Moreover, the teaser presents the dreaded town of Furin which changes the life of Sakura. There are glimpses of significant characters such as Sakura, Kyotaro Sugishita, and Shishitoren members.
The anime adaptation was also successful with seasons in 2024 and 2025 both of which can be seen on Crunchyroll. This fanbase offers significant expectation of the theatrical release coming ahead.
