Konishi describes his approach to Shiba as a balance between a carefree exterior and a core of genuine, effortless strength. The actor, who has followed the Weekly Shonen Jump manga since its initial volume, noted that he specifically sought to capture the character’s elusive vibe, which serves as a necessary anchor for the story’s grim, revenge-driven tone. The anime, produced by studio Cypic, features direction by Tetsuya Takeuchi and character designs by Keigo Sasaki.
