Shuranosuke Sakaki is a Ronin of the sign of the 4 sickles and sneaks around in a long bright purple robe. Japan has both swords and guns, but guns don't play much of a role. When Mistress Mayu is kidnapped and ransomed for the sword of the Silver Dragon, Sakaki is employed to deliver the sword and rescue the mistress before the Shogun returns. This is an era where Japan is ruled by men with reverse Mohawks.
During the exchange, the sword is stolen by female warriors of the Hojo clan. They have bright orange lanterns. It seems there is a second sword, that of the mythical bird and when you put these swords together you have peace, domination, treasure, or something. Oh yeah. There is a big guy from hell in this who appears to free lancing and a smattering of Christianity awkwardly mixed with Japanese legend. And BTW the guys who hired our hero also want him dead at times so he doesn't talk.
A some point in time, our hero, forces himself on a would-be thief. She of course resists, and then likes it, but afterwards tries to kill him. He then instructs her to "return to her life as a woman." Not that Japan is more sexist than the rest of us....
