Although I've been reading for a few months now, thought I'd chime in that I got a friend hooked on this LP recently too. As a result I've been bombarded with 'bears per minute' jokes every time I've seen her since then.

I'm a fan of "Ohboyohboyohboyohboy BATH TIME!" myself.

I happen to think the Iris one isn't so much sexual as it is, well, adorable. Seriously, just because it's a Sailor uniform doesn't mean it's meant to be viewed sexually!

Oh, and the Sumire/Kanna hybrid is absolutely awesome, I'll have you know :colbert:

To the gym! True strength comes from self-discipline, and only with continual training will Ogami be able to triumph over the forces of darkness and-



... well, okay, so Ogami's work ethic could use some tweaking.

I suppose the man's entitled to a break. Three weeks of truncated training montage posing would take the sheen off of ANYONE'S enthusiasm.



... with the exception of Kanna.

[Ogami]

You're really fired up, Kanna. Working out right after coming home?


[Kanna]

Yeah, well... it's 'cause I thought back to our last battle. Complacency's our greatest enemy, ain't it?


----
[Ogami]

... I dunno, I'm pretty sure we're our own greatest enemy.

[Kanna]

Yeah, it's not like Satan and his Merry Friends are really puttin' up much of a fight.

[Ogami]

Wait, is that seriously what they're calling themselves?

[Kanna]

Nah, but it's got more of a ring to it than The Villains Formerly Known As The Hive Of Darkness, right?

[Ogami]

... you've been making all these names up, haven't you, Kanna.

[Kanna]

Haha, yeah! How'd you know, Captain?

[Ogami]

I... lucky guess, Kanna. It's STILL an improvement over the Manager's "Those Stupid loving Bastards". I think.

----

[Ogami]

... yeah, that's true.
Come to think of it... you said you killed bears for training, but did you really...?


[Kanna]

... hey now, why would I lie about something like that!?
I really did take out bears. I put my life at risk... they were powerful opponents.


[Ogami]

I-I see... you're amazing, Kanna...


----
[Ogami]

I mean, you can say "those bears gave me a hard time" with a straight face.

[Kanna]

Hey now, it really wasn't easy, Captain.

[Ogami]

... huh?

[Kanna]

I mean... okay, there's time spent actually takin' down the bear, but then you've gotta keep re-lighting the bonfire 'cause it tends to go out when you're moving that fast, and then you gotta hope that you've got enough heat going to flash-cook the meat in record amounts of t-

[Ogami]

Kanna? What're you talking about?

[Kanna]

Ah, me and my old man had our own homebrew spin on BPS, which includes time taken to skin, prepare, and eat each bear that we-

[Ogami]

O-okay, so the number you gave me earlier, that 34.1 BPS- that was the normal system of counting, right? Not your homebrew BPS?

[Kanna]

Well, actually, my normal BPS would be something in the neighborhood of two thou-

[Ogami]

RIGHT then, I-I think I'm starting to get the general idea.

----

[Kanna]

Naw, you see, it's still nothing compared to my old man... he took down tigers.


[Ogami]

T-Tiger-killing...? That IS incredible.


Oh, boy, killing endangered animals for fun and profit!

... unless, of course, tigers HADN'T been endangered before Kanna's distant forefathers had started down the path of martial artistry.

[Kanna]

By the way, Captain. How'd your training turn out?




[Ogami]

Yeah, just leave it all to me.


[Kanna]

Well, that sounds promising!
We're all counting on you! Captain!


[Kanna]

Well, I'm heading back upstairs. Seeya, Captain.


Presumably to laugh at the prospect of being able to leave ANYTHING to Ogami.

... lately, I get the feeling that these conversations are getting to the level of banality you only really see in offices.

[Ogami]

Yeah... seeya.


Well, after tooling around for a bit...



... we bump into Kanna. Again.



[Ogami]

That looks good, Kanna.




[Ogami]

No... it's been a while since I've seen everyone, so I just wanted to talk.




[Kanna]

Whatever anyone else tells you, eating is the best way to grow stronger.
Eat everything without being picky about likes or dislikes. It sounds easy, but it's harder than any kinda training.




[Ogami]

Hmm, let's see...


... well, gee, I wonder how I'm supposed to answer THIS question. I mean, it's not like Kanna hasn't been throwing us BIG HONKIN' CLUES or anything of the sort, no sirree.



----
[Ogami]

...

[Ogami]

... brain? What the gently caress is with that third answer choice, brain?

[Ogami's Brain]

b@iNg! I'm an avocado, senorita!

[Ogami]

... right, right, I forgot. You checked out AGES ago.

----

[Ogami]

No, I'll eat just about anything. I've always been like that.


[Kanna]

Heh, that's really something! I figure that if you're gonna eat, you might as well eat something that tastes good.



----

----


... did Kanna just use that conversation as a way to deliver her soapbox speech on good eats?

Have... have we gone back in time to the era of 80's cartoons, where the ending is packed with references to healthy eating, anti-drug abuse, and copious amounts of merchandise advertising? "Kanna Kirishima's Frosted Ursine Chunks! Packed with an almost unBEARable amount of sugared protein!!"



Well, whatever the case, it's probably time to see the Manager!



... yeah, never mind the fact that he's coming back to report when he's just about finished with his rounds. Screw timeliness!

KNOCK.

[Ogami]

Ichiro Ogami, reporting for duty!


[Yoneda]

Oh, Ogami! Well now, c'mon in.


[Ogami]

Yessir! Please pardon the intrusion.



----


[Ogami]

Manager Yoneda...




[Ogami]

How is everyone in the Flower Division doing?


Yeah, forget the fact that we just saw them all over the past hour or so. Ogami needs positive reinforcement, dammit! He might finally get the Manager to say something that won't directly or indirectly chip away at his increasingly fragile ego and/or state of mind!

[Yoneda]

Oh hoh... so you HAVE been worrying over your brigade members, haven't you.
And... Maria in particular has been on your mind, hasn't she?


[Ogami]

M-Manager! Please don't tease me like that!


Or the Manager could scare the poor boy within an inch of his life, either way.

----
[Yoneda]

Well, it's true, ain't it? You'd just love to get Maria into those proverbial hot springs... if you know what I mean.

[Ogami]

... I don't, but I think I'm kind of starting to get the gist of it. B-but seriously, no, she'd kill me.

[Yoneda]

Ah HAH. Well, maybe she's playin' hard to get?

[Ogami]

N-No, that'd either involve some form of submission-based CQC, grenades rolled under my door, or those crazy ice-maiden bullet things that she shoots out on a regular basis.

[Yoneda]

...

[Yoneda]

... if you know what I mean. Eh? Eh?

[Ogami]

*Sigh.* Y-Yes sir.

----

[Yoneda]

Well, that you've come home safely is the most important thing. Go drop in on everyone.
I'm gonna take a bit of a nap now, so you'd better not wake me up.


----
[Ogami]

... wait, you're. You're just going to take a nap?

[Yoneda]

A-yup!

[Ogami]

What about all your prior obligations? Or all that paperwork on your desk? You're not seriously just going to take a nap, like-

[Yoneda]

LIKE A BOSS!

[Ogami]

But it's just a nap!

Time to drop in on Ogami's favorite unrequited love interest-slash-secondary character!



To... all of three weeks ago.

... the boy's really got his own fair share of problems, doesn't he. :smith:

KNOCK.

[Ogami]

It's Ogami... Ayame-san, are you in?


[Ayame]

Ogami-kun? Come in, the door's unlocked.


[Ogami]

Please excuse me.




[Ogami]

Um... Ayame-san...


[Ayame]

Oh, right! Kohran invented something amazing while you were all out training.
She called it "Recording Tape." It can record people's voices.


... wow, uh... at this rate, Kohran's going to be single-handedly responsible for every single major technological breakthrough in the 20th century.

Giant killer robots that will be irresponsibly used? Check.
Audio tape? Check.
An express interest in designing jet-propelled aircraft? Check.
Frankenstein's cyborgian monster? ... check.

Seriously, what's she going to do NEXT? Nanomachine technology? Genetic engineering? Video phones!?

[Ogami]

Huh... that IS pretty interesting.


[Ayame]

Hey, how about we test it out? Come on... it will be fine, won't it?


----
[Ogami]

Wh- are you kidding me!? Why in the world would I want to test out something that probably has a INCENDIARY HUMAN SHREDDING MACHINE function hidden in its guts!?

[Ayame]

...

[Ogami]

And, uh, I, uh, p-please don't look at me like that, Ayame-san.

[Ayame]

Pretty please?

[Ogami]

I-I-I-I yes'm. You KNOW that you're striking a blow against women's rights, right?

----

[Ogami]

Ah... sure. W-What should I do?


[Ayame]

Let's see... why don't you try recording words that you like?


[Ogami]

Right...




... because if there's one thing that Ogami's come to excel at, it's repeating his own name in order to anchor his rapidly-depleting sanity to this cruel and bizarre reality.

[Ogami]

... testing, testing. I am Ichiro Ogami. Heheheh... somehow, I can't help but blush.


[Ayame]

Hmhmhm... that's true. Um, I am Ayame Fujieda. We are currently in the middle of testing this device.
Now then... shall we play it back?


[Tape]

........


[Ogami]

... huh?


[Ayame]

Oh my... I wonder if it's broken? I suppose it can't be helped. I'll get Kohran to fix it later.


----
[Ogami]

... holy poo poo, it didn't explode in a gout of flame.

[Ayame]

Hmhmhm... oh, Ogami-kun, did you really think something like that would happen?

[Ogami]

... yeah, I guess that IS pretty silly, even for one of Kohran's inventi-

[Ayame]

She expressly told me that the only possible side-effect would be our souls being ripped out through our mouths and trapped in the tape recorder for all eternity. But it's a good thing it didn't happen, right?

[Ogami]

...

[Ayame]

... oh, did I forget to tell you? I'm sorry, it must've slipped my mind.

[Ogami]

How can you remember each and every single time you've fired the Shogeimaru's cannon and forget to tell me about any potential risks to my immortal soul!?

----

[Ogami]

Let me hear the tape once it gets fixed. I kinda want to hear my own voice.


[Ayame]

I got it. I'll get it fixed quickly.


[Ogami]

Now then... I'll excuse myself here.




Right then, we've only got about three stops left, so let's use them wisely.



... wisely. I said to use them WISELY, dammit. :gonk:

[Sakura]

Ah... Ogami-san.


[Ogami]

... practicing on your own?




[Sakura]

It's been a while since I've been back, so I just thought I'd swing by to see the stage again, but...
When I stood up here, my body just started dancing on its own.


----
[Ogami]

Haha, oh man, I know how THAT feels! I mean, it's kind of like how my body moves towards the b-

[Ogami]

... er, no, wait, forget I said anything.

[Sakura]

Oh, don't worry, Ogami-san! My body's done plenty of embarrassing things on my own. Like the time my body went towards your room on its own-

[Ogami]

Yeah, your claw marks are still on the door.

[Sakura]

Or the other time my body went towards your room on its own-

[Ogami]

The doorknob's still crushed into the shape of your grip, I think.

[Sakura]

Or that OTHER time my body went towards your room on its own-

[Ogami]

I... I think I have the general idea of it now, Sakura-kun.

----



[Ogami]

Sakura-kun... you really love the stage, don't you.




[Sakura]

Now, I always look forward to taking the stage.


In a bloody coup, striking Sumire down from the leading lady role whenever possible



[Ogami]

...




[Ogami]

Right. I'll see you later.




Well, now that we've gotten the prerequisite Sakura scene over with, we can walk right into-



... the OTHER Sakura scene.



[Ogami]

Is she focusing her spirit? This atmosphere... this must be the result of Sakura-kun's special training...!


I don't think they ever describe what that sort of atmosphere would FEEL like.

... though I'd imagine that Sakura's psychic pressure would make people around her start feeling mysteriously attracted to Ogami.

[Ogami]

It might be a problem if I disturb her... I'll go somewhere else.




Right then, it's music room time.


----


[Ogami]

Eek! I-I'll pass.


... and that, folks, is the Ogami-Maria relationship in a nutshell.

Well, if there's one thing that anime and anime-based games AND mecha series are good for...

[Ogami]

... t-this is!?


[Yoneda]

The newest model of spirit armor, the "Jinbu"!


[Ogami]

Jinbu!!


You could probably loosely translate it as "God-Warrior."

... and I'm pretty sure that they used the same kanji that they used for Jimmu, the legendary founding emperor of Japan.

...

Y'know, maybe this is the first indication that the Flower Division is being given more power than they should reasonably be allowed to handle.

[Iris]

Ya~y! It's so cool~!


[Kanna]

How'd you guys manage to hide something so stylish!


[Yoneda]

It's not just a new replacement. Kohran... show them "that"!



----


[Yoneda]

Haha, hell if I know, it's some sorta weirdo thingamabob It's a device that will allow the spirit armor's power transmission to be boosted to its maximum!


[Maria]

Kohran... so, making this was...


[Sumire]

Kohran's special training was to build this device, wasn't it.

[Ogami]

... how long did it take you to make that thing?

[Kohran]

Five minutes!

[Ogami]

But they're not mutually exclusive concepts!!

[Ogami]

[Kohran]

You'd think so, but Kanna-han doesn't actually HAVE any weak points. Heck, th' only things that'd hurt her are her own fists.

[Ogami]

... wait, so that ridiculously cool and stylish face guard is only there to stop her from punching herself in the face?

[Kohran]

Yup! Tho' it'd probably crumple from a force like that.

Peacock feathers! It's a nice touch, ain't it?

Hey, on the plus side, she's totally gonna end up blindin' everyone on th' enemy side!

Well, poo poo, Ah guess I plum fergot 'bout that. Boy, is my face red!

So she won't be shoehorned into fighting with a sniper rifle, and will actually be able to capitalize on her superhuman skill at pistol-slinging, which she has down to a fine, blood-soaked art.

K-Kohran? Where are her legs?

Yeah, about that, it's kind of a funny story: Ah calculated that she'd be more effective without her legs, since she's always poppin' in an' out of reality, anyhow!

[Ogami]

... huh.

[Kohran]

'Course, all this probably means that she'll be evolvin' into some sorta uber-psychic brain being that'll shed her legs in exchange fer enough power t' outshine th' sun five hundred times over, but that ain't our problem!

[Ogami]

Welp, y'all can't ever run outta dakka.

In-combat deconstruction and/or pillaging of the enemy fer spare parts an' on-site study.

Picky, picky. A massive dose o' pain-killers an' assorted other stimulants oughtta keep ya good 'til we get back from th' fight.

I don't think they ever describe what that sort of atmosphere would FEEL like.

... though I'd imagine that Sakura's psychic pressure would make people around her start feeling mysteriously attracted to Ogami.

And here we find out why every character in Sakura Wars would fall for a man such as Ogami.

Great job Spirit Armor!

By God, the new mechs look awesome! I know it's a common trope, but drat! Are there any models of these mechs on sale (of course there are)? 'Cos I might actually buy them.

P/S: Is it too late to ask to see what happens had you told Kanna that you 'like manly women'? I think we dodged a bullet (howitzer shell?) on that one, but morbid curiosity bids me press on!

You are the best person ever.

Hey, you got a new title?

I'm assuming you meant VEGAS strip not VEGA strip.

Wow, it's been ages since an actual battle. I should probably say this once the battle actually starts.

It's pretty much official now, Kohran's upgraded her mech into a gargant. She's an ork.

Yeah, the sadist in me wants to see just how beat-down Ogami will get for saying that.

I knew it, little firebird's summoning ALWAYS works.

I think training has blown poor Ogami's fuses there. He likes to eat manly women?


Are those...gatling homing missile launchers?


Nice...crotch ornament.

My bet is that she's still a sniper, having traded a relatively undersized tank gun for a normally-scaled pistol.

Hahahaha... so, yeah, uh, I've been busy lately. This seems to be the case more and more of the time.

Still, I THINK I've adapted to my new brutal daily schedule, so there's a chance that the next update won't take YET ANOTHER MONTH. But don't quote me on that I even have the entire end of the chapter recorded already!


Adyen posted:

... well, it'd explain SO MUCH.

And, if it were true, you could probably knock a few more years off of the poor bastard's expected lifespan.

I know that models of the PS2-version KOUBU exist, but I don't know about the Jinbu. They DO look nice, though.

And about the Kanna scene, well... I'll be tossing up a few bonuses at the end of the chapter, since I just realized that I've completely left out the three theater girls, too. Tohoho.

Yes and yes. I'd been planning on the new title for a while- heck, it's just about the first time I've CHANGED my title/avatar set since... what, 2007? Wow, I've been at it for a while.

And yeah, thanks for catching that. Friends got me hooked on SFIV again, and ONE of them has been gushing about Vega. Forever. FOREVER.


King Doom posted:

Not quite. All that's left is to combine it with Kanna's mech, I think.


veekie posted:

To be fair? They ALL have that.

... and looking at the rungs, I think it's used as a ladder thing to climb up into the cockpit.

Make of that what you will.

Awesome update SA! Good to finally see everyone (read: Ohgami) getting back into HOT BLOOD mode. Wonder if the flight mechanics add any new dimensions to gameplay? Anywho.. at least the game is finally progressing :3:

and then i remembered that we're getting ever closer to Ayame dying :ohdear: :argh:
