The Anime Lad
Seigi is a young martial artist who steps in when thugs attack an older man. The rescued stranger gives him an object that marks his palm with a tattoo. It is actually a special weapon capable of supernatural effects. When American agent Ijii arrives to recover such tattoos, Seigi’s helpful impulse expands into a cross-national conspiracy with inadequate advance notice.
Super Eyepatch Fox
Use martial arts to rescue a stranger from thugs. Receive an object that imprints a tattoo on your palm. Learn that the mark is a supernatural weapon linked to a wider conspiracy. Seigi meets American agent Ijii, whose job is recovering the tattoos, and chooses to help her despite knowing little about the conflict.
Gigguku
Seigi does one decent thing on the street and walks away with a supernatural weapon printed on his palm. The tattoo can warp space and immediately makes ordinary martial arts feel much less ordinary. Then agent Ijii appears with a mission to recover these marks. A simple rescue becomes the entrance to action operating far beyond one neighborhood.
Father's Basement
Giving a martial artist a space-warping tattoo is not a subtle opening, and the larger conspiracy arrives just as loudly. The combination is efficient. Seigi rescues a stranger and receives a supernatural weapon before meeting the American agent assigned to recover tattoos like his. His decision to help turns an unexplained gift into a conflict he can no longer treat as private.
