    Season 1 kicks off right after the brutal massacre of the Hojo clan in Kamakura. Young Tokiyuki is rescued by the enigmatic priest Suwa Yorishige and hidden away in the peaceful region of Suwa. Forced to conceal his royal identity under a pseudonym, he begins forming a tight-knit band of young loyal allies known as the "Elusive Warriors." To prepare for his grand revenge against the usurper Ashikaga Takauji, Tokiyuki must learn to weaponize his incredible, natural talent for fleeing and dodging into a survival strategy in this chaotic era.
