The series is set in a medieval world where warriors known as Sevalle fought alongside mages, using their incredible combat skills to defend their kingdom.

The story follows Elle Ragu, the skilled warrior known as Shadow Skill, who competes in the fighting tournament held in the city of Kuruda. Elle is the heir to the Sevalle clan Ragu and has spent her entire life training to become the strongest warrior in her family. Together with her adopted brother Gau Ban, who is also a skilled warrior, the two travel the world to fight in various competitions and to protect their kingdom.

Shadow Skill is a series that combines action, adventure, and comedy elements. The show has a unique visual style with well-choreographed fight scenes that are both visually appealing and exciting to watch. The characters are well developed and have distinct personalities, which make them stand out from one another.

Elle Ragu is the main character of the series, and she is a force to be reckoned with. Elle is a confident and powerful warrior who is always eager to take on new challenges. She is skilled in hand-to-hand combat and is never afraid to use her skills to defend her friends and family. However, she also has a softer side and cares deeply for those she loves.

Gau Ban, Elle's adopted brother, is also a skilled warrior and a major character in the series. Gau is the last surviving member of the Ban clan and is taken in by Elle's family when he was a child. Gau is a bit more reserved than Elle but is still a fierce fighter. The two have a strong bond and work well as a team both in and out of battle.

The supporting cast of Shadow Skill is also well-developed and contributes to the overall story. There is the mage Faurink, who has a friendly rivalry with Elle and Gau, and the mysterious Scarface, who is a feared warrior and an important figure in the storyline. There are also several villains that Elle and Gau must face, each with their unique abilities and personalities.

Overall, Shadow Skill is a fantastic series that blends action and comedy in a unique way. The show has memorable characters and a captivating storyline that will keep viewers engaged until the very end. While the series may not be as well-known as other anime franchises, it is certainly worth checking out for fans of the genre.
