[[Yaiba Kurogane]] is a young boy living in an unnamed jungle, together with his father [[Kenjuro Kurogane|Kenjuro]], who instructs him about things like survival training and martial arts - especially Kendo. One day they kill and eat a Gorilla, with a [[Kagetora|tiger]] trying to steal a bit of the grilled goods, but the Gorilla's next of kin try to retaliate - so Yaiba, his father and the tiger have to flee. They hide in a wooden box, which unfortunately gets closed that very moment and loaded onto a plane to be sent to [[Narita Airport]] near [[Tokyo]].
 +
 +
After their arrival, Kenjuro meets an old rival of his, [[Raizo Mine]], and his daughter, [[Sayaka Mine|Sayaka]] - who completely fascinates Yaiba, never having seen a girl before. But they are still on the run: Kenjuro grabs Raizo, Sayaka, his son and the tiger to flee again - this time from the airport police - and dumps this group in a taxi, asking the driver to bring them to the [[Mine residence]]...

After succesfully escaping the airport police by pineapple means, [[Kenjuro Kurogane]] unsolicitedly moves [[Yaiba Kurogane|his son]] into the [[Mine residence]], against the wishes of its owners, [[Raizo Mine|Raizo]] and his daughter, [[Sayaka Mine]]. Yaiba takes a stroll through the house and encounters [[Grandma Mine]], who he thinks is an underfed baboon. Fed up with ''him'', she takes him into the Dojo of the house and, after learning about him being Kenjuro's son, offers a challenge: If Yaiba can beat [[Mutou]], the strongest fighter in the Mine Dojo, Yaiba can stay in their house. And at first, her expectation of him losing this battle seems to come true...

He goes to the [[Mine residence]], while Yaiba is on his way to the [[Onimaru residence]] himself, so both miss each other.

When Takeshi notices what Yaiba's vulture did to his doves and Yaiba sees what Takeshi did to his [[Kagetora|tiger]], both angrily turn back ''again'', this time meeting each other on a pedestrian bridge...

    Narita Airport

    The airport Yaiba, his father Kenjuro Kurogane and their pet tiger Kategora arrive at is the real Narita International Airport on the border between the towns of Narita and Shibayama in the Chiba Prefecture, which is part of the Greater Tokyo Area. It was the biggest and most important airport serving Tokyo back then, before it was replaced in this function by Haneda Airport. They would also have to arrive in what is Terminal 1 nowadays, since Terminal 2 and 3 opened in 1992 and 2015 respectively, long after the release of this chapter.

    Yaiba's jungle

    The unnamed jungle Yaiba Kurogane and his father live in seems to be (intentionally) highly ambigious about what jungle or even on which continent it could remotely be. Besides the rather generous surroundings, animals like Gorillas (from Sub-Saharan Africa), Tigers (having their habitat in continental Asia) and Jaguars (who usually live in Central and South America) seem to have their habitat there.
