The final selling point of the film is to sow the plot of TBF Season Two.The Episode of Sha Wu Sheng takes place one year prior to the first season of Thunderbolt Fantasy. Professional assassin Sha Wu Sheng has been hired as a personal bodyguard to the notorious thief Lin Xue Ya, the Enigmatic Gale. Sha Wu Sheng expresses his thoughts of a change in lifestyle to Lin Xue Ya as they travel around the land, as he does not wish to live up to his ominous name given to him as a result of the misfortunes surrounding his birth. Lin Xue Ya suggests to his bodyguard to try to live out this life under a different alias and debut this alias at a tournament held by Sha Wu Sheng's former swordsmanship master, the Sword Saint Tie Di Xian. However, Lin Xue Ya has other things in mind.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The Episode of Shang Bu Huan, on the other hand, is a short segment that takes place between the first two seasons of Thunderbolt Fantasy. Shang Bu Huan arrives at a small inn in a town, where he meets a man who suddenly proclaims that he is Shang Bu Huan, and that he single-handedly ended the reign of terror of the Black Demon Sect over Dong-Li by slaying Betsu Ten Gai. The real Shang Bu Huan decides to listen to the man's story, a highly exaggerated and incorrect retelling of the first season's events. Unbeknownst to both men, some remaining Black Demon Sect warriors are after Shang Bu Huan's head and they have some new tricks up their sleeves.The film was released in Japanese theaters on December 2, 2017, and Taiwan on December 8, 2017, bringing back the same All-Star Cast and All-Star Staff from the first season franchise with Japanese voice dubbing only, save for Taiwanese soliloquies; the film also marks the presentation of the Mandarin Chinese version of the theme song, "RAIMEI" sung by T.M.Revolution.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The film's Blu-ray and DVDs were released on April 4th, 2018.

Downer Ending: After Lin Xue Ya framed Sha Wu Sheng for foul play and hiring an archer to injure/kill most of the participants in the Sword Art Assembly, he lost all hope of redemption, regaining his honor, and trust. The only thing left for Sha Wu Sheng to live by is to hunt down Lin Xue Ya and kill anyone who knows him.

comment
Target Audience: The Taiwanese audience were caught by surprise to actually witnessed the "Mealbox Slang" note People would refer to characters who died in stories as "receiving the mealbox"—as in "actors who finished their final scene were offered a meal package to eat once they exit the stage as gratitude." being written in for the story and made its way to the Japanese dub. The other point was a cameo by Pili Series character Qi Tian Di.

Gorn: Even more pumped than Season 1. Pili reportedly submerged their entire crew with their worst bloodbath ever for this film—literally. The whole team of puppeteers commented about their angst of walking out on the streets to buy dinner only to be treated as murderers by everyone who had seen them.

April Fools' Day: TBF Project announced a crossover collaboration between Thunderbolt Fantasy and Touken Ranbu on April 1, 2018; expected for release on April 1, 2206. This, obviously, is a non-canon announcement project. The poster of Shang Bu Huan and Sengo Muramusa is a parody of Thunderbolt Fantasy: The Sword of Life and Death.
