The story :
1000 years ago, the emperor of the youjakai, Arago, tried to conquer the Earth. As nobody seem to be able to beat him, a
strong and unknow samouraï of the name of Kaos challenged him and send him back to his world after a very difficult
battle. With what was left of Arago's armor, Kaos decided to create nine armors to prevent Arago's return and protect the
world. Today five youngs boys have been chosen to wear the armors : Rekka no Ryo, Suiko no Shin, Kongo no Shu,
Tenku no Touma and Korin no Seiji. Now they have to fight the soldiers of the youjakai and the warlords of Arago who
have the four other armors under his control. They will found help in Mia Koji and Jun, both survivors of Arago's first
attack but the battle will not be won easily...
