Did you know

• The title "Tenjho Tenge" is part of the full phrase "Tenjo Tenge yui ga doku son" which is translated to read: "There is no equal to me in this entire world." (i.e. below the heaven and on this earth). The phrase is attributed to the Buddha Sakyamuni, who said this whilst taking seven steps immediately after being born, supposed to assert his unparalleled status. This relates to the mystical martial arts some fighters in the show possess.

• Based on a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Oh! great. It was serialized in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Ultra Jump from July 1997 to August 2010, with its chapters collected in 22 tankobon volumes.
