The Shirogumi, Japan's premier VFX studio, wanted to depict a battle between a monster and a human never seen before. This visual had never been seen before in a monster movie. Unlike Monster Verse, this film was also a highly accomplished human drama.

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.

Slapstick drama in a good way. The Seishu Conference took place after the Honnoji Incident. Although it is a period drama, there is a vital element of political strife, with factional strife divided between the Shibata and Hashiba factions and maneuvering to draw out people from both camps.
