In the Sengoku period.
With every country vying to create their own hegemony fierce battles can be found everywhere, society is in disarray. In the middle of all this is a Shuten-douji, Shiki, the ruler of the Oni, and a young Karasu Tengu, Tsubasa, who accompanies him; the two find a baby who turns out to also be an Oni. Over time the baby, whom they named Soshi, became a strong and handsome Oni. Soshi decides he wants to train in martial arts along with his adoptive big brother, Tsubasa, and his Inugami friend, Kensuke; even though they practice every day, they still look like amateurs next to Shiki. Soshi begins to resent Shiki. "Power isn't all there is to being strong. You need to see how vast the world is".
