Nemuri Kyoshiro must stop a group of rebels from burning down the city of Edo. After a daring daytime robbery of the city’s biggest oil dealer, a witness to the crime informs Kyoshiro and almost burns down the restaurant they are in. A ronin named Aizen is the leader of the group, which had survived the infamous Oshio Incident, which had caused the death of their great teacher Kakunosuke-sensei. With revenge in mind, they bribe bodyguards to double cross the merchant who had hired them as they light fires which quickly spread. Aizen, a great swordsman in his own right, watches Nemuri’s ‘Engetsu Giri’ (Full Moon Cut), and decides to try it himself. Tension mounts as they head for the inevitable showdown. Can Kyoshiro defeat the man who has stolen his style, or will he be cut down himself? Featuring Amachi Shigeru as Aizen.
