Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers is the sequel to the 1980s Yoroi Den Samurai Troopers anime series (also known as Ronin Warriors in English). The series follows five young samurai warriors that come together to save humanity after the seal to the demon world was broken.
The original Yoroi Den Samurai Troopers anime series was created by Hajime Yatate and animated by Sunrise. The series ran from 1988 to 1999 and inspired three OVA series and a manga adaptation. It has also been streamed on Prime Video, Crunchyroll, RetroCrush, and Tubi. Discotek Media previously released the anime series on Blu-ray.
Crunchyroll is streaming the new Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers anime in several countries and territories worldwide, describing the main premise as:
Long ago, there existed an evil spirit that waged a war to conquer the human world. Defeat drove him back to the realm of darkness, but not before vowing to return and exact his revenge. A thousand years later, the world has all but forgotten the name of Arago, Emperor of Doom. When black clouds smother the bright city lights of Shinjuku, and a sinister laugh drowns out the dying hum of electricity, the people of the world plunge into terror, unprepared for the evil spirit’s return!
