Cast Comments

Aya Kawakami (as Landgrease)

Q1: What was your impression of this work?
I thought it was a really gorgeous work...!
There are other works with mythological or historical figures, but this work is very easy to read because each character's backbone is clearly explained.
I was engrossed in reading the book because I got to know the characters I only vaguely knew by name for the first time!
The battles are exciting and exciting!

Q2: What is your impression of the character and your enthusiasm for the role?
I felt that the character's language and behavior were graceful, but at the same time I felt that she had a strong core.
I think she has a lot of determination to train her sacred artifact in her first battle.
I played the role with an awareness of showing her willpower in her gentleness.

Rina Kawaguchi (Regin Rave)

Q1: What is your impression of the film?
It is just magnificent! The scale is tremendous! That was my first impression. At first, I wondered if humans had a chance to win in the battle of God vs. humans. At first, I wondered if humans could win! We didn't lose! Anyway, I felt that it was a passionate work that kept me hooked from beginning to end, with my hands sweating.

Q2: What is your impression of the character and your enthusiasm for the role?
Reginrave was the first time for me to record a role with a name, so I was really excited and nervous until the day of recording.
Reginlaive looks very intelligent and solid, and from her first scene, she is very cool! I went into the recording session with a broadened image of her, imagining what she would be like in her everyday life, which is not mentioned in the film!

Yuu Kobayashi (Frist)

Q1: What is your impression of this work?
I couldn't take my eyes off the clash of souls and tension as they put their lives on the line.
I am fascinated by the lonely struggle not only with the opponent but also with myself.
The power and realism of the battles are amazing, and before I knew it, I was drawn in.
The worldview and the characters are fascinating, and I am always overwhelmed by the power that grabs my heart.
I am grateful to be able to participate as a frist.

Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and how do you feel about the role?
Ms. Frist has two meanings and powers, "the one who trembles" and "the one who roars." She is a beautiful person who impresses me with her two sides: the melancholy and gentle side of the one who trembles, and the rough and rugged side of the one who roars.
The gap between the two sides of her personality, which switches instantly, is wonderful, and her one-of-a-kind range is very attractive.
I am happy to be able to play the role of such a wonderful Frist.
I will do my best to play the role, and I look forward to working with you.

Yasutsugu Ishii (narration)

Q1: What is your impression of this film?
To be honest, at first I thought, "It's a crazy setup. But you want to see, don't you, this reckless match-up?
It is impossible. But I want to see it. Then, as I read the original, I was also overwhelmed by the power of the pictures.
I am looking forward to seeing what the next match-up card will be, and I have high expectations for the future development.

Q2: What is your enthusiasm for the role?
I will try to make the best use of the power of the original work, and at the same time, I will try not to overdo it.

I will try my best not to destroy the flavor of the original story.

■Year old man Shima's comment
My name is Shimaiya, and I am releasing my fifth album.
This is the 10th anniversary of my activities and the 5th anniversary of my major label activities.
I didn't think I would be able to continue this long, so I decided to use the title "Onnoji" (meaning "I'm very happy and grateful"). It contains 7 newly written songs by Vocaloid Ps, plus 2 songs written by Shimaji himself, for a total of 9 songs.
We asked them to write songs for our 10th anniversary, and they all delivered wonderful songs. We hope you will not miss them.
We have also decided to release one of the songs, "Inevitable," the ending theme song for the anime "Valkyrie the Valkyrie of the End," as an advance distribution release. We hope you will enjoy it as well. Thank you very much.

The song is the theme song of the anime "Valkyrie at the End of Time".

<Story

The 7 million years of human history is about to come to an end.

Once every 1,000 years, all the gods of the world gather together in the heavenly realm for the "Conference on the Existence of Mankind.

Just before the unanimous verdict of "the apocalypse" is handed down due to the foolish deeds that mankind has committed,
Brünnhilde, one of the half-blood, half-human war maidens, Brünnhilde, objects.

It would be unwise to simply destroy them. Why not put humanity to the test?"

What she proposes is the final struggle between the gods and mankind, known as "Ragnarok.
The gods of the world and the chosen representatives of all mankind throughout history
compete in a one-on-one, one-on-one, one-on-one match.
A total of 13 matches will be played, with the first seven victors being declared the winners.

However, it is absolutely impossible for mankind to beat the gods.
While the gods scoff at her, Brünnhilde continues to challenge them.

Are you afraid of me?

Her words were met with divine contempt,
In anger, the gods agreed to Ragnarok.
Thus, Brünnhilde and the others,
Brünnhilde and her team selected the 13 most powerful people from 7 million years of human history to challenge Ragnarok.

Can humanity surpass the gods and prevent the apocalypse?

The battle begins with a super-rapid, raging, and serious battle!
