In 16th-century Japan, Shinmen Takezou had a reputation for being rough and wild, causing fear and disapproval among the people in his village. Seeking a more meaningful existence, Shinmen and his best friend, Matahachi Honiden, run away from their village and join the Toyotomi army.

The story portrays his transition from a swordsman possessing a singular goal to become "Invincible Under the Heavens" to a disciplined warrior who understands the importance of close relationships, self-reflection, and the value of life.
