Game Story
The First Scenario---Jiatenkourin no Sho(Amakusa's Scenario)
This scenario is about the evil Amakusa Shirou Tokisada who is
trying to conquer Japan. As you know, you can choose one from six characters
as your main character. For this scenario, every main character starts off
differently from the others. That means, a different main character
holds a different purpose to defeat Amakusa. Therefore, the story lines may vary
depending on who you choose.
Haohmaru
Haohmaru starts off in Nicotine's training room(Nicotine is the master of
Haohmaru and Genjuro).
Amakusa comes to 'visit' Haohmaru and ask him to join the evil dark forces. Haohmaru refuses.
Genjuro hears everything they say and he is pissed off
that Amakusa doesn't even ask him to join him. Then, he challenges Haohmaru. Haohmaru
loses to Genjuro. Later, Haohmaru begins his journey to
defeat the evil Amakusa.
Kibagami Genjuro
Genjuro's beginning is almost the same as above(Haohmaru's).
But for Genjuro's version, he fights Amakusa instead of Haohmaru. Of course,
he loses to Amakusa. He is pissed off and he begins his journey to defeat
Amakusa.
Nakoruru
Nakoruru starts off in her home village. Nakoruru and
her sister, Rimururu are worry about their father who hasn't come back yet.
Nakoruru goes off to search for her father, after she receives her father's
sword from her hawk, Mamaha. She finds her father and he tells her that
the growing evil force might endanger nature. He tells her that she
must go to Edo to find Jubei.
Tachibana Ukyo
Ukyo comes to ask the old wise man about the "ultimate flower".
After the old man is touched by Ukyo's determination to search for the flower, he then
tells him that he can only find the flower at the gate of devil's place. The old man
asks him to go find Jubei for assistance. Ukyo then begins his journey.
Galford
Galford and Earthquake are going to learn more techniques from
Hanzo. But suddenly, Amakusa comes and takes away Shinzo(Hanzo's son)'s body. Amakusa
wants to use his body as the host. Hanzo can't stand a chance with him. After Amakusa
is gone, Hanzo rushes to find him. The righteous Galford also begins his journey to
defeat Amakusa.
Cham Cham
Tam Tam has always been the protector of his village.
But one day, Amakusa comes to 'visit' and takes away the Parenke Stone.
Because Tam Tam is not able to protect the Parenke Stone, the god of that stone
punish him and turns him to a monkey. Cham Cham then realizes that she has to get it
back. So, she begins her journey with the monkey, Paku Paku(Tam Tam) to search for
Amakusa and get the Parenke Stone back from him.
The Second Scenario---Youkadoukoku no Sho(Mizuki's Scenario)
For this scenario, it doesn't matter who you choose
as your main character, you'll get the same beginning. Nicotine Caffein
realize that the hell's sorcerer Mizuki Rahoujin is resurrected. In order
to stop Mizuki from turning this world to hell, Nicotine has asked you(the main character)
to prevent this from happening. You start off with yourself(main character) and other Samurai
you choose. Later,
this person named Reon will join your party. From what we know, she is trained to
defeat Mizuki.
