Just before her 20th birthday, Yuki learns that the Takemikazuchi leader (Kyusaku Shimada) killed Yuki's mother and took Yuki's rightful place as clan leader. Yuki seeks revenge, is wounded, and then nursed back to health by Takashi (Hideaki Ito) who just happens to be stalked by his own rebel band. The action scenes are great.
