Matsudaira Desunoshin is a ronin who has a crush on Omitsu, a young girl working at an eating-place called ”Otafuku”. With his detective friend, Heihachi, he frequents the diner, but Omitsh remains totally unaware of his feelings; first, because he is she-despite his wild looks and second, because of a language barrier.. Desunoshin is pitiful, but he becomes a hero, the Metal Samurai when he is needed. Omitsu is in danger of being violated by Obugyo and Echigoya,but shijuhatte,the 48 heavy metal moves, save her in the end. Omitsu fancies the Metal Samurai, but doesn’t know who he really is.
