Ronin Warriors - Warriors Reunited (Vol. 3)
Legendary Armour Samurai Troopers(1989), in which five teenagers fighting in magic armor form Earth's only bastion against the evil Lord Talpa, was calledRonin Warriorswhen it aired in syndication in the United States (1995). Ryo and his three comrades realize that the missing Rowan is trapped, orbiting in space: they have to rescue him before Talpa's henchmen destroy him, as the quintet must fight as a unit. In this struggle--and others--the Warriors are aided by a mysterious monk whose radiant staff defeats Talpa's powers. Ryo is stunned to discover that Talpa's lieutenant Anubis is a human, and that he seeks "a fair and glorious duel." These stiffly animated adventures play a like cross betweenSailor MoonandDragon Ball Z. The disc includes two versions of each episode:Ronin Warriorsdubbed in English andLegendary Armourin Japanese. Rated 13 Up: Considerable violence, grotesque imagery.--Charles Solomon
