The story is set during the age of samurai in Japan and tells the story of a group of criminals selected to serve as doubles for the special police force Shinsengumi. Only one of the original Shinsengumi survives, so the criminals must act as the Shinsengumi to maintain peace and order in feudal Kyoto.


The second PV introduces the show's main themes. The opening theme song is Shine the Brightest! -Bucchigire!- (一番光れ!-ブッチギレ-) by Takanori Nishikawa (T.M.Revolution), while the ending theme song is Convicted Democracy by selfish-being name-less (自象存在name-less).
