Crunchyroll has premiered a trailer for their new original anime The God of High School. The trailer showcases three main characters, Jin Mori, Han Daewi, and Yoo Mira, as well as their individual fighting styles in the God of High School tournament. With high energy and a unique story, the trailer delivers on all fronts!
An Action-Packed Story To Unfold
MAPPA is producing the new action-packed series. Following a high schooler and his friends as they partake in a fighting tournament. They borrow powers from the gods as they go and uncover a mysterious organization along the way. All while aiming for the victory at the end of the line.
The series is based on the comic The God of High School webcomic created by Yongje Park. Published on WEBTOON, the series started in 2018 and updates every Friday.
New Character Details Revealed
Along with the new trailer, Crunchyroll has also released more information about each of the characters. Including character profile cards that give a closer look at their designs! The three main characters descriptions give a look into their individual backstories and why they’re participating in the tournament:
- Jin Mori – A sixteen-year-old whose renewal taekwondo, which he learned from his grandfather, makes him undefeatable. Nothing is more important to him than being the best fighter of all, and his current record out of 299 fights is 297 wins and 2 draws. He decides to participate in the God of High School tournament, an interdisciplinary martial arts competition, after suffering the first loss of his life against Judge R, one of the tournament’s judges.
- Han Daewi – One of the “Mad Cows,” a duo that once controlled the entire Gangnam area. He’s been working part-time jobs to pay the medical bills for his partner in the duo Woo Seung-Tae, who fell ill with an incurable disease, but the part-time work available to high schoolers is barely enough to cover the daily medical bills and won’t cover a cure. He joins GOH after being told that he can save his friend if he wins.
- Yoo Mira – The 25th Master of the Moon Light Sword Style. She pretends to be a fragile high schooler, but she has been training since she was a child and has become a skilled sword player. She prefers guys who are tough and strong, because she’s been told that she needs to marry a man strong enough to help her resurrect her family’s sword style. For that reason, she’s participating in GOH.
