Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Gedoushu are based on actual Japanese yōkai folklore, with Doukoku's design specifically evoking the oni of Setsubun festival traditions.
The kanji motifs in transformation sequences were hand-painted by actual calligraphy artists, not digital effects—a deliberate choice that took 40% longer to shoot.
