Tenkai Knights

Synopsis

In the ancient past, the peaceful cube-shaped world of Quarton, made of shape-shifting blocks known as Tenkai, was ravaged by conflict between the Corekai and the Corrupted, led by the oppressive warlord Vilius. His aim was to control Tenkai Energy. Only the Tenkai Knights—Bravenwolf, Tributon, Valorn, and Lydendor—had the strength to stand against him. In their ultimate battle, Vilius unleashed the massive Tenkai Dragon, but the Knights vanquished it, sending its fragments across Quarton. Though the Knights vanished after that fight, the Corrupted have now regained their power. On Earth in the year 2034, four teenagers—Guren, Ceylan, Toxsa, and Chooki—discover a gateway to Quarton and are selected by the Guardians to become the new Tenkai Knights, fated to stop Vilius from taking over both worlds.
