About the Game History

Japan has been tormented and devastated by Onis for centuries. Even when an Oni rarely died, its soul soon returned to another body and the eternal cycle of death and destruction continued. In desperation, the people prayed to the Gods to give them a way out, and hearing the people's lament, they grew a sacred tree that was capable of sealing the souls of the Onis inside, preventing their rebirth. This tree was called Onikura. Thousands of warriors, swordsmen and samurai from all over Japan set out to kill the Oni and bring their souls to the great Tree to seal them forever, however, none of them returned. Decades have passed and the last Swordsman alive is the leader of a small village where his wife is about to give birth. Seeing the imminent end of all of Japan as the last option, he offered his life to the Gods in exchange for a blessing for his son who would come so that he could end this era of pain and suffering. The gods granted his request, and his son Tensai was born strong and healthy with incredible abilities and a spiritual connection to the Tree and the Gods. He was a complete prodigy. Now, Tensai has come of age and is ready to fulfill the role he was assigned, killing and sealing the soul of each of the remaining Oni and finishing it once and for all, until he reaches the Oni God.
