Shinrai ‘Trust’ Part One - A Mini-Novel about the Sixth Platoon

Notes: FINALLY! I started translating this months ago, but lost interest. I’m currently on a super DanSen high so I HAD to finally finish it. 

This was different from a magazine translation - this was a novel translation, so it involved being more creative with words to make it read like a novel. I REALLY hope I did a good job. Vanessa’s battle in the forest against the Arabista forces was particularly difficult to understand and translate, so it’s probably full of mistakes. But the conversation and communication between the Sixth Platoon members - I spend ages searching for the right words. I LOVE this platoon so much.

This is part one - part two focuses on Kageto slowly growing to trust Muraku and the birth of the Violet Devil.

If even one DanSen fan reads this I will be satisfied but I guess I translated it mostly for myself. And as practice for the Inazuma GO novel I will eventually translate...

Shinrai ‘Trust’ Part One

In the corner of the classroom, a girl reclined back in her seat, legs resting on top of her desk, as she stared at the screen of her CCM (Control and Communication Manipulator) - bored.

From her appearance one would assume she was born in Southern Asia, as she stood out conspicuously even amongst her classmates. Her dark indigo hair was gathered into a thick plait, and only her light colored pupils expressed her hidden resolution.

Her name was Vanessa Gala, a class 1 second year student of Kamui Daimon Comprehensive Academy. She was feared as the Brown Mustang by certain students.

However, she also had another nickname: ‘Captain Killer’.

Rossius Sixth Platoon - Vanessa’s platoon. Their war record was not bad by any means.

However, for some reason one by one every newly appointed captain came and then left. One captain became lost, another expressed a wish to be transferred to a different platoon out of his own free will.

Within the classroom, students were scattered around in small groups, but kept their distance from Vanessa’s seat. This wasn’t surprising. The sixth platoon’s newest captain, who had been appointed not even two weeks ago, had become LOST during yesterday’s War Time.

“Another one bites the dust.”

“Just how many people have there been?”

“Those guys are nothing but trouble…”

Vanessa heard them whisper in hushed voices. Even though she’d planned to pay no attention to their conversation, it was still unpleasant to her ears. Still, it wasn’t as if she particularly cared.

“Vanessa.”

The boy sitting in the seat beside her addressed her. He was a member of the same sixth platoon, Mikhail Rourke.

“I thought you had more guts than that.”

She knew what Mikhail was going to say. Take it easy. But she couldn’t do that. In War Time the danger of being LOST and expelled went hand in hand with combat. She couldn’t care less if a captain got himself LOST due to his own inability to give decent commands. Smiling wryly at Vanessa’s words, Mikhail answered her.

“Please don’t bully the new captains so much. Do you understand?”

Mikhail sounded just like a mother scolding her child. Vanessa turned her gaze towards him.

“Oh, please. You didn’t like that captain either, did you?”

“That’s not true at all. I believe he was trying his utmost.”

At Mikhail’s words, Vanessa huffed and once again dropped her gaze to her CCM. As she did, this time the boy sitting on her other side, their mechanic Kiba Kageto, opened his mouth.

“Vanessa thinks captains are nothing but a nuisance, and she’s too stubborn to change her opinion.” He teased her with a weak smile.

“You got it! There’s no way I’m following orders from a useless captain.”

Mikhail and Kageto looked at each other. Mikhail continued to smile wanly. Kageto sighed in disappointed.

“What if-”

Mikhail once again engaged Vanessa in conversation.

“-you were the next captain?”

This time Vanessa laughed at Mikhail’s words.

“No way! If that was the case, I’d have been given the order a long time ago!”

“I wonder what kind of guy is gonna come next?”

Kageto mumbled.

“Who knows? I’m praying it’s gonna be a decent guy with a lot of battle experience more than anything.” Vanessa replied, looking up from her CCM.

At that the classroom door opened. The homeroom teacher for the Class 1 second years entered the room, followed by a boy. Vanessa turned her sharp gaze towards this boy. She did this every time a newly assigned captain came, in order to determine his character and evaluate whether or not he was worth following orders from. Up until now, all of the captains had been startled by her intense gaze and usually faltered. This time Vanessa intended to do the same thing. However, this boy didn’t react at all and just kept walking.

“Well, it looks like this guy’s either stupid or just stubborn.”

While she was thinking this, she crossed her legs and folded her hands under her chin, waiting for the homeroom teacher to speak.

“Well then, everyone, I’d like to introduce your new classmate, Houjou Muraku-kun.”

At the middle-aged homeroom teacher’s introduction, Muraku lightly bowed his head.

“He will become the new captain for the sixth platoon. Vanessa, Mikhail, Kageto. Please support Houjou-kun.”

“Sensei.”

At that Vanessa raised her hand.

“Please tell us his past war record.”

The homeroom teacher was silent for a moment, before stroking his chin and beginning to talk.

“He has no past war record, since he’s only just transferred here.”

Vanessa looked shocked.

“What?!”

At this, Mikhail also stood up.

“I’m afraid I don’t understand. Why is a guy with no war record all of a sudden becoming our captain?”

“You’re leaving our fate to him? Aren’t you at least able to transfer in a guy from another class?”

“That’s right! I don’t want to do maintenance for a guy like that.”

Vanessa and Kageto continued Mikhail’s protest.

“This was Krosky-sensei’s judgement.” At this, the homeroom teacher sighed before continuing to speak. “The sixth platoon has no sense of order at the moment. Don’t you three have any self-awareness?”

This shut all of them up completely.

“Anyway, he will become your captain. You will communicate willingly with him.” At this the homeroom teacher turned back to Muraku.

“Your seat is over there.”

“Understood.”

Without saying anything else, Muraku passed through the desks over to a free seat and sat down.

---

The students were gathered in Rossius’ control room. Vanessa was still bristling with irritation as she listened to Krosky speak.

‘We have received information that Arabista plan to invade the Far East domain of Rossius’ territory. Platoons 6, 12 and 88 will defend against their attack.’

‘Yes, sir.’ The three platoon Captains answered in response. Naturally one of them was Muraku.

Why did this guy have to become our captain…? The briefing continued, regardless of Vanessa’s feelings, until it became time for War Time to start. Just as they left the control room, Vanessa called Muraku to a halt.

‘Hey!’

When he turned around, Vanessa let Muraku know exactly how she felt towards him.

‘I refuse to accept you as our Captain.’

‘...’

‘Well, don’t you have anything to say?’

‘Well then, what should I do in order for you to accept me as your Captain?’

‘There’s nothing you can do!’

‘So what are you going to do during War Time? Ignore all of my orders and fight on your own terms?’

‘Obviously!’

‘Very well. But no matter how long you keep this up, you’re not going to improve yourself at all.’

That annoyed her. Those were fighting words.

‘...I’ll show you.’

‘What was that?’

‘During today’s War Time I’m going to eliminate Arabista all by myself! All you need to do is shut up and watch!’

After her declaration, Vanessa began to run towards the Control Pod room. Mikhail and Kageto rushed after her. Giving their retreating figures a cursory glance, Muraku too began to slowly walk after them.

---

‘All systems go. 180 seconds to War Time. All players please enter battle position.’

Following the system announcer, Vanessa set her partner Gunther into the LBX Shooter.

‘Who would follow orders from a guy like that…’ Grumbling to herself, she opened the communication window. ‘Vanessa Gala, Gunther check.’

‘I heard that.’ Mikhail appeared on the monitor. ‘What you’re saying is correct. All we can do is see what he has to offer.’

At this, Kageto entered the chat.

‘In any case, he is our Captain now. We have to cooperate with him.’

‘I guess.’

‘Mikhail, Kageto, once we reach the designated battleground, let me go ahead with the Riding Armor. You guys be Muraku’s opponent.’

‘Wait, you’re not seriously going to…?’

‘What did I say? I’m going to annihilate the enemy. In the meantime, you guys stop Muraku from entering the battlefield.’ At this point Muraku entered the chat.

‘Houjou Muraku, Gunther check.’ As soon as he spoke, Vanessa felt a surge of anger. Why did this creep have to use the same LBX as her?

‘Muraku, I won’t call you Captain.’

‘...I never asked you to.’

‘Well, whatever. I’ll show you what I can do.’

‘...I’m looking forward to it.’

The way he answered without any change in his expression infuriated Vanessa. She immediately closed the chat.

---

Whilst looking at the monitor that had just been shut off, Muraku - as if nothing had just happened - called Kageto over the chat.

‘Kiba Kageto.’

Since he’d been called, Kageto had no choice but to answer him.

‘Yes?’

‘Do we have a spare set of sabres?’

‘Huh?’ Kageto replied without thinking.

‘I’m asking you if we have a spare set of sabres?’

‘Yeah, sure we do. In the craft carrier.’

‘Understood.’ With a one-word response, Muraku prepared for landing.

---

The Rossius Union’s enormous territory spread from the West to the East. The East division was under the 6th Platoon’s jurisdiction, moving to the place where Rossius bordered Jenock and Arabista. According to Commander Krosky’s information, the enemies were planning an invasion from the sky by the Arabista borders. The platoons had to scout the area before the enemy craft carriers arrived. That’s where Vanessa was headed.

‘Kageto!’

‘Affirmative.’

The bottom of the craft carrier opened and Vanessa’s Gunther aboard a Riding Saucer descended. The Control Room noticed this immediately and contacted them.

‘6th Platoon, what are you doing?’

‘...’

Vanessa ignored this.

‘Respond, 6th Platoon!’ At this Muraku cut into the chat.

‘Control Room, this is the 6th Platoon. We’re sending out one unit in order to scout the enemy’s movements.’

‘!’

Vanessa was taken back. This Captain, just what on earth was he playing at? Her head became clouded with suspicion.

‘This is the Control Room, affirmative. Report back on Arabista’s movement.’

‘6th Platoon, affirmative. Vanessa, send us your report as soon as you can.’

‘...Tch!’ Without replying to Muraku’s order, Vanessa piloted her Riding Saucer towards the country’s border.

---

As she neared the border’s coastline, Vanessa cautiously observed her surroundings. She didn’t see anything that could be an enemy. That went for both the airspace and above ground was also clear. There didn’t seem to be anything to be concerned about.

‘What’s going on? Did our secret intelligence get false information again?’

Recently, the Rossius Union’s secret intelligence were getting quite a lot of false information, and every time they did Rossius platoons were sent dashing about all over the place. It seemed like this time once again false info had been received. Bearing this in mind, Vanessa had just placed her hand on the gear stick.

A beam of light broke through the water’s surface. A second later, it hit her Riding Saucer.

‘What the-?’

Before she had time to question what was going on, her Riding Saucer had already began to crumble. Taking a look out over the coastline, one by one Arabista LBX units - Jirant - were coming from the water’s surface to land.

‘They weren’t coming from the air at all!’

Rounding on Vanessa’s routed LBX, the enemy units began to fire. Vanessa hurriedly instructed her Gunther to dismount from the Riding Saucer, and the minute she did it exploded from the impact of the guns. As soon as she landed, she lost her balance, teetering across the earth. And that was when she dropped her hand rifle.

‘Shit!’ Vanessa made her LBX dash behind the shadow of a rock near the coastline.

(Shit, I can’t do a thing to attack them without a weapon! … I’m in big trouble.) 

Gritting her teeth, she desperately tried to think of a plan when the communication window opened again.

‘Vanessa, what’s your situation?’ It was Kageto.

‘I messed up. Arabista didn’t come from the air, they came from the water. My Riding Saucer’s out of action and I’ve lost my weapon.’

‘What did you just say?’

‘I’m hiding right now, but I don’t know when they’re going to find me.’

At this, Mikhail also entered the chat.

‘How many enemy units are there?’

Vanessa check the monitor to see how many enemies were caught on the radar.

‘Nine. All Jirant. I can’t confirm what kind of weapons they’re using, but there is a sniper.’

‘Can you get out of there?’

‘I think if I move they’ll catch me.’

‘Understood.  We should get there soon too. Until then, try to wait it out and respond to any communication.’

When the chat ended, Vanessa looked out over to the enemy units milling around in front of her eyes. She had no weapon and she was at a serious disadvantage in numbers. Going into battle in these circumstances would be like dashing into the hornet’s nest, the best possible outcome getting a Break Over. The worst possible outcome was getting LOST.

(Is my battle really gonna end here…?)

As much as she wanted to stick it to Muraku, dashing out onto the battlefield by herself was probably just reckless. The thought crossed her mind that it was possible Muraku tolerated Vanessa’s defiance because he knew something like this would happen. That way if Vanessa became LOST, Muraku might peacefully settle into the 6th Platoon.

Faced with a dangerous situation, Vanessa found herself unable to think anything but negative thoughts.

(This is bad, now of all times I’ve gotta stay calm and move.)

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then let it back out. When she opened her eyes once again, she focused on the enemy LBX.

The Arabista Captain’s LBX started to move. Almost as if he were the head of special forces or something, he began making his way up the mountain. He knew Vanessa’s unit was still alive, and he was looking for it. An army of Jirant, the Captain’s unit in the middle of the pack, was heading her way.

‘At this rate I’m done for…’

Vanessa made up her mind and dashed out from under the shadow of the rock. She turned towards a forest she could see a lit bit farther ahead and made her Gunther run for it. At this sudden movement, the Jirant instantly began to shoot. Vanessa began to sweat.

‘Shit, I don’t want to lose here!’

She yelled, making her Gunther dash left and right as he ran. Suddenly its left leg was hit by one of the enemy’s bullets, and Gunther flipped head over heels. But the hit wasn’t fatal and it managed to dash into the forest and the bullets only collided with the forest of trees.

‘That was close…’

When she took a deep breath and looked over her surroundings, she could see the Captain of the Jirant and the others heading towards her.

‘...Alright.’

Vanessa thought for a moment, then grabbed hold of a branch that lay in front of her.

The Jirant pack entered the forest while carefully surveying their surroundings. With 6 units defending the front of the pack, the units proceed into the forest. 3 units made up the rear defense. If an enemy ambushed them, the 6 units in front would defend. This was their formation for entering a territory like a forest.

They continued along the dirt road, careful not to slip in the mud. Vanessa’s Gunther, covered in mud, aimed her stick at one of the enemy Jirant and threw it at its gun, which slipped out of its hand at the impact. Straight away, Gunther tackled the Jirant and punched it - once, twice, three times - resulting in a Break Over.

Noticing something was wrong, the rest of the enemy LBX took aim in her direction and began to fire. Vanessa picked up the fallen Jirant’s gun and made her way out of that area, followed by a shower of bullets.

‘Taking out just 1 unit really doesn’t make much difference…’

She had her LBX slip into a low pit, careful not to show her face as the enemy approached and began to shoot blindly until she was out of bullets, then threw away the gun. She took a deep breath as she lay in hiding. The sound of approaching LBX echoed all around her. When she confirmed it on the radar, she saw another unit heading towards her. She was weaponless. Preparing herself for the worst, Vanessa

Gazed at the monitor. She couldn’t confirm her location on the radar.

Suddenly she found herself face to face with an enemy unit. She thought she’d let her judgement slip, but the enemy unit must have been tailing her. It aimed its gun at her unit’s chest.

‘I never saw you coming…!’

Resigning herself to her fate, she shut her eyes.

Suddenly, a white shadow descended from the sky. Clutching a sabre in both hands, the unit began its massacre of the Jirant pack.

‘Good job hanging in there.’

(Muraku…!)

She felt something like anger rise inside her. There was nothing worse than the very person she wanted to show up be the one to save her. However, Muraku wasn’t concerned with how she felt, and immediately dashed into the pack of enemy units. Wielding a sword in both hands, one by one he began to take down each enemy. He would take an attack from the enemy units with the sword in his right hand, and with the sword in his left hand he would penetrate them. When one enemy was defeated he quickly turned to the next.

(He’s so fast…)

There were no flaws in his movement - it was beautiful. He deftly dodged an oncoming attack from both sides, causing both units to crash into each other. It was like he could predict the enemy’s attack.

‘Vanessa, are you okay?’

When she heard his voice and turned around, she found Mikhail’s Glerior in a ready to battle position, his gun aimed to fire.

‘Respond!’

‘Oh, I’m fine.’ Vanessa responded, relieved, all the while watching Muraku’s battle. Muraku’s unit swiftly sliced the final enemy in two, an action followed by a large explosion. In no time at all, he’d taken down 8 enemy units without a single word.

‘He’s crazy good…’

‘Yeah…’

Mikhail was also momentarily stunned by Muraku’s battle.

‘So this is… our new Captain?’ As Vanessa continued to watch Muraku’s battle, her heart swelled with pride.

---

When War Time ended, Vanessa made her way over to Muraku’s Control Pod. Without saying a word, Muraku climbed out of the pod and stood in front of Vanessa.

‘...What?’

‘...I guess I can accept you as our Captain.’ As embarrassing as it was, she had to admit it. Even it hadn’t been for him, she would have probably been LOST today. That was a fact.

‘Is that so.’ Saying no more than this, Muraku turned and began to walk away from the control pods.

‘What the hell is his problem?’ Kageto said bitterly.

‘...Vanessa…’ Mikhail looked anxious. However, Vanessa looked completely refreshed.

‘Doesn’t matter. He’s our Captain after all.’ When Vanessa said this with a smile, the two boys exchanged baffled glances.

‘That guy is the new Captain for the 6th Platoon.’ Seemingly saying this to reassure herself rather than anyone else, Vanessa turned to watch their new Captain walk away.

*fistpumps*

Lmao I’m watching Wars and they were talking about Hernes’s commander Doldkins and I’m just shouting “IT’S JIN” throughout the entire episode and I was actually right holy fucking shit. They didn’t even give us any hints aside from like the super early episodes that he was their commander but YESSSS I’m so pumped to see an alliance between Hernes and Jenock next episode

#Azure watches Danball Senki Wars #Danball Senki #Danball Senki Wars #Kaidou Jin #okay but I expected to end up hating wars and I love it??? too much??? #Like everything about this show and it's characters makes up for the seeming lack of character we got in previous series #every member of the Platoons gets a chance to shine #and while members of Kaito's and Gendou's Platoons haven't got to shine yet #everyone else has holy shit #also #okay but the part where they were analyzing the voice of Doldkins was what got me #it was waaay too obvious it was Jin #i thought it was takeru at first but nope i heard that voice and was like #Doldkins is definitely Jin #Also Ms. Mito fucking blackmailed the First Platoon into finding him and I just #she just #set them up #on a real life mission #I fucking love her #she deserves to run for the best instructor award #if they have one lmao

Dorm Room Numbers

Because we all want to write stories that circulate inside their rooms, eh?

So, we all know that Arata and Hikaru were roomed in 302.

And Sakuya is their neighbour in 301.

But of course they have many other neighbours.

From Sakuya's room and the shared room of Arata and Hikaru, we can see that the rooms go in ascending order from left to right. So the room next to Arata and Hikaru's is room 303, then 304. It stops there and continues on the other side of the building, still in ascending order for the next four rooms.

Who lives in room 303?

My theory is Gendou [and his butler Ayabe, maybe].

When this scene ended, it was slowly zooming in towards room 303 or 304.

[Holy crap Ayabe, I know you're his butler, but you don't need to watch him while he sleeps. Creepy.]

Then, this scene came up. I'm only assuming but it's really likely the resident(s) of rooms 303 or 304 are Gendou and Ayabe.

Afterwards, our lovely butler heads off to Rikuya's room.

He's in room 306, which is right in front of room 303. Short trip huh, Ayabe? Also note that the president's son doesn't have a roommate. I'm actually beginning to believe that the only people who share rooms are Arata with Hikaru and Haruki with Muraku.

In room 307, which is in front of room 302, we have little prince Kaito.

And then on the other side of Rikuya's room, the captains appear like the heroes they are. The noise I made when this happened was inhuman. That means their room is 305.

Also, proof that room 307 is in front of room 302.

[You were thinking about formation attacks Arata. Formation attacks. God. It's not Hikaru's fault you didn't sleep.]

All in all, here's a summarized image.

Now, get going to those stories set in one of these rooms.

Danball Senki Wars - Four Hearts United as One (Prince Animage 2013)

Full scans can be found here.

Notes: I love DanSen Wars so much... I’m so glad Muraku’s name was said a lot! Anzai-san and Ryouta-san bickering is so funny... Hikaru looks like a girl, but his voice actress looks like a very beautiful boy. And Maeno-san is so mean to Rikuya! This interview was the most fun one I’ve ever translated. I LOVE MURAKU DANSEN WARS!

-Interview with Osaka Ryota (Arata), Ishizuka Sayori (Hikaru), Maeno Tomoaki (Haruki) and Anzai Chika (Sakuya)-

Sena Arata

He was instantly able to adjust to using his new LBX Dot Blastrizer, but his Overload ability seems to be uncontrollable? Arata seems to still have untapped potential.

Questions for Ryouta-san!

Favorite character?

Mito-sensei. Because she called me by my name (laughs). Not ‘Sena Arata’; just ‘Arata’. I was really happy~ I’ve said since episode 1 that I like Mito-sensei. But I was surprised she’s actually 29. An adult!

Favorite LBX?

Of course I like my own, but appearance-wise I like Phantom. I really like that when it opens its arms, it gives the impression of wings.

↑ Arata’s regular clothes (rough draft)

Hoshihara Hikaru

In order to cope with his WTSD, he took kendo classes. His kendo uniform really suited him.

Questions for Ishizuka-san!

Favorite character?

Appearance-wise, I like Tadashi. He’s cool. And I like Bunta too. While everyone was watching the First Platoon’s battle strategy and laughing, he shouted ‘Stop laughing!’ and it made me think that he’s a really good kid.

Favorite LBX?

Kyouji-kun’s Gruxeon. I like that it gives off a bad-guy vibe!

↑ Hikaru’s regular clothes, 3-year-old Hikaru, and Hikaru with his hair loose (rough drafts)

↓ Haruki’s regular clothes (rough draft)

Questions for Maeno-san!

Favorite character?

I like Gendou. In episode 26, Haruki was paired up with Gendou and Hikaru was with Kaito, and Gendou gave Haruki some words of support. Since Kaito didn’t say anything to Hikaru, that contrast was very impressionable.

Favorite LBX?

Gruxeon. Its spear-shaped weapon is cool.

Hosono Sakuya

His top priority during battles is to support Arata and the others, but he also makes them amazing new battle armor and LBX.

Questions for Anzai-san!

Favorite character?

From the start I’ve always liked Hikaru. I think it’s wonderful when he unties his hair while he sleeps! But I like Haruki too. He and Sakuya’s feelings are linked together. And Arata - well, I like his personality. (laughs) So I love the First Platoon.

Favorite LBX?

Siren. I like that it feels like a female ninja! Everyone in the Fourth Platoon uses a different colored one so they match. But now that Yuno’s using Arata’s old Dot Phaser it’s no longer an All Siren team…

Let’s Fight! Together We are the First Platoon!

Following up from our October issue, the cast of the First Platoon have come to talk with us. To begin, please tell us about the most memorable episode to you so far.

Ryouta: The one that got me the most fired up while we were recording - the battle in Death Forest with Muraku.

Arata went back alone to rescue Muraku.

Ryota: That was really intense - there story took a dramatic turn. In the end, Sakuya and the others came to help too - it was a victory achieved by everyone together! And on top of that, new fighting gear was made for us!

It felt like the distance between Muraku and Arata’s hearts has shrunk.

Ryota: It did. Muraku’s not really the type to talk a lot or explain things in detail, but he waited patiently for that idiot Arata to understand (laughs). I think Arata reminded Muraku about how you could ‘enjoy LBX battles’ instead of just fighting. So one day I’d love to see those two battle with each other - not during War Time - just enjoy normal, fun LBX battle.

Ishizuka: In Hikaru’s case, the story about his relationship with his father in episode 13 makes you think a lot about him, but also the episode before that - the scene in episode 12 where he screams at Arata. When I read the script I felt like, the time has finally come! Hikaru vented his feelings of frustration and his endless worries to Arata for the first time. I realised that this was a very important scene. In contrast to those scenes, I also like episode 16 - the episode where Takeru appears - when everyone is chuckling at Arata.

Anzai: Oh, when Arata was asked for his autograph!

Ishizuki: Yeah! Even Haruki laughed along with everyone else - the First Platoon are different now. So I really like the episodes continuing on from episode 13. I could feel the First Platoon’s bond getting stronger.

Maeno: About Haruki, since he’s always overlooking their strategies as a whole, the scene where he had to stop Arata and Hikaru from rushing onto the battlefield was very memorable. Arata’s so reckless that I’ve said ‘Stop it, Arata!’ too many times to count.

*All laugh*

Maeno: I actually said it during today’s recording too!

Ryota: But Haruki is unexpectedly okay with getting on board with Arata’s battle strategies~

Maeno: He is (laughs). Like their Formation Attack.

Ryouta: And the drift ice battle strategy.

There was also the strategy where they made the water tower fall over. Arata’s an idea man.

Ryouta: That had a high probability of working out! Fair play to the First Platoon for going along with Arata’s crazy strategies! (laughs)

Maeno: Arata sometimes says things that make sense. Although it can be difficult to get his ideas to work out in real life!

Anzai: For Sakuya it was episode 10. I was so happy when he was the person who won the most silver credits. Mechanics are recognised for their achievements too. I thought ‘I’m glad you got by on your budget up until today, Sakuya!’. And episode 10 was also a little bit romantic - he was nervous about meeting Rinko. Hyo-chan who plays Rinko was also nervous while she was standing in front of the mike, so the moment we finished recording and our eyes met we breathed a huge sigh of relief, phew! (laughs)

Rinko doesn’t think about Sakuya in that way.

Anzai: I don’t think she does. Thanks to Arata getting carried away Sakuya got the wrong idea…

Ryouta: Hey, don’t blame me~!

Anzai: But it’s true! You said things like, she’s going to confess her love to you!

Ryouta: But Sakuya’s the one who got carried away with that, wasn’t he?

Anzai: What were you doing looking at my phone anyway?!

Ryouta: You looked busy with your work so I was doing you a favor by reading the message to you!

When Arata picked up Sakuya’s CCM, the message was already on-screen. (laughs)

Anzai: Hikaru from episode 13 was also very memorable to me. Hikaru pushed himself to the limit, and Arata and Haruki were like, what’s going on? But Sakuya was quietly whispering his name, Hikaru… But in the second half of the battle when he saw Hikaru wasn’t really acting like himself, Sakuya said that to him. ‘This isn’t like you!’ Then he said something like, ‘It’s BECAUSE all four of us have our own roles that we can win!’

Ryouta: I thought so too! Sakuya’s words pierced Hikaru’s heart. When Hikaru was told ‘All four of us together are the First Platoon!’ he snapped out of it. I cried.

Anzai: Sayori-san’s Hikaru is just wonderful; I really feel for him. I tried my best to give it my all in that scene too. Everything that’s happened up until now, how Sakuya looks out for everyone and how everyone is watching over them - the conversation during that scene was full of that.

Ishizuka: Sakuya’s a really good kid. He has a lot of friends too.

Anzai: He’s good at communicating, so he can get along with a lot of people. There was a scene where Haruki hadn’t eaten anything so he gave him some bread too. (laughs)

Maeno: Oh, there was! (laughs)

Anzai: Since the First Platoon used to be just Haruki and Sakuya for a while, I think those two can read each other very well. When Haruki gets mad at Arata, Sakuya can calm him down. I really think the First Platoon is like a family.

We’d like to ask about characters outside of the First Platoon. If all of you could join a different platoon, which would you pick?

Maeno: Anywhere is good, as long as it’s not the Third Platoon.

*All laugh*

Ryouta: No way are we gonna be on the same team as the Ally Killer! (laughs) Maybe Gendou’s team? Gendou’s really cool!

Anzai: Gendou is the Dad of Jenock! I think I’d maybe pick Gregory from Rossius’ team? He has his own background music (laughs) - that looks fun.

Ishizuka: I wanna join the Girls Only team - the Fourth Platoon. Since I think Hikaru wouldn’t get involved in romantic relationships, he could just chat away with the girls.

Hikaru doesn’t seem to have much interest in girls. (Translator’s Notes: Hikaru confirmed gay)

Ishizuka: Right? He really doesn’t interact with the girls at all. To the point where Yuno asked him, ‘Hikaru, are you okay?’.

Next, if your character could make their own personal dream team, what members would they pick?

Anzai: I want Sakuya to be with the other mechanic kids. I wanna make a Super Mechanic Team!

Ryouta: But then you can’t attack!

*All laugh*

Anzai: Yeah, we’d probably die straight away. (bitter laugh) That’s fine - our purpose is to help support the players! The four mechanics are really good friends, so I think they could read L Tech together while chatting!

Ryouta: So basically they just pat each other on the back?

Anzai: Hey! They also help everyone use their LBX!

Ryouta: They watch over everyone from above (laughs).

Anzai: I’ll work hard together with Takeru, Rinko and Kageto~

Ishizuka: You won’t include Bunta? Even though he’s such good friends with Sakuya (laughs).

Anzai: I picked all the cute kids (laughs).

Ryouta: Okay, then I’m going to make a player only team, and replace Sakuya with Muraku. Since I don’t want to take out Hikaru or Haruki.

Anzai: Ouch, that hurt!

Ryouta: Well, that’s my dream team.

*All laugh*

If you do that, there will be two leader-types in the group.

Ryouta: I think instead of giving others orders, Muraku’s the type to make his own movements. So when they start to attack, Muraku can be third. Like - Arata, Hikaru, Muraku and then Haruki.

Anzai: Afterwards, all that’s left will be the fragments of LOST LBX after their fight against the Devil’s Platoon. (laughs)

Ryouta: It’s alright! Arata only destroyed everything once.

Maeno: For Haruki, I think a team of all the platoon leaders would be good. Catherine, Gendou and Kaito. I won’t include Rikuya.

*All laugh*

Please be nicer to Rikuya!

Maeno: But he would be a burden! (laughs) We’d have to just protect him all the time.

Ryouta: I think anyone would feel safe with those four people. Gendou-san seems like he’ll unite the team together.

Ishizuka: I wonder who Hikaru would pick? He’s a kid who doesn’t talk much, so Hikaru and Tadashi, with Muraku as their platoon leader and Kyoka as their mechanic. A bunch of silent people would make an interesting team. But I think they’d fight well together!

Finally, please leave a message for the fans about what you’d like to see happen in the story next.

Maeno: How about an episode where the spotlight is on Haruki?

Anzai: Speaking of which, where is Haruki living at the moment?

Maeno: Haruki’s room hasn’t appeared in the anime yet at all. Even though Sakuya’s room frequently appears.

Perhaps his roommate’s bed is still empty from when his former teammates became lost?

Maeno: That could be it. Since Haruki’s room might appear soon I’ll look forward to it.

Ishizuka: I’d love to see a school festival. Everyone could sing in a chorus or something.

Anzai: I wanna see that!! And I want to know more about what happens in the shopping street. The test of courage was fun too, but I want to see a normal battle with the D Cube.

Ishizuka: Then, a trip or something? I want to see an episode away from the battles. Episode 24 was about Catherine, but it’s a shame Hikaru wasn’t aware of it or participate in it. I want to see Hikaru enjoy himself doing something fun.

Anzai: That would be great. And the world tournament Artemis is still ongoing, isn’t it?

It’s still ongoing, but it hasn’t appeared in the anime.

Maeno: If they get expelled they can leave the island. If they all become LOST?

Anzai: NO WAY! Oh, I want Sakuya to one day shout a hissatsu function. And I’d like to see more about the countries outside of Jenock. Like Rossius or Porton.

Ryouta: Yeah. It seems like the spotlight is being given to a lot of different characters, so I think I too would like to know more about everyone. And since we all have new LBX now, I think there are a lot of intense battles in store, so please look forward to them!

(Sorry for spamming) Hakuryuu,please

Okay I LOVE Hakuryuu so I'm glad I get the opportunity to do this! >D why i like them: He's crazy, I love it. He's also VERY good-looking.why i don’t: A little too obsessed with power.favorite episode (scene if movie): Seeing him on the ingame Twitter, he's really funny.favorite season/movie: I like seeing I'm in his casual clothes. He's very stylish~favorite line: When he asked Aoi to get her pet bird to say 'I AM SHINING DRAGON!'otp: None~brotp: He loves Tsurugi. Also bros with all of Resistance Japan.head canon: This is long and makes very little sense to anyone but me, so hold on...(Danball Senki Wars Crossover) When Seledy escaped from prison and Arata was trapped in a digital dimension, Hakuryuu was asked to take his place at Kamui Daimon, despite knowing nothing about LBX. His roommate was Hikaru, who he mistook for a girl, and Hakuryuu would wake up every morning to do his exercises, like push ups etc... which annoyed Hikaru a lot.A lot of crazy things happened, but Hakuryuu eventually convinced the Jenock kids to play soccer. They're not great. He got on well with the Sixth Platoon, not so well with anyone else.While Hakuryuu was at Kamui Daimon, Tenma's dog Sasuke took over as captain for resistance Japan.He has now left Kamui Daimon and is once again captain of Resistance Japan. I'm pretty sure he thinks Kurosaki is a girl (pretty sure he's not the only one).He is more than a little bit obsessed with Tsurugi and proving he's stronger than the bluenette.Whenever he unleashes his keshin in battle, he insists that Tsurugi looks. He's kind of like a child in that way.He doesn't like being teased at all. He gets fired up very easily. He's very physically fit and strong and tends to solve problems through actions rather than logical thinking. (I could be wrong, is this contradicted anywhere?)He has a very strange sense of humour. Based on the games he wanted Aoi to have her pet bird say 'I AM SHINING DRAGON!' I think that's his style of humour.Again based on the games, he's afraid of getting fat...unpopular opinion: ... but I hope he does.

Phone Charms and CCM Colours

Most of the Jenockians have phone charms on their CCMs! That's really hella cute.

In the First Platoon, only Haruki and Sakuya have phone charms though. Bummer. I'd love to see what charms Arata and Hikaru would get.

Sakuya, typical of a mechanic, has a gear for a phone charm.

But of course, most of us would remember that since we've seen his CCM and phone charm numerous times onscreen. Unfortunately for us, we've only seen Haruki's CCM and phone charm twice.

Charming. It's a nail clipper.

It's silver, it looks like its made of steel, its long and it has two. Who am I to say there aren't any names written on those, aye? Either way, that's his phone charm. Befits him honestly.

But what about the colours of his CCM?

Since Haruki doesn't use his CCM out of a control pod onscreen other than the above screencap, we're lucky this came up in one episode.

So yes, basically it's green and... brownish. [I'm sorry, I'm horrible with colours.] All in all, the three players here have CCM colour themes that corresponds to their LBXs. [You can see Haruki's phone charm there. Why is this so cute. Why is Haruki cute.]

We've seen Catherine's CCM in the first opening. But only the screen, so here's a cap I caught with it's back.

It's a nice colour, honest. Gold... And those star charms. More like I hope I find one in the streets soon. [My inner phone charm enthusiast is speaking.]

I don't really need to cover Yuno, you can see her CCM all over the first ED. But just in case, here's a clear cap of the CCM and charm.

I love how her charm is a donut. And her hair is in two donuts. And she loves the parfait from the cafe. I am convinced she's a sweet tooth. Adorable. This ED was adorable too. Why were the first episodes of DanSen Wars so adorable?

Ah, Kaito. What a nice CCM... It fits him, and somewhat fits Val Sparos and the riding armour. Why do you not have a charm, dang it.

Yeah, a battlefield of who has the best CCM colours.

And my bias is honestly, honestly, leaning on Muraku. Look at that violet. Look at that slick black line. Look at that. I'm making the loudest noise over Muraku's CCM. It's so pretty I'm in tears. And this is the only time we've seen it. Pain.

Shame he doesn't have a charm too. I wonder what it'd be.
