Kamigawa is an expert-level Magic: The Gathering block inspired by Japanese myths and revolving around the battle between spirits (kami) and living beings.

This is especially important, as Kamigawa's original idea was summed up as "Shinto gone horribly wrong": Kami warring against their human worshippers.

The depiction of the world of Kamigawa is heavily inspired by East Asian culture, especially that of sengoku-era Japan.

The conflict of the story begins when suddenly the kami attack the physical realm, killing many denizens in their wake.

The feudal lord, or daimyō, of Kamigawa, Takeshi Konda, employs samurai and scholars to resolve the situation, many of which are represented on the playing cards.

The heroes of the story are Michiko Konda, the pure-hearted daughter of the daimyō, and Toshiro Umezawa, a ronin samurai with roguish qualities.

The rising action of the story involves Umezawa's struggle with a fellow gang member, Hidetsugu, an ogre with an eschatomanic philosophy regarding oni; and the protagonists' interactions with the five Myojin, some of the most powerful kami with elemental powers pertaining to life, death, omniscience, destruction, and ecology.

Enraged, the supreme god had removed the barrier and commanded an all-out attack to retrieve its child.

Umezawa is able to steal the spirit child back and, once a ritual of release is performed, he and Michiko are able to reconcile with the kami.

The spirit child takes on the form of a dragon-like being, calling itself Kyodai, and merges with Michiko.

Notable cards in Saviors include Erayo, Soratami Ascendant, Azusa, Lost but Seeking, and Pithing Needle.
