Along with the trailer they released a brief description of the series.
This is going to be a very rough translation using Google’s translator. It begins, “Not only the powerful match scene with the new character Megaro Boxer Chief (CV: Mio Tanaka), but also Joe’s loneliness and conflict, and his new determination to get away from his friends and lose sight of the way to go …”
It adds, “The story that deeply depicts the character’s emotions is also a point of interest. In addition to the new characters, the characters that appeared in the previous work 7 years later will also be drawn. In addition, a play accompaniment that colors the main story by mabanua, who handles music, is also included. Stay tuned for Joe’s story to move again!”
Accompanying the trailer, they also released a brand new key visual drawn by the show’s director Hiroshi Moriyama.
Alongside this key visual they provided some more details about the upcoming show, “Joe’s former remnants have disappeared, and Joe has changed his name to “Nomad”. He is depicted wandering around to find his whereabouts. Also, beside Joe, you can see a hummingbird flapping its beautiful wings. It appears symbolically as “a proof of thinking about your hometown” in the work.”
Take a look at the key visual below.
