Hello, how are you today? |
YOSHIE
|
Fine thanks. |
TAN
|
Tira is one of my favorites because she’s so cute. Her weapon is one big blade. So, how does she hold it? Do her gloves protect her hands?
 |
YOSHIE
|
Um...yeah. Well, the inside of the Ring Blade is not an edge. |
TAN
|
If the inside was a blade, that would be scary. Tira is very moody, why's that? |
YOSHIE
|
Tira is emotionally unstable, so that’s why she’ll start sulking after she loses, then all of a sudden lighten up. She's just a hard person to deal with.
  |
TAN
|
Emotionally unstable? ! Interesting. Sounds like she would be quite difficult to date then? |
YOSHIE
|
Yeah, I don’t think I'd want to.
|
TAN
|
Her moves are really cute though. |
YOSHIE
|
Yes, we used gymnastic moves as the base for all her motions, so she is very fluid and feminine. |
TAN
|
I’m looking forward to seeing her in action!
Next up is Setsuka. If you were kicked by one of her geta sandals, it's sure gonna hurt. Her design concept is sort of like an oiran, which is a top ranking geisha, right?
 |
YOSHIE
|
Her base is an oiran, but the Queen of Hearts is also one of her themes. It's an East-meets-West type of concept. |
TAN
|
The Queen of Hearts? Really? Come to think of it, if you look closely, there are heart-like figures all over the place. |
YOSHIE
|
Yeah, the ornament on her breast, her gauntlet, and even her hair is sort of shaped like a heart.
 
 |
TAN
|
She has that dangerous sexy look, but also very cute. I think her weapon is very intriguing, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how she'll use it. |
YOSHIE
|
Yeah, well I’m also looking forward to finishing her! |
TAN
|
Finally, the mystery man, Zasalamel. Doesn’t he look like Mr. Sumioka from the motion team? |
YOSHIE
|
Zasalamel looks like Sumioka to me only because everyone keeps on saying they look alike.
  |
TAN
|
Hahaha. Sumioka started wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, and now he looks even more like Zasalamel. And it was just coincidence that he’s also working on Zasalamel’s motions. |
YOSHIE
|
It was fate, I suppose. I'm looking forward to seeing his cool moves! |
TAN
|
This is the first time that we've had such a macho-looking character. Oh yeah, what’s up with his left eye?
|
YOSHIE
|
He has the ability to reincarnate, and the left eye retains his soul. So even if he reincarnates into another body, his left eye will remain the same color. |
TAN
|
Really? So he could have been a woman in the past? |
YOSHIE
|
It's possible I suppose.
If he were to live in present day, I envision him being a rap MC. |
TAN
|
That’s neat. I would buy his CD. Is that an MP3 player on his hip then?
 |
YOSHIE
|
No no, it contains incense. He uses it to send the dead to the afterlife.
|
TAN
|
What is he, the grim reaper? |
