Bit and his friends set sail from the Black Horizon, heading for a new continent.

There they find a town called Shantigo, where people who use Tengeki live, and Bit and his friends end up living there temporarily.

Leon, the son of the Lord of Shantigo, hates becoming a Buster and has been waiting for a chance to run away from home. When Leon meets Bit and his friends, he has a mysterious hidden power called the "Tenrikijin," and he uses that power to fight a fierce battle with the prisoners Vandel and his men, who are being controlled by Baus.

Main Characters

Bit is the main character of the story, and admires Zenon and the others, and tries to follow the path of a Vandell Buster. His enthusiasm leads him to make a contract with the Vandell Buster, and when he is nearly killed by a demon, he receives five Saiga from Zenon and the others. Poala protected the village as a Vandell Buster for three years while Bit was away training. He worries about Bit more than anyone else, but he is constantly at the mercy of Bit's free-spiritedness. He is currently the No. 2 in Bit's warrior group. Toto was saved by Poala when he was attacked by a Vandell in the forest, and they began to act together. Not only does he lighten the mood, but he also supports Bit and the others by calling for help when Bit and Poala are in trouble. Kiss is a boy who is usually unreliable and aims to be a Tengeki user, and he and Bit once promised to pursue their dreams and parted ways, but later became a subordinate of the demon Grinité. However, he reunites with Bit and regains his former dream and self by touching his heart. Milfa is a member of the BB (Broad Buster) with extraordinary abilities and the right to punish busters who break discipline. She likes Bit and feels that it was fate, but once she gets into a fight, she is very reliable with her calm judgment and abilities. She overwhelms her enemies by making full use of her powerful fang, the Raibolt Grasper. Leon is the only son of the lord of Shantigo, the "City of Heavenly Attack," and has great natural powers, but for some reason he hates busters.

The people Bit met were Zenon, Rio, Cruz, Blue Zam, Alcide, Gryphus, Evil, Tonga, Raymond, Padro, Matilda, and Fanya. Zenon is a Vandel Buster who leads the Zenon Warriors, the continent's best buster group, and is usually very quiet, but shows his anger towards evil. To protect his younger brother Bit, he risked his life to defeat the demons and entrusted Bit with his Saiba. Rio was the leader of the Zenon Warriors' charge and was Bit's closest friend. His Saiba uses the Burning Lance as his Saiba, and his spear, created with the heavenly power of fire, is always hot and burns through the enemy's body. Cruz is the brains of the Zenon Warriors, and is a cool-headed, handsome man. His Saiba uses the strong Crown Shield as his Saiba, and its outer armor is protected by the heavenly power of water, giving it an ironclad defensive power that protects it from various enemy attacks. Blue Zam is a senior member of the Zenon Warriors, and has a huge axe, the Voltic Axe, as his fang. Its basic attribute is the divine power of lightning, and it is an extremely powerful weapon that mows down enemies with overwhelming power. Alcide is a silent sniper of the Zenon Warriors, and his fang is embodied by the divine power of "wind", so it can fire at an incredible rate. Its destructive power is also immense, and it can create a large explosion of smoke all around the area it hits. The sword-like protrusion that extends straight down is extremely sharp and can also be used as a close-combat weapon. Griffath is the captain of the Tenseki Corps, and is called Griffath of the Explosive Flame. He is in charge of raising Rion, but he is always worried about Rion sneaking out of the castle. His face looks exactly like Grinide of Vandel, but that is taboo in front of him. Evil is the captain of the Tenseki Corps, and is called Evil of the Cool Breeze. He has a nonchalant attitude and it is hard to understand what he is thinking. He always defaults on his meal bills at the inn, so people don't like him coming to Milfa. Tonga is the captain of the Tenseki Squadron, and is called Tonga the Thunderbolt. He is the type who says things clearly, so he is easily disliked by others. Raymond is the captain of the Tenseki Squadron, and is called Raymond the Flowing Water. He is proud of his muscles and strikes a pose whenever he gets the chance. He is the type who can overcome any difficult situation with tenacity. Padro is the lord of Shantigo and Leon's father, and despite his appearance, he has hidden powers. Matilda is Leon's mother, and has the same power as Leon, and was killed by Baus. Fanya is in charge of Griffath's daily care.

The demons (Vandels) and monsters include Beltoze, Shaggy, Baus, Hang, Harden, Harden's subordinates, Nyanjammer, Tuba, Jela, Artron, and Stroga. Beltoze is an overwhelmingly powerful demon, nicknamed the "King of Tragedy," and always desires to fight against strong people. He fought and defeated the Zenon Warriors in Ancrus three years ago. Shaggy is the world's busiest demon, serving as the director of the Demon Guest House and the overseer of all demons. He travels around the world using doors that appear from the ground and watches over the demons' actions. Baus is the prison warden of the Demon Prison, a prison for the Vandels who have committed crimes. He manipulates the prisoner Vandels and relentlessly pursues Bit. Hang is a Vandel who is skilled in water attacks and can change his form by blending in with the rain. He is greedy and will eat anything. Harden is a Vandel who has a weakness for gold, and if he hears that there is gold in the city, he plans to take it by force. Harden's subordinates are Vandels who follow Harden loyally. Nyanjammer is the weakest Vandel in history, always making mistakes, and was once overlooked by Leon because of his weakness. Tuba is Nyanjammer's trusted subordinate, and is a brave monster who is astonished by his master's stupidity but tries to be useful somehow. Jera has a strong grudge against Bit after he was seriously injured by him in the past, and when his restraints were destroyed, he unleashes his powerful dark power. Artron is a Vandel who is passionate about art, and his catchphrase is "passion." Stroga is a Vandel with countless hands embedded in his body, which become sharp blades and torment Bit and his friends.
