Toshiki Masuda is cast as the Flame Emperor in the SSS-Class Revival Hunter anime, which debuts in January on Fuji TV's +Ultra block and streams worldwide excluding Asia on Crunchyroll. He also voices the male Rover in Wuthering Waves, whose Ver.3.3 recording sessions he discussed in a May interview.
Toshiki Masuda's recent work splits between a newly announced anime role and an ongoing game role. The two most recent stories cover the same production under slightly different titles, and both confirm Masuda as the Flame Emperor. On October 11 the anime added eight cast members, with Takeo Otsuka as Gongja Kim and Masuda among the additions. Two days later a second promotional video named the same eight performers with alternate role translations, including Masuda's Flame Emperor, and added ending theme performers THE SPELLBOUND x BOOM BOOM SATELLITES. That story places the broadcast on Fuji TV's +Ultra block beginning January 2027; the earlier one gives the month as January without a year and says Crunchyroll streams it worldwide excluding Asia.
The rest of the cast list is consistent between the two announcements: Satoshi Hino as the Sword Emperor, Megumi Han as the Witch of the Black Dragon, Sayaka Kinoshita as the Paladin, Risa Shimizu as the Countess, Makoto Furukawa as the Poisonous Viper, Natsumi Fujiwara as the Inquisitor, Yuka Iguchi as the Master Alchemist, and Shunsuke Sakuya as the Blade Saint. The second story adds that THE SPELLBOUND x BOOM BOOM SATELLITES perform the ending theme. Beyond the Flame Emperor role, the only other Masuda credit in these stories is the male Rover in Wuthering Waves. In a May interview with Denfaminicogamer, Masuda and Miku Ito, who voices Dania, described recording Ver.3.3; Masuda said the director stopped him for being too intense, and Ito said she screamed internally during the climax.
