Description:

In the captivating samurai drama Oyari Haishaku - Yoidore Kotoji Tomegaki, Akame Kotoji (Takenaka Naoto) is a low-ranking, shabby stableman serving Narushima Michihisa, the feudal lord of the impoverished Kuju domain. After losing his position for missing his lord's departure from Edo due to a heavy drinking contest, Akame becomes a wandering samurai. However, he harbors a hidden scheme. Akame begins a daring campaign of stealing the prestigious lances, the ultimate symbols of feudal authority, from passing lordly processions without spilling a single drop of blood. Among his targets are the Wako domain, served by fencing instructor Furuta Jusaburo (Fujiki Naohito), and the Fuki domain, where vassal Murase Jidayu (Takahashi Hideki) suspects a grudge against the Narushima family. To protect their honor, Furuta and Murase form an alliance between the Wako, Fuki, and Ushizu domains to hunt down the elusive thief. What is Akame's true motive behind these high-stakes thefts?
