Shin Ikki Tousen

Synopsis

Continues the story of Ikkitousen: Western Wolves

The combatants from the Kanto region have deduced that their previously unidentified assailants come from Nara and are tied to the Yamato School and its dangerous leader, Himiko. With leaders Hakufu Sonsaku and Moutoku Sousou already robbed of their Magatama jewels by the attackers, only Gentoku Ryuubi remains as the sole fully operational leader. To maintain sufficient fighting capability, the fighters of Nanyo, Kyosho, and Seito combine forces for the counterattack. Although they anticipate falling into a carefully laid trap, they ultimately have no choice, and even Hakufu wishes to take part. However, Hakufu is left behind at one of the stations along the way to Nara.

In this installment

Himiko, the reincarnated queen of ancient Yamatai, launches a war against all magatama users in Kanto to recover her former domain. She seeks to collect the genuine Three Sacred Treasures of Japan. When Himiko's associate Asaemon Yamada attacks Nanyou Academy to steal the sacred sword, Chuubou Sonken—recently revealed as Hakufu Sonsaku's sister—awakens her dragon form but then collapses. To rescue her sibling, Hakufu must retrieve her own magatama from the historic Jofuku Temple, where she faces potentially lethal training. As the boundary between the living and the dead blurs at Jofuku, the Kanto fighters must unite to thwart Himiko's mysterious plans.
