Comments
Daimu Mineta

I was honestly happy to play the leading role for the first time!
When I heard that I had been cast, I was so surprised that I could not believe it at all, but I immediately switched my thoughts to the role and said that I had to start boxing for the recording.
The blood boiling fight scenes are the highlight of this film.
I will fight alongside Cestus with all my might, while being grateful for everything!
