[Ninja Slayer] Daihards Tales jumps right onto trends.


NINJA SLAYER

1: Japan Otaku Reviews

Again, something I don’t really understand…

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it a sequel to The Last Soldier?

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

What about the trailer program!?

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might be a hit if it was on an afternoon show.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

Does that mean you will also update the note in real-time alongside x?

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

Did you see it in Bee Keeper?

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was a survey from a little while ago, so it’s probably regarding countermeasures for X’s issues.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to see it normally!

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yeah, I’m feeling a bit off today.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

I haven’t met my college friends in five years… It was difficult to return home after repeating a year… ?

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

Your daughter is too hawkish.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

The intelligence quotient is so low that it can be compared to Neo Saitama!

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

The narrator has come…

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

A considerable number of heads are clicking F5 for several hours, but can Note withstand it?

Well, it should be fine.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

The conversation is moving too quickly!

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

I received the ababar.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

What does Eileen think of Dad?

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Ping Pong cards have a pretty decent font and everything, but I wonder if they really had TCG Company make them.

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Is it a trailer!?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

A relaxed B-grade feel suitable for a weekday afternoon.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was a trailer program!

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>22

We just had a screening, you know…

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

April Fool’s just isn’t the same without this preview program.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought the writing was messy, but it was just a trailer.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Trailer program, here it comes!

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

Another chance, huh!

Speaking of which, I feel like I don’t watch many Japanese movies focused on dogs.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>29

Recently, there was a story of a dog that traveled thousands of kilometers to reunite with its owner who had been separated due to the earthquake.

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

“What is the fps?”

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

It depends on the game, but does the PS2 output 60fps?

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

Woof (I want to be friends, woof)

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sometimes I get teased for being low poly.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

But…

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s too shocking and ridiculous for the PS2 to become such an old hardware that it’s used for trolling.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

What were 1 and 2, Polygon Jacky?

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

Polygon Jacky

“Hey, where are you from?” “I’m from 30,000 years in the future.” A mysterious creature, Polygon Jackie, suddenly appears before Mike, the bullied kid! “Hey, Mike, your dad is a loser.” Relentless bullying from classmates! “Stop it! My Kung Fu is going to come out swinging!” Jackie defends him!

*This operation cannot be performed*

“Jackie! Jackie!” “Help! I’m stuck and can’t move!” “Jackie…!” It feels a bit awkward, a bit stiff… but also somehow nostalgic and warm… When did we lose the heart to believe? A miraculous fusion of live-action footage and 3DCG that awakens warm emotions… Polygon Jackie!

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>41

You’ve become a completely nostalgic presence…

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Low poly is so lame, right?!

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it so real that it’s like an ordinary dog?

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the latest work, it became realistic, but for some reason, the cuteness was lost.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

Did the original Polygon Jacky speak… What happened in 2 that led to the dog…

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

Damn long advertisement!

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Let me introduce you to my dog, Jackie.”

(The BGM stops.)

“Yeah, right… it’s a cute dog.”

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is Polygon Jackie’s ending a death?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

3 was a flop, but 4 sold well.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mr. V

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mr. V… Vertigo?

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

Eh, stop it.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

Something dangerous has come.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shinobi Korosu

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is that… horror-themed?

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is this the main story?

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Keep the part about killing a little more polished.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is Korosu Ninja becoming a TSVtuber?

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>58

Concurrent viewers 660,000 (clan members)

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

You’ve gone beyond the uniform matrix, haven’t you?

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

Just by reading it, my IQ and SAN value are decreasing.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

Vtuber, is it V-san with Shino Bikorosu?

This movie feels like a horror program.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

Make it more than 6.66 million!

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>63

I think in the past it would have been exaggerated to 46,438,930,000.

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>68

Let’s enjoy the absurdity of something that remains a realistic number.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a movie that hints at the connection between Kaze Ninja and Koros Ninja.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

The year before last was Harry Potter, last year was a fighting game, but I wonder what it will be this year…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

There’s a risk of the ego becoming diluted like this, so it’s necessary to use a different name from your real name, like an alias.

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

2017 → Masurada (Cat)

2018 → Masurada (So cute!)

2019→Masurada (side character from Ninja Mon)

2020 → Masurada (Duelist)

2021 → Masurada (rapper)

2022 → Masurada (banishment type + Elden)

2023 → Masurada (Mashle)

2024 → Masurada (Umehara)

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>67

I can’t go any further than that.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>67

I know, right~

But, you know…

I see, huh~

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>67

It’s like a half-brother born from Harry Potter.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

Last year’s Masurada was taken over by Umehara’s ego…

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

BORN IN RED BLACK?

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s already been a year since Chadonaaf…

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ninja Slayer came out 10 years ago… Aieeeeee!!!

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>77

Well, the name has changed, hasn’t it?

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

Obsidian black?

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

N1N1ASLA1ER – B0RN 1N 0BS101AN B1A0K

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

A year has passed since the Ninja Slayer Shitty Character Chronicle.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>80

Dogura=San, please try throwing Agamemnon once.

If you get hit here, you’ll lose half your health and then they will follow up with a wake-up attack.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>93

I could talk about the crappiness of Den-Suryuken for about ten minutes.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

It would be like a comic book-style “what if” story where Fujio is actually Ninja Slayer.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

Dive in/To the far reaches of space

152: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>83

Plasma (Agamemnon) piercing through in front of me.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are you saying “born in obsidian black”?

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

What kind of black will be born if it’s not red-black?

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>85

Rashomon! Blue, red, black!

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of obsidian, it is the master, but is that really the case?

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Master!

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of April Fool’s Day, isn’t it a story that swings hard to the right in terms of absurdity?!

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>89

There are quite a few people who seriously parody things like “Last Boy Standing.”

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I’ve been really into GQuuuuuX lately…

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want a ninja like Machi to appear.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

It starts with such a serious atmosphere that it’s hard to believe it’s an April Fools’ joke.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

Oh, Fujio.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Neo-Saitama of the Soukaiya victory route.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

Fujiya is switching from Hagane to Naraku because it seems stronger over there.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

Das Hardcore Tales immediately catches onto trends.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>98

They are the ones who quickly get their hands on ChatGPT, Grok, and generative AI images; their attitude is different.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

(Masurada coming through the ticket gate)

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like a flow that would normally make sense in the main story, but what is it this time?

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mirror shade = Sun?

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

The theory of the fastest Naraku capture RTA has emerged, and it’s no good.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mirror shade = is it a sun?

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

How about talking about that alternate timeline while also promoting TRPG?

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

Missionnel-San

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

So far, it’s just an ordinary Ninja Slayer…

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

Missionary?

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

This is

Missionnaire-San’s

Is it a matter of distinction?

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

Missioner!? Is it not a mirror shade = sun!?

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ah, is this what they’re doing with Zeke Axe in Ninja Slayer…?

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I searched on the wiki, it seemed like a ninja-related reference with only the n-file mentioned about Red in Black.

Not appearing in the main story.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>113

In the prototype version, there’s a character that belongs to Kabuki Com.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s a conflict with the zaibatsu, it does seem somewhat like the timeline of Part 1.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it someone else…?

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is this an alternate storyline for the main story?

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not just the mysterious Jiu Jitsu of Missionnel-San that extends its limbs, but there’s also stealth?

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels similar to the kind of rewrite we had before this season.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s related to Protoninja Slayer, and seriously, is this really going to be Zeek Ax?

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ah, a timeline where the Marunouchi conflict itself is gone and Fujikido Ninja Slayer is never born…?

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

The trilogy is also a reboot.

It’s gotten out of hand!

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

Possibility of born-in from Fuji’s perspective…? A scene that interprets the Fujikido family…?

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it hadn’t been for the conflict that day, would Fuyukotochinoki still be alive…?

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

Marunouchi Showdown?

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

Daedalus-san is dead!?

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

Daedalus is losing!? This is definitely an IF route.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Soukaiya side is quite surprisingly normal, so this might be a world line where Saint Raomoto actually gets assassinated.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rather, will Zaitsu Slayer Fujio be born through the Zaitsu victory route…?

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

That Daedalus-san…

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

By the way, what was the goal of the Marunouchi conflict?

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>131

Causing a massacre and giving rise to Ninja Slayer.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>131

Mufofofo!

If Arachnid-san does this, Raomoto will die.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

If Daedalus dies, then history will certainly change…

135: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s often said that the reason for Sokaia’s victory was being able to keep Daedalus-san hidden, so if we overturn that premise, the story would change dramatically.

I’m really serious about doing Gundam.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ah, it would be impossible without Daedalus.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have no obsession with Nancy-san, and I probably can’t become a green ghost either…

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the main story, Daedalus was supposed to fend off all of Zaibatsu’s electronic attacks alone.

A world where there are crazy hacker ninjas who can handle Daedalus in the Zaibatsu…

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>138

If Nancy-san were at Zaibatsu, I would laugh.

139: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Kukiki…

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kaito bastard, you jerk!?

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

What are you doing at Zaibatsu, you punk!

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

A mythical-level fraudster has caused trouble again…

145: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Can someone who lives in reverse time do something like this…?

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

What kind of ninja is this… and who are you?

147: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

To play Daedalus, you need a myth-class ninja, and paradoxically, if you don’t have that… Well… you know…?

154: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>147

By the way, it also means that the development of historical alteration, which probably wouldn’t happen in the main story, could be done by that Kukiki.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

I see, it’s Zikakus.

Speaking of which, Sugi-san mentioned that he went to see it twice in the daily report.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

I watched the NFiles about the Born-In, but it seems that the Zaibatsu’s Marunouchi attack was leaked to the Soukaiya side in advance, so the Zaibatsu outsmarting them is completely an IF route.

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

Although it’s thicker than the time of the standing dead, don’t go around acting as you please in the 2030s just because you’ve made a comeback!?

151: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s truly absurd that I was able to trigger NSRS with such a ridiculous entry and kill it, it’s way too over the top.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hagane!?

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

NINJASLAYER HAGANE – BORN IN OBSIDIAN BLACK

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is this an IF Neo-Saitama Trilogy where Ninja Slayer is not born due to Kaito’s interference?

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

Did they mention what Keito was doing in the trilogy?

167: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>157

Unknown

Seriously, everything is completely unknown.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rather, at this time, Fuji was influenced by Bepin and had a weak sense of self, so from the very beginning, it was a different route.

159: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>158

When I looked closely at that area, I noticed that besides Gene, there are various differences from the main story… It’s the same as Zika Axis.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

Could this be that Fujio will become Ninja Slayer?

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s scary that none of the beautiful words come out.

Is Fujio even on a different level?

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since there are actual cases of multiple souls possessing someone, it may be possible to have both Hagane and grandpa at the same time…

163: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Upon closer inspection, it really says “Bepin” in a thorough katakana notation.

The soul inside isn’t made of steel, is it?

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even the mission-nels of this world stretch their limbs!

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

Fuji is strong.

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even in the IF world, this is the first depiction of an Ikusa scene featuring Missionel=San.

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

Thinking about the fact that the Fujikido family will all likely die normally evokes complex feelings.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>168

In the first place, in this world line, it’s unclear whether the Fujikido family even came to the tempura restaurant.

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>168

Because of that damn ninja from the zaibatsu, it became a big deal that I had to kill everyone around me who was mortal!!

It seems that if the assassination route of Raomoto is successful, those things don’t matter anymore.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

Without a beautiful girl, is it Death Lily!?

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ah, instant death.

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

I quickly departed.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

I might take in and mentor the Chichinoki, who survived and became a Naraku host, by seeing myself in them.

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s Impairment-San!

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gee! Impairment-san!

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since Keito has shown up, I can’t tell what’s happening on the Zaibatsu side.

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

Impalement = Sun!

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

Unlike Missionnel-San, it doesn’t seem like we can easily turn to Christianity here!

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is impairment coming here!?

181: Japan Otaku Reviews

If Kaito and Slowhand team up, they might be able to kill Raomoto-san, but I can’t predict what will happen next.

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>181

The fraudster may not be directly involved here at the point when they crushed Daedalus and changed history.

If you successfully catch them off guard, there is a possibility that you could actually kill Raomoto with a slow-hand charge.

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to see the perspective of Raomoto-san vs. Slowhand-san too!

183: Japan Otaku Reviews

Impairment = Sun’s Greeting!

184: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Is it really okay to do something like this on April Fools’ Day?

I feel like this is something that could only be done on April Fool’s Day…

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it just the same Impailment-San over here?

187: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Zaibatsu Ninja who came during the conflict are the following 14 people.

“Beefeater,” “Centurion,” “Conjurer,” “Death Knight,” “Diver,” “Digital Wasp,” “Gladiator”

“Impalement,” “Mosquito,” “Purgatory,” “Slow Hand,” “Sorcerer,” “Sunburn,” “Tormentor”

The collapse has already happened with Missionnel-Sans being there, but well.

192: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>187

Missioner is originally participating in the conflict.

Look at the Nfiles in Bone in Red and Black.

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

That’s how it is.

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

Finally, I’ve spread karate into space and turned it into a greeting!

190: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like if I didn’t do Desukiri with a beauty, the weapon wouldn’t be able to withstand it, so is it a beauty?

191: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>190

It’s not explicitly stated that it’s a death kill, so it might be some kind of amazing move derived from the soul.

193: Japan Otaku Reviews

That’s how it is.

194: Japan Otaku Reviews

I see, in this world, there is a possibility that the Grammars will unite to try to kill Lao Mot = San.

196: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>194

The fortune-telling that started it all becomes “if you try hard enough, you can kill Raomoto…”

198: Japan Otaku Reviews

In a one-on-one, it seems like the one who isn’t in the Dark Domain = Sun is likely to win.

If Mosquito-san were here, would Dark Something-san still win?

203: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>198

It’s boring and old-fashioned to talk trash about Danyn like that, so you should stop.

199: Japan Otaku Reviews

What a shocking Impailment-san!?

200: Japan Otaku Reviews

Impairment = San is dead!?

202: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

“Uwah Inpalement = San is dead”

“Let’s take a look one more time.”

204: Japan Otaku Reviews

Impalement = Sun explosion scattering!

205: Japan Otaku Reviews

That karate is equivalent to a master level impairman, San!?

206: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if it’s at a brisk pace, to handle that Impailment-San in three posts!?

207: Japan Otaku Reviews

How do I say goodbye…

210: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>207

That’s how it is.

211: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>207

That’s because Soul says it on its own…

213: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>207

In the first place, once the head is severed, one should no longer be able to speak, so paradoxically, if other decapitated ninjas can say goodbye, then making a final statement with the mouth is a trivial matter.

208: Japan Otaku Reviews

The dark ninja of this world also has incredible karate…

209: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is no depiction of using any special techniques, so it seems that they are just fighting with a regular katana and a regular strong iai.

212: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re not beautiful, could it be possible that you’re an Obutsudan…?

217: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>212

Ah, is Obsidian over there…?

214: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I’m sorry, but due to the 40-minute limit of the special edition, I will condense and summarize the fighting scenes.

Did you understand?

215: Japan Otaku Reviews

I might not be a beauty, but I could be either a Nanban or a Karoshi.

Surely there are multiple swings, so it wouldn’t feel out of place to receive at least one sword.

216: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Wide techniques die when flown over.

These are the words of Miyamoto Masashi from the Heian period.

218: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even the Death Knight-san from when he was still in high spirits…

Fighting against a dark ninja isn’t worth the risk compared to the return, so I retreated quickly.

219: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It has been depicted that even without being originally attractive, one can be strong.

220: Japan Otaku Reviews

Collateral damage is cruel; this is the brutal battle of the ninja.

221: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since I’m in a position like the top-ranked armed force of Soukaiya as Lao-yan’s trusted aide, that’s part of the reason why Fujio…

222: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even a quality spam like Garcia is normally strong.

223: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Having a beauty like that is like having a cursed item, so it’s better not to have it!

224: Japan Otaku Reviews

He’s running wild while wielding a great sword.

225: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kaishaku…

226: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mercy! In this kind of place, it really has a different vibe from the main story’s first part, Fujio.

231: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>226

That said, there is a somewhat merciful aspect to the fact that the Fujikido family was killed.

Well, it all started with a parasitic ninja being on the opposing side…

227: Japan Otaku Reviews

It is compassion.

228: Japan Otaku Reviews

It doesn’t seem like there’s any mental pollution from the beautiful girl in terms of depiction…

229: Japan Otaku Reviews

Will the dying Fujikido family also meet their end like this…?

230: Japan Otaku Reviews

In a turn of events, the dying Fujikido entrusts the surviving Tochinoki to Fujio…!?
