They’re also all rather interesting, not only in terms of aesthetics and mechanical design, but the companies which actually made them.Īs you’d expect from a licensed property, many hands were involved with development of all the games. All of them are extremely obscure, with the best known possibly being Vajura Fight for the PC-FX, by virtue of its high price and legendary status on a system generally lacking in decent games (don’t argue, NEC’s PC-FX was a failure no matter how you cut it). Of course we’re not here to talk about the manga and its anime offshoots, rather the five video games they spawned, all released in a seventh month period between August 1995 and February 1996 (so therefore likely intended to coincide with the anime series). As expected there’s a diverse roster of secondary characters which appear throughout the series’ various iterations. As luck would have it Karuma’s evil is also back, in the form of seeds which look like giant eyeballs, and which Zenki must destroy… Or something along those lines. Since he takes the form of a child, she has to use a magical bracelet to turn him – Super Saiyan style – into his more powerful form from the past. Fast forward to today and Ozuno’s descendant Chiaki (aka: Cherry) summons Zenki to save her. Afterwards Ozuno seals Zenki in a pillar/monument/shrine. Over a thousand years ago a sorceress named Ozuno (sometimes Ozunu, or even Oz-Nay) battled evil with the help of guardian deity Zenki, and they defeated the evil demon queen Karuma. The story, very broadly speaking, is your standard modern-fantasy hokum mixed in with a bit of Dragon Ball. In 1997 there also appears to have been an OVA. Some say there were 51 episodes, the now-defunct official Enoki Films website claims 52 at 25 minutes each. Irrespective of the number of volumes, it spawned an anime series for the duration of 1995 (from January to December if online sources are correct). In 2005 a company called Bamboo Comics re-released these as 7 volumes. Wikipedia and other sites claim this apparently ran to 12 volumes, ending in 1996. Starting in 1992, Kishin Douji Zenki (or Demon Child Zenki) was a manga serialization in Monthly Shounen Jump.
