In A Time Slip of 10,000 Years: Prime Rose, a powerful entity known as Death Mask hurls Kujukuri City, Japan, and Dallas, Texas, 10,000 years into the future, reshaping them into a ruthless battleground where only the strongest survive. Determined to shatter this tyrant's hold on time itself, Gai Tanbara ventures into the dystopian future. Along the way, he meets Emiya, a fierce warrior fighting to reclaim her city from the darkness. Together, they confront the horrors of a shattered world and the sinister forces that threaten humanity's fate.
The film was originally broadcast as part of a Japanese TV charity event called 24-Hour Television: Love Saves the Earth. The main character, Prime Rose, also known as Emiya Tachi, became a popular recurring character in the Tezuka universe.
Osamu Tezuka is widely celebrated as the "Godfather of Manga," and is renowned for revolutionizing the Japanese manga and anime industries with his imaginative characters, pioneering storytelling techniques, and prolific output, which included more than 700 manga works and 500 anime episodes, including groundbreaking works like Astro Boy, Princess Knight, and Kimba the White Lion.
A Time Slip of 10,000 Years: Prime Rose
The Prime Rose manga was originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion from July 1982 to June 1983. However, when the anime project was initially proposed, the manga had not yet finished, so a new story was written specifically for the film. During the early 1980s, there was a surge in popularity among manga fans in Japan for fantasy-adventure manga featuring cute girls. Tezuka was intrigued but resisted numerous reader requests for more "fan service" featuring Prime Rose. He eventually moved on to other projects, but in 1983, his manga was adapted into a feature-length animated film, with Prime Rose portrayed as he had initially intended. Prime Rose also appeared in Astro Boy: Omega Factor, where she had a prominent role as Daichi Tokugawa's girlfriend and the daughter of Acetylene Lamp.
