Epic/Action Drama/Historical Titles

#
Epic: (Story/Location) These would be titles which recount the deeds of a legendary or historical hero.

Action Drama: (Genre) Much like "Action" (lots of shooting, explosions, and the like) except it has "Drama" thrown in as well.

Historical: (Setting) Self-explanatory. This should be a title rooted in historical events.

Ronin Warriors
Watch There is a dark and mysterious counterpart to this world called the Phantom World. It is from this evil dimension, however, that the power comes to fight for good in the form of five young men whose magical samurai armor was forged in the Phantom World. The dark king of that evil plane, Arago, has wished to conquer the light world for centuries and is now waging his attempt in the form of henchmen who wear the same armor as our heroes. Can the warriors of light match up to the warriors of dark? The ultimate question of good vs. evil is posed in Ronin Warriors.

Shura No Toki
Buy In feudal Japan there exist many different styles of samurai skills. Students of these skills are continually striving to improve themselves and earn the title of Master of the Sword. Musashi is one who has probably earned it. His double swords flow like the wind and he can defeat any opponent. He wanders around the land looking for talented samurai to fight. While debating whether to protect a young lord, he sees a samurai eating in a small restaurant, Yakumo Mutsu. Later he sees Yakumo defeat 20 men without drawing his Wakizashi blade, displaying the unarmed combat skills of a Mutsu Enmei. Musashi decides there that Yakumo is the man he needs to fight to find out who is the best.
