Shinobu and Maya Kamizono are walking to Sakurazaki Academy in their school uniforms, having not attended classes for some time. Suddenly, to her shock, the mirror gives off a blinding flash of light. Gazing on her reflection, she remarks having never seen a mirror of this size within the castle before.

She happens to find a mysterious large mirror. However, a door nearby suddenly opens by itself, which prompts her to look inside. While wandering in a castle in Hell, Kurona is cursing the Kamizono sisters, having to be held back a year in the Demon Academy due to her repeated failures. The game was officially announced to be rereleased on the Nintendo eShop on April 12th, 2023. As a result, the game had to be removed from certain English digital storefronts until the name change was complete. On March 8th, 2023, it was announced that the game's name internationally would be changed from Grim Guardians: Demon Purge to Gal Guardians: Demon Purge due to a trademark complaint regarding the use of the term 'GRIMGUARD'. To ensure that players who are familiar with the Gal*Gun cast don't feel alienated, however, Ito was tasked as the scenario writer. Shinobu and Maya in Gal Guardians share the same names, visuals, and settings as in Gal*Gun, but beyond those, they will not clarify. As an example, he said if a character from 'series A' makes an appearance in 'series B', they don't specify whether the two are truly the same character. In regards to whether the Shinobu and Maya of Gal Guardians are the same characters as the ones in Gal*Gun, Aizu answered that internally, they have a policy regarding characters from previous titles appearing in a different series, and that is to not clarify the nature of the character. As of September 28th, 2022, the game is estimated to be 10-15% complete. In the end, it was decided for the game to have a consistent naming. Andrew Singleton, the current producer for overseas localization, had given some tentative overseas titles for the company's team chat. When deciding a title for the game, the question of whether the title would be identical domestically and overseas had come up. This was due to his personal experience when doing promotional activities for Gal*Gun in Taiwan.

Masanori Ito, the Gal*Gun series director, was busy working on other titles at the time, so he was unaware that the project had started until some time later.Īs for why Shinobu and Maya were decided to be the protagonists of this work, this was due to Aizu's feeling that they were popular overseas. Takuya Aizu, CEO of Inti Creates, had been wanting to make an action game for the Kamizono sisters for some time, and one day had decided to approach Kyo Kobayashi about creating the game.
