Ono, who plays Hathaway Noah, commented, "Everything is crazy. A man who has doubts about this world suffers alone, wondering what justice is and what he should fight for. And then there's Gigi, whose existence grows uncontrollably. Is it the world that's gone crazy, or something else? Please look forward to the film's release."
Ueda, who plays Gigi Andalusia, said, "I wonder if she is aware that she is the one who will determine the outcome of the battle... There are lines that sound like she is playing around with the individual sounds of the name 'Hathaway Noah,' but I would be happy if I could also show everyone her serious thoughts and worries."
Suwabe, who plays Kenneth Slegg, commented, "It's been a very long wait. I've been waiting eagerly for this as well. The second chapter of ' Hathaway's Flash' is finally here! The trailer, with its increasing tension, is enough to give you goosebumps. The story of these characters, at the mercy of fate, takes another step forward. Please look forward to it!"
