The 1997 shounen action series Flame of Recca has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with both English dub and subtitled options. The 42-episode run follows Rekka Hanabishi, a young man who fancies himself a modern-day ninja and finds himself embroiled in supernatural battles after promising servitude to anyone who can defeat him.
Produced by Studio Pierrot, the series adapts the manga of the same name and centers on Rekka's discovery of his own latent powers and his involvement with the elemental ninja clan, Hokage. It features classic shounen tropes including escalating power levels, rivalries, and a quest to protect a powerful healer.
With a MyAnimeList score of 7.35, Flame of Recca offers a complete, bingeable package of martial arts action and ninja lore from an era that defined many battle shounen franchises. The series also has a sequel OVA, Flame of Recca: Final Burning, which concluded the story.
