Episode 48 Synopsis:

Roy's opponent in the basic test of his Terastal training is Corsa! Roy, keen to start the battle, is forced to wait as Corsa is busy with festival preparations in Bowl Town. A chance encounter with Nemo leads to an impromptu battle. Observing the two, Corsa seems to have some thoughts on Roy's fighting style...?


Comment from Kazuya Nakai (voice of Corsa):

I'm glad people have been waiting for Corsa's return, and frankly, I was waiting too. I thought maybe he wouldn't appear again (laughs). Last time, Corsa seemed a bit concerning, but this time, I've portrayed him as more composed, yet still a bit odd, so I hope viewers enjoy that aspect.


Comment from Eri Kitamura (voice of Nemo):

It's been a while since Nemo's substantial appearance, but rest assured, he's as energetic and reliable as ever, shining brightly this time too. He was a memorable character at his debut, and he continues to make a solid impact. While remaining consistent, I've portrayed his evolution and growth over time. There are many scenes where Nemo feels like a key person for Rico and Roy's development, so I hope you look forward to this episode as well!
