----------
VIDEO ALERT!
The first part of the final (???) battle!
GameVee Version!
----------
Right, we're back up to full platoon strength, while Tenkai remains one short step away from death (figuratively speaking).
----
Not much has really CHANGED, so this remains a simple enough proposition--
----
-- ESPECIALLY given the fact that the squad still seems to be dealing a respectable amount of damage.
[Ogami]
A great cause, you say... you've got to be kidding!! What kind of great cause do YOU have!?
[Tenkai]
The restoration of the shogunate! I shall return this land of the rising sun to its greatest and most rightful form!!
This is truly a great cause! That is why I say you are fools, as you cannot grasp even that much!!
[Ogami]
........
As usual, it's not enough to just think up a snappy comeback that'll totally piss off Tenkai...
We gotta think up a snappy comeback that'll totally piss off Tenkai and belt it out at full force.
[Ogami]
You've got to be kidding! Like we'd possibly accept something like that!!
What's so great about your cause that you'd be fine with letting your own underlings die!? Knock it off with this nonsense!
[Tenkai]
You little whippersnapper... you truly think that you can just say whatever you want... I cannot forgive you! I shall never forgive you!!
I shall wipe you from the face of the Earth along with the West-corrupted Japan, Imperial Assault Force!!
[Ogami]
That suits me just fine! We'll decide this here and now!!
----
[Maria]
You're fine with him wiping us off the face of the Earth?
[Ogami]
Ye-- NO.
----
Skipping through a few turns here. Suffice to say...
... violence happens.
[Sakura]
Ogami-san!
[Ogami]
Oh!
----
Along with another combination attack, which may or may not be leaving Ogami with the vague feeling that he's compatible with way too many women at once!
----
----
[Ogami]
Kohran?
[Kohran]
Hm? What's up, Ogami-han?
[Ogami]
I-I really don't know how to ask this, but... y'know, since there ARE over a handful of Wakiji running around that might get in the way of our utter rape of Tenkai, I was wondering if you might, uh...
[Kohran]
What's that, Ogami-han? You want spiritual hot springs!?
[Ogami]
Wait, that's not--
----
----
[Ogami]
Holy SHIT, Kohran, how the hell did--
[Kohran]
Hahaha, it just so happens that I got plenty of 'em right here!! Let's do this, Cap'n!!
[Ogami]
B-But I was only asking if you had some kind of invention that'd wipe out all the gyaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--
----
Full Technicolor
Launch! TEIGEKI ROBO
----
[Ogami & Kohran]
TEIGEKI BEEEEEAM~!!
----
----
----
[Ogami]
... well, THAT was a baffling and vaguely disturbing trip down memory lane.
[Kohran]
Look on th' bright side, Captain, we exploded every single Wakiji on th' field!
[Ogami]
On the downside, I don't think I'll ever ask you for anything ever again.
[Kohran]
Aww, c'mon, don't be like that! Who're you gonna turn to whenever y'all need someone t' swab th' inside of yer urethra with a Q-tip?
[Ogami]
A certified doctor AND SOMEONE WHO ASKS ME IF I ACTUALLY NEED A URETHRA SWAB TEST DONE AT THE TIME.
[Kohran]
Ch'. Touchy, touchy.
----
[Ogami]
How's that, Tenkai! We've taken down your allies! Now all that's left is you alone!!
[Tenkai]
You've gotten quite cocky, just from taking out the small fry...
----
[Tenkai]
All at once... in a frighteningly short amount of time, AND in a hideously painful and gratuitous explosion...
[Tenkai]
...
[Kohran]
Yeah, that's right, y'all jes' LET that sink in.
----
[Tenkai]
... my fallen minions. Become my blood, become my flesh, and fight on through me!
[Ogami]
W-What? His demonic energy's increasing!!
[Tenkai]
Fwahahahaha!! Can you defeat me now? Behold my true power!
[Ogami]
I'll do it, Tenkai! I will not lose to someone like you, you who doesn't believe in his allies!!
----
[Ogami]
... and, y'know, you who doesn't bother summoning allies that you could've summoned in our FIRST battle against you, thus outnumbering our smaller squad AND becoming uber-powerful once we manage to get past said allies.
[Tenkai]
Look, do you HAVE to rag me so hard? Alright, so in hindsight, I've been making a few mistakes--
[Ogami]
A FEW mistakes? In hindsight? This number of mistakes shouldn't even be possible without the use of foresight, for crying out loud!!
[Tenkai]
... that's it. It's on like Donkey Kong, boy.
[Ogami]
Who?
[Tenkai]
I-- nevermind.
----
----
[Maria]
Captain, are you SURE it's such a good idea for us to dogpile Tenkai like this?
[Ogami]
Sure! Power-up or no power-up, we still outnumber him seven to one, for crying out loud. We just gotta do this quick and dirty!
[Maria]
... are you familiar with the term "clusterfuck," Captain?
[Iris]
I am!
[Sakura]
HUSH, Iris.
[Ogami]
I... to be honest, I don't think I WANT to be familiar with that term now.
[Maria]
You will be. You will be.
----
Once again, it falls to Maria...
... to save the Flower Division's arses by lowering Tenkai's attack.
And boy howdy is that debuff ever timely.
Because... well, because we kind of have a problem here.
----
And that problem is called "the Koubu are actually taking damage, ESPECIALLY those units who haven't actually had their turn yet." 
The others take less damage because they managed to defend (with the exception of Maria, who once again takes NO damage), but it's really not that big of a difference.
The problem comes when Tenkai still has enough left in the gauge to ream a good chunk of the team regardless. Once again leaving out the case of Maria...
----
I'm busy thanking my lucky stars that I just lowered his attack because jesus god.
Incidentally, during my very first playthrough of the game, Tenkai sandblasted most of my team in one turn because I hadn't actually been USING the debuffs available to me.
... that was also the point where I switched the game back from hard mode to normal mode.
----
[Ogami]
NO
[Iris]
Wha--
[Ogami]
HEAL NOW
[Iris]
Oniichan, wh--
[Ogami]
HEAL NOW
[Iris]
B--
[Ogami]
NOW HEAL NOW FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY HEAL PLZ
----
----
And that's one crisis averted.
Sumire's turn is largely uneventful, save for the fact that she blows her special gauge on attacking instead of actually using poison.
