His son, the heir of the throne Arslan, is a searching 14-year-old boy. Despite all Andragoras’ efforts, the heir doesn't seem to realize what a king needs to be a wise and competent ruler. Instead, Arslan goes to his first battle and loses it as the blood-soaked war mist makes him meet the demise of his once prosperous homage. Since it is Arslan's prospect to be a ruler it is he who must eventuate a journey to get his realm back.

Despite the fact that Arslan Senki is a remake, and remakes are typically unpopular, this series has done quite well in the ratings department and enjoyed viewers’ accolades.
