Nana Mizuki doing both OP and Fate is perfect—having the voice of Fate Testarossa Harlaown also perform "CRIMSON BULLET" creates strong character-series connection. The darker invasion setting is a huge departure; humanity driven to near-extinction by aggressive invasive species contrasts sharply with previous Nanoha series. Gun Blaze Vengeance sounds incredibly intense—the subtitle alone promises brutal action far beyond typical magical girl fare. 30 years of extinction-level threat raises stakes; setting the story in a world that's survived three decades of constant death and destruction adds weight.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance, the latest entry in the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha anime franchise, revealed today that the opening theme song for the series, entitled "CRIMSON BULLET", will be performed by voice actor Nana Mizuki. Mizuki also provides the voice of Fate Testarossa Harlaown in the series.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance will broadcast in Japan beginning in July 2026.
