Tenkuu Senki Shurato

A martial arts match takes an impossible turn when Shurato Hidaka and his closest friend, Gai Kuroki, vanish into a brilliant light. Shurato awakens in the Heavenly Realm, where he learns that he once belonged to its Eight Guardians. With the Asura army threatening to return, the goddess Vishnu has summoned him back to take up his divine armor.

But Gai greets him as an enemy, and betrayal soon leaves Shurato fighting for his life. Indra turns Vishnu to stone and places the blame on him, dividing the guardians against one another. Hunted by warriors who should stand beside him, Shurato must confront the conspiracy tearing their world apart and the friend he can no longer reach.
