Ginga legend weed

14 years ago, Gin, the leader of the Ou Mountains, overthrew the demonic bear Akakabuto, who invaded Futago Pass. He applied Buttog, Wolf strike, and thereby defeated him. After this victory, this place was called Dog Paradise and blocked the road to it. Gin and his comrades lived in peace and tranquility, but suddenly a terrible monster attacked them. The leader’s friend, Sakur, thanks to Smith, managed to be taken to a safe place.

And now 6 months have passed. The English setter JB, hunting, came across a puppy of the Akita Inu breed , who was trying to steal food from him. The puppy was of brindle color, like Gin. Hearing the story of his sick mother, JB took pity and gave him the booty. But when JB returned to his leader Nero, he demanded to find him prey before sunset. JB sat and wondered where to find food, because there was a guard dog on the farm where Nero sent him. And then he saw his friend Sasuke, who did not know about the guard dog, and decided to use it. And perhaps Sasuke would have died if not for that puppy. During a fight with a guard dog, that puppy felt uncontrollable anger inside himself and, not knowing how, applied Battougou. All this was accidentally seen by a dog named Smith, a veteran of the war with Akakabuto. Smith realized that this puppy is the son of the Leader. After that, they go to Sakura, where Smith makes a promise to escort her son to the Ou mountains, after which Sakura dies. The next morning, GB gives the puppy the name “Weed” and they set off on a journey to search for the Ou Mountains, Dog Paradise.

Weed has a lot to go through. First they get to the city, where they fight with a dog nicknamed Blue (Blue). After they get to the Ou mountains, but there they are waiting for a fight with the Beast that captured Paradise. During the battle with the Beast, Weed meets new friends who will complement his team. Among them are bosom friends, sons of veterans of the Gore Ou, Great Dane Ken and kai Kagetora, as well as five killer dogs that were hired to destroy the Beast, led by the German shepherd Jerome, who later becomes Weed's best friend. In a battle with the Beast, four out of five killer dogs, as well as veteran Smith, die.

And now, when the battle with the Beast is already behind, a new danger appears on the horizon: the treacherous Hogen from the Southern Alps comes to the Ou mountains to capture them. He takes by surprise the three leaders of the Ou Mountains - Gin, Akame and John. While Gin and John held back the onslaught of the Hogen warriors, Akame managed to escape in order to find Weed. Gina and John were captured. Now Weed, with his new friends, must find and save his father, and then become the new leader of the Ou mountains. During his journey, Weed will meet even more new friends, defeat enemies, increase his army, held together by good, and learn the real techniques of the Zetsu Tenro Batoga. This will be the true Legend of the Silver Fang of Weed.

But, considering that his father was avenged, he did not kill the traitor, but simply let him go.
• Rocketto - Russian canine greyhound . Like most greyhounds, a rocketto can run very fast. This skill was highly praised by Hogen, who ordered the three Borzoi brothers to go in search of the Oy army, track down their leader and kill him. They did a great job of part of their mission: Roquetto infiltrated the Weed flock under the guise of a friendly friend, and then, choosing the right moment, grabbed the puppy and disappeared from sight. Before the assassination of Wade, Rocatto and his two brothers, Jet and Missel, decided to teach the puppy a lesson so that he no longer trusted the first comers, but Jerome who appeared on time defeated the three brothers in a few minutes.

Kiosiro, who noticed this, decided to punish the bad-headed father, and, despite the intercession of Weed, bit his father Teru's ear and threw him off a cliff. He also forbade him from approaching Ter. Of course, Father Ter wanted to take revenge, and the chance for this appeared almost immediately. The lecturer and Thunder, sent by Hogen to kill Kiyoshiro, immediately realized that Teru's father could become a reliable ally to them. With the help of Teru's father, they ambushed Kiyoshiro and Weed, thereby provoking a fight. However, during the battle, Teru's father's opinion of Kiyoshiro began to change. First of all, he was struck by the fact that, despite his betrayal, Kiyoshiro was ready to protect him from Dobermann killers. Then, when his son Teru was taken hostage, trying to help Kiyoshiro, his father threw off his cowardice and fought bravely to save his son. He succeeded, but he was seriously injured and died a few minutes after the fight. Before his death, he begged his son to forgive him for everything, but Teru did not have time to do this.

This made Kiyoshiro lay siege to the puppy because the dog did not want Teru to become violent. Kiyoshiro allowed Ter to stay with him while the rest of their pack sought Thunder and Lector. He behaved with him like a loving father, which made the puppy more enthusiastic about him. But just a few minutes later, Teru was taken hostage by Lecturer and Thunder. He behaved very bravely and asked Kiyoshiro to let him die for the sake of other dogs from their pack. Kiyoshiro was very impressed with this speech and was ready to give his life to save Teru. But Weed's intervention saved both of them. During the fight with the Dobermans, Teru tried to take his son away, but he refused to obey him and rushed to the aid of Kiyoshiro. The puppy was again taken hostage, but was saved by his father. He received serious wounds and died immediately after the fight. Teru posthumously forgave him everything and went on with Kiyoshiro and Weed. He was later left by them in the village of Koga along with other puppies from the Kiosiro flock. Teru vehemently protested against this decision, because he was ready to die for the sake of his friends.

One day, Weed comes into his territory, introducing himself as the son of the famous leader Gin, and asks Tessin for help so that he joins Ou's army and helps defeat Hogen.

Nonetheless, Tyuro suddenly appeared, dissuading his student and asking Tessin to reconsider his opinion. Inspired by the words of the mentor, Kurozaki’s son leaves the clan’s territory and sets off not to search for the wounded leader. Having easily found him in an abandoned barn, he talks with Gin, more and more convinced that the situation is becoming more complicated and the precarious world in the Ou mountains is again violated.

Having refused, the leader of the Koga-clan leaves the territory of Hogen, returning to himself. Shortly after this, he helps the Weed army and reports that it is now part of the Oy army and will accompany the new leader on his journey to the end. It was Tessin who opened for Wid the famous Battug Wolfstroke technique, with which Gin cut off the head of the demonic bear Akakabuto.

His plans were almost successful, but in time, Weed, the son of a true leader, came to the rescue of his father, and then, together with his army, overthrows the rebellious Great Dane. Hogen’s death in the manga and anime is different: in the manga, he is killed by a person who has long followed the cannibal brothers and wants to avenge the death of his partner; in the anime, he went crazy due to a severe head wound and because of this he climbs to the very top of Mount Gajo, where he dies from a lightning strike.

Unlike his brother, Gamba was not so skilled as a tactician and warrior, which ultimately leads to his death. In the middle of the saga, he arrives on the territory of Ou with a huge army of dogs to capture Gajo before the arrival of Hogen. He manages to achieve the goal through enormous losses: the four sons of Tyutora defended Paradise until one of them escaped from the battlefield towards Mutsu to ask for help from Gin's old friends. In revenge, Gamba killed the remaining three brothers, and threw their bodies into a stormy river. Later, after meeting with his brother, he, at the request of the latter, gets out of cover to search for females in the vicinity. He is accompanied by the combat tosa Toube. However, Gamba's group meets with Sigure, the only surviving son of Tutora, and the sons of Kisaragi, the great General Mutsu, a veteran of the war against Akakabuto. There is a battle to which Weed joins with his army and Kurotor, the uncle of the dead nephews who wanted revenge. Gamba fought with Akame for a while, but Weed prevented him. The battle between the two leaders was not destined to happen, since Tessin and Sigure attacked Hogen's brother together and, having thrown off the mountain, injured his head. At the end, Gambu was brought to Gajo by subordinates, where he woke up and attacked the dogs, and then his brother. Hogen killed him, thus stopping suffering.
• Kamakiri is an Irish wolfhound , an insidious and greedy dog-killer. In his youth, he was a subordinate of Yukimasa, Hiro's father, but he did not like this role and he decided, in agreement with the rest of the rebels, to kill his leader. Their plan was put in place a few days later. Little Hiro was forced to watch his father mercilessly torn to pieces. In the end, Kamakiri deprived the little puppy of his eyes, but did not have time to kill, because someone appeared compassionate and saved the leader’s son. Nevertheless, his whole life was destroyed and he was forced to choose the path of a lone, useless wanderer. Meanwhile, Kamakiri was building up its forces, capturing all nearby territories. At some point, rumors reached him that the Great Dane Hogen had captured the leader of the Ou mountains and was now looking for allies for a full-scale invasion of Paradise. This led the wolfhound to recruit several more warriors in the lands where Rocatto was once born. At this point, the pack of Weed also arrived on this territory and met with the army of Kamakiri, taking him for the leader of the clan. Hiro, who by that time had joined the Ou army, recognized the old killer of his father as a wolf. There was a battle that was interrupted by people who started shooting dogs. Kamakiri, along with his army, left the occupied territory and gradually reached the lands of Hogen. The meeting with him ended deplorably for him: the Great Dane, who saw the greedy little soul in him, immediately, through threats, warned of the consequences of betrayal. At the end, Kamakiri nevertheless acted in his own way: violating Hogen’s ban on approaching the enemy army, he thought he could deal with Wid’s small detachment, but Hiro, who came to the aid, attacked the long-standing murderer Yukimasa. The battle did not last long and ended in the complete defeat of Kamakiri. However, Hiro showed mercy to his old enemy and allowed the second to leave, however, a wolfhound devoid of fangs could only eat rats.

Together with his brother, they received a decree to find Kiyoshiro and kill him so as not to allow him to enter into an alliance with Weed. These plans were not destined to come true, because by that time the leader of the Ou mountains had already agreed on an alliance with the leaders of Sigi. A fierce struggle ensued, during which one of the brothers lost their front fangs, and the second was badly wounded. Despite their disgusting thoughts, Weed shows nobility and lets go of assassins. However, this did not stop them from attacking Weed again in a small abandoned barn, where, as Akita thought, his father Gin was held hostage. The next fight ended just like the first: the second brother lost his front fangs, and they were again released.

Many characters are missing, including those from the previous Ginga Nagareboshi Gin manga. Manga continued to be released after the anime ended and therefore more characters appeared there (monkeys, hybrid bears, German shepherds from Russia).
