Welcome back to another Heaven Burns Thread, where main story is all we get!5.3 on JP, 5.2 on EN. It's about to go down.The truth event was quite impactful and surprisingly funny and gay and people are now looking forward to the status quo change of a lifetime.Hopefully HBR will get even better in the new year!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpYczrVgOWEChristmas stream which is also a new chapter update stream.Well we are starting strong. Admiral Yuina and white suit Ruka. Now that is a one-two combo.
The new cover art is... I dont even know whose death flags are worse. Tezuka or Yuina.
I will be honest, I was the least excited waiting for white suit Ruka, but FUCK she is too cool. This is a protagonist style and what she deserves.
This is the one time Yuina should absolutely get a style. The knight motif is also very obviously perfect what with the whole Jeanne d'arc angle.
>>4508721So we get a new battle mechanic, a elemental gauge you fill over time. And when it hits 100% it gives bonus stats?
100 free pulls nice~
>>4508726She literally has a homescreen voiceline where she says during their wedding Yukki will have to wear the dress, because she wears the suit hahahahah
>>4508723Tezuka looks like she has space aids and is fighting because her time limit is up (does that mean every character has a time limit) And Yuina... Is confirmed as Jeanne and she remembers getting burnt to death. I don't know how to feel about that if the Jeanne thing is true. There's some ways they can explain it but I don't know if I like any of them
>>4508741The Jeanne d'Arc thing doesnt seem that hard to justify. If her corpse has somehow been preserved, then they could have had access to her DNA. And if her soul never went to heaven, because of her death, it's even easier to see how it could have been implanted in the narby.But yeah, the fact that they managed to brainwash a completely new personality and past into her seems very crazy. Maybe it's something weirder... maybe there really is a Yuina Shirakawa and that girl is Jeanne d'Arc's reincarnation? So they just narby's Yuina, but Yuina is still connected to her past life as Jeanne.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZDCLseRbqUHere is the 5.3 trailer at least. If you pay attention it seems Tezuka is reverting into her narby state, so that either implies a general hito-narby time limit or something specific to Tezuka.Note that she uses three different Seraphs, which just opens up so many questions. Either she is using her fallen comrades weapons or she actually got reincarneted into several narbies repeatedly somehow...
>>4508745That boss Cancer honestly doesn't look like the Mother Cancer, does it? That rail gun like move that basically works as mini meteor impact is insanely cool, but it somehow does not feel like the final boss anyway. Some people speculated that the entire landmass they fight on is just the Mother Cancer, which could imply that anything growing from it is like its defense system. In that case it could actually be true.
>>4508709Reminder to all JP anons that when the chapter drops tomorrow we need to use spoilers for all 5.3 talk at least for a month. Please give everyone the time to play it at their own pace without spoilers.Also Merry Christmas
>>4508748Are you still expecting anything worth putting in a spoiler to happen?
>>4508755I am shocked someone as stupid as you still wastes your time coming here to shitpost about a game you never played. Go back to whatever dumpster board you crawled out of. You will just get deleted and banned again like every year, so let's cut to the chase and get to end result.
>>4508726>>4508727>>4508728Ok in some more detail, both of these are actually Admiral styles which is insane. And the elemental gauge seems to be specific to them.When the elemental gauge and the OD bar are both full, there will be insane elemental burst damage apparently.They have been trying really hard to make elemental style relevant ever since crit pierce kinda blew the meta out of it hinges last year and I think by now there are actually enough incentives to play elemental teams again, even if we ignore the e-shields.
Plot and gameplay are fine and well, but can we acknowledge how insanely the animation has improved over time. I still remember JP forums dissing chapter 3's animations for being "ugly". Now it's all smooth and amazing. The fight choreography also vastly improved.
>>4508774Pretty sure this pic related is made by Graphinica because it looks like their Ruka model.
>>4508828Yes, all the cutscenes seem to be done by them. It's quite an interesting jump from music videos to battle choreography though.
>>4508830Graphinica only does one or two cutscenes by chapter (Megumin bus scene, Ruka diving scene, 5.2 intro scene).Stealth Works does all the big Cancer boss with insane amount of particles.WFS handle all the other ones (in-engine cutscenes).
>>4508848Uh sure whatever you say, but this is very clearly the entire climax, animated by them and even a much earlier combat scene also completely animated by them.Unless you imply this was all done by Stealth Works?
