What Is Ubel Blatt Anyway?

Originally created by Etorouji Shiono for Square Enix’s Young Gangan magazine in 2004, Ubel Blatt tells a dark fantasy story that’s about to make waves with its new TV anime debut. As for what to expect from the story, Pony Canyon begins to tease Ubel Blatt as such, “The ultimate in dark fantasy is finally becoming an anime! In 3968 AD, to stop the invasion from Wischtech, Land of Shadows, the Emperor had equipped fourteen young souls with lances and sent them on a mission. It was believed that three lost their lives on the journey, four had betrayed the Emperor and joined the enemy, so they were eliminated.”

The synopsis continues with, “But this was actually due to a betrayal by the other seven who wanted all the glory for themselves. After their return to the Empire, they were given the title of the Seven Heroes. They had gained the respect of the people and rose to statuses of glory. Meanwhile, the others were deprived of their distinguished military service and labeled the Traitorous Lances. One swordsman named Ascheriit managed to survive by consuming fairy flesh. He retained the physical appearance of a young man, changed his name to Köinzell and twenty years later, he begins his journey to get revenge against the Seven Heroes!”
