Toushinden
Battle Arena Toshinden, 闘神伝, Toshinden
For one year, Master Swordsman Eiji Shinjo has been tormented by memories of his confrontation with Gaia, a renegade champion whose battle with him was cut short by the malevolent syndicate known as "the organization." Despite being denied victory and mocked by his opponents, Eiji left the tournament in search of his long-lost brother, Sho. However, a mysterious warrior has emerged who is using the moves of previous champions against them, raising suspicions that he may be Sho. Eiji and Kayin, his closest friend and greatest rival, are working together to solve this mystery before they become victims themselves. The answer lies at the heart of the Organization and its plans for world domination. The ultimate battle between the greatest fighters in the world is about to take place, but if Eiji loses, his friends Ellis may die.
