Shinjitsu no Yaiba 2023 key visual is out.Unlike the key visual used for the previous run, this adds Sachie and Himari; Sachie is understandable but maybe it's a hint that Himari will have greater significance this run. Would have thought they'd make a reference to the Karen-Ichika-Kazane plotline but it's a delayed spoiler for those who somehow still don't know what happens.
>Oh my, you are so pretty that I want to eat you>How about spending a sweet and dense time in my room tonight?>um...>Why don't you leave this person who treats women like food and come and have tea with me?>I'm not binding, okay? Of course, if you'd say you don't want to go home, that's a different story>er...
>>4008738Quite a few changes from the original run, but most were positive. I liked how Kazane had a bigger role in the re-runs so that her revival as a failed Boosted Lily and the impact it had on Ichika and Karen was more meaningful. The choreo in the opening also alluded to that plotline.Seren's part in the final battle was different from how it was depicted previously too. There was a bit that almost seemed as though she would confess to Raimu (and given Seren's personality it pretty much was a confession if under any other circumstances). I appreciated that the new run showed how important Yuria is to her (there is a line where she expresses her gratitude for meeting Yuria that was not in the original run) and how much influence Yuria had on her (Seren adopts her mannerisms in conversation and there is a parallel in their combat styles because Yuria has the subskill of Seren's rare skill). The original run and Last Bullet made it clear that Yuria treasures her a lot so it was good to see more detail in how much Seren looks up to her.The final battle included parts that link it up to the destruction of Ludojo alluded in TFG and Last Bullet too, updating the plot to align things together.There is a fan theory floating around that Seren volunteered to be a Boosted Lily after the final battle, to explain how she survived and for her to better understand Raimu although nothing really confirms or denies it.
https://twitter.com/assaultlily_st/status/1695723073058603359https://assaultlily-stage.jp/cat_stage/216/More news regarding the December Yurigaoka shows. It's hard to tell if the "Sanngridr chapter" and "Oshima Recon Team chapter" will be separate or within the same show.Based on the blurb it also seems like Alfheim may get involved or appear at some point.
https://twitter.com/assaultlily_lb/status/1700464070963728752Just in: Suguta Hina plays Higure, the 5th member of Cuelebre (she's been referenced onscreen but was not shown until now). Next story event will be the Cuelebre origins episode.
>>4042829https://twitter.com/assaultlily_st/status/1704767424447316221https://twitter.com/assault_lily/status/1704767737309069485https://twitter.com/kirarinmaiyuyu/status/1704768558545485917Out of the "over 30" characters appearing, 10 are from Sanngridr/Sanngrthr and 11 from the joint forces in Tokyo+Kaede+Fumi. Fumi also said there will be "a number of people more than 3 legions" which leaves room for 10 or so additional characters not announced yet...More Hitotsuyanagitai? Yahiro and Shin? Hervarar and Cuelebre? Gran Eple? Or will Alfheim be appearing in live action? And how many of them will be played by Ludojo cast members?

Last Bullet main story updated.I need to revisit the most recent pool event story, but did Riri and Yuyu meet Mitake at the time? It seems like neither of them recognised Mitake when they ran into her and Yuni in the GEHENA facility, which suggests that the 3 Unmei no Trinity storylines take place concurrently and the pool event was set after that, with Kazuha and Fuuka on less hostile terms.Also good on Pokelabo for surprising their players with the director/principal of Yurigaoka, Twitter Fumi has talked about her before but this is the first she has appeared on-screen with a full portrait/talksprite and all.I appreciated the namedrops of Folkvangr, Schwarz Grail, Rossweisse etc and how the writer takes it that the player already knows who they are and their role in the setting, minimizing the exposition of things that were not relevant to the story at hand. They're not dumbing it down for the anime only crowd as much anymore, which might be pretty hilarious with newcomers who've just got into the series for Yahiro/Shin when their voice actresses were announced.
>>4061728The story is quite good, looking forward to Part 2.Hoping Mai takes Tazusa as her schild, been long overdue.

Hitotsuyanagi Team pairing gacha result
https://twitter.com/assaultlily_lb/status/1716726227963408778Every time Last Bullet seems like it's going to have interesting story developments (Shiori keeps mentioning Hijiri, it's probably a matter of time until Hijiri is playable) someone ruins it by introducing a very unnecessary collab. Even using ShenYu as a crutch this go round.At this rate I wonder how they'll scramble to tie in the main story with the Sanngrthr shows in December considering who the Flowers are speculated to be.
https://assaultlily-stage.jp/cat_etc/289/Nishimoto Rimi's appearance as Fumi for December's plays has been cancelled, due to her medical condition. No word yet about whether Fumi will be recast or removed/replaced in the roster (Shenlin almost definitely will not be repping Hitotsuyanagitai with Kaede, her actress is portraying Seren).I suppose the HibaFumi crowd will be kept waiting for a while yet, or Twitter Fumi might work something out with Sakuragi before/after the plays about that plot thread.
TazuMai pact soon (tm) (?)
The official page isn't updated yet, but the Flowers' actresses have been allowed to post their own pictures taken in-costume. Seems like we might get the first design for a named character with a permanently disfigurement, which is interesting considering the Flowers are speculated to be a Boosted Lily group/unit like Marimo's late sisters (and therefore wouldn't have permanent scars).Someone also compiled the colors of their respective hair accessories, which may or may not be relevant: https://twitter.com/Farmyon_G33/status/1725837219066445857
>>4102197Finally, it paid off.I hope people who don't play Last Bullet know about this.
>>4103614>Fumi and KaedeIf Hibari doesn't make an offer to Fumi soon, the rest of Sanngrthr + Mayuri + maybe even Ayako will probably push her into it 2 weeks from now.Kaede doesn't have anyone yet but that might still change. It's hard to tell how long more Twitter Fumi/Obanazawa wants to keep spinning the HibaFumi wheel or if the Prep School events this weekend will drop any new hints. Obanazawa did answer Shiraishi's question about Tokiwa's reasons for taking Misaka as her schild.
>>4103785The Schutzengel oath is for senpai/kouhai only. Also "they were shipped together in the manga" has to be one of the wildest claims I've seen in these threads.
>>4104992This anon is either easily satisfied or has /u/-appropriate selective reading so I suppose we can respect that
Pokelabo just casually dropping talksprites for Hibari and Wakana without warning was a nice surprise. Because of that, I kept waiting to see if any other characters were getting sprites as well (Sachie mentioned Ichika, and Irma deployed at least 2 legions, while Hronesness, the Saints, Schwartz Grail, and Shinshitai all accompanied their leaders) but it seems to be only the two of them this time. Also I noticed the event writer forgot to include any mention of Yuria despite showing the other 4 playable Ironside members.Hibari throwing a fit when Fumi declined her piggyback offer and Tazusa asking Mai on a date in the middle of battling the Ultra-class Huge were pretty funny to me, too.
>>4108183https://twitter.com/Saeri_Umehara/status/1734895083403821437She tagged Fumi's Q&A tag so Fumi better give us a good explanation for Yuria's disappearing act.Also the Last Bullet twitter fixed the event PV to add Haruna and Higure where they should be: https://twitter.com/assaultlily_lb/status/1734861154919616977
By fan request, the setting book for Sanngrthr/Sanngrithr/them troublemakers has a digital version, good for providing context to the show starting later today. https://acus.booth.pm/items/5346190Although the Q&A segment in the Prep School events a while back touched on some points here, it gives a more in-depth look at the relationships between the members, their beef with Matsuri and co (apparently, less to do with Matsuri than her second in charge), what happened during Touka's coma, etc.Unfortunately, some of the really juicy parts are "struck out" (I extracted the content from the pdf just to make sure), either to avoid spoilers or hinting at big revelations like the Hitotsuyanagitai book. A shame because I wanted to know more about things like how Luise's relationship with Moyu is.
For a 2-hour show, the "New Chapter" managed to pack in lots of new developments and still has several dangling threads that seem to be priming for a sequel.- Misaka is a charming lead and makes all her possible pairings look viable. Misaka/Touka and Misaka/Chihiro are the big ones but Tokiwa/Misaka/Hanna are the established canon Norn trio.- Chihiro/Seira also deserves a mention if only because Seira deserves happiness after what she's been through. The Sanngrthr first-years are cute though. If Chihiro ever has some sort of recovery/redemption storyline it's pretty much a given that Seira will ask to take the Schutzengel oath with her. Or, knowing Sakuragi's ability to write angst, Seira will realize that Chihiro is beyond redemption and has to take her down.- Luise/Touka could have done with more showing than telling, too. What they got was decent but terribly overshadowed by Touka's preoccupation with Misaka.- The intensity of Homare/Tomoyo's S/M relationship is probably too violent for an audience seeing them for the first time. Tomoyo's actress was also Kayo in the Ludojo rerun and she reminded me of Kayo with Lunatic Trancer activated at all times (Tomoyo comes from a yakuza family), in a hilariously endearing way. - Hibari/Fumi shippers ate very good with this show but they still haven't taken the Schutzengel oath yet. There's one very choice scene that manages to support Hibari/Fumi, Kaede/Riri, and Seren/Raimu all at the same time, with bonus Kaede groping Raimu.- They managed to get Kaede (Grand Guignol), Imari (Hihiirokane) and Marei (Amatsu Heavy Industries) all in one place but not a mention of this common point between them. Unfortunate.- Chihiro being the 14th member of the "Thirteen Sisters" is a very shounen-manga trope. Was funny how Marimo and Tomoshibi spoke of it like it was the most natural thing.- Those in the audience who only knew Kazuha from the Hitotsuyanagitai trilogy might be confused to hear that she's a Boosted Lily.
>>4114342Some other points I just remembered:- Raimu finally awakens to Laplace, thanks to Tomoshibi- Kaede and Touka both gain new special abilities ("inou"; similar to abilities like Akari "seeing" the color of magi or Tatsuki "hearing" Huge). Touka is also confirmed to be a "singularity," presumably due to her being the only Lily to possess all 7 offensive subskills.- Chihiro is revealed to be a Boosted Lily - The Flowers are suggested to be recovering somewhat from their berserk state so we might see them again eventually in a sequel

https://dynasty-scans.com/series/assault_lily_wunderApparently the fan translation of Wunder is completed. I didn't read this because I have the original novel but it might be of interest to those who don't/can't. Misaka is the POV character for most of the plot so it links up well with the New Chapter play.Other pairings of note include Altea/Momiji, Misaka/Touka and Chihana/Touka (Touka's complex over/"breakup" with Chihana is a significant point in her backstory).
>You filthy vixen!!>I won't give her even if I die!!
>>4119614You forgot to add the note that these are actual lines from the show.That said, Fumi's infodump/commentary last night does contextualise Chihiro's behavior and reactions to Misaka and Touka though. Plus she was expected to awaken to Lunatic Trancer if she hadn't died the first time and Lunatic Trancer users are not known for mental or emotional stability (Yuyu, the twins, Kurena, etc) plus a they have a tendency to imprint on their loved ones.

https://youtu.be/u0BPuhsYASg> Moyu's not-alcohol strikes againDrunk Fuuka is hilarious but Mitake playing along with her whiny baby demands is actually really sweet of her.

>>4159202https://twitter.com/assaultlily_st/status/1767022633995079935Soraha was just announced as a "special appearance". The cast list shows Tsuda Minami, her voice actress, so it's not clear yet whether the appearance is voice-only or if she will be making a physical appearance.Tsuda was quite clueless about what happened in the previous show when she was on the Last Bullet stream, so she likely has to do a fair bit of homework and get caught up.
Unexpected minori
Kind of surprised there is.no mention of.the upcoming global version of.the mobage in thid thread
>>4189299Didn't know. I'd play if I had more time, but it's not like the gameplay is something that's actually enjoyable.
>>4190169It's kind of funny how this series shows these 2 as a real possibility and not in the way other series do with "they satisfy everyone and no one at the same time"
