Plot edit

After the death of Tokugawa Hidetada, his sons Tokugawa Iemitsu and Tokugawa Tadanaga begin to fight over the inheritance.[4] The Yagyu clan of Edo, led by Yagyū Munenori, supports Iemitsu, and Iemitsu is eventually appointed the third shogun.[5]　However, Nobutsuna Matsudaira fears the Yagyu clan and tries to prevent them from gaining power. On the other hand, Shōshō Ayamaro Karasuma, who tried to divide the Tokugawa shogunate due to the conflict between Iemitsu and Tadanaga, has not given up that hope.

Anti-shogunate factions and forces appear one after another and challenge the Tokugawa shogunate. Yagyu Jubei and his subordinates defeat the enemies of the shogunate one by one as ordered by Nobutsuna Matsudaira and Yagyu Munenori, but Jubei gradually begins to question the policies of the Tokugawa shogunate.
