From the fall anime “Shikizakura”, the outline and sneak peek of episode 3 “High Flight / Jump” (began broadcasting on Sunday, October 24) have been released.

“Shikizakura” is an original anime born in Nagoya (Tokai Area).
Set in Nagoya, the hero action story follows the protagonist Miwa Kakeru getting in the middle of a battle between Onis, who appear from a different world to feed on humans, and Yoroi, powered suits created by the fusion of ancient alchemy and a cutting-edge technology.

Episode 3 is titled “High Flight / Jump”.
Invasion by Onis is getting more furious, and Shiro-gumi is bombarded with flying Onis that have not appeared so far.

Onis use humans as “Yorishiro” to come to this world. The humans used as Yorishiro will be kept in danger unless the Onis are defeated. While struggling, they succeeded in saving the humans used as Yorishiro with the great assistance of “Naruse Kaede”.

Kaede feels rough while talking with Kakeru, who has got carried away. Even though Kaede’s best friend “Yamada Haruko” is worried about her, Kaede still won’t open her mind to Haruko. Then, Haruko tells Kakeru about the past of Kaede…
