It's been nearly 40 years since the premiere of Sunrise's classic anime series Armor Legend Samurai Troopers . First released in the U.S. under the title Ronin Warriors , the series also inspired three OVA and two manga. And next year, we'll be getting an official sequel to the beloved series. The new series will be titled Yoroi Shin Den Samurai Troopers (setting it apart, it seems, from the 1992 manga Shin Yoroiden Samurai Troopers ). Along with this surprise announcement, we get a teaser trailer and visual, showing epic samurai action in the modern day: Yoroi Shin Den Samurai Troopers Teaser Trailer Yoroi Shin Den Samurai Troopers Teaser Visual RELATED: Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider Anime Reveals 2025 Broadcast in 1st Trailer, Visual The teaser trailer also introduces our new hero: Gai, voiced by Hiiro Ishibashi (Akatsuki Red in Mr. Villain's Day Off ): RELATED: GARO Tokusatsu Franchise Gets 20th Anniversary Movie This Fall Yoichi Fujita ( Gintama , Mr. Osomatsu ) is attached to direct, with Kamen Rider Build head writer Shogo Muto in charge of series composition.

When black clouds smother the bright city lights of Shinjuku, and a sinister laugh drowns out the dying hum of electricity, the people of the world plunge into terror, unprepared for the evil spirit's return!
