In 1908, Japan is undergoing an enormous process of industrial renovation due the influence of radical western ideals. Technology and politics shift the country's emphasis more and more away from the traditions of the past, with Tokyo being the main center of this radical movement. At the same time, Yamumasa Hirai, an Onmyoji of the Tsuchimikado Family, has been called from Kyoto to Tokyo in order to participate in a secret meeting concerning plans to turn Tokyo into the most commercial and blessed city in all of Japan. Unfortunately, the spirits of the ancient Onmyoji from years past are stirred by all the modernization. There is also a dark curse that hangs over Tokyo left by the spirit of the warlord Taira no Masakado. The two forces culminate together to give life to a spiritual warrior who will take revenge upon those who have forgotten the old traditions of Japan. The result is Yasunori Kato, an evil Onmyoji whose only desire is the complete destruction of Tokyo. Yamumasa Hirai and Kato Yasunori meet, and an enormous spiritual battle is waged between the powers of Light and Dark in the middle of Japan's new capital.
