Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The seven Oni were originally created for a 2004 stage show, then retroactively written into canon because fans demanded it. Franchise synergy at its most shameless.
The Sengoku setting deliberately echoes Kurosawa's 'Seven Samurai' structure — but with demon percussionists instead of ronin. Someone's film studies degree is showing.
