Biography[]
Dairokuten Maou is a card battler who works behind Toukichirou Mashira and Ranmaru Shikigami. He has been watching Yukimura Rekka and the other's actions. His ultimate ambition is to rule the world, and bring order to it.
His group was behind a takeover in Musashi, where Kanetsugu Houryokuin was manipulated and made leader. However, they quickly locked Kanetsugu away, and enforced unwelcome changes (mainly forcing everyone to use the same deck) in his name. Once Ranmaru and Toukichirou were defeated, Dairokuten Maou agreed to release Kanetsugu.
Yukimura, still angry with him and having different views on what to do when he rules the world, ends up battling with Dairokuten Maou. Naturally, Yukimura is defeated easily. Still, Dairokuten Maou and his group leave Musashi afterwards.
He is later seen entering the Warring States Championship as a team with Ranmaru and Toukichirou, which he seems to have been aware of before it was announced.
During the championships, Ranmaru and Toukichirou were able to win every battle until the second round of the official tournament, where the teams were split up and each member had to battle for themselves.
During the opening ceremony of the second round, Dairokuten Maou appeared, requesting full authority over IBSA if he wins. Ichi Tenma, the executive member of IBSA, confidently accepted the request, claiming that one of the battlers participating in the championship would be able to defeat him.
In the second round, Dairokuten Maou had his first battle in the championships against Katsuie Shiraishi, and won easily.
He reappeared as Nobunaga to have conversation with Yukimaru. Nobu told the reason why he suddenly left Japan, he revealed that he had gone overseas to battle stronger foes and was shocked by the 3-D battling systems he found there. So, Nobu, returning to Japan, worked with the IBSA to create a battling system for Japan. Nobu told Yukimura how to defeat the Soul Drive, he should consult the Battle Spirits hermit at the Five Fuji Lakes.
Next, in the quarterfinals, Dairokuten Maou battled against Souun Gunjou. During the battle, Dairokuten Maou mocked Souun for being so weak, greatly angering her. In the end, however, Dairokuten Maou won the battle and he crushed Souun badly, fatally injuring Souun in the process, his victory caused Yukimaru and his friend furious and decided to overthrow him forever.
After the quarterfinals, he hacked into the stadium to speak to everyone for announcing his promise for taking the full authority of IBSA.
In the semifinals, Dairokuten Maou battled against Toshiie Homura. Toshi wanted to have a dream match with Yukimura in the finals as they promised, and as they battled, Toshi damaged Dairokuten Maou's mask. Angered, he tores off his damaged mask, revealing that he was Nobunaga Tenma, the heir of the Tenma family, and related to Ichi Tenma, who surprised about his true identity. However, this surprised the other audiences, especially Yukimura, who was shocked that Dairokuten Maou was actually his missing coach, Nobu. Dairokuten Maou then proceeded to defeat Toshi and crushed him badly, leaving him in the same injured state as Souun.
After the match, Yukimura begged for an explanation for why Nobu was actually Dairokuten Maou. Dairokuten Maou denied that he was Nobu, stating that he was just Nobunaga Tenma, and walked off the stage. Off the stage, he was confronted by Ichi, who seems to known his true identity beforehand.
After he won against Souun and Toshi. He returned as Nobunage Tenma and has to face Yukimaru in the final in the tournament in order to rule the world, this battle is an very intense fight. However at the end of the tournament, Yukimaru defeated him this time and stopped his dispothic plan.
At the end of the series, Nobunaga has reformed and he decided to have his journey with Ranmaru and Toukichirou. Before going, he told his sister Ichi to take care of IBSA.
