Distorted equine souls caught entwined with branches. As part of its surprise, it not only screams out, but may also suddenly drop from its hidden spot to suddenly dangle in front of its victims.

Gunpowder Bombardier (Ninja Archetype)

A while ago when I did the review for the ninja class, I mentioned that shinobi historically have used fire and explosives in their tool kit to distract guards and provide a little bang in their arsenal when they needed it.

While any ninja character can benefit from smoke bombs and other alchemical explosives, today’s subject is a specialist that makes full use of bombs in their arsenal, the gunpowder bombardier!

Gunpowder has long been part of Japan’s history, not just for fireworks of ninja explosives, but also in terms of firearms, but we won’t be focusing on the latter today.

It’s delightful to see this aspect of historical ninja be focused on in the game, even if there is an element of cinematic flexibility added to it, as we shall soon see.

These bombers seem to never run out of explosives, at least, not while their ki pool lasts, letting them draw, light, and throw these explosives from hidden pouches, and even creating bigger bombs with a bit more expenditure of ki. As they grow in mastery, the formula for these bombs improves to be even more potent.

Additionally, as they grow in power, they also learn how to add special substances to the bombs for added effect, creating bright flashes to leave a foe seeing stars, additives that make the retort deafeningly loud, sticky substances to entangle, or a startling crack to leave the foe shaken. Later on, they can introduce noxious substances to leave the target retching, or a potent mix that leaves them stunned.

They also learn, after a fashion, how to improve the fuses on these explosives so they can be delayed, letting them go off later when the shinobi is considerably further away either as a distraction, timed sabotage, or simply a surprise attack that leaves the foe guessing where the attack came from.

If you wanna have some fun with explosives and be a ninja at the same time, this archetype can be a fun way to do so. I respect the choice to not make these bombs a clone of the alchemist variety, as well as the way that additional effects are added. Using the ki pool as the resource, representing how they’ve prepared a non-specific amount of explosives and hidden them on their person is very cinematic ninja-y, while also holding true to how such a specialist would prepare. That being said, while the bombs are powerful, they will not be your primary damage dealers, as your sneak attack will likely always do more. However, if you want ranged damage and potential debuffs, they can be quite useful in that regard. Also, don’t forget that mundane alchemical weapons are still a thing, which you can supplement your arsenal with.

With this sort of specialization, you can go a few different ways. Perhaps your character was trained especially for explosives by their mentors, or maybe they spend more time on such arts than their other lessons, worrying or annoying their teachers.

The party has been tasked with sneaking into the local daimyo’s estate while their explosives expert creates a fire on the opposite end of the compound. They sneak in through the stables, only to discover that something else has already been infiltrating them, a monstrous horse-headed sagari, which has already devoured the lord’s prized steed.

Though not exactly an accurate name, the shinobi known as the peacock tengu is neither a peacock nor a tengu, but a plumekith aasimar. This flashy ninja forgoes stealth, but still proves his worth through his element of distraction not just with the potency of his bombs, but also the fact guards can’t keep their eyes off of him when he appears.

An explosion goes off in the vessel the party was traveling in as it awaited docking in port. Rushing to the deck, they make it just in time to see a shadowy figure framed by the burning prow of the ship, before they leapt into the water. Just who this person was is a mystery, one they will have to solve after they survive this sabotage.

A particularly gruesome yokai I did for drawlloween a few years back. The Sagari are apparitions of a horses head which drops down from trees on travellers. They are the souls of horses that die on the road and are discarded and left to rot where they fall.

TVR Sagaris II Prototype, 2008. The Sagaris was designed by Graham Browne and Lee Hodgetts powered by a 4.0 litre in-line 6 cylinder engine. The Sagaris II was to have some minor styling revisions and a new exhaust system. However TVR had gone into a production hiatus because their production facility went into administration before the Sagaris II made it into production.

TVR Sagaris 

The most outlandish of TVR’s late cars, the Sagaris was the first new TVR to be launched under the company’s ownership by elusive Russian oligarch Nikolai Smolensky. And then, in 2007, the company ground to a halt.A year later, the cash-strapped fragments of TVR were partly bought back by Smolensky and new plans were made to restart production. That’s when the mildly facelifted Sagaris 2 appeared, but in truth no industry pundit believed the rebirth would actually happen. It didn’t, of course; and now the Sagaris stands as a monument to all that was good, bad and mad about TVR and its turbulent history.Actually, there’s little bad about the Sagaris. To own one of the few cars made – production was in the low hundreds – is to own possibly the most bombastic pleasure machine you can buy for the money. When new in 2005 it cost £49,995, or less than a third of the cost of a new Aston Martin Vanquish – a car it would leave far behind on any challenging road. Under the Sagaris’s extraordinary skin are, broadly, the structure and mechanicals of a Tamora or T350, including TVR’s own 4-litre straight-six engine, here uprated to 400 precisely metered bhp. A low-slung racing version of the T350 sowed the Sagaris seed, which is why the Sagaris really does look like a racing car for the road. You can even see the depressions in the tops of the front wings where a race car would have air vents to relieve front-end lift, but to open the holes on a road car is to find your windscreen in the firing line of all sorts of road debris.

Then there’s the front splitter lurking just above the road surface (beware of kerbs and speed bumps), the transparent rear spoiler supported on machined-aluminium posts, the bulge in the roof to clear a crash helmet… and a mad pair of tailpipes each exiting directly sideways so pedestrians get the maximum aural benefit.

What they hear is a rumble somewhere between Jaguar D-type and racing biplane, morphing to a crackling howl as the revs rocket. The Sagaris scorches to 60mph in well under four seconds, sears past 180mph, and steers with an ultra-quick, meaty precision far removed from the other-worldly lightness that could make earlier TVRs scary. Your mind is in a state of heightened awareness within 100 yards, such is the intensity of sound and feeling, and it’s fabulous fun. Reliable fun, too, reckon the specialists.

Just finished reading Mendoku Sagari Danshi Koukousei ga Asa Okitara Onnanoko ni Natteita Hanashi.

It's quite cute and a fun example of a genderswap story having a non-caring character to a classic trope scenario but the smart setup is waylaid by a very unsatisfying ending.

The conclusion of whether the main character wanted to stay as a girl or as a guy was fine and works for the characters but the ending page repeating the same joke that's ran throughout the series just killed it a little for me.

There needed to be some kind of inversion to how it played out instead of just "You'll be providing for me" "No I won't!" repeated again it would have been so much nicer if Hayasaka turned it around on Yasuda with a simple "I wouldn't have it any other way" or similar to catch Yasuda off guard and give us a single blush scene in the entire series and end it with some kind of glimmer of the future.

I know this is entirely self indulgent but without something like that to spice it up basically nothing changes from the events in the series and nothing happens beyond an interesting premise ending with a fizzle rather than a bang.

#Mendoku Sagari Danshi Koukousei ga Asa Okitara Onnanoko ni Natteita Hanashi #a lazy guy woke up as a girl one morning #if it was funnier or had more jokes in general i wouldn't care #but like 90% of the content is people trying to flirt with yasuda #manga
