Additional cast members have been announced for the third season of the anime series Record of Ragnarok, Record of Ragnarok III, based on the battle manga currently being serialized in Monthly Comic Zenon (Core Mix). The cast includes Shiori Mikami as Alvito, the 13th of the Valkyries who sacrifice themselves to become weapons; Misako Tomioka as Gendul, the 9th; and Mai Todo as Geirel. The second promotional video, featuring the ending theme "Last breath, Last record" sung by Saori Hayami, has also been released.
Mikami commented, "I was thrilled by the fierce battle for the survival of humanity as I read the original work, sometimes crying. In particular, when I read about the battle between Qin Shi Huang and Hades, I was struck like a bolt of lightning. The story of this anime begins with the seventh match! To think that the day would finally come when we would be able to see this battle on screen...!! I have been waiting for this for so long, with all my heart! I am very happy to have been able to take part in this production as Alvito, feeling the passion on set firsthand. Please look forward to the broadcast!!"
Tomioka said, "I read the original work before recording and fell in love with Nikola Tesla. It made me want to root for him! I played the role with love, hoping to be able to be of strength to him. I'm also looking forward to seeing that magical and exciting battle in the anime! Please be sure to witness the power of science and the potential of humanity!"
Todo commented, "Gayeruru is by far the most manly of the sisters. She is a very passionate Walküre who is aggressive but also has a strong kindness shining through her. I will do my best to fully convey the charm of this energetic woman! The outstanding combination and strong bond between the Walküre and humanity is one of the highlights of each battle, but this duo is no slouch either! They are more hot-blooded than anyone else! Please enjoy the battle between these two fighting spirited people! Bring it on!!"
