Three hundred years ago, the Thunder God Taishakuten rebelled against the heavens, killing the Celestial Emperor and the War God Ashura-ou. With the help of Ashura-ou's wife, Shashi, Taishakuten seized the imperial throne and began a reign of tyranny. However, a prophecy foretold: "Six stars will purge the land. You are the dark star that will defy the heavens. Your journey begins when you find a child left behind by a fallen race. I do not know if this child is good or evil, I only know this child can turn the wheel of heaven's destiny..." Guided by this prophecy, the Northern War God Yasha-ou awakened Ashura, the son of Ashura-ou who had been slumbering for three hundred years. Believing the prophecy meant the Six Stars would overthrow Taishakuten's rule, Yasha-ou and Ashura began their search for these six stars. Along their journey, a mysterious figure named Kujaku occasionally provided them aid... When the Six Stars finally gathered, Ashura's dark nature manifested. He not only killed his mother, Shashi, but also plucked the jewel from her forehead, breaking the final seal...
