Yoroi Shin Den Samurai Troopers is a sequel to the 1980s Yoroi Den Samurai Troopers series (also known as Ronin Warriors in English). The series is split into two cours with the 1st cour airing on January 6. The premise of the series says that after the seal to the demon world was broken and the demons are invading Earth, five young samurai warriors come together to save humanity.
The original Yoroi Den Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors) was created by Hajime Yatate and animated by Sunrise. It ran from 1988 to 1999 and has inspired several OVAs and a manga adaptation. Prime Video is streaming the original series and describes the series as:
After a thousand years of exile, Talpa, ruler of the Netherworld, returns to claim the Earth as his own. The only thing that can stop him and his minions are five young men and their mystical suits of armor.
