This anime is a very short series with only 26 episodes, and a two episode OVA, Ultimate Battle. The name comes from Buddha saying, "I alone am honored on Heaven and Earth". This is translated from Tenjouu Tenge Yuiga Dokuson; thus the name Tenjou Tenge. This series is rated, “Adult", so this would be considered as mature content. Aside from that, the setting is in Japan at Todoh Academy. Souichiro Nagi, and Bob Makihara are freshmen there and they plan to "take-over" the school, by beating everyone else that's there. But then they run into Maya Natsume. From then on their destinies intertwine. There are various "clubs" at the academy. These clubs are based of martial artist styles, as this is a martial artist school. As far as characters go, I'm only including the characters form the Anime series, not the manga; thus, they will be people missing from the whole lot of the characters. Below is a pretty good number of the major characters, or just people you see in the show, but first we talk about the different clans in the show.
The Raising Phoenix
This is the 12 founding families, of martial artists. The emblem is of a Phoenix. It's wing on the right consists of white feather, while the left wing has red feathers. White feather represents jujitsu, other martial art styles along with fencing, where the red feather stand for religion, which consists of magic and special traits. There are a total of 36 feathers, these 12 families and other supporting or minor families. The Takayanagi family is the Phoenix itself, and the feathers help support it.
