Release: April 2, 1990

Synopsis
More than twenty years after Tokugawa Ieyasu established Edo, during a critical period when the Tokugawa shogunate's permanent rule was still uncertain, the third shogun, Iemitsu, successfully completed the shogunate succession ceremony and embarked on his new role. At that time, a single paper was posted in the great hall of Edo Castle, stating: "If the secrets of the Martial Arts Scroll become public, the Aoi crest will wither overnight…" Immediately, rumors spread that the Yagyū Martial Arts Scroll, known as the Bugeichō, concealed a conspiracy that threatened the very survival of the shogunate. Thus began the battle between a mysterious group targeting the scroll and the Yagyū family.
