Series Director Toshiyuki Kato talking about adapting the D4C arc

— Is there any future episode where you had to go through a lot of trial and error?

"We are still only in the scriptwriting phase, but there is a scene involving the ability of a certain character who will appear later on. How do we depict on screen those enigmatic pages drawn in the original manga? Director Kimura drew a map of Philadelphia from scratch, we created spreadsheets aligning the movements and locations of each character chronologically, and during the scriptwriting process, the entire staff engaged in an objective deconstruction and comprehension of the most chaotic parts of the original work. Based on that, we will have to figure out a great deal of things, such as the city streets, the scenes where characters enter and exit, the backgrounds, their positioning, and much more. Even now, I am constantly thinking about how we can effectively portray all of this in animation without causing confusion."
