Summary: The story begins in 1629 Shizuoka during Tokugawa Tadanaga's rule. The daimyo staged a tournament where the participants fought with real steel Japanese swords rather than bokken ("wooden sword"), against his vassals' strong objection. The story revolves around the first match between the one-armed swordsman Fujiki Gennosuke and the blind samurai Irako Seigen and deals with the circumstances that led the two to participate in Tokugawa's tournament.

Story was very good and exciting. Fantastic moves that are non-magic or superhuman based abilities are applied so there's an imaginative thought that "I could probably do it with intensive training" kind of thinking.

I hope they do release a 2nd set for this one so as to progress on the actual reason that led Fujiki to having only 1 arm.
