The seventh episode of the new TV anime series "Yoroiden Samurai Troopers," a direct sequel to the "Yoroiden Samurai Troopers" series that aired from April 1988 to March 1989, entitled "Meisou Urai," will be broadcast on TOKYO MX, Kansai TV, and BS11 from February 17th. This is the first new anime in about 35 years since the OVA "Yoroiden Samurai Troopers MESSAGE" released in 1991, and it is also attracting attention as it is the first time a TV anime series has been broadcast in about 37 years.
Yamano Jun, who holds information about the legendary armor "Haoutei" that can defeat Rashinga, now looks nothing like the photograph of him as a boy. In order to complete the Haoutei, they must obtain the Mirror of Domination, so the new Samurai Troopers, with Shion now a member, head out to investigate. They arrive at the orphanage where Yamato and Musashi spent their childhood, where they are reunited with the director for the first time in years, but Musashi feels uneasy about the gentler attitude he displays, which is different from his memories.
The new work is a completely original story set in present-day Shinjuku, and will be directed by Yoichi Fujita, known for "Gintama" and "Mr. Osomatsu," with series composition and scriptwriting by Shogo Muto, known for "Kamen Rider Build," "Crows Zero," and "Thermae Romae." It will be produced by Sunrise and will be split into two seasons.
