I love this LP. I love it so goddamned much.  Apparently Tenkai doesn't just hate Western influences, he also hates strategy and common sense. Be honest with us...Tenkai's nefarious schemes only go downhill from here don't they? Like a magical rabbit hole of suck?

Ha ha ha, no, Ratchet lost her poo poo sometime back in 1922 and it's been missing ever since. Just look at those leadership skills. (Spoilers for ST2 and STV and also Sakura Taisen: The Moving Picture, come to think of it.) I must admit that Lobelia is pretty choice; I just prefer Erica's brand of crazy. ...aaand we should stop this now before Spirit Armor gets fed up and sends Iris, or something worse, after us.

It comes through better in the OAVs and manga as they don't have to worry so much about everyone having to be head-over-heels for Ohgami. She's basically the country bumpkin with a heart of gold. It's still pretty generic, sure, but IMO it's no more or less so than any of the other characters in the game.

Putting aside the notion of lightening actually somehow stealing a belly-button; of someone of Sakura's age still being frightened of such a thing and of that being a retarded thing to be mostly afraid of happening after being hit by lightening, it's always been a little  for me as to just why losing your belly-button is such a terrifying experience. It's not as if it has that much of a use and it's not as if losing it is going to disable you in any way, shape or form. Hell, if I got hit by lightening and that was the worst that happened, I'd consider myself incredibly lucky.Sakura really is batshit insane.

Well at least that makes sense! Most people don't like pain, ESPECIALLY when you're little. Not to mention those things could cause death if they got in the wrong area! "Augh, my eyes!" etc. Navel-theivery... what the hell? I mean, I'm not denying that getting struck by lightning would be painful (provided you survived somehow), but that doesn't seem to be the fear. Hell, she doesn't ever seem to mention "it would probably suck being hit by lightning", it's "lightning means some imaginary bandit is around stealing holes!!! WAUGH" It's just stupid and whoever thought that up is also stupid. (look how culture sensative I am guys look look)

---------- VIDEO ALERTPre-Tenkai shenanigans! GameVee Version! ---------- ---- [Ogami]  Alright, everyone, be careful. We don't know what's waiting for us on the other side of this door. [Ogami]  We could be subjected to anything from a second floor (complete with traps and more defenders) to a gauntlet of boss fights. I don't know. [Ogami]  But what I DO know is that Tenkai will NOT grant us entrance into his lair so easily. Above all else, we must remember that justice is on our side, and that-- [Maria]  Captain? [Ogami]  Yes, Maria? [Maria] I don't think we shall have to worry about any of that. ----  ---- [Maria]  Given that we have been FALLING for the past forty seconds. [Ogami] Yeah, I... I don't know what the gently caress, either. ----  ---- [Kanna]  Hey, I could check and see how deep this hole goes. All I gotta do is drop a coin and listen for when it hits the bottom, and math it out from there! [Kohran]  Don't think physics works like that. We're fallin', too. [Kanna]  Depends on how hard I throw the coin. [Kohran]  Hah. Yer on! I have jes' th' rocket-powered coin for this type of situa-- [Ogami]  We're there, guys. Remind me never to lock you guys alone in the same room. ----  Right, we're down to the next floor, after falling an unspecified distance!  [Ogami] Th-This is... Now, all we have to do is to wait for the next shoe to drop, and to see how many obstacles we have to brave before we can finally reach Tenkai and the ultimate boss batt--  ----  [Tenkai]  I must commend the fact that you have successfully struggled this far... quite impressive...! [Ogami] The leader of the Hive of Darkness, Tenkai...! ---- [Ogami] ... already!? [Tenkai]  What're YOU complaining about, you impudent rascal!? And yea, you have braved the most powerful Wakiji spawned from the depths of hell... [Kanna]  They were kinda underwhelming, if you ask me. I mean, they were just the same old cannon fodder, so-- [Tenkai] ... bypassed the fiendishly complex security systems that-- [Kohran]  -- even idiot child could solve, 'cause ya kinda forced all your most important machines t' be dependent on each other-- [Tenkai] ... and yea, you have arrived in record time! [Maria] We would have arrived even earlier, but our management is only marginally less incompetent than you are, and our field commander is an imbecile who is occasionally capable of amazing feats. [Tenkai] ... SILENCE!! ---- [Ogami] For the Imperial Capital... no, for all of the innocent people directly above us... [Ogami]  We shall take your life, here and now!!  Alright, I'll grant Tenkai one thing, and one thing alone:  ONE HUNDREEEEEED  YEEEEEAAAAAARS  TOO EARLY!! ... he can, of course, be as ridiculously dramatic as even the best of villains.   And while there is ALSO something to be said about someone who always unleashes his true power through a nice reasonable bout of immolation...  ----  ... none of that matters, since HE GOTS A GIANT ROBOT.  ----  ----  DEMON-DRIVEN MECHANICAL SOLDIER: AMATERASU  ---- [Tenkai] Gyaaaahahaha! Gaze upon the might of the Amaterasu and quiver in fear, Imperial Assault Force! I-- [Kohran] Normal. [Tenkai] ... huh? [Kanna] Yeah, it's kinda typical-lookin'. Is this it? [Ogami] It looks like you just cobbled together the remains of all the PREVIOUS boss 'bots to make your new one. [Tenkai] Wha-- no! It is representative of the might of Japa-- [Maria] No. No, it has the Peacock's robot breasts. The only thing represents is the fact that you are a very disturbed old man with bad judgment and horrible taste. [Tenkai] ... well, Amaterasu IS a goddess, so it'd stand to reason that the ROBOT version of her-- [Maria] I do NOT want to hear it. Captain? Do it. [Ogami] Y-Yes'm! ----  [Everyone] Understood! ---------- VIDEO ALERT!The final showdown: Half of the Flower Division VS The One Remaining Member of the Hive of Darkness! GameVee Version! ----------  ---- [Ogami] You boss ME around all the time, and you're LEARNING from me!? [Maria] Of course. How else will I learn to boss you around more efficiently? [Ogami]  C... can't argue with THAT. ----  ----  This battle's goals are simple enough:  In other words, tank 'n spank. So, there's the usual house-cleaning stuff.  Defend Maria, and  -- switch to the defensive MOUNTAIN strategy. And after THAT?  ----  All loving bets are off. Only one debuff really matters right now, so most of the crew, including Ogami, are going to be rolling out the punches.  And, yes, speaking of punches...  ---- [Kanna]  ... hmm. [Kanna] Hey, hey, look what I can do!! [Ogami]  Wha-- Kanna, what're you-- ----  Hop.  ---- [Ogami] ... Kanna, please stop jumping over the psychopathic demon lord's thirty-foot tall death machine. ----  ---- [Kanna] Hup! [Ogami] W-we're fighting for the sake of the Imperial Capital and possibly our reputations, so I'd appreciate it if you'd take this seriousl-- ----  ---- [Ogami] Seriously, Kanna, knock it off!

 (TEN MINUTES LATER...)  ----  Pain resumes. Tenkai... doesn't seem to have nearly as much HP as I initially thought.  And, apropos of nothing, a heartfelt conversation! [Kanna] If he got out to brighter places, I bet he'd have thought of more fun things to do. [Ogami]  Hahaha... that's a very Kanna-like way of thinking. [Kanna] But it's true, ain't it? If you properly keep your head up, there're lots of fun things to do. [Kanna] How you are is how you carry yourself. If you just wish for it, then any place'll become paradise. [Ogami] That's definitely true. Kanna, let's go create a paradise of our own! [Kanna] Yeah, definitely! I'll take you there myself... to a paradise on Earth!! ---- [Kanna] After all, you still owe me a no-holds barred cross-Okinawa swimming contest! [Ogami] Ha ha ha ha! [Ogami] ... yeah, I probably should've thought over my answer a little bit longer. [Kanna] Hey now, don't be like that! What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! [Ogami] And if it DOES kill me? [Kanna] Then you're just dead. [Ogami] Why on Earth did I expect any other answer? ----  Kohran's turn!  ----  And, possibly because her trust level is so high...  [Kohran] Ogami-han! [Ogami] Got it!!  ----  We get a nice little combination attack for our troubles!  ... in fact, this cycle repeats itself once. Suffice to say, Tenkai's starting to feel the hurt.  Heartfelt conversation number two! [Kohran]  You can go all out! Even if th' Koubu get completely wrecked here... I'm sure that's their long-cherished ambition!! [Ogami] Kohran... is that really fine with you? [Kohran] Aaah, don't sweat it. Th' Koubu were born into this world t' create peace. An' if they can accomplish that... even if they collapse during this battle, that's somethin' they can agree too. [Ogami] Got it... but we'll try to fight so that they don't end up wrecked. They're also our teammates, after all. [Kohran] Heheheh... thanks a bunch! After hearin' somethin' like that, I'm sure th' Koubu'll do their very best!! ---- [Ogami] See, that's what kind of worries me-- the assumption that the Koubu can hear every single word we're saying. [Ogami] Because that's a slippery slope right there. That's just one step away from knowing exactly what we're doing the moment we enter the Koubu, which assumes the presence of an entity that is capable of knowing. [Ogami] Which means that the Koubu are completely sentient, and are, even at this very moment, plotting our eventual downfall once our mutual enemy-- the demons-- are out of the picture. [Kohran] Tch. [Kohran] -- I mean, don'cha go sayin' such unlikely things, Ogami-han! That's jes' silly, ain't it? Ahahahaha! [Ogami] What was that 'tch' for? [Kohran] Welp, time t' go back t' the battle. [Ogami] K... Kohran...? ----  Maria, the MVP of the game!  ----  ----  ----  ... and for more reason than one, by which I mean--  -- "she can actually lower the enemy's attack." [Maria] We have managed to infiltrate most of the Hive of Darkness's base, but... we must not lower our guard here. [Ogami] Aah, I understand. That's because... we definitely cannot lose this fight!! [Maria] You are the second person I have ever called Captain... so please... Survive... to come back with us. [Ogami] Doesn't that go without saying? That's because we have a place to return to. [Maria]  Understood! Captain... I pledge my life to your cause!! ---- [Ogami] Y... yeah, not that I'm complaining or anything, but... why do you keep pledging your life to ME? [Maria] It is precisely because my life is in your hands that you had better continue doing what I tell you to do. [Maria] Because if I fall in battle, I swear by my Enfield that I will hold you responsible. [Ogami] But-- [Maria] And by pledging MY life, I am also pledging the lives of each and every member of the Flower Division because they are like family to me. This means that if anything happens to THEM, I will ALSO hold you responsible. [Ogami] B-- [Maria] Keep in mind, Captain, that when I say "hold you responsible," I mean that I will spend the remainder of my life hunting you down like the cur you are in order to exact my revenge upon you for failing at your duties as a leader. And your punishment will be brutal, if not straight-out inhumane, because another loss of my comrades will likely shatter my already-traumatized mind, leaving me unable to control the extent, the duration, or the degree of my unhinged wrath. [Maria] ... that said, I fully believe in your abilities to lead us to victory, Captain, so let us be off. [Ogami] 'es ma'am. ----  It's Tenkai's turn!  ----  ... the bloody dramatic bastard.  ----  And his... dramatic and yet potentially harmful final attack.  [Tenkai] Let me to show you...  ----  [Tenkai] The lowest level of hell!!  ----  [Tenkai] Rokusei Gougekijin!!  Beams!  Airstrikes!  Explosions!!  AND LOOK HOW MUCH DAMAGE IT--  -- well, okay, Maria was shielded, but--  LOOK AT THAT utter lack of damage or any sort of intimidating factor whatsoever.  And the remainder of Tenkai's attacks, while flashy and suitably last-boss-ish...  ----  ----  ----  ----  ... are kind of lacking. I love how the game is able to represent "getting bathed in hellfire" as a numerical value.  ----  Right, so--  [Ogami] THIS WILL BE--  ----  [Ogami] THE FINISHING BLOW!!  In addition to damage...  Ogami gets a ridiculous increase to his attack. I mean, put it all in perspective: Maria's debuff to enemies cuts their attack by 5, which basically renders 'em impotent.  A boost of TEN means that in just three hits, Ogami...  ... does as much damage as five hits. ---- [Maria] Captain? [Ogami] Yes? [Maria] You possess the ability to power yourself up? [Ogami] Y-Yes. [Maria]  And during the six months that you have been battling demonic forces, you did not think to use this insanely useful ability AT ALL!? [Ogami] I-I didn't know that I could do this thing! I just, you know, improvised, and one thing led to another, and-- [Kohran] -- th' next thing ya know, you remembered that this was somethin' that you coulda done right from th' outset-- [Ogami] Yes, exactl-- [Ogami] -- erk. ----  Kanna gets started with the fairly useful, though not strictly CRUCIAL, defense debuff...  ----  Kohran heals the negligible amount of damage that she took by stealin' Tenkai's HP (and the amount healed in this case is MORE THAN SHE ACTUALLY HAS)...  Maria simply re-applies the attack debuff...  And now, for a fun fact. With an attack buff and a defense debuff on Tenkai...  ... this is how much damage Ogami does.  ---- [Maria] ... [Maria] We will be having words when we return to base, Captain. Many, many words. [Ogami] ... yes'm. ----  And the rest, as they say...  ... was pure, unadulterated murder.

Spirit Armor posted:[Ogami] Yeah, what's the boss going to do about it? He deals the same piddly amount of damage as every other enemy in the game so far (though I'm not sure how much the attack debuff factors into that). Hopefully the second form's a bit more intimidating. Then again, given Tenkai's usual state of villainous incompetence, he might not even remember he has one.
