■Comment from Kazuya Nakai, the role of Corsa

I’m happy that there are people who have been waiting for the Corsa to appear after a long time, and above all, I’ve been waiting for a long time. I guess it won’t come out anymore? That’s what I was thinking (lol). Last time I saw the Corsa, I think he was the kind of person that made you worry, but this time I tried to show him a solid figure, but there was also a side to him that said, “I guess he’s a bit strange after all,” so I’ll try to explain that. I hope you enjoy it.

■Comment from Eri Kitamura, the role of Nemo

It has been a long time since Nemo made a full-fledged appearance, but he shines again this time with his energy of peace of mind, trust, and stability. He was a character that left a strong impression when he first appeared, and this time too he is doing well to leave a strong impact. Although he is an unwavering character, I played him in such a way that you can feel the chronology and growth within Nemo.

There are many scenes where you can feel that Riko is a key person who is very important to Roy’s growth, so I hope you look forward to this episode as well!
