Ono & Hanae, with Guests Seiichiro Yamashita & Chiaki Kobayashi, Transform into "Card Soldiers"! Hanae's All-Red Face Makeup Stuns the Studio

■ Voice Cast Members Deep Dive into Disney Twisted-Wonderland The Animation!

Hanae, Yamashita, and Kobayashi, all voice cast members, provided an in-depth explanation of Disney Twisted-Wonderland The Animation, the academy adventure series based on the game and comic, streaming exclusively on Disney Plus. They discussed the highlights of the work and their experiences with acting and character development for the students of Night Raven College.

Hanae, who plays Riddle Rosehearts, the Housewarden of Heartslabyul Dorm, shared his feelings about the anime adaptation: "Riddle is a character who often yells at students who break the rules. When I recorded the game, I yelled so much that I thought, 'I'll never have to do this again.' Then I heard about the anime adaptation and thought, 'Here it comes again!'" (laughs). He continued, detailing his dedication: "The recording was in the morning, and my face was constantly red from yelling. I tried hard to incorporate new expressions while staying true to my performance in the game."

Focusing on the highlights, Hanae commented on Riddle, the "Crimson Tyrant" who strictly adheres to rules as the Housewarden of Heartslabyul Dorm: "He can speak his mind clearly, which is why he also speaks out against the rules sometimes. How Riddle deals with that is one of the central themes." Similarly, Kobayashi, who plays the earnest and straightforward first-year Heartslabyul student Deuce Spade, promoted his character's appeal: "He's serious, but he sometimes 'snaps,' and that gap is his charm." The three further discussed the unique appeal of the "Twisted-Wonderland Anime" from their perspective, highlighting the animation’s unique facial expressions, the quality of the music, and their favorite characters.

■ Why Two Electric Shocks in a Row!? Seiichiro Yamashita Screams Through His Yoasobi "Baptism"

The second half of the show moved to "Yoasobi-Style: Avoid the Unique Magic!", a segment where the cast had to solve anagrams related to the show's "Unique Magic" and avoid the mandatory penalties. They tackled challenging anagrams like: "SUISS WOJUSE BAHOMINO" (meaning: "Drink the sour juice"), "ASUSITO 3 MAIDE JUMBO CUP" (meaning: "Jump 3 times on a foot massage mat"), and "DESURORI BINEI BIBIRI HATO" (meaning: "Jump up and down on the electric shock chair").

Yamashita, who drew the electric shock chair, was experiencing it for the first time. The three Yoasobi MCs playfully provoked him, asking, "Is your butt sensitive?" and "Are your accessories okay?" Yamashita nervously took his seat, murmuring, "I hope nothing comes out..."

When the current hit, he screamed, "Ouch!!" and "I've lost both cheeks!" He then suffered the penalty twice in a row! He gave an enthusiastic reaction, declaring, "The pain hasn't changed...! This show is scary!" Though some voices joked, "The guests won't come back!", Yamashita ended his first appearance with a memorable line: "I will never... come back! (Just kidding, I will!)"

Despite being a first-time guest, Yamashita made a huge splash with his great reactions and explosive laughter. The audience was highly entertained, commenting: "Welcome to Yoasobi," "Great reaction wwww," and "You're too good at variety [TV] wwww."
