In addition, the series confirmed the addition of two new cast members for the Workshop Battle Arc: Hidenori Takahashi and Chiaki Kobayashi.

Takahashi has been cast as Reflejo, while Kobayashi will voice Po Bidau Gustang, a member of one of the Ten Great Families. Both characters made their first appearance in the anime’s 13th episode, which was released on September 29. The Workshop Battle Arc is set to officially kick off in the 14th episode, scheduled for release on Sunday, October 6.
The newly unveiled key visual showcases Bam (in his Jue Viole Grace design) at the forefront, accompanied by Wangnan Ja, Rak Wraithraiser, and Khun Aguero Agnes. To Bam’s left stands Endorsi Jahad, and to his right is Hwaryun. Above him, cloaked, is Rachel, while her new FUG teammates are notably absent from the visual.
The promotional video not only previews the opening theme song “NIGHT,” performed by Stray Kids, but also showcases its animated sequence. The visuals begin by focusing on Bam, illustrating his origins and current conflicts as Jue Viole Grace. The second half shifts to highlight Wangnan Ja, offering glimpses of the forthcoming Workshop Battle and other key characters.
