Choujin Densetsu Urotsukidouji 5: Kanketsu-hen

Synopsis

Continues the story of Urotsukidoji IV: Inferno Road

Directly following the conclusion of Urotsukidoji III, the survivors of the Azuma kingdom genocide travel aboard a futuristic tank with Osaka as their destination. There, they plan to face both the Overfiend and their own fates as well. Along the way, they stumble upon a civilization beyond imagination, where children cruelly rule over the adults. It is up to Amano Jyaku to save his friends from this sinister land and its evil ruler, Ellis. Shortly after their encounter, Sui Kaka Ju's sister Yoenhime summons Munhihausen, who transforms her into the menacing Yoenki. At last, she is strong enough to reap revenge on Amano for killing her brother. But Munhihausen has his own hidden agendas. The Urotsukidoji legend will finally reach its climax in Osaka, when Kiojo, the sweet and innocent Himi, and the Chojin meet face to face.

In this installment

Only a single episode of this entry reached partial completion, and the released version suffers from numerous instances of missing in-between animation frames. The narrative focuses on the arrival of the true Chojin, a hermaphrodite entity intent on eradicating all life on Earth. Notably, the production setup leaned heavily into connections with the first two, more popular installments of the Urotsukidoji saga. This included the return of Nagumo and Akemi, who had been absent since the early episodes of Part III, alongside redesigned character models that mirrored the earlier aesthetic. Conversely, several less popular characters introduced in chapters III and IV, specifically Buju, were completely absent. Despite these strategic choices, the final saga failed to gain traction, and the story was ultimately shelved.
