Let me battle feat. Muto Variant Art:

Kyōko Itō retweeted a post by the official Japanese Anipoke Twitter account which was promoting a YouTube clip of the Let me battle feat. Muto ending variant and indicated that she had worked on the artwork that was used in the ending variant and as the main picture for the video on YouTube. The clip was region locked to Japan and was posted on July 12th, 2024.
