I'm just gonna get right to the questioning point, who the hell are those 3. I know they arn't TSN, but I'm just curious cause there happens to be 3 of them and they look very unique, as well as similar to each other. FBI?

Those three new characters appear to be PCs created by the AIDA...

Of course, I won't be sure until someone translates.

Taihaku and Sakaki are also confirmed enemies, both having been infected by AIDA, it seems that this Sakaki is called 'Sakaki <Zenith>'.

Aside from that, there is also at least one new Root Town and the Canard @home is upgraded.

"The Hetero Three" are three white-coated AIDA-PCs in the Sage Palace tournament. Hetero, the leader, is a Flick Reaper, and the others, Leucistic and Axanthic, are Lord Partizans. In case you're wondering, their names come from genetic terms.

Twin Heavens City Breg Epona is the new Root Town, and apparently has two levels, and it seems your @HOME is bigger, but not a field.

Taihaku's bayonet from Harald is called Maxwell, and the AIDA power it up...

Wow, crazy Sakaki is called Sakaki<Zenith>, that's either the AIDA infecting him or just a cooler name Sakaki gave himself (it fits in with the idea of "Sakaki", a conduit for the gods to come to earth, quite nicely), not sure...

Using R1 you can "data search" dungeons (like Pi and Yata?), and search down "data distortions" from which you can extract items called "cheat codes", which you can use to "hack" your equipment and make it better. Sometimes data distortions will transport you to an "outer dungeon", like in Roots. These areas have laser security traps and anomalous monsters called "Outer Bugs."

Is it me or does it seem that the AIDA copied haseo's white outfit. They seems to be the anti azure knights. Only being 3 and it seems that the "leader" is the only one that is way different from the other two. Is that the original steam gun that Taihaku got from AI Herald? It seems more like a claymore with a bent handle.

That is very interesting, I wonder how long it'll be before someone makes a joke about the Hetero Three? O.o

Hetero: We protect The World from sexual ambiguity with our butch physiques and skin-heads.

Haseo: *Mellow gasp*

Hiiragi: *Mellow gasp*

Wait, is this an intentional thing!? Because if Maxwell was designed to be powered up by AIDA then that'd be quite a big deal...

It probably isn't though, but now I'm wondering what the significance of Maxwell is.

Kuukai wrote:Wow, crazy Sakaki is called Sakaki<Zenith>, that's either the AIDA infecting him or how you're supposed to read "Sakaki" now, not sure...

Judging by the captions under both terms, I would assume it's read 'Sakaki Zenith'...

...Though they'll probably just call him 'Sakaki', in which case I'd assume that <Zenith> is the AIDA.

Scan 1: Ho hum.... Aida'ed Sakaki? Zenith? Ok. Nothing Special here.

Scan 2: OOOOOO! MONORAIL!~

All Hail Death Grunty~!

Taihaku- HOLY GODS OF HEAVEN~ that's a Flippin' Sweet Gun. *drools*

About as long as it took that one person to do that Haseo doing everyone parody thread here. =/

More than likely the same as Sieg was to Balmung, perhaps there will even be a character named Maxwell to throw us off

Ironicly, that doesn't sound farfetched when you look at the definition of Zenith.

Scan one looks like a corrupt Sakaki

Gundam_Alchemist · Post by **Gundam_Alchemist** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 3:05 pm

so you compete in the last arena before obtaining the xth form. so you fight the hetero three right before taihaku.

Tylec · Post by **Tylec** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 3:30 pm

And it looks like the Hetero dudes are only recent acquisitions by AIDA. You can see Sakaki hovering in the background of their arena shots, monitoring their inoculation.

Gundam_Alchemist · Post by **Gundam_Alchemist** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 3:35 pm

maybe he can control them?

It would make somewhat sense if AIDA's could be used for powering up the weapons much like the virus core - whatever those weapons formula.

Still those weapons were used against AIDA and if this AIDA/Their weapons (like Maxwell) what will those effects do. This is becoming interesting.

So the sword that Haseo fights in that black space is Taihaku's sword. Those three new characters are creeping me out, they remind me of Michael Jackson the way they're touching themselves. Also it seems like they're controlling AIDA of some sorts.

It looks more like they're AIDA themselves.

Oh I see, I never knew there were homosexual AIDAs. Anyways, what's with the statue of Death Grunty, did he finally die or something? -_-

It caught my attention of that as well. Remember those twins from Reloaded?
