SSSS.Dynazenon Confirmed for April 2021 Release
A new SSSS.Dynazenon trailer and cast announcements have also been revealed.
Back in October, Studio Trigger released its first preview for SSSS.Dynazenon, the sequel to last year’s SSSS.Gridman. Last weekend, a new trailer was shown as part of Tokyo Comic Con featuring music from Shiro Sagisu and a confirmed April 2021 release window.
In the trailer above, various characters from the first preview are featured once again alongside newly revealed characters. This includes the full design for the titular Dynazenon, created by Tsuyoshi Nonaka. The first preview only showed Dyna Dragon, one half of the mecha combination, laying on the ground. This time, we can see Dynazenon jumping around in action. For a closer look at Dynazenon’s design, Trigger has released a new key visual (pictured above). Photos were also taken of a real-life Dynazenon suit as part of the Tokyo Comic-Con event, and the cast of SSSS.Dynazenon put on a special stage show for the convention.

While SSSS.Gridman is an animated successor to 1993’s tokusatsu show, Gridman The Hyper Agent (Denkou Chojin Gridman), SSSS.Dynazenon gets its title from two of the original Gridman’s support mecha: Dyna Dragon and God Zenon. Along with the previous announcements, a new official English website was launched for the new show where the cast, characters, staff, and trailer can all be viewed along with the new key visual. There is also a “story” section on the website, but the option is grayed out as of writing. No story details beyond what’s in each preview are available at this time.
SSSS.Dynazenon will air in April 2021.
