A #Shibui❗️ tribute With the upcoming launch of Shibui‘s first Manga ”The Eternal Blade“ I want to take a moment and highlight the amazing journey of The Soulless Citadel and what excites me most about its future. 1) The Origin Shibui started out as a 5k NFT collection on Zilliqa. It was marketed purely as a storytelling project and was one of the first to do so. Minting out took about 8 days and holders received what they were promised - the full story of the Soulless Citadel. What we didn’t know back then is how much more we‘d receive. 2) The first big moves As the first collection of this size to mint out on Zilliqa it was clear that this success wouldn’t be the last. The Soulless Citadel hired Hollywood writers (Janet and Lee Batchler - known from Batman Forever) and the Hollywood 3D artists behind Minions, The Super Mario Bro‘s movie or Love, Death and Robots. Obviously those news skyrocketed through the Zilliqa ecosystem. 3) The Women Warriors In continuance with the story, The Soulless Citadel minted out its 2nd collection (In 7 days) and completing the biggest free claim in Zilliqa‘s history with ~800-1000 NFTs being claimed by OG holders. 4) The Expansion As now Zilliqa‘s undoubted NFT flagship it was time for the biggest move yet. The Soulless Citadel rebranded itself to Shibui Universe and set it’s eyes on going multichain with Ethereum being tackled first. The first episode ever launched - ”Origins“ - as well as the universe of Shibui which entailed the map, languages, animals, vegetation and of course - the curse. The Pirates of Fukushū minted 3 333 NFTs on Ethereum, fulfilling the multichain goals and again, giving back to the community with ~ 1200-1500 NFTs being claimed for free by OG holders. 5) Web2 adoption Celebrating 3 successes and selling 14 443 NFTs in an industry that had begun declining even before the first mint was amazing ofc, but to truly make it as a Anime/Manga you need a product and Web2 adoption. The Eternal Blade is the key to Shibui’s future. The opportunity to bring people into crypto and NFTs without them even realizing. Because adoption doesn’t have to feel unnatural. I couldn’t be more excited for the next months and 2025. The vision is coming together - the idea of rewarding fans, integrating them in the story telling like never before and elevating fandom to a before unseen level - is now possible. James Fazio, Shibui’s founder has a dream. I have never in my life seen anybody work so hard for their dream and in doing so, his dream became my dream. Thank you James and thank you OG fans and new fans. I‘d like to end this long ass tweet with a quote that has always inspired me. ”You have to try the impossible to achieve the possible“ - by Hermann Hesse
