After 150 years of the appearance of Kishin, the world is still ruled by demons. Only the Band of Bushi continues to fight against Kishin.

Musashi and his friend Kojiro Kanemaki are striving to become the strongest and greatest Bushi ever. Kojiro and Musashi look up to Bushi warriors and they want to become strong in order to slay some demons.
