In Samurai Girls season 1 episode 1, titled "The First Kiss," viewers are introduced to a world where Japan is ruled by clans of female warriors called samurai. The story follows Muneakira Yagyu, a samurai from the Yagyu clan, who arrives in a new school to study alongside other samurai girls.
The episode begins with Muneakira arriving at the Buou Academy, where he announces to the student council president, Yukimura Sanada, that he has been sent by his clan to study. He is immediately thrown into the midst of a conflict between Yukimura and her rival, the student council vice president, Sen Tokugawa. Muneakira is shocked to see that the two girls are not only samurai, but also have animal ears and tails, which he cannot understand.
The conflict between Yukimura and Sen results in damage to the school, prompting Muneakira to use his own samurai powers to repair the building. This impresses the two girls and they decide to co-operate with him. Muneakira's abilities are special, as he can awaken the powers of any samurai girl simply by kissing them.
Muneakira quickly becomes popular among the girls who are eager for him to awaken their powers with a kiss. However, his life takes a dangerous turn when a new samurai girl, Jubei Yagyu, the daughter of his clan's leader, arrives at the school. She is being pursued by enemy clans, and she must be protected at all costs.
The episode ends with Muneakira kissing Jubei, which awakens her samurai powers. The kiss also triggers a reaction in the school, which causes a powerful explosion. As the smoke clears, Jubei appears to be uninjured, and Muneakira is revealed to be her official protector.
Overall, the first episode of Samurai Girls sets the foundation for an action-packed series filled with comedy and romance.
