warrior's - Shadow Skill. Featuring the work by director Hiroshi Negishi,
"Tenchi: The Movie."

In a war torn world of deadly conflict, one small group of heroes stands
against the forces of darkness, armed only with two weapons - their
unswerving dedication to good and the superhuman martial art known as the
Shadow Skill...

For fourteen-year old Gau, it is time once again for him to return to the
graves of his parents, murdered by bandit when he was just ten. In the
company of his adoptive elder sister Ella, Gau quickly comes to realise
that his journey is more than just a pilgrimage, and that his combat
abilities as a student of the Karuda school of martial arts are about to
be pushed to their breaking point.
