Although he is nervous about this unexpectedly rough task, Hikojiro successfully kills the traitor with his superb technique using a wooden sword. Having fulfilled his secret mission, Hikojiro returns to Edo as he had hoped, but at the same time, he must also exterminate a villain who has transgressed the restrictions of the authorities, which cannot be publicized... But this also meant jumping into the world of backstage executioners, where he had to jump over the restrictions of the government. A young samurai's exploits as he clears a strange destiny with his own mighty sword! A new series begins!
