Story
As a youth, Musashi is thoroughly trained by his father. At the age of 21 he comes to Kyoto to challenge the renowned kenshi of the Yoshioka family. Intending only to face the head of the family Yoshioka Seijuro, this encounter quickly unfolds into a deadly duel with Yoshioka Denshichiro and then the rest of the Yoshioka members at Ichijoji’s Sagari Matsu. It was around that time that the Hosokawa retainer, Sawamura Daigaku, would come across Sasaki Kojiro at Kyoto’s Atagoyama.
Musashi will then face the two masters of Kusarigama and Spear – Sishido and Douei. Then finally victory will be decided between Musashi and the newly appointed Kenjutsu instructor of the Hosokawa – Sasaki Kojiro.
