The Wing of Madoola
In the land of Badham, there was once a statue of a bird, called “The Wing of Madoola”, The wing granted power to rule the world to the one who possessed it, and so the people warred over its control for a long time.

During one era, the Wing of Madoola came into the possession of the kindhearted king of the Rameru family. The king sealed it away to cease the wars. However, Darutos, a descendant of the Rameru line, betrayed his family and took the wing.
Darutos built himself a demonic fortress and attempted to take over the world.

Darutos and the Rameru clan fought fiercely, until only the warrior Lucia remained of the clan.
As the sole magic-user of the Rameru clan, Lucia heads to Alex Castle where Darutos resides, refusing to retreat.

Firework Thrower Kantaro’s 53 Stations of the Toukaido
Kantaro, a fireworks maker, wants to return to Edo to show the new fireworks he learned to make in Kyoto, and begins to travel the Tokaido road.

However, the evil secret gun merchant “Inokuniya Gozaemon” schemes to steal Kantaro’s firework formulas and use them to make guns.

Kantaro must fight back against the assassins sent by the evil merchant by throwing firework grenades at them.
Will Kantaro manage to launch his new fireworks above the Sumida River in Edo?
And will he finally be reunited with his one love, Momoko?

Ripple Island
Somewhere on the sea was a small island called Ripple Island, where the residents lived peacefully surrounded by bountiful nature.

But one day, a monster calling himself Emperor Gerogale kidnaps Princess Nasareru and starts invading Ripple Island!
Compelled to stop him, King Dotella issues a call to the residents.

“To the brave hero who defeats Gerogale, a fitting reward and Princess Nasareru’s hand in marriage.”

A young boy named Kail, who lived in the outskirts of the island and always dreamed of becoming rich someday, jumps on this opportunity and begins to make his way to the fortress where Gerogale lurked.
