# Seven Swordsman Shiro: New Agee

New Agee was originally designed to be the revamped version of the original Seven Swordsman series. It is very similar to the finalized Seven Swordsman Shiro, but a few issues with it caused it to be discontinued for a new and even better storyline.

# Episode List

## Episode 1

After what seems to be a normal life, the protagonist Shiro's best friend warns him of impending doom: a group known as the Winged Killers have targeted the town they live in: Aurora, Colorado. The next day, Shiro's older sister Tohka Natashi leaves him to pursue a career in cooking, leaving him all alone. Later that day, a Winged Killer attacks the school. Caught in conflict with the Winged Killer is Shiro, Liliana (Shiro's other close friend), and Akito. Akito uses his own life to protect Shiro, who loses his right eye to the Winged Killer. Filled with fury from hurting her friend, Liliana conjures the legendary artifact Masuta, a white blade with the ability to reflect any projectile back to her assailant, and battles the Winged Killer.The battle ends with the Winged Killer almost killing Liliana, but she is saved by her teacher Kiyo-Sensei, who stabs the killer in the back.

## Episode 2

The next day, Shiro awakes in a hospital with an eye patch covering his right eye. After getting the synopsis from the doctor, Shiro exits the hospital with Liliana and Kiyo-Sensei. Outside he tells them about what Akito told him a couple days ago. The two are surprised, and Shiro convinces Kiyo-Sensei to warn the town about the incoming danger. While she did that, Shiro and Liliana head back to their apartments, where Shiro witnesses a news reporter be brutally murdered on television. This inspires him to meet with Liliana and her parents immediately, where they head to where the rest of the town also heads: the train yard. As they make their way there, Winged Killers tear up the town around them. When they reach the train station, a large amount of people are in line to aboard the train that leads outside of town. Defending them from the Winged Killers are a group of armored girls known as the AAWK. Everything goes well until the train driver tells Shiro the train is filled to the brim, then takes off soon after. The AAWK girls are also overran by Winged Killers, and things only get worse when a shiny Winged Killer wielding a golden sword, who goes by the name Acrisius, appears and murders several people, including Liliana's parents, with his extendable golden sword. Shiro and Liliana believe they are screwed until Kiyo-Sensei appears and tells them to run. They do just that, leaving Aurora once and for all. Liliana and Shiro decide to head to the nearby town Englewood right after. During their walk, Liliana explains what she knows about the AAWK, Kiyo-Sensei, and herself to Shiro. After quite a bit of walking, they find an inn to stay the night and have an r-moment together. The next day, they head for Englewood again, but an overzealous Liliana rushes out of Shiro's sight. As he catches up to her, he encounters a Winged Killer, who threatens both Liliana, who has passed out beside him, and Shiro. Shiro overcomes his fear and deals with the Winged Killer by removing his eye patch, revealing his blood-red right eye. The Winged Killer flees, and Shiro carries Liliana all the way to Englewood.

## Episode 3

Liliana awakens as Shiro arrives at the Englewood entrance. They are both greeted by a security guard, who scans them with a device that tells whether they are a Winged killer or not. Liliana makes it through the scan with ease, but the scanner breaks when it scans Shiro. The security guard lets them inside anyways. Inside, Liliana leads Shiro to the AAWK secret base, where they are greeted by Kiyo-Sensei upon entry. She has Shiro join the AAWK, mainly due to their lack of members. She tells them the rest of has AAWK died. This causes Liliana to have a panic attack, so Kiyo-Sensei takes Shiro to the next room and tells him that the Winged Killers are actually Angels and Demons, that she is a fallen Angel, and that Shiro is half Demon and half Angel, and that he is destined to be the next Seven Swordsman. Being too much for him to handle, Kiyo-Sensei knocks Shiro out. The next day, Shiro awakens to Kiyo-Sensei telling him that he's going to school. He questions the idea, but agrees to it. Shiro and Liliana then go to school, where their teacher is Kiyo-Sensei. After school, during lunch break, Shiro and Liliana decide to sit under a sakura tree and chat. During their chat, Shiro says something he immediately regrets, causing Liliana to leave. They don't speak to each other for the rest of the school day. After school, Liliana goes on ahead while Shiro sulks about his action. That is until a student named James encourages him to chase after Liliana. He agrees and does just that. Meanwhile, Liliana is confronted by three bullies. After their perverted remarks to her, she remembers another time she was bullied. When she was younger, three similar boys also bullied her, but this time on a playground. They beat her up until young Shiro comes and saves her. Like history repeating itself, Shiro comes to her aid again, scaring away the bullies with his right eye, which has the ability to send multiple images of corpses into the brains of those who look into it. Afterwards, Shiro and Liliana make up, then they head to the AAWK base together.

After wanting to be his friend, Shiro, Liliana, and Emi all sit under the sakura tree and eat lunch that was delivered to them by Kiyo-Sensei. After eating, Shiro and Liliana ask Emi a variety of questions. She answers them all dishonestly. After school, the three walk together. As they walk, Shiro and Liliana convince Emi to stay with them at the AAWK base. Soon Shiro notices the same three bullies from the day before beating up someone in an alleyway. He goes to stop them, finding out their victim was James! Shiro distracts the bullies by having them beat him up while James escapes. He continues to be pummeled until Liliana and Emi show up. Emi wields the legendary artifact Tenshi, a rapier, and deals with the bullies by putting them to sleep using Tenshi's secret power. They all head back to the AAWK afterwards, where they sleep for the rest of the day. At the end of another day of school, Shiro, Liliana, and Emi meet with Kiyo-Sensei at the back of the school. They all enter a bus and Kiyo-Sensei drives them to a hill that overlooks the ruined town of Aurora. She then leads Shiro into a forest, which leads to a clearing. Shiro enters the clearing. It is a garden with the legendary artifact Saigo no Nozomi in the center of it. Shiro tries to pull the sword out, but it causes him to black out. Inside his mind, the Saigo no Nozomi speaks to Shiro. It then challenges Shiro to test his capability, bringing him very close to death. Shiro passes the test however, choosing the element wind to represent him, and becomes the seventh Seven Swordsman. Shiro awakens in the bus with his head on Liliana's lap.

# Issues

This SSS was supposed to be a better and expanded version of the original Seven Swordsman Shiro, except with new original characters, weapons, and storylines. The issues occurred with the story resembling length anime too much, leading to many problems in the future. Each chapter, known as an episode in this story, was about 3000 words long, and with the original goal of 777 chapters, the story would eventually get bland over time. This became a huge issue when the author began Season 2, which has historically been a dull and uneventful arc in the plot line. The author also wanted to move more away from the original SSS story, revamping it into almost a completely new story rather than a remake.
