Adue also has a mecha which he summons, known as Ryu Knight Zephyr. Witnessing his acts of chivary are Paffy-hime, her big traveling companion Izumi, and the ninja Sarutobi (also with Paffy-hime). Because they are travelling in the same direction, Adeu ends up travelling with Paffy-hime's party where he soon discovers that Sarutobi also has a Ryu mecha known as Ryu Ninja Bakuretsumaru. He then discovers that Paffy has Ryu Mage Magidora and that Izumi has Ryu Priest Baurus. Together, this group will fight evil as they take their journey. But just how many people have Ryu-mecha? Will Adeu grow so that he is no longer a baka? |
