The series is adapted from the one-shot manga “Monsters: Ippaku Sanjō Hiryū Jigoku” by Eiichiro Oda.
Ani-One Asia describes the anime:
In a world where the only “threat” that can disrupt peace is in the sky. “Terror” can cause catastrophic destruction to this world, Dragon. An adaptation of the legendary one-shot manga by 19-year-old Eiichiro Oda, before “ONE PIECE” was serialized. This is the story of Samurai Ryuma.
The cast includes:
Hosoya will reprise his role from the previous dub adaptation.
Jujutsu Kaisen and Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Director Sunghoo Park directed the anime and was also responsible for composing it. Park’s new E&H production studio animated the work. The anime is one episode long.
This one-shot is featured in Oda’s Wanted!, a collection of one-shot manga. Shueisha publishes Wanted! in Japan in 1998. Shueisha first published one-shots in 1994 in Weekly Shonen Jump. The manga features the character Ryuma, who later appears in Oda’s One Piece manga.
