It has been clarified that this TV spinoff is separate from the previously crowdfunded fourth season of the anime, and will be animated by Makaria.
Collaborating with the town of Takamori in Kumamoto Prefecture, the anime is filled with references to Fist of the North Star, from its title to its visual and teaser trailer. In the anime, Yurine takes on the role of a tyrant ruling over a Jinbocho left in ruins following a meteor strike. In her quest to defeat Yurine, Jashin-chan travels south and has an unusual encounter in Takamori, all while guided by the stars.
