Orient Plot:
Musashi and his friend Kojirou Kanemaki promised each other to become samurai and go on demon-slaying adventures when they grow up. It’s been five years since the promise, but everything has changed, demons are being worshipped while the samurais are being despised.
Trying to protect his dream, Musashi blends in with society as a miner while secretly honing his swordsmanship. Despite being a direct descendant of samurai, Kojirou gives up on the promise he made with Musashi years back.
But, Fate always has its way to bring back the lost to the right path. And just like that after saving Musashi from a life-threatening situation, Kojirou has a change of heart. Following this, he embarks on a journey with Musashi to restore the lost glory of samurai and slay the demons from taking over this world.
