[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The film relates the adventures of a young Japanese samurai named Yohei who visited Spain in the 17th century, in a story loosely taking its inspiration from the travels of Hasekura. Yohei survived in hiding to the present day due to magical powers ("After centuries of lethargy, he awakes in a World he does not know"), and accomplishes many adventures in modern Europe as a superhero.[1]
[edit] Characters
- Gisaku: a demon who lost its power; now an adorable metal-eating baby lion.
- Riki: a young Spanish boy, who lost his parents in a car accident.
- Yohei: a brave samurai from the past, who awakened after centuries of sleep
- Moira: an individualistic girl, whose interests lie in both high-tech and protection of the environment
- Linceto: a mutated Spanish lynx who can speak and walk like a person. He blames the human race for the extinction of his species.
- Gorkan: the only demon who survived the battle between men and the forces of evil 400 years ago, and now plans to dominate the world.
