Background
Oda Nobunaga was born in on June 23rd, 1534 in Nagoya, Owari Province in Japan during the Sengoku period. He became known in history as one of the most powerful and influential daimyō in Japan as well as the "Great Unifier".

However, on June 21st, 1582, Nobunaga was betrayed by his general Akechi Mitsuhide during his campaign to consolidate centralized power in Japan under his authority. Nobunaga died at the Honnō-ji temple in Kyoto during an event known as the Honnō-ji Incident.

Nobunaga was eventually revived as the Demon Lord and returned to Japan alongside his heavenly fortress Azuchi Castle. With Ranmaru at his side, Nobunaga aimed to conquer not just Japan but the entire world. His crusade brought him in conflict with the Five-Ring Warriors who fought him to stop him. Because Nobunaga became too powerful, the Five-Ring Warriors resorted to a desperate option which involved using the Five-Ring Mandala to seal away the Demon Lord at the cost of one of them dying. Nobunaga was sealed away but not before swearing that he will return.
