On Tuesday, August 22, 2023, the official website for the Reign of the Seven Spellblades anime announced four new cast members, including the voice of One Punch Man’s Saitama. The news was announced via the anime’s website, with the series serving as a television anime adaptation of author Bokuto Uno and illustrator Ruri Miyuki’s light novel series.
All four of the additional cast members, including One Punch Man’s Makoto Furukawa, will appear in the anime’s eighth episode, set to air this coming Friday, August 25, 2023. The Reign of the Seven Spellblades anime is slated for a total of 12 episodes, suggesting that these four new characters will be central to the season’s closing plot.
While One Punch Man’s Furukawa is likely the most well-known among the new cast members being added, he’s not the only household name in Reign of the Seven Spellblades. Likewise, the magic school series’ cast is now overflowing with talent, given the latest addition of Furukawa and others.
