And just like the Disney re-imaginings, her character has been reworked so as to be completely unrecognizable from the iconic character! “There is NO WAY that this girl is going to become the outlandish cigarette smoking cartoon character we know.” is what I thought throughout the show!
In this revisionist drama, Nao "Dorokawa" (Elaiza) and Aika Hijirakawa (Hirona Yamazaki) are boxing athletes with a bitter feud between them, giving I guess a back history of resentment between them from the start. Gan Takaiwada is here as part of some "Criminal Apprehension" team which will eventually become Yatterman central(?) They've even got Yuma Yamato and Wataru Ichinose as Doronjo's motley minions Boyaky and Tonzura, so the key figures are all here...just not like we remember them!
The future Doronjo: Elaiza Ikeda
Yuma Yamato and Wataru Ichinose as Boyaky and Tonzura
Daichi Kaneko and Hirona Yamazaki as the future Yatterman Team
Still, there are a LOT of interesting elements going on and I can’t say I’m not interested in seeing where this is all going!! Gotta say, I'm optimistic for this one!
