Kyoto, 995 AD. Following a secret meeting between Fujiwara no Michinaga and Abe no Seimei, Minamoto no Raiko and his men are ordered to slay the demon Shuten-doji of Mt. Oe. However, they are blocked by enemies unlike anything they have ever seen. These are the "Time Retrograde Army," sent by "Historical Revisionists" seeking to alter history. Saving them from this crisis are the "Touken Danshi," warriors fighting to protect history, including Mikazuki Munechika. Yet, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, who had entered the demon's lair ahead of them, is struck by Shuten-doji's final curse and vanishes in a flash of light. Tokyo, 2012 AD.
