TAISHO ERA, 12th YEAR: MAY
SHIBA PARK

Quite possibly one of the most retarded parks in the world. It's basically the tower, two roads, and a series of steep cliffs that serve only to ensure that pedestrians will fall and break their necks if they're not careful.

Looks like SOMEONE didn't get the evacuation order in time. Shame on you, local city law enforcement.



As the civvies run for their lives, we get a nice, long look at the gun-type Wakiji, equipped with some kind of ridiculously awesome circular ammo reloader.

And as for that monstrous fiend, Tenkai...



... he doesn't seem to really give a flying shit about the all-important Imperial Capital Tower that's sitting behind him.



It makes as much sense to me as it does to you guys, believe me. It's just a chant, as far as I can tell.



Good god, what ISN'T steam-powered nowadays? Even this demonic thingamabob has some kind of engine behind it.



... I don't blame Tenkai for ignoring the Tower anymore. I mean, he's sitting here with some kinda perfectly awesome demonic toy, AND drills are a man's romance, don't'cha know?

... Lord Tenkai, you're facing the food stalls.

[Tenkai]

Really? Oh, my, you're quite right; I appear to have forgotten my spectacles again. Satan, be a dear and go fetch them for me, will you?

[Satan]

No.

[Tenkai]

DO IT OR I'LL CURSE THE REMNANTS OF YOUR THRICE-DAMNED SOUL INTO THE ABYSS, YOU FOOL!!

[Satan]

... yessir.

[Tenkai]

That's my boy.

[??? (Totally Kohran)]

Hold it right there!



BLIIIMP!!

...

... it's just not the same. Dammit, Rolling Thunder, why did you have to be so awesome?



I certainly HOPE that you guys remember which person rides which Koubu!



It's not too hard- not only does each pilot wear uniforms that're the same color as their Koubu, but they're each equipped with their own trademark weapons and armor, too.



Hell, back in the older games, they didn't have all of this fancy-pants customization- they were all recolors. It was like taking a battalion of NPC Zakus and trying to differentiate them using giant buckets of paint.



I'm running out of things to talk abo- OH HO, NEW KOUBU.



And finally, all those weeks of practice at jumping down from great heights (without breaking a limb) have finally paid off for Ogami.



CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE'S VERY FIRST POST.
