Their arrival in Tokyo for Crunchyroll’s festivities has sent waves through the fandom, sparking speculation about possible crossover projects or exclusive content. Something to note is how this international spotlight comes as Netflix prepares to unveil new trailers, release dates, and behind-the-scenes footage at Tudum, scheduled for May 31.
