But after truly becoming the number one swordsman, he could no longer find his goal, and he had no idea what the end of the sword path was.
One night, Jubei woke up from his sleep and fell into a daze.
Years later, he dreamed of his long-deceased master, Battosai, and remembered what his master had said when he was young, after getting drunk.
