== Plot Summary ==
=== Prologue ===
Hundreds of years ago, in the lands of feudal Japan, four elemental masters of the power known as Zen lived in peace, using their abilities passively to maintain the beautiful environment they and their people lived in, but a new Zen master appeared, one whose sole purpose was to destroy, his name was Yamatano Orochi. The four masters, knowing that their land was in danger, fought this fifth master for a long time, eventually draining the land of all its energy to seal Orochi in the depths of the Earth, but, in order to restore life to Japan, the four elementals had to give up their mortal bodies and become one with the world around them, giving back the energy of the land and allowing civilization to prosper once again. However, ever since that happened, people in Japan have been being born with the same type of powers the four masters had, known as Zen Techniques, some completely passive and harmless, others able to cause great damage.
=== The Beginning, Enter Teruo Koizumi ===
The year was 2021 in Osaka, a large city in Japan, the boy known as Teruo Koizumi was spending time at home with his mother, Chiaki Koizumi, who told her son to go to the store and buy some things for her, Teruo had finished high school the previous year, and he wasn't planning on going to college so soon, so he had nothing better to do and obliged. Along the way, Teruo was nearly mugged by some kids in an alley way, but he was easily able to get out of there and head to the store. On the way back home, Teruo met up with Otsune Kumagaru, an old friend of his, they shared some small talk as they headed to Koizumi's house, but as they turned the corner, they saw something strange, a black van parked near Teruo's home, with an odd golden emblem on its side, a circle with the letters Y and O overlapping in it.
After completely turning the corner, Teruo dropped his groceries at the sight of his mother being dragged towards the van by some men in suits, extremely angered by this, Teruo placed one hand on the ground, energy jolting up and through his body, forming into a bright, yellow sword on his other hand, he held the blade with boths hands and dashed towards the men, but another one came out of the van, stared at Teruo for a second, and turned his head to the side, which somehow threw Teruo away. Otsune used her own Technique to attack the man with her hair, but he simply looked up and seemingly cut her hair with nothing, with the two teens shocked and on the ground, the men were able to kidnap Teruo's mom and drive away, with Teruo chasing after the black vehicle for a short moment before getting tired.
The two of them had to call the police, and while the cops tried to catch up to the van, as they assumed it couldn't have gone too far, they were completely unable to find it, and they soon left Teruo and Otsune alone. Angered that he was unable to do anything then and there, Teruo swears that he will find those people who took his mom and he will rescue her himself, but Otsune convinces him to take her along, so, they pack up back at their own homes, meet back up at Teruo's house and set off on his mother's car, out of the city to try and find the kidnappers.

== Trivia ==
* Zen Techniques are very similar to the Quirks from the anime Boku no Hero Academia.
** They are special powers that people are born with.
** Everyone has their own unique power.
** They can be passed down through a number of different ways.
* The setting of modern day Japan was chosen because old-timey, fantasy settings are somewhat overdone, so this choice was made to hopefully make Warriors of Zen stand out, even slightly.
