Fujiwara voiced Nathan Mahler, one of Diva's Chevalier, [[spoiler:and hilariously enough, Tadayoshi happens to be half-human hybrid too]]. Nojima voiced Karman, one of the artificial chiropterans designed as super soldiers, [[spoiler:and also hilariously enough in the movie, Fumito is also creating artificial Elder Bairns though not for military purposes]].
