Every 12 years, mercenaries who possess the highest caliber of brute strength, cunning wit, and deadly precision gather to participate in the Zodiac Tournament. Each warrior bears the name and attributes of one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. With their pride and lives on the line, they engage in vicious combat until only the victor remains. The 12th Zodiac Tournament begins in a desolate city, devoid of any evidence of the half million people who recently lived there. To raise the stakes, each warrior ingests a poisonous gem, thus setting a time limit on the tournament—and on their life. With one wish for the victor up for grabs, the Zodiac Warriors start their cutthroat battle for survival. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
Episodes
1. Even Boars May Become Pigs After Seven Generations
The Juni Taisen takes place once every twelve years. The participating warriors must kill each other until only one remains; this winner will have one wish granted. Warrior of the Boar, Inonoshishi, is the daughter of the last Taisen's winner. She sabotaged and destroyed her little sister in order to take her place at the Taisen, because her pride as eldest daughter could not withstand the thought of being displaced. She uses her skill "Non-Reload" and swears to win elegantly, but she ends up fighting her first enemy in an unexpected way.
2. Tricks Both Mongrel and Fowl
Warrior of the Dog, Dotsuku, is known for his powerful bite, "Mad Dog's Vise." However, he has a secret skill: the ability to create and secrete a variety of poisons from his body. This provides Dotsuku an advantage in a contest where all the participants have been poisoned to enforce a time limit. His plan is to let the other warriors kill each other, and wait while they thin out their own numbers... but his plan is interrupted by a certain under-the-radar warrior.
3. Cutting a Chicken with a Beef Cleaver
The rooster warrior, Niwatori, does not have the powerful weapons of other warriors, but instead has the skill of borrowing the sight of birds, "Unome Hawk's Eye", and can handle even the most sneaky betrayal without remorse. With strength, he has survived the harsh battlefield. However, even in such a battle, she shakes for the first time in front of the monkey warrior, Sharyu, who seeks peace. She refuses the invitation of sand grains and walks around the town while asking herself what her strength is ...
4. The Enemy, a Noble Primate
Shin's warrior, Sharyu, is a powerful and unrivaled warrior who has the skills to freely manipulate liquids, individuals, and gases under the guidance of his masters, water monkeys, rock monkeys, and vaporized monkeys. However, she believes in using that power in the right direction, and has led numerous battles to a ceasefire with high bargaining power over battlefields around the world. Even in the Twelve Wars, the sand grains trying to find the way to peace are the only ones asked by the child warrior, the mouse, who responded to peace, whether it makes sense to save such a crappy human being. I remember my experience on a battlefield
5. A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Warrior of the Ram, Hitsujii, is a legendary warrior and previous winner of the 9th Juni Taisen. He was an arms merchant who also made his name on the battlefield, but at the time, his one wish was to see his grandchild's face. In this new Taisen, Hitsujii ranks the other warriors by their ability and plots a scheme using the poison Juseki crystal, which he somehow managed not to swallow.
6. Even a Champion Racehorse May Stumble
Warrior of the Horse, Uuma, has trained his physical body to its limits to acquire the ultimate defensive technique, "Stirrup." But his confidence in that ability faltered during his meeting with the Warrior of the Ox, which ended poorly for him. Uuma barricades himself in a bank fault, thinking he can win if he waits out the time limit... but an intruder casts doubt on that goal.
