Ronin Warriors: Message English Sub & Dub

About Ronin Warriors: Message

Ronin Warriors: Message (鎧伝サムライトルーパーMESSAGE) arrives as an adventure anime by Sunrise (1991), and the premise is easy to summarize. In short: A 300-year-old book is discovered which chronicles the adventures of the legendary Samurai Troopers… centuries before they happen! But what does this mean?

Also worth knowing: Are the Troopers merely puppets in some cosmic play, acting out parts? Who is this unexplained Suzunagi, an unexplained girl who entices each of the warriors with their hearts’ desire - salvation, new armors, freedom from a life of fighting. Why is she so interested in the troopers and their armors?

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Shin Mouri (Nozomu Sasaki) and Ryou Sanada (Takeshi Kusao) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. At 5 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
