Kentousei



A kentousei (剣闘生, based off kentaisei), or gladiator, is a participant in the Tenchi Ultimate Hoshitori Battle. A kentousei receives 3 Ikusaboshi and competes for her dormitory—either Tenkuu or Daichi—in a series of one-on-one duels.

To qualify as a kentousei, a swordbearer must be at least rank C and have a shinyuu (as this is a prerequisite for joining a dormitory). Though shinyuu pairs do not fight together, they can share Ikusaboshi between themselves.
