@@meriani777 I've seen recent versions of a Ryo Sanada White Inferno Armor figure about a year or 2 ago (I think it was from Bandai's SH Figuarts line), but I didn't know that there were figures from back then. If you don't mind me asking, were those figures available in the states or did you have to get them imported from or go to Japan for them?
@@christianthatcher771 They were readily available in a toy store in the US when my bros got them years ago. If I recall correctly the store was called KB Toys but it closed down along with the mall it was in.
@@meriani777 Damn, I missed out. I would've gone nuts about that if I had known that back then 😁 I've always been a huge card/model/toy collection enthusiast, and Ronin Warriors was by far one of my favorite series back then.
I hope not. I've seen what they did to Thunder Cats and Voltron. Even the continuation of a series like DBS from DBZ is just NOPE. Aside from the cheesy voice dub (Though it is a product of its time) I really enjoy the older Shows far more than some of the newer Shonen anime.
@@PRhymeExample It needs a redo the voice over and hair style in some of them is too tragic 1990s click this part 1:21.

I appreciate the subtle life lessons ingrained in most anime.Growing up my grandparents would park my ass in front of the TV , and all i ever watched was Japanese animation. As a result grew up with a strong moral compass, sadly as i got older was disappointed to see not everyone felt the same way but i wouldn't change a thing.
@@ashasalany Oh but I do , I heard lots of bad ones it’s just that either the dub actors or the dialogue writer were big fans of “ stoners” “ airhead surfers” I don’t know why 😩 I would like them to make them timeless with neutral dialogue ...this shit at (click here1:21 )was two heart beats away from a cowabunga
Saaaaaame! I feel like I’m six years old again lol. 😭 Ronin Warriors was the shit back in the day! I was always so excited to watch this every afternoon after school!
In this type of shonen animes in wich the henshin sequences will always be recycled to death and the most eye catching moments, the production budget had to be justified with more detailed drawings, use of effects and animation frames.
5:29 For 1988 that transformation was ahead of its time, just look at the details. Arms together to burst into flames instant armor transformation, who thinks of this!?!? Insane loved this show.
Just one of favorite animes of all time. What got me the most was the wild sound effects. It made this anime feel like applying that armor was heavy! The music also was great too.
This series is a treasure -drawing from legendary Samurai lore and weaving the story into a modern fantasy adventure tale. The transformations give me chills! I feel that there is a lot of Taoist philosophy embedded in the theme -the ongoing struggle between good and evil, represented by the ancient monk and Talpa; as well as the 9 virtues of Bushido, presenting 5 positive virtues as the protagonists, and 4 negative ones as the dark warlords, and in the end the universe bends toward justice.
Sailor moon was a spoof of tokusatsu shows where as Ronin Warriors/Samurai Troopers was a homage to them. Makes all the difference in tone and quality.
Yeah, I do remember that name and its "générique". I used to watch Mangas TV my entire childhood hahah, srsly the "génériques" were too good! xD all thanks to Bernard minet.
Even though the show is sometimes thought of as Sailor Moon for Boys. It preceded it by several years. And is even listed as being in the Sentai genre. Ronin Warriors came in out 1988, Sailor Moon came out around 1991 and Power Rangers by 1993.
Ronin Warriors actually was the competition to Saint Seiya back then, with a similar concept but based in japanese folklore and historical background rather than greek, however the greek mythology basis of Saint Seiya is one of the strong reasons for it's legendary success in West Europe and Latin America countries. The merchandise also had a similar approach with Takara VS Bandai companies dueling with similar detailed toy figures of the armors.
@@diegorivas1991 Dispite copyright domains, could you imagine what a Transformers collab look like for both Ronin Warriors and Saint Seiya? I think that'd be awesome imo since they made TF collabs for Ghostbusters and X-Men :D
Absolutely! I was watching the Galaxy Express 999 movie recently, and was just marveling at the classic sound fx, like when a junky robot man is walking by on Heavy Melder. So good =D
So much that in Brazil, the dubbing put Seiya and Shiryu's va's to voice Hector/Ryo Sanada and Cesar/Seiji Date. Also we had our dub names from the Spanish dub due to the toys being imported from Spain
I was watching this long before Sailor Moon interrupted my mornings. I remember being so pissed when I got up one morning and I saw "Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight..." It was such a shock. I do love Sailor Moon now and have been a fan for a good portion of my 43 years of life now. But this was my jam back in the day. The memories.
i remember catching this one morning waiting to walk to the bus stop for summer school 93-94ish. I had literally just watched the music video "someone to love" by Jon B feat. Babyface....then some strange cartoon comes on and im like "hole up...THIS IS DOPE!" so glad that i had failed middle school algebra or whatever class it was. ms cureton mmm mmm mm.
I grew up with this awesome anime in Club Do, it's clearly one of my favorite "Armor Shonen" with Saint Seiya. The plot is maybe not the more complex, but the story of the nine armors is really cool. More what I like the most is the character design, Sunrise did a fantastic animation job and the armors have certainly one of the best design ever. I can get enough of those transformations scene! "A nous, armures ancestrales😎!!!!"
I'm currently watching the OVAs I missed out on when I was younger. The first OVA was pretty brutal. Watching the dub (Same voice crew using the same names. I'm not sure if Sage has the same VA though.) makes it feel like continuing the show where I left off and I'm loving it. This was a great anime from my childhood.
it was pretty bad ass. I remember this and Sailor Moon playing on UPN when I was like 5 and I took a loving to both shows so the title is 😘👌 I always give love to Sailor Moon as my first anime but this ish was there too 😩💗
ive been playing ragnarok M for about a year and last month they had a collab event with this anime and I kinda have to thank the game for introducing me to this classic I really enjoyed watching it
I wish that the other Ronin Warriors had the same style of transformation like Ryo does with the peddles, instead of just snap shot poses of them in their armor.
The non English dubbed version was a lot more dark, It gave me a lot of dread back when I was a kid, something on the likes to Neon Genesis Evangelion. The four dark warlords gave them such a damn hard time.
This would make an excellent live series on Netflix! If the gave Winx saga a go and Cowboy Bebop a try why not Ronin Warrior as well.. maybe I don’t know, find the right cast, writers and directors
They made a blu Ray of this series in Japan. It's like night and day as far as picture quality. A lot of detail gets lost in the amount of black they use in the show. There is a lot of areas that look black that aren't. The sad thing is the dub audio wouldn't fit in a remaster. The intro and credits are different than Samurai Troopers. I love the Ocean Group cast, and it would be a shame to not keep the audio.

My thoughts exactly. With the right people to back it, the right story, and consistency. Nothing involving the OVA series.
What’s it about?

Anubis putting his armor on for the last time was one of my favorite moments in the whole series.

@@kiko485 I miss old Toonami
Yeah me too
Damn, those animators really knew how to draw.
In this type of shonen animes in wich the henshin sequences will always be recycled to death and the most eye catching moments, the production budget had to be justified with more detailed drawings, use of effects and animation frames.
Ronin Warriors/Samurai Troopers was one of my three introductions to anime in 1995 and I still love it dearly.
5:29 For 1988 that transformation was ahead of its time, just look at the details. Arms together to burst into flames instant armor transformation, who thinks of this!?!? Insane loved this show.
This show was bad ass back in 1995 when they played it in the US tv show.
What a good damn anime show.
Whose English Dub is Produced by Graz Entertainment, inc. The animation Studio Behind X-Men, The Tick, Stone Protectors and Skeleton Warriors.
MG16NCP in the first seasons.
It is only in seasons 1 2 3 and 4.
This came before Sailor Moon, the transformation was epic, the armors were so cool even by today's standards. It has a tone of ancient Japanese armor.
And like a lot of team superhero animes it was heavily influenced by various tokusatsu shows like Super Sentai and Kamen Rider
And Cutey Honey came before this.
No matter the dialogue, echoes made everything better.
Ronin Warriors had some great transformation sequences.
"Rage of Inferno!!!!" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Uh...I think I'd better go now" 😲😨🏃♀️
This April Yoroiden Samurai Torūpā / Ronin Warriors will turn 35 years old. Made it’s debut onto Japanese tv on April 30, 1988.
I haven't seen these warriors since Toonami in the 90s.
Just one of favorite animes of all time. What got me the most was the wild sound effects. It made this anime feel like applying that armor was heavy! The music also was great too.
I can't even imagine the amount of epic seizures people got everytime Ryo transforms into his inferno armor.

The transmission of the Sailor Moon Scouts is great but the Ronin Warriors beat them my two thousand miles.
Pretty much spanked them
Lol maybe in the heart of a fan but no when I was a kid this show was known as boy sailor moon
both are beautiful
Sailor moon was a spoof of tokusatsu shows where as Ronin Warriors/Samurai Troopers was a homage to them. Makes all the difference in tone and quality.
@@danielhaire6677 sailor moon has a higher quality, even being a spoof
Before Power Rangers samurai, there was Ronin warriors.
Before Shinkenger*
This television show is amazing
Haha growing up in a French speaking environment, this was called "Les Samouraï de l'Eternel". Great anime for sure
Uchawi Beatz No my friend “The Ronin warriors” were not “Le chevalier du Zodiaque” 2 different shows 😓
Not the same show but i do remember capitaine flam and Ulysse 31
@@deeplyblue7299 true it was Samouraïs de l'Eternel. Not sure what I was thinking about
@@Uchawibeatz Great anime for real

These villains are something else
In all honesty, the English dub isn’t half bad! In fact it’s actually better than I remembered! ☺️
Ocean Group was on fire back in the 90's. They voiced all the best dubs in the 1990's.
I was thinking the same, I was prepared for the worst.
Because back then voice actors actually tried because anime was niche.
@Jotaro97 they tried because that was all we had no it’s over saturated imo.
Yeah. There are a few clunkers, and some outright cringe-worthy moments, but otherwise, the dubbing is extremely accurate to the source material.
This really needs a modern reboot or sequel anime
Been saying that for year's. Im sure it would do better now
No, it would lose its 80's vibe.
Even though the show is sometimes thought of as Sailor Moon for Boys. It preceded it by several years. And is even listed as being in the Sentai genre. Ronin Warriors came in out 1988, Sailor Moon came out around 1991 and Power Rangers by 1993.
Gonna say it but you beat me to it, haha. Glad someone else knows the truth though 👍
Ronin Warriors actually was the competition to Saint Seiya back then, with a similar concept but based in japanese folklore and historical background rather than greek, however the greek mythology basis of Saint Seiya is one of the strong reasons for it's legendary success in West Europe and Latin America countries.

rewatching Samurai Troopers and Sailor Moon this year, I can easily say Samurai is trash compared to Sailor Moon
I had these toys and didn’t even know there was a show. Wow.
Armor of Inferno! Forged in the FLAMES OF WAR!
Can't get anymore epic or hard-core then that
Ahhh, the anime that got me into anime. One of the coolest ever.
Guitar solos typically from 80's! Só Nice!
Thanks you for reminding me of that anime ,it give me nostalgia
Does anyone else miss old school anime sound effects or just me
Absolutely! I was watching the Galaxy Express 999 movie recently, and was just marveling at the classic sound fx, like when a junky robot man is walking by on Heavy Melder. So good =D
Ronin Warriors was one of the best shows during my childhood when Tooonami was airing these amazing shows.
This was literally one of the best shows on TV back in the day!
Fun thing it came out before Sailor Moon
But is actually a clone on Saint Seiya.
So much that in Brazil, the dubbing put Seiya and Shiryu's va's to voice Hector/Ryo Sanada and Cesar/Seiji Date. Also we had our dub names from the Spanish dub due to the toys being imported from Spain
Matt Hill is the voice of Ryo. He voiced Ed in Ed Edd n Eddy.
I picture Ryo saying this:
"Faster, White Blaze, faster!"
Hug a chicken ❤️
One of the few anime I missed entirely because it was during a time when by the time I got into Toonami, it was transitioning to a new stage.
What a classic anime my childhood.
Seems strange Rowen never had a full sequence.
Tell me about it and he's my favorite
I think only in the Japanese version do you get to see it
@@zombiejlt1 mine too. I love Rowen.

I love these Ronin warrior armors and boy do they make me want to fight crime.
Here in brazil they are called as Samurai Warriors, I particularly think is more honorable .

Awww man, I was hoping you had this in the original Japanese audio.
That would be Samurai Troopers, and there are surprisingly few changes between the two versions.
awesome show many kids now adults will have traces of this in their memories
my childhood is crying
Somehow I guessed right that it was done by Sunrise just by the animation.
Will forever and always be my top anime
the opening of this was FIRE, love the original voices.
It's like the Legendary Six Samurai
it was pretty bad ass.
I remember this and Sailor Moon playing on UPN when I was like 5 and I took a loving to both shows so the title is 😘👌
I always give love to Sailor Moon as my first anime but this ish was there too 😩💗

I'm curious. Which one made you feel what about yourself?

Man...I must be super old if I remember watching this as a kid. XD Though I also watched saint seiya so...XD

ive been playing ragnarok M for about a year and last month they had a collab event with this anime and I kinda have to thank the game for introducing me to this classic I really enjoyed watching it
Ah Ronin Warriors, the anime that aired a nude scene back on Toonami. Good times.
I hate how Rowen/Touma never got his own transformation sequence like the others.
He deserved so much better.
this show was way before sailor moon
I loved this series so much. Anubis (dub version) was my first anime crush.
Paul Dobson did a great job voicing him. He is one of my favorite voice actors.
I feel the resemblence energy from this anime and saint seiya
Just my opinion but theyll be waaay cooler if the mask not gone when the armor are merge with the character
Saint seiya was the inspiration for this
This was always one of me & my brother's favorite anime series on TOONAMI back in the 90's!
Damn
this show was one of the best ...
Retro did you ever notice how they spoiled the fact he would get the different swords when they showed the final view of the Inferno transformation?
The Best of the best Anime ever and still to this Day 🤩💖💖
Shiiit ronin warriors was my at lime favorite childhood anime they were so badass I 11 or 12 maybe im 29 now still think their dope as fuck lol.
My all-time favorite animé.
I wish that the other Ronin Warriors had the same style of transformation like Ryo does with the peddles, instead of just snap shot poses of them in their armor.
So much better than the original Sailor Moon, no cap XD
is actually Saint Seiya inspiration, not Sailor Moon

I haven't seen the Ronin Warriors in years I've seen it until it ended if my memory serves me right it ended in season 3. I could be wrong.
There are two seasons of anime and three OAVs available in the USA.
