Plot
- Source:
Kishiwada clan Senior Vassal Naito Mondo asks Kyōshirō to rape a woman loved by the lord of the Kishiwada clan so that her reputation will be destroyed, as this woman is suspected of being a spy for the Satsuma clan. Kyōshirō agrees and fulfills the request, but also arranges for two Hina Imperial dolls presented to the Kushiwada clan by the Shogunate to be stolen. Later, Kyōshirō is attacked by assassins of the Satsuma clan, but refuses to kill one of them who is a half-breed samurai like Kyōshirō himself. When the Imperial dolls are damaged, Kyōshirō begins a journey to somehow have them repaired and becomes involved in the conflict between the Satsuma and Kishiwada clans as Satsuma assassins continually attempt to kill him.
