CSM HENSHIN BELT ARCLE Episode 9 Branch
Hello everyone. This is Funasen.
The shipping start date for the first pre-order of the "CSM V BUCKLE & Drag Visor" has been decided.
It will be 12/27.
Although it is very close to the end of the year, we would appreciate your continued support.
Now, for today's blog...
We will provide a detailed advance explanation of the transformation behavior of the "Ultimate ARCLE" in "D Mode" of the CSM HENSHIN BELT ARCLE.
In a previous blog, we mentioned that when he transforms into Ultimate ARCLE in D Mode, he can activate a total of five different transformation sounds: "Rising Ultimate (Red Eye)," "Rising Ultimate (Dark Eye)," and "3 types of Ultimate Form (Dark Eye)."
I had previously said that the method for identifying the type was a surprise when it arrived, but I thought it would be easier to understand if I explained it a little on the blog, so today I will be explaining how to do it.
I had previously said that the method for identifying the type was a surprise when it arrived, but I thought it would be easier to understand if I explained it a little on the blog, so today I will be explaining how to do it.
Before I explain...I thought that if we put it in the simplest way possible, the easiest way to understand it would be if the transformation sound changed every time you attached and removed the Ultimate cover part.
However, doing so would make it difficult to immediately activate any transformation sound. After thinking about how to distinguish between five different actions using a limited number of buttons while taking into account the transformation scenes in the film, we came up with the following allocation.
(Ultimate ARCLE cannot press four color buttons, so it is severely restricted in that it must juggle three buttons: the transformation button, the BGM button, and the infrared sensor...)
① Transform into Rising Ultimate (Dark Eye)
In the movie, the transformation into this form took place without any special manipulation by ARCLE.
With the toy, nothing happens unless you press a button, so we've made the transformation into this character as simple as possible, with just the simple action of "putting on the Ultimate ARCLE Armor from the pre-transformation state and pressing the transformation button."
②Transform into Rising Ultimate (Red Eye)
In the movie, this form was transformed into by taking a transformation pose while the transformation standby sound was playing. Furthermore, this transformation pose was different from the usual one, in that after sticking out her right hand, she thrust her left hand forward without pressing the button on her left hip, and then pulled her right hand back down to her hip.
So I put together a sound activation system that recreates this transformation scene.
The action is to put on the Ultimate ARCLE Armor from the pre-transformation state, cover the infrared sensor with your hand, and press the BGM button while the transformation standby sound is activated. When you recreate this transformation pose of Yusuke, your right hand will naturally be on the BGM button, so only under this condition will the BGM button not play the BGM, but will instead play the transformation sound.
The Red Eye transformation sound is the same as the Mighty Form transformation sound, but at the end there is an added sound effect where the eyes light up.
3. Transform into Ultimate Form (Dark Eye MOVIE War 2010 ver.)
This is the same as ② until halfway through. In this transformation sequence, the transformation standby sound plays (briefly at the beginning) before the transformation.
Furthermore, because the transformation button is pressed with the right hand, we decided to branch off from ② and activate the transformation sound by putting on the Ultimate ARCLE Armor from the pre-transformation state, covering the infrared sensor with your hand, activating the transformation standby sound, and then pressing the transformation button.
④ Transform into Ultimate Form (Dark Eye Decade Episode 2 ver.)
As mentioned above, there are only a few buttons available, so I've already used up all the patterns I had in ①, ②, and ③ above, so I'm wondering what to do from here.
Here too, I set the conditions based on the video. In fact, this transformation in the second episode of Decade is the only one that is different from the other transformation scenes, in that he transforms not from "Yusuke Onodera" but from "Mighty Form"!
So, to recreate the production from this TV show, we have set it up so that the transformation sound can be activated by "putting on the Ultimate ARCLE Armor while transformed into Mighty Form (or any other form) and pressing the transformation button."
By the way, even under these conditions, if the infrared sensor is covered by the hand during the transformation, it will branch into transformation ② and ③.
⑤ Transform into Ultimate Form (Dark Eye Decade final episode ver.)
And finally, here it is. Well, I'm really running out of options now.
How should I recreate this? In the movie, the transformation took place without any particular hand movements, but since this is a toy, I have to press a button or something.
After wondering whether the above four combinations of buttons could all be used, I came up with this method.
"Press the red button once before transformation, then equip the Ultimate ARCLE Armor and press the transformation button" We differentiated the actions before putting on the armor! By doing so, we can handle the four color buttons, so it is possible to branch off from the prerequisites before equipping the armor.
By using these five types of actions, we have created a system that reproduces almost the exact transformation scene in the movie while also allowing you to activate any transformation sound you like.

I think it might be a little difficult to understand from just the text, so I've created a flowchart showing the above five branches.

That's all for today's blog.
