The story is set in the Edo era in Japan. Feng is the maid of a small teahouse. On this day, a group of local bullies came to the teahouse, among which the son of the local official, Ryongjiro, especially deceived others too much. The wind offended Longjiro because of the accident, and in a hurry, an unemployed ronin in the teahouse "no illusion" stepped in to save the wind. On the other hand, the local officials were oppressing the common people, and the wandering samurai "benevolence" drew his sword to help him, killing four "master" bodyguards around the local officials and saving the poor, thus offending the local officials. Then, Wuxiang and Jen met and confronted each other in the teahouse, suddenly a fire trapped them, and the two were arrested. The exasperated magistrate ordered them to be beheaded because their son was killed in the fire. On the day of beheading, the two men made a scene at the execution ground, and with the help of the wind, they escaped from the execution ground. As a price, the wind asked them to look for a samurai who "smelled of sunflowers". From then on, the trio embarked on a fantastic journey. The chaos Samurai, supervised by Noichiro Watanabe, highlights the unique Ukiyo-e painting plus modern Hip-Hop style. This animation was selected as the eighth work recommended by the Media Art Festival Animation Department of the Culture Department of the Ministry of Education of Japan in 2004.
