More goods announced for Ryo’s birthday event

Reusable cloth masks and cloth mask “cases” have been announced as part of the item line-up for Ryo’s Birthday event at the Nakano Broadway store, and they’ll be available from August 15th, 7:00pm JST, to August 28th, 2020.

Two options are available for the cloth mask design: navy with the samurai troopers helmet logo embroidered in white on the top left of the mask (logo would appear on the right side of face when worn), or white with the logo embroidered in navy. Each mask will be sold for 1,200 yen, or ~$12.

Next up, we have the mask “case” designs, one for each Trooper!

Mask cases are cloth with magnets inside that will hold the mask folded between it. Each of the troopers have a cloth case designed with their armor insignia embroidered in gold against fabric that is colored to match them (red for ryo, light blue for shin, orange for shuu, indigo for touma, and green for seiji). The colored cloth has different patterns/texture for each trooper. The price is set at 1,800 yen (~$18), but it is unclear if that is for a single case or if the cases are sold as a set of 5 (I’ll try to find out and provide an update).

The following image illustrates how to use the mask case to remove the mask. The goal is to not touch the mask itself, but to use the case as a kind of barrier between your hand and the mask. What follows is not a direct translation, but a summary of the instructions.

(1) Hold the case with one hand flat against the mask while your other hand unhooks the mask from your ears.

(2) Once the mask is resting flat in the center of the case, fold the case in half (like a book), with the mask inside.

(3) there are magnets inside the case that will keep it securely closed.

This final image is just kind of a promotional piece to show how the mask and case are designed to function in a business (upper left) and casual (”dining”, upper right) environment. Lower left image indicates that the case helps to cleverly hold the mask. Lower right image says the material (i don’t know if it means the mask itself or the case or both) is antibacterial and antiviral.

Yoroiden Samurai Troopers Harikiri Armor Tour TRANSLATED

Not like this is a big deal to anyone out there, I know, but for YEARS I’ve only ever seen the cover for this and always wondered what da heck was inside and what it looked like. Thanks to Kiari , not only do I now know what’s inside, but I translated this sucker to English. Now, at long last, I know what it says. If you even slightly like this, great! If not, well, meh. Nothing I can do about that.

Take care, keep safe, and stay awesome!

ps.

...now that i know there’s an official Kikoutei / Inferno plushie that’s over 1 meter / 3 feet tall (it’s one of the things that was being sold during the time of this concert and official piece of merchandise)... i can’t help but to wonder what it looks like...

[tiny-cloud-dragon]

The effects of being bitten by the Nostalgia Bug are still lingering. I tried watching Ronin Warriors to try to cure it, but it seems to have made it worse. I've gone from watching the old TV series, to watching the OVAs, to listening to the drama CDs, and now I find myself combing the internet at 11pm looking for screencaps and artbook scans that I don't already have in my digital collection.

It's sad that most of the old websites are shut down now, but I did manage to find a place in photobucket that has just about EVERY artbook scanned! And I found these, among other pictures,that I had never seen before:

The album belongs to Stormwatcher on photo bucket! http://s27.photobucket.com/user/Stormwatcher/albums/Ronin_Warriors

There are so many scans! If you are a fan, I highly recomend you visit Stormwatcher's albums!

Saint Seiya vs. Yoroiden Samurai Troopers

I have been binge watching Yoroiden Samurai Troopers/Ronin Warriors. I’ve watched the original Japanese version and the English dub. To me, it is a shame that the series ended with only 39 episodes and 3 OVAs. I think the show deserves a reboot with characters’ background stories and home life included. At first glance, I found the anime YST/Ronin Warriors very similar to Saint Seiya. But that is not surprising since YST/Ronin Warriors was created based on the popularity of Saint Seiya. Basically, it is Saint Seiya in Japanese Samurai style.

Like Saint Seiya, YST/Ronin Warriors is a story of 5 teenage boys at age 14/15 who fought evil villains and saved the world from doomsday. Instead of Bronze Cloth, they donned mystical armors. Instead of Gold Saints/Spectres/Mariners, they fought against warlords/Mashos. They were helped by a female companion who lived in a big mansion and a tag-a-long kid. 

So which anime series and characters are better?

Let’s look at the characters first.

Pegasus Seiya vs. Sanada Ryo/Ryo of Wildfire

The main protagonist and the “Red Ranger” of the group. Seiya and Ryo both had black hair and wore red most of the time. They were the ace who took down the big bad (Arago for Ryo, Hades for Seiya).

Winner: Pegasus Seiya

While Seiya may be the least liked character in Saint Seiya fandom, he is much better compared to Ryo. Seiya was funny and had a charming personality; he used street smarts in his battles. Ryo, on the other hand, rushed into action without thinking and barked at his friends often. It seemed that the only reason Ryo could take down the big bad is because of his armor and weapons. 

Cygnus Hyoga vs. Date Seiji/Sage of Halo

The blond lancer of the group. Hyoga and Seiji/Sage were quiet and calculating. Both liked to work alone and both had issues with women. While Hyoga was emotionally attached to his deceased mother, Seiji/Sage was afraid of women because of his dominating mother and sisters. In other words, both got Freud issues.

And oh yeah, both were got fans from (western) female viewers for their good looks. 

Winner: Draw

Both Seiji/Sage and Hyoga were character with depth and had episodes where they shined. 

Dragon Shiyru vs. Hashiba Touma/Rowen of Strata

The smart one of the group. Both Touma/Rowen and Shiryu owed the main protagonist Seiya and Ryo their lives since Seiya and Ryo saved them in early episodes. Both were deemed as the “most dangerous” of the group as well. Personality wise, the two were very different though. While both were noble and loyal, Shiryu was arrogant and judgmental; Touma was quiet, objective, and a loner by choice.

Winner: Rowen of Strata/Hashiba Touma

Touma/Rowen literally lead the group to final victory. It was Touma/Rowen who rescued the three captured Samurai Troopers/Ronin Warriors in later episodes. When he worked with Ryo, it was very obvious that he takes the lead. One can say that without Touma/Rowen, the good guys can never take down the big bad.

And another thing we like about him - he keeps his armor on all the time.

Andromeda Shun vs. Mouri Shin/Cye of Torrent

The soft-spoken pretty boy and reluctant warrior who prefer not to fight. Both Cye/Shin and Shun were viewed as the weakest of the group. Still, both were nice guys to have around.

Winner: Andromeda Shun

Shun had his heroic moments multiple times in the series. He defeated a Gold Saint on his own and chose to sacrifice himself in order to defeat Hades. And he showed his enemies and viewers exactly how scary his powers can be when he’s mad. 

Cye/Shin, on the other hand, could barely defeat his rival Sekhmet/Naaza.

Bear Geki vs. Kento/Shu Rei Faun

The big guy of the series and physically the strongest. They were also the cool guy who is outgoing and easy to talk to. 

Winner: Kento of Hardrock/Shu Rei Faun

Bear Geki had a minor role and less screen time while Kento/Shu is one of the main protagonists. If you watched the original anime, Kento/Shu was not that silly or much of a comic relief.  

Phoenix Ikki vs. Shuten/Anubis

The villain who turned good and became the Sixth Ranger who saved the protagonist’s butts. Both Ikki and Shuten/Anubis were villains in early episodes but later turned good. Both had died after they switched to the good side; then came back alive and fought with the good guys.

Winner: draw

Shuten/Anubis redeemed himself by the end of the series and his death was final. His evil past was forgiven. Ikki, on the other hand, returned again and again each time after he’s supposedly dead. Still, we are happy to see him back. 

Saori Kido vs. Yagyu Nasuti/Mia Koji

The female companion who supported the 5-man band. Both had a deceased grandfather who had the knowledge on the origin of the 5-man band. Both encouraged and emotionally supported the 5-man band. And both played a vital role in defeating the big bad - Saori being Goddess Athena and Nasuti/Mia with her knowledge. 

Winner: depends on which version of Saori Kido we’re looking at

If you are looking at the original anime from the 80s, then obvious Nasuti/Mia is the winner since Nasuti/Mia actually “did something” to defeat the big bad while Saori Kido was constantly kidnapped. 

Yet, in Saint Seiya Omega and Legends of Sanctuary, Saori got better and she fought along with the Saints. Compared to Nasuti/Mia, Saori Kido from Omega and Legends of Sanctuary is the better character.

Kiki vs. Jun/Yuli

The tag-a-long kid. Jun/Yuli met the Ronin Warriors/YST by chance and was just an ordinary kid. Kiki was a disciple of Aries Gold Saint with special powers of his own.

Winner: Kiki

Not hard to decide here. Kiki was helpful and cute in Saint Seiya. Jun/Yuli was rather annoying and gets in the way.

So in the end, which anime is better? Saint Seiya or YST/Ronin Warriors.

Winner: Saint Seiya

The main reason I’d say Saint Seiya is better is because the characters got more depth and development. YST/Ronin Warriors were rather flat in the original anime. Although the characters’ background and home life were explored in novels and CD dramas, it was not included in the original anime. Had the original anime included these elements, YST/Ronin Warriors would’ve been better.

Anyone Else

Have that one anime you fell in love with as a kid and STILL love as adult? It's that one corny, cringy, nolstagia-inducing masterpiece that you can only watch alone because it's corny dialogue, overly dramatic voice acting, out dated, cheap animation and character designs would make you die of embarrassment if you watched with a friend.

For me, that anime is Ronin Warriors/Yoroiden Samurai Troopers. It came on in the early 90's in the US, and today, at 38 years old, it's still my favorite. I love everything about it : the story line, the corny English version dialogue, Rowen's "Brooklyn" accent, the inconsistent artwork, the bizarre "80's" fashion, the hair styles( which were somewhat tame for anime characters), the fluffy sideburns, the hair colors, the old animation and effect techniques that were groundbreaking for the time, the detailed background artwork, the weird sound effects, the unique sound of it's late Japanese 80's music soundtrack, the three OVA's, the art books, I could go on and on! But I just can't bring myself to watch it with anyone, not even my twin sister (who also loves it).

Example: I was watching one of the OVA's on my phone last night, and my sister walked in. And with the speed at which I paused the video and tilted my phone screen down, you would have thought I was watching porn!
