Amano Yaku is a legendary ronin warrior who wields a powerful sword known as, the Xunmato, and has sworn a vow to protect the sword from warriors who wish to use the sword for villany.
Xunmato is a flash movie created by Anime Pat & Godlimations that's exclusive to Newgrounds. Xunmato was created in 2004 in the early stages of flash animation and Newgrounds original. I remember watching Xunmato and playing the prequel game Xunmato Alpha Knights and i was hoping for a direct sequel to Anime Pat's original story, but there has not been any news of the Xunmato series, nor the content creator. It's a hidden gem of the early days of the internet and animation creators.
Xunmato is an anime-influenced animation with similarities to Trigun but with a sword wielding protagonist fighting against trigger-happy gangs, which falls into a modern fantasy genre. But in the prequel, "Xunmato Alpha Knights," the game is set in a high fantasy setting with monsters, armored knights, mages, rangers, barbarians, and portals alternate dimensions.
I hope Anime Pat decides to return to the computer to revive his series that many of us grew up with and possibly do a remake with updated animation or a comic adaptation!!
