New Visual and Voice Cast Announced for Oblivion Battery's 2026 Event
Mikawa Eko's manga of the same name, Oblivion Battery, has announced a new visual and additional voice actors for its major 2026 event “Oblivion Festa 2026”. In this second wave following the previously announced first cast, famous voice actors Takeo Otsuka (e.g., Yuuji Itadori in Jujutsu Kaisen) and Mark Ishii (e.g., Kōshi Sugawara in Haikyuu!!) are included. The event's official visual shows the characters together in a dynamic pose.
The event is seen as a major promotional phase for the Oblivion Battery anime adaptation. The series, whose first season aired from April to June 2024, tells the comedic story of a high school baseball team's forgotten talents and friendship. The manga has been serialized on Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ platform since 2018 and quickly gained a large fanbase. The anime was directed by Yūjirō Abe, with MAPPA studio handling production. The first season stood out for its high-paced scenes and character depth.
According to previously announced event details, Oblivion Festa 2026 will likely be a platform for special announcements regarding the anime's cast, producers, and possibly a new season or movie. This event, expected to be held in Japan, will allow fans to get closer to the series. Additionally, it was announced at the end of last year that the manga series had entered a new arc, which strengthens the possibility that we could hear news of a new season for the anime at the event. The participation of names like Takeo Otsuka and Mark Ishii shows how big a production the event is.
This announcement is especially exciting for fans who enjoyed the first season of Oblivion Battery and are curious about the continuation of the story. The first season finale ended with captain Kaname and his teammates experiencing surprises along their tournament journey. While the event will provide hints about the series' future, for now all eyes are on this big gathering in 2026. Ticket sales are expected to start in June. Anime fans in Turkey are also wondering whether there will be a live stream or special content related to the event.
