Japan, 1568 - Oda Nobunaga's troops march on Kyoto leaving behind a trail of blood in what will be known as the Sengoku Period.
Samurai, warrior monks, outlaws and peasants, caught up in the maelstrom of violence, had no choice but to take up arms and fight, and after every battle, kill or be killed.
At this point, the Shinigami, the God of Death saw his work done for him; men and women delivering the Final Punishment of Death everywhere, yet only a few truly embodied the Slaughter, those whose lust for Vengeance not even hell could kill.
And so the Tournament was born; those souls who died wishing to continue dispensing murder were reunited, and one last chance was granted to them. To win and return to earth once more to continue unleashing the carnage, to become the next Champion of the God of Death.
