Episode 5 Story

In the middle of a night battered by fierce winds, a mysterious explosive fire breaks out at the soba restaurant Komoroya. Gengo and the others rush to the scene, only to find the bedridden proprietress trapped inside, along with Osuzu who refuses to leave her side.

As the wind shifts and the danger of another explosion looms, what is needed is the rare skill of “wind reading,” the ability to understand the movement of fire through a deep grasp of nature itself. Gengo runs to bring Seijuro Kaji to the scene. Overcoming his inner conflict, Seijuro heads to Komoroya, driven by the resolve to save lives.

Amid the raging flames, a heated rescue unfolds, where the weight of human life and the bonds between people collide in a dramatic struggle against the fire.

Introduction

The fireman samurai who stopped that great blaze came to be called this―― Hikuidori.

Once known as Hikuidori, Gengo Matsunaga was Edo’s finest fireman samurai. For certain reasons, he had stepped away from firefighting, but one day, an unexpected offer of service arrives from the Shinjo Domain.

The Shinjo Domain’s fire brigade is broke, understaffed, and looked down upon by those around them. With encouragement from his wife, Miyuki, Gengo accepts the role of leader and sets out to rebuild the collapsed brigade. Gathering comrades with quirks and rough edges, they are mocked as the “Boro-Tobi,” yet Gengo and his team fight on with the conviction that “every life must be saved.”

Meanwhile, a series of mysterious suspicious fires known as “Kitsunebi” continues to plague Edo. As impending disaster draws near, a group of stubborn firemen rush into action.

An action-packed entertainment drama about relentless firefighters begins!
