About Mirage of Blaze

If you are hunting for a new action series, Mirage of Blaze (炎の蜃気楼(ミラージュ)) deserves a look (2002). The setup goes like this. In short: The generals during the Warring State Period that passed away without unifying the country have waken from death as vengeful spirits and turned the world into a "Darkness Warring Country". Fighting the "Darkness Warring Country", underworld Uesugi had the most powerful "FORCE" and purified the bad spirits and sent the spirits to the underworld.

Soon after, a boy named Takaya Oogi is told by Naoe at one incident that he is actually Kagetora Uesugi, the head leader of Uesugi Underworld Army...

With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
