==Plot Elements ==
===Volume 1=== 
*Shiro Tokisada Amakusa, slain in Japan of 1638 by the forces of the Tokugawa Shogunate for their part in the "Shimabara tax revolt", is resurrected in 1788 as an akuma from making a deal with the dark god Ambrosia by bringing the evil entity into the world by using the Palenke stone and its energy. Driven by hatred for the Shogunate and having a nihilistic streak towards the world, they unleash their dark powers to bring chaos to all of existence.
* A variety of warriors — some historic, some fictional — converge upon the source of the chaos, each driven by their own reasons.
*In the end, Haohmaru defeats Amakusa. Afterwards, Haohmaru encounters his lover, Shizu, who has followed him all the way to Shimabara, but Haohmaru parts with her due to his samurai status. Sometime later, Haohmaru faces off against Mai Shiranui, but the outcome of their battle is unknown.
===Haohmaru Hell Challenge=== 
*One year after the defeat of Amakusa, a new threat soon emerges in the form of Mizuki Rashojin: a vengeful spirit who possess a local shrine priestess named Mizuki and seeks to bring forth chaos and destruction to the world in the name of the dark god Ambrosia's will.
* Those who had fought before in the past during Amakusa's reign of terror now find themselves, along with a few new faces, battling against Mizuki and her loyal forces in order to determine the fate of the entire world itself.
*In the end, Haohmaru defeats Mizuki. Afterwards, Haohmaru is about to be killed by Genjuro, but Shizu, Haohmaru's lover, convinces Genjuro to spare him. All of a sudden, Genan arrives and claims to be "moved to tears".
===Blades of Blood=== 
*This volume follows the journey of a young semi-amnesic boy named Shizumaru Hisame as he and many other warriors seek out a powerful and dangerous swordsman named Zankuro Minazuki for their own personal reasons.
* In the end, Shizmaru defeats Zankuro. Afterwards, Shizumaru avenges his parents and wishes them a safe passage to Heaven.
===Amakusa's Revenge=== 
*The year is 1789.
*As frost, floods, fires, and famine play havoc with the world, a sinister castle appears in the land of Shimabara. The lord of that castle is Shiro Tokisada Amakusa.
*Having previously been resurrected from the realm of the dead, Amakusa was supposed to have been slain in the midst of their evil designs, but now they returns to subjugate the world of the living.
*Having already engulfed the Shimabara peninsula, this castle of evil grows larger day by day. People soon call it "Amakusa Castle" and in their terror begin to revere it, hoping this will save them. But little did they know that this act of desperation would only summon further misfortune....
*Amakusa has returned for more trouble, this time taking over a castle in a jagged wasteland and kidnapping the sorceress-in-training Hazuki Kazama, Kazuki and Sogetsu's beloved younger sister, in order to use her as a power source.
*The power spreading from Amakusa's work catches the attention of various warriors who head in for a variety of purposes... and even Zankuro Minazuki also has a hand in the story.
* In the end, both Kazuki and Sogetsu defeat both Aku Amakusa and Zankuro. Afterwards, Kazuki rescues Hazuki and Sogetsu fakes his brother's death.
=== Volume 5 === 
*Twenty years ago, a certain process was done over the years. Yuga would take out babies from their mother's wombs for a few days. She would put a certain spell on them and return them to the mother's womb. The baby would be born as if nothing happened. The child would show incredible talent in different fields. These children were called "Shindou" or "Kidou".
*Twenty years later, the children would become incredible adults who have a high status or are well known. Yuga would appear before these people and would show them a mysterious puppet show. This causes them to remember why they were born in this world and would follow orders given by Yuga.
*In the end, Haohmaru defeats Yuga. Afterwards, Haohmaru departs, continuing to strengthen himself for the next evil that comes.
* Kuroko implies that Yuga is still alive.
===Warriors Rage=== 
*In an unknown land an eerie disturbance disrupts the sky, leading a dark mass to the land.
*It is the ultimate evil-it is the reincarnation of Yuga the Destroyer.
*The objective of this being who once more alights to earth is the unification of this world and the Netherworld using the hermaphrodite male and female-that is, the construction of a utopia to become the foundation for the resurrection of the Dark God.
*As he resumes his search for the hermaphrodites, those turned into puppets by Yuga's magic unleash their carnage to gather the sacrifices necessary for the ritual of utopian construction.
*These puppets then employ various means to increase the dead and provide sacrifices. Some, for example, become leaders of the Shogunate to carry out ruthless policies, some became common murderers, and still others deliberately incite revolt against the government.
*Through the influence of the devilish reincarnation, outbreaks of famine and plagues further increase the dead, providing the evil with yet more strength and delight.
* The mountain of dead gathered by these means is subsequently heaped up on the altar of the Netherworld and fashioned into two pillars in which the hermaphroditic male and female are to be subsequently imprisoned.
*At this time one man returns to the Netherworld. The name of this warrior who stands directly before these literal pillars of the dead in the darkness is Asura. Master of magic, he is the dark swordsman appearing in this realm to wreak his revenge on Yuga.
*Regardless, his enemy steadily proceeds with the construction of his utopia. The curtain now rises on this drama of revenge that will engulf both our world and the land of the dead.
* In the end, Asura defeats Yuga. Afterwards, Asura kisses Shiki and sends her back to her own time. Then he fuses with Shadow Asura so that his clone could survive.
===Revival of the Azure and Crimson Blades=== 
*It is a time of sustained peace, and the age of the sword was drawing to a close. But an increasing number could not adapt to the flow of history and became trouble before long. So, the shogunate created a "colony of prisoners" on a small island in sea nearby Edo as a place to rehabilitate the outlaws. But there were those who exploited this prison island and tried to create a "new world exclusively for the chosen ones" after destroying the shogunate. The group they formed was called the "League of the Three Blades of Domination" and each member had their own mighty strength. Using their might, they subjugated the outlaws and begin their plans to overthrow the shogunate. And in no time the "town of outlaws" came to be called "Ritenkyo"-the seat of opposition.
*Under these figures Ritenkyo unexpectedly changed from a "place of rehabilitation for returning to society" to a "lawless zone in which only the strong survive." The inhabitants engaged in vendettas, skirmishes, and death battles to survive from day to day. And the "Three Blades of Domination" steadily consolidated their power to its utmost, absorbing strength from the hate surrounding them.
* On a still, pitch-black night of the new moon. Flicker-Flicker-Flicker-Flicker. The glow of a candle grows and a single shadow emerges from the darkness. It is an elderly gentleman with a beard and tranquil visage. "Have they arrived?"
*"Yes, Lord Oboro. The red-eyed boy and girl have come."
*Only a voice comes from the darkness. Without making a noise, the old man rises and speaks: "At last, the time has come.... Time to make their acquaintance." The man's closed eyelids pop open. His red eyes glow with the light of the candle.
*Whooooosh! A burst of wind slices the calm, and darkness once again dominates the world.
*A few years later, three people look down at the world below from a tall tower. One is a tall man armed with a sword; the other, a bewitching, alabaster-skinned woman. The two share a pair of red eyes. And standing behind them awaits a fine-looking elderly man who appears somewhat out of place.
*The sunlight reflects off their red eyes, making them glow eerily. The woman mutters, "A few people we have some things to settle with appear to have entered Ritenkyo. Word has it that they are major obstacles to the realization of our intentions."
*The man speaks as he continues to survey the world below. "All we need to do is wait here. The rats will come even if we do nothing."
*The Three Blades of Domination are about to bring an end to the era of peace in this world. And the warriors who battle for their own reasons converge on "Ritenkyo" as our story begins.
*In the end, Seishiro defeats Oboro (and Tohma later on). Mikoto suddenly arrives and begs Seishiro to Tohma's life. Ignoring Mikoto's pleas, a prideful Tohma tries to attack Seishiro again but is beaten again effortlessly. Seishiro reclaims his father's missing sword and returns home, continuing the Kuki legacy.
===Volume 8=== 
*The volume begins during the Tenmei famine in Japan, which lead to a severe depression and near chaos throughout the country.
* Upset by his country men's lamentations and the shogun's indifference to their plight, former Tokugawa general, Kyogoku Hinowanokami Gaoh, stages a rebellion in his land, Hinowa, against the reigning Tokugawa. He also hopes that his revolt will make the next shogun in line, Yoshitora Tokugawa, realize his responsibilities to his country.
*The war caused by the conflict gains the interest from several warriors.
*In the end, Yoshitora defeats Gaoh. Afterwards, Yoshitora spares him and ends the war, vowing to help Japan whatever way he can.
===Volume 9=== 
*An ordained meeting of 28 fierce warriors begins, to precede a series of duels to the death. These individuals entrust their fates to their skill and their weapons. For those not up to the task, a cherished end in battle is their only hope.
*The twenty-eight Samurai characters clash in one epic title.
*Mizuki is the host.
* The winner fights and defeats Mizuki, who vows to return before disintegrating.
===Tale of the World's Greatest Swordsmen=== 
*Set in an unknown year, Yoshitora makes a proclamation to decide the strongest fighter in the world.
*In the end, both Andrew and Iroha defeat Demon Gaoh. Afterwards, Yoshitora requests a coalition between him and Andrew, but the latter turns down the offer.
