The Bonkurasu Brigade

Ok, here it is.
This month’s Sangokuden chapter is pretty action-packed…

Felt like going a bit more in depth this time.
I’ll split the chapter to these sub-parts:
- Kan-pei revives
- Shuu possessed Sonsaku
- Ankoku Gyokuji Psycho awakening
- Darkness abound in Rakuyou
- Ryuubi returns
- Kan-pei succeeds Kan-u

The following pictures does not cover the whole chapter, I did skip some.
But I’ll try to cover most of the chapter in words.

And also there seems to be pictures of probably another set of Sangokuden exclusive weapon parts on the net, more on that after the chapter.

Continuing from last month’s losing (also action-packed) struggle of the Kan-u team and Taishiji in the darkness overran Gou…

Kanpei revives

[Unhealed wound opens]
Shuusou: Kan-u hold on there
Shuusou: Lets retreat for now!
Kan-u: ARGH!! W..What hero!!
Kan-u: Not being able to save one’s beloved son..what
Kan-u: Whats about being unequaled!! ARRRGGGHHH!!

[a light from the skies shines on the frozen Kan-pei]
Shuusou: w..wha..
Kan-u: (T..This light. Ryuubi-dono…)
[Kan-pei revives! Equipped with the Ryuukihou armor, Kan-u's piece]
Kan-u: Kan-pei
Kan-pei: Th..This armor is!?

skipping some pics.. chunks of text means picture skip :P
Kan-u reminds his son of the task at hand, to extinguish the dark flame (which is coming out from the mouth of a great tiger statue atop a cliff). With an Oogakiringeki, Kan-pei smashes the tiger statue to pieces.
But he seem to have awoken and freed something thats inside…

Shuu possessed Sonsaku

I’ll refer to him as Shuu

Shuu looks down at the three. Kan-pei is scared stiff at this monster before him. Kan-u and Shuusou look from below. Without warning Shuu threw tentacles of dark energy towards Kan-pei throwing him against the rocks.

As the dark energy weave through the grounds, Kan-u comments on the overwhelming level of dark energy.
A struggling Kan-pei wonders why this monster is in Gou…

Ankoku Gyokuji Psycho awakening
Darkness abound in Rakuyou

At capital Rakuyou, in the secret shrine of the giant Ankouku Gyokuji…

Shiba-En held on to his left chest. Seems to be pain. He is forced down on his knees. “uu..th..the Darkness…”

En: The Darkness…is coming
[A piece of the giant Ankouku Gyokuji cracks off...]
[The palace rumbling...]
**After his last appearrance in April, he is now in Gundam mode?**
Kyou-i: W..Whats going on?
Kyou-i: Got to go protect his Majesty
[Kyou-i hurries off...]

Kyou-i: Your Majesty
Kyou-i: What!?
[scene of blood greets Kyou-i]
Teiiku: u..uuu
Kyou-i: Sensei!!
Kyou-i: Hang in there Sensei, what happened?
Teiiku: T..Take this to Shou…
Kyou-i: This is?
[as Kyou-i receives the scroll...]

The Emperor parts and the 2 swords are now with Souhi

[Kyou-i fends of the sneak attack]
Kyou-i: Your Majesty?
Kyou-i: Enryuu Kiringeki!!
[Kyou-i escapes and looks back at the darkness overrun Souhi and court officials]
Teiiku: Hurry..to..Shou
Kyou-i: SENSEI!!

Ryuubi returns

Back at Gappi, Gou…

Kan-pei is having a hard time battling Shuu, being thrown about and finally Shuu chance upon a fallen Kan-pei. But Kan-u rushes to cover for his son…

Shuusou: General!!
Kan-pei: Father!! **kanji writes foster father but hiragana writes father**
Kan-u: GUAAAA!!!

Kan-u: Even if this body crumbles
Kan-u: For Mirisha…our country
Kan-u: DAOOOO!!!

Kan-u lands the hammer onto Shuu, pieces under the head is knocked out. Under which revels a shadowy face which Kan-u recognize. But before he could say more, Shuu stranggles Kan-u and crush him into the rocks. Kan-pei rushes over but suddenly there is a streak of light…

Ryuubi: Alright there, Kan-u?
**look at Kan-u’s expression, priceless :P**

Kan-u: Ryu..Ryuubi-dono!!

Kan-u: Ryu..Ryubi-san
Kan-pei: Father!
Ryuubi: Be on your guard
Kan-pei: ?
Ryuubi: Its not over yet
[Shuu comes up, using darkness to control the frozen marines]

Possible new variant of the old Ryuubi kit with new swords…

Ryuubi: The ones who are trapped by darkness
Ryuubi: This spell, the dragon shall break!!
Shin Ryuuteiken Hajyakensei !!

**not sure where the 4 are now**
Bachou: This is
Chou-un: The Ryuukihou is shining..
Kochou: Why is this happening
Chouhi: Don’t tell me Aniki has..
Koumei: The power of the dragon which purifies darkness…finally
Sousou: It is time

From Ryuubi a power burst out in the form of a flame dragon. As the dragon weaves through the marines it freed them from the darkness. Ryomou and Kannei regain their selves. Taishiji unfroze. “Is Gou saved?”, he asked. “No, not yet”, Ryuubi replied.

Shuu, with darkness smoking out, doesn’t look pleased. “Ryu..ryuu..te..i..ke..en”, Shuu speaks. The worn out Kan-u arises wanting to finish off Shuu but he is at his limit. Kan-pei runs over to him as he coughs…

Kan-pei succeeds Kan-u

Kan-u: Kan-pei, what are you doing
Kan-u: If you are a man you sould know what you ought to be doing
[Ryuubi understands Kan-u]
[Ryuubi handing over Kan-u's Oogaryuugetsutou]
Ryuubi: Kan-pei, are you going to do it?
Kan-pei: I..I

[Kan-pei receives the Oogaryuugetsutou]
Kan-pei: (T..This is father’s..)
Kan-pei: Father
Kan-pei: I’ll finish the rest.
Kan-u: umu
Ryuubi: Let’s go
Kan-pei: Yes!

Kan-pei and Ryuubi charge towards Shuu as they stake their lives to defeat Shuu…

[Kan-pei gives it his all]
Shuusou: General, now is the time to tend to your wounds
Kan-u: I’m fine, Shuusou
Kan-u: To be able to see my beloved son giving his all
Kan-u: The pain of the wound..

Kan-u: (You’ve become strong, Kan-pei..)
Kan-u: (Fu..that figure its like)

Kan-u: (- no, its not like me..)
Kan-u: (This father knows better than anyone)
Kan-u: (You have become a man, Kan-pei!!)
**Kanji writes “hero” but hiragana writes “man”**
Kan-pei: (Please look, father)
Kan-pei: (Right now, right here, everything that is inherited from you!!)

Finally the bit on the possible new weapons parts.

Tadaa!!
Twelve weapons, interconnectable with each other to form all kinds of weapons

Twelve weapons, wonder how many more extra kits one must get to complete the set. (Three or four weapons per runner?)
Clever marketing? :P

Looks similar to the clear Ryuukihou armor.

Anyway I’m not sure if this is new stuff or confirmed stuff, just happened to chance upon it at a Chinese imageboard. Ok, found the original source right here (more pics of the twelve weapons there).

Almost forgot.
This month’s Kero Kero Ace has got three “Hero Seals”

Front face

Reverse face

Flimsy as they are just stickers.

Ok, its the end of the long Sangokuden post.
Hope you enjoy it!

Next month then!
