Shin Ikki Tousen (真・一騎当千)

Approximately 1800 years ago during the Three Kingdoms era of China.

Heroes lived and died nobly in an attempt to unify the land.

Sacred beads that contain the souls of these

long lost heroes drifted away to the land

of the rising sun spreading throughout the Kanto region.

Within these sacred beads was a great

power capable of enhancing the inheritors abilities to their maximum potential.

The people who would inherit these beads were born in modern times.

Their martial ancestors drawing them towards battle like moths to a flame.

They are known as fighters.

Fighting gloves for punches. Check.

Watermelon for rehydration check. Bananas to keep me going. Check.

No, no. Academy, one of the three big schools where fighters gather.

It's peaceful now. But if I show

any weakness on my first day, I'm screwed.

I taught my sister a string of 29 victories.

It'll be the best debut of transfer students ever had.

I'm ready.

Or maybe I don't need the watermelon. It's so heavy.

People might have been the wrong word.

It's like an active war zone here.

That girl. Oh, hey, are you lost?

I'll help you out. Oh, you know, just looking through the.

Nah.

Holy beefcake. So are you the

one? Huh? Am I? Kick me. Huh?

Kick me now. I don't think that's a good idea.

I've never kicked someone this big before. Oh, come on.

So that's it. You have

not yet inherited your sacred bead. You're not even an erank.

Uh oh. She's a Lincoln. Oh, that

ain't a leak. That's a river.

I'm going to get stuck with a weird nickname after that.

This is no time to wallow in

self-pity. Chuubo. Sonken. Our next leader.

What was that? The next leader? Yes, that was my understanding.

No way. Not after I blew it this early on my first day here.

The same thing happened to Sonsaku on her first day. Huh?

After 29 wins in a row, Gosh,

you defeated her with only one finger.

Then she lost to Ryomo and her own bladder.

She did that. I'm not the only one.

That's such a relief. If my sister

can bounce back from something that embarrassing, then I can too.

I forgot to mention that no one

actually saw Sonsaku wet herself. Huh? Huh.

With that being said, I was unaware she had a little sister.

I'm pretty sure she doesn't know about me either.

It's too complicated to get into now.

I'm certain she will be happy to learn of you.

That's the kind of girl she is.

On that note, where is she right

now? Oh, right. Our leader is.

School day is now over. Ordinary students go home now.

All student council officers and any students

at De rank and above remain at level one alert status.

My sister went missing. A joint group

from Nanyo and Saito Academies went to Kansai.

Their mission was to recover the two sacred beads taken by Himiko.

But apparently Sonsaku found herself separated en route,

and no one has been able to contact her

because so many are out fighting. Desperate

measures had to be taken for the sake of safety

to minimize any problems. A state of

emergency has been declared throughout Kanto.

Even with those precautions, over 20 people

were sent to the hospital today alone.

Good afternoon, Okitsu. We've been waiting for you.

It's because security is pretty tight around here.

So then I guess you're sunken, huh?

Uh, Master Choko said for you to put it on.

Whoa, the old man said. So if I remember,

he said the time was ripe. And this will be my sacred bead.

What's wrong? Go and put it on.

Do I really deserve something like this? Huh?

I'm so weak, frightened, indecisive and dumb.

Don't worry. I believe in the chuubo sonken of today.

Huh? After all, when you look at the you from yesterday,

can't you see your own resilience?

How you were able to bring yourself here today? Huh? Huh?

No way. I feel so strong. That's not how it works.

You don't suddenly gain more power just

because you decided to put on the bead.

Your sacred beads rank will increase with

diligent training and subsequently by engaging in battle. Oh.

Wait is that it is one

of the five hyaku gekito swords that were handed

down to us from the Three Kingdoms era.

But its resonance has grown stronger. Huh.

It seems they've arrived.

Huh? A bit ago,

I received a message from Komei at Saito's private school.

She informed me that Saito's Hyaku Hito was stolen by someone.

She said that Nanyo might be next.

You there? What's your name?

Apologies. It is rude

to ask your name without offering my own name first.

I'm one of Nana's big four. Guxue B-rank.

My favorite things are fruit parfaits and taking down monsters.

Gksu is not picking up his phone.

Okitsu, I need you to take over from here.

I beg your pardon? Are you the person

who attacked Saito High School?

Please answer me. No. If you wish to know my name,

it's good manners to offer your own

Rokuhara High School Second Year Asaemon Yoshitoshi Yamada Special A-rank.

My favorite things are Sacred Beads and Natto Pickles. And.

Okay. Corpses.

Radhika's she gone, huh?

Something truly horrible is here. The enemy must be after the Yukihito.

They're bound to show up in this room sometime.

While I keep them busy here, you

need to take the hyaku chiquito and run as far as you can.

Ha. I feel as light as a feather now.

This is so nice. Wait a second.

Why should I be the one to run?

It's because you're still too new to know your responsibilities as leader.

We fighters are prepared to lay down

our lives, especially for our leader.

Even a temporary one like you. And right now,

we're all desperate to protect the Hyaku Hakuto.

As leader, you need to keep it safe for us.

Understand? That's the kind of leader Sonsaku was.

Do you really need a past tense?

Hey. Took you long enough. You made me impatient.

Do you think you brought enough guys?

One of the 12 divine generals in that,

we're aware, is the Yukuhashi doll. Beats me.

Hachi. It's different from the horrible one I felt earlier.

Could there be more of them? Oh, crap.

I'm all wiped out. I don't think I can run any further.

Rokuhara High School Second Year Asaemon Yoshitoshi Yamada Special A-rank.

You must be the leader here.

I see. Give me that sword before I sever your hand to get it.

Uh. No, this is too much. I

can't be the leader like this.

What are you doing? I don't know.

Are you prepared to die? I don't know.

It's just. My sister would do the

same if she were here instead. Understood. How noble.

It appears I arrived in time.

Saito Private School Second year Shijo Cho UN Special A-rank.

My favorite thing is Pocky. By order of our strategist. Komei Katsutoyo.

I am here. You demonstrate a leader's spirit. I admire that.

Huh? Are you in good health, son? Ken?

Huh? I know you can't do strongest fighter.

Chun. I cannot claim that honor for myself.

The true, strongest fighter is currently away in Kyoto as we speak.

Too weak again. Ha.

Three strokes are still too many for this.

When Musashi did it, it only took her one.

I can learn this, can't I?
