Tsuda, who voiced Kento Nanami in Jujutsu Kaisen, plays the Deputy Commissioner.
Seki and Nojima both appeared in PSYCHO-PASS, which Motohiro served as general director on. Seki, who voiced protagonist Shinya Kogami, plays the Deputy Superintendent General, while Nojima, who voiced Nobuchika Ginoza, plays the Chief Cabinet Officer. The round-table scenes were shot on a set that Tsuda described as beautiful and cool, and the actors noted the filming atmosphere was warm and accommodating to their requests.
