It looks like we’re going for some Chinese style Martial Arts.
Note: The term Tianwei is Chinese for “Heavenly/Imperial Authority”, but based on the cards we’re taking it to be a style of martial arts, and often with martial arts, you don’t translate the style’s name, now, do you? No. So we’re leaving it in a Chinese style naming pattern.
Note 2: This theme’s ‘plotline’ will be revealed in V Jump!
