Onikiri
This is a story where Tsuna Watanabe, known for his valiance as the head of the big four who served Yorimitsu Minamoto of Seiwa Genji Chaku, goes on a hunt for an Oni (an ogre) to the Rajoumon with a noted sword of Genji Jyudai. With it, he battles with the “Onikiri” evil named Ibaraki Douji, where he finally cuts off the evil’s arm, and becomes widely known to the world.

The first session illustrates the scene where the big four repels the band of thieves who came seeking for the noted Genji sword. Then later at a feast, Ttsuna and Yasumasa Fujiwara quarrels over the existance of an Oni (ogre) in the Rajomon. The second session shows Tsuna’s valiance as he goes on an ogre hunt single-handed, and the rough-and-tumble battle scene with the Onikiri and Onitsue (an evil incarnate of an Oni staff). The powerful musical performance and the impact of the fighting scene highlights the climax. *Noted sword of Genji=Originally named the “Hige-kiri” but later renamed as “Onikiri” after Tsuna Watanabe’s story about his slashing the Oni.
It is a sacred sword of Genji Judai ordered to be crafted by Mitsunaka Minamoto (Yorimitsu’s father) and is passed down to Yoritomo Minamoto, the founder of the Kamakura Shogunate, along with it’s sibling sword “Hijimaru”.
