This cel just had to appear when I told myself I was going to hold off on any major purchases. I am totally blown away by how beautiful it is. I really love fierce-looking creatures. This oversized cel was used three times during the show. The first time was right at the end of episode nine; he is shown guarding his treasure, including the Scepter of Domination. The second time it appears is when he has run off to his lair after his right eye is injured by a giant crossbow bolt. The third time is when Shooting Star attacks Ashram.

Little did I know that four years after buying this cel, I would get the opportunity to purchase the matching genga, drawn by Yutaka Minowa himself.
