Tokkan

Interesting, but I'm referring to the fact it uses the same kanji as this and this.

If I'm reading it correctly, it says it's the BBCP Materials Collection. Odd that it's being published by Fujimi Shobo since the first 2 MCs were published by SoftBank Creative. Odd that it's being released so soon since the console release hasn't happened yet and the Continuum Shift MC wasn't released until after CS2.

I'd imagine from the player's guild. http://sp.bbcp.ac/

Every ending is on that date, except Ragna's (2/2), Rachel's (2/4) and Bullet's (1/31). And Bullet's ending only has a different date because it's a flashback. The date given for the Kokonoe calling Tager to say she coming to do things herself is 2200/xx/xx.

Eh, but Mu at that time thought she'd be doing everyone a favour by destroying the world herself.

It's just inherent in Ragna's place in the cosmic order of BB's world. He's the "World's Destroyer". He was going to be either that or the "Azure Protector". Fate didn't smile on him and he became the former rather than the latter.

Stupid off-topic hypothetical but unlikely racing game.

What? No, they always show the previous episode's guest in the next episode's preview. Next episode's guest is Toa Yukinari (Bullet).

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1358940728 - Episode 3 preview. Also mentioned in the video's description is that Kana Ueda (Rachel's VA) and Tomomi Isomura (Makoto's VA) will be guests for Episode 4 (yes, Four). Wait, 2 guests? Either Episode 4 must follow a special announcement (BBCP console version announced in February?), or Asami Imai has taken another one of her leaves. Or both, or neither. Doesn't matter which.

First one, at least, covers the Wheel of Fortune. Yes, I say first one because the full title of the novel implies it's only the first part of both a series and a story arc.

Dexter posted photos. Check the Official Art thread, here's a link to the exact post.

It's a novel, and the artist is one the guys who drew the CG art for both arcade and story modes in the games. I believe the artist's name is Yuuki Sugiyama.

I noticed in the CT novel illustrations that Saya wore a silver choker. Then I remembered that in Ragna's profile it says his treasured object is a silver bracelet/bangle. And that in the same illustration, he's wearing a silver bracelet that's identical to Saya's choker. And then I'm like "wha?!".

Nah, I read it wrong and it turned out the be the other way around.

Take-Mikazuchi as an Astral Heat would be silly as fuck. That thing wipes out entire cities and can only be fired once every 4 years, it being usable as an Astral Heat should raise more than a few eyebrows.

It's the prologue and some of the first chapter. Prologue is entirely new material, about how the three siblings came to be at the church. The bit of the first chapter covers Ragna's attack on Akitsu. Probably someone better than me can write up any other facts.

There's actually some unused voice lines in CS that indicate that she was going to be able to activate Tsukuyomi in fights. And strangely, it was actually recorded in English. Seems weird, considering Hakumen's unused "Kokuujin: Rehhyou" lines are only in Japanese. (Hakumen was at one point in development going to get Jin's C DP, but as a super instead of a regular special? Dafuq?)

What? You mean how Rachel gave her the harshest scolding she's ever given anyone? And then in the last few seconds Litchi tries to say something but it's fragmented in the same way Arakune's speech was in CT and CS? I can see how that can piss off any Litchi fan.

He actually talked to Sena first, but yeah.

Yeah, but only in Japanese.

No, harmless is making assumptions. It'd make sense, but I don't think so. There's a distinction between these beastkin in Japanese with juujin/beastman (Jubei) and ajinshu/human-like (Makoto, Valk), though with regards to Kokonoe I've only seen people in Japan refer to her as a hanjuujin (半獣人 half-beastman).

For the English translation, yes. In the original Japanese, no.

Eh, no she wasn't. The only direct verbal statement of her species was in Teach Me Miss Litchi, where she called herself a "human-like". I believe the exact way it went was that Tao asked Makoto why she has a fluffy tail when Tsubaki and Noel don't and Makoto was like "Tao, you've never heard of human-likes before?" or something like that.

Valkenhayn's profile for CP specifically mentions him as a "wolf beastkin". And I believe it was already stated somewhere else. Also in Japanese what Jubei is called is a "beastman" (獣人 juujin) while what Makoto and Valk are called is "sub-human species" (亜人種 ajinshu). In CT, they were translated as "beastman" and "human-like species" when they discussed them in TMML. In CS, they switched to using "beastkin" for both.

Nemesis Horizon is the cauldron in the sky that the mech thing is descending from in the opening around the part Mu and Nu show. That much I am sure of.
