... Okay, that could actually be pretty cool; but I will admit, it also described like half the anime shows out there. =P(Also, "Just As Planned.")
And I've never even watched anime, so from my point of view, that just goes to show how cliched stuff is.
And then, in the epilogue, you obviously go to check on the defeated 'bigger bad's' corpse, only to find it gone, then ominous laughter surrounds you as you are warped into another dimension before your only remaining team-mates very eyes, setting the scene for a sequel series under a different name, which focuses on a wider range of characters, though for the first half of it your only remaining team-mate is questing to find you, then in the second half we find out what you're doing in the other dimension, and the sequel series ends with you reuniting and discovering many things about the bigger bad, then you return to the normal world, only to find it cracking apart with various other realities bleeding through into it, though mostly realities that appear to grant the 'bigger bad' more and more power. Then the second sequel series starts, under yet another name, in which you have to travel through realities and lessen the 'bigger bad's' power before you can confront him once and for all, however the entirety of reality is about to be destroyed as well as another threat presents itself and, working with the 'bigger bad', revives every single deceased character so far, except they are completely bound to the life of the new threat, willing to serve it at any costs, and any secrets they may have been holding would then become accessible to the enemy. You do eventually kill this new threat, severing the bond, with a free revival for all, and lead your new-found army to the 'bigger-bad's doorstep', where it turns out he has also amassed an army of his alternate universe selves, though less powerful than him, and then he shows his true form... then the final battle begins, and then you yell a bunch of complex anime words, exerting all your magical capabilities, and through various shenanigans you eventually fuse bodies with him to become a being of perfect balance, and destroy his own will inside your own mind. That then leaves you with a dilemma, because your minds had fused, but you kept the appearance of the bigger bad, so your army, victorious but not without casualty over the enemy army, charges on you, and you are forced to the only thing you can do, which is to teleport away into the dimension you were teleported into before, and thus you force your own mind outside of the body, dumping it in the dimension, and return to the world, then you enter a prototype robot body only shown in the first episode, giving yourself SWORD ARMS, and the proper title of 'Blademaster Blademan'. So ends the great tale of the Blademan, but not the tale of the others... and then the show executives start a spin-off show, starring...
