Plot

In the year 1863, Japan is split between the warring pro-shogunate and anti-shogunate factions. Izuminokami Kanesada is a Tōken danshi (刀剣男士?, lit. "Sword Warrior"), which is a tsukumogami of a historical Japanese blade brought to life by the Saniwa (審神者?). With new recruit Horikawa Kunihiro, they chase after the Jikan sokōgun (時間遡行軍?, lit. "Time Retrograde Army") to reclaim a mysterious cargo capable of changing history. Joined by Tonbokiri, Yagen Toushirou, Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga, the Second Unit fights to maintain the rightful course of time.
