This film wraps up the popular sci-fi anime series, which started in 2012, and truly delivers for longtime fans. It finally reveals why Akane Tsunemori was imprisoned and uncovers the truth behind the central case, weaving a complex and satisfying story. While it can be tough for newcomers to jump in, those who have followed the series will find it especially moving.

Otokotsu, a different character from the main character, Torajo, is a shonen manga protagonist with old-fashioned friendship, hard work, and growth. And since this film is an original story as a prequel, it can be enjoyed even if you have not seen the TV anime, and the action is so cool that it is a representative theatrical animation of the 2020s.

Kougami, who did not appear in the second season of the TV series, made an appearance. Since he disappeared at the end of the first season, and that was the end of it, it was good to see him say goodbye to his friends. The farewell to Ginoza is especially memorable.
