Lord of Lords: Ryū Knight (覇王大系リューナイト,Haō Taikei Ryū Naito) is a Japaneseanime television series produced bySunrise, directed by Toshifumi Kawase, and aired in Japan from April 5, 1994 to March 28, 1995. TwoOVA series comprising 17 episodes total, as well as two video games and amanga adaptation written and illustrated byTakehiko Itō, who was also credited for the original story in the series which was published inShueisha'sV-Jump magazine from 1994 to 1995.
Both the anime and manga were planned simultaneously as a media mix project.
Ryū Knight tells the story of Adeu, a boy who lives his life by the "Ethos ofChivalry" (a code of conduct similar to theKnightly Virtues). He is on a quest to seek the Earth's Blade, a gigantic sword which is capable of reaching the sky from the ground. Along the way, he meets Paffy, who is aprincess, and her two escorts: Sarutobi, aninja, and Izumi, apriest. Together, they partake on an adventurous journey in which he comes across many villains, at first composed of thieves and bandits who are after the Ryu mechs, which are far stronger than the normal mechs (henceforth referred to as Solids). The plot expands as the series progresses.
