A film based on the series, Ryujin Mabuyer The Movie Nanatsu no Mabui, was released on 7 January 2012.
One day he feels very weak and consults his 'Auntie" who tells him that he needs to recharge his soul, and helps him by chanting an incantation.
This summons the spirit of Ryujin Mabuyer into Kanai's body, and allows him to transform and fight as the hero.
Nirai / Ryujin Ganasea is Kanai's older brother and formerly one with an Onihito-Devil: General of the Evilcorp (Majimun).
Her Kanzashi turns into a wand with a san attached to it, and then into an uchiwa fan in order to attack with energy.
Ken is a Shisa (Seeser/shi-shi dog) spirit sent to help Kanai train and succeed as Ryujin Mabuyer.
Obachan "Auntie" is an old lady in the town who knows uchina guchi (Okinawan language) and all the old traditions.
Many times Kanai and Kurea can tell if something evil is happening to Okinawa, if Auntie starts acting unusual.
Forest King is a wise spirit of Okinawa, that shows Kanai/Mabuyer and Nirai/Ganasea that you can't fight when angry.
This transforms his clothing into the traditional dress of a character from the story/soul flower.She can summon Ryujin Mabuyer by yelling "SO!
Yui uses his body to summon stolen soul flowers, transforming him into a character from a traditional Okinawan folktale.
(OVA) Jinpun-chan is an old man who lives in the spirit forest, in which only children or those with pure hearts can visit.
He then tells Yui and Yunta to hurry and get the story/soul flower back, before the monsters get it and destroy that part of Okinawan culture and spirit.
Habu-Devil is driven to destroy Okinawan culture because he feels the islands belong to Habu and other monsters (as they were there first) rather than the humans who came later.
He is based on the "Onihito" or Crown of Thorns Sea Star that can be found in the shallow water and coral reefs of Okinawa.
These creatures are large and covered in hundreds of sharp spines that introduce a toxic venom into wounds they cause.
Mangoochu is based on a mongoose, which in Okinawan lore is the rival of the Habu snake, and equally as aggressive.
She is based on a Hime Habu Snake and she resembles a pink and feminine version of Habu-Devil.
Unlike most Tokusastu characters of this kind, they are actually quite successful and helpful when it comes to fighting and evil plans.
Although they are much better at finding the Mabui stones than they are at fighting.They primarily make a 'Koo-Koo' sound to communicate, but occasionally will use words to speak to their leaders.
When the Evilcorps (Majimun) find a Mabui stone and place it in their black jar, it seals that aspect of the Okinawan culture, and the people forget it all together.
Ryujin Mabuyer must retrieve all the stones and place them in his white jar in order to restore the world to normal.
