Behind him, a fortress rises from the rubble, and the whole group must marshal their powers to foil his plans.
The film delivers an original storyline that stands apart from the series’ main arc, while still fitting neatly into its overall continuity. Kohei Horikoshi is credited as supervisor and character designer, ensuring consistency with the source material.
