@Shakhmoot Senpai- if it means anything, my guy says that whatever Date said may have been a misunderstanding. Apparently Wakabayashi was busy with a project at the time that question was asked, and so he was probably talking about that moment in time. And as far as Yamashita goes, he is apparently coming to the USA for an anime convention in the Spring, and so he may be available later when it comes time to animate the actual battle. I apologize if this contradicts the information you provided, but I'm just relaying the message.
