new stills of Sekoguchi Ryo as Hatano in Zettai BL 2024
The ever-helpful @twig-tea pointed me toward this blog post that collects episode synopses and stills for season 3 from the Zettai BL 2024 twitter account. It’s definitely worth a look/read if you don’t mind mild spoilers. (You could also go directly to twitter, but it’s a pain in the ass these days.)
Here are some highlights from the stills! (I’m going to refer to a few mild spoilers from those twitter posts and from a questionable copy of episode 1 that I peeked at today, so heads up.)
I snuck a peek at a crummy copy of the first episode, which I’ll talk more about in a moment. Hatano wasn’t in the episode but the preview for episode 2 showed this shot of him. Can’t you just tell he’s about to ruin Mob’s life?
The sketchy AI subtitles on the version I saw had the dialogue for this part go like this:
Mob’s voiceover: The difference in the years of fate is about to come to you.
Hatano (looming in the shadows): He’s the one.
So, Mob’s fate is changing, and the “difference” seems to be Hatano?
Apparently Hatano and Mob had some kind of meaningful interaction in the past, in a trope-y way.
You may notice Mob is wearing a school uniform in some of these. Apparently, by some confluence of events, Mob and Hatano end up costarring in some kind of TV drama.
There’s more, along with more episode info in those synopses, at the link above. Speaking of which, thanks for the heads up, Twig! You’re the specific dream rabbit.
Also, my main reason for peeking at that episode was to see the new opening credits and it was worth it. You know how season 1’s and season 2’s opening credits had the same song and the same (or a similar?) set? Season 3 has its own thing going on. New song, new set, and this thing where you see them on an old-fashioned TV instead of watching them directly. The new song is kind of cutesy but in a fun way (I think). I’m pretty sure it’s still Inukai singing the main part but he sounds really different when he’s singing in that style.
So yeah. Having a normal one today, how about you?

Stacey asking Hakaiser if he's really OK with getting so cyborged up (with the electric light show that entails) even though he's fully human--and sounding like he wishes he were entirely human too

Zettai BL posted a photo from the set of the opening credits. Y’all, it is something else.
That’s Sekoguchi Ryo on the far left in the outfit with the yellow/orange fringe. And quite the ensemble it is!
It always seemed pretty danged likely he’d be in the credits number, but it’s nice to have that confirmed. If things go the way they did in past seasons, this also means we’re going to see him dancing and singing. And doing at least one of those absurdly flirty interstitial bits.
I still haven’t heard any news about international distribution/streaming, but hope springs eternal.

these two omg
The fact that these two are essentially the main protagonist and antagonist, and this is how they interact, I love this stupid show so much.

Stacey feeling creeped out by parallels between his horrible father and himself while a certain person's cyborged-out father looks on
