Plot

Takaya Ougi, a high school student, wants nothing more than to protect his best friend Yuzuru Narita and live a normal life. That is, until Nobutsuna Naoe, an intense and charismatic man, informs Takaya that he is in fact the reincarnation of Lord Kagetora, the adopted son of a noble samurai lord, Kenshin Uesugi. Naoe, himself a "possessor," or a soul reborn through time, reawakens Takaya's abilities to exorcise evil spirits and fight the Feudal Underworld, a collection of restless warrior spirits bent on modern-day conquest. While most possessors remember their former lives before being reincarnated, Takaya is one of the few who doesn't, and is often hostile towards any effort for the complete recovery of his memory. As the plot unfolds, the complex history of the characters and their past suggests why this is so, and the true nature of the tempestuous and somewhat ambiguous relationship between the two leads provides the backdrop for a melodrama that spans several generations of Japanese history. As they ascend to the living world to renew their ancient war, Naoe, Takaya, and two other possessors gear up to prevent that from happening. The series is set inMatsumoto,a large city inNagano.

OVA

The OVARebels of the River Edge(2003) has animated the book with same title. The OVA resumes the plot of the anime television series, yet incorporates several new developments, among them the question of unswerving loyalty and personal honor. Takaya is sent toKyototo investigate the re-awakening of the Ikko sect and Murashige Araki, a one time member of theIkkōsect who has since deserted the clan. With the help of his vassal and fellow possessor Haruie, the two are successful in tracking him down, only to discover that Murashige is after a 400-year-old mandala (aBuddhistritualisticartifactand meditative aid) made of the hair of the deceased Araki clansmen. Unfortunately, by the time they meet up with Murashige, Haruie recognizes him as Shintarou, her former lover in apast life.Whether it's true or not, and despite the confusing emotional complication of this development, Takaya orders Haruie to eliminate Murashige once he becomes a true threat to the balance of power. Meanwhile, Takaya finally reunites with Naoe after a prolonged period of estrangement. Unresolved sexual and psychological tension dominates their initial exchange, and it's uncertain whether these two powerful possessors will resolve their differences and work together against this latest threat.

Characters

Takaya Ougi(Ngưỡng mộc cao gia,Ōgi Takaya)

Voiced by:Toshihiko Seki(Japanese);Richard Cansino(English)

A lonely 17-year-old high school delinquent from Jyohoku High School who finds out that he's actually the reincarnation ofKagetora Uesugi,despite having repressed the memories of his prior existence due to a traumatic incident. When he was a junior high-school student, he was a famous juvenile delinquent atMatsumotosince he rebelled against his alcoholic father. Abrupt and outspoken in demeanor, he defiantly and exhaustingly denies the fact that he is Kagetora, refusing to believe that he is anyone but Takaya. He nonetheless exhibits a highly moral attitude towards his newfound duty as a "possessor" once he accepts the reality of his past. Through the course of the series, he develops a minor split personality, confusing his ancient persona with his current persona (i.e. Takaya Ohgi vs. Kagetora Uesugi). All of the Uesugi possessors, as well as close friends, call him "Takaya" unless he's in his Kagetora persona, save Naoe who always calls him "Lord Kagetora" as a mark of their master/vassal relationship. He's a very powerful magic user, capable of exorcising spirits and demons and constructing an energy barrier against attack. He has a strong conviction and is stubborn, though he hides his vulnerably delicate mind with a bluff. Although he has serious misanthropy, he's incredibly defenseless and innocent toward man who he trusted. He's eager for a father figure and mentor, and tends to trust an older man. Takaya begins to trust and love Naoe due to his protection despite himself, and although he knows he may just be a substitute for Kagetora. Takaya becomes a wise, noble and charismatic leader after he regains Kagetora's memories, but it also begins a deep discord with Naoe due to an event 30 years in the past. Takaya becomes intent on "winning" or keeping the upper hand against Naoe although there is a strange attraction between them. However, due to the fact Takaya (as Kagetora) was raped by his foster lord's vassals when he was in Hojo clan, he hates sexual intercourse. At the end of the novel's part 1 "Youkihi the Sea Goddess", the situation has changed after Naoe's soul was damaged and can no longer use any power, including the ability to possess a new host. Takaya is disturbed by the idea that Naoe's death could be permanent, and his spirit be lost forever. Then he shows intense affection for Naoe, unleashing a powerful display of protective magic due to his fury that theMori clanhad taken Naoe hostage. In the end, Naoe protects him and died causing Takaya to lose his sanity however. However, when he seals his feelings on the advice of his real father,Ujiyasu Hojo's soul, he is able to beat his enemies. Then, he believed Kotaro is Naoe since he wakes up.
