Mugino’s (Koshimizu’s) Unreasonable Demands Explode! Series Commentary Corner

During the following segment, "Beginners & Hanano Can Understand with This! Toaru Series & Toaru Anbu no Item," Koshimizu used her Mugino-like tone to jokingly pressure Suzaki, saying, "Takitsubo! Read! Explain it to the beginners!" prompting her to give a commentary on the series.

Additionally, when Koshimizu asked, "Are you familiar with the Toaru series?", Hishikawa revealed, "My younger sister is a huge fan, so we watched it as a family." When asked what she was doing ten years ago, Hishikawa replied, "I was only ten and in elementary school..." which left the veteran cast members visibly shocked.

Koshimizu's "unreasonable demands" continued. When told, "F-r-e-n-d-a! Read! Introduce it!", Uchida read the introduction in Frenda’s voice, saying, "If I don't do it, things are gonna get bad...", and Akasaki explained the highlights when told, "Kinuhata! You introduce it too!", resulting in the friendly, chaotic banter typical of ITEM.

Hishikawa, tasked with introducing her own character, explained that Chōbi Hanano is a "Level 0 (Powerless) infiltration specialist who can copy anyone’s appearance, habits, speech patterns, tone, and even body odor, regardless of gender or age," and received warm words of encouragement from her seniors.

Heading Toward the Fall Broadcast — Messages from the Cast

At the end of the event, the speakers sent messages to the audience.

Hana Hishikawa (Chōbi Hanano):
"I'm planning to rewatch the Toaru series before fall to enjoy it with the viewers. I hope everyone turns up their Toaru fever and makes this a true 'Toaru Year'."

Chinatsu Akasaki (Saiai Kinuhata):
"I never thought this kind of story would be depicted after more than 10 years. I think if you go back to the beginning, you'll see things in a different light, so I want you to savor this work thoroughly."

Maaya Uchida (Frenda Seivelun):
"You’ll definitely fall in love once you see ITEM in action! Since it depicts the earliest story, I can recommend it to those starting here; it’ll be the trigger that pulls you into the 'swamp' of this franchise."

Aya Suzaki (Rikō Takitsubo):
"I think Hanano, who appears starting this time, will really stir things up in the main story. This is my first stage event since I started playing this role 13 years ago, and I’m grateful to be involved in a work with such a long history."

Ami Koshimizu (Shizuri Mugino):
"I’m so happy that the daily lives of all of ITEM (the Dark Side) are being depicted. I want everyone to enjoy seeing that there were times like these!"

Surrounded by the cheers of many fans, the first stage event for Toaru Anbu no Item concluded as a great success.
