~オラクル㠮勇者㠟㠡~, Hepburn: SupaidÄ RaidÄ zu Orakuru no
YÅ«sha-tachi, lit. "Spider Riders: Heroes of Oracle") is a series of
science fiction novels first published in December 2004, published by
Newmarket Press written by Tedd Anasti, Patsy Cameron-Anasti and
Stephen D. Sullivan (books 2â€"3). The series was adapted into an
anime series, produced by Cookie Jar Entertainment and Bee Train, and
distributed by Funimation. Three novels for the series included Shards
of the Oracle, Reign of the Soul Eater and Quest of the Earthen. The
series was broadcast on Teletoon, This TV, and used to be broadcast on
Kids' WB. Koichi Mashimo co-directed the staff at Bee Train with
Takaaki Ishiyama. Writer Yosuke Kuroda adapted the novels. Robert
Pincombe and Shelly Hoffman wrote the English version.Eleven-year-old
Hunter Steel searches for the legendary inner world by following
instructions in his grandfather's journal. He enters a cave where he
finds a mysterious manacle attaching to his arm. A spider startles
Hunter, who falls into a hole to the center of the Earth and into the
subterranean world of Arachna. There, he discovers a small group of
elite warriors struggling to survive and to save Arachna from the
attack of Invectids, a race of insectoids. The warriors are children,
each fighting with the help of their own 10 ft (3.0 m) battle spiders.
They call themselves "Spider Riders". In the English TV series, the
ages of the characters were reduced. There is a prophecy that says a
surface-dweller or Human, like Hunter, will bring disaster to the
Inner World. Sparkle mentions it in the beginning of the TV series.
When Princess Sparkle finds out she says, "I wonder if he will bring
doom to us...or to them."The Oracle Keys are fractions of the Oracle's
power. They are cards that can be split in two. The Invectids hope to
gain them for Mantid, who wants to use their power to rule Arachna.
The Oracle uses much of her strength to protect them. The Spirit
Oracle Key passes its power onto Hunter and Shadow, giving them new
armor and weapons as well as new abilities.To activate the keys, the
holder must shout "Oracle's Light!". Two in combination can create
more powerful armor and weapons. The wielder must have a sincere
desire to protect without arrogance, otherwise the keys will
malfunction. The Oracle Key from Nuuma was called by Corona, using her
power, to let Hunter use it without having to hold it. Mantid used two
of the Oracle's keys to power himself, plunging the Inner World into
darkness and preventing Hunter from using his own keys.
