Official synopsis
A sombra de um homem nunca consegue se levantar e andar sozinha
Shingen, um poderoso Senhor da Guerra seriamente ferido, ordena seu clã que encontre um sósia para o substituir caso faleça - para manter a sua morte em segredo, evitando assim o ataque dos seus inimigos. Um pequeno delinquente é escolhido então para ser o impostor. Quando Shingen morre, seus generais concordam, com relutância, que o impostor assuma o papel do poderoso governante. Ele logo começa a apreciar a vida como Shingen, mas seu compromisso com o papel é testado quando ele precisa liderar suas tropas na batalha contra as forças de um senhor da guerra rival.
