The story unfolds in 1600, after the Battle of Sekigahara. Two 17-year-olds, Takezō Shinmen and Matahachi Hon’iden, survivors on the losing side, manage to escape pursuit. Vowing to become ‘Invincible Under The Heavens’ (天下無双, Tenka Musō), they find refuge with two women, but their path takes a turn when the Tsujikaze gang attacks, leading to a separation of ways. Takezō becomes a vagabond, wandering the world to challenge strong opponents, while Matahachi chooses to stay with the women. Upon Takezō’s return to his hometown, the Miyamoto village, to inform Matahachi’s mother, Osugi Hon’iden, of her son’s survival, he faces hostility. The village disapproves of Takezō due to his violent tendencies, and Matahachi’s disappearance puts the Hon’iden family’s future at risk. Accused of being a criminal by Osugi, Takezō confronts the situation.
