錆色のアーマ-黎明-
Due to the long war, the Muromachi shogunate gradually declined. The world has entered the secret realm of mountains and seas during the Warring States Period, which advocated blood debt and blood repayment. Deep in the dense forest of the Kingdom of Nori, there is a gun group with the Yatagarasu as its military flag and emblem. They work as mercenaries and gallop on the battlefield, and their name is "Zahe Zhong". The person who inherited the title of leader of the Zahe clan was named Sun Yi, and he was a young man who drifted here from a foreign country. On the other side, Saburo, who was the first to notice the aggressive intentions of European powers, was running around to protect Japan. The two people who had nothing in common first became connected due to the attack of foreign invaders. How will this group of men in the Warring States Period implement their beliefs and justice. Their story officially begins——!
Magoichi doesn't remember his past, but after he was helped, he now has the goal of fighting to protect those who helped him.
A mysterious man appears to save Magoichi and Deku from danger, but despite his kindness, the truths he tells will deeply mark the souls of both friends.
Tsurukubi and Hotarubi leave the Saika village. Magoichi and Deku set out to find them. During a break, Magoichi explains to his comrade how Tsuru and Hotaru met.
Hotarubi recalls his memories, the assassin training he received as a child, his meeting, then his escape with Turukubi. He also remembers what Tsurukubi told him about Armors, which tap into the life energy of their wearer to unleash their power.
Cornered by the Spanish conquerors, Kurohyo sees his life flash before his eyes: his past full of material and physical difficulties, in addition to suffering cause by the absence of his father, whom he blames for the death of his entire family.
The commander of the conquistadors reveals Magoichi's mysterious past, and Saburo returns to put the Saika through rigorous training.
Time is running out, and if the Saika cannot complete Saburo's training, they may not live to fight the conquerors.
Saburo remembers his past with Hototogisu and another person who marked his life, and who made him decide to forge his own path in the future.
Lucio has appeared and has already become a major threat to Magoichi and his friends. But he and the people of Saika seem to have another unexpected enemy.
Saburo warns Magoichi, who must choose between sealing his friends' fate or his brother's, but the decision is too difficult. Perhaps there is still another way out?
Ageha acts unexpectedly, but her past can explain a lot. Even so, uncertainty haunts his days. Because of the upcoming fight against Lucio, there is no longer room for uncertainty...
Magoichi is determined to have his brother back by his side, but Lucio seems equally determined to fulfill his ambitions of spreading death wherever he goes.
