Plot
Plot
Returning to Japan after twelve years in America, Doshiro Kiriu is inexplicably dressed in the full attire of a samurai. His appearance constantly provokes fights with delinquents, all of whom he easily defeats. After a particular incident, classmate Kensuke Kosaka began loyally serving him as his lord. When a classmate, Erika Shirase, is falsely accused of theft by a teacher and a delinquent named Shibayama, Kensuke uncovers the conspiracy. Although her name is cleared, their methods force Doshiro, Kensuke, Erika, and another student, Ai Saotome, to leave the school. The group subsequently transfers to Akehisa Third High, the most notorious school for delinquents in the region.
