The show’s website also updated with a new visual.
The overlay on the visual features the tagline “Protect it, with these hands.”
Hand Shakers is an original series, set in Osaka. The show will be set in the year “AD20XX”, in a world where pairs of special humans can summon weapons from within their psyches. These special folks, called “Hand Shakers”, join hands to bring forth these weapons, known only as “Nimrodes.”
These pairs of Hand Shakers are locked in a competition with one another, as there can be only one team who can challenge a being known only as “God.” Success against the almighty will see the pair’s greatest wish granted.
The show’s logo contains English text, which reads:
They, the receivers of the Revelation of Babel. They, the challengers to God.
They, who inevitably throw themselves into battle with their partners. What does God want from them?
And did they want powers exceeding that of Gods? The chosen ones, their souls linked, join hand and hand for the Ziggurat where the fighting shall ensue.
