Episode 4 Story

“The Eight Demons Attack”

Although Yaiba Kurogane has obtained the legendary Raijin Sword, he is consumed by its lightning powers and loses control. To master the sword’s power, he undergoes training under Musashi Miyamoto.

Meanwhile, Takeshi Onimaru, now transformed into a demon, performs a ritual to summon his Eight Demons. He launches an attack on Japan’s National Diet Building and seizes control of the country. Seeking to take the Raijin Sword for himself, Onimaru sends two of his Eight Demons—Snakeman (Hebi-Otoko) and Frogguy (Gerozaimon Geroda)—to eliminate Yaiba.
