The Animated Series did inspire three OVA Sequels (Original Video Animation), a short-lived Kodomo manga illustrated and written by Ryūichi Hoshino, and a video game crossover with Ragnarok Mobile. It would later be licensed in the United States, to air and receive an English Dub in the late 90s.

The upcoming sequel, Yoroi Shin Den Samurai Troopers, will unfold an entirely original story set in present-day Shinjuku. As the seal imprisoning the Demonic Youja realm breaks, waves of Youja soldiers invade the human world. In humanity’s darkest hour, five young samurai—new “Samurai Troopers”—rise to face the threat.
