- Synopsis
- 【INTRODUCTION】
  Super geezer takes you on a mind bending “aerial This “sensational new virtual movie” is a collaboration between Hiroya Oku, creator of the blockbuster manga “GANTZ” which sold over 20 million copies, and Director Shinsuke Sato who brought the work to the big screen as a two part live action film which recorded box office sales of 6.3 billion yen.
  Noritake Kinashi plays the protagonist Inuyashiki in his first lead role in 16 years. Comedian Kinashi took on new challenges including “wire action” (wire work) stunts and intense battle scenes in this uncharacteristically dramatic role. Takeru Satoh also took on a new challenge in his first “villain” role. He plays the mass murderer Shishigami, an antihero who possesses inhuman powers and kills without emotion or remorse. Satoh uses his physical agility to bring fierce action scenes to life with effortless grace. Kanata Hongo, Fumi Nikaidou, Ayaka Miyoshi and Yusuke Iseya round out the all star cast. The climactic battle between Inuyashiki and Shishigami takes place in modern day Shinjuku. Viewers are in for a heart pounding virtual experience as the protagonists take to the sky, deftly maneuvering between skyscrapers at lightning speed over familiar landmarks in a fierce death match. The film incorporates a seamless fusion of actual footage and CG, as Inuyashiki and Shishi gami’s bodies evolve into deadly weapons and the iconic city of Shinjuku is destroyed. Non stop action and innovative visuals using the latest VFX technology will leave the audience breathless!

  superhuman powers.

Shishigami uses his powers to hurt whoever crosses him, while Inuyashiki uses his powers to save them polar opposites with extraordinary powers, each with their own agendas...
