The 17th episode of the new TV anime "Shin Samurai Den YAIBA," based on the manga "YAIBA" by Gosho Aoyama , who is known for " Detective Conan " and other works, "The Man of the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu School," will be broadcast on Yomiuri TV/Nippon TV at 5:30 pm on August 2nd.
After fighting Ishikawa Goemon in Osaka, Blade obtains a large ball that has the ability to grow to enormous size, but Goemon steals the water and gold balls from him. Blade and his companions have come to Hida Takayama in preparation for the decisive battle at Kawanakajima to retrieve the balls, and along the way they meet Yagyu Jubei Sangen, a former disciple of Musashi. However, Jubei's memory of what he had been doing before meeting Blade and his companions seems hazy.
"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 Tetsujin, who returns to Japan by chance and makes great strides in his quest to become even stronger in a new training ground. The script for the new anime will be fully supervised by Aoyama, the original author. It will be produced by WIT STUDIO, known for "Attack on Titan" and "SPY x FAMILY".
