Toho and TBS released the first special video for the film VIVANT on their official YouTube channels on November 8, according to cinematoday.jp. The film opens nationwide in Japan on Friday, December 4, with a simultaneous IMAX release.
Titled VIVANT SPECIAL MOVIE -THE LAST PIECE-, the video combines highlight scenes from seasons 1 and 2 with on-screen text referring to a last piece and the biggest mystery in history.
It closes with a first-look scene from the film showing Kaoru Yuki, played by Fumi Nikaido, in a white bridal kimono beside a bewildered Nogi, the protagonist played by Masato Sakai.
The video also includes a voice calling "Yusuke... Yusuke..." — that of Nogi's father, Nogoon Beki, played by Koji Yakusho.
From Sunday drama to cinema
VIVANT began as a TBS Sunday drama about Nogi Yusuke, an intelligence agent of the unofficial unit Bekkan under the Self-Defense Forces. Season 2 aired for two cours from July 2026 and ended with episode 24 on November 8, after which the film adaptation was announced. Season 2 closed with major questions still open, including the true identity of Kaoru, who acted suspiciously in the climax, and the red Bekkan manju emergency call signal.
