Rooftop Katana vs Gunman Duel

A 30-second 16:9 hand-drawn anime short: a katana-wielding Girl protects an unarmed Boy from an armed White-Suited Man across a city rooftop at night.

@[char1] defines the Girl; all views are one person, ignore sheet/background. @[char2] defines the Boy; all views are one child, ignore sheet/background. @[char3] defines the Man; all views are one man, ignore sheet/background. Girl owns one unsheathed katana; Man owns one black pistol.

2D sakuga: compressed anticipation, explosive travel, deep foreshortening, parallax, smears, impact frames, hit-stops, recoil, immediate re-entry; restore identities. Preserve the action axis; cross only by visible orbit. In Beats 1-6, shared frames are deep-focus 24 mm wides proving the full twenty-eight-meter gap; close-ups are brief inserts returning wide. Man stays at the far scorch ring through Beat 6.

Exactly 18 shots: 12 opening, 5 close, 1 final; no reload or extras. Each has one flash, casing, projectile, and isolated dry TAK!, never a blended burst.

Beat 1 (0-3s): Rear 3/4 extreme wide holds Girl and Boy foreground plus twenty-eight meters of empty roof. Crane reveals lights dying and dust lifting at the far end, then blue-white arcs form a Terminator-like time-displacement sphere. White flash fills frame.

Beat 2 (3-5s): Ground level inside the collapse: a shockwave reveals Man fully clothed, kneeling in a smoking scorch ring, pistol down. Tilt up as he rises, straightens one cuff, lifts his chin with a contemptuous half-smile; snap wide, Boy two meters behind Girl.

Beat 3 (5-9s): Full-roof profile wide. Boy peeks around her and says dryly in Japanese: {今度は白いエージェント・スミスか？ 姉ちゃん、あいつにネオの動きを見せてやって！} Man raises one eyebrow and his pistol on the last syllable.

Beat 4 (9-13s): From the far ring the man fires 12 shots down the full roof. Alternate the anchored wide with trigger, muzzle, and casing extreme close-ups; always return wide: twelve flashes, twelve isolated TAK! sounds.

Beat 5 (13-16s): On shot 12, extreme slow motion. Dive among twelve staggered bullet lanes, lead them over the full twenty-eight meters with roof parallax, then wrap 180 degrees as they reach Girl. She tracks every lane; Boy's jaw drops.

Beat 6 (16-18s): First bullet enters reach; frontal close-up: {ファック・ネオ。} Time snaps fast. A lateral whip follows one flowing sakuga phrase deflecting all twelve into the parapet: sparks, two hit-stops, elastic recoil, instant re-entry. Man's smile dies; jaw tight, brows pinched.

Beat 7 (18-20s): He explodes from the ring across twenty-eight meters; a ground-skimming camera races backward, both full bodies readable. Shots 13-14 form high-low pressure. She slips between lanes, redirects both away from Boy, and they collide at blade range without pausing.

Beat 8 (20-22s): A lateral arc rides the collision. He jams her blade spine with his pistol, shoulder-checks, fires 15; she turns his wrist so it hits the roof, catches recoil beneath her tsuba, and whips the blade toward his jaw. He grimaces; both rebound from a one-frame hit-stop.

Beat 9 (22-24s): He rolls under her horizontal cut and fires 16 upward. She plants one hand, cartwheels over the muzzle, and at the apex deflects it skyward with the katana flat. Camera rolls 90 degrees with her, then rights itself as she lands between Man and Boy.

Beat 10 (24-26s): Top-down, they spiral clockwise around a gun-blade bind. Lips tight, he hammer-strikes, elbow-feints, fires 17 low. She traps his wrist beneath the tsuba, skims the bullet along her blade into the parapet, then uses recoil to sling him past. Sparks wipe to Boy ducking, peeking back wide-eyed: {うわ…すげえ。}

Beat 11 (26-28s): Low frontal wide across four meters. Forcing back his half-smile, he feints toward Boy and fires 18 at Girl. Lock behind the bullet, overtake it, then whip 360 degrees around her compressed step as she knocks it skyward and completes one clean kesagiri through torso and gun line, landing behind him. Black-white impact frame shears the skyline; casing falls, slide locked open.

Beat 12 (28-30s): He remains upright. Close-up: smile holds, then eyes widen as the diagonal seam burns blue-white. Whip-pull high and wide as his single body peels into ordered translucent afterimages of every attack pose, racing backward along his exact path with the pistol to the original scorch ring. The last echo folds into a blue-white sphere; it pinches shut with a vacuum thunderclap, erasing man and gun without gore. Girl lowers the katana; Boy exhales {おお…}.

Speak every braced line exactly in natural Japanese with accurate lip sync. No subtitles. Wind, breathing, electrical crack, shockwave, steel, ricochets, cloth snaps, and a dark pulse duck beneath every TAK!

Keep exactly one Girl, one Boy, one Man, one katana, one pistol. Preserve identity, clothing, scale, ownership, screen direction, roof layout, scorch ring, and ammunition count. Man never gains a clear line to Boy. Boy only watches, never fights or touches a weapon, and remains unharmed.
