New PV depicting the passion of fighting men is released!

The second main PV was recently released, and now a new PV filled with scenes of fierce battles between the warriors has been released.

The new PV depicts the fierce battles between generals with rich personalities, such as Nobu (cv: Seiichi Morita) with his strong faith, Kanuki (cv: Kentaro Ito) with his overwhelming charisma, and Mengmeng (cv: Daisuke Kusunoki) with his strongest military power.

What is the "resolve" of these men who risk their lives on the battlefield? We hope you will feel the message "Men have a reason to fight" in the film. The "Goyo-Gun Arc" is about to begin, and we will be watching the heroic figures of the Han men in fierce battles.
