The time is the 64th year of the Meiji era.
The stage is another Japan where Tokugawa Yoshinobu continues to maintain absolute power. The nation developed its own energy source, the “dragon vein”, and achieved a unique development in which science and the Edo period blend. However, behind such a beautiful city, the Kuchinawa dissident organization, which burns the flames of revolution and seeks to overthrow the government, moves. “Nue”, the Tokugawa government's shadowy organization, was tasked with the extermination. Sakiha Yukimura, whose family was killed when she was young, became the executioner of “Nue” and continued to search for her snake eyes.
