Story
Origins
Long ago, two gods with two powerful swords were in constant battle, causing confusion and destruction across the land. The fighting eventually stopped over time; however centuries later, the power of the swords is reawakened by the meeting of two young men...
Flash forward to the present, Yaiba Kurogane, a young boy and self-proclaimed samurai, practices his Wild Beast Dance method in his original residence, the jungle, with his father, Kenjuro. He doubts that this will do anything, but Kenjuro reassures him. He takes on a gorilla, who throws him in the air, but with the help of his pet vulture, Shonosuke, and his pet tiger Kagetora, he successfully defeats it. This causes an entire troop of gorillas to attack in retaliation, forcing Yaiba, Kenjuro and Kagetora to retreat. They hide in a box of bananas, which are closed and are being shipped into the city; Shonosuke follows them.
Yaiba Meets the Mine Family
At the Narita Airport Terminal 1, Sayaka Mine, a middle schooler, greets her father Raizo, who had just won the Asia Kendo Championship. Raizo holds a grudge against Kenjuro, and his ambition is to someday defeat him. Suddenly, Yaiba, attacking all the guards in the airport, encounters Sayaka, and is intrigued by the sight of a girl considering he had never seen one before. Kenjuro and Raizo meet, however to Raizo's dismay, they do not have time to fight as Kenjuro must escape from the guards. They catch a taxi to the Mine residence, and, unsolicited by its owners, Kenjuro moves Yaiba in. Yaiba is overjoyed, amazed by how big and interesting it is. He is stopped by Raizo's mother, Fuji Mine, who is displeased by Yaiba's presence, and Yaiba mistakes her for a baboon.
Battle with Muto
In the residence dojo, the old woman puts Yaiba up against Muto, the strongest in the dojo, and Kenjuro makes a deal: if Yaiba wins, he can stay. Yaiba is convinced Muto is a gorilla, which offends him, and the fight begins. At first, Yaiba makes his moves obvious, which makes Muto stronger than him, but he deceives Muto in order to eventually win the match.
The next morning, Yaiba had woken up early to practice. At breakfast, Yaiba is eager to eat, but Sayaka questions why he has a pet tiger, and Yaiba explains their first encounter. Kenjuro has disappeared, and left a note asking the Mine family to look after Yaiba.
Yaiba vs. Onimaru
Yaiba follows Sayaka, who is going to school, and Sayaka misleads him to think that there are many powerful opponents he can take on, so he swears to protect her. Sayaka goes to kendo practice, and Yaiba, keeping his word, follows her. She goes to change, and following her to the locker room, Yaiba catcalls her, which sets her off; this confuses him, because his father told him girls like it. He touches a shinai, but is stopped by Takeshi Onimaru, a national champion, and is told to put it down. Yaiba challenges him to a duel and initially uses the Wild Beast Dance to distract him. However the shinai is knocked out of his hand. They are introduced to each other, and there, a rivalry between the two had begun.
People
Manga to anime changes
- In the manga, Kagetora did not officially become Yaiba's pet since the start of the storyline. In the anime, he is shown to be pre-acquainted to Kagetora.
- A backstory was added to explain how Yaiba and Kagetora met, with Kagetora unexpectedly helping Yaiba to catch fish in the jungle's river.
- As for Shonosuke, Yaiba's pet vulture, doesn't appear until Chapter 7 of the manga, which is after the events covered in this episode.
- The wooden box Yaiba, Kenjuro, and Kagetora use to hide from the gorillas is filled with pineapples in the manga, but with bananas in the anime.
- The first breakfast Yaiba has at the Mine Residence is expanded in the anime to include the introduction of Yaiba and Kagetora's relationship.
- The manga details in on how Yaiba, Kenjuro, and Kagetora fell out of the shipment box and fought with the airport security squad, while the anime just shows them jumping out of the brawl.
- Yaiba's battle with Sudo, Sayaka's middle school teacher, is completely removed in the anime and instead skips to Yaiba and Sayaka at the school's kendo dojo.
- Yaiba's time at the school dojo is simplified/altered as follows:
- Kumazawa, a top kendoka of the school, is absent from this scene in the anime, along with Kenjuro, Fuji, and Sudo (who is also absent from the previous scene).
- Instead of taking on Kumazawa, Yaiba takes on Onimaru, but they do not engage in as much combat as the manga version has with Yaiba and Kumazawa.
- The "Wild Beast Dance" that was successfully used on Kumazawa in the manga fails with Onimaru in the anime.
- This dance, meant to provoke the opponent, was taught on-the-spot by Kenjuro in the manga. However, the anime shows Yaiba having known this dance since his time in the jungle, using this method to provoke and defeat the gorilla.
Trivia
- In Sayaka's room, there is a poster of Akira Shirazawa's film "Eight Samurai", which refers to Akira Kurosawa's film Seven Samurai.
- The airplane that brings Kenjuro, Yaiba and Kagetora to Japan is from All Nippon Airways.
