AnisongsThe film is based on the figure skating manga by Tsurumaikada, serialized in Kodansha's Afternoon (15 volumes to date). The series took first place in the Next Manga Award 2022 (print category) and won the 68th Shogakukan Manga Award and the 48th Kodansha Manga Award. Following two TV anime seasons broadcast since 2025, this is the franchise's first feature film.
The stage is the long-awaited All-Japan Novice Championship. Standing before skater Inori Yuitsuka and her coach Tsukasa Akeuraji are the prodigy Hikaru Kamisaki and her personal coach, gold medalist Jun Yotaka. A head-to-head showdown between rivals for the top of the ice unfolds on the big screen.
In the teaser trailer, Inori vows to land her jump — 'I will make it, no matter what' — carrying Tsukasa's words that she has the power to change fate. The teaser visual shows Inori in her vivid red costume heading for the rink, watched over by Tsukasa across the fence.
