‘Saint Young Men: Holy Men vs Demon Army’ (聖☆おにいさん THE MOVIE ホーリーメンVS悪魔軍団) is a 2024 Japanese fantasy comedy written and directed by Yuichi Fukuda.

Based on the manga by Hikaru Nakamura, the film focuses on the lives of Jesus and Buddha, who reside peacefully in Tokyo, until a heavenly messenger appears to present them with a forbidden proposal. The cast includes Kenichi Matsuyama, Shota Sometani, Kento Kaku, Takanori Iwata, Mai Shiraishi, and Ryo Katsuji.

Synopsis: Earth is a shining, life-filled planet, one of many in the vast universe. Jesus, the son of God, and Buddha, who had safely survived the end of the century, were secretly enjoying a vacation below ground, feeling the changing seasons of Japan. They live together in a six-tatami apartment without a bath in Tachikawa, Tokyo. They share ice cream, enjoy lucky draws at the local shopping arcade, and form a comedy duo called “Punch and Long Hair.” One day, as they spend their days carefree, an emissary from heaven appears and makes a forbidden offer. Before long, this leads to an unexpected crisis of the destruction of the Earth, with gods, Buddhas, angels, and demons all mixed up!

‘Saint Young Men: Holy Men vs Demon Army’ opens across Japan on December 20, 2024.
