The new character Tiě Dí Xiān (鐵笛仙) is voiced by Isshin Chiba. The name’s literal meaning is Iron Flute Deity.
Sei Shin Ikken is loosely based on the spin-off novel first sold at AnimeJapan this year. The plot consists of one arc from the novel and a new short story written by the series’ screenwriter Urobuchi Gen. It is an complement story set between the first season and the second season.
The release dates of both Sei Shin Ikken and the sequel are yet to be announced.
