Synopsis
of Tenkaichi: The Greatest Warrior Under the Rising Sun
This
isn't history as we know it. The year is 1600. Ten years have passed since Oda
Nobunaga unified all of Japan. When Nobunaga realizes his life is nearing its
end, he announces that he will hand over the reins of power to whoever brings
him the strongest warrior. The generals, whose dreams of conquering the country
had been crushed, field their own strongest warriors and aim to become the
kings of the country. The first bout is the unbeatable spear wielder Honda
Tadakatsu (sponsored by Tokugawa Ieyasu) against the evolving prodigy Miyamoto
Musashi (sponsored by Chosokabe Motochika)!!
