Synopsis
Ryo must battle Bagi, a cat-woman terrorizing villagers, who was once his extraordinary feline companion.
Ryo is tasked by a village to confront a mysterious creature that has been terrorizing the local population. According to legend, this being takes the form of a cat-like woman known as Bagi. As Ryo prepares for this fateful encounter, memories surface of an extraordinary feline companion from his past—one who possessed uncanny intelligence and abilities far beyond those of an ordinary cat. Their shared history spans years of discovery and wonder, as they explored the boundaries between human and animal, civilization and wilderness. Now, these two souls must face each other in a confrontation that will test the bonds of their past connection against the harsh realities of the present. (Source: ANN - edited for spoilers)
