"Drifters" is an anime series that blends historical figures with fantasy and action, set in a world where warriors from different eras are transported after their deaths. The story begins with Toyohisa Shimazu, a samurai from the early 17th century, who is mortally wounded at the Battle of Sekigahara. As he succumbs to his injuries, he finds himself in a mysterious corridor leading to another world. There, he encounters other historical figures, including Oda Nobunaga, the infamous Japanese warlord, and Nasu no Yoichi, a skilled archer from the Genpei War. These individuals, known as "Drifters," are brought to this new realm by a mysterious force.

The world they arrive in is populated by various races, including humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs, all of whom are oppressed by the "Ends," a group of Drifters who have aligned themselves with the ruling empire. The Ends, led by the ruthless Black King, seek to maintain their dominance over the land. Toyohisa, Nobunaga, and Yoichi quickly form an alliance with the oppressed races, aiming to overthrow the empire and bring freedom to the world.
