Haō Taikei Ryū Knight

is a Japanese anime television series created by Takehiko Itō, produced by Sunrise and directed by Toshifumi Kawase that aired in Japan from April 5, 1994 to March 28, 1995. Two OVA series comprising 17 episodes total, as well as two video games and a manga adaptation by Itō was published in Shueisha's V-Jump magazine from 1994 to 1995.

Both the anime and manga were planned simultaneously as a media mix project.

Plot

Ryū Knight tells the story of Adeu, a boy who lives his life by the "Ethos of Chivalry" (a code of conduct similar to the Knightly Virtues). He is on a quest to seek the Earth's Blade, a gigantic sword which is capable of reaching the sky from the ground. Along the way, he meets Paffy, who is a princess, and her two escorts: Sarutobi, a ninja, and Izumi, a priest. Together, they partake on an adventurous journey in which he comes across many villains, at first composed of thieves and bandits who are after the Ryu mechs, which are far stronger than the normal mechs (henceforth referred to as Solids). The plot expands as the series progresses.
