The Super Stage event also announced the names and cast members of two new characters who are set to appear in the film. While the characters themselves have already been revealed through the movie's key visual, not much was said about them other than the fact that they were the former Magic Emperors.

Yoshitada Otsuka will play the role of the 20th Magic Emperor Edward Aberache. Edward was a priest in the church and was trusted and admired by people. However, he believed that he had to make a change for vulnerable people.
