Oedo Fire Slayer -The Legend of Phoenix- - S01

The fire-fighting samurai who stopped the great fire was known as "The Fire-eating Bird". Matsunaga Gengo, once called the "Fire-eating Bird", was the finest fire-fighting samurai in Edo. He had left the fire brigade for a reason, but one day he received an unexpected invitation to serve the Shinjo clan. The Shinjo clan's fire-fighting team had no money and no men, and was looked down on by everyone around them. With encouragement from his wife, Miyuki, Gengo decides to rebuild the collapsed fire-fighting clan as its chairman. Gengo and his friends, each with their own quirks, struggle to "save any life", even as people mock them as "ragged steeplejacks" (the "Boro-Tobi-Gumi"). Meanwhile, in Edo, a mysterious string of suspicious fires called "foxfires" keeps happening.
