Tomo Muranaka, who plays the role of Yuma Kukan
I read an interview with the producer, Mr. Daichi Nagatomi, and he said, "We can't win unless we aim to be the best among all Toei animation works until now! He said, "It's super hot!　He is determined to win!　I'm determined to win! I was so enthusiastic. I could feel the enthusiasm of the cast and crew at every postrecording session, and I was filled with emotion when I thought, "We are finally going to deliver tonight the work that everyone has been waiting for! I am filled with emotion when I think, "This is the work that everyone has been waiting for, and now we can finally deliver it tonight!
Actually, when I heard the voices of the characters during the postrecording, I felt at ease, as if I was at home. The second season itself will start with a "tense" feeling instead of such "lukewarmness" (laugh), but I hope that those of you who are watching "World Trigger" for the first time in a while will feel the same nostalgic feeling as we did, as well as the elation of "Wow! I hope that those of you who are watching "World Trigger" for the first time in a long time will feel the same nostalgia and elation as we did. Also, for those of you who are watching the show for the first time, I hope that you will take this opportunity to learn more about the original work and the first season, and support the second season. I would be very happy if "World Trigger" becomes a work that makes you say, "I'm going to work hard for a week just to enjoy this! I would be very happy if "World Trigger" becomes a work that makes you say, "I'm going to work hard for a week just to enjoy this!

The quality of the second season surpasses the previous one!　I saw the first part A of the first episode at "Jump Festa 2020" the other day and was impressed by the visuals and direction that looked as if they had jumped out of the original work. Also, even though the event was held online, I felt the love of "Wartory" fans for the work very strongly.
I am so happy and grateful that I will be able to watch the new "Wartory" anime on TV again... I have been enjoying the show since the first season... and the second season is even more polished! The second season is even more polished! We are sure you will be satisfied with the show, so please be sure to watch it every week. We are sure you will be satisfied with the show, so please be sure to watch it every week!

The ending theme song "Mirai Eien" is sung by the up-and-coming rock band "Kami wa Dice Nai Nai", which is one of the hottest bands in the world today. Please look forward to both the opening and ending songs!
