Today, Crunchyroll has released a brand new trailer for the upcoming Crunchyroll Original series “The God of High School,”“ along with introducing the voice acting cast for the main characters.
Within the trailer, fans will get an action-packed introduction to Jin Mori, the carefree, easy-going protagonist of the series who loves to fight using Taekwondo, Han Daewi, a compassionate Kyokushin karate user who values his friends, and Yoo Mira, a Moonlight sword user determined to carry on her family“s tradition, as Crunchyroll teases the tournament to come. Character descriptions for each can be found below:
Jin Mori: A sixteen-year-old whose taekwondo, which he learned from his grandfather, makes him undefeatable. Nothing is more important to him than being the best fighter of all, and his current record out of 299 fights is 297 wins and 2 draws. He decides to participate in the God of High School tournament, an interdisciplinary martial arts competition, after suffering the first loss of his life against Judge R, one of the tournament“s judges.
Yoo Mira: The 25th Master of the Moon Light Sword Style. She pretends to be a fragile high schooler, but she has the strength to easily overpower an entire group of delinquents in a fight. She prefers guys who are macho, because she“s been told that she needs to marry a man strong enough to help her resurrect her family“s sword style. For that reason, she“s participating in GOH to find a potential husband.
Han Daewi: One of the “Mad Cows,”“ a duo that once controlled the entire Gangnam area. He“s been working part-time jobs to pay the medical bills for his partner in the duo, who fell ill with an incurable disease, but the part-time work available to high schoolers is barely enough to cover the daily medical bills and won“t cover a cure.
