- Bangoro, the son of the judo instructor Shibukawa Hanryuken, saves Jinpachi and his daughter from Kurosaki Tenzen, who is holding them under a false pretext around the precincts of the Kanon Temple in Asakusa. He also punishes Sengo Tayu who has beaten Yotsuguruma in a sumo wrestling match by using a forbidden technique. However, Tenzen spreads false rumors about Bangoro, who is expelled by his judo school for abusing his fighting strength. One day, after Bangoro arbitrates a quarrel between two sumo wrestlers of the second highest rank, he is ordered by the Lord of Arima to kill an enormous spider. Where does this lead Bangoro?
- Yaji-san and Kita-san, tired of traveling, change their plans and go to the Dzenkoji temple, overcoming many obstacles in their path.
- In legend, the old hag of Adachi killed and robbed any travelers's who stopped her hovel; the hag's daughter, desperate to stop her killing, finally disguised herself as a man. The hag smashed her brains out with a stone and then, realising her mistake, hurled herself into the pond and drowned, still clutching her daughter's corpse. Another version of the legend was most famously depicted by ukiyo-e artiest Yoshitoshi in Oshu Adachigahara Hitotsura No Zu ("Picture of the House on Adachi Moor in Oshu"), 1885), a vertical diptych showing a heavily pregnant, bare-breasted young girl suspended high in the by a rope binding her ankles; below her the old hag of Adachi, a cannibal witch, prepares to hack out the girl's unborn foetus with a knife.
- It is a historical drama that follows Katsu Kaishu's efforts to surrender Edo Castle bloodlessly in the first year of the Meiji period.
