Released in 2017, Studio Graphinica kicks off this dark, high-stakes battle royale with a premiere that masterfully subverts expectations and establishes a cutthroat world. In "Even Boars May Become Pigs After Seven Generations," the narrative introduces us to the brutal rules of the Juuni Taisen, a deadly tournament held once every twelve years where warriors representing the Chinese Zodiac must slaughter each other until only one survivor remains. The spotlight falls heavily on Inounoshishi, the arrogant and highly trained Warrior of the Boar, who carries the immense pressure of her father’s legacy as the previous tournament's victor. The episode excels in its psychological profiling, building up Boar's calculated tactics and deadly history, only to throw her into a chaotic, sudden first engagement that completely shatters her assumptions. It’s a stylish, tense, and unpredictable start to a deadly game
