Main Trailer and Latest Key Visual

The New Trailer Puts Gabriel at the Center

The main trailer opens with senior DIVA officials seen in connection with the previous film before shifting toward Gabriel. The official description confirms that the sequence is built entirely from new cuts.

Gabriel and the other agents now face the consequences of Angela Balzac's rebellion. The final section also offers a look at Mega Arhan, a new machine appearing in the sequel.

The Fallen Become the Central Mystery on Earth

The sequel takes place after the first film. A number of Security Bureau agents hacked by Angela escaped to the surface while taking material bodies and hardware containing their personal data.

DIVA treats their continued existence as a threat, and they become known as the Fallen. Gabriel and her team are ordered to uncover their identity while navigating the nano hazards that remain on Earth.

“Beyond the Night” Accompanies the New Journey

The main trailer also provides an official preview of “Beyond the Night.”

TeddyLoid handles the lyrics, composition and arrangement, with Ayane Sakura singing as Gabriel alongside Nagi Inoue. Official comments describe the song as being built around feelings carried across time and hearts that remain connected despite distance.

The Latest Visual Brings the Cast and Arhan Together

Character designer Masatsugu Saito illustrated the newest key visual. It places five main characters alongside Arhan against a snowy mountain landscape.

Arriving roughly one month before release, the image reinforces Gabriel and the new group as the center of the sequel while maintaining the visual connection to the world established in 2014.

Why This Matters

1) The trailer is built entirely from new footage

This campaign finally moves beyond recycling earlier teaser material and provides a broader view of Gabriel's conflict.

2) Mega Arhan is shown directly

The new machine is one of the trailer's most significant reveals.

3) Gabriel's voice actress also performs the theme song

Ayane Sakura returns not only as Gabriel's voice but also as one of the vocalists on “Beyond the Night” alongside Nagi Inoue.
