Sengoku Basara
Synopsis: In the Sengoku period, the struggle for power and unification brought an endless blood spill to the unstable Japan. Of all the generals at war, Nobunaga Oda - the "Owari Demon King" - established himself as the strongest ruler. Friend or enemy, he is determined to crush anyone who has his way of creating a tyrannical central government.
The only two who dare rebels against Oda are the meeting of "Dragon of one eye of Oshu", and the distinct but warm warrior of the taken clan, Yukimura Sanada. Although they share the goal of preventing Oda from unifying domains, Masamune and Yukimura cannot see the eye. Equally skilled in combat, mutual admiration for each other causes these two warriors to vie for forging a fierce rivalry, preventing any attempt from forming a united front against Owari's demon king.
With Oda's forces approaching their respective territories, Masamune and Yukimura are reluctantly learning to set aside their differences and fight together against the threatening usurper.
