The book, recalling the essence of the great Greek legends, comes from the Japanese counterpart Kojiki, a record of ancient Japanese mythology. Tenkensai revolves around a terrifying beast deity that appears in the ancient volume. The beast, known as the Yamata-no-orochi, is a monster that must eat and kill the beautiful princess Kushinada, a heroin who is dramatically rescued by the heroic god Susano Onomikoto. In Japan, even to this day, it is not too unusual to believe that such a bizarre snake like deity really exists that possesses strange mystical powers.
