MOTHERFUCK, I've got to tell myself not to forget checking in once in a while. Shifting through 500+ posts of backdated replies and insanity is not good for your mental health.  Glad to see the trainwreck of love coming along! I estimate around two more character chapters before DECISION TIME.

It was certainly the most brutal battle that the Hive of Darkness had ever had to deal with, so... [Ogami] But... Kanna and Sumire-kun. You fought really well. The enemies are all defeated, we're closing in on Good End, and two of the Flower Division's fiercest rivals have managed to work together for once. Does everyone know what time it is now?  That's right! IT'S BONDING TIME!  [Kanna]  ... I mean, I wouldn't have been able to find that key on my own. Er... I've changed my opinion of you.  [Sumire]  And I believe that it is thanks to you, Kanna-san, that we were able to escape... so... you were very helpful. [Ogami] Yup, Sumire-kun's wisdom and Kanna's strength... the both of you together are invincible, huh.  [Kanna]  Dammit, you ALWAYS start pushing things too far when someone praises you!! What YOU have is just shameless craftiness!  [Ogami] B, both of you, knock it off! Even though you just started getting along... urk... my stomach's starting to hurt... FUN FACT: Between this and the manga, it's extraordinarily likely that Ogami is well on his way to developing a stomach ulcer due to stress. ... which really wouldn't be very surprising at all, given Ogami's everyday life with the Flower Division.  (No surprise here, Sakura's just itching for the chance to get her hands on Ogami.) [Sumire]  I shall be the one to treat the Ensign! Sakura-san, you stay back!! [Kanna]  What're you saying!? If anyone's gonna be doing it, it's me! Argh, Sakura, you're in the way!! [Sakura] Eh!? Er, um... kya--!   [Ogami] Th... thanks. But it seems like... you kind of sent Sakura-kun flying back there... [Sumire] It should be alright if you leave her be! More importantly, I shall treat the Ensign ve~ry thoroughly. WELL HEY if you really want to put your hands all over him to try and heal an internal stomach pain, then there're no complaints here.    [Sumire] If he were to be treated by someone as violent as Kanna-san, the number of wounds would simply increase. :icebu-- okay, she's got a point there.  [Sumire]  What did you say!? [Iris]  Aa~aah, they've gone back to being the usual Sumire and Kanna. [Maria] I guess it can't be helped. But it IS said that the better two people get along, the more they fight... [Kohran] So it could be that even though th' two of 'em act like this, they really get along pretty well, huh. [Sakura]  We've repelled the Hive of Darkness, so it's a "happily ever after!" isn't it? ... says Sakura, through a mouthful of GETTING PUNCHED BY KANNA AND SENT FLYING. [Ogami] Urgh... my stomach... ... he~y, someone, help me out here~... Meanwhile, Ogami writhes on the ground in mortal pain, totally ignored by his entire brigade. Happily ever after! . . .  [Satan]  Hmph, it will start very soon... those fools' little party... Happily ever after except for the foreboding shot of evil at work, which would be a helluva lot more foreboding if this screenshot didn't make Satan look so .-------- VIDEO LINK!Post-Chapter Cinematic Sequence.

I think everybody's combo attack is an orbital strike of love. It's just that when it happened with Maria, there was only one left. Miroku's schtick during her boss fight will be to take out her own Wakiji to power up before the Flower Division can, seeing what's happened so far.

Forgot to mention it in my previous post, but boss battle ended by Wedding Crasher Ion Cannon in one blow is awesome.

The next chapter is all about Kohran and her illicit affair with the Flower Division Koubu. All of them, perhaps at the same time.

I was reading up on the Hanagumi's real life counterpart, Takarazuka, and the parallels are pretty cool. Just like the Takarazuka Revue, the Imperial Floral Acting/Assault Troupe has a Hanagumi (Flower Troupe), Tsukigumi (Moon Troupe, their ninja recon/intelligence group), Yukigumi (Snow Troupe, their spiritualist group that shows up in some of the anime, with priests, mediums, etc.), and Hoshigumi (Star Troupe). Takarazuka also has a Soragumi (Cosmos Troupe), but that was added in 1998, after the release of the first couple of ST games, so it's not included in the imperial groups.
