Shin Hakkenden (神八剣伝)
In a distant future inspired by the classic novel Nanso Satomi Hakkenden, celestial wars rage across eight moons orbiting God's land, with only the Oowaris clan emerging victorious. Eight destined individuals, each from a different moon and each wielding a jewel representing an element of Earth, must unite at the ship Kusanagi to gather their sacred stones into the key Yatsufusa and restore the world. When the mad emperor Kai attempts to resurrect a ghost that would prevent Earth's rebirth, these eight warriors must harness their jewels' powers to defeat him and save humanity.
