The highly anticipated light anime adaptation of the digital fantasy josei manga, ‘Daikenja Riddle no Jikan Gyakko’ — known in English as ‘The Great Sage Riddle’s Time Reversal’ — has just released its first exciting teaser trailer! Alongside this reveal, fans also got a sneak peek at the official theme song, ‘Savage,’ performed by the talented artist Asaka. Mark your calendars, as the series is set to begin broadcasting in Japan on April 1.
While the teaser trailer and key art offer a glimpse into the world, the original ‘Daikenja Riddle no Jikan Gyakko’ manga is published by Shogakukan under their Seed Comics imprint, with Neneko crafting the captivating story and Hajime Nitaka bringing it to life through illustrations. The light anime boasts an impressive voice cast, featuring Junya Enoki as the protagonist, Riddle, and Azusa Tadokoro as Norn.
At its heart, the series tells the compelling story of Riddle, a hero locked in an arduous, millennium-long battle against a shadowy, malevolent organization known as the ‘Box of Malice.’ Over these thousand years, Riddle endures unimaginable loss, sacrificing his friends, his very humanity, and eventually, the entire world. Yet, from the depths of despair, a flicker of hope emerges: Riddle successfully reverses time, returning to the past. Now, armed with the accumulated knowledge and experience of a thousand lifetimes, he embarks on a new quest, determined to vanquish the Box of Malice forever and change destiny.
