Art style: Anime.
Moonlit ruined palace arena at the instant of a deadly sword clash. Rin and Aoi face each other at close range, their blades poised to meet, while Emperor Kuro watches from the shadows. Cinematic tension, dramatic moonlight and fine sparks, premium hand-drawn anime composition.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
2D anime cartoon animation — cel-shaded illustration, bold clean black outlines, flat anime shading, hand-drawn anime look with anime facial features and stylised non-realistic rendering of objects, food and environments. NOT photorealistic, NOT live-action, NOT a 3D render, NOT real footage.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
