📖 SYNOPSIS
Based on a classic Japanese novel, "Shin Hakkenden" is set in a future where wars have ended in heaven, leaving the Oowari family in control of most moons. Eight individuals, each from a different moon and possessing a jewel representing an element of Earth, are chosen as humanity's saviors. They are tasked with fulfilling their duty to Queen Fuse, who entrusted them with these jewels. When the mad emperor Kai threatens to revive a ghost and prevent Earth's restoration, these heroes must use their jewel-given powers. Their journey leads them to Kusanagi, a ship in the center of God's land, where they must gather the jewels within the Yatsufusa key to create Earth and defeat those who oppose them.
