Yaiba Anime Plot
Kurogane Yaiba is the super-talented main character whose sword skills are no joke. He polishes his expertise by training hard with his father in the middle of the jungle. Well, we all know there’s no fun when you don’t have a rival to challenge your abilities. So, Yaiba’s life takes a drastic turn when he moves to Japan and crosses paths with Takeshi Onimaru. The hero’s rival is equally enthusiastic about swordsmanship. Onimaru getting “The legendary Demon Sword” adds more spice to the story.
