■ New trailer cuts

What terrible fate awaits them and what secrets remain hidden in this world?

■ History

The war was fought and won. Life went on.

After saving the world aboard the giant tank Taranis, the children return home to live their lives in peace.

Until one day… Half their number become trapped in the Taranis as it goes berserk, leaving atrocities and strife in its wake.

The children and their new friend Vanilla climb aboard their former enemy, Tarascus, and race to rescue their captured friends.

The tragedy that awaits may lead them down a path of revenge…

■ Draw

Malt marzipan (voiced by Ayumu Murase)

“I will make you regret ever being born!”

The oldest of the group of children from Petit Mona. The difficult conflict a year ago gave him a sober maturity. Likewise, he now finds himself in the world-weary pitfall of exhausted cynicism.

Mei marzipan (voiced by Hina Kino)

“I can do anything!”

Malt’s little sister. Mei can’t wait to grow up and help everyone just like Hanna, whom she considers a sister. She cherishes the hat Malt gave her.

Fondant Hanmna (voiced by Reina Ueda)

“I want to be a doctor one day so I can help people…”

Malt’s childhood friend. She helps around the house while studying to be a doctor with the goal of saving as many lives as possible. She is always willing to sacrifice herself for the good of others.

Bavarian Kyle (voiced by Sachi Kokuryu)

“Man, it feels like a bad dream to be in here.

After the tough fight the previous year, Kyle has since learned the importance of being part of the team – he is much more open than he used to be. He still sees Malt as his rival.

Boron Brioche (voiced by Shinnosuke Tokudome)

“It’s a lot more fun when everyone’s together, huh?”

After surviving many tough battles, Boron is no longer a crybaby – although his kind and gentle heart remains intact. Now he aims to curb his overindulgence in culinary dishes.

Socks Million (voiced by Miyu Tomita)

“What a wonderful piece of machinery!”

Socks uses the technical knowledge he has gained from studying Taranis to hone his unique craft as an inventor. His current interests lie in Berman airship technology.

Vanilla Muscat (voiced by Mami Fujita)

“I’m Vanilla. Nice to meet you all.”

The president’s youngest daughter. Due to her upbringing, she is well-educated, well-behaved and always speaks politely. She can be a little fierce and hard-headed at times, which she considers a personal flaw.
