Rikka Takarada, Gridman characters coming back in Dynazenon?

Rikka and Akane are the two most popular characters from Gridman, and many fans are wondering if they'll come back in the sequel Dynazenon. However, right now, it doesn't look like this will happening.

With that said, as seen in the tweet above, Gauma's seiyuu Daiki Hamano teased a surprise in Dynazenon Episode 5. I personally doubt this is Rikka or another character returning, but it's worth keeping an eye out for it.

As a side note, SSSS.Dynazenon will get its OST CD released on June 16, 2021, in Japan. If you're interested in importing it, I'm sure this isn't your first time importing like that, so this is mainly just a remainder.
