The five teenage Warriors, who are Earth's only bastion against the evil Lord Talpa, have been scattered and reunited with their associated elements. Ryo (fire), who was revived by the magma within Mt. Fuji, reawakens Cy (water), Halo (light), and Kento (stone) with some help from Mia, but they've yet to find Rowen. As each Warrior revives, they all gain strength and their bond deepens, enabling them to escape the poisons and illusions of Talpa's demonic henchmen. The banners and cherry-blossom petals that appear when the Warriors transform through the power of their magical samurai armor give the show the feeling of a maleSailor Moon.
