Prabu Boko: Terror of Ekacakra

The story of Prabu Boko is a myth of Wayang and a folk legend surrounding the hundreds of ancient temples and ruins around Prambanan in Central Java.
 
Prabu Boko is the giant, powerful, and sinister king of Ekacakra. He keeps his kingdom subjugated by demanding that every village send one of their residents to be sacrificed every month as part of King Prabu Bokos' meal. 
 
In the village of Manahilan, the only people left are the head of the village Rishi Ijrapa and his own family; everyone else has fled, scrambling to save themselves from the sinister king. At this time, the mighty Bima of the Pandawa family lives in the village disguised as a homeless wanderer. He plans to end the reign of the cruel king by offering himself as a sacrifice to be brought before the king. When the time is right, he will be able to confront and battle the king himself.
