Shikizakura - Season 1

Kakeru, lone survivor of a deadly disaster, visits an exhibit chronicling that terrible day — but what he finds there is more terrifying than anything he could’ve imagined.

Kakeru knows he needs to help that weird girl and her friends who wear overalls. That's exactly what heroes do, right? Now, if he could just track them...

Oni must find receptacles to manifest themselves in the human world. Kaede has personal experience with this phenomenon, as does her former rival from her days as an athletic star.

Kippei knows something is up with Kakeru and is determined to find out what. After all, they are brothers and heroes in training! Or at least they used to be...

The mysterious Black Team also hunts oni, but their targets are on another very frightening level. Now they need White Team help to kill a dangerous Shinja... at least that's what they claim.

To prove he wasn't corrupted by Ibara, Kakeru must show his true courage to Issa, a Team Black hitter who has vowed to wipe all Oni off the face of the Earth.

Kakeru and his friends perform a hero stage show for children. Since they’re actual heroes, this should be a piece of cake! Right?

Ryo vowed to hunt down his father’s killer. When Oka becomes a target, Ryo may finally get the chance he’s been waiting for.

Oka is destined to protect the dreams of others, but what about Oka’s dreams? Don’t they matter, too? Kakeru certainly thinks so, and he’ll do his best to make them come true.

A glimpse of the past provides Kakeru with clarity in the present. He knows the reason he stands here today, but does he have the strength to achieve the impossible?

Oka’s determination to perform the ritual is matched only by Kakeru’s determination to protect her — and the determination of a certain oni to destroy them both.

Beneath the blooming shikizakura, the fight against evil comes to a stunning conclusion, but not everyone will make it to the other side of the perilous final battle.
