AŌP is returning with a new "Reiwa version" of the television anime's first opening theme song, "Hanamaru Pippi wa Yoiko Dake." The new version rearranges the song for an "adventurous" theme to fit the film. Character designer Eiji Abiko drew the main visual above.

The Mr. Osomatsu television anime is inspired by Fujio Akatsuka's original Osomatsu-kun manga and "high tension comedy" TV anime, which centers on the Matsuno household with six naughty and mischievous sons (who are sextuplets). All of the sextuplets, including the eldest Osomatsu, are all in love with the same girl, Totoko. The original Osomatsu-kun series followed the family when the sons were 10 years old. Mr. Osomatsu re-imagines the original manga and TV anime with the sextuplets as adults.
The first Mr. Osomatsu anime season premiered in October 2015, and Eiga no Osomatsu-san film opened in Japan in March 2019.
The third premiered on January 4, 2021.
The series has also inspired various videos. The franchise inspired a three-episode Valentine's-themed short series titled Chocomatsu-san Valentine's Day-hen and another three-episode short series titled Chocomatsu-san White Day-hen in February 2021 and March 2021, respectively.
A live-action opened on March 25.
