Adapted from the popular manga series by the renowned Takayuki Yamaguchi, this anime saga centers on a legendary death match between allies-turned-rivals Fujiki Gennosuke, the one-armed swordsman, and Irako Seigen, the blind samurai. Former students of the same master, Fujiki and Irako battle for the right to assume the abandoned throne of the great Iwamoto Kogan -- but only one warrior can wear the crown.
