Takashi Nakamura, who handled the original concept, direction, original character concept, and art setting, directed the pilot. Noriyuki Matsushita is character designer and Kazuyuki Hashimoto is art director. The film follows Agni, a boy born with a Hizumi whose power awakens Orochi.","whyItMatters":"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.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe pilot film runs at 10:00 AM on Friday, November 13, 2026. Nakamura\u0026#39;s own note frames the work as a test of whether a short video can carry the story\u0026#39;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 \u0026#34;My son.\u0026#34; The credit line is 2026 BLUE RIGHTS / OROCHI.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Takashi Nakamura is credited on Orochi -Seventh Echoes- as original concept, director, character concept and art setting.
