In 17th‑century Edo, marauding hatamoto bands terrorize the city. Their leader, Mizuno Jirozaemon, a high‑ranking samurai crippled by debt, sparks a tragedy that shakes the streets. Opposing him is Banzui‑in Chobei, the ‘Protector of the Weak,’ who risks everything to defend Edo’s districts from the violent hatamoto.
