I remember checking out this thread when it first started. I skimmed it, but then for some reason decided to ignore it. Then, after seeing that it was still going, I thought I'd take another look.

I can't believe that I ignored this thread. The way you've been handling this game is freaking incredible. And, as a plus, the game itself isn't bad at all.

For a long time, I've been torn between voting for Kohran (BRAINS!) or Kanna (BRAWN!), but seeing as how so many people have been voting for Kanna, it seems that Kohran gets my vote (for now).

Okay, this update just might be one of the funniest things I've seen today. The way that you handle all of the "unofficial" dialogue and characters is amazing.

My vote continues to go with Kohran.

Wow, and here I thought the whole "Iris is a Dark Lovecraftian God of Destruction" was a JOKE.

Fortunately, we have the lovely Kohran and her God-given gift of :science: to deal with this threat.

Or we can have Kanna jump-kick her. That'll work too.

I'm finding it real hard to choose between Kohran and Kanna right now. Everytime I start leaning towards one of them, something like this happens that just drags me the other way.

Also, Iris as Magus was just plain awesome.

Isn't Sumire the Japanese name for some sort of flower? Yeah, hitting up the Japanese-English dictionary: "sumire: violet (any flower of genus Viola, esp. the Fuji dawn, Viola mandshurica)".
Actually, ALL of our favorite fighter girls in this game are named after flowers (courtesy of Wikipedia):

Sakura: Cherry Blossom (perhaps the most obvious one for Japanese)
Iris: Iris (again, obvious)
Sumire: Violet (as you mentioned)
Maria: Tachibana Orange
Kohran: Japanese for "Crimson Orchid" (also, her last name, Li, means "plum")
Kanna: Canna Lily, but also Paulownia tree (Kiri) and Kirishima azaela

Edit: also, I find Kanna playing Sun Wukong to be VERY amusing. I'm also assuming that Sumire is playing Tripitaka (although I keep thinking she should be Zhu Bajie (Pigsy))

Yeah, Kohran might be outclassed in the "tracts of land" category, but when it comes to legs, she's got everyone beat.

But I agree with you, choosing between Kanna and Kohran can be a pretty tough choice.

P.S.: Those little facial expressions of hers are just plain ADORABLE :glomp:.

Oops, sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I completely agree with you that Kanna is adorable...except when she's in her Son Goku garb.

Of course, this is mostly due to the fact that I have a hard time associating the Monkey King, in whatever form, as "cute." A lame excuse, but there you go.

Sumire, with her "OH HO HO HO HO HO" laugh, will probably pass herself off as a ghost, so she's not in any real danger. Therefore, let's go with Kanna.

Also, choosing between Kanna or Kohran is like choosing between cake or ice cream.

Now Iris knows what it feels like to be at the mercy of someone with no regard for their physical (or mental, or emotional) well-being.

Speaking of which, Sumire has just guaranteed herself a taste of Kohran's specialty dish: Gunpowder-stuffed egg rolls with a tangy nitro-glycerine dipping sauce.


PS: The whole "cake and ice cream" comment was supposed to be saying that it was almost impossible to choose between the two, but that was, unfortunately, the only thing I could think of at the time.

Ladies and gentlemen, Our Lady Kohran, patron saint of Explosions, is BACK! :woop:

Also, I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't for people like Ogami and their so-called "common sense," the Grand Imperial Theater-Bot would be a reality.

Man, no sooner does Kohran pull out her Giant Laser of Love, then we see Kanna wrestle a bull. Honestly, how do you expect me to choose between these two when they keep pulling these Crazy Awesome stunts off?

Listen to Ogami, Tsubaki, and the warmth of your love will indeed melt the ice of Maria's heart. Or get you shot in the head. One of the two.

I can still remember how Kanna saved Iris by PUNCHING ACID in the first episode.

There are not enough words to describe just how :hellyeah: that was.

Although, there is also Kanna's introduction, where she's beating up a bunch of sailors, and Kohran showing off her GIANT, STEAM-POWERED BAZOOKA.

I just don't know whether to laugh or cry at this (4KIDS!:argh:).


Also, the fact that Kohran and Kanna are the only ones actually doing anything USEFUL reminds me why I like them so much: they have dedicated their lives to explosions and punching, and are prepared to do whatever it takes to continue doing so.
