Main Poster Unveiled!
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
The newly unveiled main poster captures a moment in which the film’s colorful cast of characters surrounding protagonist Kiichi Tsuchiya, played by Go Morita, gaze up at the night sky together.
Among them, Tsuchiya appears to stand slightly ahead of the others, accompanied by the words, “Is achieving your dream really that important?”
The poster also features the tagline, “A man tangled up in his dreams takes a step forward,” reflecting the characters’ emotions as they search for their way through the darkness while looking toward the future.

Official Trailer Unveiled!
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
Kiichi Tsuchiya has spent years working as an assistant to a legendary manga artist. Day after day, he quietly works on manuscripts while encouraging his fellow assistants as they race to meet each deadline.
At the same time, he never holds back his sarcasm. To a junior colleague who has finally made their debut as a manga artist, he remarks, “Are you really happy making your debut with something like this?” To a newly hired assistant, he says, “You are getting paid for this, right?” And to his estranged wife, he sneers, “You just want everyone to see what a devoted parent you are.”
He even leaves Ushioda, an editor whose passion fails to meet his standards, at a loss when he fiercely declares his love for manga: “I love manga so, so, so much that I’ve devoted my entire life to it.”
But when the long-running manga series he has worked on as an assistant for 17 years comes to an end, Tsuchiya suddenly finds himself at a crossroads. When a junior colleague asks, “What do you really want to draw?” he has no answer. His daughter asks him, “Does that mean dreams don’t come true?” while his wife urges him, “Then draw your own manga.” Tsuchiya begins to question what he truly wants.
Then Ushioda, determined to make a comeback of his own, approaches him with an unexpected proposition: “Would you like to create a manga together?”
Little by little, Tsuchiya’s long-complicated relationship with his dream begins to shift.
Even as he struggles with the question, “Is achieving your dream really that important?”, Tsuchiya finally takes a step forward. What kind of future awaits him on the other side?
With his remarkable yet understated performance, Go Morita brings Tsuchiya naturally to life—a man carrying feelings many of us recognize in ourselves: pride in his work, frustration over dreams that remain out of reach, and the excuses we make along the way.
The official trailer captures the world of The Potentials, a film that gently stands alongside those who go through each day wondering whether it is really okay to remain where they are.
