A new teaser trailer has been released for AS ONE, the upcoming prequel anime film to Square Enix’s sci-fi arcade game Starwing Paradox. Alongside the video, it was announced that Ruki Shiroiwa, a member of the boy group JO1, will be voicing the main character, Yo. The film is now officially set to premiere in Japan on August 22, 2025.
AS ONE was announced in March as a prequel story set 20 years before the events of the game. The movie’s main staff includes Kobun Shizuno, known for directing multiple Detective Conan films, and Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, the legendary artist behind Neon Genesis Evangelion and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, who is returning to redesign the characters for the movie.
You can watch the new teaser video below.
Director Shizuno previously said about the character: “The heart of the story lies in the melody played by the protagonist, Yo. When his song resonates across time and reaches Meguriboshi, secrets previously untold in the original game will finally be unveiled—secrets about Realide, the origins of Aerial, and the deep connection between Meguriboshi and Earth.”
