Shadow Skill: The Movie
1996, English. Directed by Hiroshi Negishi.
In a war-torn world of deadly conflict, one small group of heroes stand 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 the 14-year-old Gau Ban, it is time once again to return to the grave of his parents, murdered by bandits when he was just ten. In the company of his adoptive sister Elle Lagu, Gau quickly comes to realize that his journey is more than a pilgrimage, and that his combat abilities as a student of the Karuda School of Martial Arts are about to be pushed to the breaking point! Note: The three OVA episodes together (Sevalle, Septia & Sui Rame) are also sometimes referred to as Shadow Skill: The Movie.
