Plot[]

Koshu Road is approaching the end of the year. Zatoichi, who came to Isawa-juku, was forced to slash Bakuto Unokichi because of his in-law. However, Kumayoshi's aim was to Unokichi's sister's sleeve. He was planning to make a profit by taking care of his sleeves with Sosuke Sariya, a wealthy merchant. Kumayoshi's minions attacked the sleeves of his younger brother's body. When the city rescued his sleeves, he was indignant at Kumayoshi's cowardly manner and left Ishiwajuku. On the other hand, Kumayoshi, who escaped to his sleeve, made five people, including Kanzo, follow him. The city, which was thinking about the body of such sleeves, turned all its nerves toward the sleeves and walked along the road without leaving. When I approached a certain village, my sleeves were tempted by the travelling ronin Kashiwazaki. Once again, Sode, who was saved from the danger, began a journey along the road with the city after Kashiwazaki and his followers, who had to see him off severely. However, the heart of the sleeve was mysteriously upset by the city, which was a benefactor but a villain. One night, his sleeves turned to the city with an unokichi-shaped aikuchi. However, after all, it is a woman's hand. I had no choice but to cry because of the city. Eventually, his sleeves collapsed due to high heat, and the city went to the casino to work on gold. However, the unlucky city has been banished. At that time, Kashiwazaki threw an oval with a mortgage from the city's swordstick. The city challenged the final game with a fresh hand, but Kashiwazaki's cold eyes saw through the squid. The city, which was wrapped in a bowl, was thrown into the Fuji River and was bought by the Kanzo crew for five cars and was violent. It was Kashiwazaki that freed such a city from the crew. The city returned the swordstick, but Kashiwazaki couldn't help but feel murderous. Kashiwazaki watches over the movement of the city by touching the handle of the sword. Breaking that tension, the three samurai who chased Kashiwazaki slashed. When the city returned to the travel basket, the sleeve left a letter and left for Suwa's prostitute Kinpeirou. The thirty cars that the sleeves made for the rehabilitation of his younger brother were the money he sold. When the city went to Kinpeirou and let him escape his sleeves, he visited the casino of Sasana on the gold side. Kumayoshi and his crew were waiting for the city, but there was no one who could match the city's swordstick. The city with the money hurried to the temple where the sleeves were waiting. However, Kashiwazaki was waiting there with his sleeves. Even at that time, Suwa Myojin's most drumming drum. Iai sword The fierce confrontation between the city and Kashiwazaki, the sushi Shinmei school, resulted in the city's victory. The city threw an oval in front of the men in the Kinpeirou, which was then rushed. Tears that shine in the eyes of the sleeves. The drums of Suwa Myojin rang and the face of Hibiki City was dyed red at sunrise on New Year's Day.
