An advance screening and cast talk show will be held at Shinjuku Piccadilly (Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo) on September 7th.
Hishigawa, who plays Nazuna, a level 9999 True Ancestor Vampire Knight, commented, "Motivated by hatred, I recorded the scene by Light's side, as he is rapidly being reborn, with a sincere sense of loyalty, saying, 'I will protect my master...!' Among his attendants, Nazuna comes across as a relatively foolish girl, so I hope I can be a source of comfort to the viewers. Please look forward to the masters' tale of revenge, which begins in the fall."
Izawa, who plays Aoyuki, the level 9999 genius monster tamer, said, "I believe that 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth' and 'what goes around comes around' are very important mindsets in life, so I personally love this production. What's more, I'm very happy to be able to play Aoyuki, one of the Four Nine super strong friends who support the main character, Light. That's great! I want overwhelming, cheat-level power too! (laughs) Let's all enjoy 'Serves You Right' to the fullest with our charming friends!"
Mano, who plays Ellie, the level 9999 forbidden witch, said, "It's really satisfying to watch how strong Light is! All of his companions are unique, cute, and strong!! And his enemies are the worst (lol), so you can't help but root for Light and want him to get revenge quickly! It's a wonderful work filled with lots of funny, cool, and cute things, so please look forward to the broadcast♪."
Natsuyoshi, who plays Nemum, a level 5000 Assassin Blade, commented, "I like Nemum, who is strong and beautiful, but becomes a complete wreck when it comes to Light-sama. I hope you'll also pay attention to the comedy-like exchanges between her and Gold-san! Thank you!"
Miyamoto, who plays Gold, the level 5000 golden knight, said, "If you're a game fan, you've probably dreamed of spinning the gacha infinitely at least once. Infinite gacha is something that only a dream can dream of...but it's actually possible for the protagonist of this work. I had the opportunity to play Gold, one of the UR companions created from that gacha. He has strong personalities, is unique, and is free. It was a really fun role to play. In addition to Gold, there are so many other fascinating characters, so I hope that fans of the original and those seeing it for the first time will look forward to it."
The story follows the protagonist, Light, who is betrayed by his friends and uses his gift, the power of Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon, to unleash a world-shaking revenge. Light, a boy of the human race, the weakest and most ridiculed of the nine races once created by the Goddess, is welcomed into a party made up of the nine races and lives happily, until he is betrayed by his friends in the world's largest and deadliest dungeon, the Abyss. Having survived at the bottom of the Abyss, Light learns the true power of Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon and sets out to build the strongest kingdom.
The anime will be directed by Katsushi Sakurabi and produced by JCSTAFF. Nina Tamaki will play the protagonist Light, and Ikumi Hasegawa will play Mei, a level 9999 seeker maid who is loyal to Light.
