The duo, who also fight together as Onmyoji in the film, appealed their close friendship. In the "scene/character I envied" section, many of the cast members mentioned the scene where Rokuro and Benio perform resonance for the first time, commenting that it was "cool" and "I wish I could defeat my enemies with one shot. On the other hand, when Hanae-san mentioned "Ohagiman," a character that appears in the main story, Namikawa-san, who voices Ohagiman, performed a live voice-over of Ohagiman, which brought the audience to their feet. After that, a PV of the new chapter "Archipelago War Arc," which started airing on August 31 (Wed.), was shown and Mr. Ban was asked about the highlights of the story.
