Fifteen-year-old Musashi spends his school days training for the local mining trade alongside the compliant masses, quietly suppressing the forbidden swordsmanship lessons of his youth to avoid public condemnation. Beside him stands his estranged companion Kojirou Kanemaki, the reclusive heir to a reviled bushido bloodline who has grown bitter and dismissive of the childhood oath the pair once swore to forge an elite samurai band. The bitter reality of their existence snaps into focus on graduation day, when the newly minted apprentice miners descend into subterranean pits only to find themselves served as fodder to fatten a grotesque beast. Refusing to succumb to slaughter, Musashi draws a concealed blade and unleashes his long-buried combat training against the rampaging creature. Kojirou roars onto the mining floor astride an iron steed, throwing his weight into the fray to preserve his reckless friend and resurrecting their buried resolve with each steel blow.
