Set on Tsushima, which was suddenly attacked by the Mongol Empire army, the story follows a surviving samurai who, as a "kuroudo" (a person resurrected from the underworld), decides to protect the people of Tsushima even if it means engaging in fighting methods that go against the way of the samurai, and challenges the Mongol army.
