Set in the waning days of the Tokugawa (Edo) period, the story follows Hijikata Toshizo of the Shinsengumi, a young samurai eager to prove himself in combat. He trains at a dojo that teaches the Tennen Rishin style to farmers and is dismissed by other schools as not true samurai. When the rival Kogen Itto dojo, led by master Sohaku Rokusha, issues a challenge, Hijikata meets him in a duel that sparks a bitter rivalry lasting for generations.
