Nothing comes easy for rabbit ronin Usagi, not even being a spectator at the planned duel between his former teacher, Katsuichi, and Katsuichi's rival, Nakamura Koji. Before the duel even begins, Usagi becomes embroiled in a dispute between Koji and a local fencing school that demands the samurai challenge its master.
