Summary
Twelve fighters enter, one fighter leaves—who will win the 12th
Zodiac War?
Every 12 years, 12 fighters take the form of the Chinese zodiac
and engage in a battle royale. With their strength and mysterious powers, they
fight to the death and the sole survivor is granted the ultimate prize—any
wish.
With several of the fighters already dead, the Zodiac War is in
full swing! The biggest danger the remaining fighters face is Usagi, the fighter
of the Rabbit. He has the unique ability to control the dead bodies of those
he’s slain, putting the other fighters at a huge disadvantage! While Usagi
and his undead army rampage in the streets above, Chicken and Rat lay low
underground with Monkey, who is determined to settle the battle with as few
deaths as possible.
