It takes the one card everybody rerolled for and finally gives him a runtime. The Animation ran as an omnibus, Oragon the lonely dragon collecting stories about the monsters who might save the Strike World, and Lucifer was always the one the camera lingered on longest before cutting away to Arthur or Solomon. This is that cutaway refusing to happen. A fallen angel gets a title with Despair in it, which tells you exactly which direction the movie intends to take a character most players only know as a number on a stat sheet. Anime made from gacha rosters usually settles for a highlight reel, and the fans who stuck with the Strike World through the anthology years know that's the low bar this one is aiming over.

Monster Strike the Movie: Lucifer Dawn of Despair is a 2020 action fantasy film from the Monster Strike franchise, which draws its characters from the Monster Strike mobile game. As the title suggests, it centers on Lucifer, the fallen angel who appeared among the legendary monsters in the earlier series Monster Strike The Animation. A specially edited version was previewed online on June 13 and 14.
