The First Necromancer

The First Necromancer' is the first in the Nattodesu: Origin video series, it tells the story of how mentally challenged child Kigen becomes the first Necromancer.

Plot
On Yomi Island, a lush island in the outer regions of Japan, Kigen makes his first kill. His family dog, Jizu.

Nine years later, his father rushes towards the sound of a man screaming in agony, he arrives too late to save the man that Kigen was mutiliating. Realising he has only one option, he imprisons Kigen and calls on Jade, the only sorcerer residing within Yomi. Unfortunatley, Kigen breaks free and attempts to kill Jade, who suceeds in impaling Kigen on a large stick of bamboo.

Deep within the eleventh layer of the Underworld, two Shinigami watch the progress, lamenting that Kigen was never given the chance to be a death god like themselves. The Death God of Urban Enviroments, Yama, decides to imbue Kigen with the Necromantic abilities of the Shinigami, creating the first Necromancer.

Kigen revives and brutally slaughters Jade, before declaring his love for the "voices in his head" (The Shinigami), and after Yama's urging, murdering his father.

A Hellsgate opens, and Kigen gets taken to the Underworld, where a waiting Yama greets him. Yomi island crumbles under the strain, and collapses into nothingess.

Trivia

 * The production log for the film can be viewed on Bricksinmotion.
 * This marks the first Brickfilm set in the Nattodesu universe to not feature Aaron Good or Jimmy Perez, voice actors for Risa Shohisuru and Hi wa Idesu respectively.
 * During the sequence when Yama lists various disciplines, the Pryomancer has an uncanny resemblence to SmithMoviesInk's personal Lego Doctor. This was completely accidental.
 * Jizu the dog was named after the Japanese god of peace.
 * Unusually for a Brickish Films production, The First Necromancer was mostly filmed chronologically.
 * It was originally intended that the finale would have a specially composed score, but due to time restraints this never went ahead.
