On New Year's Eve, after Yamatonokami Yasusada leaves the citadel, the Sword Warriors plan to celebrate the new year like humans do. They are joined by new swords Higekiri and Hizamaru from the Minamoto clan.

Mikazuki and Kogitsunemaru are relaxing and drinking tea when Gokotai's tigers pay a visit, and newly-arrived Taikogane Sadamune teams up with Shokudaikiri and Ookurikara in the sports festival planned by Tsurumaru.
