Comments from Nobunaga Shimazaki, Marina Inoue, and Asami Sanada

Nobunaga Shimazaki as Shidou Gokawa

The production of the 5th season has been decided! I'm so happy! I am very happy! Thank you all! Thank you very much!
IV ended in a great place, but of course V will be amazing.
There will be a parade of furious developments and foreshadowing!
We hope you will be able to see it through to the end. I hope you will enjoy it!

Marina Inoue as Juka Yatogami

Congratulations on the decision to produce the 5th season!
To be honest...when the 4th season was decided, I was hoping that you would finish the production until the end...? (laugh). Anyway, I am very happy.
With the addition of new characters in the fourth season, you have become a really large group.
I am deeply moved to see how much time has passed.
I will continue to do my best while staying close to the characters, so please give me your support!

Asami Sanada as Kyozo Tokizaki

Finally, we have come this far...! That's how I feel. Without your support, Kyozo might have been just a mysterious person (laughs). Thank you very much!
From the last scene of the fourth season, the story is finally getting to the heart of the matter (although it has always felt like a climax). Please look forward to it!
