''Tsurugi (劒冑)'' - These are [[PoweredArmor powerful sets of armour]] which can only be crafted by [[UltimateBlacksmith special smiths]], who infuse their own soul into it at the point of completion. Any man or woman who wields a Tsurugi is known as a ''Musha (武者 - Warrior)'' and will gain powers beyond belief.
The story takes place in AlternateHistory Japan, shortly after the [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII second great war]]. The Rokuhara Shogunate rules the country with an iron fist and their mass-produced brand of Tsurugi while being under administration by the occupying forces of the [[{{Eagleland}} GHQ]]. While the Shogunate suppresses the people with brutal force, the GHQ tries turning the land into a Military Base for their own needs. Naturally, both sides try to overthrow each other.
Unnoticed by all of this, a young man with name Kageaki Minato is roaming the land with his own Tsurugi, the blood-red ''Muramasa'' as an [[CowboyCop unofficial Police Man]], solving different incidents involving Tsurugi users and fighting the injustice of Rokuhara. His true motivation, however, is not nearly as noble. Kageaki is longing for {{Revenge}} for his massacred home town and broken sword, searching for the one responsible, Silver Star, one of the most powerful Tsurugi in existence and hunting it down. But Kageaki is no hero nor would he ever call himself a man of Justice. He merely wants to atone himself for his past sins and the people he murders and has murdered over the course of his journey.
''"The Demon I meet, the Demon I slay. The Saint I meet, the Saint I slay. This is the way of the sword!"''
This is the phrase that Kageaki says when fusing with Muramasa, and this is the phrase that tells both his past and his future…
