December 11, 2022, in the outskirts of Tokyo's Hirakawa District, a Swordsman from Japan was defeated by Wu Li with a fatal slash to the throat during a Sword Dao duel.
This news spread across the entire Island Country Martial Arts World that same day and quickly expanded beyond.
For the Island Country Martial Arts World, the news came like a bolt from the blue.
As the last Sword Saint of the Island Country, Nakagiya Osamu's position in the Island Country Martial Arts World needs no elaboration, and most crucially, he had trained several swordsmanship masters and had guided many juniors.
Among those he had guided, many started with swordsmanship and later took up fist and foot techniques, eventually becoming experts.
Thus, with Nakagiya Osamu's death, many experts in the Island Country Martial Arts World sought to avenge him, as failing to do so would be unjustifiable.
