A warlord named Gaoh is trying to overthrow the Tokugawa government and create his own dominion in Japan. He struck a deal with this demon named Ankikou, who created Suija and Enja.

Here are the characters' individual storylines:

- Haohmaru: Stilll looking for a good opponent.
- Genjuro: Was hired by a mysterious dude (really Sankuro) to kill Gaoh.
- Nakoruru supposedly isn't really in the game, Rera does her shit for her. (Although, in the game, she looks for her father, who was killed by Suija...or Enja...I forget)
- Rera: Angry half of Nakoruru who wants to calm nature by killing demons. (And look for her dad, too...)
- Rimururu: Looking for Nakoruru.
- Jubei, Hanzo: Trying to put down Gaoh's Rebelllion.
- Yoshitora: The successor to the Tokugawa government, trying to regain his birthright and defeat Gaoh.
- Yunfei: 1000 years ago, he was sealed by his students when he tried to gain malevolent power through Ankikou. He re-awakens, and tries to redeem himself by killing Gaoh, thus destroying Ankikou. (He killed his wife in a fit of madness also, and wants to redeem himself from this, too.)
- Mina: The village she lived in was destroyed while she was out killing demons, and she thinks Gaoh had something to do with it. (He didn't, it was actually Champuru!)
- Kusaregedou: Is chasing Rimururu, wanting to eat her.
- Tam Tam, Charlotte: leave their hopmelands to investigate the malevolent energy coming from Japan. (The Tam-Tam in this game is not the one from SS1/SS4; it's a different one, for he gets killed in the end.)
- Galford: Also senses the evil from Japan, fights for teh justice.
- Kyoshiro: Senses the sadness from the oppressed people under Gaoh, so he wants to dance (kill people) for them to cheer them up.
- Gaira: Feels he isn't a very good monk, so he tries to seal Ankikou, who he senses very clearly.
- Sogetsu, Kazuki: Are sent by their dad to seal away Ankikou, and do this by travelling with Hazuki, who can seal him properly. (Actually, I read that Enja is Kazuki's "biological" dad and Suija is Sogetsu's dad, really. They were adopted by their ninja dad in the game. The forms of Enja and Suija we see here are Kazuki and Sogetsu possessed by them through their weapons)
- Rasetsumaru: A mad, killing-crazy demon sent from Makai (?), the realm opened up by Amakusa. He looks like Haohmaru just by coincidence. (Really just Bust Haohmaru to us, but a separate entity in the story.) So, he wants to kill Haohmaru...for looking like him...
- Basara: Through Ankikou's rebirth, he was also brought back up, and is lead by Kagaribi (who is actually really bad) to Gaoh.
- Shizumaru: He is being cared by Kusaregedou's daughter, um...Hakana? and her husband. Her husband leaves to fight Gaoh and Hakana leaves to look for Kusaregedou, which she doesn't know has alreday turned into a demon. Shizu goes to make sure everything goes well with both of them, even though it ends up not being so, for Hakana is eaten by her father, and her husband is killed.
- Ukyo: Is staying with Yumeji's mother (the wife of Ukyo's mentor, which explains why Yumeji is so much like him). Yumeji's been gone for three years, and Ukyo's been sent to look for her.

and for the bosses:
- Yumeji: The daughter of Ukyo's mentor, she roams around Japan, looking for somehting worthwhile, and Gaoh's cause sems the most interesting to her. So she joins to piss us off.
- Sankuro: A mercenary of Gaoh's who really wants to gain power of Japan hoimself. (See Genjuro)
- Gaoh: Already explained him...

That's all.

If I remember correctly, Suija and Enja are evil spirits that can hold the shape of any object. They begin as random Kazama ninjas, but then later take the shape of Sogetsu and Kazuki's swords, turning them into the characters we see in SSV. Um...I think. Not sure.
