In the following live recap special featuring Makoto Koichi, Akira Sekine (Tao), Eriko Matsui (Shiro), and Minami Tsuda (Saria), the cast looked back at Season 2 highlights while chatting. They mixed in behind-the-scenes recording stories, cheered excitedly during battle scenes, and became lively during comedic scenes. In a scene where Lloyd and the others eat pancakes, they reminisced, saying, “We went to eat pancakes after that recording!” and happily shared memories.

In addition, during the “7th Cast Girls’ Talk,” where the cast freely discussed topics they devised, each revealed their “best character.” Sekine, who proposed the topic, said she’s often drawn to villains and picked “Gitan.” She spoke with feeling about his deep voice, saying, “His voice is so rich... it just pierces right through me.”

Next, Matsui, who finds herself drawn to protagonists, chose Lloyd, saying, “Koichi-chan brings out Lloyd’s cute and cool sides perfectly. With Lloyd being such an amazing protagonist, I just can’t help but pick him as my favorite,” expressing her admiration for Koichi while passionately describing Lloyd’s appeal.

Tsuda chose Shiro, praising, “Shiro is just too adorable!” and “Matsui-san’s acting is truly wonderful.” She recalled how hearing Shiro’s squeals from another recording session cheered her up: “Even just waiting for Shiro to come in was so much fun! I just wanted to cuddle Shiro whenever I heard those squeals (laughs),” expressing her overflowing affection.

Finally, Koichi picked Lloyd’s older brother, Albert, with a smile, saying, “What I like is that the ‘Light-attribute’ brother isn’t the protagonist.” She explained, “Even though he’s ‘Light-attribute’ and seems protagonist-like, his excessive love for his little brother makes him so much of a ‘brother-complex’ that he could almost destroy the country—that gap is just the best!” Her deep insight into the character had everyone else nodding in agreement.

The four also enjoyed girls’ talk topics like “Recommended dieting methods?” and “Favorite things about animals.” Furthermore, in a theme inspired by Saria, who plays the piano, called “Lessons and Club Activities,” they discovered a surprising commonality among the cast. When Tsuda said she was in the choir club, both Koichi and Matsui replied, “I was in choir, too!” causing a stir with their unexpected match.

On the other hand, Sekine somewhat awkwardly admitted, “I was in the brass band club,” but quickly added, “But we did practice singing sometimes too!” revealing that all members had strong ties to music. When MC Haruka Mori suggested, “I’d love to see a 7th Choir!” all four nodded enthusiastically, and the studio was filled with excitement.

They also enjoyed segments like “What’s This? Mini-Concert!” where they played prepared instruments and had to guess what the piece was.
