A troop of only 2,000 soldiers, led by Nobunaga Oda, a warlord of Owari makes a surprise attack on Yoshimoto's camp. In a desperate battle, Nobunaga's legions defeat the invaders and slay Yoshimoto. (This historical event is known as the Battle of Okehazama.)
Just as Nobunaga is exulting in his victory, an arrow from one of Yoshimoto's soldiers pierces his throat. He falls to the ground in a death of struggle.
A young man watches this from a remote hill. His name is Samanosuke Akechi. He is marked by destiny...
ONE YEAR LATER...
Strange incidents are occurring in Inabayama Castle in Mino prefecture. Soldiers and workers are disappearing without a trace. Worried by these inexplicable events, Princess Yuki sends a plea for help to Samanosuke. At once, he races to the castle. But he arrives too late. Yuki has been kidnapped!
At the same time, enemy troops are attacking the castle. Leading the army - risen from certain death and astride a fierce warhorse - is Nobunaga!
It's time for action! Samanosuke vows to rescue Yuki with the help of his partner kunoichi* Kaede and defeat Nobunaga and his army of demon warriors.
