When Raizan suddenly disappears, Shao begins searching for her, carrying her sister’s sword as a connection to the past. Her search leads her to a torii gate, an entrance to an unfamiliar place known as the Garden.
The production brings together a team of experienced industry figures, including Gorō Taniguchi as creative producer, Yukio Takatsu as director, and Taku Kishimoto handling series composition. The episode features character designs by Kazuto Nakazawa, known for his work on various anime productions.
