According to the listing translated here, the InaDan movie had a first press bonus that had a code to download a special audio drama from http://inadan-drama.com/ and included adult Touko in the cast. The drama is apparently a prologue for the drama CD "Toki Wo Koeru Kizuna".
Adult Touko appeared in the GO game but this is the closest she's got an anime appearance.
Unfortunately, the drama was only downloadable from August 2013 through December 2013. Does anyone know if there's an upload or a summary of the drama anywhere in any language?
I've been trying to find Japanese posts about it, and what I've uncovered so far are a few tweets that mention 1) GO Fudou and Touko are acquaintances, and Touko dragged Fudou along to where the characters meet. 2) Aki calls Fuyuka "Fuyuka-chan". It sounds really interesting and I'd like to find out more.

Animage January 2013 - InaDan Movie Crossover - Fukuyama Jun (Hakuryuu) and Terashima Junta (Yukimura Hyouga) Interview
Full scans can be found here.
Hakuryuu/ FW/ Shirt Number 7
In previous series he appeared as an enemy character. He and Tsurugi invaded the enemy’s side of the field together, and as soon as the match started he summoned his keshin, Holy Beast Shining Dragon and used keshin armed!
Keshin armed Hakuryuu, clad in a shining light, unleashes his special move Dragon Blaster!
Fukuyama Jun - Hakuryuu
Q1 - First, please tell us your impression of the movie and the characters.
A - I felt like it was made to deny all logic. Two series that normally exist separately crossed over to meet each other. Hakuryuu’s different from when I last played him.
Q2 - Please tell us your favorite scene and dialogue.
A - When everyone said ‘We will never give up!’.
Q3 - How do you think the match against Inazuma Legend Japan would have went?
A - I think for sure there’s no way we can win against those adult legends yet (laughs).
Q4 - If you could meet the characters from the InaDan movie again, what would you like to see happen?
A - I want to win against Ban’s LBX.
Yukimura Hyouga/ MF/ Shirt Number 6
A player from Hakuren who idolizes and adores Fubuki. He goes to attack Asuka’s Vampire Cat with his Panther Blizzard, but suddenly he’s surrounded by 4 LBX...
Terashima Junta - Yukimura Hyouga
Q1 - First, please tell us your impression of the movie and the characters.
A - I was first surprised when I saw Yukimura had made it in as a member of Shinsei Inazuma Japan. Since he was an opponent for Tenma and the others in the TV series, it was refreshing to see him be able to interact with them as a member of the same team.
Q2 - Please tell us your favorite scene and dialogue.
A - I’m glad he got to use his Pather Blizzard attack once again. The way you should the names of special moves in the movie is a little different to the TV series. And when Fran smiled in the last scene, I felt like I was gonna cry in the recording studio.
Q3 - How do you think the match against Inazuma Legend Japan would have went?
A - We probably can’t win against our senpais yet, but I think that it might end up being only a small difference in points. Personally I would like to see a battle between Yukimura and Fubuki as master and student. And since they’re all on the same team now, I’d like all the strikers - Taiyou, Hakuryuu etc… - to shoot a special attack move together.
Q4 - If you could meet the characters from the InaDan movie again, what would you like to see happen?
A - Since camping in the movie looked fun, I’d like everyone - the Danball Senki W characters - Inazuma Legend Japan, Fran - to all go camping together. Even when they’re camping I have a feeling Yukimura would be clingy around Fubuki… (laughs).
So I’ve just finished reading the novel version of the Inazuma GO vs Danball Senki crossover movie and I wanna talk about my favorite parts. And when I say ‘finished reading’ I mean ‘read all the Inazuma parts and skipped the DanSen parts because if Muraku’s not there I’m not interested’.
An Overview
The book is 198 pages long and covers up to the scene where Fran is ‘rescued’ by Tenma and the others.
The novel expands on the background of both the birth of Shinsei Inazuma Japan and the LBX.
There’s new scenes that aren’t in the movie.
It’s very slow-paced. The first 100 pages focus slowly on the lead up to the exhibition match between Shinsei Inazuma Japan and Inazuma Legend Japan.
A translation of Volume 1 can be found here.
So I won’t be translating it, buuut like I said above I wanna talk about my favorite parts. Note: I will use MY personal translations (which are very liberal because LOL) not the translations from the link above.
Araceli’s Personal Fav Parts
So the first scene that caught my attention is the opening of Chapter 1 Two Worlds, where Tenma is running late to after school practice
Matsukaze Tenma was only a first year, but he was the Captain of Raimon soccer club. While he still had a few more months of being part of the soccer club’s kouhai - junior - members, soon enough new members would join and in turn become Tenma’s kouhai. Tenma knew that meant at the same time the current third years would graduate, so Tenma felt a strong responsibility to take his role as Captain very seriously.
‘I’ve got to pull it together! From next year I’ll become a senpai!’
Two things here. 1 - the third years graduating is acknowledged. I don’t feel particularly strongly about Amagi, Sangoku and Kurumada but it’s still emotional for the soccer club... members leaving... The second thing is TENMA AS A SENPAI PLEASE I WANNA SEE. This is so cute. He’s already shown he’s becoming more mature and responsible in Chrono Stone and Galaxy. Tenma senpai... He’s just too tiny and cute to be a senpai...
Also:
Gouenji, Kidou and Endou are described as Raimon’s Old Boys which is... funny to me... Since Minamisawa calls Kidou etc.. an ‘old man’ in the drama CD. Hah.
The scene is as follows: Hibiki has an important announcement for certain players he called to Raimon’s soccer building. It reminds me of the original series episode 69 - Birth of Inazuma Japan!
Tsurugi’s eyes are, once again, described as ‘long and sharp’. This reminds me of the scene from the games when Aoi says that ‘Tsurugi’s eyes have a really kind expression when he smiles’. Uhh... So Kyousuke has really pretty eyes I guess.
Tenma calls Yukimura Yukimura-san. Cute.
Tsurugi lets Tenma know Hakuryuu is there too.
Then GOOD PART:
Nowadays, Hakuryuu and Tsurugi were good friends who would sometimes meet up and practice together.
They meet up and practice together?? Hakuryuu and Tsurugi BROTP. Hakuryuu’s school is still not confirmed though, lame.
Then BEST PART IN THE WHOLE BOOK - a physical description of Kirino. I cannot... describe... my sheer joy... This is the canon physical description of Kirino...
His long hair was gathered on both sides and hung down low. While he had a gentle-looking attractive face, his eyes shone with resolute determination.
My baby is once again canon beautiful and I’m happy. Shut up.
Next Hibiki tells them they will be the new Inazuma Japan and play an exhibition match against the Inazuma Legend Japan. They’re nervous but all accept one by one, until it’s Hakuryuu’s turn. Hakuryuu’s been quiet the whole time, until Tsurugi teases him about being afraid. The smartass replies:
‘So the reason I’m here is basically because there’s no way these guys can win against the legendary players by themselves’?’
Show off. Last to accept is Kariya, who’s basically bullied into joining the team, even though he’s really reluctant. Kariya exists to be teased by everyone lol.
Then Hibiki tells them there will be a training camp for a week before the exhibition match. So they all have this training camp together at Raimon school and that means that they all spent all that time together THAT I DON’T GET TO SEE ;w; Don’t tease me like that... No wait - do tease me. I want Hakuryuu Tsurugi bromance.
Locker room scene. Inazuma Legend Japan.
Gouenji is described is wearing his hair in ‘pomade’ style for the first time in a while. According to my dictionary pomade comes from French, but I don’t know what it means. I guess spikes?? Anyway, to his teammates this feels ‘refreshing’, and Endou says it it feels like his ‘old friend has returned’. Gouenji feels the same about Endou wearing gloves.
Kazemaru fixes his hair in front of the mirror. Nice. My boy needs a mirror to make sure he looks pretty. No hastily tied ponytail for him - he’s gonna do it the neat way. Yes I know I read way too much into this.
Okay, we’re skipping the whole match to land on Fei’s description.
His light green hair looked like two long rabbit ears...
RABBIT BOY CONFIRMED.
Next the super super cute part that talks about how the Ina girls and the Danball girls bond.
The girls gathered together and talked about the differences in fashion between the two worlds. They talked about the stylishness and cuteness of the outfits they were wearing, and got a feel for the atmosphere of each of the world based on what celebrities were popular over there.
THE WORLD IS ABOUT TO BE ERASED and they’re talking about cute boys and clothes. My kind of girls. I’m not even kidding. I wanna hear this conversation so bad. What idol does Aoi-chan like??
And before anyone worries ‘this is so sexist, having the girls talk about clothes and shit’ nahhh man this is pretty much exactly how I expect Japanese girls to act with each other lmao.
Last scene of interest: Yukimura, Kirino, Hakuryuu and Tsurugi are on water-gathering duty and have a short scene that’s not in the movie.
-Yukimura asks Kirino a question and calls him Kirino-kun. Why’s this matter? Means Yukimura’s more polite than I thought.
‘Kirino-kun, what do you think of Yamano Ban and the others?’
-Kirino takes a while to answer the question, as if he’s choosing his words carefully. Kirino personality UP! He’s careful about what he says. I love this boy.
-Hakuryuu calls Yukimura by Yukimura-san. So Hakuryuu IS a first year. I didn’t know that but it explains a lot.
‘Thank you, Yukimura-san! To be honest, I’ve been wanting to talk about this for a while.’
-Hakuryuu is super suspicious of the LBX crew, as is Yukimura. Kirino and Tsurugi are more willing to trust them, even if they’re also suspicious. Great foreshadowing - oh wait, this scene is not in the movie.
-Yukimura says the LBX gang might just be pretending to be their friends to get close to them so they can erase them too, but Kirino says he’s overthinking it.
Hakuryuu, however, sides with Yukimura.
‘I can buy Yukimura’s theory.’
Tsurugi tells him to cut it out, but Hakuryuu ignores him. LOL. I need more of these two, PLEASE.
And that’s it. For now. The book was fun. Read the translation if you like. And if you’ve anything you wanna add/ say please do!
