Meiji Gekken: 1874

Shizuma es un antiguo soldado del ejército japonés que se intenta ganar la vida llevando un rickshaw mientras busca a la hermana de su compañero de armas.

Después de mucho negarse ante la insistencia del comisario Kawaji, Shizuma accede a unirse a la policía para buscar a Sumie con más medios que antes.

In the course of their investigations, Osanai and Shizuma hear of something called the "hunting club," a group that abducts people and hunts them for sport.

Kyoushirou is tasked with spearheading the Japan Gekkenkai fencing tournament. Shizuma is assigned to participate in the tournament to investigate a seemingly random attack.

The finals of the Japan Gekkenkai fencing tournament are underway, but a last-minute announcement sees the event contested with real swords instead of wooden ones.

La noticia del asesinato de su compañero deja a Shizuma devastado y con ganas de buscar venganza, no importa quién haya sido, él acabará con el asesino.

Fujita saves Kyoushirou from the trap Hiramatsu Buhei has set for him. Intrigued to know more about the bad blood between the two, Fujita asks Kyoushirou why he is doggedly pursuing Hiramatsu.

Shizuma manages to thwart an assassination attempt on Ohkubo Toshimichi in the nick of time. While he's recuperating, there’s a strange incident where the moon is blotted out late at night and wooden fish fall from the sky.

Ohkubo and Chief Superintendent Kawaji catch wind of Hiramatsu’s conspiracy against the government, but Aizu's former military adviser still has a major surprise for them up his sleeve.

El grupo liderado por Buhei lanza el ataque definitivo para llevarse al emperador, pero tanto Shizuma como Kyoshiro intentarán evitarlo por su lado.
