Synopsis

Following a brutal assault by an imperialist criminal gang known as the Masked Demons, Shinsengumi's Eighth Division, the law-enforcing squad in Kyoto loyal to the shogunate, is nearly wiped out, with its sole survivor, Heisuke Toudou, critically injured. Urged to rebuild the Shinsengumi by the local feudal lord, Katamori Matsudaira, Toudou offers eight convicts the chance to redeem themselves by becoming substitutes for the eight Shinsengumi captains. All accept except one, who is immediately executed by the former assassin Sakuya. However, Toudou struggles to transform the seven reformed criminals into loyal servants. Due to his lack of discipline, the impulsive and vengeful Ichibanboshi, whose family was killed by the Masked Demons, threatens the success of Toudou's strategy. As Toudou pledges to protect the shogunate against imperialists and foreign invaders, other factions, such as Kogorou Katsura's group, start to put their plans in motion, aiming to seize power at the dusk of the Edo period.
