The staff of Ishimori Production's Cyborg 009: Nemesis released the anime's main promotional video on Thursday, revealing the ending theme song "Climal" by Sukima Switch. The trailer also previews the opening theme "Taga Tame ni" by Kyoko, a cover of the 1979 Cyborg 009 series theme originally written by Shotaro Ishinomori. The anime will stream three episodes starting July 19 at midnight JST on Abema Premium, d Anime Store, U-NEXT, Anime Hodai, Prime Video, DMM TV, and other services in Japan. An advance screening will be held on July 18 at Shinjuku Wald 9 in Tokyo, with appearances by voice actors Yuki Kaji (Joe Shimamura/Cyborg 009), Yuichi Nakamura (Graviton/Nemesis 009), and Saori Hayami (Francois/Cyborg 003). The story follows the 00 cyborgs as they face a new group of nine cyborgs called Nemesis, who believe the original team cannot achieve world peace. Hideki Ambo directs at studio Arect, with scripts by Atsuhiro Tomioka and CHARATEX.
The main trailer for Cyborg 009: Nemesis interweaves battle scenes between the 00-number cyborgs and the Nemesis group, led by Graviton, who manipulates gravity. The trailer includes dialogue where Graviton declares, "We are a necessary evil. Sacrifice is unavoidable for justice," and Joe responds, "If you are going to kill, I will protect them with all my might." Sukima Switch commented on the ending theme, saying they are honored to be involved with the series and that the battle scenes where cyborgs fight for their own ideals are unmissable.
The opening theme "Taga Tame ni" was originally performed by Ken Narita and Koorogi '73 for the 1979 television series, with lyrics by Ishinomori himself. The advance screening on July 18 will include a stage greeting and a B2 poster for attendees. Tickets are 2,900 yen, with pre-reservations starting June 27 via Ticket Pia. The anime is produced by Ishimori Pro and animated by Arect, with character design by sanorin and music by Kenji Katoh.
