## Biography

An ancient empire, called the Zabun Empire, have been awakened and plan to gather eight legendary swords to awaken their lord. The only two members, Fangerk and Aquamarine, put a small anchor into a fountain, pour green liquid on it, and then it starts to smoke. When the smoke clears away, Ikari Turtle is born. Fangerk heads out with Ikari Turtle, along with their minions, the Gyojin Soldiers, to town to look for them. Once they arrive at a nearby town, Ikari Turtle ask Fangerk if he even knows where the swords are. Fangerk, having no idea where the swords really are but not wanting Ikari Turtle to know, tells him that he'll give the orders when he comes up with an idea. After a while, Fangerk decides to ask the humans and if they don't know, they'll cause trouble. As they start to scare off people, a young man named Takeru, and his friends find them there. Takeru tries to fight off Gyojin Soldiers in order to protect his friends, but he struggles fighting against them. Fortunately, Takeru had a medallion that he discovered with him that unlocks his true potentional and manages to fight off the Gyojin Soldiers. When Fangerk and Ikari Turtle confront him, an arm gauntlet appears on Takeru’s arm and he places the medallion in, allowing him to transform into an armored warrior called Yatsurugi. Ikari Turtle fights him, but Yatsurugi manages to fight him off. Ikari Turtle then pulls the anchor out of his left hand with a chain attached to it and tries to hit Yatsuguri with it. Yatsurugi dodges the anchor and manages to grab a hold of it to lay a few kicks on Ikari Turtle. Seeing Ikari Turtle losing in the fight, Fangerk tells Ikari Turtle to use his shell. So when Yatsurugi attacks again, Ikari Turtle uses his shell to protect him from the attack, causing Yatsurugi’s punch to bouce back. Yatsurugi tries to aim for Ikari Turtle’s other parts but Ikari Turtle still uses his shell to protect himself. Ikari Turtle starts to get the upper hand as he strikes Yatsurugi with his anchor hand. Fortunately, when Ikari Turtle jumps at him, Yatsurugi punches his shell when it was facing him and manages to crack it. As Ikari Turtle recovers from the hit, Yatsurugi charges up and uses his Yatsurugi Bomber to deliver a charged up punch to Ikari Turtle, causing him to fly back back onto the ground. When Ikari Turtle gets back up, he yells out before he explodes, finally destroyed.
