Synopsis

The age of demons has begun, as foreseen by Dr. Faust. Knowing he is near death and unable to confront this growing threat himself, he entrusts the task to Shingo Yamada, a young boy. Faust discovers a birthmark on Shingo’s forehead, indicating he is the chosen demon fighter. To aid Shingo, Faust summons Mephisto, a reluctant devil who may be humanity’s only hope for survival. After signing a pact in blood to protect humankind, Shingo and Mephisto embark on a mission to battle the supernatural forces.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
