Summary
At the dawn of the 17th century, at the end of the era of civil wars, in a world of chaos, the epic Battle of Sekigahara was joined. One man emerged from the largest battle ever fought on Japanese soil; a terrible warrior of unspeakable power, he was nicknamed 'the unconquerable.'
Kyoshiro is a peaceful medicine peddler who harbors the soul of an assassin. He accompanies a young bounty hunter across Japan in search of a murderer and on a quest to discover the terrible secret of his own identity.

Hey, Tiger & Bunny, what're you trying to say here? Superheroes, reality shows, corporate sponsors, product placement, and economic downturns?
If you needed any further confirmation that Japanese anime studios are scoping out potential foreign audiences when they greenlight a new show, this is it. The series has "Region 1 license" written all over it, with a dizzying American pop-culture pastiche designed to amuse fans on either side of the Pacific. The story begins in Stern Bild, an ultra-modern city where DC/Marvel-type superheroes are a fact of life—except that they have corporate logos plastered across their skintight suits and have their exploits shown on TV as if it were a professional sport. That wry premise alone ought to sell the series.
