Hero Tales

When ruthless invaders burn down their village, siblings Taito and Laila are thrown into the middle of a celestial battle to obtain the power of a sacred sword.

Tales of a destiny written in the stars are eclipsed by Taito's intense yearning for a rematch with Keiro.

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

Laila acquires an admirer when the heroic travelers fight to bring justice to a town ruled by thugs.

Keiro plots against the empire; the wandering heroes tangle with outlaws on behalf of some orphans; during the unanticipated encounter, Taito learns the importance of teamwork.

Hosei feels snubbed when his master takes an interest in training Taito, so he starts a fight with a band of robbers who refuse to die -- no matter how many times he slays them.
