New Cast Additions
The two new cast members bring notable credits. Tomokazu Sugita (Gintoki Sakata in Gintama, Joseph Joestar in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) takes on the role of Laswell (ラスウェル), while Megumi Han (Gon Freecss in Hunter x Hunter, Kana Arima in Oshi no Ko) voices Zaftie (ザフティエ), one of the Four Great Beast Kings.
Both actors shared comments about their roles, according to Japanese entertainment news site Comic Natalie. They join a returning ensemble led by Haruka Shiraishi as the hero Alicia, Mutsumi Tamura as Clen (Clevatess's human form), and Yūichi Nakamura as the titular Beast King himself.
