Description

Unmatched: Sun's Origin spotlights two heroes from the rich history of Japan.

Oda Nobunaga was the daimyo of the Oda clan, renowned for unifying feudal Japan. He is a master tactician, making his honor guard even more dangerous (and just so happens to be a powerhouse in Tales To Amaze).

Tomoe Gozen was a legendary onna-musha of the Minamoto clan. She strikes hard and fast, relentlessly pursuing her enemy across the battlefield.

The set features stunning artwork by Yuta Onoda, with cultural consultation by Saigo.
