Essentially a direct-to-video movie that serves as a capstone for the first 2 series, split into 3 parts. Wataru returns to Mt. Soukai once again and learns that a new foe from the Demon Realm has blasted half of it to bits, leaving the mountain barely standing. The Mashin are unable to win this fight, so Wataru has to set off to a forbidden realm to retrieve the only tool that can save them. These OVAs are pretty efficient, which they accomplish by cutting out most things that don't contribute to the goal of making an engaging finale. That includes the mechs, of course, but also Himiko and Shibaraku, who drop out of the plot very quickly. Of course, if you cut out the comedy and mechs from the comedic-fantasy-adventure-featuring-mechs, then you're getting something that is totally differ…

This is truly a francise than in Japan held a household name in the 1990's ova/ RPG boom and for GOD-BLOODY SAKE its not available on dvd ( maybe LCD), still to me a gem in the category of being an amethyst. This storyline is goe's further in detail about the purpose of wataru and got rid of the mecha's and using more magical powers and creatures, wich honestly stalled a bit in the previous 2 serie's, and replacing it by protecting a dragon but i think some of the change is for the better, i mean sometimes the formula loses its taste after so many seasons but THANK GOD no fillers, unlike a lot of 21 century anime,w ich some exceptions on late 80's ,90's long running t.v shows but not nearly as bad as todays anime. As for the art, the animation has been improved ofc since it was 1993, yeah…
