Three hundred years ago, Yagyuu Juubei fights Kita Retsusai, the leader of the Northern Yagyu that has been eliminated by the Edo Yagyu. In the ensuing battle, Kita Ressai along with Jubei's wife and daughter were swallowed and drowned in the ice. In the present day, Jiyuu Nanohana encounters a strange child holding the Lovely Eyepatch and tries to give it to her. After fleeing away from the child, Jiyu meets a young transfer student named Freesia. She takes Freesia to her home just in time to be attacked by Kita Furo and the Siberian Yagyu. The strange child appears and swiftly sticks the Eyepatch on Jiyu, transforming her into Jubei II. The battle ends in her favor, but then a mysterious swordswoman appears and attacks her.
