It portrays Valentine's Day. Cupid is making people fall in love, while Satan is doing everything possible to undermine the relationships.[3]

Notes edit

  • The original BR ending is lost due to the LaserDisc release of the dubbed version.[4] It does not survive through CN Latin America, meaning that the original print may be lost forever if WB doesn't restore the original negative.
  • The original titles have been found in an eBay auction in 2007, but it is unknown if they will be acquired for future releases.[5]
