<Comments from the original author, Mr. Ryoaki Haneda

Since this is the second comment on the anime, I would like to share a story behind the anime.
The reason I had Giron's design changed is because the original author himself wanted to change it.
Because this one is prettier.
There are some differences from the original work, but the anime is the anime, the manga is the manga, and the novel is the novel, so you can enjoy the anime three times.
I am looking forward to the broadcast.

＜KOHTA YAMAMOTO's comment

I am pleased to be in charge of the opening theme for the TV anime "The Strongest Magician of the Demon Army Was a Human.
I am very honored to be in charge of the music as well as the accompaniment music!
I am excited to see the powerful images in the PV and to hear "Ctr C" played in the main story!
This song is also my first vocal project.
I created "Ctr C" with the image of the main character Ike's strength and calmness, while aiming for my own musical expression.
The lyrics and vocals were written by Shun Ikegai, and the song is a rock number that perfectly combines Ike's unique and sexy vocals with lyrics that incorporate the worldview of this work.
We are happy to be working with Ikegai on the first song of the vocal project.
We hope that many people will listen to "Ctr C" along with the anime!

Shun Ikegai Profile

Shun Ikegai is the frontman, songwriter, and composer for the Tokyo-based band yahyel. He writes lyrics for all of the band's songs, and is also involved in a wide range of other activities, including solo production and songwriting for other artists. His songs are characterized by a mechanical, somewhat dark and cold quality that sounds like something from the hustle and bustle of a city, mixed with ironic and sincere poetry with a background in blues and folk music.

＜Shun Ikegai comments

Thank you for this opportunity. I was given this opportunity at a time when I was personally feeling disconnected and anxious about having contact with society through music. As you say in your lyrics, even though we perceive what is happening in the society that we see through the window, we are often reluctant to do so. Yet, since there is no way to defy the flow of time, be it reincarnation or fate, we are still unsure of what to do. I suspect that the universality of this work is how we touch the situations that befall us without choice. Thank you, KOHTA-san. What can I say beyond my own repetition?

Additional Cast

Kentaro Tone will play Giron, Ike's subordinate. His comment has also arrived.

Giron CV: Kentaro Tone

A general staff member of the Immortal Brigade. He respects Ike and believes that Ike is a "genius" for devising a series of measures that were unthinkable for the Demon Tribe until now, such as making humans and Demons work together.

＜Comment from Kentaro Tone

The role I played in "The Strongest Sorcerer in the Demon Army was a Human" was that of a pig. He is a loyal servant of the Demon King's army! But in the recording, I was far from faithful (?). I enjoyed playing the role freely. I can't fly, but I'm not just a pig either! Bwihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihi~! (See!)

[Work information

The strongest magician in the Demon King's Army was a human.

＜Broadcasting date
July 2024

<Introduction

Ike is called "the strongest magician in the Demon King's Army" and is a demon who single-handedly conquers even fortresses.
The way he dispatches his enemies with his immense magic is truly "monstrous," and he is feared by both friend and foe alike.
However, he had a secret that other demons could not tell.

I am actually a human being.

This is a dark fantasy about an upstart who aims for a symbiosis between demons and humans while hiding the fact that he is a human!
