[1] Distributed by Toho and Universal Pictures, the film was directed by Saiji Yakumo and written by Yasuko Kobayashi, and was released in Japan on January 18, 2019.

[5] The film follows a group of sword warriors, known as "Touken Danshi", as they attempt to stop an enemy faction known as the Time Retrograde Army from interfering with the Honnō-ji Incident.

A faction known as the Time Retrograde Army (TRA) are staging attacks on the past in order to change the course of history.

The TRA attacks Akechi Mitsuhide's army while Oda Nobunaga retreats to his room to commit seppuku.

The Touken Danshi travel back to the citadel using teleportation devices shaped as spheres with their sword crests imprinted on it.

Uguisumaru greets them along with a new Touken Danshi: Honebami Toushirou, who suffers from amnesia due to being burnt in a fire in the past.

Nihongou eavesdrops on the conversation, but Mikazuki notices his presence and changes the subject, and announces to Uguisumaru that he will be stepping down as the Saniwa’s secretary.

Yamanbagiri and Nihongou trade messages via carrier pigeon, stating Mikazuki’s apparent betrayal and agree to meet up at Azuchi Castle.

Hideyoshi arrives at Azuchi Castle and starts attacking its walls under the guise of chasing out Mitsuhide’s remaining men.

It is revealed that the Saniwa was transferring out due to advanced age and loss of power, which put their citadel at its weakest state.
