The following summary reflects the general order of events, not the episode order.
The early events of the plot are not presented in chronological order, rather, they are pieced out in occasional episodes within the first two-thirds of the series. The section that takes place in the far past also loosely depicts the tale of Kibitsuhiko no Mikoto, about a prince and his retainers defeating a demon that is later confined to the shrines of Okayama. Okayama Prefecture, setting of the series, holds a claim over Momotarō as a folktale originating there, although many Japanese folklorists do no share this view. In Momotarō, the titular "Peach Boy," gathers three friends, a dog, a pheasant, and a monkey, to fight and defeat the Oni plaguing their village. It was released on July 10, 2018.Ĭharacters and some details are very loosely inspired by the popular Japanese folktale Momotarō.
