Manipulated by magical fate, seven souls of nobody, born at a historical turning point, start their fight now.
Time is 1590(Tensho 18 in the Japanese era), 8 years after the demise of warlord Nobunaga ODA.
Japan was about to be unified by the hands of Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI, except for one region, which is Kanto.
There was a wicked man in a mask who named himself TenmaOh and leads the KANTO DOKURO-TO, an armed group hiding in the DOKURO-JO (skull castle).
In the Kanto Plain, which was under their rule, people were congregating as if they were manipulated by magical fate.
*”AKA-DOKURO” literally means “Red Skull”. It is the nickname of the Ver. RED.
