Director Fujii Michihito, working alongside Okada, has crafted what promises to be a visual spectacle, particularly evident in the large-scale melee sequence at Tenryuji Temple. The set piece was filmed over multiple days and required more than 1,000 cast and crew members to execute.

The series is based on Imamura Shogo's "Ikusagami" series of novels, published by Kodansha Bunko. Fujii directs alongside Yamaguchi Kento and Yamamoto Toru, with screenplay duties handled by Fujii, Yamaguchi, and Yashiro Risa. (ANI)
