The Place of Battle is the arena used for the Tourney of the Planes, which in turn are intrinsically linked to the land of Hachiman. It is here that the combatants gather alongside their champion, awaiting the order to advance for their individual duels which will determine the ultimate victor of the Tourney. When the samurai Kensei came here with his allies, he fought against the forces of a Dai-Oni, thereby securing his passage to the realm of Ikiru.
