"True Samurai Legend YAIBA" Episode 9 "The Birth of the Lightning Slash" Synopsis

The ninth episode of "Shin Samurai Den YAIBA," a new TV anime based on the manga "YAIBA" by Gosho Aoyama , who is known for " Detective Conan " and other works, titled "The Birth of the Lightning Slash," will be broadcast on the Yomiuri TV/Nippon TV network at 5:30 pm on May 31st.

Thanks to Musashi's training, Hajime is now able to control the Raijinken without it going out of control. However, just using the power of the sword now consumes a great deal of his mental and physical strength. So, after returning to the Mine family from Ganryu Island, Hajime and his friends continue to train with Kojiro and Musashi, who are still at home for some reason, in order to create a new deadly sword that can counter Onimaru.

"YAIBA" is a swordplay action manga that Aoyama serialized in "Weekly Shonen Sunday" (Shogakukan) from 1988 to 1993, before " Detective Conan" began serialization. It depicts the exploits of Yaiba Kurogane, an unconventional young swordsman who trains in the jungle with his father. The story follows Yaiba, who returns to Japan by chance and strives to become even stronger in his new training ground. The new anime will be fully supervised by the original author Aoyama. It will be produced by WIT STUDIO, known for "Attack on Titan" and "SPY×FAMILY".
