Scene 1A — Opening Shot

📷 Camera fades in. Wide shot of a Japanese Zen Garden. Jiyu no Toshi and O-Sensei are visible in the scene, standing facing each other.

🎵 Music begins (calm, traditional Japanese). Ambient sounds: flowing fountain water, light wind.

Scene 1B — O-Sensei Reveals the Sphere

📷 Camera slowly moves toward the two characters, then turns to face O-Sensei directly — frontal view.

O-Sensei raises his left arm. In his hand he holds a sphere the size of a billiard ball. The Polkadot logo is visible on the sphere.

Scene 1C — Jiyu's Response

📷 Camera cuts to Jiyu's face — close-up. His eyes narrow slightly. His entire expression signals he is ready to strike.

Scene 1D — First Attack: Failed Grab

📷 Camera pulls back. Jiyu and O-Sensei are seen from the side.

Jiyu moves with lightning speed, thrusting his right arm forward to snatch the sphere from O-Sensei's hand. O-Sensei is faster — he moves the sphere behind his back.

O-Sensei laughs — benevolently, but with a hint of amusement at the attempt.

🔊 O-Sensei's laughter.

Scene 1E — Second Attack: Jodan Mae Geri

📷 Slow motion, close-up: Jiyu executes a Jodan Mae Geri (front kick to the head).

His foot narrowly misses O-Sensei's face — O-Sensei evades by bending his upper body backwards in the style of classic kung fu films.

🔊 Combat sounds. Slow-motion whoosh.

O-Sensei laughs again — and mockingly holds the sphere within Jiyu's reach.

Scene 1F — Third Attack: Oi Zuki & The Transfer

Jiyu attempts an Oi Zuki (lunge punch).

O-Sensei — with seemingly limitless speed and strength — throws the sphere upward and catches Jiyu's punch with his left hand. His left hand closes around Jiyu's fist.

In a single fluid motion, O-Sensei rotates Jiyu's fist and opens it. A moment later, the sphere — which had been thrown upward — falls into Jiyu's open hand.

🔊 Sphere falling into hand.

O-Sensei closes Jiyu's hand into a fist around the sphere.

Jiyu bows respectfully before O-Sensei.

Scene 2A — Scene Change

📷 Cut. New setting: a Dojo.

🎵 Music changes — epic, dramatic theme begins.

Scene 2B — The Laptop

A laptop stands in the Dojo. Jiyu walks toward it and then looks down at the sphere in his hand.

The sphere opens — the two halves are connected by a hinge. Inside the sphere: a USB stick.

🔊 Sphere opening sound (hinge).

Jiyu removes the USB stick and inserts it into the laptop.

🔊 USB inserted into laptop.

Scene 2C — Transition to Website

📷 Camera shifts to the laptop screen. The homepage of polkadot-sensei.org appears on screen.

📷 Camera slowly moves closer to the screen — until the screen fills the entire frame at its natural size.

📷 The viewer now feels as if they are Jiyu, looking at the screen. The animation ends here.

The "Start" button appears on the homepage → the login process begins.
