Storyline

One day, the hated hatamoto Kira Uenosuke is slashed by the lord of Ako. The lord is furious at Kira's malicious bullying and is on the verge of death. If he dies from the wound, it would be a samurai's disgrace, and his family would face ruin. At this point, a retainer of the Kira family proposes a plan: use Uenosuke's younger brother, Kōshō, who looks exactly like him, as a stand-in to deceive the shogunate. Meanwhile, Ōishi Kuranosuke, a retainer of the lord of Ako who committed seppuku, appears to be waiting for a chance to take revenge.
