Hero Tales

When their village temple is burned to the ground by cutthroat invaders, siblings Taito and Laila are thrust into the middle of a celestial struggle to obtain the power of a sacred sword.

Tales of a destiny written in the stars are overshadowed by Taito’s ferocious desire for a rematch with Keiro. While the young warrior plots his quest for vengeance, Ryuko tries to teach him to control his newfound power.

Taito’s training with Ryuko continues as the travelers stop for rest in a town where a torrential downpour turns an outlawed religious symbol into a harbinger of death.

Laila gains an admirer when the heroic travelers fight to bring order to a town ruled by villains. This mysterious newcomer is deadly with a bow and arrow, but he fights on the wrong side of destiny.

Keiro appears to be plotting against the empire, and the traveling heroes tangle with bandits on behalf of some starving orphans. During the unexpected skirmish, Taito learns the value of teamwork.

Hosei feels ignored when his master takes a special interest in training Taito, so the young archer picks a fight with a gang of bandits who refuse to die - no matter how many times he kills them!

Hosei’s rash behavior causes his master to become an undead servant of evil. With his new friends’ lives on the line, will he be able to obey her chilling final order?

Sensing Hosei’s pain over the loss of his master, the heroes embark on a mission to lift his spirits. While Taito and Ryuko try their luck as hunters, Laila collects mushrooms in an attempt to conjure up something edible.

Upon reaching the capital, Taito is eager to seek revenge for his fallen comrades. Ryuko fails to convince the young Alkaid that he cannot defeat Keiro, but perhaps a pretty girl will have better luck.

Spurred by delusions of grandeur, Taito infiltrates the royal palace, determined to teach the emperor how to run a country - or claim the throne for himself!

Lord Keiro continues his march of destruction across the peaceful countryside. Meanwhile, Taito grows increasingly stronger, and Ryuko agonizes over his destiny.

Ryuko seeks the council of his elders as he struggles to determine his role in the prophesized battle, and Chouka makes an aggressive attempt to eliminate Taito.

When Taito and Keiro meet again on the field of battle, Ryuko must decide whether he will fight alongside his friend - or his father!

Devastated by the loss of Ryuko, Taito angrily rejects his cosmic destiny. When the young warrior becomes insufferable, Koyo teaches him a painful lesson in humility.

Koyo sends Taito into the forest to rediscover his missing star power, but the mission takes a dire turn when Laila wanders away from camp in search of her brother.

A festival celebrating the emperor’s engagement is marred by an unexpected eclipse, and Taito continues his mission to restore peace to the empire - one fight at a time!

Upon their triumphant homecoming, Taito and his new friends dazzle the crowd with a martial arts exhibition. Later, the young Alkaid learns the truth about his ancestry.

After setting fire to Taito’s city, Chouka’s ninjas take a wise man hostage, but the true threat is a powerful, all-seeing demon who’s out to harm someone close to the Alkaid.

Lord Keiro gains even more power after his daughter’s marriage to the Emperor is made official. Elsewhere, Taito and company cross paths with an old friend.

Kyo proposes a daring - and deadly - plan to overthrow Keiro, and Rinmei is shocked to learn the full extent of Ryuko’s heartless betrayal.

Shimei lures Taito into the clutches of Lord Keiro. The Alkaid is ready for a fight, but his counterpart is unwilling, instead choosing to reveal the secrets of his own dark past.

The empire undergoes frightening changes after Keiro stakes his claim to the throne. When the former emperor is imprisoned, Taito and company must act quickly to save him.

Taito’s encounter with Lord Keiro proves that the young Alkaid has grown in power since their first meeting. In the aftermath of their clash, Keiro displays the true depths of his depravity.

When Ryuko objects to his father’s use of zombie foot soldiers to slaughter innocent citizens, he ends up behind bars. On the other side of the empire, Taito rallies his fellow heroes for one final battle!

Having fallen under the control of his father’s rapidly-expanding influence, Ryuko is powerless to stop his own body from launching a murderous attack against Taito.
