promo poster for the (then new) Japanese TV show "Yoroiden Samurai Troopers" (1988).
over a black background, the top of the poster has the show logo, with the word "鎧伝" ("Legendary armor") and its furigana in Japanese slanted san-serif white letters, separated in the top middle by a silhouetted stylization of a "kabuto" helmet in bronze color. below it, the words "サムライ トルーパー" ("Samurai Troopers") in Japanese calligraphic ink blot-type font slanted bronze letters; and below it, on top of the illustration and blending with it, the title again, this time in roman san-serif all caps bronze letters ("YOROIDEN SAMURAI TROOPERS").
covering the middle-to-bottom of the poster is an illustration of the main characters (top, in red samurai armor, Ryo of Flames, wielding two katana; below on his waist are Seiji of Light, in green samurai armor, who wields a nodachi, and Touma of the Sky, in indigo samurai armor, tensing his bow and arrow; below on their waist are Shuu of Earth, in orange samurai armor, carrying a naginata forward, and Shin of Water, in light blue samurai armor, pointing a trident-shaped yari to the left side) posing while the masked head of the main antagonist Arago is floating on an overcast night sky above a Japanese castle as background.
on the bottom left corner, in Japanese calligraphic bold white letters the tagline "This is no ordinary matter!" is above a red circle frame with the caption in Japanese black letters "Begins at Saturday April 30th!!"
