Japanese and British soldiers during World War II. Men of different nationalities and languages, enemies to one another. Yet, in extreme circumstances, even their hostility and distrust transform into the strength needed to survive. This film does not simply depict a battle between good and evil, but rather the loneliness and inner conflict of those forced to live as outlaws. As the line between enemy and ally blurs, a strange resonance that transcends language begins to blossom between the Japanese soldier and Olan Ikan. Transcending differences in nationality and ethnicity, for what purpose do people fight, and how can they coexist? This human drama, which harbors universal questions beneath the surface of a fierce, life-or-death struggle, will stir the hearts of viewers. / Swordplay, street fighting, and hunting techniques three distinct styles of action collide! The Japanese soldier, with the spirit of Bushido in his heart, confronts his enemies with razor-sharp swordsmanship and combat sequences so precise they border on the beautiful. The impetuous British soldiers counter with street fighting that harnesses explosive speed and raw physical prowess. And the merman Oran Ikan closes in, armed with a formidable physique, intelligence, and the skilled hunting techniques of a predator tracking its prey. These three distinct fighting styles collide, unleashing one explosive, full-scale action sequence after another as flesh meets flesh. Lead actor Dean Fujioka pushes his own body to the limit, embodying the ultimate test of survival through intense, high-stakes battles and fluid swordplay. / More Than Just a Monster Oran Ikan s Overwhelming Presence, Filled with Intelligence and Purpose, Is a Must-See! The Oran Ikan in this film is not merely a terrifying monster that attacks humans. He is a hunter endowed with a formidable physique and intelligence, yet he possesses a clear reason for resisting human invasion, and his appearance is imbued with pathos and depth. The design is by special effects creator Alan Holt, known for his work on *Jurassic World* and other films. Alan Maxon, who portrayed one of King Ghidorah s heads in *Godzilla: King of the Monsters*, delivered a passionate performance in a live-action suit. The sense of weight and the sound of its breathing things that cannot be achieved with CGI alone make this living, breathing creature" darting through the scorching jungle a must-see. It is 1944, toward the end of World War II. A Japanese military prisoner-of-war transport ship is sunk by an Allied attack, and Japanese soldier Saito and British prisoner-of-war Bronson wash ashore on a deserted island, still chained together. Though the two initially clashed with mutual hostility, the island was home to Oran Ikan," a monster from Malay mythology known as the merman." They begin to cooperate to survive, but when other Japanese soldiers appear, the tragedy escalates. After discovering the monster s nest and a fetus inside a cave, they clash over whether to destroy it just as the mother s fierce revenge begins. The deadly battle between man and merman hurtles toward an unexpected conclusion. Bonus features include the Japanese trailer. Picture label edition.
