It has been announced that a brand new TV anime series, " Digimon BEATBREAK," based on the popular " Digimon " series of anime and games, will begin airing on Fuji TV and other channels every Sunday at 9:00 AM starting October 5th. This will be the first new anime in about two years since " Digimon Ghost Game," which aired from October 2021 to March 2023. The main visual, featuring the main characters Tenma Tomorrow and Gekkomon, as well as other characters, has also been released. The visual evokes the image of "a dawn that gives hope for the beginning of a new era of Digimon," and is accompanied by the tagline, "Bug the future."
The new work is a story of a new future between humans and Digimon. Set in a world where e-pulses, generated by human thoughts and emotions, are used as a power source for AI support devices called Sapotama, Digimon appear as lifeforms that evolve by consuming e-pulses. Tomorrow Tenma is drawn into an extraordinary world after meeting Gekkomon, who suddenly appears from the Sapotama. For a certain purpose, Tomorrow joins the bounty hunter team Golden Dawn, and while living together with members such as Sawashiro Kyo, he renews his resolve... This is the story.
The cast for the Golden Dawn members and Digimon has also been announced. Tomoyo Kurosawa will play Sakuya Rena, Mutsumi Tamura will play Rena's partner Digimon Pristimon, Arisa Sekine will play Kuonji Makoto, Misaki Kuno will play Makoto's partner Digimon Kiropmon, Yohei Azakami will play Sawashiro Kyo, and Daiki Hamano will play Kyo's partner Digimon Murasamemon. Miyu Irino will play the main character, Tomorrow Tenma, and Megumi Han Han will play his partner Digimon Gekkomon.
The main PV, featuring Tomorrow, Gekkomon, and members of Golden Dawn, has been released on YouTube.
Digimon was first released as a mobile game in June 1997, and the first TV anime series, Digimon Adventure, aired from 1999 to 2000.

◇Comment from Tomoyo Kurosawa
I am very honored to be able to voice Rena in Digimon New Horizons. She is a girl with a strong bite, but that also means there are many parts that I can have fun with during the daily recordings, so I am looking forward to what the future holds. Please support me!
◇Comment from Mutsumi Tamura
I've been fortunate enough to have been involved in a variety of Digimon productions. This time, I'll be playing a Digimon! Many of the Digimon are very innocent children, and watching them makes me feel fond of them and makes my heart ache. This time, I'd like to do my best to become a presence that can move the hearts of humans in the same way! I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of Digimon I'll meet this time and what kind of bonds we'll see!
◇Comment from Arisa Sekine
"Digimon Adventure" is my favorite and the show I've watched the most in my life. Now that I've been chosen to play the role of Kuonji Makoto in the "Digimon" series, I've always admired the chosen children, but had given up on them as an adult, and the excitement, thrills, and sparkle I felt back then have come back to me...!! I'll put my heart and soul into this together with Makoto so that "DIGIMON BEATBREAK" will be loved by many people!!
◇Comment from Misaki Kuno
I'm Misaki Kuno, and I'll be playing Chiropmon. A friend who loves Digimon said to me, "Mii-chan, please play a Digimon someday," and ever since I answered "Yes!", it's been my dream to play a Digimon someday. Because of that, I'm personally very happy to have been given this opportunity! The dubbing sessions are also a lot of fun♪ I'll do my best to play Chiropmon, so I hope you'll enjoy it!
◇Comment from Yohei Azakami
It's been about 25 years since I was engrossed in watching "Digimon Adventure" back then. I never thought I'd be appearing in a TV series that's still ongoing... I want to brag to my young self! I'll be remembering the excitement I felt back then. I'll be feeling the bonds I formed with my friends and partners once again. I'll do my best to play the role of Kyo! I hope you'll all enjoy it!
◇Comment from Daiki Hamano
I will be the voice of Murasamemon. My name is Daiki Hamano. It was June 1997, and as a fourth-grader, I grabbed my pocket money and met up with my friends to go to the local toy store, "Red Shoes." We competed by pressing the little buttons on the digital monsters we'd bought. Nearly 30 years have passed since then... I'm thrilled to have been given this dreamlike opportunity to voice a Digimon. I will use this feeling as fuel to continue evolving and devote all my energy to creating Digimon that many people can become obsessed with.
