Shonen action anime style, high-budget Japanese TV anime quality, bold clean black linework, cel shading with hard-edged shadow shapes, strong ink-black shadow fills, vivid colour, cinematic lighting, fluid 24fps animation, speed lines and impact frames on heavy hits only, 16:9. All characters are Filipino with natural Filipino features and warm brown skin. No kimono, no graphic gore. Keep every character and creature exactly as in the reference images. CHARACTER LOCKS (each appears once): @Image1 = Anino: short messy jet-black hair, round human ears, navy sheer-piña barong with gold embroidery, black face wrap, black wave tattoos on forearms, sandals. @Image2 = Alab: long high black ponytail with scarlet ribbon, scarlet-and-black Filipiniana, fern-spiral tattoos on upper arms, abaniko fan with scarlet edge. @Image3 = Buwan: long silver-black hair, white sheer piña barong, soft grey crescent tattoos on collarbone and wrists glowing PALE GOLD. Kneeling, weak, silent. @Image4 = Lunok, a kampilan, the SAME shape in every shot: a long single-edged blade that widens gradually toward a flared, two-pronged forked tip, a plain white-wrapped hilt with a round pommel. NO cross-guard, NO hook-guard, NO ornate hilt, not a double-edged longsword. Bone-white blade with a soft gold glow. @Image5 = the Bakunawa: a giant Philippine sea dragon with a crocodile-like head, curved fangs, swept-back horn crest, jagged back spines, fin-wings, glowing gold slit-pupil eyes. SETTING: a stone shrine on a cliff at night. The cliff drops straight down about thirty metres to a dark sea far below, with waves crashing on rocks at its base. The sea is NEVER at the level of the platform, and no water touches the platform. The pale moon is behind. DIALOGUE LOCK: Exactly ONE spoken line in this clip. Alab shouts "Don't you dare lose to anyone but me!" once at 1.1s as she leaps. There is NO narrator in this clip, and nobody else speaks. Audio otherwise: deep rumble, wind, cord hum, a clean strike at 2.4s, a full orchestral hit at 2.5s. 0-1.0s: Wide 20mm, camera behind the characters at the cliff edge, slightly low. Anino stands at the cliff edge on the left in a low ready stance, feet apart, Lunok held in both hands low in front of him. Alab stands half a step behind him on the right, fan open. Buwan kneels behind them by the shrine door, tattoos glowing pale gold. Far below, the Bakunawa rises out of the sea, its horned head climbing above the cliff edge, much bigger than the shrine, jaws opening, spray streaming from its body. 1.0-2.0s: Slow-motion tracking shot, 28mm. Anino and Alab leap from the cliff edge side by side. Anino raises Lunok overhead in both hands, the forked tip pointing at the dragon. Four dark short-haired shadow-bodies with crimson outlines trail beside them. Alab shouts her line at 1.1s. 2.0-3.2s: Anino thrusts Lunok, with the same forked tip and no guard, into the open jaws while Alab's fan slash lands beside it. A blast of gold and crimson light, one impact frame. 3.2-4.0s: The dragon dissolves into silver mist and sea spray far below, and the pale moon blazes behind it. Avoid: Anino in the doorway, hiding behind a door, sea at platform level, water on the platform, dragon inside the doorway, cross-guard, hook-guard, ornate hilt, double-edged longsword, Western sword, katana, narrator voice, any speech except Alab's one line, white-glowing tattoos, duplicate Alab, long-haired shadow-bodies, pointed ears, kimono, text, watermark, face morphing, flicker, photorealistic, 3D render.
