[Anime Overview]
TV anime: Ishura
<Introduction>
The world where the “True Demon King” once ruled is now governed by madness and fear.
The Demon King was brought down, but his death did not bring about peace.
It all began with the destruction of Nagan Labyrinth City.
In this incident, a swordsman from another world known as Soujiro the Willow-Sword was confirmed for the first time in official records.
However, he was not alone in his immense power—the Shuras, worthy of being called the strongest beings, gathered together in the New Principality of Lithia.
With this military might, the New Principality of Lithia was preparing for all-out war with Aureatia—the largest nation in the world—in order to seize hegemony following the death of the Demon King.
Intending to put a stop to Lithia’s warpath, a plot is hatched in Aureatia to assassinate Lithia’s leader, and the chosen assassins also possess supernatural might.
The stage is set, and the battle that will determine the strongest of the strong begins.
