Why it matters
The two new roles fill out the online community that gives the show its premise, a fetish for watching strong people weakened, so the cast announcement tells viewers how much of that group the anime intends to animate.

Both characters belong to the "bandage alliance," an internet community that gathers people who want to see strong figures weakened. The protagonist, Riyo Washizu, posts there under the username Wamp Samurai. That makes the two additions part of the show's central joke rather than incidental supporting roles.
Hisako Kanemoto voices Riyo, with Chikahiro Kobayashi as Go Kiritani, the young yakuza subordinate assigned as her caretaker. Shoya Ishige plays Ginsuke Hatobane. Miyuki Ishida directs at J.C. Staff, Susumu Yamakawa writes the scripts, and Natsuki Oyama designs the characters.
The anime airs on AT-X on January 9 at 11:00 p.m., then on ABC and TV Asahi's Animazing!!! block at 26:00, effectively Sunday at 2:00 a.m. ABEMA streams it half an hour after the terrestrial broadcast.
