10 years passed as the brothers refined their
techniques and honed their senses.
The duel occurred beneath a full moon as cherry
blossoms billowed in the wind.
Not long after, a massive earthquake struck Tokyo,
and a mysterious Golden Palace appeared
in the center of the city.
With the appearance of the palace came the arrival
of a self-proclaimed sorcerer who summoned
hellspawn to wreak havoc upon the city.
Capital members were reported dead, and the city’s
residents became paralyzed with fear.
With the Oboro Clan ravaged and Tokyo on the
verge of collapse, Hotsuma places himself at the
heart of the chaos, determined to reach the
mysterious Golden Palace and avenge
the death of his clan.
Raised together within the Oboro Clan, Hotsuma and
Moritsune were seldom apart during their youth.
Being the younger of the two, Hotsuma looked up to
Moritsune, and considered his older brother a
superior warrior.
Eventually, the Oboro Clan commandment was
revealed to the two boys after they discovered Akujiki,
the sword that would be used in the ritual to decide
the clan’s leader.
The commandment deems that the next clan leader must
be determined by a duel to the death between the eldest
clan heirs---in this case, Moritsune and Hotsuma.
Aware of their destiny, the brothers trained
incessantly, instructed by their foster parent, Kobushi.

The Oboro Clan is a ninja organization
that fights against conflicts as well as
the evils that exploit them.
Hotsuma and Moritsune grew up as
members of the Oboro Clan and were
trained by Kobushi.
A sword kept in the possession of the Oboro
Clan. Akujiki is powered by sorcery. Apart from
its great cutting power, Akujiki is characterized by
taking Yin from defeated enemies into its blade
and converting the Yin into attacking power to
increase the power of the blade. If Akujiki does
not defeat enemies, then Akujiki
will absorb the life and soul of its
wielder. Once the wielder begins using
Akujiki, he must defeat enemies in order to avoid
having his own life and soul devoured by the
sword’s powerful sorcery.
❋ Note that in this game Akujiki turns into a
sword; Soul Eater absorbing soul and life
of its wielder from a certain stage.
In the Shinobi World, Sorcery exists and is classified as a reasoning of the world. The
balance of the universe, its light side and dark side or Yin and Yang, is acquired by the
reasoning of Yin and Yang. If the balance of either side of this universe is destroyed, the
balance of the other side changes as well. Humans exist in the light side of the universe,
whereas specters exist in the dark side. The reasoning of Yin and Yang can be decrypted
by perceiving energy through flows of weather, the spirit of the earth and Yin and Yang.
Kekkai Fu
Distorts space to seal off

ATalisman is a tool
used by Sorcerers
that allows them to

balance between

A talented Sorcerer may also act as a prophet, foreseeing the future much like a fortune
teller. Sorcerers that have achieved ultimate power have the ability to distort the reasoning
A ghost created by a Talisman in a distorted space. Although Hellspawn usually exist in the
dark side of the universe, a Sorcerer can recall them from the dark side using powerful magic.
Hellspawns can only be defeated by absorbing their souls using the curse of Akujiki’s blade.
