Capcom must be onto something with these theatrical adaptations of their franchises, because fresh off the Ace Attorney show-and-dance routine comes news Devil Kings – or Sengoku Basara – is being adapted for the stage.
Yes, Devil Kings fans, this is two stories in one night. Be still your beating hearts!
The games, which are set in Japan’s Sengoku period, are unique in that for a series all about kicking arse, they’re quite a hit with the ladies, with Capcom claiming that nearly half the Sengoku Basara audience are female.
The play will run from July 3 through to July 12 at the Tokyo Dome. Expect awkward YouTube recordings to surface shortly thereafter.

It’s not unusual for these type of things to go slightly shoujo, some of the characters are incredibly fruity. Saiyuki is a good example of this.
