The samurai bathes in blood during fierce sword duels, seeking the meaning of battle. Where will the path he treads ultimately lead? The protagonist of this work is Miyamoto Musashi. A hot-blooded warrior who appears in Kyoto to reach the pinnacle of kenjutsu, only to find his path of training unexpectedly twisted and strange.
