Toushin Toshi 2

About
Toushin Toshi 2 is the second installment of the Toushin Toshi Series, released in 1994. It is a turn-based dungeon crawler RPG with a system that divides the sections of the game through days. The series is also noted for taking place in The Continent, the same setting of the Rance Series. Unlike the first game however, Toushin Toshi 2 is set in an alternate timeline, somewhat similar to Kichikuou Rance.

The game follows the story of Seed Cashima, with the objective of the game being to follow his path of self-improvement, growing over the game from a timid and weak boy, to a valiant warrior in his long succession of battles in the Toushin Tournament.

Many consider it one of the best of the older Alicesoft games that, while simple, offers a very enjoyable and fun experience with its interesting plotline, memorable cast of characters, and gimmicky dungeon crawling. Notoriously, the game received a remake all-ages adaptation made by Imageepoch that was released for the 3DS, which received the name of "Toushin Toshi Girls Gift".

Story
Seed Cashima is a young boy who lost his only father long ago and was left in a dojo of a small town, under the care of its master. She, along with Selena Phraze, a young woman that acted like an older sister figure to him, was raised in the dojo, where she met and became the childhood friend of his daughter, Hazuki Mizuhara. Over time, a very special relationship grew between the two, one that would become love and the two wished to get married. However, being the daughter of the the Dojo's Master, her husband would inherit the dojo and Seed doesn't have the approval of his father, as he's the weakest fighter of the academy.

Despite the fact that the Dojo's Master can't accept someone as weak as Seed to succeed him. Despite this, he believes that Seed has a hidden potential that could be achieved when motivated and in a real battlefield so, in order to help him set in a path of improvement, he encourages to attend the Toushin Tournament. This famous tournament gathers the strongest fighters from all over the world, fighting in many crude battles in an effort to gain the position of a Toushin, a powerful leading figure of the Toushin City that lives with comforts and luxuries. If Seed could win this tournament, the Dojo's Master promised that he would allow him to marry his daughter and inherit the dojo, however, his top student Bilnas leaves with Hazuki to compete as well in the Toushin Tournament, as he was also promised that he would be able to marry Hazuki and inherit the dojo.

Hazuki  decided to go as Bilnas' partner under the false promise from her father that, if Bilnas were to win the tournament, then Seed will be allowed to marry her. With this in mind, Seed leaves with Selena as his partner towards Toushin City with the objective of winning the tournament and be allowed to marry his beloved Hazuki. Winning the tournament will not be an easy task for the weak Seed, who regularly needs to train himself along the way in the dangerous Ragnard Dungeon in order to become stronger, knowing that he will eventually be forced to face Bilnas himself.
