Plot

After succesfully escaping the airport police by pineapple means, Kenjuro Kurogane unsolicitedly moves his son Yaiba into the Mine residence, against the wishes of its owners, Raizo and his daughter, Sayaka Mine. Yaiba takes a stroll through the house and encounters Raizo's mother and Sayaka's grandma, Fuji 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 expectations of him losing this battle seem to come true...
