^they did have ninjas,its just that in SB3 most of them will not be playable,the only "used" to be playable ninja whose fate that is yet to be announced has no plot,cannot talk,and is quite insignificant in the whole SB storyline,but since we now have a time travelling loli sailor then consistency is really thrown out of the window... so yeah,don't give up your hopes yet! |

@Watchtower Yoshihiro is with the Western army. But I have a feeling that Magoichi is taking a neutral stance here, despite her decision to ally with the Toyotomi in the past. Anyway, about many people complaining about the new character designs getting bland, I'd like to think it's because we haven't seen Tsuchibayashi's hand-drawn artworks yet. Let's admit it, many of us were enchanted by the Tsuchi artworks when they introduced the characters in SB1-2. Heck, if it weren't for them, even I wouldn't like the character designs as much and even consider some of them bland. I wish we could see the new characters in all their glory with Tsuchi artworks, but Koba has said that SB3 will mainly only use 3D CGs, and the artworks will be limited to the Complete Works book... heh, 'thanks' to the stingy fujoshis......

Nice update, it's been a long time coming. Kanbei looks decent except for that hair (trying to rival Mitsunari for the most ridiculous haircut in SB3??). Tsuruhime is ok, though I wonder how much actual relevance she will have in the overall story, lest she end up a comic relief/joke character. Hmmm maybe the update schedule is finally starting to move faster than a snail's pace now? |

I bought Famitsu, so here's a translation of the remaining stuff (I don't have a scanner anymore, so you'll have to wait for CrimsonDramon for that...sorry :() Kuroda Kanbei Title: Sharp Wits, Dull Heaviness Seiyuu: Koyama Rikiya Quote: I will grasp it with my hands...that comet beyond the skylight! Weapon: Iron ball Info: A general once under the Toyotomi's command. Even if he was under Hideyoshi he was waiting for a chance to take the country himself, and thus was chased to the south by Ishida Mitsunari. He possesses keen insight, but also monstrous bad luck, so that anything he does always has a painful "other side of the coin". The Conflict Dividing the Land pressing nearer, he broke out of his cellar in order to fulfill his ambitions. Skills Misfortune Sphere Charge: Kanbei kicks the ball forward, launching it in a straight line. Kanbei moves forward too, dragged by it. Cellar Drop (Uppermost and middle pics): A backdrop followed by a screw piledriver. It is also possible to execute consecutive backdrops. (Can you say Final Atomic Buster?) Misfortune Smash: Hitting the iron ball with the handcuffs out of frustration, Kanbei creates a shockwave that hits nearby enemies. Basara (bottom pic): Kanbei uses all his strength to spin the iron ball around, causing a tornado of massive damage. Tsuruhime (refer to previous posts for info, quote and title) Skills Binding Arrows (middle pic): Tsuru launches multiple arrows skywards, which then rain down on the enemies and bind them to the ground. Eon Flash: Tsuru plants her bow into the ground and using it as pivot, kicks enemies around while shooting forward a huge arrow. Peta Parrying Arrows Tsuru dodges back while shooting arrows froward in a fan-like fashion. Useful when you want to add distance between your enemies and you. Basara (bottom pic): Tsuru freezes the ground and sends multiple arrows all around her while sliding gracefully. I've got to go now, so I'll do Yoshihiro and the others later.... |

Thanks once again for the translations, NDY. So now I kinda get why Kanbei looks pretty depressed in his pics; he's the unluckiest man this side of Tokyo. Oh man, I don't care how serious this guy is in battle, he's gonna end up as comic relief. This "bad luck" thing they're going with him can be hilarious if done right.So, while some of the slackers try to catch up with the new news, it's time to talk about the next update. We got no clues whatsoever to the characters in the next batch, so, Basara fans and Koba bashers alike, what's your thoughts? Does this lack of clues mean an empty hole in the update list? Or maybe it's something so massive that they want to keep the suspense? Or maybe fitting Tsuruhime in gave them no room, and the next update will be just like the others? |

Thanks for the update NDY, Kanbei sounds a lot more awesome after that description. He ended up being slightly less interesting looking to me than I hoped, but I think personality-wise and gameplay wise I think I'm going to really enjoy him. And does Tsuru's Basara "freeze" mean ice element? Also, when does the official site usually update? For reference, I'm in eastern U.S. and its currently almost 10p.m. Edit: Maybe the silhouettes were only used originally because Kobayashi knew it would be a long time between each reveal and hopefully now they will be more frequent, so they didn't bother with silhouettes...that would be quite nice Edited by robotzombie, Thu Jan 14, 2010 3:52 am.

Thanks like always for the info NDY, looking forward to the rest of the translations whenever you have the time. Also, would I be correct in assuming the stuff at the bottom is about the changes to / the new Conquest mode? Kanbei sounds so fun to play with I can't wait. And I agree with robotzombie that Tsuruhime's BASARA gives me the impression she could be an Ice Element user. It would be so awesome to go around freezing enemies with her arrows .Edited by AdawgDaFAB, Thu Jan 14, 2010 4:07 am.

Kanbei sounds like he may have what it takes to be my "New" Hideyoshi. Heavy guy with a lot of powerful moves and SPDs! Interesting that they seem to have his personality and backdrop diverge from his historical counterpart in this way. Ah well, THIS. IS. BASARA. Any way, I advise that we all chillax a bit. Now we should be getting into the phase where updates come every other week, at this point. At least one character should be unveiled at that type of interval. After all, the sad story is that we still have any where between 4-7 months to wait before this game will be launched in Japan. We're going to have to put up with the wait, and each other, until then!

Site's updated with Kanbei, Yoshihiro & Tsuru's pages. Kojuuro & Sasuke's pages will be up next week. But I wonder why the voices are taking much longer to be published now... Kanbei's voice will be up on 18 Feb?? |

A closer look has improved my opinion of the designs. Now I'm pretty newish to the series (only experience is Devil Kings and internet vids.) But I like Yoshihiros design. The huge rope and and left arm brace are nice choices. For Tsuruhime, I think her design is supposed to resemble that of a highschool uniform (which inturn resembles a sailers outfit.) I say this because her shirt is like a blouse and the chest armour is silimar to a vest. She has that bow around her neck and her shirt Hakama are short which makes them look kind of like a skirt. As for Kanbei I like his dirty prisoner, cellar escapee design. I would like to see his eyes though, but that is only a small gripe. Also the sweat bands around the biceps seem kind of out of place. Overall a success. |

Agreed on the Tsuchi comment, BK. He has a talent to design characters that are extremely unique and stylish. Its just a shame the CGIs don't always capture that. Still, all the more reason to look foward to the Complete Works Anyway, my thanks again to NDY. I've been waiting to hear some news on Kanbei. Heh, you gotta laugh at his misfortunate personality. I'm sure it'll deliver some comedy. His skills seem pretty nice, one of them obviously being a nod to the past Hideyoshi players. I think I'm trying this dude out after Yoshi and Keiji. Drat, still no video. Hmm, I wonder, due to the long wait to hear Kanbei's voice, perhaps during that time we'll finally get one. I mean, c'mon Koba! It's been a long time since Yoshi was revealed... Still, I'm liking the newer characters even more now that I can see them better. Really diggin' Kanbei's hair style for some reason and nice to finally see a character with some stuble. Yoshihiro looks great and hopefully, he'll get a new Basara... Tsuru looks nice. I'm liking the armor plates going up her sleeve. Anyway, I'm definitely satisfied with our first batch of 2010 Its just a shame we got no silhouette. Guessing who it is always kept this board going. EDIT: Oh, and thanks to Jsun for the renders ^_^;; Edited by Manta Punk, Thu Jan 14, 2010 10:03 am.

Many thanks to NDY for the info, and to Jsun for the renders. The more I hear about Kanbei the more inpatient I grow to be able to try him out. I agree that his fate of misfortune is going to be a source of comedy I don't think it's going to be as overt as one might think. Not only that, but in a way I'm kinda happy to hear a characters motivation being a bit more lighthearted. Seemed to me that so far SB3 has been lacking in the more humors department. Just as I had expected, no new videos today. There seems to be a strange interval between the scheduled updates from now on though. Could just be that their going to just give us a couple of screens, but perhaps we can hope for new videos soon? I don't see why anyone would consider the likes of Mitsunari and Tsuru as "replacements" for previous characters. Sure, I agree that them using the same weapons as older character gives way to some resemblance in their styles. I can't comment on Tsuru and Maggie yet since I haven't seen them in action, but even though Mitsunari uses the same sword-drawing style of Kenshin(I can't remember what that style of swordplay is called, can somebody help me out?) he has his own unique flair in his swordplay. As such, I choose to give the new characters the benefit of doubt that they can pull of they're own unique flair as well.
Well, we know about Mogami. Maybe we can guess as to how he will depicted? |

Ok, here comes the rest! Shimazu Yoshihiro (refer to previous post for info) Quote: Come, Jigen! Blade that will disappear together with the old age! Skills: Jigen Style Yelling Destruction A shout full of energy that blows away surrounding enemies. (the skill appeared in previous games, but its effect seems to have been changed?) Jigen Style Instant Brutal Strike After a rapid plunge forward Yoshihiro powerfully swings his greatsword. Possible to continue into "Jigen Style - Floating Ship", a skill consisting into a sweep at feet level. Jigen Style Demonic Swiftness (Top pic - possibly the new version of the prequels' Raijin) Yoshihiro concentrates all his spirit on the blade and shoots it as a powerful bolt. Even far away enemies fall within this attack's range. Basara (bottom pic) The Jigen style's maximum technique. Enemies get swept away one after another. Katakura Kojuro Quote: Unfortunately, even the Date army ended up learning to be patient... Info: He fully believes in Date Masamune, and is the only man able to protect his back. He supports Masamune restraining himself、and acts as the Date army's hidden but vital pillar. His skill wih the sword is at master level; no one can match his raw skill. Sarutobi Sasuke Quote: You better not think this Takeda army is just the Tiger's leftovers...or you'll be in for a surprise. Info: Ninja of the Takeda army. He supports Yukimura, who is lost and confused after Shingen suddenly fell ill. He coolly stands by Yukimura, tormented by the numerous decisions he has to make, the battles pressing nearer and nearer... New Scenario Mode - Sengoku Drama Scrolls The battles leading to Sekigahara in the spotlight On a massively represented map of Japan, the battles fought by heroes aiming at Sekigahara can be additionally experienced. For every character many battles are set up. Furthermore, the way the story evolves depends on the destination(s) you choose. (Magoichi's stage name is Battle of Saika-shou) |

Thanks again NDY. I don't know what the rest of us BASARA fans would do without you, lol. I may be wrong here, but I think them mentioning how Instant Brutal Strike can combo into Floating Ship is the fight time they have mentioned a 4th special move, unless I am mistaken. For a while I was getting a little nervous that we would have 3 skills at once in battle, but with all the new characters and other gameplay tweaks get ONLY those 3; Especially since they have been showcasing only 3 moves in the Famitsu character profiles and on the website. Looks like I have nothing to fear any longer. Interesting info at the end there. Sounds kinda like a mix of the story modes from the previous games and conquest put together. |

The only thing that leaves me wondering is that we have no idea about KuroKan's, Tsuru's or Yoshihiro's "unique abilities" in this update. Come to think about it, we don't exactly know Keiji's, Masamune's or Yukimura's either... While Masamune probably has six sword mode as his unique thingie, what about the others...? They could have made it clearer, like they did with Ieyasu, Mitsunari, Maggie and Yoshitsugu.... oh well, that's just a little thing anyway... |

I've been thinking the same thing. Masamune's has got to be his six sword additional S-string. I'd assume Keiji's might be his Basara taunt power up. Yukimura's... I have no idea. The new characters, well, Kobas sure left us in the blank with them, hasn't he Hopefully we'll get more info on these abilities soon. Its one of the things I'm most looking foward to. Heck, with these, the new "clash" feature, the battlefield obstacles and the different story routes (thanks for the trans, by the way), I bet the re-playabilty has gone through the roof. Not that the prequels weren't very re-playable, it just gets pretty tiring trying to max out all characters. Hopefully, with all these new additions, it won't that much of a "chore". Also, IIRC, some of the new characters should be appearing in the second season of the anime. No wonder there were so many deaths in the first season, they had to "get rid" of some of the roster. Still, it doesn't excuse some of the more pathetic deaths *coughkennyocough* |

i think im really going to ejoy tsuru now that her skills have been confirmed... ![]() she sounds so graceful and pure i can hardly believe her harming anyone but in my opinion that is what makes her bad ass. she is like the liitle cutey in the corner who doesnt do bad things or say bad things but that is just her facade.. she is like this amazingly passionate and spirited girlll .. ( about the sea ) and i do believe her and motochika will have some hilarious run ins. i just cant wait to see her kick his butt.. hehehhee Also i agree that basara does need some ninja power soon.... im praying for matsu though....

Don't worry, there will certainly be ninja. I cannot imagine why they wouldn't include any ninja in Basara (and since Sasuke and Kasuga are NPC I expect they will have a new rival for Fuuma *cough*Hanzo*cough*) Really hoping for Kojiro and Musashi to be playable. Motochika mentioned that he doesn't know how to handle women and kids, so his relationship with Tsuru should be entertaining. I expect she'll just give him a telling off and try to convince him to stop taking other people's things XD |

Forgive my ignorance, but what is this "clash feature"? I don't think it's on the info page. Also, are Conquest and Story mode going to be combined into one? Or do you think they will still be seperate. We already have the new Scenario mode, but will they include Free mode and Arena mode as well? |

Forgive me if I sound like I'm talking down about the series, but... they get rid of the characters that died/had no importance on Sekigahara (most of the Oda, Nagamasa, NPCify Kusaga and Kenshin), but make exceptions for Motonari (fan favorite?) and archer chick? I mean, I did read that right, Pre-Nobunaga, meaning before? ... Whatever, more boobs. Also, Kanbei looks interesting... did NOT expect that at all. |

Oh man, I don't care how serious this guy is in battle, he's gonna end up as comic relief. This "bad luck" thing they're going with him can be hilarious if done right.
