Episode 1
Air Date: February 19, 2021

The Cosmo Samurai lie dead aboard an exploding ship when the Akutou leader, Jaaku, descends upon TOM's lifeless body. Then SARA and a robot, that she calls TOM, crash land in the desert of an unknown planet. The robot then uses the gravitational energy in its body to create an incredibly powerful gravitational field that leaves a giant hole in the desert. Back aboard the Cosmo, Hakase emerges from a stasis pod and explains to a virtual TOM that when they first met Hakase created a backup of his A.I. matrix and that is how TOM is still alive. Hakase also tells TOM that Jaaku has taken over his former body.

Episode 2
Air Date: February 26, 2021

In a grassy field TOM is surprised to find Tsuruhime alive. However, she explains that they are in a virtual space and like him she is also a clone that has been implanted with her memories by Hakase. As TOM, Tsuruhime, and Hakase discuss the Cosmo Samurai's history of cloning themselves. Hakase reveals that this will be Tsuruhime's 87th time being cloned. Then Tsuruhime shows TOM a scene from TOM's past where he killed the shogun of Edo, the father of Tsuruhime. However, she doesn't blame TOM as his body was under the control of Jaaku.

She then explains the history of the Cosmo Samurai and their war with Jaaku that dwindled their numbers down to just three: Tsuruhime, Awaji and Yasuke. As the three were on their last legs she reveals that SARA, who was flung back to their time by Jaaku, found a physicist (Hakase) that could clone the Cosmo Samurai. In return for saving them she asked that they help her find TOM. Hakase then reveals to TOM that he agreed to help because he created TOM and it was his invention that led to Jaaku being able to travel back in time and kill the shogun.
