Fate Rewinder reveals visuals of its four protagonists

Fate Rewinder now has a face for its four protagonists. The production released individual portraits of Chrono, Shirai, Akaba and Lemon, one more step in a campaign that keeps its arrival date intact: April 2027.

The visuals come with the cast locked in for months. Shō Komura voices Chrono, Kōki Uchiyama voices Shirai, Kōhei Amasaki voices Akaba and Reina Ueda voices Lemon, four names attached to the project since its initial announcement.

Who's who in the cast

Chrono is the center of the show: a member of a special time police unit who carries the so-called Retry Eye in his right eye, a mechanism that lets him go back and prevent tragic outcomes. By his side are Shirai, Akaba and Lemon, the rest of a quartet the series places at the heart of the story.

Each one arrives with their own promotional image, designed to introduce them separately before bringing them together in joint material. The four portraits share the same format and framing, so they work both on their own and in sequence.

A team with Matsumoto, Ueno and Kawamoto at the helm

Direction is in the hands of Rie Matsumoto, with animation by Bones Film. Kimiko Ueno writes the scripts and series composition, Toshihiro Kawamoto handles character design and Satoshi Murai composes the music. Story Inc. is credited as a producer.

That technical staff explains much of the interest around the series: Matsumoto and Kawamoto arrive with very recognizable careers in the industry, and Bones Film is taking on the project as one of its main titles for 2027.

From Fūta Kimura's manga to Japanese prime time

The series adapts the manga by Fūta Kimura, published in Japan under the full title Unmei no Makimodo Shi – All Great Achievements Require Time. It debuted in Coro Coro Comics in January 2022 and, before this TV adaptation, it already had a net anime version that premiered on YouTube in spring of that same year.

Its awards history includes the 71st Shogakukan Manga Award, announced in January 2026, plus a nomination at the 69th edition of those awards in 2023.

Crunchyroll will stream the series outside Japan, while in the Asian country it will air on TV Asahi's IMAnimation block, distributed across a network of 24 stations, on Saturdays at 23:30.

There are still loose ends: the exact day in April and the episode count remain unannounced. With the four faces now on the table, the campaign's next move is a trailer with scenes from the series.
