Why it matters
The pilot arrives with an explicit caveat that its content, expression, and design may differ from the finished film, so BLUE RIGHTS is treating this as a trial run for the main production rather than a trailer of record.

Nakamura's own note frames the work as a test of whether a short video can carry the story's worldview, adding that he wants visuals that change further in the main film. The story is set in Kukulkan, a country supported by the waves of sound, and centers on Agni, abandoned by the royal family because of the Hizumi inside him. His inner power awakens Orochi, a calamity that should have died a thousand years ago, and the awakened Orochi addresses him as "My son." The credit line is 2026 BLUE RIGHTS / OROCHI.
