Synopsis
The Imperial Fighting Troupe is called again to defend Tokyo against the demons. However, this time, the Douglas-Stewart Company is selling a superior fighting machine that will revolutionize Japan's defense and make the Flower Division obsolete. However, the girls suspect something may be wrong when members of their team begin to vanish! But what can they do when their division has been placed on indefinite stand-by status? (Source: Geneon)
Audience Consensus
Audience reception is mixed, leaning towards positive for existing fans and critical for newcomers. The strong music and character art are highlights, but the predictable plot and poor CGI detract from the experience. The film is best enjoyed with prior knowledge of the Sakura Taisen universe.
