'''''Ronin Warriors''''' (known as ''Yoroiden Samurai Troopers'' in Japan) is a 39-episode anime produced by Sunrise in the late 1980s; it is a [[Shonen]] series that centers on [[Sentai|a group of young men]] who don transforming [[Empathic Weapon|mystical armors]]. It was designed to [[Follow the Leader|capitalise on the success]] of [[Saint Seiya|THE show about young men who don]] [[Empathic Weapon|mystical armors]]—but with [[Jidai Geki|Sengoku]] flavor! The show was brought over to the US in 1995 as ''Ronin Warriors'' and meshed well with the post-''[[Power Rangers]]'' wave. The American dub is notable as one of the least [[Macekre]]d [[Anime]]-to-American TV adaptations of its time in terms of cuts; the [[Dub Name Change|name changes]], on the other hand, are many and varied.
The villain of the show is Master Talpa, [[Satan|supreme lord]] of the demonic Underworld, who spends most of the First Arc as a floating demonic mask (with an inexplicable-yet-menacing Welsh accent in the American dub). The first episode has him barging into the mortal world and setting up his phantom stronghold. Bearing witness to this horrific event are [[Bratty Half-Pint]] Yuli (whose parents are captured during the invasion of Talpa's forces) and Mia Koji, a young student-teacher and [[Hot Librarian|researcher of ancient Japanese legends and antiquities]]. Also witness to this event are five athletic young heroes in colorful armor, one of whom (Ryo) is wandering the city with an [[Team Pet|enormous white tiger]] by his side. When Mia and Yuli find themselves threatened by soldiers of Talpa's Dynasty, Ryo and the other young heroes step in to rescue them. Sensing trouble, Talpa casts the young heroes to the four winds for their trouble; Mia and Yuli take it upon themselves to find and reunite the Ronin Warriors so they can prevent [[The End of the World as We Know It]]. Opposing the heroes' quest to defeat Talpa are his [[Four Is Death|four powerful warlords]], who each have the power to work his will and unleash unspeakable horrors upon the world. (Of course, the heroes have Yuli on ''their'' side, so things pretty much even out.)
