CD Project Red have implied that they may be collaborating with Trigger on another project, but it's not yet ready for announcement. Whatever this is (if it ever does come to light) most likely will not be another season of Edgerunners, as both CDPR and Trigger have said that story is completed and over, so maybe it's something else. Another animation set in the world of Cyberpunk? An anime set in the world of The Witcher? Or a new IP that's yet to be announced, or maybe the tabletop game that's been teased the last few months (though that has already been announced, as has Imashi's involvement in it; I'm hoping for a Witcher anime).
“Yes, we do have plans. That’s why we have started cooperating with Anonymous Content [on the live action project]. We want things to happen,” he said.

“A lot is happening, a lot is planned. Trigger was in 2018 but [Edgerunners] started in 2022, so for a number of years we did not speak about this because it wasn’t ready.

“There are plans we’d rather keep quiet until there is something to speak about, until there is really something to discuss, some concreate announcement.

“When the time comes, we’ll tell you. I know I keep repeating it, but yes, the general direction is this – to go this way, this is strategically important for us.”

Chief creative officer Adam Badowski then added: “What’s also important is that Trigger, our partner, has certain rules for announcing projects and we have to be compliant with this.”

Good news everyone! I've finally watched Gridman Universe! There's a lot to unpackage here, and there's still tons I need to go over, but there's more than enough to go over in the meantime...
As I suspected, Gridman Universe puts Gridman Universe solidly among the top 3 strongest Trigger series, with only Gurren Lagann and Kill La Kill posing any competition. The reason people from other worlds are appearing is because there's a multiverse (by common series plotline, Utsumi means of Ultra series; Gridman Universe's writer Keiichi Hasegawa was even the main writer of several Ultraman series, including Ultraman Nexus).
v4DHgII.jpg
The core threat, which causes the Dynazenon cast to appear in the SSSS.Gridman universe is believed to be a Big Crunch on a dimensional level...
vWVdI5P.jpg
...However, it ends up being something else; Gridman was forced to engulf the entire Universe by an unknown force, which caused the Multiverse to overlap, which includes all of the universes that Gridman created (being able to create is an ability that Gridman gained from humans, as he has no form originally), thus threatening all of existence.
mSYVbl8.jpg
As Gridman would never want a situation like this to happen, the only conclusion is that Gridman is being controlled (which turns out to be true, as detailed further below).
udVAd8W.png
When Gridman's consciousness shuts off in the world Akane created, all the cast of Dynazenon (with the exception of Yomogi) vanish. Knight (who reverts to being Anti) says that Yomogi was able to survive because of Anti's acceptor and Yomogi's strong connection with kaiju.
hRZxBhU.png
Yomogi has an existiantial crisis about his world and the lives of everyone he knows and loves being a creation of Gridman...
lLXPggU.png
...To which Rikka, Utsumi and Yuta point out they are creations of a goddess called Akane Shinjo, and have even been called artificial creatures; the fact that they're artificial doesn't matter as they're still people with thoughts and feelings and lives. The Second says that humans are the only lifeform to believe in things that not only have no physical form, but may not even exist (feelings, relationships, myths, laws, national boundaries, etc).
ri6w0yS.jpg
The Second says that Yuta must perform the Access Flash with Gridman, but warns that for a normal human to perform the Access Flash with an infinite Gridman would mean loosing themselves.
SomalJ4.png
Yuta performs the Access Flash...and ends up in a dark void beyond the world he came from. He speaks to a enigmatic goddess, who takes the form of a live-action girl, who shows him the Gridman Universe; this is Gridman overlapped with the entire Universe (which contains not just one but many universes), and he's fragile in this form and about to break apart. He still makes the form of the Universe into his own form, as an SOS signal. Yuta must save Gridman before he breaks apart.
r50hgFh.jpg
This mysterious figure is none other than Akane Shinjo in the real world, who after sending Yuta on his way, performs an Instance Domination to control Alexis Kerib (who's been kept prisoner by Gridman for his crimes). This means that Akane still has powers even in the real world.
ujNx2Mo.jpg
Akane pilots the now-heroic Alexis Kerib, who flies along the length of the Gridman Universe in seconds (which contains multiple universe and is described as being infinite).
9JKHMuF.gif

At last we discover the sinister force behind everything; Mad Origin, an entity in the form of a kaiju collective created from all the kaiju created by human emotions across the Multiverse (to which Akane admits some fault in that part); the Mad Origin may not even be truly conscious, just a replica of human emotions.
Sk55rJm.jpg
Mad Origin seeks to use Gridman to destablize the cosmos by trapping it in Gridman's form, which would lead to the destruction of everything.
dIMgVPS.png
Alexis Kerib shatters the Mad Origin's red bubble, which after Yuta's own actions to free Gridman's consciousness, frees both Gridman and the Universe (the red sphere around Mad Origin is big enough to be seen next to Gridman Universe, and even its shards are visible). Both Gridman and Mad Origin end up back in space and back on Earth (after Gridman blasts Mad Origin there).

Alexis Kerib is being controlled by Akane Shinjo from another dimension.
QWGJCqd.png
Struggling against Mad Origin, Alexis Kerib uses Instance Abreation to materialize the universe(s) inside Gridman's head, restoring the Dynazenon cast, who come to Gridman's aid.
C959WXW.gif

During the fight, Mad Origin is able to predict all of Gridmans moves as he knows all of Gridmans move (from the perspective of the kaiju).
ROZonUQ.png
Mad Origin merges with Alexis Kerib by eating him, and Gridman, Dynazenon & Knight defeat Mad Origin by combining destructive and healing power (Alexis Kerib may or may not be permanently dead). Everyone then goes to their own universe, and Yuta finally asks Rikka out.

Retroactively, this would confirm that Computer Worlds are infact universes (at minimum), so Gridman destroying Khan Digifer and surviving Takeshi's computer world being destroyed is a universal feat (at least; Khan Digifer also took over all the computers worlds on Earth so it's potentially multiversal. I'm not sure if the real world is a part of Gridman Universe or not (there's a line from Alexis which implies Akane's world is beyond even the Gridman Universe, as he refers to her returning to 'this world' even when they're in the white void outside Gridman Universe (also on this note, when Takeshi's computer world was destroyed in Hyper Agent Gridman, all that was left behind was a white void).

I will of course watch this movie again (when it comes out officially in Western cinemas, and when a HD version becomes available). There's a lot of Gridman supplimentary materials to check over too, so I'll have to look over and clarify a lot of what happened in this movie and previous Gridman Universe installments.

Now that I've finally seen Gridman Universe, let's check out the novelization! All of these translations are done with a machine, which should get the jist across, but may need some further human analysis...
The introduction to the Multiverse, which has Rikka think of how the universe is composed of countless stars and galaxies (further evidence that Computer Worlds are universes). It goes on to say that there are potentially infinite worlds in the Multiverse, and these worlds may have always existed seperately or branched out from a single point (such as a Big Bang).
tBhRwnD.jpg
(Relevant text)
p0MEkTk.jpg
"That's it! It's the Multiverse!"
"?"
Yuta doesn't really understand even if he grabs his shoulder and shakes him.
"In other words, there is not one universe but many."
"How many universes?"
However, Rikka knew that there were many units of stars and galaxies in the universe, but it was said that there where multiple units of the universe, as expected, she would tilt her head.
Still holding onto Yuta's shoulder, Utsumi looked back at Rikka with a triumphant look.
"Recent series is common sense~?"

Multiverse.
Parallel worlds - Possible worlds - There are many names, but the essence is almost the same.
The theory that there are an infinite number of similar worlds, or universes, is the theory of the multiverse.
They may have originally existed seperately from the beginning, or it may have been born from a branching world triggered by an accidental event.
Even Utsumi's favourite tokusastu would sometimes depict the development of heroes in different universes who gather across universes to deal with some situation.
No way such a fictional phenomenon is the world we live in...What happens in space is Utsumi...
Gridman Universe is all of the universes created by Gridman, and the ability to create may be something Gridman learned from humans.
37dA75O.jpg
(Relevant text)
IZfEqYX.jpg
However, even if they didn't say it now, Rikka knew that Yume and the others came from another world, and it wdidn't seem to answer. The girl continued talking.
"Yes. Many universes created by Gridman - 'Gridman Universe' is the cause."
"Gridman Universe?"
Utsumi ruminates with a dubious look. Rikka also follows the question.
"A universe created by Gridman?"
"Gridman is a formless creature from the beginning. Gridman's appearence was created by humans. It wouldn't be strange if Gridman himself gained the power to create by interacting with humans."
"Can Gridman can create the Universe...?"
Rikka was lost for words at the sheer scale of what the girl is saying.
"Is it ok to do that?"
Gridman was stripped of consciousness, which caused him to engulf the entire universe and start overlapping other universes, forcing the Multiverse itself to coalesce. By defeating Gridman's consciousness in Rikka and Utsumi's universe, they were able to seperate it from the Gridman Universe.
g6tSvPO.jpg
(Relevant text)
FqeE54u.jpg
"What I defeated was Gridman's consciousness in this universe."
"Other universes created by Gridman were also gathered in this city. In other words, the Multiverse overlapped due to Gridman's expansion of the coalescence ability, rather than the dimensional Big Crunch."
The monster girl continues to reason, and then Anti continues.
"By forcibly shutting down Gridman's consciousness, they disappeared. I guess this city was reset to what it should be."
Their story is so difficult that I can only understand it vaguely, but Rikka and Utsumi also tried to interpret it in their own way. Big Crunch is the hypothesis of the end of the Universe phenomenon caused by the Universe itself.
Until now, they thought that something strange had happened to their universe, and that it was affecting them, including Gridman.
Actually, it was the other way around. Gridman himself eroded the Universe itself, and even other universes - It means that the Multiverse was also forced to coalesce.
Just like Borr and Gridman combine to become Full-Power Gridman, Gridman, who has turned into the Universe itself, forcibly coalesces with other universes, occuring in the world where Yuta and the others are. This is the current situation.
Anti- When Grid Knight defeated Gridman's "consciousness," the connection with other universes was broken, just like the exhausted Full-Power Gridman was forcibly uncombined.
As Yomogi starts having an existiential crisis about his world, everyone he cares about and himself being creations of Gridman, Rikka and Utsumi tell him that they are artificial lifeforms created by a goddess called Akane Shinjo. However, the fact that they're artificial doesn't matter, as their lives, experiences and emotions are real. Anosillus the Second goes on to say that humans have the power to make fiction a reality, and gives the example of how someone getting invested in a TV show (such as Utsumi with Ultraman), would make that work of fiction real temporarily. She then goes on to say that it's possible for an author who thinks their real may actually be fictional and given that role in a story, or a story that is considered fictional may actually be it's own universe as big as the ones the people watching it consider real. This is in addition to there being Computer Worlds and artificial lifeforms in these worlds, and how life is life, regardless of whether it's real, artificial or fictional. This would imply that there are different universes not only within computers, but also works of fiction. I wonder how far up and down this goes?
pvoGZeu.jpg
(Relevant text)
TPhRUZ7.jpg
"But the fact that the dream buds have disappeared...means that the world we were in was all born from Gridman. We are..."
Hiding his eyes, which had become turbulent and sharp, under an umbrella, Yomogi expressed his unease.
We are inhabitants of the universe created by Gridman. A being created by Gridman.
A fairy tale. There is no other way you can accept such a fairy tale reality all of a sudden.
While everyone was silent, Yuta smiled as if to comfort him. "It's the same for us."
"......?"
Yuta explains the outline of their world to the bewildered Yomogi.
"Shinjo: It seems that our world was originally created by a god named Akane Shinjo."
"Eh...did you swallow that?"
When Yomogi asked embarrassedly, Rikka shrugged her shoulders while blowing lightly.
lw9tnQA.jpg
"I still don't understand? I've been told that I'm an artificial person."
"It doesn't matter, even if it's fake."
Utsumi asserts as if he's blown away. He and Rikka lived in this city created by the gods without any change even after learning the truth.
Eat, go to school, play with friends, take a bath, sleep, and wake up in the morning.
Since I am living as a human without any problems, there is nothing to swallow my roots now."
The very fact that they thought so their strength.
"That's right. You don't just believe in facts. Gossip, myths, connections between nations and people, etc. - You like believing in things that have no form, right? You expand the community with the power to believe in fiction, and continued to evolve on this planet..."
Hearing the monster girl's profound speech, Yuta is taken aback.
"Utsumi cried watching the hero show, and I cried when I saw the drama club stage, the fictional story was unmistakable reality for us."
"You are the only life forms that can believe in fiction."
The monster girl smiled with a gentle voice that made her envious.
Humans believe fiction, and believe the world out there.
For example, suppose a person is watching a TV drama at home.
The drama that humans perceive as a fictional creation may actually be a universe that is as large as the world of humans who consider themselves to be real inhabitants.
Conversely, a write who thinks he is writing a novel in reality may actually be a fictitious character who has been given the role of a novelist in a certain creative work.
Alternatively, a completely different world may live in the electronic device called a personal computer. There may be as many of them as there are machines in the world.
In all those worlds, there are living beings.
Even if it is a fictional life, it lives like a real existence. There is joy and sorrow, there is joy and pain.
Knowing that - The girl of god was crushed by a sense of guilt and broke her heart once.
"...I don't really know where the universe came from, or whether it's made-up..I think I've decided what I'm going to do."
Rikka smiled and agreed with Yomogi, who had decided what to do even though she wasn't satisfied with everything."Then, come with us."
It's not about facing something grand with heroic aspirations. Just do what you decide to do...
All versions of Gridman are canon in their own world in the Gridman Universe (all of the spinoff novels and manga, and from the sounds of it possibly even the crossover games, as I see references to robot fights and apps).
5SY1shG.jpg
"No. I just want to help my friends, including you-"
With a gentle voice, like an ordinary girl chatting with her friends,she quietly disappeared.
Once again, in a space closed in silence and darkness, Yuta's body is suddenly enveloped in a feeling of falling.
The girl...Akane Shinjo showed me the way.
With his determined eyes reflected the swirl of the great galaxy, and Yuta once again sets out on an endless journey.
Gridman's battle at Azalea stand and the days of the Gridman Alliance. And there was a world that could be called a mirror of the story of God.
Another god born when the god girl's mind began to loose its balance. There was a world in which the Gridman Alliance fought bravely in the repeated time, and the encounter and farewell with another god.
There was a world of armoured girls who were entrusted with one of the trail katana swords held by Samurai Calibur.
There was a world of warm diaries that wrote down the unique daily lives of junior high school students of the new century.
There was a world where Gridman fought bravely during the Warring States period, when disease that turned humans into monsters were rampants.
There was a world where Rikka, who was taken into an app game by the power of a monster, spent time with four butlers.
Before merging with Gridman. There was a story about Vitt, who ended up living with an idol girl by chance, and a world in which Borr had an adventure in a country where humans and demons continue to fight.
A new Gridman was born from the thoughts of an Earth Defence Force girl with a strong sense of justice. There was a world of anecdotes related to silver armour.
A monster created by a man who was not chosen and a girl who wanted a hero to summon a hero. There was a world of mission and salvation that disappeared in the flow of time.
There was a world full of fighting spirit where Dynazenon and Gridknights self-training got caught up in chaos.
An endless world of monsters created by the emotions of people fascinated by the battles of giant robots. There was a fantasy chronicle unfolded by Dynazenon and Gauma Corps.
There are countless other Gridman stories floating around in space. The world of Dynazenon created by Gridman...The many stories spread out into the universe myself.
A world created by Gridman that I don't know about. The Story of Gridman -
Somewhere in the myriad overlapping universes of this vast Gridman Universe, Gridman awaits him.
Akane's world exists outside the Gridman Universe.

According to the MEGAMI MAGAZINE 2023 April issue, the event of "Gridman Universe" is a multiverse collapse crisis, indicating that the entire Gridman Universe (infinity univers created by Gridman) had overlap together and is united and reshaped by the Gridman.
In the animate itself, it is only stated that plural universes or dimensions is overlap together.

Also, in the Uchusen magazine "Gridman Universe special issue, in the interview of Keiichi Hasegawa page, he stated that all those universes created by Gridman is parallel and is born out of Gridman's memory.

I would like to insert the whole scan, yet can not figure out how to do that. And when I try to attache them, I found out “The uploaded file is too large”.

Also from Uchusen magazine Gridman Universe special issue, in the description of Gridman's Universe Fighter form, it is states that Gridman's various abilities have improved significantly compared to before (I don't know whether this description could applied to the state when Gridman is united with Gridman Universe (infinity universes))

Nice! I hope to look into Gridman Universe Starship myself (the word 'multiverse' is used at least twice in the movie).

As for uploading, I would suggest uploading the images to a image hosting site (such as Imgur or another equivilant), and then posting them here (or wherever it is you wish to post them).

If you want, I could upload it into MEGA and share it

As for the mentioning of "multiverse" in the movie, despite characters mentioned once or twice, but I think they never recognize the whole multiverse or infinity universes is overlap or united by Gridman. When speaking of universes overlapping, they only said multiple universes.

Sure!

As in it references infinite universes? I recall one statement in the movie that said Gridman Universe was an infinite being, so Yuta as a normal human would loose himself. The novelization also refers to the Multiverse as potentially being infinite. My own copy of Gridman Universe Starship has arrived, so I'll look through that (and hopefully have some more to find from it).

This should come in handy. Thanks! :TrgJustice:

As for the statement of Gridman Universe was an infinite, I am thinking that there may be the possibility of single universe being also infinity, therefore it would be best if there are direct statement of Gridman Universe being multiverse itself or contain infinity universes.

During the commotion, Yuta learns that the college student who was suspected of being Rikka's boyfriend is her older brother. Yuta is relieved, but a ghost-like shadow appears in front of him again, ruining his mood for confession.

The form in which Mad Origin absorbs Alexis Kerib, gains infinite life, and is revived. When it constituent materials deteriorated due to the simultaneous attack of the powerful Gridbeam Hyper Fixer Beam spewed from its mouth, it was crushed by Gridman and destroyed. Its weapon is Full Power Grid Rex Roar.
Gridman the Universe Fighter is Gridman's mew form after being rescued from being Gridman Universe. He dragged Mad Origin into the world from outside for the final battle, and possesses both regenerative and destructive abilities.

Gridman (Universe Fighter)
GRIDMAN [Universe Fighter] CV: Hikaru Midorikawa
Gridman, who was about to collapse the universe that made up himself because Mad Origin took advantage of his debt of having taken away Yuta's memories, even if it was temporary, is trying to overcome Akane's power, Yuta's feelings, and everyone's feelings. A new appearance brought to life through imagination. The exterior is based on a Gridman drawn by Yuta and his friends, and he drags Mad Origin, the culprit behind everything, from "outside the world" to Azalea for the final battle. He has both the power of destruction and regeneration, and when its power is activated, the lines on his entire body glow in rainbow colours. His abilities have also become more powerful than before, and the Gridbeam he fires from his left arm can damage monsters and repair the destroyed world at the same time. He can combine with Dynazenon and Big Goldburn to become Rogue Kaizer Gridman, and can also be combined with Big Goldburn alone.
There are many worlds that were created by Gridman, including the world of SSSS.Dynazenon, which also includes all the manga and novels; though the writers and staff had debates about if it was ok that Yomogi and his friends and story came from a world invented by Gridman.

The previous plot, in which new guests played a large role, shifted towards the finished product, and Mr. Amemiya came up with the big mysteries. The idea is that the worlds depicted in novels and manga, including the various worlds "SSSS.Dynazenon," are born from Gridman's memories of becoming one with the universe, and that they all exist in parallel. As they merged, the members of SSSS.Dynazenon appear on the Azalea. However, there was also a debate about whether it was really ok. Is it ok to say that the story of Yogi and the others was all a made-up world? And SSSS.Dynazenon did not mention the origin of the world, so I think it would be a big shock for viewers who came from there.
Tetsu Inada, the voice of Alexis Kerib, states that Akira Amemiya has a secret image of Alexis Kerib as Chief Overjustice from Space Patrol Luluco (it's important to note that Tetsu Inada voices both characters). Also, this idea was originally Amemiyas.

As for the backstory, director Amemiya seems to have a secret image of the character Alexis Kerib as the end of the Overjustice Headquarters in the work that director Amemiya directed called "Space Patrol Luluco." He is said to have arrived after wandering alone for thousands or tens of thousands of years. So, I think I received the Fixer Beam in the final episode of SSSS.Gridman and returned to being the head of Overjustice (lol). In the first movie, when Akane used Instance Domination, I added a voice that sounded like Ultraman's, saying "Shah!", but during the test, I shouted "Justice!" as loud as I could. If you have to decide whether it's good or bad, it's not (lol).
There's a lot more in there (such as several uses of the word 'multiverse'), so as always I'm always happy to go back and see what other secrets it has to reveal!
