Sakura (True) Route OP

Schnee Kristall//Kurobane Sayuki Route OP

Ahorn der Flamme//Satomura Momiji Route OP


First and foremost, THE STORY IS AWESOME! Yes, there are battles here and there, and this game has so many badass weapons. Story and character-wise, just that the ending is so-so for me, but definitely satisfying. One of the best stories out there, at least in it's genre. A bit generic, but the writing is what made it really good. Just watching all that 5 OP makes you want to play it. 

I'm playing nächsten Phase, it's the 18+ remake of the previous all-ages version, fortissimo//Akkord:Bsusvier. As for the changes, the protagonist is fully voiced now, they added new characters, Hscenes, and separate routes for Sayuki and Momiji since many fans cried as to why there were no routes for the other heroines in Akkord:Bsusvier because of only following Sakura's True Route. I mean... there's no damn Hscene, that's a turn off despite having so many colorful and delicious heroines.


Let's move on to the story.

Our protagonist, Yoshino Reiji returns to the island of Tsukuyomi. It's the island where he grew up. Reminiscing the old times, he wanders around the island but got lost in the shopping mall called Milky Way which was opened when Reiji left the island. There, he met a girl named Nagisa, and asks her for directions. Apparently, Nagisa is lost too, so they both agreed to hang out for a bit.

Finally arriving to his house, her sister named Sayuki welcomed him. In the next day, he met his childhood friend, Ryuuichi, who was also transferring to the same class as him. He also met his ex-girlfriend, Miki, who he still liked till now, and had a new girl, Momiji who fell for him at first sight in Milky Way.

When he was invited for a date by Momiji, and during their first date, he did not know about the battle royale set up by Odin in the island, and it began right before he was just about to reply to Momiji's confession.

Unfortunately, Reiji was also another participant in the battle royale called “Ragnarok” where 12 magic summoners fight to survive
, and Momiji reluctantly tried to kill him in order to survive. Then his sister, Sayuki appeared to save him, and the battle continued.

When Reiji regained his consciousness, he made the resolve and decision to fight, he summoned a girl who is supposed to be his 
“Strategic Destructive Magical Arm” or Magic Armament for short, known as Sakura.

Now that Reiji awakened as the 13th Magician known as “Loki”, how will Ragnarok continue? Can Reiji defeat Odin and save his friends from dying? The battle royale continues.


The game makes use of a dual protagonist system. They allow you to choose between Reiji, and Ryuuichi since they are both the main protagonists. Though, like any other visual novels with dual protagonist system, there's the main and the sub protagonist. While Reiji is no doubt the True Protagonist”, I couldn't say the same with Ryuuichi since he was killed along the way.

The chuuni terms are quite confusing too. They pronounce it using Katakana while defining it with Hiragana. It's a bit awkward to read, like how they pronounce Ai Space, yet define it as “Eternal Illusion”. I don't really mind though since there's a built in battle stats and dictionary.


Yoshino Reiji


Reiji is the true protagonist of the story. He's an orphan who lost both of his parents in the 10-year war, which occurred 16 years ago. He might look average, but no, he's badass. He deeply cares for his friends and doesn't hesitate to stand up for them should they come in harm's way.

His father, Yoshino Sousei is actually alive. He's known as Odin, the main antagonist of the story.


Reiji's main Magic Armament is Sakura, and he basically supports her during battle. Given the magic rune “Da Capo”, (The Restored World) whose ability is to summon anyone he meets, and restore object to it's original state within 24 hours frame. He has a very high mana capacity and can combine it with his close-combat skills. Another fact is that Reiji is an irregular, which means he's not bounded by the rules of Ragnarok and thus can use Da Capo outside Ai Space.


Support Abilities are weak? Who ever said his abilities are all support types? He has offensive runes too, “Fenriswolf” (Blue Spear of Divine Wolf Fist).


He got more new skills in Sakura's route. “Da Capo Curtain Call” (Restored World, Restored Memories) which basically brought everyone back to fight alongside with him.


In the conclusion with Odin, he awaken to his true powers called “Da Capo Zero” (Original Restored World) which nullifies anything and everything, it's like a power up version of Touma's Imagine Breaker. Anyhow, not even Odin who's immortal can stand a chance against a power that reduces anything to nothingness.

I am Loki, the one who rules all of this world

After finishing Sakura's route, he changed his name to “Loki” and crossed to other worlds to prevent the same tragedy from happening again.

*He saved Sayuki and Momiji in their routes.


Sumeragi Ryuuichi


“The other protagonist”, Ryuuichi is the childhood friend of Reiji and Nagisa. Like Reiji, he too lost his parents in the war, but was adopted and traveled around the world with his foster father(later known as Odin). He has a strong sense of justice, a trait which is opposite to Reiji.


Power and Speed are a bit overkill. If it's normal one-on-one battle, Ryuuichi wouldn't lose to anyone. He's the strongest Magic Summoner known as “Thor”. Not only his battle stats are good, but he is also skilled with martial arts. His Magic Armament are Jarngreipr (One that Crushes Lightning) his gauntlet, Mjollnir (Hammer of Thor) his black glove, and Megingjero (Belt of Thor) his bandana which helps him generate lightning power. Basically, he turns into Super-Saiyan.

He has a good defensive rune called “Turbulence” (Gale Thunder) which allows him to move at lightning speed. His offensive rune is called “Thor Hammer” (Lightning that Penetrates All) 


In the later part of the story, he uses his ultimate rune called “Thor Hammer Full Access” (Nine Lightning that Transcends All) combined with “Nothung” (Nine Worlds) which makes the enemy unable to evade or block. It's a one-hit skill.
   

Ryuuichi was defeated by Reiji in the Sakura's route. He was also killed by Odin in Sayuki's route, but he manage to survive in Momiji's route.

He's pretty much treated as some kind of power-up material for Reiji, especially in Sakura's route where Reiji awakens to powerful runes.


Sakura


Sakura is the True Heroine of the story, and Reiji's Magic Armament. She was summoned when Reiji made a decision to participate in the Ragnarok. She's pretty childish, and gets really excited when she finds something new. She actually has the same face as Reiji's dead mother, who's also named Sakura. She's voiced by Tachibana Aya, the current vocalist of Fripside.



Sakura's power comes from the Sun Light, she can easily charge her main rune called “Laevateinn” (Sacred Sword of the Untainted Blossom Light) a beam light that's very destructive and is said to hold a power capable of destroying the world. Though, it takes time to charge Laevateinn, and she can't spam it because she will run out of mana and will eventually die.


She has a counterpart for that, a defensive or safety lock within her to help her recover mana called “Laegjarn” (The Released Nine Keys). Since Reiji is a very good tactician, she has another rune called “Mimisbrunnr” (Anti-Tactics) which allows her to record details and information of the opponent's magic/rune.

Here's a godlike rune which is only shown in her route, it's a powerful version of Laevateinn called “Dual Laevateinn” (Multi-Dimensional Refraction Magic Cannon) which allows her to shoot 7 Laevateinn with Laegjarn completely unlocked.

Nagisa was able to survive her Dual Laevateinn in the final round, thus manage to turn things around. When Sakura was overwhelmed by Nagisa, she used her final rune called  “Dimension Mirage” (And Then, There Were None) which uses refraction of light to create an illusion to mislead her existence.


SHE. IS. TOO. DAMN. POWERFUL. AND. OVERPOWERED. PERIOD. 

Suzushiro Nagisa


Nagisa is Ryuuichi's childhood friend and Momiji's best friend. She develops romantic feelings toward Ryuuichi after being defeated in her childhood, and now she has affections for him and decided to convey her feelings when Ryuuichi comes back to Tsukuyomi Island. Like how Ryuuichi is a sub protagonist, Nagisa too is a sub heroine. She's doesn't have her own route, but she did have some sort of mini-route, with Hscenes and stuffs with Ryuuichi in the true route.


She first awakened her power when she and Momiji was dragged into Ai Space to battle with Hagane and Jin who're targeting Momiji. Mojimi tried to protect Nagisa who was unaware of the situation they're in, but was knocked unconscious before the crushing power of Hagane. Unwilling to abandon her friend, Nagisa awakened as the Sacred Sword Svarfrlami's wielder, officially participating in the survival game. 

Activating the rune called “Sacred Waltz” (Magical Weapon White Eyes), she too becomes a Super Saiyan like Ryuuichi.

Her main offensive rune is called “Tyrfing” (Golden Pledge) which released a golden slash that will cut through anything. It's feared as a conceptual rune, that's why she's able to cut through Todoroki, even though Jin already used his Arcadia Jinx on him whereby her attacks will not reach him.



Nagisa has another special rune called Hlidskjalf” (Four-Dimensional Vision) which allows her to see a few seconds into the future, thus enabling her to think of a better strategy against her enemy.

In Sakura’s route, during her final battle with Sakura, she managed to survive Sakura's ultimate rune Dual Laevateinn thanks to a defensive rune called Trickster Deprives (The Blessings of the Whimsy Battle Maiden) that lets her creates miracles that defy reality. She made a comeback and turn the tables with Sakura by using a rune called Achilles' Paradox (Infinite Corridor of Limited Killing) allowing her to turn any attack to nothing and also use it on herself to prevent herself from dying after 3 shots of Tyrfing. In the end, she was defeated by Sakura's Dimension Mirage.

After Ryuuichi's death, she was the last opponent in Ragnarok. While Reiji went to fight Odin, Sakura on the other hand faced Nagisa, but in the end got defeated.


Nagisa became Schwarzritter” in Momiji’s route and fought with her. Though, she eventually destroyed her own Svarfrlami to save Momiji, and Momiji even used her Svarfrlami to fight against Jin in the Finale.


Kurobane Sayuki


Sayuki is Reiji's sister. As as you can see, they're not related by blood. She's also in the age and studies in the same school with him. She's my favorite heroine tied with Momiji, I mean imouto-types are always my favorite by default, not to mention she's white-haired. She's cool-dere who likes cats, she's also very athletic. She has a very large rivalry against Momiji as the two of them never agree with each other, especially if it involves Reiji.


Sayuki is a long range Magic Summoner. She wields dual handguns as her Magic Armament called “Utamaru” (White Gun) and “Archimedes” (Black Gun).

She has a defensive rune called “Flugel Blitz” (Instant Magic Exchange), she increases her body capacity and moves faster(similar to Ryuuichi's Turbulence).

One of her offensive runes is called “Weiss Schwarz” (Black and White) which fires a shot like homing bullet that will track and recognize the sound generated by her opponent.


Her ultimate rune is called “Sturm Kreuz” (Meteor of Right and Wrong Mortality) in which she create magical bullets high in the air while not detonating any of them. When the necessary number of bullets is achieved, she lets all of them fall down the enemy like a devastating black and white downpour of energy. It takes a great time to prepare, and similar toGilgamesh's Gate of Babylon.


In her route, she was so overpowered. In the final fight against Odin, she awakens her Second Access and gains leg equipment called “Skoll” (White Foot Armor) and “Hati” (Black Foot Armor). This made her even more stronger, faster, and aggressive.


Even in her Second Access and paired up with Momiji, they still weren't able to defeat Odin. Loki saves them from Odin's attack and helped her restore her Magic Armament's fully awakened true form called “Lindworm” (Dragon), it's a black and white handgun that contains mixed power of Utamaru, Archimedes, Skoll, and Hati which owned the living shit out of Odin.


In the true route, she was killed by Momiji in the Seventh Round. When she was about to disappear, Reiji appears and catches her before falling to the ground. Reiji tells Sayuki that he will restore her with Da Capo, but Sayuki tells him that it is too late which upsets him. Sayuki tells Reiji that though it was short, the time she spent with him was precious, she tells him that he has Sakura and is not alone, she asks him to protect the island she loves before vanishing. Yes, it was quite a tearjerker scene ;__;


Satomura Momiji


Momiji is Nagisa's best friend and classmate together with Reiji, and Ryuuichi. She's the best girl in the story. Her first appearance was when she hit on Reiji because of “Love at first sight”. I laughed my brains out when she said she was doing it for the first time, even Reiji thought she was a swindler. She's kind to her friends, especially to her best friend, Nagisa. She is not interested in guys and will not even bother to care about them, but Reiji is an exception because she fell for him at first sight and Ryuuichi because of Nagisa. She flirts a lot with Reiji and especially hates Sayuki for reasonsand when she realizes that Sayuki was Reiji's sister, she became more aggressive in trying to win Reiji's affections. 

P.S. I'm wondering why she isn't the true heroine despite having so much screen time than the actual true heroine of the story.


Momiji’s Magic Armament is called “Grimoire (Seven Deadly Sins). She has seven different colored crystals that have different power and effects.

  • Superbia (Lucifer), it represents “Pride”, a red colored crystal which fires a beam and will take away opponent’s sense of smell when hit.
  • Invidia (Leviathan) it represents “Envy”,  orange colored crystal which can take away the opponent’s sense of proprioception.
  • Ira (Satan) it represents “Wrath”, a yellow colored crystal which can take away the sense of vision.
  • Acedia (Belphegor) it represents “Sloth”, a green colored crystal which can take away the sense of hearing.
  • Avaritia (Mammon) it represents “Greed”, a light blue colored crystal which can take away the sense of feel.
  • Gula (Beelzebub) it represents “Gluttony”, a blue colored crystal which can take away the sense of smell.
  • Luxuria (Asmodeus) it represents “Lust”, a purple colored crystal which can take away the sense of pain.
Her offensive rune is called “Judgement” (Aurora of Condemnation), she charges her mana and fires rainbow-colored beam. The power of Judgement is dependent on how many sins the opponent has bore, the more sins, the stronger it is. She can also charge for even more longer period of time for a even more powerful strike.


Even if she all her crystals are destroyed, she can still restore them, because of a rune called L’Arc-en-Ciel (The Seven Condemnation).

In her battle with Sayuki in the true route, Momiji was supposed to be defeated after Sayuki destroyed all her crystals, but she used L’Arc-en-Ciel” to restore it and thus defeating Sayuki instead.

She also has another rune called Gleipnir (The Lock of Desire for Atonement), it takes form of a series of magical chains surrounding the target of binding. This ability locks on a one target and condemn it every time it collides with Momiji's attack. Once the target is condemned seven times, the eight attack will be a certain kill.

In her route, she defeated Nagisa who became 
Scwarzritter”, and she acquire her Svarfrlami, she later used it against Jin and almost killed him.


Just like in Sayuki's route, she wasn't able to completely defeat Jin. Running out of Mana and nowhere to run, she mutters Reiji's name asking him to save her, then Loki appeared and rescues her. Loki defeats Jin by annihilating his existence.


In the true route, she was defeated by Reiji in the Eight Round. Finding it unforgivable, Reiji refuses to let Momiji's life end so tragically, he pores all of his energy into Da Capo and succeeds in saving her from death, and manage to revert Momiji back to a normal girl. With Ai Space gone, Reiji asks her to let him shoulder the burden of her sins with her. Momiji lets out all of her feelings, stating that she loves Nagisa, Ryuichi, and Reiji and wants to continue living with them. 


Yay, Momiji lives! Thank God! But NOOOOOOOOOOOO! As Ai Space reappears again, Momiji is struck to the ground by a red spear(Odin's Gungnir”) and is on the verge of death once again. Reiji uses Da Capo with all the magic he has left supporting it, but it is not enough. Momiji asks him to protect Nagisa before she vanishes ;_;

Well, that's not how you treat a heroine, dammit ;___;

Overall, the story is AWESOME. I recommend it to anyone who loves this particular kind of genre. I mean, c'mon, just watching those 5 OP's makes you want to play it. Heck the balance of RomCom and Chuuni is so great that despite how serious the situation is, it can still manage to make you laugh so hard. They really know how liven things up.

Looking back at the August Release, yep quite disappointing. I only have my eyes on Gahkthun FD, but it's not out yet, so I'll probably play 君と彼女と彼女の恋。 next. I heard it's quite a nightmare, though I already knew since it was quite hyped when it was released.



HHHHHGGGGGGNNNNNNNHHHHHHHHHH
