Dancer (Prima) CV.Lynn
The “Top Three” of the assassin group “Glass Children”. He acts as Gamte's right-hand man and guardian, taking care of his daily life. She once aspired to be a ballerina. His yakuza skill, “Mugensan Kenshi,'' causes his opponent to see a ballet scene and unleashes a blow using his transcendent physical ability.
Golden Ball (Ballon d'Or) CV. Taku Yashiro
He is one of the “Top Three” of the assassin group “Glass Children” and is Gamte's left-hand man. He was once a bright and caring boy who aspired to become a professional soccer player. His yakuza skill is “Viva La Fantasista,'' a shot that can pierce concrete with a phantasmagoric trajectory.
Poison (ugly) CV. Shizuka Ishigami
He is a member of the assassin group “Glass Children” and wears a gas mask. He was forced to pair up with Angel (Ange), but they were a perfect match. The yakuza skill is a “wandering evil bullet'' that melts the angel's bullet with “super acid'' and changes the air resistance to bend the trajectory.
Angel (Ange) CV. Yurika Kubo

Attacker (Attacker) CV. Yasuto Saka
A member of the assassin group “Glass Children”. He was a gaming buddy with Order, and they were aiming to become professional gamers together. Since he has lost his eyesight, he relies on the skills of his command to compensate. His yakuza skill is the “gokenkyohoshugi” principle of firing armor-piercing bullets with his bare hands.
Yuri CV.Haruka Shiraishi

Cast decision comment
Comment from Lynn (role of Prima)
It was such a crazy piece of work that I wondered if it could actually be made into an anime, and I couldn't process it in my brain, so I gave up trying to make sense of it halfway through.
Still, I read the side stories to understand Prima, and I did my best to absorb the parts of her life that made me want to turn away.
Comment from Taku Yashiro (Golden Ball (Band Roll))
When I first read the original work, I was overwhelmed by the energy it contained.
Also, the battle scenes where these incredible energies collide with each other are somehow refreshing, yet passionate, and I feel that it has an atmosphere that can only be found in this work.
As the Golden Ball (Ballon d'Or), I want to kick the ball as hard as I can for Gamte.
Comment from Shizuka Ishigami (role of ugly)
It is written as “poison'' and is read as “ugly''.
I remember when I received the script from the agency, they apologetically told me the name of the role and handed it to me. (lol)
Poison-chan is paired with Tenshi-chan, and although they often fight, they are probably good friends as glass children.
Look forward to seeing how this duo fights!
Comment from Yurika Kubo (role of Angel)
When I first read the original work, “Ninjas and Yakuza'', I was amazed every time I turned the page, and I was very excited and thought, “There are more stories in this world that I could never have imagined.''
The role of an angel was a bit complicated once you got to know it better, but I felt like I wanted to play it straight, just as I saw it…and I was able to do it the way I wanted to!
Comment from Kengo Kasai (Commander role)
First, when I read the script, I got the impression that the two characters, the commander and the attacker, were a buddy character, and that they trusted each other.
I had only read a little bit of the original work before it was decided that it would be made into an anime, so what? Maybe you've seen it? I re-read it and was hooked.
I'm looking forward to the battle as my role will be facing the ninjas!
Comment from Yasuto Saka (attacker role)
I felt that it was a work with tremendous energy and momentum. I felt that it was an amazing work that overwhelmed me with the enthusiasm of the characters even though it was expressed in such a harsh and unrealistic way. I thought the actor he played was a cool guy who was energetic and cared for his friends.
Comment from Haruka Shiraishi (role of Yuri)
It's a very exciting and captivating work that gets your blood pumping.
There are so many strong characters, so I can't wait to see them in the anime!
The Yuri I play is one with Lily, and the two of them are special beings who support each other.
I want to bloom profusely with Lily. thank you!
Comment from Ikumi Hasegawa (as Lily)
My name is Ikumi Hasegawa and I will be the voice of Lily.
The one and only unique world view was very interesting, and it was a privilege to be able to feel the passion of this work directly…!
At the scene, I sat next to Yuri and did the dubbing!
I'm also looking forward to the broadcast. thank you!
