Shuhei Sakaguchi and Natsumi Kawaida join I Left my A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students… cast

Steven Reynolds May 15, 2025

As the anime heads into its third part, the production team for the ongoing fantasy action adventure I Left my A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths! announced two new cast members earlier today.

They are — Shuuhei Sakaguchi (Mattia Ingram in Tiger & Bunny) who is voicing Vincent the 5th, and Natsumi Kawaida (Himari Momochi in The Demon Prince of Momochi House) who plays Selphie-chan.

Both characters will first appear in the upcoming Episode 18, which premieres on May 17th, 2025.

Visuals of their character designs were also released via the anime’s official X page:

Along with the two new characters, we also got another trailer (watch at the bottom of this post) and a vibrant key visual featuring all the anime’s main characters.

Production details for I Left my A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths

The fantasy anime is based on the light novels written by Kōsuke Unagi and illustrated by Super Zombie.

The novel series has five volumes out, plus a manga adaptation with 10 volumes.

Kodansha USA publishes the manga adaptation, with three volumes published so far and Volume 4 dropping next week.

The I Left my A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths anime adaptation is being directed by Katsumi Ono (Skeleton Knight in Another World), with Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (Shangri-La Frontier) in charge of series composition, and Masakazu Yamazaki (Birdie Wing) designing the characters.

Bandai Namco Pictures (Wistoria: Wand and Sword) is animating the series.

Check out the new trailer, and watch the first 17 episodes of the fantasy anime now via Crunchyroll.
