The Yagyu Clan under Jubei's father Yagyu Tajima, must protect young Shogun Iemitsu from the plots of those seeking to overthrow him. This show consists of 39 hour-long episodes which feature awesome fighting from the Japan Action Club!

Our story opens during the last days of the second Shogun. The Shogun has two sons. Their names are Iemitsu and Tadanaga. Iemitsu is the elder son and is expected to become the next Shogun. However, the real lion's share of the power is held by the Shogun.
