Yuma Uchida said, “The Getter Robo series is a historical work that has been around for over 45 years. The fact that it’s still being animated after such a long time is proof that the series has been loved for a long time, and I’m very moved. When I was given the role, I felt the size and weight of it, but as always, I will do my best to create the work to the best of my ability.

The new key visual is an illustration of Takuma, Kamui, Baku, Hayato, and the main robot, Getter Ark, all together. The second PV with the new cut includes the battle scene of Getter Robot D2, where Takuma first boards, and the scene where the three Getter Machines combine to form the Getter Arc.

|Comments from the cast of the first announcement

■Yuma Uchida (as Takuma Nagare)
My name is Yuma Uchida, and I’ll be voicing Takuma Nagare.
The “Getter Robo” series has been around for over 45 years. The fact that it is still being animated after such a long time is proof that the series has been loved for a long time, and I am very moved by that.
When I was given the role, I felt the size and weight of it, but as always, I will do my best to create the work to the best of my ability. I will do my best so that many people can enjoy it!　Please look forward to “Getter Robo Arc”!

■Arimaro Mukaino (as Kamui Shaw)
I was very happy when I was asked to play this role. I immediately read the original comic and became absorbed in its worldview.
Kamui is a young man with a complicated fate that I could never experience myself. I was surprised that he was the same age as me. I was surprised that he was the same age as me. I was determined to accept and embody his overly harsh upbringing.
While feeling the weight of the history of the Getter Robot series, I think I must meet the expectations that are appropriate for it and deliver it to the fans.

■Kazuhiro Sunzeki (as Baku Yamagishi)
When I heard that I had been chosen for the role, I was so happy that I screamed, and before I knew it, I was pumping my fist to the sky. I was so excited to be a part of the content that I have loved since I was a child.　At the same time, I felt the pressure of whether or not I would be able to inherit the Getter spirit that my predecessors had passed down to me and deliver a hot time to everyone!　I also felt a lot of pressure. I also felt a strong desire to live up to the expectations of the fans, as this is a work with a long history. I’m really happy and proud to be involved in this work.

■Naoya Uchida (as Hayato Kami)
I was one of the Getter Robo fans, just like you, so I was excited when I heard about it. I was thrilled when I heard about it. “I can experience the world of Getter Robo again!　And I can play Hayato Kami again! That’s how I felt. I can’t contain my excitement to be a part of the final work of the now deceased Mr. Ishikawa’s “Getter Robo Saga”. I’m also looking forward to working with director Kawagoe and the cast and staff again. I’m excited!

[speech_bubble type=”drop” subtype=”L1″ icon=”surprise.png” name=”Nazuna”] The Getter Robo arc is a continuation of the manga version of Getter Robo No. 1, but this area hasn’t been animated yet, so I wonder how they’re going to explain about Ryoma. Anyway, I’m looking forward to it! [/speech_bubble]
