Jushin Liger – Dragon Kingdom Dorga – Original Production Cel, Douga, and Background (Sunrise, 1989)

Striking and rare piece from Jushin Liger (獣神ライガー), the 1989 anime series created by Go Nagai and produced by Sunrise. This original production cel features Dorga, one of the monstrous warriors from the Dragon Kingdom, a faction locked in fierce conflict with the heroic Bio Armor Liger. Accompanied by its matching douga and original background, this setup captures the darker, supernatural tone of the series.

Jushin Liger is known for blending mecha, horror, and martial arts in a fantastical setting. The show featured dynamic key animation supervised by talents such as Toshihiro Hirano (character design and animation director), with monster designs and action sequences drawing heavily from Go Nagai’s bold, exaggerated aesthetic.

This cel is a rare artifact from a cult series that influenced later tokusatsu and anime titles with its dramatic transformations, creature designs, and explosive combat.
