The era of Japan’s civilized aristocrats has come to a violent

end. On the horizon is an era of warriors, where force of
arms will be the nation’s supreme power.
The Heishi clan, led by Kiyomori Taira, has defeated the
army of Minamoto Yoritomo and put an end to the Heishi
Rebellion. It is now clear that Heishi is the strongest of the
samurai clans.
Taira’s victory was not due to the force of arms alone, but
with the aid of warriors who wore divine stones. Each stone
glowed with a mysterious inner light…
A
Amahagane are mystical jewels bestowed upon the
people by Shukenten, the god of smithery. These stones
bring their owners a godlike power called Kamui. It is
said that when a good person uses one, it brings forth the
power of a god, but when an evil person uses one, it brings
forth the power of evil. Many of the Amahagane have fallen
into the hands of the Heishi.
K
Kamui is a special feat that uses the power of Amahagane.
A Kamui maneuver summons a magical space in which you can
avoid enemy attacks while simultaneously executing a devastating
attack of your own. There are some attacks that cannot be
avoided using Kamui.

A young swordsman who is only
sixteen years old and the son of
Yoshitomo Minamoto, the late
leader of the Minamoto clan who
fell during the Heishi Rebellion.
However, Yoshitsune never knew
this. Instead, he came of age after
a lonely childhood at the
remote, sacred mountain
shrine Mt. Kurama.
A great destiny awaits Yoshitsune.
Yoshitsune wields a katana in
either hand, and overwhelms his
enemies with superhuman speed and
agility. Using graceful, dance-like
motions, he swiftly combines his
attacks into long, devastating chains
that overwhelm his enemies.

Benkei uses his superhuman strength
to pulverize his enemies with a giant

the day when the Minamoto clan might return to power.
The Amahagane bring Yoshitsune and Benkei together through a great
duel. Although Benkei loses to Yoshitsune, in doing so he realizes
his life’s true purpose. He swears to protect the young
Minamoto, and fight by his side
as a brother in arms.
Benkei has the ability to attack with either his war
club or his fauchard, and may switch freely between
the two in combat. His club performs powerful
crushing blows by charging energy, while the
fauchard sweeps enemies away with broad swings.

– He is the single most powerful warrior of the
Heishi. His power is rumored to exceed even that of Kiyomori
Taira. Kagekiyo rarely shows emotion and executes his orders in
a calm and ruthless manner. With Amahagane in hand, he
possesses the power of a thousand men in battle. He was on the
front lines during the Heishi Rebellion and his prowess played a
great role in the Taira victory. Kagekiyo wields a special weapon
that combines two blades in a single pommel, and with it he
tirelessly hunts down Yoshitsune.
– Known as the “Priestess of the Tamayori”,
she is the only person who can use the magical power
“Yosegane” rite to enhance the power of the Amahagane. She is
targeted by the Heishi, who wish to take advantage of Yosegane.
To evade them, she fled far from civilization and now lives quietly
in hiding with Kiichi Hogen.

the Heishi Rebellion, and now governs Japan according to the
whims of the Heishi. Not satisfied with his victory, he wishes to
become sole master of the Amahagane and spread his power
even farther. He also seeks the priestess Gozen Shizuka, the only
one who can use the secret Yosegane magic.
– He is the chief of the Tamayori clan, who are
charged with guarding the Amahagane. It is the duty of this clan
to see that they are not used for evil purposes. Kiichi Hogen is a
master Buddhist mystic, and has enchanted Shizuka’s hiding
place to help hide her. He is the one who asks Yoshitsune to
help the Tamayori retrieve the Amahagane that have fallen into
hoping to one day become a full-fledged Tamayoribito.
Although she has not yet developed special powers like
Shizuka, she is still a bright young girl who is well liked by
all the townspeople. She often carries rumors and information
