03③ New Generation of 5 Samurai Troopers
Starting with the new protagonist Gai, 5 charming boys appear.
Uesugi Kaito, Hojo Musashi, Hojo Yamato, Ishida Shion... depicted wearing armor and fighting with their own feelings in their hearts.
The Yoroi Gear of "Scorching Heat," "Azure Sky," "Water Curtain," "Wilderness," and "Flash" will race across the battlefield once again 🔥
05⑤ New Enemy "Ramaga" and the Ten Warriors
Youja Emperor Ramaga who rules the Youja Realm appears!
The Ten Warriors serving Ramaga also stand as formidable enemies.
Sasuke, Saizo, Kamanosuke, Seikai Nyudo, Isa Nyudo... pay attention to the unique enemy characters 👹
06① Pay Attention to Connection with Original
Since it's explicitly stated as a "legitimate sequel," the connection to the original's worldview and characters is intriguing!
Will the original's five warriors appear (Ryo of Wildfire, Touma of Strata, Seiji of Halo, Shin of Torrent, Shu of Hardrock)?
Pay attention to whether the spirits inscribed on the armor like "Benevolence, Righteousness, Courtesy, Wisdom, Trust" are inherited 🔍
07② Unique New Characters
Protagonist Gai is "unconventional and energetic," with taste different from ordinary people, preferring unusual flavors.
Uesugi Kaito enjoys rock music while "hiding a certain hobby."
Hojo Musashi is a boy who believes in fortune telling, Hojo Yamato is a big brother figure with strong sense of justice who admires heroes 🌟
08③ Split 2-Cour Broadcast Development
This work has been confirmed for split 2-cour broadcast!
We can expect the story to develop carefully with character growth depicted.
Also looking forward to shocking developments at the end of the first cour 📺
09④ Director Yoichi Fujita's Comedy Sense
With Director Yoichi Fujita of "Gintama" and "Osomatsu-san," we can expect a balance of serious and comedy!
In special advance footage, comical scenes were confirmed including Gai and Kaito clashing, Shion raging, and Musashi doing tsukkomi.
Looks like we can enjoy both hot battles and laughter 😄
10⑤ New Theme Songs "YOAKE" and "POWER"
OP theme song is "YOAKE" by blank paper!
"YOAKE" is said to be "music medicine that resonates with the soul of Samurai Troopers."
ED theme song is "POWER" by ONE OR EIGHT, "expressing conviction and friendship with fast-paced sound" 🎵
11① Story of Original "Yoroiden Samurai Troopers"
In the distant legendary age, when evil spread through the world, a warrior appeared.
That warrior used righteous heart as power and vanquished Youja Emperor Arago.
However, unable to purify the armor's remaining grudge, the warrior inscribed the righteous virtues "Benevolence, Righteousness, Courtesy, Wisdom, Trust, Loyalty, Filial Piety, Brotherhood, Endurance" into the armor and divided it into nine armors ⚔️
12② Battle of Five Warriors and Four Dark Warlords
In 1988, the Youja Realm once again plotted to dominate the human world.
The Youja Emperor's castle "Arago Castle" appeared above Greater Tokyo's Shinjuku, and all modern science and weapons fell silent.
At that time, five boys "Samurai Troopers" rose up and crushed Arago's ambition 🏯
13③ Connection to New Work
Modern day, 38 years after the original.
The Youja Realm's seal breaks again, and countless Youja soldiers begin invading the human world.
Five new Samurai Troopers rush to humanity's crisis!
Their days of battle now begin anew 🔥
