Soldier Soldier Soldier, King (三人の兵士、一つの王 San'nin no heishi, hitotsu no ō, lit. "Three Warriors, One King"), colloquially known as S3K, is a Japanese anime series that was released on VHS from early 2001 to mid-2002. Set in the historical fantasy kingdom of Hseesh, S3K follows the story of two soldiers (Huey and Luey) conspiring to rebel and assassinate their monarch (King Terry) after he sent Huey and Luey on a mission that got their brother, the third soldier, (Duey) killed.

S3K was animated by Parakyo Films, a studio which specialized in machine learning animation; this unique approach is what gives the anime its unique visual style. The studio went bankrupt in April of 2002 and subsequently acquired by Disney; the circumstances regarding these events is currently under fan dispute.

Due to this imbalanced budget, bad marketing, and sudden dissolution, S3K was never finished and never localized outside of Japan. However, Parakyo Films still managed to produce nine of the 13 episodes of the final season. The final four episodes have yet to be found, though rumors circulate regarding the existance of their storyboards. There have been multiple fan subs/dubs of the series, though they remain unreliable at best, and have resulted in discrepenacy among fan interpretation/theory of the lore of S3K.

S3K consists of three seasons. The first season was released from February to April 2001, and consisted of 8 episodes. The second season, widely considered to be the best of the series, consisted of 12 episodes and was released from September of 2001 to early January of 2002. The season was split in to halves each made up of six episodes with a month and a half long break in the middle. Due to the extremely positive reaction to the first two seasons, the third season began production in February 2002, and ceased production in April 2002 before its final four episodes were finished.

Many have speculated how the series could have ended, but no one knows exactly the producers' intent for its conclusion, and the rumored storyboards of the four-part finale have yet to be found.

As of May 2021, most agree that S3K's final ending may be lost to time and forever remain a relic of the past.
