Her character sought revenge on Douma, an Upper Moon demon, for the murder of her sister. Sadly, Shinobu wasn’t able to defeat Douma and died in the battle, with her body being absorbed by the demon. Hayami spoke about her experience with the film, noting several scenes were emotionally impactful. She described how Shinobu’s feelings towards Douma, the one responsible for her sister’s death, were complex and expressed through a range of emotions and expressions when she finally confronted him.
