After their great clash, [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane") and [Takeshi Onimaru](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru") continue their respective intensive trainings. While Yaiba tries to heighten his senses by practicing with a blindfold, Takeshi starts to use the [Fujin-ken](/wiki/index.php?title=Fujin-ken&action=edit&redlink=1 "Fujin-ken (page does not exist)"), the sword of the wind god, in the mysterious hidden cellar of his home.
After four days of not coming up once, he has changed - transformed by the magic of the sword, enhanced by his anger, into a horned humanoid being, an [Oni](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oni "wikipedia:Oni")...

[Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane") interrupts his training to go back to [middle school](/wiki/Middle_School_(Yaiba) "Middle School (Yaiba)") with [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine") for once, where he is instantly cheerfully greeted by his fellow students. The joy doesn't last for long though, since the demonically possessed [Takeshi Onimaru](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru") made his way back to school with his [Fujin-ken](/wiki/index.php?title=Fujin-ken&action=edit&redlink=1 "Fujin-ken (page does not exist)") in tow, too, chasing away the teacher of Yaiba's and Sayaka's class, Mr. [Sudou](/wiki/index.php?title=Sudou&action=edit&redlink=1 "Sudou (page does not exist)"). Yaiba tries to stop the new Onimaru, but overwhelmingly gets knocked down a peg by his new powers and the magic of the sword.
In the meantime, an [old man](/wiki/Musashi_Miyamoto "Musashi Miyamoto") on a [mountain](/wiki/index.php?title=Mount_Tengu&action=edit&redlink=1 "Mount Tengu (page does not exist)") notices a [sword](/wiki/index.php?title=Raijin-ken&action=edit&redlink=1 "Raijin-ken (page does not exist)") he is watching over flashing up, deducing that the demon has returned...

The battle between [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane") and [Takeshi Onimaru](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru") continues unchanged, with the former not having a bit of a chance. Just when Onimaru tries to land a fatal blow on him, Yaiba's pet vulture [Shonosuke](/wiki/Shonosuke "Shonosuke") appears, while [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine") gets dragged away by [Keiko Momoi](/wiki/Keiko_Momoi "Keiko Momoi").
Back at the [Mine residence](/wiki/Mine_residence "Mine residence"), [Kenjuro Kurogane](/wiki/Kenjuro_Kurogane "Kenjuro Kurogane") visits in time to tell the kids about another sword that you need to stop someone with the sword of the wind god: [Raijin-ken](/wiki/index.php?title=Raijin-ken&action=edit&redlink=1 "Raijin-ken (page does not exist)"), the sword of the thunder god. Yaiba and his pets kidnap Sayaka in the middle of the night, still in her pajamas, and take her to [Mount Tengu](/wiki/index.php?title=Mount_Tengu&action=edit&redlink=1 "Mount Tengu (page does not exist)"), where the Raijin-ken is said to be kept by [Miyamoto Musashi](/wiki/Miyamoto_Musashi "Miyamoto Musashi").

[Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine") spots the [Raijin-ken](/wiki/index.php?title=Raijin-ken&action=edit&redlink=1 "Raijin-ken (page does not exist)") outside his house and tries to pull it out of the ground Excalibur-style, but gets electrocuted because she isn't the one destined to wield it. Musashi is sure that no one of them is, making him bewildered when Yaiba pulls out the sword without any effort, making him the prophesied "Legendary Samurai". But then the boy gets possessed by the god dwelling inside that blade, too.

He afterwards convinces Yaiba and even Sayaka and their pets to do some "training", which turns out to be just him exploiting the kids as workers to build him a new home.
[Takeshi Onimaru](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru") meanwhile notices his sword reacting, [Raijin](/wiki/index.php?title=Raijin&action=edit&redlink=1 "Raijin (page does not exist)")'s arm returning to the statue and tricking his [grandfather](/wiki/index.php?title=Takeshi%27s_Grandfather&action=edit&redlink=1 "Takeshi's Grandfather (page does not exist)") to giving an explanation that someone plugged out the sword and the god briefly returned.

[Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane") on the other hand tries to begin his training under [Musashi Miyamoto](/wiki/Musashi_Miyamoto "Musashi Miyamoto"), who's still tricking him into doing useless things in the hope of finally taking his mentoring seriously (and to get some grilled fish). Onimaru concurrently ritually sacrifices a frog to awaken the first of the demons: The toad-like warrior [Gerozaemon Geroda](/wiki/Gerozaemon_Geroda "Gerozaemon Geroda").

He plans to recreate the building in his image as [Onimaru Castle](/wiki/index.php?title=Onimaru_Castle&action=edit&redlink=1 "Onimaru Castle (page does not exist)").
[Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane") and his friends still battle [Gerozaemon Geroda](/wiki/Gerozaemon_Geroda "Gerozaemon Geroda") and his [minions](/wiki/index.php?title=Oni_Minions&action=edit&redlink=1 "Oni Minions (page does not exist)") at the pond at [Mount Tengu](/wiki/index.php?title=Mount_Tengu&action=edit&redlink=1 "Mount Tengu (page does not exist)"). One of the Oni accidentally grabs [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine")'s chest, causing her to beat him up, while another Oni takes the [Raijin-ken](/wiki/index.php?title=Raijin-ken&action=edit&redlink=1 "Raijin-ken (page does not exist)") and gets electrocuted by it, throwing the blade into the water where Yaiba catches it, which makes it possible for him to finally escape Gerozaemon's clutches. The frog man follows the group, but when he tries to attack them with his long tongue, Yaiba grabs it and ties it around a tree at the other side of a deep canyon, effectively creating a bridge he and his friends can cross, leaving Gerozaemon behind.

[Musashi Miyamoto](/wiki/Musashi_Miyamoto "Musashi Miyamoto") and [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane") are arguing about who's going to [Tokyo](/wiki/Tokyo "Tokyo") to sound out the location, ending with both flying there on the back of [Shonosuke](/wiki/Shonosuke "Shonosuke"). [Gerozaemon Geroda](/wiki/Gerozaemon_Geroda "Gerozaemon Geroda") is still caught over the canyon, but his minions have a plan to free him, which just causes his fall, temporarily knocking him out.
Musashi and Yaiba are witnessing the now completed [Onimaru Castle](/wiki/index.php?title=Onimaru_Castle&action=edit&redlink=1 "Onimaru Castle (page does not exist)"), with Yaiba urging to attack Onimaru, who notices because his [Fujin-ken](/wiki/index.php?title=Fujin-ken&action=edit&redlink=1 "Fujin-ken (page does not exist)") reacting to their presence.

When they finally return to Musashi's house, [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine") and [Kagetora](/wiki/Kagetora "Kagetora") are gone - kidnapped by Gerozaemon and his minions.

When Yaiba arrives he instantly gets attacked, leading to an underwater battle between him and the Oni minions, where he grimaces to make them laugh, freeing him from their grasp while the others are fighting at the waterside. He joins them in their battle and faces Gerozaemon personally, again trying to use the [Raijin-ken](/wiki/index.php?title=Raijin-ken&action=edit&redlink=1 "Raijin-ken (page does not exist)") against him - and again getting possessed by the god of thunder, endangering everyone around him.

* Unlike [Prime Minister Uemoto](/wiki/Magic_Kaito_Volume_2#Japan.27s_Most_Irresponsible_Prime_Minister "Magic Kaito Volume 2"), the unnamed Prime Minister here is depicted as a corrupt man, virtually identical to the [department store manager in "Star War"](/wiki/Magic_Kaito_Volume_3#Star_War "Magic Kaito Volume 3"); this is undoubtedly a reference to the [Recruit scandal](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recruit_scandal "wikipedia:Recruit scandal"), which implicated Japan's real-life Prime Minister [Noboru Takeshita](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noboru_Takeshita "wikipedia:Noboru Takeshita") (among many other prominent politicians) and eventually forced his resignation.

This technically makes [Onimaru's castle](/wiki/index.php?title=Onimaru_Castle&action=edit&redlink=1 "Onimaru Castle (page does not exist)") a real building, as this, it's one of the best places to pinpoint the location of the fictional [Yaoya](/wiki/Yaoya "Yaoya") District and the [mansion](/wiki/Mine_residence "Mine residence") of the Mine family, since it's pretty close to the castle.
