Long ago, a human poet described the scenery of this different world that he had heard about from a Disciple like this. ・Disciples of the Crimson World A general term for the inhabitants of the other world, the Crimson Realm. They are sometimes shortened to "Adults." Like the Crimson Realm, they were named by a poet. They came from the Crimson Realm, devoured humans, and wreaked havoc on this world. ・King of the Crimson Realm Among the Denizens, he is an entity with particularly strong power. He is sometimes shortened to "King". Due to the size of his existence, he requires a great deal of "Power of Existence" to continue to manifest in this world. ・The power of existence A fundamental energy necessary for existence in this world. The Addicts manifest themselves by stealing this power from those closest to them: humans. ・Jizaihou (Free-hand technique) A general term for the techniques used by the "Crimson Denizens" and Flame Hazes to "freely" manipulate the "Power of Existence" to cause various phenomena. ・Free-standing type A pattern that unfolds to activate the Unlimited Spell. Manifestation To appear in this world. ・Rinne Servants of the Crimson World's Denizens are born by imbuing objects in this world with the Power of Existence. Their appearance and function change depending on the interests of their master and the object they are imbuing with power. Though they can gather the Power of Existence, they cannot add it to themselves, and cannot maintain their existence without a supply of power from their master. ・Torch A substitute (Daitaibutsu) made from the embers of a human who died after having had the "Power of Existence" consumed. If the disappearance of an existence were to suddenly cause a large distortion in the world, it would be detected by the Flame Hazes, so the Adepts create this to maintain their connection with people and the world for the time being, and to soften the impact that the loss of existence would have on the world. Adepts and Flame Hazes can see a light burning in their chests, which is the embodiment of the remaining "Power of Existence". Because it is made from the remains of the person, it retains the memories and personality of the person before death, and life functions are also performed. As the remaining power is consumed, it gradually loses its relationships with those around it, its place, its role, and its presence, and eventually, when no one notices it, it quietly disappears. With its disappearance, all traces disappear, and it is as if it never existed. Torches that house within themselves the treasure of the "Crimson Denizens", the "Noble Phantasm", are called "Mystes"? ・Mystes A torch that houses a Noble Phantasm within itself. When the host torch burns out, the Noble Phantasm inside is randomly transferred to the next torch. Also known as the "Traveling Treasure House." ・Noble Phantasm An object that can cause a variety of phenomena. ・Fuzetsu A dome-shaped space that stops its interior and conceals it from the outside by cutting off the "flow of causality" from the world. It is also called a causally isolated space. When the closure is performed, a wall of heat haze surrounds the area, and a crest consisting of a strange string of letters is drawn on the ground with fire lines. It is a form of Jizaiho devised in the early modern period by the genius Jizai master "Spiral Organ". It is deployed so that the "Crimson World Denizens" can hide when consuming the "Power of Existence", and so that Flame Hazes can use it as a battlefield against the "Dens". Everything in this world that is imprisoned inside the closure stops, but it has no effect on the "Dens" or Flame Hazes. ・Distortion of the World A distortion has occurred throughout the world, including this world and the Crimson Realm, caused by the Crimson Denizens over-harvesting the Power of Existence. If it continues to expand like this, it is said that a Great Calamity will occur. ・Flame Haze A general term for supernatural beings who fight against the "Crimson Denizens" who are upsetting the balance of this world. They are born by making a contract with the "King of the Crimson Realm," who has decided to fight against his brethren in order to prevent the spread of the "distortion of the world." They fight using the supernatural powers bestowed by the "King" that reside within them. Almost all of them were harmed in some way by the "Crimson Denizens" when they were humans, and are fighting for revenge. ・Sacred Treasures They are objects created by the "King of the Crimson Realm" who makes a contract with a Flame Haze and puts the Flame Haze's body to sleep within his body, to express his will alone.

His true name is "Heavenly Flames", which means "to burn everything down" in the "Crimson Realm", and "Alastor" is the nickname he has given himself in this world (the other "Kings" follow the same naming rule). He only expresses his consciousness through "Cocytus", a pendant-shaped sacred artifact designed with a gold ring on a black jewel. ・Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter The title of a Flame Haze who made a contract with "The Flames of Heaven" Alastor. Currently Shana. ・Yogasa A coat-type black garment that can be transformed freely. It is a manifestation of a part of Alastor's wing, and protects Shana from enemy attacks.

Since the attack itself can only be performed roughly, it is difficult to adjust the strength or aim. ・Akane-iro no Dotou (Scarlet Waves) Sabrac's attack is a huge tsunami of flames. Inside it, a large number of swords of all sizes dance with the flames, and enemies engulfed in the tsunami are exposed to the blades and flames.

In particular, the music in the scene where Shana eats melon bread is very effective in expressing her joy. Sound director Hitoshi Aketagawa skillfully combines character voices and sound effects to bring out the humorous atmosphere of the work to the fullest. In particular, sound effects such as Shana's "Noisy, noisy, noisy" and Marchosias' vulgar laughter are impressive, bringing out the individuality of the characters.
