Overview

Aura Battler Dunbine is a 1983 television series that centers on a young man named Sho Zama. Following a motocross accident in Japan, Sho is transported to a mystical realm known as Byston Well. Upon his arrival, he is recruited by Lord Drake Luft to operate Aura Battlers, which are specialized weapons that integrate Earthian technology with the magic of Byston Well. Sho initially serves under Luft alongside other individuals summoned from Earth. However, the narrative shifts when Sho encounters a woman named Marvel, who is also from Earth. Marvel reveals the true nature of Lord Drake Luft and convinces Sho that his leader possesses sinister intentions. This discovery forces Sho to reconsider his role in the ongoing conflict within the mystical world. The series explores the consequences of these revelations as Sho navigates the complex political and military landscape of Byston Well while piloting the Aura Battler machines. The story focuses on the moral dilemmas Sho faces as he learns the reality behind the weapons he was recruited to use.
