Voice actor Yuki Kaji (39) appeared at the stage greeting event held in Tokyo on the 9th for the release of 'Attack on Titan: The Final Chapter THE LAST ATTACK' and reflected on his memories of recording for the film.

Reflecting on the dubbing session, Kaji said, "It was probably last summer, around June, when we recorded for the final part. My child had caught a pretty bad cold, and I ended up catching it too. I wasn't in the best condition, but strangely enough, my voice managed to come out just fine on the day of the 'Attack on Titan' recording. I gave it my all, and it seems like I poured everything into that session—the next day, I couldn't speak at all," he revealed. "Somehow, my physical and mental exhaustion synced with Eren's. Looking back now, it's almost funny. It's a memory of putting everything I had into it, truly struggling in every sense."

In addition, during the event, a birthday surprise was prepared for Director Hayashi, whose birthday was that day, with a cake featuring artwork from Attack on Titan. Director Hayashi was thrilled, saying, "It was a complete coincidence, but to think it coincided with the long-awaited theatrical release..."

'Attack on Titan' is a dark fantasy series based on the manga of the same name, serialized in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine (Kodansha) from September 2009 to April 2021. It tells the story of humanity, who live inside "walls" and must face the existential threat of "Titans" who prey on humans. The plot revolves around Eren, who dreams of exploring the outside world, alongside his comrades Mikasa, a cool-headed combat expert, and Armin, the brains of the group, as members of the Survey Corps fight against the Titans.

The manga has over 140 million copies in circulation worldwide and has won numerous manga awards. The TV anime began airing in 2013, with the final part of the series broadcast in November 2023. Additionally, a live-action film adaptation starring Haruma Miura was released in 2015, and a Hollywood live-action production has also been announced.

'Attack on Titan: The Final Chapter THE LAST ATTACK' is showing in theaters nationwide for three weeks starting November 8th. It depicts the final battle of the 'Attack on Titan' series and concludes Eren's story. The event also featured Yui Ishikawa (35), who voiced Mikasa Ackerman, in addition to Yuuki Kaji, who played Eren Yeager.
