Synopsis: In the turbulent era of the end of the curtain, the enemy and us were constantly attacking, and the other was growing. During this period, countless heroes and masters emerged, and together they wrote the heroic and spectacular history of the Meiji Restoration. Among these people, the legendary swordsman and executioner of the Restoration faction, Pudaozhai, is famous, but with the advent of the new era, his figure seems to be hidden in the long river of history. Meiji 11, Tokyo, Japan. A man called "The Executioner Pulling the Sword" appeared on the street, beheading passers-by for no reason, causing people to panic. Kaoru Kamiya (played by Takei Saki), a beautiful girl who inherited the Kamiya Dojo from her father, disregarded her personal safety, and recklessly took to the streets to find the sword of the sword. Fortunately, a passing man rescued her at a critical moment. And this man is the long-disappeared Totosai himself, Hiimura Kenshin (played by Takeshi Sato). Since the success of the Meiji Restoration, he has sworn an oath to never kill another person again. And the person who faked the name of the swordsman to do evil was the bodyguard Udo Ren (played by Yoshikawa Koji) who was employed by the black-hearted industrialist Takeda Kanyanagi (played by Kagawa Teruyuki). Takeda's bright appearance hides his ambition to rule the world. For this reason, he manipulates the female doctor Gao Hahui (played by Aoi Yu) to make opium, and uses the huge money earned from drug trafficking to buy weapons everywhere. Takeda's criminal activities have already attracted the attention of Saito Ichi (played by Yosuke Eguchi), a former member of the Shogunate Shinsengumi, and the current Meiji government police officer Fujita Goro, but he cannot directly intervene until Takeda has actual actions. At the same time, Takeda plotted to seize the land near the Kamiya Dojo, for which he did not hesitate to kill the local people. During the brief lingering at Kamiya Dojo, Kenshin really felt the pain of the people around him, so he teamed up with the noisy Sagara Saanosuke (played by Takao Aoki), and went to the Takeda Mansion, which was guarded by 250 guards.
