Yatabe, who learned kendo from his father since childhood, accidentally gravely injures him during a training session, leading to his father's death. Thereafter, Yatabe becomes despondent and sinks into a life of indulgence. A gifted high school student, Hatada, by chance, follows the monk and kendo master, Mitsuyoshi, to practice martial arts and is entrusted with a letter to deliver to Yatabe. Seizing the opportunity, Yatabe causes chaos in the kendo club, resulting in a total defeat for the students, including Hatada. Unable to face his father, who has become a vegetable, Yatabe immerses himself in childhood shadows and guilt over his father's unintended death. One thunderstormy night, Hatada challenges Yatabe on his way, admitting that he has been traumatized by nearly drowning and wishes to compete with a senior who suffers similarly in his heart, which leads Yatabe to seriously injure Hatada in a daze. After the death of Yatabe's father, he loses composure at the funeral, and with the master's comfort, reads a letter written by his father to the master, which states that after losing his wife, he was unable to recover, creating a rift with his son, and that he wished for death and hoped his son would kill him, but he also wishes for Mitsuyoshi to cultivate his son. Rejuvenated, Yatabe is finally set to face Hatada in an official match. The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Akutagawa Prize-winning author Shu Fujisawa.
