Synopsis – Yaiba:

We follow the daily life of Yaiba Kurogane, a young boy raised to become a samurai and who lives isolated in the forest with his father, Kenjurou Kurogane. It is in town that Yaiba discovers that he is a legendary warrior destined to fight evil embodied by Takeshi Onimaru, a high school student with a demonic appearance.

On his way to becoming a true samurai, Yaiba meets characters who support, train or inspire him to surpass himself. Despite his incredible sword-wielding skills, Yaiba is sometimes clumsy, turning potential allies into enemies. His companions often make up for the situation with reprimands.

Together, they experience incredible adventures, meet legendary figures in Japanese history, and face insurmountable challenges to save the planet from an alien threat.
