The One Piece YouTube channel unveiled the cast and January 22 premiere for the Monsters: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation anime in a new trailer on Sunday. The series adapts Eiichiro Oda‘s “Monsters: Ippaku Sanjō Hiryū Jigoku” one-shot manga.
The cast includes (from left to right):
- Yoshimasa Hosoya as Ryuma
- Kana Hanazawa as Flare
- Hiroki Tōchi as Cyrano
- Mitsuaki Madono as D.R.
- Katsuhito Nomura as Master
Hosoya is reprising his role from the earlier voice drama adaptation.
Monsters: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation arrives on Netflix on January 22.
Ani-One Asia describes the anime:
In a world where the only “threat” that could disrupt the peace is up in the sky. The “terror” that can cause catastrophic havoc to this world, Dragon. A legendary one-shot manga adaption by the young 19-year-old Eiichiro Oda, before the serialization of “ONE PIECE”. This is the story of the Samurai Ryuma.
Jujutsu Kaisen and Jujutsu Kaisen 0 director Sunghoo Park is directing the anime and is also in charge of composition. Park’s new studio E&H production is animating the work. The anime will be the length of one episode.
The one-shot was featured in Oda’s Wanted!, which is a collection of manga one-shots. Shueisha published Wanted! in Japan in 1998. Shueisha first published the one-shot in 1994 in Weekly Shonen Jump. The manga features the character Ryuma, who later appears in Oda’s One Piece manga.
Update: The English version of the trailer notes that the premiere date outside Asia is January 21. Thanks, feitan000.
