The folk tale you thought you knew gets gutted and rebuilt as a murder mystery. A red oni and a blue oni are bound together by something darker than legend ever told, and the film spends its runtime pulling apart what "cruelty" and "kindness" actually mean when two creatures can't exist without destroying each other. By the end, you won't know which one you were supposed to root for, and that's exactly the point.

Naita Aka Oni is a feature film based on the classic Japanese folktale Red Oni, Blue Oni, bringing that traditional story to the screen as a single movie with a mystery flavor.
