A new image PV has been released for the TV anime "Fuun kara no Saikyo Otoko" ("The Strongest Man, Born From Misfortune"). The clip, which was made available via the official YouTube channel and the production's website at the end of August 2026, is accompanied by Shoya Chiba's image song "Luck Out."
The special footage, conceived specifically for the video by director Shigetaka Ikeda, shows how protagonist Siegbert grows in interplay with the story's characters. At the same time, the focus is on the bitter conflict with his older brother Gert, who repeatedly clashes despite the close family bond. The final sequence, in which the two brothers meet, explicitly picks up on the previously revealed teaser visual and thus points to the expected rift within the family.
In addition, new character visuals of Siegbert and Gert as well as a group illustration of the Abel family have been released. The illustration, which is already visible in the PV's opening sequence, depicts the past on the left side and the future on the right side. It symbolizes how relationships within the family change around Siegbert's birth.
Chiba, who also takes on the lead role of Siegbert in the series, wrote the lyrics for "Luck Out" himself. The song comes from his new EP "Invention." In a statement, the voice actor and singer explained that the source material impressed him with its warmth and love for those close to one. He wanted to create a song that gives strength and encourages one to tackle even difficult situations with confidence. The driving, uplifting number accompanies Siegbert's resolve in the anime: "I will become stronger so that I never lose anyone again."
Background of the production: The anime adaptation was announced in September 2025; in June 2026, the teaser visual and initial staff details followed.
