Senya


The chaotic aftermath of a confrontation between Jinka Yamato and Yazen results in the power dynamics between the magically gifted katawara and humans being turned upside down. As the news of the downfall of dangaishu—the katawara-hunting monks led by Yazen—spreads across the country, rogue groups of katawara start to form, worsening the already-fragile relationship between them and humanity. An alcoholic Shinsuke Hyoudou now finds himself in the company of Senya, a former enemy of his who controls one thousand katawara within his body. Suffering from amnesia and unaware of his past life, Senya soon makes friends with a local village girl, Tsukiko. After a sudden surprise attack from a local god gone mad, this unlikely trio begin a new journey! Meanwhile, Tama Youko continues her search for the nine-tailed fox who now has the power to destroy the world: Jinka. (Source: MAL Rewrite, edited)
Shinsuke plans to attack a local group of brigands, only to be beaten to the punch by the eccentric Tama and Jinka. Impressed by their prowess in battle, Shinsuke becomes determined to follow them, and offers to take them to the brigands' leader.
The party retreats after failing to defeat the rampaging katawara. The monks in their party are shocked when they learn exactly who taught Jinka the secret of spirit transformation. Shinsuke, in turn, is shocked to learn the katawara's true origins.
Jinka pours his fury out on the Dangaisyuu temple, prompting the local leaders to discuss moving operations elsewhere. Meanwhile, Tama tells Shinsuke and Shakugan a little more about herself and Jinka's spirit transformation.
Shinsuke and Shakugan are staying with Jinka and Tama, but Shinsuke isn't learning much in the way of fighting skills. Instead, Shinsuke is left behind to do chores when Tama and Jinka are informed of trouble with a local katawara.
Shinsuke starts training with Zanzou, who's recuperating in a mountain cave and requests payment in the form of food. Zanzou tells Shinsuke about his sister, and how she came to join the Dangaisyuu as a nun.
Raidou departs the party, but not without giving Shinsuke a surprising gift first. The journey to Kagan's home is long, and the others are exhausted when they cross paths with a group of monkey katawara.
The party finally reaches Kagan's hometown, a settlement of katawara. Coincidentally, a pregnant human arrives at the same time, seeking shelter so she can give birth. Not coincidentally, some Dangaisyuu agents also arrive...
The group's latest battle against the Dangaisyuu pushes Shinsuke to the brink, making him more desperate for strength than ever before. Luckily, they also encounter what appears to be a powerful new ally.
Jinka, Tama, and Shinsuke meet with the Mountain Goddess to discuss their next course of action against the Dangaisyuu, while Jinun and Senya continue to hunt for them.
With their training complete, the Mountain Godess intends on having the party attack the Daigansyuu. But Tama has a different plan in mind.
Jinka and Douren square off as Shinsuke and Resshin try to kill each other.
Battles unfold in parallel with Jinka and Shinsuke taking on Douren and Resshin. But even if they succeed, how can they take down Taizan, who's been turned into a walking fortress?
Jinka squares off for the final battle against Yazen, but as the two spiritually transformed humans fight, Jinka treads into dangerous territory.
Senya wakes up in a strange village with no memories and is immediately greeted by Shinsuke. Shinsuke wants to use the boy's memory loss to turn him into a normal child. However, the thousand battle-hungry Katawara in his body make this task difficult.
The battle in the village has shaken Senya's willingness to fight, as Tsukiko tries to become strong enough to prevent future tragedies.
After escaping a clash with the black dragon, Mudo, Senya and his party arrive in Kyoto, but they find that the big city isn't much safer than the country roads.
The Shōgun himself takes charge of the group and introduces them to the local goddess. Tsukiko is kidnapped by Mudo, but Senya doesn't have enough control over his Katawara to rescue her.
Senya struggles to unify the Katawara inside of him in order to face Mudo and rescue Tsukiko. But with Shinsuke and Yoshiteru's guidance, he might just stand a chance.
Senya and Mudo clash, with Senya's new outlook giving him the strength to stand his ground. Meanwhile, the confrontation between Yoshiteru and Matsunaga makes history.
With the battle against Mudo and Matsunaga over, it's time to return to the road... But some complications may keep Shinsuke from being able to meet up with Tama again, as he originally intended. And just who are the mysterious five who keep hounding Senya?
