It was 12,000 years ago when a group of deities known as "The Eight Guardian Generals" fought to protect civilization in the kingdom of Shinkoku from a deadly and destructive force, known as Gohma. During the victory celebration, the emperor was assassinated and Asura was at the center of the blame. While caught up in the commotion, Asura's wife was killed and his daughter was kidnapped. His own brother-in-law and rival, Yasha, has turned against him, and Asura has been banished from Shinkoku. Now, after being awoken by a voice, he sets out on a journey to set right what once went wrong. Those who have betrayed him will now face Asura's Wrath.
