I saw some map layouts for the series so far...
Hmm, some locations included are Imperial Japan, British Empire, Chivalric King Alliance, Siberian Federation, United States of America, and Chinese Republic.

My interest in this series was sparked a long time ago already.
I mean, seriously? Takedzuki Jou of Campione and Leviathan for the story. BUNBUN, the illustrator of Yuyuyu (and SAO, if some people are to be believed with BUNBUN and abec being the same person or something). I'm always a sucker for series with historical references, and Takedzuki Jou already hooked me in with the series mentioned above. About the story itself, so far: A country in the far east that's already surrounded by foreign powers. Literal one-man-armies in the form of ancient heroes. A formerly exiled princess returning to her homeland, aiming to find the one of the above and recruit him for her own ends. ... Though the male MC isn't revealed yet, so I have no idea on how to judge his attitude. From the conversation between the princess and her bodyguard, it seems like the guy's very aloof. For now, I guess I'll restrain my curiosity and wait for further chapters to be released. |

It is more plausible that MC is a reincarnation of japanese hero, as from illustrations his Legion is equipped with katanas.
Nobunaga is a plausible guess (the legion wears oni-like mask, and Nobunaga's title is the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven), or the author can throw another curveball just like the identity of King of the End in Campione. |

I'd believe it if it the MC, Tachibana Masatsugu, really was the incarnation of Nobunaga.
He'd inherit his past self's ambition to unify, and conquer, the land. His "Kamui"/"Kamuy" Legions also look like samurai, yet are armed with muskets, something Nobunaga used to great effect during the Battle of Nagashino against the Takeda cavalry, among other battles. Although my theory starts to lose weight when we look at the British Empire's Crusade Legions and the Eastern Roman Empire's Centuriae Legions, who are also described to be armed with guns as well... |

When a princess invites you for tea, you usually just stay in your seat and enjoy the tea, I think.
You certainly don't expect her to throw a teacup right at you. Nor do you expect someone rushing at you with a wooden sword. Masatsugu's also pretty strong physically, eh? Casually shrugging off a fallen large object to save someone. And I just recalled that he pretty much kabedon'd the Princess... on the ground. |
