Protagonists
Ryo Sanada
Voiced by: Takeshi Kusao (Japanese), Matt Hill (English)
Ryo Sanada is the unofficial leader of the Ronin Warriors. He wears the red Armor of Wildfire (烈火Rekka), which represents the element of fire and the guiding virtue Jin (仁Jin?, lit. benevolence and dubbed as Virtue). He later acquires the white Armor of Inferno (白い輝煌帝Shiroi Kikotei, lit. White Sun Emperor). He is often seen with his white tiger, White Blaze. He is brash and impulsive, but has a good heart.
Ryo first appears with White Blaze just as Talpa's invasion begins. The two fight a Dynasty Soldier alone and are almost killed until Rowen appears with the others. Although Ryo defeats the Soldier with their help, he is reluctant to accept them. He agrees to help Mia and Ully find the Warriors after Talpa separates them. Ryo unlocks the Armor of Inferno when he and the Warriors are captured and absorbed by Talpa. He equips the armor by gathering the energies and guiding virtues of four of the other armors.
His weapons are a pair of katanas and his surekill is 'Flare Up Now' (双炎斬Sōenzan, lit. Twin Flame Cut), in which he combines them into a Quarterstaff-like weapon and executes a powerful strike. His swords are damaged when Ryo uses them while in the Inferno armor due to the armor's power. They are replaced by the Swords of Fervor (剛烈剣Gouretsuken, lit. Strong Violent Swords), which he received from Lord Sabrestryke. He gains a new surekill, Rage of Inferno (超弾動閃煌斬ChōdandōSenKōzan, lit. Ultra-Ballistic Flash Cut), in which he shoots a strong burst of flame from his swords. The Inferno Armor is destroyed in the OVA The Legend of the Inferno Armor during battle with Mukala. Ryo gains a new armor in the 3rd OVA, Message, but its abilities are unknown.
The name 'Sanada' likely comes from Sanada Yukimura, a real samurai who died in 1615. He is frequently depicted as wearing red armor, and is widely considered a hero. The crest on Ryo's armor is actually a slightly stylized version the family symbol of the Takeda clan.[1] In a Newtype poll, Ryo ranked #17 for the top 30 most popular male anime character from the 1980s.[2]
Sage Date
Voiced by: Daiki Nakamura (Japanese), Michael Donovan (English)
Sage Date (伊達征士 Date Seiji) wears the green Armor of Halo (光輪Kōrin), which represents the element of light and the guiding virtue of Rei (礼Rei, lit. courtesy, translated as Grace in the OVA). In the English dub of the series, his guiding virtue is Chi (Wisdom). His rival is Cale, the Dark Warlord of Corruption. He is considered the most mature and aloof member of the team. When the Ancient One sends him to the Catasota Gulch Pinnacles to unlock his armor's true power, Sage realized the armors can be used for good or evil. He speaks formally in the original 'Samurai Troopers' series.
Sage fights with a nodachi, a Japanese broadsword. His surekill is the Thunderbolt Cut (雷光斬Raikōzan, lit. Lightning Strike), an energized thrust attack; it also appears as a burst of energy beams.
Sage is captured by Shikaiden and the Mad Scientist in the OVA Gaiden. His Armor of Halo is used to kill people in New York, including Runa's brother. Sage gains a new armor in the last OVA, Message, but its abilities are unknown.
Sage's family name, Date, comes from a real-life samurai called Date Masamune. Date Masamune is famous for being blind in one eye, and has the nickname 'The One-Eyed Dragon.' As an intentional nod to this, Sage's hair is styled so that his bangs always cover one eye.
Cye Mouri
Voiced by: Nozomu Sasaki (Japanese), Michael Donovan (English)
Cye Mouri (毛利伸 Mōri Shin) wears the light blue Armor of Torrent (水滸Suikō), which represents the element of water and the guiding virtue Shin (信Trust). His rival is Sekhmet, the Dark Warlord of Venom. He is the oldest member of the Warriors and one of the calmest. When the Ancient One sent him to the Sea of Toyama to unlock his armor's true power, he encountered a clone of himself called Red Torrent. He defeated the clone by purifying the water around himself, which strengthened him. He speaks with an Australian accent in the English dub.
His weapon is a Jūmonji yari, whose prongs can close, allowing him to grab opponents from afar or cut through obstacles. The armor is also equipped with a tantō dagger and a claw-like weapon on the gauntlet, but he has, apparently, never used either of those. His surekill is Super Wave Smasher (超流破Chōryūha, lit. Super Wave Crush), a powerful burst of water. In the 3rd OVA, Message, Cye receives a new suit of Armor, but its abilities are unknown.
Cye's family name, Mouri, possibly came from the real-life Japanese daimyo Mouri Motonari.
Kento Rei Fuan
Voiced by: Tomohiro Nishimura (Japanese), Jason Gray-Stanford (English).
Kento Rei Fuan (秀麗黄 Shū Rei Fuan) wears the orange and brown Armor of Hardrock (金剛Kongō, lit. Adamantine), which represents the element of Earth and the guiding virtue Gi (義Gi, lit. Righteousness, dubbed as Justice). It is said to be the most violent of the armors. His rival is Dais, the Dark Warlord of Illusion. Kento is arguably the strongest of the Ronin Warriors, as he can perform feats of great strength without his armor. Kento has a short temper, but he also has a good heart. Kento is also good friends with Cye and Rowen.
When the Ancient One sent Kento to Mt. Aso to unlock his Armor's true power, Dais followed him with the Sand Strikers. Kento defeated them by learning to focus his power.
His weapon is a combination of a three-section staff and a naginata which he sometimes wields like a pair of nunchakus in close combat. The armor's surekill is Iron Rock Crusher (岩鉄砕Gantessai, lit. Rock-Iron Smash) which causes a massive earthquake-like disruption around him. Kento gains a new suit of Armor in the 3rd OVA, Message, but its powers and abilities are unknown.
Rowen Hashiba
Voiced by: Hiroshi Takemura (Japanese), Ward Perry (English)
Rowen Hashiba (羽柴当麻 Hashiba Tōma) wears the indigo blue Armor of Strata (天空Tenkū, lit. Heavens) Tenkū, which represents the element of air and the guiding virtue Chi (智Chi, Wisdom), which the English dub of the series changes to Inochi (Life). His enemy is Anubis, the Darklord of Cruelty. He is said to have an IQ of 250, making him the most intelligent of the Ronin Warriors. He often acts as a voice of reason to Ryo and Kento's hotter tempers. The English dub of the series gives him a thick Brooklyn accent, but that went missing in the OVAs. Rowen is close friends with Sage, as they share similar interests.
His weapon is a collapsible bow which draws a seemingly unlimited amount of arrows from a small quiver attached to the armor's back. His surekill is Arrow Shockwave (真空波Shinkūha, lit. Vacuum Wave), an extremely powerful light arrow. (The first use of which demolished a large section of a mountain). Rowen gains a new suit of Armor in the third OVA, Message, but its powers are unknown.
Rowen's name Hashiba is most likely from Toyotomi Hideyoshi's original surname, Hashiba. Toyotomi was Oda Nobunaga's successor, and unified Japan under his rule for a short while.
Antagonists
Talpa
Voiced by: Shigezō Sasaoka (Japanese), Mina Mina (English)
Talpa, the Emperor of the Dynasty, (妖邪帝王・阿羅醐Yōja Teiō Arago, lit. 'Demon Emperor Arago'), is the central antagonist of the series. He was defeated by the Ancient One during his first attempt to conquer Earth a thousand years earlier. Talpa's spirit was banished to the Nether Realm while his armor remained on Earth. Since the armor could not be destroyed, the Ancient One split it apart into nine separate armors with their own powers and virtues. Talpa re-acquired four of them, Cruelty, Corruption, Illusion, and Venom, and gave them to four humans who became his Dark Warlords.
When Talpa returns in the modern era, he takes over the city of Tokyo and captures its citizens. Initially appearing as a giant ghostly helmet, Talpa sent the Dark Warlords to do his bidding. He eventually confronts the Warriors and absorbs them along with the Warlords to regain his physical form. He was vanquished by the newly created Armor of Inferno and was assumed to be destroyed. He later returned, along with his trump-card, Lady Kayura, to gain the Armor of Inferno for himself. He nearly succeeded in absorbing all nine armors, but was thwarted by Anubis' sacrifice. In the final battle, he overwhelmed Ryo, who wore the Armor of Inferno, but was destroyed by the Jewel of Life.
Talpa's weapons are six double-edged swords formed in a circle on his back.
Anubis
Voiced by: Kiyoyuki Yanada (Japanese), Paul Dobson (English)
Anubis, the Dark Warlord of Cruelty (鬼魔将・朱天童子Oni Mashō Shutendōji, lit. 'Ogre Demon General Shutendouji'), was the leader of the Four Dark Warlords at the beginning of the series. Four hundred years ago, he was a warrior named Toshitada Komano (狛俊忠Komano Toshitada), whose ambition and blood-lust made him susceptible to Talpa's influence.
He was the first of the Warlords to fight the Warriors in modern times. He nearly defeated them until the Ancient One intervened. He later appeared to stop Mia and Ully from saving Ryo, and then to stop Ryo from saving Rowen. When he challenged Ryo and Rowen to a battle, he defeated them but could not bring himself to defeat them. Rowen shattered his mask with an Arrow Shockwave, exposing his human face to them. Talpa sensed that Anubis was showing weakness and used Nether Spirits to turn his mind back to the Dynasty. Anubis was saved when Kento defeated the Nether Spirits. The Ancient One then showed Anubis how Talpa regarded him as a tool. Anubis then renounced the Dynasty.
Anubis disappeared after Talpa's first defeat, but he later returned to take on the Ancient One's role as protector. While the Warriors initially distrusted him, Anubis proved himself by aiding them in battle, usually by helping Ryo summon the Inferno Armor. He also met Lady Kayura, whom he recognized as the last living member of the Ancient One's clan and sought to redeem her. He sacrifices himself to free her from the control of Lord Badamon; before his death, he passed on his armor and the Ancient One's staff to her.
Anubis wears the Armor of Cruelty, also known as the Armor of the Ogre (貴力Riki, lit. Noble Power), which represents spring. Its guiding virtue is Chū (忠, Loyalty). His weapon is a kusari-gama and his surekill is Quake With Fear (紅雷閃Kōraisen, lit. 'Red Lightning Flash'), in which he sends his chain into the ground, which then bursts out into the form of several chains.
Anubis' Japanese name, Shutendōji, is a reference to a demon from Japanese folklore, notable for hating beans (as did the YST version of the character).
Cale
Voiced by: Yasunori Matsumoto (Japanese), Richard Newman (English)
Cale, the Dark Warlord of Corruption (悪奴弥守Yami Mashō Anubis, lit. 'Darkness Demon General Anubis'), formerly Kujūro Sasaki (佐々木九十郎Sasaki Kujūro), is the third Warlord to fight the Warriors. He has powers over darkness. He primarily fights Sage of the Halo, who controls light. His armor of Darkness/Corruption (漆黒Shikoku, lit. 'Jet-Black') represents winter and the guiding virtue Kou (考, filial piety), which is changed to Tei (Obedience) in the English dub. His weapons are a Nodachi and claw-like armor spikes. His surekill is Black Lightning Flash (暗黒跳飛斬りAnkoku Chohigiri, lit. 'Darkness Leaping Slash'), where he fires a number of black lasers.
According to The Encyclopedia of YST, if Cale was to use his powers for good, he would be the Eyes for people lost in the darkness. No matter how powerful his enemies may be, he will be persistent and continue to fight.
Dais
Voiced by: Jūrōta Kosugi (Japanese), Matt Smith (English)
Dais, the Dark Warlord of Illusion (幻魔将・螺呪羅Gen Mashō Rajura, lit. 'Phantom Demon General Rajura'), formerly Goro Kurodajiro (黒田次郎五郎Kurodajirō Gorō), is the oldest of the Four Dark Warlords and the fourth Warlord to confront the Warriors. His main opponent is Kento Rei Faun. Dais was the first of the Warlords to confront Anubis when he re-emerged. Anubis tried to sway Dais from evil, but Dais stayed with the Dynasty until Talpa was destroyed for good. His Armor of Illusion/the Spider (夢幻Mugen, lit. Infinity) represents Summer and the guiding virtue Nin (忍, lit. 'to endure'), which is rendered as 'Serenity' in the English dub. It has six Kamas on its back resembling spider legs, which he can extend to any length he sees fit. The Kamas are connected to a single handle attached to his back, which he can remove at any time. He also has a flail on his right gauntlet and a nunchaku on his left. His armor allows him to spin webs and create illusions. His surekill is Web of Deception (投蜘網Tōchimō, lit. 'Throw Spiderweb'), in which he throws his Kamas.
According to The Encyclopedia of YST if Dais were to use his powers for good, he would be able to create peaceful illusions.
Sekhmet
Voiced by: Issei Futamata (Japanese), Ward Perry (English)
Sekhmet (那唖挫Naaza), the Dark Warlord of Venom (幻魔将Doku Mashō, lit. 'Poison Demon General'), formerly Naotoki Yamanouchi (山之内直時Yamanouchi Naotoki), is the second Warlord to fight the Warriors. He has pale skin, purple eyelids, and beady black eyes. He is Cye Mouri's main opponent. His armor is the Armor of the Snake/ Venom (薬師Yakushi, lit. Doctor in archaic Japanese), which represents Autumn and the guiding virtue Tei (梯, Obedience), which is changed to Kou (Piety) in the English dub.
Sekhmet fights with six katanas, which exude a deadly poison that can also cause blindness. He can also move his arms at speeds that allow him to seemingly grow four extra arms. His surekill is Snake Fang Strike (蛇牙剣・六節大蛇Jagaken Rokusetsu Orochi, lit. Snake Fang Sword Six-Segmented Serpent), where he connects his swords together into a whip-like weapon and swings it around before attacking.
According to The Encyclopedia of YST, if Sekhmet were to use his powers for good, he would be able to heal injuries and illnesses. He would also be able to turn venom into medicine.
Lady Kayura
Voiced by: Masako Katsuki (Japanese), Jane Perry (English)
Lady Kayura (迦遊羅Kayura) is the last known member of the Ancient One's clan. For this reason, she was abducted from her home by the Dynasty at a young age. Talpa kept Kayura under his control with a magical amulet worn around her neck and raised her to be his ultimate weapon against the Ronin Warriors. In her first appearance, she battled Ryo and Rowen while the others were captured by the Dynasty. The Warriors were no match for her until Anubis appeared and summoned the Inferno Armor. Ryo and Rowen faced her several times during their quest through the Nether Realm, and were always at a disadvantage unless they could use the other Warlords' armors to summon the Inferno.
When Ryo inadvertently destroyed Kayura's amulet, she remembered her past and ultimately rejected Talpa's control. At Talpa's behest, Badamon, the leader of the Nether Spirits, possessed Kayura's body to keep her evil. This time, Badamon-Kayura conquered the White Armor's near infinite power. Kayura was ultimately released from Badamon's control by Anubis's sacrifice. Kayura took up the Ancient One's staff and Anubis's armor to help fight Talpa in the final battle. After Talpa's ultimate destruction, Kayura and the Warlord returned to the Nether Realm to help rebuild the Dynasty into a benevolent empire.
Kayura is several centuries old, though her physical age is 12 according to official publications. She possesses near-infinite supernatural powers, due to her ancestry as a member of the Clan of the Ancients. She wields the twin sai she called Starlight Swords. Her surekill is called Star Sword Scream (嵐星斬Ranseizan, lit. Storm Star Cut), which summons a massive barrage of stellar energy from the sky. Apparently, the attack had some dependency on water, as she never seemed to use it unless a considerable amount was present. Kayura was also given Anubis' Cruelty armor, and gained the Ancient One's staff, but whether she used them afterwards or not is in question. Because of her new role, Kayura should be referred to as the Ancient One.
In the YST manga, Kayura's Virtue is 'ai' (愛, love). In the Shin Yoroiden Samurai Troopers manga, Kayura serves as the mentor to the new wearer of the Armor of Wildfire. She also appears in the YST novel, Shinkon-Hen, which is about the history of the Ancient One's clan.
Dynasty Soldiers
Voiced by: Minoru Inaba (Japanese), Matt Smith (English)
Dynasty Soldiers (妖邪兵Yōja-hei, lit. Demon Soldiers) are spirits trapped within suits of dark green armor who serve Lord Talpa. They are sometimes known as 'Soldiers of Doom.' They wield various weapons, including chained sickles and spears. The only way to kill a Dynasty Soldier is to decapitate it or slice its armor. Dark smoke rising from the Soldier's armor signifies its death.
The Dynasty Soldiers were initially difficult adversaries for the Warriors. As the Warriors grew stronger, they were able to handle them easier. Their fate after Talpa's final defeat is unknown.
There are no Dynasty Soldiers in the original video animations (OVA). Shikaisen, the main villain of Gaiden, uses Ninja, while both Mukala and Suzunagi of The Legend of the Inferno Armor and Message, respectively, did not use lackeys. The Dynasty Soldiers do not appear in the manga; instead, they are replaced by more appearances of the Dark Warlords and their creatures.
Badamon
Voiced by: Yoshiya Nemoto (Japanese)
Badamon (芭陀悶Badamon) is the Lord of Talpa's Nether Spirits. He's a willing follower of Talpa and is aware of his plans. Badamon first appears to explain the power of the Inferno armor to the Dark Warlords. He decides to trick Ryo into using the Warlords' armor to form Inferno in a plan to control him, but that fails when Ryo's will proves too strong. Badamon later sends the warrior Gash to stop Mia, Ully and Anubis from finding the Jewel of Life. He last appears when he possesses Lady Kayura to keep her under Talpa's control. He captures the Warriors and Warlords and attempts to use their armor to open a gate to the Nether Realm. Anubis, however, breaks free and sacrifices himself to drive Badamon away from Kayura. During the final battle, Badamon and his spirits succeed in opening the door to the Human World, but he's destroyed by Ryo in the Inferno Armor.
Supporting characters
The Ancient One
Voiced by: Norio Wakamoto (Japanese), David Kaye (English)
The Ancient One (迦雄須Kaosu, Kaos) is a powerful mystic and warrior who defeated Talpa during the Warring States period and banished him to the Nether Realm. He created the nine mystical armors from Talpa's discarded armor. He acts as the Ronin Warriors' mentor during their battle with Talpa. He also helped Anubis defect from Talpa by showing him how Talpa regarded him as a tool.
The Ancient One was mortally wounded in battle by Talpa, but as a last act, turned himself into the Warriors' bridge to Talpa's castle. He continued to assist the Warriors in spirit form by destroying Talpa's Nether Spirits and sending the Warriors on quests to unlock their armors' true power. After his death, his role as protector was inherited by Anubis and then by his last living descendant, Lady Kayura.
He always wears a straw hat which hides his face and usually carries a shakujo, a staff with ring-shaped chimes set atop it. The staff is a potent talisman, and is used by both the Ancient and the reformed Anubis to perform feats of magic. It is also used briefly by Mia and Ully. In the flashback to the Ancient defeating Talpa in episode 19 ('Wildfire's Fight Against Fate'), it is revealed that the gold part can be removed from its base and be used as a sword as well, though this has only been seen in the flashback.
The Ancient One's last appearance was in the 3rd OVA, Message. In flashbacks, The Ancient One discovered the sealed Armor of Strata and the ghost-child Suzunagi during World War II. He sensed the girl was filled with hatred and revenge, and felt sorry for her. Nevertheless, he was forced to use the Armor of Strata to drive her away when she attacked him.
Mia Koji
Voiced by: Kaori Kusakabe (Japanese),[3]Lalainia Lindbjerg, Teryl Rothery (Episode 2 only) (English TV Series), Maggie Blue O'Hara (English OVAs).
Mia Koji (ナスティ柳生Nasuti Yagyu) aids the Warriors during their quest against the forces of evil. Not much is known about her past, except that she is half French and half Japanese, and was visiting her grandfather when Talpa's invasion began. Unlike her friends, Mia has no super powers or weapons. However, she is extremely knowledgeable about the mystical armors and various ancient artifacts. She provides vital information to the Warriors and acts as a caretaker for Ully. Over time, Mia becomes like an older sister to them. Mia is 17 years old at the start of the TV series. She is 19 in Gaiden and in her early twenties in The Legend of the Inferno Armor and Message.
She helps the Warriors in The Legend of the Inferno Armor by decoding the Taulagi's ancient language to track down Ryo and Sage. Her last appearance is in Message as she attends the special session of the United Nations General Assembly addressing the Nether Realm's activities. Mia told the assembly she had 'all the answers [they] need,' though the scene cut-away before she spoke further.
Mia's birthday technically falls on two dates, due to an error by Sunrise Animation Studio. According to the YST book, Memorials, her birthday is listen on May 15, 1970; however, all other merchandise lists her birthday on May 28, 1970. The latter date is the more commonly accepted one by both Sunrise and fans.
Mia's Japanese family name, Yagyū is based on the real Japanese clan with the same name. Like most of the characters in the series, many of their surnames are based on historical Japanese clans.
Mia plays the same role in the manga as she does in the anime version of YST. However, her importance is greatly reduced while Ully and White Blaze become major players.
Ully
Voiced by: Kumiko Watanabe (Japanese), Christopher Turner (English)
Ully (山野 純Yamano Jun?) is a young friend of the Ronin Warriors. He is eight-years old in the series. The spelling of his name varies (Yulie being the most common of these) but this particular spelling is commonly used in official magazines such as Animerica.
Ully is first introduced shopping with his parents in the Shinjuku ward of Tokyo. When Talpa's invasion begins, Ully is separated from his parents in the chaos. He later stumbles upon a confrontation between Ryo, White Blaze, and a Dynasty Soldier. He is nearly killed but Mia saves him, the first of many rescues he would endure. Since then, he helps the Warriors with his bravery and cheerful optimism.
Ully becomes the keeper of the Jewel of Life during the second season. His purity and innocence allows him to unlock its powers and destroy Talpa for good.
Ully appears in the last episode of the OVA, Message, as an 11-year-old kendo champion of Sakura Hill Junior High School.
White Blaze
White Blaze (白炎, Byakuen) is a large white tiger that's Ryo Sanada's pet or companion. Ryo claims that he comes from the Himalayas. White Blaze generally travels with Ully and Mia Koji. He often tries to help the Warriors in battle, but he almost always gets swatted aside. Nevertheless, he doesn't hesitate to charge into battle. He is mortally wounded protecting Ryo from Lord Saberstryke. After his defeat, Lord Saberstryke asked his own companion tiger, Black Blaze, to revive White Blaze by merging with him. Afterwards, White Blaze would transform into Black Blaze whenever Ryo summons the Armor of Inferno. It's unclear if this Black Blaze is still White Blaze, but using Black Blaze's power, or Black Blaze himself.
Mukala
Voiced by: Eiji Fukushi (Japanese), Michael Adamthwaite (English)
Mukala (ムカラMukara), also known as Mukala of the Sun, is an African warrior who appears in the OVA Kikôtei Densetsu. He is a warrior of the Taulagi tribe and is Nadia's fiancee. He is also the owner of Black Inferno Armor (黒い輝煌帝Kuroi Kikôtei, lit. Black Sun Emperor), an armor which equals Ryo's Armor of Inferno. Mukala is also capable of fighting the Warriors without his armor. He defeated the Warriors in his first appearance and captured Ryo and Sage. He brought them to his home territory, located in Tanzania, and imprisoned them there.
It was discovered that Mukala's actions were being controlled by the Black Inferno Armor. Its powers were so great that it would destroy the world if it clashed with Ryo's Armor of Inferno. But because of Mukala's position as head warrior and the Taulagi's worship of the Armor, the villagers would not help the Warriors get rid of the Armor. Mukala realized the truth in the last episode when Nadia is killed in the crossfire during his battle with Ryo. He freed himself from the Armor's possession and regained his humanity. Both Armors of Inferno were destroyed once and for all. Nadia was revived and it was assumed they would marry and live happily ever after.
Mukala's weapon is a giant black boomerang with a large blue gem encrusted in its center. It is powerful enough to slice through buildings and pretty much anything that stands in his way. To equip his Armor, he shouts 'Noubezaaya, Iijizuuri, Zuuamaumaa, Muunmi!' Hundreds of energy beings shaped like butterflies wrap themselves around Mukala and transform into the Black Inferno Armor.
Suzunagi
Voiced by: Mitsuki Yayoi (Japanese), Ellen Kennedy, (English)
Suzunagi(すずなぎ)appears in the OVA, Message. She was born in the late Edo Period to a Christian family, who happened to be indirect descendants of The Ancient One's Clan. Her father was a local playwright who ran a theater house, while her mother helped with theater duties. Suzunagi's father wrote a play about five young men wearing magical suits of armors fighting the forces of evil. However, due to certain circumstances (apparently due to them being Christians, or her father speaking out against the Shogun), the Shogun's samurai arrived and set the theater on fire. Suzunagi's father was executed by the samurai, while Suzunagi and her mother were killed in the fire.
Suzunagi's spirit wandered throughout the centuries, unable to rest until the armors were destroyed. She learned all she could about her father's manuscript and believed the armors were evil. She encountered The Ancient One during the 1940s (more precisely, World War II) as he prepared to unseal the Armor of Strata. Suzunagi tried to prevent the Ancient One from unsealing the Armor, but the Ancient One unsealed it anyway and used its powers to drive her off.
Years later, Suzunagi appeared again, this time as an adult with increased power and determination. She went after the Ronin Warriors, the people mentioned in her father's play, and captured them one by one by using their own deepest fears and strengths against them. She created her own set of armors to hold them captive. She wanted them to summon their ultimate armor, the White Inferno, and use its power to purge the world from pain and sorrow. Suzunagi slowly realized that they suffered because of the armors. The Warriors helped Suzunagi free herself from her inner demons and reunite her with her mother. In return, Suzunagi gave them new armors free from Talpa's influence. She also helped them realize that being Ronin Warriors was their choice, rather than their destiny.
Runa
Voiced by: Eriko Hara (credited as Eri Kouno) (Japanese), Jillian Michaels (English)
Runa (ルナ), also spelled Luna, appears in the OVA, Gaiden (Side Story). Runa is a 14-year-old American who lives in New York. Her only known family member is her older brother. She is a brash and hot-headed young girl who is ready to take action when necessary. She isn't afraid to speak her mind, but she's also willing to admit she's made a mistake.
When her brother is murdered by an unknown killer wearing Sage's Armor of Halo, Runa immediately investigates. The other Ronin Warriors went to New York to look for Sage. Runa sees Rowen find the body of the photographer who took the first photographs of the killer. She assumed he was the killer, but eventually realized her mistake to help the Warriors track down their real enemy, Shikaisen, and rescue their friends.
Runa tried to avenge her brother's death by attacking Shikaisen. The sorcerer mortally wounds her and she dies in Ryo's arms. In the original Japanese version, her last words to Ryo were inaudible, but in the English dub, she tells Ryo how glad she was to have met him.
Runa showed much interest in Ryo. She was attacked by one of Shikaisen's henchmen in a Los Angeles cemetery, but was saved by Kento. However, she still shouted for Ryo, which bewildered Kento. According to Sunrise, Runa and Ryo would have developed deeper feelings for one another if she had survived the OVA's events.
While Runa doesn't have any magical armor or superpowers, she does use a knife. Under normal circumstances she is pretty skilled at using it, as she was able to catch the Warriors off guard the first time she encountered them in Uncle Chin's restaurant in Chinatown, New York. Her speed is noted to be quite remarkable for a human.

Ronin Warriors – Being of the Mystical Armors
By Tayla Drago
Note: 'Just so you know…I wanted to do this for a long time now since I grew up watching this Anime series so much on Cartoon Network/Toonami back then, it never gets old to love the five super heroes. Ryo being the hotness Anime male character of all in the series! I still like Kento, Cye, Rowen, and Sage to still be cute. :D Anyways, I don't owe the characters from the series itself – I do with this made up female character name, Minako Hura. With the Virtue of Love, the Armor of Diamond 'a red type of diamond color', her weapon is her black and pink Scythe, and her attack name was known as the Shard of Crystal Cyclone. Cool huh? Along with her mysterious of a pink pet fairy-like dragon name Kero with some powers from within this type of strange creature. So yeah, from the series 'might be a bit of a change for the better', please enjoy my story. With Minako to try to find out about herself to be different but not alone, she has new friends to aid, help them saving the world, and finding true love. Again – I want to do this so badly so here we go.'
Chapter # 1 – Minako with a Pure Heart
As dark storm clouds descend on Toyama, Mia Koji and her grandfather Mr. Koji worry that this means the end of the world.
Elsewhere, a young girl was having strange visions of one flashback after another. From a woman looking scared and mess up, something evil was coming, someone attacking a group of birds to save someone, a voice was heard out of nowhere, and such to go into the light for this girl to wake up from the sensible feeling to be a dream, but that was far from it for this girl. It could've been something else to remember something, but she was having trouble in to forgetting on what it was.
A girl then wakes up in the woods to be in a middle of nowhere; along with a cute looking fox type of fairy pink and he was a dragon creature calling himself Kero, the Red-Hot Dragon. Or that's what his human owner name Minako Hura calls him that to be living alone with no family, friends, or anyone else but Kero. With long red hair, bright red eyes, wearing a white hat on her head, long purple-like sweater, long black pants, and brown boots. For she's good taking care of herself, fighting well, a very sweet person, having trouble understanding other people, and all she wanted to do was to find out on who she was.
'Ah, man…' she said to try waking up. 'That dream again.'
Kero then flies up in front of Minako to cheer her up by giving her another gem 'for she loves collecting them even diamonds' to be her hobby even for this one, but it was far different on what her little friend has found.
'Oh, thank you, Kero. We should keep going. Come on.'
And off they went deep within the woods, for little did Minako notices yet, for Kero does of the danger that was sure to come in their world real soon. Just who was the mysterious little pink-like dragon creature appearing for one lonesome and mysterious female girl? She hopes to find those answers real soon.
'(Just who am I…?)' she asks herself while looking at the odd diamond in her hands.
Meanwhile…A young man named Ryo and his tiger White Blaze mysteriously appears in the street, nearly causing a young boy named Ully to be injured while skateboarding. Mia and her grandfather believe that Ryo is one of the Ronin Warriors and that there is perhaps hope for the world. Mia rushes off to meet Ryo, but he is surrounded by police. Meanwhile, the storm clouds move in and all power cuts out, leaving cars stranded and causing a helicopter to crash. As glass shatters, all over the city from a massive lightning strike, everyone but Ryo runs in fear and Ully gets separated from his parents. Minako and Kero could sense it all to be happening from the forest and all the way back into the woods, as the little dragon growls 'for he makes a lot of noises and he cannot talk' to feel out the danger.
'What? Dark clouds, but it's not… (So why am I feeling that something's very wrong here?)'
As Minako was very confused, she then spots a woman in white and light blue to be watching. For she goes up to her and soon be walking away to start follow the lonely stranger.
'Hey, wait! Where are you going?'
Minako goes after this mysterious woman as Kero goes with her too. Ryo calls out for the Dynasty to fight him and a Dynasty soldier shows up and the two battle. Ryo battles the soldier with the aid of White Blaze, which proves difficult and Ully, who comes across the battle, is nearly killed before Mia saves him. Ryo and White Blaze are defeated and Ryo is about to be killed when another Ronin Warrior, Rowen, protects him. The other Ronin Warriors, Cye, Sage and Kento also arrive to fight.
The Warriors summon their full armor and fight the soldier, but don't work as a team and are therefore unable to defeat him. He takes Ully and Mia hostage, trapping them in a television screen where they feel every injury he receives. The soldier beats up Ryo until he calls up his ultimate attack, 'Flare Up Now', destroying the soldier and accidentally blasting the building behind him in half. Mia and Ully are set free and the Dark Warlords and Talpa, the leaders of the Dynasty introduce themselves, sure in their victory over the Ronin Warriors who they see as weak while a giant castle appears in the sky. A whole new beginning of a world that needed to be saved, as Ryo felt another living being to be close by to go check it out to be the same as he and the other four guys. Soon White Blaze, Ully, and Mia follow the five from behind as Mia to tell that there might be some hope of the whole Ronin Warriors to be saving Earth against Talpa and the Evil Dynasty's.
'(It can't be…)' Mia thought of something to herself. '(Could there be a sixth one? How's this possible? I must see it for myself on wherever is they're going right away!)'
While back in the woods…Minako finally catches up to the mysterious beautiful woman who shows up out of nowhere to be watching the dark clouds from below to be calm and quiet about it leaving Minako and Kero to be confused on her odd behavior.
'Ah…Excuse me?' Minako tries calling out to the odd woman. 'Miss?'
She then turns around to see Minako calling out to her, only for her to be smiling instead of worrying on what was happening down there.
'Oh, I'm so sorry. You wanted something from me?'
Minako and Kero both looked at each other to be confused about the strange woman just acting so calm-like about everything to try helping her out.
'Huh?' Minako goes along with the whole thing. 'Oh, no. It's not that. I was wondering what are you doing in a place like this?'
'Nothing.' The strange woman answers. 'Just watching on things, scary, isn't it?'
Really? That's all she could say to Minako to be more worried than she was? That just cold.
'What does it look like to you? I don't want to know.' Said Minako. 'I don't even want to know on where that building came from!'
Look at the dark clouds only to surround the city and nothing else is a bit freaky, to also be seeing Talpa's tower too.
'It's all as the story's been told.' The woman said.
'Wait, what story?'
Minako didn't know about it at all, but Kero somehow did. She then reaches the strange woman's hand out to walk and talk together as she could tell them everything about the horrible event that was going on.
'Come. I'll explain everything to you.'
So Minako takes the woman's hand as they start walking down and half way out of the woods together 'and keeping safe from the danger' to learn a lot about the end of the world to come centuries later. Kero follows to try to stay close to her 'always' – Minako finds a strange looking dragon that she saves the pink dragon and for him to protect her in return. Not just for her as a pet, but as a friend.
'(I feel like I shouldn't, but…)' Minako had to know what was going on to learn more about herself too. 'If you say so, then okay.'
And so, she does tell the two on everything…I might as well try making the long story short for the rest of you until we see the rest for later. Long ago – an evil Dynasty ruler of a demon from Japan from the old time for it was sealed away by someone to give out the powers to use someone against this event that was going on today, which it did all came true in real life; it all makes sense for the weirdness to be happening right now for Minako to be seeing the proof up close and within the woman's words. Looks like Kero knew that this day would come one day.
'Now do you understand?' said the mysterious woman.
Sort of and kind of lost about this whole mess still from Minako's reaction on her face.
'Well…I…um…Sort of do…' Minako said to be left speechless. 'All of this to have some group of boys to save the world with some armor-like powers, to stop this so call evil. That's something else to be the only way to save the day, huh? So much.'
'But that's not the only thing that'll aid them to defeat this evil.'
Looks like there was more about it besides having five boys, though? But Kero already knows about all of this.
'Huh? And what's that?' ask Minako.
The woman goes up to her to making Minako fall on to something of a leaf to get on her hand out of nowhere.
'It's a pure heart to aid the heroes, such as yourself is one of them but different.'
No way…Minako was? But how was this possible? Even for her to understand it at all.
'Excuse me?' she was lost. 'But I'm just a simple girl with no memories, but only to wake up in the woods with Kero here to care for. I'm no super hero.'
The woman didn't think so.
'But it is you. And when it happens, there's hope to save this world yet…Or you try to.'
That confuses Minako there for Kero soon sense from the odd woman that she wasn't normal at all.
'What do you mean try to…? What?!' she starts freaking out. 'What is this?!' Minako then felt something crawling all over her arm to spread like a tree branch and couldn't get it off her. Not good…!
'So sorry, but this is the price to pay for getting in Master Talpa's way for me to devour you…Before the prophecy can be done!'
The woman goes from being weird, odd looking, mysterious, and then her voice changes when she turns into a huge spider-like female type of demon who hungers to eat anyone once they're trap inside of her plant-like pod to savor the flavor of human flesh. Dynasty's nasty female type of monsters on their side known as Archana-Cons 'or Con for short'. Once seal inside a strange looking pod of theirs, they'll be able to eat their victims whole to become powerful like Minako will soon be as she screams in terror. This allow Ryo to hear someone was in trouble to rush to her rescue. Along with the other members as well. Kero tries saving her, but the Con creature pushes him a side to hit the rocky walls and was out cold.
'No! Kero!' Minako begins to worry and couldn't break free from the growing pod. 'Let me out, you monster!'
Looks like she won't since this Con beast will complete with her task for Talpa by any means to rule the Earth.
'He's no concern of mine the way you are…' she said. 'Once I eat you, my dear, there will be one to aiding these so call Ronin Warriors. After a good meal, Master Talpa will praise me with power to aid my other kind to eat the rest of the humans one by one. I'll make an army for myself!'
Minako hated the idea that could happen if she doesn't get of the mess in time and save Kero. She's not much of trying to get out much for others to be surrounded, but she cares for the lives of others without violence deep down.
'All this…to stop me and the five heroes…? You think it'll make a difference…?' she asks Con. 'Like I'm a hero to the boys, I'm just nothing unlike they are to live their lives.'
The pod was growing faster to trap Minako from inside while trying to break free and she was panicking at the same time.
'Oh? But I don't think you're more than nothing, my dear. In fact, you'll be taster enough for me to eat!'
Before the Con would be ready to eat Minako, she was stop to move away when both Ryo and Sage coming in from above to try stabbing the demon down to move away quickly after that. Saving Minako in time for White Blaze to be next to her as Kero pointed out that there was someone trapped; soon Kento, Cye, and Rowen join with the other two by surrounding the demon as Mia and Ully 'this time' both hide in the bushes to stay out of danger.
'Someone call up the pest control, because we got ourselves a very Dynasty looking one that needs to be exterminated!' Kento said in making a joke there.
'Kento, please. This is no time to be fooling around here.' Said Cye.
'What? I'm Just making a joke.'
The Con was ready for battle again the Ronin Warriors for Mia to watch the rest this time and Ully to from loving the guys as the real type of super heroes before his very eyes.
'So…I take it that you five are the Ronin Warriors are here to stop us, the Dynastys?' ask the demon. 'Not unless I stop all of you first besides Master Talpa's weak henchmen, only to win by luck. Nothing else.'
With Kero trying to break Minako free from the pod, she was hearing and seeing what was going on for the heroes that was foretold to be very real.
'Won by luck, you say? Ugly, you don't know the half of it…' Ryo said to introducing himself next. 'I'm Ryo, of the Wildfire, I seek Virtue.'
Soon Kento, Cye, Rowen, and Sage say the same thing to as they all introduce themselves to Con.
'My name is Kento, of Hard Rock. Justice is what I seek.'
'Cye is my name, of the Torrent. And I seek Trust.'
'Call me Rowen, of the Strata. For I only seek Life on my end.'
'And I'm Sage, of the Halo. For I seek is Wisdom.'
As White Blaze was roaring right next to Con, the five say this last part together as a team.
'Together, we the Ronin Warriors will save this world and destroy the Evil Dynastys too!'
Kero then made some noises for White Blaze to point out of someone was trap from the pod done by Con herself to go and rescue Minako, by getting the Dynasty Demon out of the way first before she eats an innocent girl.
'A dragon?' Rowen was confused. 'Am I seeing things or is that really a dragon in front of us?'
'I don't think we're dreaming right now, Rowen, it is very real.' Said Sage.
As the others were surprise to be seeing Kero being the real thing, Minako tries talking inside the handmade pod.
'Hello? Anyone…? Get me out of here!'
It's battle strategy time to save a life against evil, so planning is important to do.
'Forget about the dragon, I think it's telling us that someone's in danger by that thing's doing.'
'You're right!' all the four guys said together at the same time.
Ryo was right, they see that for Minako to be screaming from the danger that she was in. Like Con will give up her snack against the five to be facing against.
'Oh, if you want this woman back, you can…Once I'm done eating her whole!' said the demon to be laughing in madness.
'You…sicko!' Kento got mad a Con.
Kento then goes head to head against Con to be fast, quick on her eight legs to move away from the punch and kicks, to try stabbing him. Ouch! Still, it gives White Blaze the upper hand from behind to try biting and scratching the demon down; she was hurt but she wasn't going down to make her skin harder to break as Rowen comes flipping from above to hit her in the face. Long enough for those three, Sage, and Cye join in to keep Con distracting while Ryo goes and rescues Minako with Kero's help for both Mia and Ully to be seeing this.
'Ryo! Hurry!' she said to him. 'This is your chance! Go and save that girl while the others keep that Dynasty creature busy!'
'Save the girl!' and Ully too. 'You can do it!'
Good thing that they told Ryo to do so for Kero and him try breaking the pod before Minako's entire body's absorbed from within it; and hopefully it'll be long enough while Kento, Cye, Rowen, Sage, and White Blaze kept Con busy. She was fast, hard to break from her body, her arms are sharp, creates acid spray from her mouth, and she can avoid kicks and such, even weapons that the boys throw at her.
'Hey! Anyone in there?!' Ryo asks Minako.
She hears something to try kicking and punching her way out to be moving a lot.
'Huh? Hello? Is someone there? Please give me out!' she said. 'Kero!'
Kero started to breath fire all over the pod to try getting it to melt and to Ryo's surprise to be saying for a little strange looking dragon, 'he was good'. Allowing Ryo to break open the pod with his bare hands to finally getting Minako out in time. The little dragon was happy to have his friend back safe and sound.
'Wow…You're a girl?' Ryo was surprised.
'Of course, I am…' Minako then sees the action was still going on White Blaze as it was a real white tiger to start panicking. 'AH! Is that a real white tiger?! And there's a woman who's a monster! Ah, man…! What's going on here?!'
Not the best to be saying hello just yet after getting rescued for Kero to not blame her for it at all.
'Are you going to be all right-?' Before Ryo could ask Minako, she just flips out.
'Don't touch me!' Minako soon ducks and hides from the danger that was going on right now to kept on saying 'I'm a sleep' repeatedly. She then started to glow up for her clothes to change into a sub-armor but much different on her appearances this time than the five boys having five different Mystical Armors.
'Mia, look!' Ully points out to Mia. 'That girl has an armor too like they do, but much different!'
Once Mia sees that, the legends that she heard from are all true. A Pure Hearted person to lead the Ronin Warriors to victory against Talpa and the Evil Dynastys.
'No way…!' surprised Mia. '(It can't be…Grandfather might be right, I may have found the Pure Heart of the Ronin Warriors herself, the Armor of Diamond who seeks out Love is this woman. How else would her special sub-armor appear out of nowhere? And that dragon too…It must be true then.)'
Kero then pointed out to Minako on what she was wearing next. From her long hair in a ponytail, wearing long black and red gloves on her arms, a tank top like from the top, a belt around her waist, a choker-like necklace around her neck, to also be showing the skirt of her shorts too, and long boots as well.
'Oh, what now…? How did I get in this outfit? Now I know that it has to be a bad dream!'
But before Ryo could try helping Minako out, he sees a powerful spray of acid type was about to hit them, he rushes in to save her in time.
'Look out!' he said.
Lucky to duck on the ground to melt a tree instead, for Minako now knows that she wasn't dreaming.
'Okay, I guess it's no dream!'
Knowing this, Kero made a type of sound that Con was still fine to still be fighting again leaving the other four to strike after White Blaze tries to attack again to be thrown back from a web of hers to be all tied up. In anger, she won't stop until she kills them for Talpa as a order; for Kento tries to whack her to try fighting back again, as Cye tries using his weapon to hold her down, to Rowen shooting his arrows at her legs, and then Sage tries stabbing her with his sword…Only to get from getting melted to the ground by Con's acid sprays and then pin under like quick sand with no way out.
'Ah! I can't move!' said Rowen.
'Me either!' and Sage as well.
'Us too!' along with both Kento and Cye.
Ryo had to do something by using his new attack to protect his friends as he tells Minako to stay safe.
'Stay put, okay? We'll protect you.'
He goes into battle for Minako was confused on why they were doing this of the whole fairy tale that was very real.
'Protect…Me…? But who will protect them?' she asks Kero about it.
Not good, as Con got her first victory to try cutting them down by doing some on the tree branches with her bare claws, for Ryo jumps in to use his twin katanas of his attack 'Flare Up Now' to try burning the demon, but it fails for she uses her armor-like spikes to protect Con from the fire with no effected; to make Mia and Ully worry about them even more, the same with both Minako and Kero to watch in horror.
'What?!' shock Ryo. 'It didn't work?!'
Con then uses one of her big claws to grab hold of Ryo's sword, to try using the other to cutting himself free as she uses her legs to push him to the ground hard and pinned down too. He couldn't break free or grab his weapons back for Con had the upper edge now for the others couldn't get out as well.
'Fools!' argued the Dynasty demon. 'Since all of you have ruined my meal, I shall devour you all instead! Starting with your red leader…'
No matter what Ryo did to try kicking Con off him, her spikes tries holding down his armor even more for Kento, Cye, Rowen, Sage, Mia, and Ully to try calling out to him for White Blaze to be roaring…And then Kero makes a flight right at Con's face to try stopping her in time before Minako's eyes.
'Ah! Kero, wait! What are you doing?!'
The dragon smiles to be making a cute sound and by tell Minako that the story was all true and about her, in to doing something to try stopping this creature for good.
'Hey! You little-! Get off me!' Con argued to try getting Kero off her face no matter what she tries to free Ryo.
For all of this as Minako was watching it all was very real to her – from being saved, protected, they were fighting back, a real-life thing to be fight, save the world, and such…She begins to realize that this was really happening to not just stand by and get scared; well at first maybe but she won't be alone to find out more about herself with some help besides Kero. Saving the Ronin Warriors, White Blaze, Mia, an Ully on what she had within her of the strange armor, seeing a gem to be some type and part of the armor of hers to hold in her hands.
'(These…These boys…those bystanders, the tiger, and Kero too…They're fighting without stopping until that thing's dead. If that's true…!)' Minako then becomes serious as her gems began to glow and her sub-armor-like clothing too. 'Then destiny is destiny for me and them against those…Monsters…! Then I shall fight back to be very real here! Bring to their future and with the power of love!'
From Minako Hura started to glow up all over, a symbol on her forehead started to show a bright pink in Japanese that stands for 'love'. For Mia was right! As Kero knew that this would happen to her, Ryo, the other boys' 'for they were speeches', White Blaze, along with Ully and Mia were amazed to see another alley, and long enough to stop Con before she could break free as Mia tells Minako on what she must do next.
'Listen to me!' Mia calls out to Minako. 'That's your special type of armor! Quickly, shout out 'Armor of Diamond! To Arms!' It'll change you into defeating Talpa's minion! Trust me!'
'Hurry up and transform!' shouted Ully as well.
They were right, for Minako gives it her all to be the first time. Though she was scared to be looking at them, she still gives it her all.
'(Me? Transform?)' she goes for it. 'OK then…' she does it. 'ARMOR OF DIAMOND! TO ARMS!'
As she does the same as the other five do it when transforming, from stands, seeing her armor 'sort of like one', lots of crystal-like shards come popping out to be covered in her surroundings. And then it was suit up time…
Minako's hair turns from long red and then to pink this time, with a black hair pin on it with some hairbands a bit, with long black gloves on both of her arms with pink straps, black and white stripe tank top, with a pink belt around her waist with a pouch too, a black long tail that was part of her suit-like armor, with black shorts, also having black with pink stripes on her long boots, and has a black and pink-like scythe to be so huge and very long within her hands to use no problem from the weight.
All the transformation to be dancing like a ballerina when doing it. Showing Minako's new look and such to everyone else's eyes to have a new alley by their side, for she swings her scythe around to be holding it back on top of her back to be ready for battle.
'No way…! Another Ronin Warrior like us is a girl?!' surprised Ryo.
'You're kidding me!' same with Kento, Cye, Rowen, and Sage.
With White Blaze and Kero were amazed as well, as Con tries cutting Kero down to move away now to see that another hero has arrived.
'Enough! I shall devour you all who stands in our way!' so says Con.
Soon Minako steps in to be using her Scythe on to the grounds to make something from one swing to unleash.
'Devour this!'
One swing to be hitting the solid grounds, it creates lots of diamond or crystal-like red shards to be popping out to send Con flying to the ground and hurt from the legs. But tries spraying the acid at her to go running back and forth to mess with her mind long enough to jump and kick her way at the demon to finally getting hurt and crushed her spikes to tiny pieces off her body. And another one of the shards frees White Blaze from the webs as Kento, Cye, Rowen, and Sage are also out of the hole too with her to stop the acid from the demon.
'I knew it.' Mia said for the others to hear her explain about the new member. 'This girl is the Pure Heart who guides and heals the Ronin Warriors in battle like this one, she is part of a priest from long ago with the power of the diamond as the red symbol of love and the weapon to crush the evil who she tries to protect from one swing. The stories are all true. We have all five of the Ronin Warriors and the sixth one as their source of power by their side.'
She was right for Kero to agree with Mia's saying too as Ryo was left speechless.
'Hang on…This girl is part of us…?' he said. 'She's different from the rest of us.'
Con wasn't too please to not go down without beating her enemies for her master.
'What?! Another one?! Impossible!'
Minako then shows her true colors as a new hero to the boys in a group.
'It's never impossible when you know the differences between a dream and things to be very real, before your eyes. You and your demons will never rule our planet with myself and the Ronin Warriors here to stop you. No one will die, get hurt, or bring darkness on my watch either. For I am…Minako, of the Diamond. As I seek for Love for protecting the ones who are innocent with pure hearts. And for that, prepare to be crystallized, foil Dynasty creature!'
Nice into saying 'for some super heroes to say to their enemies' for Minako nailed it.
'Don't you dare muck our name, you little-! DIE!' cries out Con.
Not good! Incoming Dynasty charging at Minako for she was just standing there for Ryo to be worried.
'Get out of there, Minako!'
As Kero flies next to Minako's side to powering her up of her gems, she creates a powerful wind from her scythe to do something amazing next. She starts to run really fast from the wind of hers, creates more diamonds from her moment, making clones of hers to distract Con long enough for the real her to stab the demon from behind to freeze up like the diamond of hers was made of ice. Nicely done!
'What…?' shock Con who couldn't escape. 'Why…! Why can't I move?!'
Minako got her weapon right in front of Con to finish the Dynasty demon off with one of her powerful attacks.
'Once you're hit, that's where I seal your fate.' She then creates mirrors surrounding the demon to make something from all of them into one. 'Shard of Crystal Cyclone!'
From her creating that attack, lots of tiny diamond shards coming shoot out from the mirrors to hit Con all over until she turns to a statue and breaks in to tiny pieces all over the ground to be hearing her final cries of her death.
'No! No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Forgive me, Master Talpa! Long live the Dynasty-!'
That thing was no more now. For Minako has done it for both Mia and Ully to be cheering with joy, same thing with Kero to be flying around, and White Blaze roaring as well.
'Well done! She did it!' said Mia to be happy for another victory.
'Alright!' Ully cheered.
As Minako sees herself from a reflection from a lake to see her new look, Kero looks at her to let her know that it was for real on what she has gotten herself in that can't be done.
'(Is this really me…?)' she was speechless and confused. 'I actually stopped a monster and saved so many lives…I did it, Kero, but this is so much to handle.'
But she won't be alone anymore for Kento loved it, as Cye was amazed, same thing with Sage, Rowen was loss in words, but not as much as Ryo was to be staring at Minako and couldn't look away from her one bit. She then goes down on the floor to try catching her breath and felt light headed after that fight she just had.
'Hey, you going to be okay, Minako?' Ryo asks her first. 'I mean, thank you for saving us and all…'
'No kidding! That was really cool!' said Sage.
'Glad to have you on our team.' And Cye.
Speechless was going on for this woman…
'I…um…um…Ah, man…!'
With Minako seeing all of this, she was happy but she was shy to be around five boys, a little boy, a girl, and a real white tiger in front of her…Soon she faints to be tired for her first fight, but will be fine after resting up for almost getting eaten alive from a Dynasty Demon. As Ryo catches her in time to carry Minako back in town to hide out for a while until they would know on what they should do next. Good idea.
'Oh, no!' Mia was worried.
'Don't worry, she just tired.' Said Ryo. 'Who knew that another member would be a woman. A cute one at that.'
'I know, right?' ask Rowen. 'Such a surprising turn of events for us.'
Kento looks at Minako's sleepless body to find her cute, long with Cye, Rowen, and Sage too. Looks like the five boys are seeing another mysterious girl to save for the first time, huh? And then Minako saved them Now one question that needed to be made until the next episode to come, and that was this coming from Kento to be asking this to the others…
'So, um…Can we keep her?'
Yep, something like that. I hope you guys like it for me to be making more from the series to be a bit different, you know? Enjoy. Ronin Warriors fans, forever!
