The 17th episode of the new TV anime series "Mashin Hero Wataru," based on the popular anime series "Mashin Genesis Wataru," entitled "[Hell] Thrilling!? A Punishment Tournament Full of Traps!" will be broadcast on TV Tokyo on May 4th.
When Wataru and his friends arrive in a bustling town, Shou and Myger are waiting for them. However, it is obvious to them that they do not want to fight Kakeru. For some reason, Wataru and his friends are given a punishment game by the townspeople, but this is the "Punishment Game Village" where all kinds of punishment games are available.
"Mashin Genesis Wataru" is said to be a "Wataru" series aimed at a "new generation," and the protagonist, a fourth-grade elementary school student named Hoshibe Wataru, appears as a YouTuber aiming to become a superstar. Together with his partner Ryujinmaru, Wataru will embark on a "buzzworthy" adventure battle in Chubukai, a different world of floating blocks.
Mutsumi Tamura will play Wataru, Tomokazu Sugita will play Ryujinmaru, Atsumi Tanezaki Amabe, Katsuyuki Konishi, Megu Umezawa will play Maro, and Rie Kugimiya will play Ryuryun. The series is directed by Yumi Kamakura and produced by Bandai Namco Pictures. It airs every Sunday at 5:30pm on TV Tokyo.
