Look at my King Form...
Hello, this is Funasen.


So today's CSM blog is
We will introduce you to the "CSM Rouse Absorber" in detail!

As for the Rouse Absorber, the design balance is quite different between the DX version and the prop version, so this time it has been completely redesigned to reproduce the prop version that is attached to the suit.
The animal relief designs in particular are crafted with extremely fine detail.


Not only has the appearance been completely renewed, but the audio has also been improved, and the transformation sounds are being developed to reproduce the sound effects used in the film.

And, as mentioned on the pre-order page, this time you will be able to recreate the "Jack Form" sequence from the movie!
By slashing the card without attaching the plate, it is possible to transform into "Blade Jack Form" with the same movement as in the movie. (In the DX version, it was an error reaction.)
However, this transformation was also done in Garren's Jack Form.
When considering recreating it with a toy, there is only one action - "card slashing without the plate attached" - so Garren's transformation from the movie cannot be recreated.
To solve that, we've added two activation switches so you can choose between Blade mode and Garren mode.
(However, Garren's plate is not included this time, but that will be "someday tomorrow"...)

By the way, in the King Form transformation scene, the King plate basically appears the moment you insert the Absorb Queen card, so even when transforming in CSM, I think you can simply attach the plate after inserting the card and then card slash it.


Well, that's all that's listed on the reservation page.
This is the first time we are releasing this feature.
"Equipped with a gimmick that allows you to recreate King Form's first transformation!"
"Includes sound effects to transform into Joker!"
"Blade, look at my King Form."
These are the three points!


First of all, it is equipped with a gimmick that allows you to recreate the first transformation into King Form! However, the first time the King Form transforms, there is an exception; after inserting the Queen card, no plate appears, and instead, you transform into King Form by simply slashing the card.
This can be recreated!
This is made possible by performing a "special startup," which has become commonplace in CSM recently.
To do this, simply attach the King Form plate first and then turn the power on to the blade side.
This will put you into "Blade King Mode".
In this mode, if you slash the card without attaching the plate, the "King Form's first transformation sound" will play.
Also, the standby sound in this state is not for King Form, but rather the King Form initial transformation sound plays after the Jack Form standby sound, just like the first transformation in the movie.
If the King plate is attached, the normal King Form transformation sound will still play in this mode.

What's more, when you are in King Mode, if you play around with transforming 13 times - the same number of times Kenzaki transformed into King Form in the movie - shortly after the sound of the 13th transformation you will hear the "sound of transforming into Joker (the sound of baby moving?)"!
In this way, we have created a mode that features effects that are specifically tailored for King Form.
Incidentally, the sound of transforming into Joker actually starts to play after you've fought a certain amount in King Form for the 13th time, so if you want to wait even longer after the transformation sound, you can play this sound from BLAYBACKLE at your discretion.
After transforming, if you press and hold the dialogue button on BLAYBACKLE, the sound of transforming into the Joker will play.

The last thing we'll introduce is the sound of Rengeru's failed transformation into King Form!
With the King Form plate inserted, turn the power switch on the Garren side to ON and it will enter a mode where you can hear its voice.
After starting up and removing the plate, insert the Queen card while chanting, "Blade, look at my King Form," and the King Form standby sound will begin to play.
If you then slash the card without attaching the plate, the sound of Lengel failing to transform into King Form and separating from Category A will play!

Try playing with your DX Rengeru Buckle and Rengeru card!

That's all for today's blog.
The next update will be on Monday, February 18th.

See you next time!
