Story

After defeating Tsukuyomi in his Orochi form, Yamato Takeru and Oto Tachibana continue their adventure, facing off against more gods and monsters.

Background

Originally, Yamato Takeru (1994) was going to be the first entry in a trilogy of films loosely based upon the Kojiki legend, the same story that the 1959 production The Three Treasures was based on. The second movie in the series was going to feature an all new cast of monsters, while it would also reunite most of the principal crew behind the first film, including special effects director Koichi Kawakita and director Takao Okawara. Unfortunately, the 1994 movie did poorly at the box office for a special effects film, prompting producer Shogo Tomiyama to delay the sequel for a possible summer release in 1997 before dropping the project altogether.
