Overview of Tenkaichi: The Greatest Warrior Under the Rising Sun
Tenkaichi: The Greatest Warrior Under the Rising Sun is a historical action manga set against the backdrop of Japan in 1600. Following a decade of Oda Nobunaga’s unification of Japan, his declining health urges him to select a successor. Rather than entrusting power to his sons or loyal followers, Nobunaga devises a challenge that will identify the country’s strongest warrior.
This unorthodox approach sets off a fierce competition among Nobunaga’s generals, who are eager to prove their strength and claim the title of king. In an effort to seize the opportunity, they send forth their most formidable warriors to participate in a brutal tournament designed to determine Japan’s next ruler. The stakes are high, and the battles promise to deliver action that captivates audiences.
