The growth turns out to be a messenger from the age-old past of Japan heralding a demonic invasion of the Earth.

Another thread: Ukyo has to go back in time and confront the race of ancient demons.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Toei Animation, which means the visual identity of Psychic Wars follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 2.6/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Hideyuki Tanaka voicing Ukyo Retsu gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 1991, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
