The Samurai Kids journey to China to fulfil a promise Sensei Ki-Yaga made many years ago. Long before Sensei Ki-Yaga built the Cockroach Ryu he travelled to China and studied at the Shalin Temple in the north-western Song Shan Mountains of China. Sensei promised to return to help the abbot in the Temples time of need. Telling the Samurai Kids that the abbott has a treasure in need of safekeeping they set off on a journey to China.
