In "Sengoku Youko - Episode 1," set in the year 1564 during the Eiroku period, the story begins with Shinsuke Hyoudou, a young warrior on a pilgrimage, witnessing a confrontation between a group of bandits and two travelers, Tama and Jinka. Tama, a fox spirit (youko), and Jinka, an ascetic sage (sendou), quickly defeat the bandits using their unique abilities.
Shinsuke, fascinated by their powers, follows Tama and Jinka in hopes of learning more about their techniques. After revealing his presence, he offers to lead them to the leader of the Onikabuto group in exchange for information about themselves. Reluctantly, Tama and Jinka agree and reveal themselves as a youko and a sendou, respectively.
They arrive at the hideout of the Onikabuto group, where Tama attempts to reason with the group's leader, urging them to abandon their criminal activities. Her plea is rejected, and a battle ensues. Despite his initial fear, Shinsuke manages to expose the leader's true form—a katawara, a spectral creature—by shattering its helmet with a sword strike.
Jinka transforms into a powerful spirit form and defeats the katawara, while Tama expresses their mission to reform the world by purging it of evil. Inspired by their strength and determination, Shinsuke considers joining them on their quest.
Meanwhile, a group of warrior monks from the Dangaisyuu, known for combating demons and katawara, appears. They are searching for Shakugan, a notorious katawara. The episode ends with Shinsuke deciding to join Tama and Jinka, drawn by the possibility of becoming strong enough to defeat any foe and venturing into a world of darkness and challenges.
