## Summary

*When Hiro and his crew set off to Japan, Matsumoto, Princess Darkness sets a trap by stealing a priceless samurai sword from a castle.*

## Plot

Years ago when Hiro Hamada was still a youngster, Shadowsan taught him about the history of Japan, and the legend that it was created by droplets from a spear.
When he grew older and asked about the story, Shadowsan gave him the truth: Japan was formed by the noble Samurai, not magic.
Hiro remembers these moments as he wakes up as a train pulls into Matsumoto, Japan. After the team discovers that Shadowsan is missing, Hiro has an idea of where he might be: Matsumodo Castle. There, he spots the missing sword of the Daishō pair, and talks with the castle's curator. Exiting the castle, Shadowsan shows up and Hiro suspects Shadowsan was planning to steal the second one, but Shadowsan explains he was there to return it. They both go to a karaoke bar with the rest of the team for further deliberation, watch as Honey and Fred perform.
Later, veteran Dark One Lady Dokuso calls in Paper Star to steal the Daishō, and lead Shadowsan to them. At night, Hiro arrives at Matsumodo Castle and encounters Paper Star. He then realizes that Paper Star is only the decoy, and the Daishō have already been stolen.
Lady Dokuso reports to Darkness and her comrades, and they promise a seat at the Order of Shadows if she executes Shadowsan and Hiro successfully. The next morning, Hiro demands more information from Shadowsan, and he explains that the castles' curator is his brother, Hideo. He tells of his experience growing up with him, how he turned to a life of crime, and how they were split apart because of the Daishō.
Shadowsan then heads to Club Dokuso, a Dark One front full of criminals. Hiro and the rest of the 6 (bar Baymax) sneak in through disguises. Shadowsan then fights Dokuso's lackeys, but gets poisoned by Lady Dokuso. Immensely weakened, Shadowsan reveals that he was only the decoy.
Hiro goes into the back of the building to find the short Daishō katana, only to get ambushed by Paper Star. They move onto the rooftops, chasing each other. Hiro attempts to escape by using the Grappling Hook, but Paper Star latches on and they both crash into another rooftop. Wasabi, Fred and Honey traps Paper Star, and Hiro returns to Shadowsan, saving him from Dokuso. Dokuso reports to Darkness and asks for more time, but the Dark Princess denies this, reasoning that the swords were not the only way to lure Shadowsan out and cuts the connection. In the temple ground, Paper Star, still freeing herself, screams in rage and frustrated annoyance at the sky. Both the katanas are returned to Matsumodo Castle by Shadowsan, and he deeply apologizes to Hideo and asks for forgiveness. Hideo walks away, not saying a word.

Shadowsan then arrives at the train stop where Hiro and the team are waiting for him, Hiro partially hoping that Shadowsan does not have to show. Looking sadly at each other, Hiro comments in a voice over that he is unsure what is worse: not having the chance to know your family (his parents), or not being able to return to the family you know, but that Shadowsan chose a road, one which he cannot turn back from. The team then leaves Matsumodo, Japan below a sparkling night sky.
