Opening Narration[]
"Long ago, nine ships appeared in Uraga Bay. These ships, which would later be known as the "Black Ships," carried foreign emissaries who demanded that the shogunate open Japan to trade. When the shogunate refused their unreasonable demands, they began an indiscriminate attack on the port with their massive cannons. Then, an Onigami rose to meet them. Its name was Takemikazuchi. It was piloted by a young man who had not even gone through the rite of adulthood. He and Takemikazuchi destroyed the Black Ships in a single strike, and peace returned to Edo. That was 21 years ago."
