Plot (anime)

The Akita - Kishu mixed breed puppy Weed ( ウ ィ ー ド , dt. “Weed”) travels to the legendary dog ​​paradise of Ohu in the Futago Pass (dt. Twin pass) to find his father gin ( 銀 , dt. “Silver”) who leads the pack of dogs that rules Ohu. In Ohu he has to fight against the human and dog- eating dog Kaibutsu ( 怪物 , dt. "Monster" / カ イ ブ ツ ), also called P4 , which was a former laboratory experiment. His friend and old fighter Smith dies, but Kaibutsu is also killed.

But they can't look forward to victory for long, because Hōgen, a Danish mastiff, appears. He attacks Gin and his closest confidante, the German shepherd John and the Kishu Akame, and kidnaps them. Weed has many followers, including Kurotora's son Kagetora and Ben's son Ken, but his opponent is also becoming more and more powerful. Finally there is a fight over Gajou, the stone fortress that the bear Akakabuto had created 14 years earlier. Hōgen and Weed hurt each other very badly and Weed almost dies, but suddenly the ghosts of the dead Ohu fighters, including Smith, appear in Weed's field of vision. This orders him to get up. Weed lets out a loud battle cry, uses the Battouga again and Hōgen appears to be defeated, but he is still moving, which is why Gin bites his neck and tries to kill him, but Weed pushes his father aside and explains, that if you killed yourself, you weren't much better than Hōgen. Gin realizes that weed is a better leader than him and hands him the rank of leader. Everyone bows to weed, but Reika, an Akita bitch, notices that Hogen has disappeared. He likes Gajou and laughs, believing himself to be the winner of the fight, but is struck by lightning and dies. Now peace returns to Ohu and Weed is the leader of paradise.

Characters

gin
( Akita Inu ) Gin is Weed's father and the legendary leader of the dogs Ohus. He was the dog who 14 years ago killed Akakabuto, a giant demon bear, with the battouga, a fighting technique that only the leaders can master, and thus brought peace to Ohu.
Weed
( Akita - Kishu - mixed breed dog ) Weed is the son of Sakura and Gin and thus the future leader of the dog paradise Ohu. When he was still a young dog he used the Battōga and was discovered by Smith, an old friend of his father's. He explains to him that he is the son of the legendary leader and accompanies Weed and his friends in search of Weed's father. He has to endure many adventures, such as killing the giant mutant dog Kaibutsu, also called P4, and finally defeating the archenemy Hōgen so that he can free his father from Hōgen's clutches and finally get to know him.
Sakura
( Kishu ) Sakura is Gin's mate and thus Weed's mother. She is sick, which is why Weed wants to get her food, but Sakura collapses in Weed's absence and dies a little later in front of his eyes. Shortly before her death, she asks Smith, a friend of Weed, to grant her last wish: Weed should meet his father, gin.
Akame
( Kishu ) Akame was the legendary leader of the ancient clan of Iga's ninja dogs. He joined gin and became his tactician. He, Gin and John are attacked by the Great Dane, Hōgen. Gin sends Akame away to find his son Weed. When he finds him, Akame begins to cry. Hōgen is planning a siege on Gajō. He sends his brother, Genba, out, but Akame manages to escape by hiding in the nearby river. He decides to warn Genba that if he doesn't go back it will be his death. To make the seriousness of his words clear, he wounds Genba in the head. After Genba's death, Akame begins working as a guardian for weed just as he was for gin. After Hōgen was defeated, he lived peacefully in Ohu.
Hogen
( Danish mastiff ) Hōgen is a Danish mastiff who wants to conquer and rule Ohu. In order for his plan to work, Hōgen takes Gin and his closest confidante, John and Akame, prisoner. He later has a terrible fight with weed, but dies seriously injured when he is struck by lightning.
Genba
( Danish mastiff ) Genba is the younger brother of Hōgen, together with him he conquers Ohu. He dies when his brother tears off his scalp, as Genba was so badly injured in a fight that he himself no longer recognizes Hōgen and attacks him because he thinks he is an enemy.
Kaibutsu
(Mutant dog) Kaibutsu is a human gene experiment also called P4. He escaped from a laboratory and has been killing and eating all the people he sees in revenge ever since. His only friend is the German shepherd Jerome. It has been searched in vain for years, but weed can track it down and eventually kill it.
Kamakiri
( Irish Wolfhound ) Kamakiri is an ally of Hōgens, who after Genba's death developed his own plans to take over the Futago Pass. He was left to die by Hiro because he wanted to take revenge for his father, whom Kamakiri had previously killed.
