Written By Samantha Ferreira

Where we’re going, we don’t need blockades… especially those made of blood.

Earlier today, the official Blood Blockade Battlefront & BEYOND anime website updated with three new visuals. The first is a key visual, which features the leads posing before a red background. The relief of a city can be seen behind them.

The site also added visuals for new characters Michella Watch and Sonic. You can check these out below:
