‘Largest set in the history of Japanese cinema’

The fight scenes were filmed in a large junkyard set described by producer Okada Shota as “the largest set in the history of Japanese cinema.” One-third of the entire two-parter was shot in that set, which was scorching during the daytime. The cast and the staff jokingly claimed they were “hanging from wires and doing all-out action in the sauna.”

The film’s dialogues were done almost entirely on the set as well. Action director Morokaji Yuta said he wanted to show how the emotions of the characters play against the sharpness of the action scenes. “There’s almost no dubbing,” he said.
