In the visuals released today, Gawain stands proudly holding a club, displaying the strength he has developed in his life deep in the mountains and the strength of his torso. He has the "gift" of hitting the center of the ball with every shot he makes.
In addition, he is surrounded by the students of Camelot Academy Japan, his strongest rivals. Gawain's strongest rival, Lancelot, a "putting genius" who can see the path to the cup even from a distance, Rebel, an all-rounder with no weaknesses in any area, and Reiser, a talented player who will be the first to face Gawain when he is transferred to the academy. The visuals also show Lancelot, the "genius of the pattern," Reiser, an all-rounder with no weaknesses, Rebel, a skilled player who will first face Gawain when he joins the Academy, Yumiko Koizumi, who aims for the cup with her strong back spin and delicate control, and Toudouin Kai, a hot-blooded A-class player with a temper but a strong sense of humanity, all looking lively and attractive.
Also in the foreground of the visuals are the cool figures of Tristan from the British school and Questar from the American school.

Both players stand in front of Gawain. Both players will stand in Gawain's way and will be in friendly competition with each other.
