Sangokuden designs, official?

shiba-kazoku
The appearance of the Shiba family in the manga.

Remember the previous post about the two Sangokuden designs?

Looks like it most likely official.

Yup, in addition to Shuu Neue Ziel appearing in the Comic World version, we now have the three Shiba family members appearing in the Kero Kero Ace manga version (though there are differences in the story in both versions).

What are they up to, heres a peek:


From last month’s Koumei and Moukaku versus “Grand Master Gundam” Houtou (Houtou+Four Heavenly Kings of the South+Ankoku Gyokuji) at The South. This month’s chapter brought us back to Mirisha…


[Giga Capital - Rakuyou]
chanting…
Shiba Shou, Shiba En and Shiba Shi


En: …
Shi: Whats wrong, Shiba En?
En: Father is here
Shou: Father huh…
En: Father
I: thats alright please just carry on chanting
En: Yes, father!
I: hows the progress, Shiba Shi
Shi: Everything is going well here, father


A giant Ankouku Gyokuji?
Shou: Is everything going well outside?
I: Seiryou, The South and Gou have fallen to the Darkness [rough]
Shou: Oh thats good news
Shi: Yes…indeed
I: Um
I: The awakening of the Darkness…draws near

Some thoughts
So the three sons are kept hidden somewhere in Rakuyou all the time? Brewing darkness?
Still not sure how Shuu will appearing in the manga version. Perhaps the chanting plus giant Ankoku Gyokuji is to call on the war deity?
Whats with Shiba En in the last frame of the last picture? Possession? Something creeping out?
Somehow the three sons seem to have their own agenda to me.

The Ankouku Gyokuji, the three Shiba members. Only Shuu left to realize the gattai.

Somehow this Guokuji and Ankouku Gyokuji thing reminds me of Chijou Saikyou Hen.


Yup, Gou is overrun by darkness.

The sight that greets Taishiji when he returns from his solo recon mission at Giga:

The main decision makers of Gou frozen by darkness.

Besides the reveal of the Shiba family, the chapter also feature the struggle of the Kan-U Team and Taishiji in the darkness overrun Gou.
Just like the Comic World version, in this chapter the Marines are controlled by darkness not by Shuu but by a dark flame which Kan-pei and Taishiji tried to extinguish but fail and got frozen themselves.

Roughly these are the two main events of the chapter.
Perhaps the awakening of Sonken is near.

    Oh thank goodness, I was a bit lost with this chapter. All these new characters and events coming out of nowehere…man.
    It’s interesting you think the sons will betray him. Since we know a combiner is coming, maybe something like how Mazaku took over the ritual to gain a giant body? If they don’t betray him, it seems hinted that Virsago might.

    From what I can understand, Kakuka Virsago seems to be just bootlicking his Sensei but failed. (Hmm. Ya, I agree on the possibility of him harbouring ill thoughts)

    He boasted on how he put Kan-U in a tight spot and Giga will soon be rid of a threat. But Shiba-I doesn’t seem any pleased and is only concerned about the extermination of Sonken.

    Interesting thought on the Mazaku part! But Shiba En is a Zaku but him chanting feels like Jujutsushi Shokew.

    Maybe the Shiba family are servants of darkness/Shuu?

    You got a great site here ^^. Love reading your postings, will be back to check out more. And thanks for the updates on all these Sangokuden stuff…too many of em I find myself unable to catch up!

    Cool, thanks!

    Anyway recent postings have further confirmed the designs.
    Hmm, Shuu combining with Sonsaku (and bringing him back from the dead?)
    Goutaitei part swap to become father Sonken? (Makes me want to buy two of them)

    Any idea where I can read the original mangas online? Thanks!

  7. iron2000 October 4th, 2009 1:53 am

    Nope, don’t have a clue where to find them online.
    I buy Kero Kero Ace monthly from the local Kinokuniya to follow the story.

    Um hmmm… are you willing to scan and post them for all those people who cant get a hold of the manga… (THEY REALLY Dont sell those here in my country). ^_^

    If one manga would just get notice of em… maybe even sub em -_-

  9. iron2000 October 9th, 2009 8:37 pm

    I can’t do all of them but I’ll try to cover the significant events.

    If Sangokuden gets big like SD Gundam Force then maybe the manga might get subbed commercially.
