Episode 160: Day 1 Battles
Returning to the arena after checking that Lucy is okay after her fight with Flare, Natsu joins Erza and Elfman and the others to watch the remaining three battles of the day.
Chapati: Now it's Ren Akatsuki from Blue Pegasus VS Arãna Webb from Mermaid Heel!
On the battlefield, Ren and Araña stand guarding their ground.
Ren: You really have improve.
Arãna: Same to you.
Jenny: Go, Ren! Win this for Blue Pegasus!
Sherry: Please don't lose! I'll be cheering for you!
Seeing Ren become distracted by this, Araña moves to attack.
Arãna: Web Shot!
Web Shot is an unnamed Thread Magic Spell. The user crosses their arms, with the left one on top and the right one below it, and then generates webs from their hands which grow in size as they move away from the spot where they're produced. Such webs can entangle targets through their sticky properties.[1]
Ren: (grunts)
(eyecatch begins and ends)
Sherry: Ren! Please don't give up!
Ooba: Stop cheering the rival team! Do you want me to spin ya'?!
Sherry: I don't care! Me and him are engaged!
Ren: We aren't engaged. We're rather just stuck together. But I won't look lame in front of my beloved Sherry. Aerial Phose!
Aerial Phose (エアリアルフォーゼ Eariaru Fōze) is an Air Magic Spell. After swinging both of their hands in a circular motion around their body, the user pulls their target towards them, before enveloping them in a sphere like cyclone to inflict damage as well as destroy any surrounding obstacles.[1]
Arãna: Huh?! (screaming)
Luna: Ren wins~dana!
Sherry: That's my Ren! You did good!
Mato: Here's your Mermaid Badge from Mermaid Heel!
Ren: Thanks.
Benio: How dare he defeat our members!
Chizuru: That's rude!
Rachnera: (wearing a spider-shaped Mermaid Heel symbol on her back (center)) Calm down, Master Benio. We'll defeat those pegasus at round 2. It's not over yet.
Rachnera Arachnera (ラクネラ・アラクネラ, Rakunera Arakunera) is an Arachne and the sixth girl to move in with Kimihito and fifth girl to officially do so. Due to their fear of her, her original host family had sold her off to "Mr. Director", who used her and her webbing to make money. This along with his cruel behavior left her with a deep hatred for humans. This was changed after she abducted Kurusu and finds out that he is a decent person who doesn't discriminate against non-humans. Since then, Rachnera has been flirting with Kurusu while facing her fellow monster girls in the house, especially Miia and Centorea Shianus who see her as their eternal love rival for Kurusu. Rachnera is an attractive young woman with short lavender hair with bangs covering the right side of her face. She has six pupil-less, monochromatic red eyes and her teeth are all fangs. Her most noticeable physical trait is the lower half of her body which is that of a giant spider adorned with a large skull design on its back. She has black carapace covering her arms from the shoulders down, and gauntlet-like plating on her hands that end in sharpened points. Her fingers are also very long. Her attire consists of a halter top that reveals a good deal of the lower half of her large breasts and her entire waist, shoulder-less sleeves, and a shirt, all black with a gold and slightly-frilly white trim. Most of Rachenra's personality seems to be determined by her bad experiences with Humans. Because of this, she initially hated Humans, and believed them all to be hypocrites. Rachnera was convinced that, at heart, Humans were mean-spirited creatures and that any form of kindness was simply a "mask" they wore. While she believed this to be true of Kimihito as well, she was shocked to find out his kindness was genuine. This changed her outlook significantly, though it did not completely change her.[1] Despite this, Rachnera is still a cynical person at heart, such as when she believed that, as a male, Kimhito would inevitably cheat on his home-stays.[2] One of the biggest impacts her past had on her is that Rachnera greatly dislikes any form of dishonesty. No matter how ugly the truth is, Rachnera would still prefer it over pleasant lies. This is demonstrated when she managed to goad Cerea into admitting she hates her. Rachnera was actually happy with this, despite Cerea standing up for her to Miia earlier. Rachnera told Cerea that if she dislikes her (Rachnera) than she should do so openly.[3] One way to make her genuinely angry is to mock her history and motivations.[4] She seems to have somewhat sadistic nature, judging how she delighted in wrapping her webbing around her former host.[5] She also enjoyed torturing Lilith in sexually suggestive ways after Lilith broke down Rachnera's personality and history and mocked it.[4] In a much minor degree, Rachnera also enjoys riling people up, frequently purposefully saying the right thing to make them angry. She has a very easy target with both Miia and Centorea, due to their mutual dislike for her.[2] Notwithstanding her unsettling appearance, Rachnera possesses a very seductive personality and consistently demonstrates far more confidence and experience in her efforts to woo Kimihito than her fellow tenants (particularly when compared with Miia's suffocating displays of affection and Cerea's bashful, prudish nature). Likewise, Rachnera is the most openly perverted, and the one who most openly enjoys (accidental) perversity on Kimhito's part.[1] From what is shown, Rachnera greatly enjoys bondage, getting a great kick from tying her victims up in her own webbing, both sexually and non-sexually.[3][4] She is also a skilled Dominatrix, as she was capable of turning Lilith into her personal sex toy. She also mentioned that she considers both Kimihito and Cerea her "toys".[4] However, dealing with both Papi and Suu in the others' absence proved to be too exhausting even for her.[6] She is also revealed to be somewhat obsessive about perfecting her bondage technique, which annoys most of the other monster girls (except Suu, who cannot be bound, and Mero, who rather shamefully enjoys it) to varying degrees [7], though she seems to have exempted Kimihito from being webbed up in this fashion. However, she seems to include every monster girl who lives in Kimihito's home or is a possible rival as fair game, a fact that has Lala more than a little scared of her.[8] She is implied to be somewhat lazy, and can frequently be seen slacking off. [9][4] However, even despite her sinister traits, it is clear Rachnera's the most mature of all the home-stays, and can quickly discard her playful attitude and become very serious if the situation calls for it.[10] Ironically, despite being built like a dangerous predator, Rachnera has great self-restraint, and Kimihito even noted that she's the only member of the household who has never genuinely harmed or endangered him, even by accident.[10] Despite all this, according to Lilith, Rachnera's personality is merely a façade she puts up. Rachnera pretends to be uncaring, while in reality she is afraid of being rejected again for her features, and that she is very self-conscious about her appearance. Rachnera's angry reaction implies that there is some truth to those words.[4] It's unknown how much Rachnera's personality differed before her bad experiences, if at all, but considering she seemed to wear more conservative clothing back then it suggests she may have changed a lot.[1] Rachnera possesses incredible speed. She was capable of moving from the floor of a warehouse to the ceiling in seconds, despite carrying someone with her. She is also fast as she was capable of kidnapping Kimihito in front of his own home in broad daylight without anyone noticing.[1] She was also capable of tying up multiple people in her silk before they even had time to react.[6] She's even fast enough to dodge bullets.[3] Like regular spiders, Rachnera and other Arachnes get intoxicated when they ingest caffeine.[11] Rachnera's reflexes are so good, that combined with her speed she was able to dodge a sniper rifle bullet. It should be noted that the person who fired was Manako, who's an expert marksman. [3] Due to her Arthropod nature, Rachnera is very sensitive to both high and low temperatures. Higher heat or cold that beings like humans or Centaurs would still be comfortable with would already be too extreme for Rachnera. Due to this, she cannot tolerate hot baths or snow very well. While it's unknown if she's cold blooded, she will enter hibernation if the surrounding temperature is too low.[12] Rachenra is capable of spinning very fine silk webs. The silk's strength is questionable, on one hand, Kurusu was able to bite through it, suggesting it is not as strong as its animal counterpart. On the other hand, it was capable of lifting Centorea.[3] And several thin, invisible strands were able to support Luz Ninetei's full weight.[13] It should be noted that when Kimihito bit through it, it was a small strand supporting his weight, and he was probably pumped with adrenaline from Rachnera's "torture".[5][1] Due to the fact that Arachne's seem to be one of the more monstrous Extraspecies, she can be quite intimidating to humans who have no experience dealing with them. Rachnera's fully aware of this and actually knows how to make herself as intimidating as possible, to the point where she can make a Human faint out of pure terror. This is quite useful, as it allows her to take down Humans without actually harming them, thereby not breaking any laws.[3] Rachnera is able to use her threads to manipulate a person's movements to an extent. With a few small, invisible threads she was able to nimbly move Luz through the air in a way that gave of the illusion the Kitsune was actually flying.[13] She is also very stealthily, easily spying on both the rest of the harem, Kimihto and Ms Smith without being detected by either of them.[2] This, combined with her great speed, allows her to vanish almost instantly from any location without anybody noticing, or suddenly appear out of nowhere.[3] Rachnera is very competent with weaving her own silk. Ranging from rapidly tying multiple people up, to weaving it in such a way she can completely immobilize a Centaur, to making objects such as swings and hammocks out of it, to making her own clothing out of it.[3][6][2]
Satsuki: Rachnera's right. It's not over yet. We should send out Asuna.
Asuna: That's a good idea. I won't let you down.
Wakana: (wearing a green cat-shaped Mermaid Heel symbol on her left hand) Go get them, Asuna!
Wakana Morizono is a 14-year old girl in 8th grade with a Ethnic-type style. She is a member of the rival team that confronts Prism Stone. A girl who is always at Bell's side. She has the ability to fortune tell with Prism Stones, and also to feel the "wind" of music. She sees herself as Ann's rival. Her Prism Live instrument is the xylophone. Her love interest is her childhood friend, Kazuki Nishina. Wakana has long green hair tied into two buns resembling cat ears. Sometimes, Wakana is seen with straight hair. Her eyes are round, somewhat thin, and dark purple in color. Wakana is a very loud and passionate character. She can be rude at times and takes her rivalry with Ann Fukuhara very seriously, even though she is far more skilled at Prism Shows. Wakana is usually relaxed when she's around Bell, and she is also constantly energetic, even with a family of poor positivity. She is easily nervous under pressure which is normally caused by Bell. In fact, Wakana used to be very calm and reserved. She gets good test scores because her father is strict and her Prism Shows is expected Edel Rose student. Wakana also sticks around and cares for Bell very much, because she's the only one who's seen her weakness and even asked her parents to not move out when she started getting along with her. Wakana can perform Prism Shows skillfully, as the 2nd best Prism Star at Edel Rose, staying only behind Bell Renjouji. At Over the Rainbow Session, Wakana tried to jump her 7th consecutive Prism Jumps but failed. Wakana can do 6 consecutive prism jumps. With Ann, Wakana can do 4 duo jumps.
Asuna: Right!
(eyecatch begins and ends)
Peridot: Temari, you're up! Make sure you get another Mermaid Badge!
Temari: (wearing a yellow star-shaped Blue Pegasus symbol on her neck) I know, I know. I already got this. Don't worry.
Temari (テマリ, Temari) is a kunoichi from Sunagakure and the eldest of the Three Sand Siblings. Temari is a prudent, stoic, and blunt individual who is rarely afraid to speak her mind (something she would pass on to her son). In Part I, Temari was rather dismissive with a cruel streak which was demonstrated when her brother Gaara killed Team Shigure; she simply smiled and waved goodbye to them before they were crushed.[8] She seems to value peace, as she questioned the reasoning of starting a war with Konoha in Part I. During the Chūnin Exams, it is revealed that the one person she is afraid of is Gaara. When Gaara and Kankurō were fighting, she showed a light, happy, mood to make sure Gaara didn't harm her or Kankurō. In Part II, Temari acts as a diplomatic liaison between Sunagakure and Konohagakure to prepare for the next Chūnin Exams. Like Kankurō, her relationship with Gaara has greatly improved after Gaara sought redemption after being enlightened by Naruto. In the short time between then and the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, she no longer expressed fear around Gaara, having been one of the first to accept the newly reformed Gaara. When Gaara was captured by the Akatsuki, Temari hurried back to the village to save him. When Kankurō was poisoned, she watched over him until he had recovered. Temari frequently appears alongside Shikamaru Nara. Though they were opponents during the Chūnin Exams, they came to each others' aid at different points in Part I. When Naruto returned to Konoha at the start of Part II and saw the two of them walking together, he asked them if they were on a date, which both of them denied.[9] Despite her usual tough demeanour, she has a tendency to show a softer nature around Shikamaru. Some examples include showing sympathy for him after his father scolded him for questioning if he should be a ninja after the Sasuke Uchiha rescue mission failed.[10] Later, after Shikamaru had escorted her to the village gates near the beginning of Part II, she told him that he should take his duties more seriously, and to quickly become a jōnin like herself.[11] This theme was continued when she was assigned to the Fourth Division of the Allied Shinobi Forces with Shikamaru. She tells him to "look alive" and act more like a leader now that he was essentially the division's acting general in Gaara's place.[12] In the anime, it is implied that Temari has a crush on Shikamaru, as she became very flustered when Yukata and Matsuri made note of it.[6] This would turn out to be true, as after the war, she would marry Shikamaru and give birth to their son Shikadai. She seems to be a fairly strict mother, as despite not saying anything about Shikadai skipping training, she sharply tells him to give his uncle, Gaara, a proper greeting. Temari bears great resemblance to her mother with her teal eyes and sandy blonde hair, which is gathered into four consecutive ponytails. In Part I, Temari's outfit consists of a single light purple-coloured, off-the-shoulders garment that extended to halfway down her thighs, with a scarlet sash tied around her waist. In addition to incorporating fishnet worn over her shoulders and legs, specifically on her right calf and her left thigh, she also wore her black forehead protector around her neck. During the Sasuke Recovery Mission and for the remainder of Part I, Temari wore a long-sleeved purple blouse under a grey top, a dark blue skirt, and a longer sash arranged in a bow. In Part II, Temari's attire is completely different, exchanging her previous purple-coloured kimono for a short-sleeved, black kimono that reaches down to her legs, with slits along the side and a more revealing neckline. While she retains a red sash tied around her waist, she now sports fingerless black gloves and wears her forehead protector on her forehead. When escorting Gaara to the Summit of the Five Kage, she wears mesh armour underneath a sleeveless, purple dress with a purple blouse over it, a purple sash around her waist, hand warmers and leg guards. She also carried a scroll in which she sealed her fan and instead opted to carry a smaller fan around with her. She is also seen in her previous outfit after the summit. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Temari, like all the other shinobi, don the standard attire of her village inclusive of a flak jacket. In The Last: Naruto the Movie, two years after the war, she is seen having bangs that fall to the right side of her face along with her hair, which is a bit longer, up in two ponytails. Her attire resembles the one she wore during the Sasuke Recovery Mission. Her clothing consists of a purple long-sleeved blouse with a high collar under a grey top, and a dark blue skirt with a split in the middle revealing her leggings. She wears fingerless gloves and her sandals are slightly different. Noticeably, she isn't wearing her forehead protector. After she settled down in Konohagakure and became a mother, and when off-duty, she would wear a simple dark purple kimono robe. She styles her hair back into four ponytails and would also begin to part her hair to the right. Being one of the Fourth Kazekage's children who underwent the grueling training of Sunagakure, Temari is a talented[4] and highly skilled kunoichi that specialises in long-range combat. Even as a genin, Temari easily managed to defeat her opponent Tenten during the Chūnin Exams and later kill Tayuya, the second strongest member of the Sound Four, both without a single scratch.[13][14] By Part II, she was promoted to the rank of jōnin, chosen to be a bodyguard of the Fifth Kazekage, and the leader of the group of shinobi who should deal with the Third Raikage during the Fourth Shinobi World War, further attesting to her abilities.
Rotaro: Kick their butt, Temari!
Amane: (wearing a pink Blue Pegasus symbol on his right arm) With her giant fan, Mermaid Heel will be blown away. She could be the perfect candidate to join my dance troupe. I could really use some fans for dancing!
Amane Nishiki is a playable character in BlazBlue: Chronophantasma. Amane is a young man who travels around, gathering a troupe of young and handsome men and beautiful women as he goes. Upon stumbling across the news that a cute vigilante boy was heading for Ikaruga, he immediately sets out to look for him. As he finally meets the boy, Carl Clover, Amane asks him to join his troupe, but Carl declines and runs away; Amane chases after him, however, and encounters Rachel, who is suspicious of his mysterious nature. As they engage in combat, they gain the respect of each other and Amane reveals his purposes: he claims that to dance on the greatest stage, also the greatest battlefield where greatest warriors gather is his wish. The majority of his troupe are orphans of war from around the world, which he has adopted. Amane is a friendly, respectful, and eccentric individual. He refers to battles as "dancing" and his gameplay style even resembles such. He is always on the lookout for possible fellow performers, asking both Ragna the Bloodedge and Carl Clover to join, being very persistent to have the latter do so. His subordinates greatly revere him and he in turn is shown to be very generous towards them, going so far as to treat them to a surprise vacation in the 7th Hierarchical City of Kazamotsu. He often addresses any individual he meets as "my dear". Despite his heavily female appearance, Amane's personality is fairly masculine. However, he can make rather careless mistakes at times and is rather slow at realizing his error, such as when he trained Bullet's squad dancing techniques for 3 days before realizing he made a mistake, having mixed up the words "troop" with "troupe". This is shown again during Noel Vermillion's arcade when he mistakes her for a cross-dressing boy. Amane Nishiki is an androgynous male character with violet hair tied in a bun and blue eyes with dark pink eye shadow and red lipstick. He wears a flowing pink and red kimono that exposes his shoulders underneath is sleeveless black skintight turtleneck, black shorts and legwarmers, and red platform sandals. He also sports a translucent pink scarf which appears to levitate through unknown means. In Story mode, Bullet states that he looks identical to his appearance 10 years prior. Pre-battle, Amane wears a royal white geisha outfit, underneath, he has a pink and red-colored checker pattern kimono. Amane has an unusual ability that allows him to form his clothing into various shapes, although whether this is the effect of an Armagus, magic or otherwise is unknown. His Drive, Spiral, utilizes his clothing into drills that increase in power with repeated use, going from Level 1 to a maximum of Level 3, at which point his Drive begins chipping away at the opponent's defenses at an alarming rate. However, using it too much can result in it becoming overheated and will become unusable until it cools down and restarts at Level 1. Amane's Overdrive, Cyclone, maximizes his Drive's Level for its duration. Amane could very well be an extremely powerful individual, casually brushing off the results of any fight he is in as if he was merely testing his opponent. In Bang's gag reel, Amane was able to withstand blistering heat, freezing cold, and electrocution without any lasting effects. It is highly implied that he is immortal due to his mysterious relationship with Rachel Alucard, his appearance having not changed for at least 10 years, and his ability to effortlessly shrug off a majority of damage inflicted upon him. Rachel also says that Amane is 'the Uzume', something that he is apparently unaware of, as well as this, Amane is the sole individual who is seen to be immune to Slave Red.
Rotaro: Why do you always talk about dance troops?
Amane: Because dancing is my passion. Ever since I was young, I was always dancing and I always wanted my own dance troupe. So I decided to travel the world to look for perfect candidates to join my dance troupe. Actually, Felicia from Sabertooth and Elena from Twilight Orge had agree to join my dance troupe but as long as they remain at their guilds. I can understand that. (sighs)
Rotaro: I... see...
Chapati: It's Asuna from Mermaid Heel VS Temari from Blue Pegasus! Begin!
Asuna: (charges) You're going down!
Temari: Not a chance! Wind Technique: Sickle Weasel!
Asuna: Huh?! (screaming)
Temari: I'm able to control the winds! You won't go near me without being blown away!
Asuna: (grunts)
(eyecatch begins and ends)
Temari: Wind Technique: Whirlwinds! (slices)
Asuna: I gotta get out of here!
Temari: What's the matter?! Cat got your tongue?! Wind Technique: Deadly Tornado!
Asuna: No~! (screaming)
Tomoyo: Temari wins.
Luna: That means we get another Mermaid Badge~dana!
Miria: That's how we do it!
Garnet: Yeah!
Sango: Way to go~nya!
Temari: Another badge for Blue Pegasus!
Crowd: (cheering)
Chizuru: We lost again!
Hinako: Even Asuna can't defeat her!
Benio: We have to train harder!
Satsuki: Calm down, Benibara-sama. We'll try again tomorrow.
Hanatsu: (wearing a white Mermaid Heel symbol on her back) Right. We only have 4 more days left. So we have plenty of time.
Mametsu: (wearing a hot pink Mermaid Heel symbol on her back) How 'bout we all calm down and drink a cup of tea?
Mametsu is a light pink Mermaid Exceed/Kamui hybrid and mascot of Mermaid Heel. She wears a long, silky blue skirt that exposes her side-legs and like a mermaid tail, pink eyes, a fish scale headband, and a golden blue mermaid-like bra. Mametsu is extremely polite, kind, intelligent, soft-spoken, helpful, and caring. She has the ability to transform into a mermaid either at will or splash by water. Like Shonetsu, she can manipulate the water.
Benio: Thank you, Mametsu.
Mametsu: Please, no problem.
(eyecatch begins and ends)
Parasoul: There's something creepy about that man in the bunny suit.
Ragna: I'll say. What's he hiding and who is he?
Nonon: Don't know. But I think he'll reveal himself once he starts fighting.
Momoyo: Totally agree on that.
Chapati: Here's the third battle! It's Team Quatro Cerberus' Warcry against Team Sabertooth's Orga Nanagear!
Shadetsu: Go, Orga! Show that dog what we're made of!
Frosch: Who'll win?
Lector: Are you serious?! Of course it'll be Sabertooth! That guy doesn't even have a chance!
Sting: This'll be interesting. I like Warcry's Magic!
Rogue: I'm uninterested on this battle. (leaves)
Shadetsu: Come on, Rogue! At least watch with us!
Rogue: Sorry but no.
Shadetsu: (sighs)
Hiketsu: I'll go with him. This battle is uninterested, either. (leaves)
Shadetsu: Jeez!
(eyecatch begins and ends)
Warcry: (crying)
Orga: Huh?
Warcry: As I cry, I become more powerful! (crying)
However, Orga responds by merely raising a hand and unleashing a huge flurry of black lightning at his opponent.
Warcry: (screaming)
Amethyst: Ssssss, uhhhhh. That GOTTA hurt.
Inutsu: (wearing a brown Quatro Cerberos symbol on his back) Warcry! I knew they shouldn't pick someone else from our team!
Inutsu is a brownish-red Doberman Exceed/Kamui and mascot of Quatro Cerberos. He only wears a black delinquent-like jacket, orange eyes, and a red spiked-collar. Inutsu is quick to anger, loud, rude, and a bragger. He loves to fight and fight anyone who dares harm the guild. Like Danketsu, he can manipulate the flames.
Orga: Thanks for the Dog Badge.
Sting: Orga, you should have move slower and made the whole thing more fun! That was too fast and boring!
Orga: Hm?! Well then. I guess I could sing a song. (starts singing)
Orga heads back out to the center of the field and proceeds to sing a song whilst the audience screams and cheers for Fiore's strongest guild.
Nonon: (screaming) His singing is even worse than Gajeel's!
Mako: Agree!
Uzu: Make him stop!
Ryuko: Please! I can't take this anymore!
Kamuis: Horrible!
(eyecatch begins and ends)
Chapati: With that out of the way, it's Quatro Cerberos's Viola against Sabertooth's Felicia!
Felicia: Prepare to feel pain!
Viola: (wearing a purple Quatro Cerberos symbol on her left arm) You wish! Hierro Lagrima: Mekujira!
Viola,[4] alias Violet,[1] is a former assassin and officer in the Trebol's Army division of the Donquixote Pirates,[2][5] the younger sister of the late Scarlett,[6] and Rebecca's maternal aunt. She is also King Riku Dold III's second daughter,[4] making her the crown princess of Dressrosa and current heiress to the throne, after Rebecca forfeited her title.[7][8] Viola is a slender, light-skinned woman and very tall height (slightly shorter than Sanji when wearing high heels). She wears her long, slightly wavy black hair pulled back and held in place by a rose, with a lock hanging to the left of her face.[1] Along with the red rose in her hair, she wears round earrings, purple stiletto heels, and a long, sleeveless white Flamenco dress with violet polka dot and maroon frills.[1] At age 19, ten years before joining the Donquixote Pirates, Viola wore her hair in a side-parted, chin-length bob with a pink hairband. She was wearing a long dress with a black top and a light and frilly bottom.[4] As a child, Viola was seen wearing dresses with puffy shoulders, and her hair was in a shorter, rounded bob. When playing the role of Violet, an officer of the Donquixote Family, Viola fits the stereotype of the dancing women of Dressrosa; she seems to be very emotional and romantic but would not hesitate to stab a man who betrays her. She can use her charm to manipulate people, persuading Sanji to kill a man for her and luring him into a trap. She has no qualms about using violence when necessary, as shown when she kicked Sanji full-force in the face, leaving him bleeding and barely conscious.[2] Her ruthless behavior is actually a symptom of a profound cynicism; not a single man she has ever been involved with has been honest with her, a fact that her powers allowed her to discover. Deep down, she has a kind heart that was moved by Sanji's honesty and kindness, leading her to help him in spite of the consequences.[9] The true Viola is more noble than her alias Violet, as she sacrificed her own freedom in order to spare her father's life. She never felt true loyalty to any king but her father. Even while working for the Donquixote Family, she kept tabs on the Tontattas' progress without revealing their plans to Doflamingo.[4] Prior to her family's dethronement, Viola showed a more amiable and trusting personality, trying to persuade her sister to trust Kyros despite his background.[7] Viola is a very graceful Flamenco dancer[17]. She is skilled in manipulating others and, as an assassin of the Trebol Army held in high regards, is an accomplished fighter. Her combat ability was demonstrated when she was able to severely wound Sanji[2], although comparing their respective strengths is somewhat pointless, given that he would die before fighting back.[18] As the princess of Dressrosa, she has great authority over the country, a status that was taken away when her family was dethroned by Doflamingo until his defeat. As a former officer of the Donquixote Pirates, she had command over the 2000 soldiers. Viola ate the Giro Giro no Mi, a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit that affords her various eye- and vision-related powers. She can use clairvoyance to see anything within a 4,000 kilometer radius in great detail. [19] In a move that she calls Peeping Mind, she uses her fingers to form "goggles" that she can use to see through anything, read the minds of others, and even allow others to see into her memories. It was this ability that let her see through all the men who attempted to lie to her, making her altogether impossible to deceive. She can also use her devil fruit powers in combat. In an attack called Hierro Lagrima: Mekujira (consisting of the Spanish for "iron tear" followed by a Japanese pun on the words for "whale" and "glaring"), Viola's eyes emits whale-shaped tears that subsequently detach and pursue her opponents, attacking them with what seems to be blunt force. [20] It was her devil fruit ability that made Viola a very valuable asset to the Donquixote Pirates, as Doflamingo accepted her offer to spare King Riku's life in exchange for her services. She had already eaten the fruit by the age of ten.[7] Viola possesses a pistol and was shown using it proficiently when she shot at a screen displaying the Corrida Colosseum Block D battle.[21] When confronting Doflamingo, she was seen wielding a knife. She appeared to pull it out of her hair, suggesting that the knife was part of the rose-shaped ornament she wore.[22]
Felicia: Nya~?! Whales?!
Viola: Attack!
Felicia: Nya~! I'm NOT getting wet~! (dodging)
Pearl: Felicia, look for Viola's weakness. She has to have at least one.
Felicia: Got it!
Nate: This is getting intense.
Nathan Adams (Japanese: 天野 景太 Amano Keita), often referred to as Nate (Japanese: ケータ Kēta), is the main protagonist of the Yo-kai Watch series. Nathan possesses a Yo-kai Watch which allows him to see, befriend and summon Yo-kai. His Yo-Kai form, Fu2, was revealed in the second Yo-Kai Watch movie. Nathan is a fair-skinned young boy with big black eyes and dark brown hair worn with three large spikes resembling cowlicks. A small amount of hair sticks down at his neck. He wears a red shirt with white rim on each sleeve and collar, matching the star at his chest. On his arm is a blue and white design. His denim jeans are light grey and worn with a brown belt, while his boots resemble a pair of white shoes accent by blue and red. He wears his Yo-Kai Watch on his left wrist. Nathan is a fun kid but tends to come off as comedic. He enjoys being with his friends and the Yo-Kai he befriended, even when they can be troublesome. His personality is very infectious and gains him many friends - however, one noticeable trait is how extremely average he is. This spreads even to his school marks and greatly annoys him. Like most kids, Nathan enjoys basic things - like watching television, messing up his room, staying up late at night to watch television or play games. But he is very righteous and has a strong sense of justice when a real crisis pops up.
Whisper: It is! But we must keep our eyes on Yo-kais. They could appear anywhere at anytime.
Whisper (Japanese: ウィスパー Wisupā) is Nathan Adams' personal ghost butler and overall guide through the world of Yo-kai. Nate befriended him upon inserting a coin into an old toy capsule machine (later named the Crank-a-kai) he found in the forest near the Holy Tree. While not widely well-known, Whisper's specifics is that he's an Absorption-attribute C-Ranked Yo-kai of the Slippery tribe. As revealed in his trip to the Sengoku Period, he is secretly named Shittakaburi (Japanese: シッタカブリ). He can fuse with Jibanyan to form Buchinyan, or with Shogunyan to form Bushiper. A cartoony, white ghost with a black mask-like mark surrounding his eyes. He has blue lips with an upper-lip vaguely resembling a mustache. He has a small whisp atop his head and a tail that constantly billows. In the Sengoku Period, he has black markings on the sides of his head and a the whisp on top is black, to resemble hair. He wore a yellow kimono and is known as Whisbe. Despite talking in a polite and well-mannered demeanor, he has a slightly uptight personality and short temper, leading him to come off sounding a tad arrogant. As the Yo-Kai Shittakaburi, he prides himself in knowing all there is to know about yokai yet often finds himself hastily checking through the Yokai encyclopedia when confronted by one. He seems to enjoy lecturing those around him despite being a bit of a hypocrite. Whisper's voice ranges from low tones to high tones, thus resulting in an odd and comical manner of speaking. He often utters "Whis~" in his speech in the original Japanese. In the English dubbing of the anime, Whisper has a more curt personality, and has a frequent usage of biting sarcasm. Nate can access/change his Yokai Watch by sticking his hand into Whisper's mouth. In the Sengoku Period, he can unleash a belch which, when in contact with someone, causes people to claim to know about stuff they do not really know of, always striking a kabuki-like pose and exclaiming "There's no really denying it~!". He can also go through walls and doors, referencing his ghost like appearance.
Nate: Right.

Jibanyan: Nate, nyan you please be quiet~nya? I'm watching the fight~nya.
Jibanyan (Japanese: ジバニャン Jibanyan) is a Fire-attributed D-ranked cat Yo-kai of the Charming tribe. According to the Yokai Medallium, its bio for Jibanyan says "After being run over by a truck, he inspirits an intersection and seeks to get his revenge on passing trucks''. Jibanyan is popularly known as the mascot of the Yo-kai Watch franchise, as well being a game mascot of Yo-Kai Watch, Yo-Kai Watch 2: Ganso and Honke, Yo-Kai Watch 2: Shin'uchi, and Yo-Kai Watch Busters: Red Cat Team. Jibanyan is a red and white coloured cat with a chip in his left ear. He has yellow coloured eyes with large black pupils, his nose and inner-ears are dull shade of pink. Attached to his collar is an aquamarine coloured bell, matching the flames at the end of his two tails. He was red and had a curved muzzle instead of a wavy muzzle, he also had white inner ears and paws tips with a regular tail and also had a belt before he was a Yo-Kai. Before Jibanyan died due to a car accident, he was a normal cat named Akamaru (Japanese: アカマル Akamaru) that was adopted by a girl named Amy. As a Yo-Kai, he resorts to possessing people to fight on-coming trucks after numerous failed attempts to do so by himself. Luckily, he is stopped and befriended by Nate and Whisper and decided to move into their house. He initially shows a michievous and carefree suide, easily breaking the rules and ultimately, nearly, being exorcised and having to be saved by Nate. However, he quickly makes amends shortly thereafter. Jibanyan has an affinity for chocolate bars and anything related to his favorite music group, "Nextharmeowny." Jibanyan is also eager to fight over other Yo-Kai when needed, as shown in Signibble's assault at Nathan's sleepover. Also, he is quick to take action in dire moments, such as trying to force summoning when Nathan is possessed by Babblong and trying to prove superior than Robonyan, his robotic counterpart.
Whisper: Well some people need to know that Yo-kais can appear and we need to keep our eyes peel for them!
Nate: Let's see...
Whisper: See any?
Nate: Not yet. Huh?
Whisper: You found it?!
Nate: Yeah. It's... Blazion!
Blazion: Mera, mera!
Blazion / Melamelion (Japanese: メラメライオン Merameraion) is an Isamashi Class, Fire attribute lion Yokai ranked C. In the Yo-kai Dictionary, it states, 'The king of beasts with a mane of fire! This hot-blooded Yo-kai fills folks with fiery enthusiasm.' Blazion is a fiery lion yokai. His mane and eyebrows are burning flame and his fur is orange. He has large hands and forearms with red spirals on them. He wears a grey martial artist robes. He is short (about half as tall as Keita) but his mane is about half his height. Blazion is very bold and motivated in the anime. He firmly believes that hard work is something to be proud of, and it makes people feel better. He is very active as well. In the original Japanese, Blazion only says "Mera", which was replaced by animal-like exclaimations (which can make him sound like a dog when Blazion is being very hot-blooded in a given scene). In the English dub, and during the fight with Noway, "Muri/No way". It was revealed in episode 97 that Blazion can talk normally while he was in his flame-less form. Blazion has the power to make someone extremely motivated and passionate, especially about work. However, the people under his influence risk getting carried away and become oblivious to what other people's feelings, like when Blazion possessed Nate's Negatibuzz-possessed dentist, and Blazion can release fires. In the English dub, Blazion is said to make someone competitive.
Whisper: Uh-oh! It's going to possess Felicia!
Felicia: Nya? (growling) I'll win this for Sabertooth! Prepare to lose, Viola!
Viola: Hierro Lagrima: Mekujira!
Felicia: Nya~! (screaming)
Viola: Told you. I won.
Felicia: Nya...
Blazion: Mera...
Mato: Viola wins~kabo! Here's a Sabertooth Badge!
Viola: Really appreciated.
Inutsu: Take that, Sabertooth! I know we could win!

Tenotsu: (wearing a black Raven Tail symbol on his back) (chuckling) That was shocking, isn't it? This year's Games are becoming more interesting.
Tenotsu is a yellow Bengal Exceed/Kamui and partner of Ivan/Alexei. He only wears a lightning-shaped necklace and gray eyes, in which the pupils are in a shape of lightning bolts. Tenotsu is the Lightning Kamui, meaning he can manipulate lightning and other things that uses electricity.
Alexei: Glad you came, Tenotsu.
Tenotsu: Of course. Maiko had told me about your plans. I want to see this.
Alexei: I see. I hope you can keep your mouth shut about my true identy. You must call me Alexei until the end of the Games. Do you understand, Tenotsu?
Tenotsu: Yes, Alexei-sama. I understand completely.
Chapati: Okay! Now for the last two battles of the day! It'll be Mystogan from Team Fairy Tail B!
Jellal: (thinking) Hope this works.
Chapati: And he'll be against Jura from Team Lamia Scale!
Gasser: Go, Jura!
Jati: Kick his butt!
Ooba: Or you'll be spinning, too! Spin, Gasser, spin!
Gasser: (screaming)
Jati: Poor Gasser...
Jellal: I wasn't expecting to fight today.
Jura: Well, I thought I wasn't participating but the Master assist that I should.
Mavis appears uncomfortable in the crowd.
Makarov: Don't worry. He used to one of the Ten Wizard Saints himself. He should be equal to Jura.
Diancie: That's not it. Mavis needs to use the bathroom.
Makarov: Eh?! That's all?!
Mavis: Yes.
(eyecatch begins and ends)
Meanwhile, on a statue on the other side of Crocus, Meredy and Ultear, Ayaka, and Shoko, watch in dread as Jellal prepares to fight.
Ultear: I hope he doesn't accidentally compromise his identity.
Ayaka: (wearing a red Crime Sorciere symbol on her right arm) If his identity was to reveal, the Magic Council would arrest him at the spot.
Shoko: (wearing a blue Crime Sorciere symbol on her left leg) And we'll never find the unknown source in the Games. That's what I'm worrying. Jellal, don't ruin this for us.
The match is declared a start and Jellal instantly takes the offensive, rushing at Jura with Mystogan's staves whilst the Lamia Scale Mage responds by putting up an earthy defense with his Magic.
Akame: This isn't working. Jellal's employing Mystogan's Magic rather than his own.
Bayonetta: His strategy doesn't seem to work on Jellal's favor. He'll lose for sure. So I have to agree with the assassin girl.
The Crime Sorcière Mage eventually beginning to be overpowered by Jura as he struggles to keep up with the latter's incredible speed and accuracy.
Jellal: (thinking) I'm losing here. I have to forget about concealing my Magic.
Jellal begins to employ his Heavenly Body Magic, bringing the fight back to equal playing ground as he manages to land some hits on Jura.
Jura: (thinking) Wait a minute. It can't be. He isn't Mystogan. He's Jellal. What is doing here? Why did he escape prison? And most importantly, what's his purpose of fighting for Fairy Tail?
However, neither now seems to have the advantage, and, in one final attempt to completely wipe out his opponent.
Jellal: (thinking) I'll have forget about my disguise completely. (talking) True Heavenly Body Magic: Sema!
True Heavenly Body Magic: Sema (真・天体魔法 星崩し, セーマ, Shin Tentai Mahō Sēma) is an advanced Heavenly Body Magic Spell. The user bows down and points his hands downwards, with all the fingers closed except the index and middle fingers. The user then begins to slowly move their right hand until it points upwards, causing the clouds above them to begin circling around, forming a cyclone as the skies darken.[1] From the center of the swirling formation, a glowing orb begins to form, growing in size until a humongous meteor emerges, falling quickly to earth towards the intended target. When the meteor hits, the force is strong enough to create a large explosion, which engulfs a wide area and releases a strong hurricane of air, also leaving a large crater in its wake.[2]

As he shifts into his stance, Jura and the crowd watch in shock as the skies darken and begin to swirl above the arena. Also watching in shock are Ultear, Ayaka, Shoko, and Meredy.
Ultear: Jellal, don't cast that spell!
Ayaka: You'll blow your cover!
Meredy: What should we do to stop him?!
Shoko: If we don't, he'll reveal his identity.
In the arena, Jellal moves to finish the spell before suddenly stopping and grabbing at his throat, seemingly in pain. Outside the arena, Ultear and Meredy reveal that they have sense-linked Jellal and Meredy through the use of the latter's Sensory Link Magic.
Ayaka: This should work.
Shoko: With this, we could anything with him so his own identity won't be reveal. Smart decision.
With this, the two women proceed to do anything to incapacitate their comrade in the Domus Flau, the crowd in the stands watching on in complete disbelief as Jellal rolls around crying out in laughter and pain. Finally, Ultear completely knocks out Meredy, Jellal too falling and thereby losing the battle.
Jati: Who cares?! We won!
Vegeta: Perfect. We got the Fairy B Badge.
Shadow: Right.
(eyecatch begins and ends)
Whilst the crowd laughs at Fairy Tail once more and Jura questions the validity of his win, Jellal returns to his team, too embarrassed to even retort their angry remarks at him.
Bayonetta: Don't be mad at him. I know EXACTLY what happen.
Ace: You do?
Bayonetta: Why yes! It was your guildmates who sabotage your match.
Jellal: What?! How could they do that?!
Bayonetta: I have a reason. If you completely reveal your identity, the Magic Council would arrest you on the spot and you'll never find out where's the unknown source is coming from. So they only did this to protect your own cover.
Jellal: Really? Thanks for the information. But I'll have a long talk to them.
Bayonetta: Of course! Now's my turn. Root for my win.
Natsu: What the hell was that?!
Elfman: That was really strange.
Erza: Don't worry. I believe Meredy was involved.
Centorea: Really? Meredy's behind this?
Erza: Correct.
Mavis turns unimpressed eyes on Makarov over Fairy Tail's bottom rankings. Worried too is Lucy, who appears to the joy of her team, whilst a knight in armor watches her from the sidelines.

Chapati: Now the last battle is Team Fairy Tail B's Bayonetta against Team Lamia Scale's Reserve Member Medusa Gorgon!
Bayonetta: Medusa?! My, what an unpleasant name to have. You don't seem to look like a snake.
Medusa: (wearing a black Lamia Scale symbol on her right arm) Well, I never heard of you before. Are you a witch?
Medusa Gorgon (メデューサ・ゴーゴン, Medyūsa Gōgon) was a Witch and one of the three Gorgon Sisters who is also the mother of the Demon Swordsman, Crona.[2] Formerly a nurse in the DWMA,[3] she secretly plotted to release the Kishin from his sealing and succeeded with the assistance of her group of assossiates.[4] She is one of the main antagonists within the Soul Eater series. Medusa Gorgon is an allusion to the Medusa associated with Greek Mythology. Medusa was once a golden-haired, fair maiden, who, as a priestess of Athena, was devoted to a life of celibacy; however, after being wooed by Poseidon and falling for him, she forgot her vows and married him. For this offence, she was punished by the goddess in a most terrible manner. Each wavy lock of the beautiful hair that had charmed her husband was changed into a venomous snake; her once gentle, love-inspiring eyes turned into blood-shot, furious orbs, which excited fear and disgust in the mind of the onlooker; whilst her former roseate hue and milk-white skin assumed a loathsome greenish tinge.[5] Medusa is an incredibly sinister and evil individual, as well as a very powerful witch. Her greatest skill is her ability to manipulate almost anyone, due to her unbelievably high skills in acting. In her true personality, Medusa has a view of the entire world as a place of stasis, where nothing evolves or changes. She hates this so much that she went to the extent of resurrecting Kishin Asura in order to make the world mold back into "motion". She also takes incredible pleasure in others' pain when she is the one causing it, and when her experiments are working. She is so sinister that she can even subject her own child, Crona, to unimaginably torturous punishments, like locking them in a dark room for many days without food or water whenever they fail to do what she commands them to do, and gives them terrifying orders such as to devour many human souls. She is easily angered by those who create a road block in her experiments or in the "evolution" of the world, and usually tries to eliminate these problems. Although she seems so dark, to say that Medusa has no love in her is a false statement. Deep within Medusa is her own, unique, sinister form of love that comes out extremely rarely. She expresses romantic love specifically towards her confirmed crush, Dr. Stein, whom she finds attractive because of his inner darkness. She also has a motherly love towards Crona, which only comes out after Crona has become a fearsome killer and spreader of Madness. Uniquely, in both cases, Medusa had openly stated that she loved the person right before the same person kills her. However, Stein states the little love Medusa has in her is only a hoax. He calls her out on this in his first battle with her, stating "At your core, Medusa, you're just like me. You can't possibly understand a concept like love."[6][7] Based on her evil and manipulative actions, this could very well be true. Despite this, Medusa is primarily proven to be the most evil individual in the series, even more than Asura. In the anime, Maka's Majin-Hunt Slash technique, a technique based on erasing all evil, is the only thing able to kill her for the reason that she is pure evil. In contrary, when Maka utilizes the Kishin-Hunter Slash (A more powerful variant) against Asura, it is unable to kill Asura because he is actually the embodiment of madness, which is not completely evil. Medusa is a woman with a fairly average physical build, and a large, black, dotted snake tattoo winding down either arm. Her facial features consist of eyes containing yellow irises with black pupils, and blonde hair arranged in a spiked style, with two long strands extending downwards framing either side of her face, that entwine each other like a caduceus' snake to rest upon her chest. While she wears many outfits over the course of the series, the most notable and common of these is a black body-length suit with hood, which extends downwards to her knees. The hood itself is adorned with an eye-like marking upon either side which, interestingly, when worn in addition to the shape of her hair, gives it the appearance of a snake's mouth, with teeth and fangs. Medusa also has a tail which is shaped like an arrow. It is notable that she is always barefoot, when not in disguise, with unique toenail and fingernail polish that is black featuring yellow arrows pointing upwards. On an interesting note, she is often introduced feet first throughout the series. Medusa's witch animal theme is snakes. She uses the magic chant "Snake snake cobra cobubra", and is themed with arrow markings. Also when she gets serious or just wants to be scary, her face takes on the likeness of a snake. Her soul also takes a snake-like theme, closely resembling the head of the Gorgon of Greek Legend, Medusa. However, instead of snakes it has the same vector arrows that are present within Medusa's spells and features a purple color. After the revival of the Kishin Asura and her defeat by Stein and Spirit, she was forced to take possession of a young child's body. This gave her the same build and frame of the child, while still retaining the majority of her original form's appearance. However, the body did have some practicalities, as she found it particularly useful in deceiving many people. Medusa still attires herself with the usual hoodie but this one has two snakes like extensions that are attached at the neck. There is also an apparent white snake head motif on its front. Also, rather than a bodysuit, Medusa sports a knee-length dress, and, unlike her adult form, does not wear nail polish. Perhaps the most noticeable change in Medusa's appearance is the absence of the snake tattoos on her arms. Seeing the opportunity after Arachne's defeat by Maka during the capture of Baba Yaga's Castle, Medusa leaves her previous victim and transfers herself to the empty shell of Arachne's body. This current possession shifts Medusa's appearance much closer to her original form but now bearing Arachne's black hair color arranged in Medusa's typical style. She chooses to also adopt her typical long hoodie preceding the transformation, with it now featuring an indistinct spider's web patterning surrounding the neck line. Medusa also has a nick on her left eyebrow originally. However, the nick vanishes when she possesses Rachel and Arachne.
Bayonetta: How did you know I was a witch?
Medusa: I could tell. Witches always hunt down angels the same way Miesters and Weapons hunt down evil souls and witch souls.
Bayonetta: Well, don't compare me to Miesters. I'm not like that. Although I DO hunt down angels. You got that point right.
Chapati: Begin!

As the day draws to a close, Carla awakens completely scared in the infirmary from a prophecy she has just witnessed, whilst out in the stands Fairy Tail vows to turn their stance around in day two of the Grand Magic Games.
