Official Report.

At the "Bloodline Back 2 Back" stage event at the "Jump Festa 2018" Jump Super Stage held at Makuhari Messe on Sunday, December 17, the original author, Mr. Yasuhiro Naito, and Rikiya Koyama, who plays the main character Klaus V. Reinherz, and Rikiya Sakaguchi, who plays Leonardo Watch, were on hand, Four members of the splendid cast, including Daisuke Sakaguchi as Leonardo Watch, Kazuya Nakai as Zap Renfro, and Mitsuru Miyamoto as Steven A. Starface, who play the main characters, took the stage for a talk show.
From the opening of the talk show, Koyama-san ran around the venue after getting off the stage, Miyamoto-san was puzzled by the height of the stage, and the cast members were upset when they were pointed out the progress of the corner. The first corner was "Blood!

The first corner, "Bloodline! Ad Street Front," in which Naito-sensei introduced the most noteworthy spots in "HERUSALEM'S LOT," the city where the show takes place, in a ranking format.
The third place was chosen as the "Secret Society Libra Office" to which Klaus and his friends belong. It is protected by tight security that leads from a different location each time. According to Dr. Naito, the briefing of the story is first held in this room, and he explained that it plays an important role in explaining the framework of the story. Touching on the concept of the work, in which the members of his library "shout out the names of their techniques and then hit each other," the teacher explained that adding the names of the techniques to the impactful scenes increases the density of the story. He said that he draws the characters' fights with the intention of making them easier to understand.
The second place went to "Diane's Diner," the favorite restaurant of Leo, Zap and his friends. It is a Dangerous Spot where not only humans but also deformed creatures visit and often get into trouble. When we asked Mr. Naito about the inspiration for the numerous antagonists that appear in the case, he said, "First, I think about what kind of trouble will befall the members of LYBRA, and then I consider the abilities of the enemies to match the case. He then explained how he came up with the idea for the antagonists.
The first prize went to Leo's ability, the "artificial eye of the gods," which will be featured in the climax episode of the TV anime. Mr. Naito said, "This is an important episode in the original comic, but it has been carefully calculated and newly depicted in the anime. I hope you will enjoy watching Leo's struggle." I hope you will see Leo's struggle in the anime," he said. Through Mr. Naito's comments, various episodes that provide background information on the world of the work were discussed.

In addition, "Only at Janfest! Mini Original Drawing Live," the cast members performed a live dialogue using original drawings from the original comic.
In the scene where Klaus and Steven challenge the dimensional thief Veneno, the audience applauded their powerful performance of shouting out the name of the thief's technique in a tense atmosphere.
The audience laughed out loud at the scene where Leo and Zap try to play a trick on Klaus' butler Gilbert, a rat, a scene that is rare in the TV anime.

At the end of the event, the audience congratulated Koyama-san, who celebrates his birthday on December 18, andeach of the guests on stage gave a message to his fans .Each of the guests on stage gave a message to the fans.
