Ryo Sanada is the main protagonist of The Samurai of Eternity — wearer of the Wildfire armour, associated with the virtue of justice. His design — black hair, blue eyes, red armour with golden flames — is the iconic image of the series for an entire generation of viewers. In Sunrise’s animation, the transformation and armour-activation sequences presented the greatest visual challenge: the armour of the five samurai had to be rendered with a level of detail that was unusual for a 1980s television series.
