I sure as hell want and explosive death over a slow mental corruption by a young child, having every bone in my body broken by a chick who is manlier than me, being shot 7000 times, being smothered to death by a stalker, or....hmm...well I can't think of anything for Sumire. That's why she's my second place I guess  oh wait. money is the root of all evil. so, yeah. evil.

To everyone commenting on Sumire's vast tracts of land - KANNA HAS BIGGER BOOBS! (This is a Kanna vote.) And if you are talking about Sumire's inheritance from her family? Well, money isn't everything.

I bet the only reason they look bigger than Sumire's is because she's got enormous pectoral muscles behind them. A vote for Kanna is a vote for a thin layer of delicious squishiness padding her enormous man-muscles. Sumire, on the other hand...

I'm... kinda disappointed by the last update. I thought that you were going to have Mecha Oogami go though the alternate story path with Iris. While Oogami stayed at the theater, the robot would do everything that happens with the "date Iris" option. But Kohran's patchwork-repaired machinery would explode during the movie, destroying the movie theater, after which Iris would run off. Then the After that last update, this doesn't seem like a possiblity. Or maybe I'm just speaking too early?

(About forty or so minutes ago...) [Iris]  Wakey wakey, Oniichan. [???]  Urgh... huh?  [Iris] Ahahahahaha...!! How does it feel, Oniichan!? How does it feel to have your mortal spirit bound to this mechanical puppet?? [???]  ... huh? [Iris] Iris will not be denied her date... and after the sacrifice of exactly one thousand human souls as per the Twelfth Blood Ritual of She Who Masticates a Thousand Sacrificed Shrieking Souls-- [???] Iris?! You're alive!? [Iris]  Huh? [???] I thought you died when Sakura went on her insane rampage! [Iris]  ... Iris thinks that she may have taken Oniichan's soul from the wrong dimension. [Another Ogami] What, more of this cliched parallel dimension crap? Can't you just let me be dead in peace? [Iris] But I bound your soul to a mechanical-- [Another Ogami]  Aaaah, bite my shiny metal--  [Another Ogami]  -- ARM? WHAT THE gently caress HAPPENED TO MY ARM!? [Iris]  I told you! I tore your soul out and put it in a robot! [Another Ogami] WHY did you relocate my soul into a ROBOT!? DID YOU NEED TO PIERCE THE HEAVENS WITH SOMEONE'S DRILL!? [Iris]  Something like that! Actually it was meant as revenge on Oniichan, who didn't want to go on a date with me and tried to send me out with a robot instead. I guess this Oniichan is as good as any, so let's hurry up and go on that date!! [Another Ogami] What-- I-- oh god it's July 5th IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHY GOD WHY DID YOU HAVE TO RELOCATE MY DECEASED SOUL THREE DIMENSIONS OVER ON YOUR BIRTHDAY!? [Iris] Because I wanted to~! And now I have an Oniichan all to myself! [Another Ogami] ... this is purgatory, isn't it. [Iris] THERE ARE WORSE THINGS THAT PURGATORY. FOR INSTANCE, THERE IS NON-EXISTENCE. NOW GET OVER HERE. [Another Ogami]  Yes'm. ----  [Iris] Hey, hey, Oniichan. Where will you be taking me?  [Another Ogami]  How about going to see a movie at Asakusa?  [Another Ogami] Oh... you wanted to go to Asakusa? [Iris] Yep. Kohran said she'd gone to Asakusa a lot while she was staying at the Flower Mansion. [Iris] She said there are all kinds of shops, and that it was really interesting. So let's go to Asakusa! [Another Ogami]  Got it. Then let's go to Asakusa. [Iris] Yes! Let's hurry up and go! ---- [Another Ogami]  As if I have any choice but to act out this horrible little drama. [Iris] Of COURSE you have a choice-- [Another Ogami] ASIDE from "do this thing or loving die." ----  ---- [Iris] So how did you die so quickly, Oniichan? [Another Ogami] ... you know, MOST people would ask someone from a parallel dimension things like "so what's your world like" or "what's different over there," not "har har, you died." [Iris] C'mooon, I'm curious! [Another Ogami] Fine, fine. Well, lessee... Once upon a time, in a parallel dimension a little to the left of this current universe, there lived a dumbass named Ichiro Ogami. Ogami eventually fell in love with this girl that he knew. To be sure, she was certainly cute, but she was also kind and caring, and she was gifted an iron will. That she was skilled in swordplay was merely icing on the cake. Above all, however, this girl loved him back. Her name was Sakura.  Despite the instability of their own world, wracked as it was by countless demonic assaults, Ogami and Sakura were able to overcome virtually any obstacle that was thrown at them. Through all of these trials, the bond between Ogami and Sakura only grew more powerful, and their affection for each other remained stronger than ever. Gradually, however, Ogami found himself unable to keep up. Sakura adored him, and Ogami loved her dearly. But no matter what Ogami said or did, he could not seem to reassure Sakura that this was so.  Sakura started getting agitated whenever Ogami so much as spoke with other women. Sakura started getting frustrated whenever Ogami did not understand why she was upset. Sakura started to demand more and more of Ogami's attention, that he stay by her side twenty-four-seven, becoming suspicious of any of Ogami's- or even her own- friends... And the two of them started to bicker, more and more frequently.  One quiet night, Ogami approached Sakura. "Sakura, you know that I love you." Yes, she replied. I love you too. "I know that. And you know that... but we can't keep doing this. I can't spend every waking moment with you, without even speaking with anyone else." To which Sakura said, Why not? "Because we have our duty to the Imperial Capital. And because... we have our duty to our friends as well." Sakura remained silent for a moment. ... you're right. Ogami... you're right. I can't keep asking this of you. I'm sorry. It's so easy. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you so much... Sakura drew her sword.  ... that I can't share you with anybody else... And the Ichiro Ogami of this world knew no more. [Another Ogami] ... and that's about when my soul was ripped out of my dead body, hurled about three paces to the left, and stuck inside what amounts to a walking time bomb. [Iris] But isn't it great being alive again, Another Oniichan? [Another Ogami]  Are you kidding me!? I was dead and loving it, instead of being torn apart twenty-four-seven by my insane girlfriend and my sadistic co-workers! [Another Ogami] ... look, can't I talk go talk with THIS universe's Ichiro Ogami and tell him not to hook up with Sakura? Or at least give him a good kick in the balls for pissing you off so much that you'd kill a thousand souls to try and bind his spirit to a Kohran-bot? [Iris] Don't worry, Another Oniichan, he gets kicked there pretty much every day, anyways. [Another Ogami] Yeah... yeah, I guess some things just won't change, huh. ---  ----  [Another Ogami] In that case... I wonder where we should go. ---- [Iris] Way to take the initiative, Oniichan. [Another Ogami] Look, I'm a little bit rusty, okay? I've been dead for a while. [Iris] Tee-hee! Should we go buy some oil? [Another Ogami] You know PERFECTLY well what I meant. And stop trying to seem ingratiatingly cute and innocent- I AM Ichiro Ogami, after all, and I know what you really are. [Iris] Tsk. ----  [Another Ogami] Well then, let's go walk in the park. [Iris] Yes! Let's go, let's go!  ----  [Another Ogami] What's up? [Iris]  You know, Iris wants to walk with Oniichan like we're a pair of lovers. [Another Ogami] (Like a pair of lovers......)   [Another Ogami]  In that case, let's walk arm in arm. [Iris] Eh!? Really? Eheheh... my heart's starting to beat really fast. [Another Ogami] Ah... but Iris, your hands... can't reach that high, huh...  ---- [Another Ogami] ... because you're a MIDGET! HAW HAW! [Iris]  Dammit, Oniichan... ----  [Another Ogami] Aah, of course. We can walk arm in arm once you grow just a little bit bigger, Iris. [Iris] Iris wants to hurry up and become a grown-up, so that I can walk arm in arm with you... ---- [Another Ogami] Aaaand until then, you're too short. [Iris] Oniichan, that's-- [Another Ogami] Hey, Iris! What's the difference between an elephant and a monkey? [Iris]  Wh-what? I don't-- [Another Ogami] YOU'RE A MIDGET! [Iris]  STOP IIIIIIT!! [Another Ogami] Hey, hey, look, if I do THIS--  [Another Ogami] You can't even reach over and hit me! [Iris] AAAARGH!! [Another Ogami] Ha ha ha... oh wow, NOW I remember why being alive was so awesome. ---- [Another Ogami] Iris, let's rest here for a little while. [Iris] Yes, okay. But Oniichan, don't let go of my hand, okay? [Another Ogami] Yes, yes.  [Another Ogami] What's up? [Iris] How old... do you think Iris has become today?  [Another Ogami] Ummm... eight years old, I think?  [Iris]  Iris became ten years old today! I won't be a child forever! ---- [Another Ogami] ... oh, really now? [Iris] Yes!  [Another Ogami] Too bad, this is what you look like about five years from now. [Iris] ... [Iris] AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!! ---- [Another Ogami] S, sorry... [Another Ogami] ... that was my bad. I'm sorry, Iris.  ----  ----  [Another Ogami] In that case, let's go buy something.  [Another Ogami] Eek!? W, wait, Iris. I won't be able to buy anything like jewelry! [Iris] That's alright, hurry, hurry! ---- [Another Ogami] I, uh, I think left my wallet in my other body. Sorry, no can do. [Iris] How about if we just compromise and ask them to send the bill to your house, forcing this world's Oniichan to pay for everything? [Another Ogami] APPROVED! Buy anything you want! [Iris] Yaaaaay! ----  [Shopkeeper]  Hey, mister and missus, welcome. Well, browse at your own leisure. [Another Ogami] Oh... it's just an accessories shop. I thought it would be an actual jewelry shop... [Shopkeeper] Hey, mister... how about buying something to give to the young lady here? [Iris] Yaaaaay, do it, do it! [Shopkeeper] Wow, you really look like you're getting along well. Is she your little sister? ---- [Another Ogami] (... I don't think he'd believe me even if I DID tell him the truth.) ----  [Another Ogami] No, she's my daughter. [Iris] Oniichan! Why is Iris your daughter!? [Another Ogami] S, sorry. It was just a light joke. [Iris] Really! I've been waiting so long for this date, so don't go and say weird things! [Shopkeeper] 'Oniichan'... as I thought, that means you're brother and sister, right? But if it's like that, you don't look very much alike... [Iris] That's wrong! Oniichan is Iris's lover! [Shopkeeper] L, lover? [Another Ogami] I, Iris!? [Shopkeeper] L, lover!? Really? Then, why not buy something for your cute girlfriend! ---- [Shopkeeper] Aaaand I'll just let the both of you browse at your leisure while I call the cops real quick. [Another Ogami] Oh jesus. I think it's time to leave, Iris. ----  ----  ---- [Another Ogami] I don't want to get party vanned, Iris!! [Iris] Aaah, don't worry, Oniichan, I can mind-flay anyone who tries to arrest you! [Another Ogami] ... on one hand, I'm grateful for your help, but, y'know, I REALLY don't think I want to deal with homicide charges on TOP of the party van. ----  [Shopkeeper] I recommend these hairpins. How about wearing one in place of your ribbon, young lady?  [Another Ogami] ... Iris. Happy birthday. This is my present to you. [Iris] Oniichan, thank you! [Another Ogami] Do you like it? [Iris] Yup! Iris will keep this as her treasure! ---- [Another Ogami] Great. Awesome. NOW can we run like hell? [Iris] Iris really doesn't see what the fuss is all about. [Another Ogami] Look, just... just ask Maria about "underage b&" when you get back, okay? ---- [Iris] ... hey, Oniichan. Where should we go next?  [Ogami] Right. Let's try going to the movie theater.

 ----  [Another Ogami] It's a moving pictures house. I guess it's kind of like a rival to our own theater. [Iris] What are those? [Another Ogami] Hmmm... it's a place where pictures move, and tell stories similar to acting... I think? Right now, it seems that they're putting on something called... "The Find of the Century, The Rare Beast Appears!"  [Another Ogami] Yes, yes. Let's go inside, then.  [Iris] Hey, what kind of story will this be? [Another Ogami] I'm not too sure myself.

I can't believe I thought Kohran was crazy. It's refreshing, though, that a vote for Iris is a vote for insanity and destruction, regardless of the side-story. Spirit Armor, you are a wonderful human being. I swear, the first time I saw Kanna, I thought Ogami was going to have some competition. I mean, who else but a big manly man would be able to hold up something with one arm that our Ogami (with military training!) can't support using his entire body? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume she's a girl. However, in order to get that kind of strength, let's just say she probably shaves her face every morning and sports ambiguous junk.

...and why isn't anybody keeping an eye on the psychokinetic powerful enough to level entire buildings? Do they just not know? Or is Iris's Koubu being modified to damp _down_ her psyker powers because the standard model would result in Japan doing its post-Katamari Damacy impression?

Hahahahaha. It had occurred to me that Iris might have gone with the robot and teleported the head back, but I couldn't figure out why Iris would put it under the bed sheets, so I dismissed that possibility as too implausible. There... uh... still doesn't seem to be a reason for that, other than it's creepy and easy to write in. But you handled why the robot would acting the same as the real Oogami in a far better manner than I could have imagined.

Hey, Spirit Armor. I've had to delay sending the package because of tuition payments being really close to rent and grocery days, so I'll be mailing it tomorrow probably; I can assure you it will be disturbingly relevant. I'd better get some extra votes out of this  I'll allocate them all to Maria, of course. Steely-hearted Russians

That Iris update was awesome. Just out of curiosity, does the Japanese word that Iris uses for "lover" have the same pseudo-sexual connotation as the English word, or is it more "boyfriend and girlfriend"? If it's the former...I really have to wonder what the heck the story writers were thinking.

Having read through all twenty-some pages of the thread over the past few days, I've got to hand it to you, Spirit Armor. Absolutely wonderful. I own the first Sakura Wars OAV, and enjoyed it for its high production values and drat smooth animation, but I didn't really understand much of what was going on. I think I had it before I even knew it was based on a video game series; I just bought it in my 'yaaaay anime!' phase. I knew one thing, though. Kanna made me feel funny. I like athletic women. So I know that votes don't mean much right now, but I'm definitely in her camp.

No problem! I mean, I imagine that being able to eat and live takes precedence over you mailing me Ogami-Robo's head inna box.

I'm just assuming the end result was meant to be something like "oh look at Iris, she's so precocious, isn't that adorable."

And yeah, the early OAVs were really awesome. It's just too bad that they were meant to be seen as side-stories to the games... though you DO have to hand it to whoever wrote those little teaser summaries on the back of the VHS/DVD cases. They actually made it sound as if the Sakura Wars OAVs actually had coherent PLOTLINES.

I kind of see her use of the word as intended to be sort of "Iris learned this word but is not entirely sure what it means. She uses it anyway."

Holy crap, I have finally caught up with this! You are doing an AMAZING job, Spirit Armor. I, like many people, have heard of Sakura Taisen and heard some of the music, but that was about it. Thank you for translating this so we can learn more about it! I kind of see Iris using the word 'lover' very literally, like "someone who loves me." It doesn't necessarily have a sexual connotation. I'm hoping this is right because that picture of Iris teaching Ogami to play the piano was ADORABLE and I don't want to feel dirty. I really like Sakura because I'm a sucker for one twoo wuvs so I'm voting for her.

No, the word she uses is definitely more like the version of the word "lover" that means "someone who has sex with me." I maintain that she's not supposed to really know what the word means, but since she spends all her time around adults, she never really learned the word for 'boyfriend' or whatever.

That's fair - without seeing the kanji (or, um, being able to read Japanese) I'm really just making stuff up. That makes a lot of sense without making me feel icky about thinking that platonically they're very sweet together.

I'd say it's a little worse that Ogami can say the same thing

In the english translation of the manga, Iris calls Ogami her "boyfriend" in the jewelry shop, but it seemed pretty clear to me that this was the editors trying to avoid any losing their jobs here in America. Because the shopkeeper's expression is definitely one of . And at the pain of saying what pretty much everyone else has said about that latest update: Oh my freakinholygeezapfaknsfipg!  And I really liked Another rear end in a top hat Ogami...he was free from his fear of death, so he was able to do all the things we would like to see Ogami do, where it not so hazardous to his health (holding Iris back with one If you went this far for this last scene, I can't wait to see what you have in store for when Iris fights with the Flower Division for the first time!
