What today’s reveal includes beyond the key visual
The announcement confirms production on a new Sakai City–set chapter and releases a special video that frames kaiju battles against the city backdrop. It also introduces the leads—Maru (voiced by Aki Yamane) and Coco (voiced by Karin Takahashi)—with brief cast comments highlighting Maru’s upright, empathetic nature and Coco’s sharp, mission-driven resolve as a kaiju handler of the Idara tribe.
Project context inside the wider KAIJU DECODE transmedia
KAIJU DECODE is a Toei × Tsuburaya transmedia initiative themed around “a story of a kaiju and a girl.” Earlier entries include a 9-minute short (streaming on TSUBURAYA IMAGINATION), a VR animation -first contact-, and an MR game -super multiverse MR- (both distributed via Meta Store). Idara’s Ring extends that world with a new anime storyline.
Sakai City setting and how the teaser frames the locale
The new video stages explosive kaiju sequences in and around Sakai, the anime’s setting. As part of local tie-ins, a talk show and MR game trial were held at the Sakai Festival.

Premise crib sheet for quick onboarding
In AD 2070, the “Skyfall Catastrophe” rains down space stations and an unknown bacterium that fuses with matter, spawning “hyper-limit organisms.” Humanity retreats into a constraint-free society called the City, while hazardous areas become the Zone. Maru lives peacefully in the City; Coco, of the Idara people, survives in the Zone among kaiju. Their meeting drives a story about bridging divided worlds.
