Overview
This is the first film in the third installment of the adventure film for boys that depicts the battle between a thief who calls himself "the secret envoy of the Demon Lord" and private investigator Hideo Sayama. In the Toei, the roles are twenty faces and Kogo (Twenty Faces) and Akechi Kogo, with a content that seems to be strongly conscious of the "boys' Detectives" series of Edogawa Rampo, which was later made into a movie.

Primary
Given the generic 'phantom thief' narrative without specific plot details, the film is rated neutral as it likely focuses on individual action, adventure, and a personal moral code rather than explicit political ideology or systemic critique.
This Japanese film from the 1960s/70s features casting and narrative elements consistent with its cultural origin and era. It does not exhibit explicit DEI-driven casting, such as the recasting of traditionally white roles with minority actors, nor does its narrative center on strong critiques of traditional identities. The film's approach to character representation and thematic framing aligns with conventional practices of its time and place.
Secondary
