Trivia

This theatrical recut includes new footage not in the TV broadcast, specifically extended transformation sequences for Gyokko and additional Hashira interaction scenes.

Cultural

Mitsuri's breathing style choreography draws from traditional Japanese dance forms, with animators studying nihon buyo to capture her whip-sword's flowing movements.
