Tenkaichi Manga: Basic plot, important characters and more
Tenkaichi: The Greatest Warrior under the Rising Sun is set in the Sengoku period of Japan. The story starts with Oda Nobunaga, one of the most robust warlords of Japan who unified the whole nation.
He decides that a larger-than-life martial art tournament will decide who is going to be the ruler of Japan. All the warlords were asked to send one of their greatest warriors to represent them. Now, the people will get to see some of the most fierce warriors locking horns in a match that can even make them kiss death.
