Mr. Seto selected the fight between Maki and Miwa, who showed overwhelming strength, from episode 17, "Kyoto Sister Schools Exchange Meeting - Group Competition (3). I have a strong impression of this episode 17. It is no exaggeration to say that I fell in love with Maki here. I was also overwhelmed by the powerful images that you could even feel the wind pressure. He also mentioned the quality of the visuals in the film, which depicted depth and atmosphere.

Mr. Uchida selected the scene of Fushikuro's domain development from episode 23, "Kishu Raidou-2-.
