* Based on the manga by Tsuzuki Kazuhiko serialized in Comic Nora. Izumo, a prince of Nakatsu, hates old-fashioned customs and falls for Sanae, a girl from the rival kingdom of Yamatai. Meanwhile, neighboring countries Asuka and Yamato are plotting to steal the Amenomukumo Sword, a sacred treasure of Nakatsu. The warrior Yamato Takeru kidnaps Sanae, and Izumo takes up the sword to regain her, but he must first defeat Orochi, a serpent with eight heads and eight tails. Source: The Anime Encyclopedia Note: this adventure anime combines the Japanese myth of Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon with a prehistorical meeting of cultures that would be revisited in Princess Mononoke.
