The hidden detectives appear wearing black cloaks adorned with the Aoi family crest, and when they flip their cloaks, they reveal kimonos with linings in the same colors as the cloaks—black, green, brown, purple, orange, and blue—and the final fight scenes where they slash down villains are incredibly thrilling.
