<Questions
(1) For those who are going to see the show, what are the highlights that they should not miss? (Question) 1) For those of you who are going to see the show, what are the highlights of the show that we should not miss?
(2) How did you feel when you were chosen for your role?
(3) What do you think are the highlights of the character you are playing?
4）What is your message to the audience?

　Rikiya Koyama as Klaus V. Reinherz
(1) The names of the techniques are cool! And it is difficult! It's hard to say "Kreuzschild Unzere Brechtliche" (Blood Cross Shield). The name of the enemy is also difficult! Valquer rozzo valktovoer girika (2).
(2) That's why I thought, "Renschuh, I need to practice, I have to work hard at this. Well, you know, it's not that I'm cutting corners in my other work, too. But, when it comes to words that I am not used to saying, or rather words that are new to me, proper nouns, you have to renshu them to me, right? So, I'm really trying my best, really.
3) Klaus is a gentleman. He is kind. And although his fangs are conspicuous, he is a manly man! Klaus is calm. He is clever. And although he is burly, he is quite elegant! Klaus has hard glasses. He has a stiff tie. And a stiff vest, but when he takes it off! He will charm you!
4) And when the time comes, Klaus does it! He knows all the difficult names and names of the techniques! He is intelligent, sexy, and, what's more, he is a master of the world of heaven, the world of earth, the whole world, the world of blood, the world of heaven, and the world of nothingness! He is so strong! Such an amazing character! I'm a timid person, so he's perfect for me, don't you think?
Don't you think I want to support him so much? Don't you think so? Don't you think so? Thank you very much for your support!

　Daisuke Sakaguchi as Leonardo Watch
(1) Everything is already a highlight! The story, the worldview, and the characters are all fascinating. The story, worldview, and characters are all fascinating. I hope that everyone will fall completely into the world of "Bloodline".
(2) The character seems to have a lot of lines (laughs), which makes it all the more challenging, and I was really looking forward to it.
(3) I guess it's the "normality" of the character. The story is told from the same perspective as the audience. I think that makes it easier to empathize with the characters. However, when he does it, he does it well (laughs).
(4) It is a profound story, but it is not only heavy but also has many light and funny scenes, so I think it is a work with a wide range of audiences.
I hope that fans of the original story, as well as those who have never heard of it, will watch this film!

Kazuya Nakai as Zap Renfro
1) The entire film is a highlight. I don't want you to miss the intense battles, the violent dance of names of techniques, and the fierce banter between the two characters. Please also pay attention to the original episodes, which are the vertical axis of the TV series, different from the original stories that are completed in several episodes.
2) I'm really sorry that I didn't audition for the role, but after I was selected, I bought and read the original story and thought, "Whoever it was, thank you for casting me! I thought it was a very rewarding role. I thought it was a very challenging role.
(3) He is a genius, but he is lazy. He is passionate about his work but is absorbed in women. He is proud but sometimes very mean. He looks cool if he keeps his mouth shut, but he talks too much. Watch the coexistence of human strength and weakness.
(4) First of all, I want you to see it. That's all there is to it.

　Yuu Kobayashi as Emperor Chain
(1) The one and only world where people from the other world and the human world live together and the characters are all so wonderful. The people of the other world are also rich in individuality. Each and every one of the deformed people who are not shown on the screen are also very attractive, so I would be happy if you would pay attention to them.
(2) Chain - I was very happy to be asked to play the role of the Emperor. When I thought about playing the role, my heart was filled with excitement and thrill. At the same time, I am also very proud of myself. I am truly happy.
(3) You are very dignified and cool when you are hard at work, but you also have a charming face that you sometimes show when you are upset. I am sorry to say this to Mr. Zap, but I really like the exchange between the two of you. I hope you will pay attention to Mr. Chane when he is in front of Mr. Zapf.
4) As a fan of the work, I am looking forward to seeing the world of "Bloodline" come to life in the form of an anime. I will do my best as a member of "Libra" among the wonderful staff and cast members. Thank you very much for your support.

　Steven A. Starface / Mitsuru Miyamoto
1) All of them. I would like to say "everything," but if I had to choose... the characters, the breathless battle scenes, the exquisite dialogue... well, I guess it would have to be everything.
(2) Actually, I had never read the original story, but a female staff member at my office was a big fan. When I read it, I was immediately captivated by the surreal world of the story, and I was delighted to be a latecomer to the show.
(3) On the first day of recording, director Rie Matsumoto said to me. Star Phase is a reluctant second-rate actor. He is a man who is aware of the fact that he is a man". Compared to Klaus and Zap, Star Phase lacks strength and power, but I hope that you will enjoy his mature charm that they do not have.
(4) Superb voice actors! Big-name guests appear in every episode. It costs a lot of money. You can look forward to it!

　Ai Orikasa as K.K.
(1) The battle scenes are well worth watching, but please also pay attention to the well-crafted dialogue.
(2) It's been a long time since I played the role of a strong and tough woman, so I was very excited.
(3) The humming and shooting symbolizes K.K.'s fighting spirit, as well as the banter between her and her friends.
(4) The staff and cast are very committed to this work. Please enjoy it!

　Yuma Uchida as Sonic
(1) It's the worldview, isn't it?
There are all kinds of deformities in HERUSALEM'S LOT! They come in different forms and speak in different ways, so it is interesting to pay attention to the deformities that appear here and there! It's always chaotic when we record scenes with deformities in the gaya!
(2) When I was told that I had been chosen for the role, I was told that I was a monkey. When I read the material, I was shocked to see that he was a monkey just as he was. It was the first time for me to play a character who doesn't speak, so I always consider it a challenge to play a character who doesn't speak!
(3) He is cute! He is so cute when he is on Leo's shoulder, isn't he?
On the other hand, she can understand what Leo is saying and read the atmosphere, so I think she is very strong on the inside (laugh)! Since he doesn't speak, I try to convey what Sonic feels through sound!
4) The anime "Bloodline" is a powerful work that lives up to its manga name of shouting the name of the technique and then punching the target! Please look forward to the hot battles of the secret society Libras! Sonic will do his best!
