In the aftermath of Lord Asano's forced seppuku and the total confiscation of the Ako domain, over 300 samurai are abruptly cast out as masterless ronin. But behind their peaceful surrender to the Tokugawa shogunate, a dedicated core of retainers has secretly sworn a blood oath of vengeance.

In this episode, we follow former chief retainer Oishi Yoshio as he orchestrates a brilliant campaign of psychological misdirection, ending with the the meticulously planned, two-hour siege of Kira's heavily fortified Honjo estate.
