Video Game / Mitsumete Knight. The war battles are divided in two parts: one where you command a battalion made of Cavalry, Infantry and Archers fighting an enemy corps, in a Fire Emblem Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors style; then, you get to fight one of the enemy Generals in a one-on-one battle.
The themselves, and, delivering a world of hurt. The is the ultimate of any given martial-arts-based anime or video game, and almost always takes the form of a huge and/or continuous solid beam of, shot from the cupped hands of the main character after bringing his/her hands forward from behind their back, or from aside their hip. The attack is always derived from the latent power of the user, and the blast is incredibly destructive, ranging from causing large personal property damage, to the destruction of large satellites, to possibly destroying the planet on which the character stands. It is frequently, though not always, a. Can be a form of. A staple for, along with the.
Compare with, which is often the technological version, and, for the or spaceship-scale version of that. Also, the sword version. Compare also, where the character 'throws' the energy attack. In the introduction to the manga Dragonball, creator Akira Toriyama said that he named Goku's energy attack after Kamehameha I (King of Hawaii) after visiting Hawaii on vacation and seeing a statue of the king. Contrast with, where the attack is not tied to the attacker's.
Depending on perception, both could be delivered. The, and first here, is the Kamehameha (literally 'Turtle School Wave Attack', often rendered less accurately but more colorfully as 'Turtle Destruction Wave') used by Goku and others from. Not that there weren't plenty of cousins around, such as the Gallick (or Garlic) Gun and Final Flash (which takes practically forever and a day to charge up and is literally about 500 miles wide) used by Vegeta, the Masenko used by Piccolo and Gohan, the Dodonpa used by Tenshinhan and all other Crane School fighters, and numerous unnamed energy blast attacks used by other characters, as well as several variations of the original - Kamehameha from the feet, Super Kamehameha, Warp Kamekameha and Big Bang Kamehameha. in an omake of, with Kame Hame Kame. Parodied again in, with 's Nabehameha. Also in, Jumbo is told that Miura's parents are too busy to take her anywhere during the summer, so he takes her fishing. At the end of the trip, he finds out she's going to Hawaii in the fall, and goes comically berserk, yelling 'Kamehameha!'
At her—which is an actually relevant name, given her destination. Parodied in lots and lots of shows, though the Kamehameha is not the ultimate ki attack in the Dragon Ball, just the most used and recognizable. Parodied within the series with Goten's 'Kame kameha' - basically the same attack, except. infamous Haoh Shoko Ken, used by series protagonists Ryo Sakazki and Robert Garcia, is the Hado Ken on steroids. The move results in a massive wall of Ki that can drain the target of half their lifebar in a single blast! Their master (and father, in Ryo's case) can use it to even greater effect; capable of launching it three times rapidly in succession. And in their team's ending, he uses it to deflect a blast from the.
Ryoga of has the depression-powered Shishi Hokodan, and Ranma has the confidence-powered Moko Takabisha, although the strongest version of the former is a more like a giant that falls on top of everything. For added fun, they actually look like Hadokens when fired normally. Except in the second, in which they are shown more like the Kamehameha.
This is in fact a Japanese pun. 'Ki' (using the same kanji) can mean 'feelings'. Meanwhile, Prince Herb of the Musk Dynasty simply emits massive, unnamed torrents of raw ki from his hands. The final adversary in the series, the Phoenix King Saffron, possesses the Tenka Shunmetsu Kokyuudan (roughly, 'Entire-Empire Instant Annihilation Shot') a giant heat ray capable of vaporizing mountains. Hinako Ninomiya is not only able to drain the from others with her special technique, but can, by holding her hands in front of her face, forefinger and thumb tips pressing, also expel the gathered energy as a crackling meteor of electrical energy, a move she calls the Happo No Yen Coin Return. In, Yusuke Urameshi's attack, the, is a variation, wherein he usually fires a large blast from only one finger at a time, though he has at times full-palmed the blast, resulting in the partial destruction of no less than two stadiums and a fair portion of the surrounding landscape.
has used a variation of the attack, though only when in nine-tailed fox form, wherein he launched a 'dense chakra' blast from, destroying a large hill and most of the ground surrounding it in a half-mile diameter. called kitsune, who in Japanese mythology were known to generate fire from their mouths and/or tails. Just not on such an outrageous scale. Killer Bee in his eight-tailed demon ox form can use the same attack. It seems like Naruto himself is now developing his Rasengan-based version of Tailed Beast Ball. This version is so heavy that he's barely able to lift it.
If Killer Bee's analysis can be trusted, the Rasengan was inspired by the Tailed Beast Ball in the first place. In a strange combination with the, has the Sekiha Tenkyoken, the ultimate attack of the Touhou Fuhai School of Martial Arts, which practitioners can perform on foot (where it appears to be a gigantic hand) and while piloting their (where it more closely resembles this trope).
Don't forget Domon usually combined the Exploding God Finger/Erupting Burning Finger with the Sekiha Tenkyoken, which, like everything else in that series, is surrounded by screaming. In the final episode, Rain and Domon attacked the Devil Gundam's core with the 'Erupting Burning Finger Sekiha Love-Love Tenkyoken'., as, evokes this whenever she uses the Mystical Silver Crystal. Her live-action counterpart in has an even more powerful attack—which is responsible for the complete death of the Moon Kingdom. Sailor Saturn from the later seasons of the anime has an explicit planet-killer attack, which also automatically kills her.
Needless to say, this is Only Works Once. (See Mystical Silver Crystal.). Used in by Menos level, the move is called Cero. Most Hollows use the technique as a.
Arrancar, on the other hand, can unleash these attacks from their fingers. Not to mention Nnoitra's.
by Grimmjow Jeagerjacques during his final confrontation with Ichigo, unleashing a variation of the attack that only Espada-level Arrancar can use: the Gran Rey Cero. Ramped up even further with Ulquiorra's Cero Oscura (and probably further still with Ichigo's standard Cero which is, according to Ulquiorra, more powerful yet.). Ramped up even more with Starrk who doesn't need a pose to fire his off. As well as Adult Nel's Cero Doble, which fires the opponent's Cero (after she swallows it!) back, along with Nel's own Cero!. Not to mention Pesche and Dondochakka's Cero Sincr?co, which combines both of their Ceros and condenses it into a swirling ball of destruction.
This is (ironically) the ability of Soi Fon's Bankai; she mentions that the huge, flashy nature of it is what keeps her from using it regularly. It also happens that Hado #88, Hiryugekizokushintenraiho is a form of this. And has several monsters that pull this off.
They include Exodia, Obelisk the Tormentor, etc.:. Most prevalent in, where Pretty Cure Marble Screw (and its variations) and Pretty Cure Rainbow Storm are two-person Kamehame Hadoken variants. 's Pretty Cure Twin Stream Splash is quite similar to the Marble Screw variants, and its powered-up versions are even more like the standard Kamehame Hadoken. stayed away from this for the most part. It came back in with Cure Happy's Happy Shower.
It's a pink heart-shaped Kamehame Hadoken!. STOOOOOOOOOONAAAAAHHHH SUUUUUUUUUNNSHIIIIIIINE!!. Vivio's Sankt Kaiser form in used this against the titular character during the final battle of the third season.
The against Nanoha's was inevitable. In, Lina Inverse's Dragon Slave spell starts as a Kamehame Hadoken, and ends in a.
Nina does this to Arika during their first duel in. has use this attack against during their duel.
Yes, Santa Claus. Santa Claus: 'MERRY.BOOM. In, there is Tsuna's ultimate technique, the X-Burner. This is different from most attacks of this type in that it actually attempts to. The X-Burner requires that Tsuna balances the massive force he exerts in the front with an equal force in the back, so that he doesn't get violently pushed back. Most Kamehame Hadokens have a.
In Father acquires the ability to create such attacks after acquiring the power of God. Technological example: the Radiant Wave Surger from, built into the 's right hand. The tactic here is to grip the opponent then fire the microwave emitter built into the palm which while turning the target itself into a pile of slag.
It can even block bullets. Later on, it is upgraded to be capable of or firing over a large area to hit multiple enemies, putting them out of commission for a while. Then it gets upgraded again, this time giving it even stronger bullet-blocking as well as the ability to detach and launch the entire hand like a, only with a. used something called Ultramarine, and from the looks of it, it seems like an version of a Kamehameha Wave.
Several attacks from are this, most notably 's Top Gun/Static Force. Yes, the Kamehameha shows up in. Either from unmitigated gall or a need to give the studio's legal department a workout, the writers decided to call it. had the same long channeling when Ryu was first learning it before he could use at-will.
And the flying part may be an homage to when Goku first fought King Piccolo in Dragonball. While it wasn't very powerful in the games, Liu Kang's ki attack is used as a finishing move in the first film, where he uses it to throw into the. Let's not forget. The recent supplement to, Mecha & Manga, has the power, Devastating Blast. The power fits this trope entirely (as was intended in this anime-based supplement) and you may spend combat turns to charge the power, increasing the power's damage.
Classic 1st-block combo. 19 Health turned into mana + 1 point of other mana = 20pts of damage directly to your opponent's face. That's one big fireball. To add the nail to the coffin, the original combo was Black Lotus, Channel, and Fireball, which was incidentally a first turn (or alternatively, turn zero, as the opponent never gets a turn). And keep in mind this was in the days before the number of copies of any card was restricted, so you could have a deck that consisted of literally nothing but Black Lotuses, Channels, and Fireballs. Think someone charging up a Kamehameha or Hadouken, and then think of their opponent unleashing a blast of equal or greater power before they get to finish the first syllable. Also, later sets of Magic gave us Demonfire and Banefire, cards with similar effects to the classic Fireball.
This is of course long after the days of the environment of Channel/Fireball, so obviously they require a much greater investment, so what makes them so special, you ask? They can't be countered or prevented as long as you have no cards left in hand or are dealing five or more damage with them, respectively. What they lack in First Turn Kill combolishiousness they make up for by being nigh unstoppable blasts of destruction.
When first introduced the Warlock class, the core ability that defined the class was the Eldritch Blast, a single-target ranged attack that could be cast at-will and did massive amounts of damage on par with a rogue's sneak attack. This of course led to players. A supplemental book also introduced 'Ki Blast,' a moderately damaging blast of energy that ate up a Monk's use of Ki. As soon as 's Beta came out and revealed that Monks would now use Ki Pools and have Ki Points, many a DM jumped on this with succeeding feats which upped the damage of the Ki Blast, until they hit Kamehame Hadoken levels of damage - some to the point that a gimped-out Monk built only for blasting their Chi could, while probably not able to outright kill, at least cut a Great Wyrm Red Dragon's HP in half by going from full Ki to zilch in one turn to power a mega blast. of course features these in abundance.
They range from shooting beams of light off of the edge of your sword (for Solars) to unleashing bolts of pure elemental energy (for the Dragon-Blooded). The second part of the name comes from the Hadoken ('Surge Fist'; the 'hadou' part can also be translated as 'wave motion', as in ) used by (and Akuma and Sakura) from the series, specifically the Shinkuu Hadoken (A big fireball in the canonical games and a huge beam in and its successor Tatsunoko vs. Capcom; the latter fits the definition of the trope more.).
Chun Li's 'Kikosho' attack is a stationary version of this. Rather than a beam of death, it's a. Batsu and Hideo of (and later Vatsu of Project Justice) have assists where their partners do this with them (Batsu/Vatsu does it standing next to his partner firing their attacks together, whereas Hideo and his partner flank the opponent and 'crush' him/her with their attacks). Burning Batsu in Project Justice uses a beam-firing variant. There's a lot of 'em in.
Aside from the mentioned:. Dee Jay and Guile: Both are more accurately powers, done without swords, as they involve pressurized air manipulated by Ki instead of actual ki. Newcomer Juri can fire strange, slow moving purple versions. Oro throws spherical versions, with the largest being a. Rose and M.
Bison have their own Soul and Psycho-powered fireballs, though whether these are Ki or Psychic attacks is debatable. has the Gadouken, which he does one-handed and travels a pathetic distance. However, as of, it no longer does pathetic damage as well, instead being. Particularly the Ultra form, where it's several times the size of Ryu's and so powerful it. Some in Brawl, like the Finale. The Lucario's signature attack Aura Sphere is a blatant Hadoken look-alike of the large projectile variety, while its in Brawl is the continuous beam variety. Also in Pokemon are is the move Focus Blast, which is even described as working with Chi.
There's also a number of Fighting pokemon that can learn Hyper Beam, which one can assume is performed the same way (Considering a number of Fighting type lack a mouth). Likewise, in Melee, the Mewtwo uses Shadow Ball, which resembles a purple-and-black Kamehameha. A number of characters have this technique at their disposal, but the most common variation is undoubtedly Marisa Kirisame's Master Spark (never mind that she has to cup a magical artifact in her hands to launch the beam; the pose is the same). Here is example from a fanvideo: starting at 5:10. Yuka, the original creator of the Master Spark, does the same, but uses her to launch the attack, and also clones herself so she actually gets TWO Master Sparks. In the fanon game Touhou Soccer 2, for three Master Sparks. Mima herself is not one to be outdone,.
Tenshi's Attack from Scarlet Weather Rhapsody is a - that 'laser' is made of many, many bullets packed together so tightly there's no space between them. Barret's final limit, Catastrophe, from is a similar attack but is actually superheated plasma being shot from his. It is, however, implied to be fueled by the very life essence of The Planet. Regal, of, has one of these. It is only ever seen once.
Well, maybe twice. From, DHAOS LASER!. The Pyro of has a taunt that mimicked this. The taunt instantly kills anyone standing next to it. Can be viewed. Not to mention, you HAVE to do it to get an achievement. There was a with the Soldier's Cow Mangler 5000 that can look like this.
If the Soldier taunts while charging a shot,. In: Dragon Quarter, the protagonist can perform this in the form of the 'Dragon Breath' attack, when using his form. At the end of the game, he even manages to get in a with an actual dragon. In (and its handheld ports), characters can level up their mastery of weapon types to gain various special attacks. For those of the martial artist career path, these attacks consist largely of simple punch and kick combos for the first few levels. Until they obtain the 'Lions Roar' technique, which costs more than ten times as much mana as their previous moves, often requiring mana-boosting equipment to use even once per fight when it is first acquired.
When the attack is used, the character somersaults into the sky, pushing their back up against the lens of the isometric camera, and throws an enormous Kamehamehadoken, killing everything within a large radius of their original position before falling gently to earth. The Blazing Palm special in is a much more modest fiery Kamehameha, without the absurd MP cost of Lion's Roar. The Nekomata monster class gets its own version of this: Cat Blast. One of the attacks of Soulgain in is called. Which is practically this trope exemplified. While weaker than Soulgain's other attacks, it's the only attack that allows multi-enemy targeting.
Rushbird's Light Blazer from. Zeus Guys in use this as their primary attack. Julian's Soul Bomb attack in. Dark Demon in has a beam attack that takes up nearly the entire screen. Fei in has an attack resembling this as one of his final Deathblows. His 'chi blast' spell when used in his gear is straight up Kamehame Hadoken or Wave Motion Fist except it looks be somewhat fire elemental, even though its not.
His special option ability 'Thor Wave' is an even better example. Basch in has a called 'Fulminating Darkness' (How's that for an attack name?), which superficially resembles Vegeta's Final Flash, except it's a beam of swirling greenish-black energy. It's actually the weakest of Basch's quickenings, though.
This is a common style of attack for the Monk classes in some of the games, notably. Sabin's is especially notable because his blitzes are triggered. The pattern for Aura Bolt?. In, Kirby's fully-charged 'Plasma' attack looks like this.
It doesn't hurt that his hat for this ability looks like a green version of Goku's Super Saiyan hair. The same in Kirby Air Ride. His fighter mode does this as well, including a. Unlike his plasma mode (which fires pin-sized beams if uncharged), fighter doesn't have to charge to achieve the desired effect. Don't forget about his Beam Mode where if the player holds the attack button long enough, Kirby will shoot out a literal Hadoken projectile. In more recent installments such as Amazing Mirror and Return to Dreamland, this is played straight with the Fighter ability. Linn Kurosawa gets one of these in the arcade game.
Invoked in for the Dragonball (named after the Dragon Punch and Fireball/Hadoken from ) weapons. In, the EX version of Takuma's is this.
It has a nice lion motif to it. Cloud of Darkness in has its signature Particle Beam attack. In the DS version, it builds it by charging the energy between its hands; which are cupped, facing each other, and stacked vertically, and then fires it as a beam of energy by separating its hands. It comes back with a vengeance in Dissidia, featuring several forms of the Particle Beam and Cloud of Darkness' being a massive Particle Beam that is described in-game as leaving nothing but dust.
has the Geno Beam. Jinx has Bombs Away, which is also the most powerful physical attack in the game. As opposed to the honorable trope namers, ' resident cheating bastard, Destroyman, uses the sphere-type. The Destroy Buster (beam-type), comes from. Despite being a clone of the Street Fighter games, the version of is pretty light on this.
Only Raphael and Wingnut come close. The does this to boost the speed of the businessman. Cliff Fittir's Max Shockwave in. Several in the series come equipped with special runes which allow them to execute this kind of attack.
Mash/Sabin Rene Figaro's Aura Cannon in. Sabin's special moves are actually done by entering fighting-game-like button combos. The one for Aura Cannon? Quarter-circle forward, the same input as a Hadoken in Street Fighter. The massive series of games, especially the Budokai games, and especially the Budokai Tenkaichi games. Alex Mercer of has one. However, given, it's made of tentacles.
In, one of the is this. It's fueled with, as you need both of your two female partners to have very high with your main protagonist, McLeod. In, can do 'psycho wave' attacks for a limited number of times. has a series of knuckle weapons and a character that can use them. The use of this trope (the ) was inevitable. Parodied in with Ryoku's Soul Nuke. As the Kitsune saga in general and the Dragon Koi Tournament in particular is pretty much a parody of popular anime, the attack takes a month or so to actually charge up (which is roughly enough time for the saga in general to wrap up).
It ultimately never gets used, as by the time the final wrapping up cutscene of the saga rolls around, your character unceremoniously knocks Ryoku out just as he's finally about to cut loose. Goku in the fighter has a Kamehameha that hits like a 3-hit hadoken. Considering that the project was headed by the producer of and the, this makes some sense. The series gives us the Nova Skeletons, or as they're better described, skeletons with Kamehamehas. In Dawn of Sorrow and Order of Ecclesia, you can steal their beams.
The Flame in 2: The Shadow and the Flame works much like a Hadoken. The title character in Kuri Kinton (a little known arcade game by Taito) can do this by holding down the attack button and letting go when fully charged. In, X is able to learn the Hadoken in the first game as an. In the game there is a class known as the Mystic who has access to this in the form of their 'Absorb Soul' attack.
combines this with and, using four Mana arms to charge and fire enough beams to chew through an entire armada. In, Twilight Sparkle has this attack. The gems Rarity summons also serve as this for her. Malik Caesars from can unleash the Mystic Arte 'Malik Beam', in which he turns his back to the enemy, and then this trope came out from his back. Combat Girl from Super fires a 'combat laser' out of thin air apparently by sheer power of will. In, mages have access to the Combined Bolt attack, which works by gathering all of the mage's into a single crescent-shaped blast that tears through most enemies' defenses. In particular, the mages of the Burning Hill and Great Sea clans rely on this ability to overwhelm their enemies' defenses.
In, the Hadoken is the signature attack of Black Mage, and unleashes power equivalent to a small nuke. He also once used it for a, calling it 'Boatdoken'.
The Red Mage used a similar attack once ('Hadoyastopthis!?' Fighterdoken and Medoken are not actually Kamehame Hadoken attacks but. Black Mage's Hadoken is powered by - literally. It consumes love from the universe to power itself. The divorce rate rises every time he fires it off. The parody actually uses the name 'Kamehamehadoken.'
. in: After Richard gets trapped in a bleach-white purgatory, he is seen attempting to use the Hadoken; the only effect seems to be that he forms a blue glowing ball in his hands, to which he says 'that didn't work as well as I'd liked.'
He does, however, follow up with a successful Shoryuken to Hctib. In, Maggie casts Hadoken Hoboken to kill an enemy mount.
The Hoboken is latter revealed to be a basic attack spell known to almost every caster. One character and his clone can use a variant, 'Tamashii Gekido' ('Soul Fury') - short-ranged wide blast of force strong enough to if there's enough space for a tumbling flight. After all, they practice ' anime-style martial arts', it's not something unexpected. And then an a great in this way. The lead character in unleashes one with an.
Magical version from. Take an ordinary, add 1000 years of (mana/aura)growth and experience -. Unfortunately, her targets dodged.
Becquerel uses it in, to destroy the meteor heading for Jade's house. Chloe in, when she accidentally got a and, for interrupting her lunch. When fan Sydney in takes a Qigong class, she's disappointed to learn that by focusing her Qi, she can't actually anything.
In that's how Satan and 'Bomf!' (which bedevils living things or simple objects and more advanced hardware), Jesus does ' and Buddha calms down people—this one is temporary. In, the fires an attack called the 'Curse-ya-ha-me-ha', which is said to inflict great misfortune on its target. In an entirely American use of this, by the 3rd season of, Danny, when needing a more powerful hit to stop an enemy, performs a very quick Kamehame-Hadoken-like Ectoblast.
Most notably, he and Dani, his clone/cousin perform a dual-blast in this manner, one which seems only slightly less powerful than his Ghostly Wail (and a lot less draining). There are a couple of examples in in the finale. After Hal Jordan reactivates the Green Element and becomes rather Ion-like, he one-hand blasted Sinestro through several buildings.
Then during their last DBZ-style ring powered fist fight, Hal uses the last power in his ring for a nice, big blast. Though the attack wasn't done at all, the attack name was mentioned in. When Jimmy assumed the role of 'Power Squid' and fought his first battle against a horde of clowns, as he/the squid on his head fought them, his fourth battle cry was 'Hadoken!' Before ending it with a spin kick. Control Freak, in one episode of, when he had acquired the skills of a '12'th level space samurai' and a bunch of other stuff after porting himself into the.

Part 9: Spring 1996, Walking the Tightrope Chapter 8: Spring 1996, Walking the Tightrope 1995 was pretty good to our young Goon. His grades went up, Shiori started to notice him, and he was handsome enough to pass the Ijuuin family's standards. Miraculously, he pulled Shiori's present from the pile (what are the odds? One in thirteen, it turns out) and the next year is going to be critical in his road to finding love and Utter Perfection. That Yang Guo mask is starting to slip off, though - Mad Bomber Megumi is now in the mix, and that means a few less Sundays a year to build stats. From this point on, the critical juggling act is to balance social obligations while focusing on making Shiori happy and still building those last few stats toward Shiori's exacting standards. It's not bad with only three characters met so far, but Saki is still yet to enter the mix, and Mad Bomber Yumi lurks just around the corner as well.

Shiori: We should head home, Gunpei-kun. 2/13-2/18: 2/14: Valentine's Day! Valentine's Day has been adopted by a surprisingly large portion of Asia, largely thanks to the widespread influence of Japanese candy companies.
Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan have found it so successful and profitable that they've separated out days for girls giving guys chocolate (Valentine's Day, 2/14) and for guys giving girls some other kind of confection (White Day, 3/14) in order to extend the candy-buying season. There are two important kinds of chocolate given on these days: 義理チョコ/Giri Chocolate, which is given to friends out of a sense of obligation, and 本命チョコ/Honmei Chocolate, which is given out of love and affection. The difference between these two kinds of chocolate is mostly determined by intent, but you can also tell which is which by the amount of effort that went into it. Homemade chocolate made just for you? Possibly in the shape of a heart? Honmei Choco. A bunch of Hershey's Kisses and she asks you to pick one or two you like?
Really expensive assortment? Honmei choco. And so on, and so forth. There are other kinds of chocolate given to family members and given as simple thank-yous, but they aren't relevant in the TokiMemoverse, so we'll ignore them. Rei: Hello and good morning.
Goon: What do you want, Ijuuin? Rei: Today is Valentine's Day, is it not? I could not possibly hope to equal you, but I did receive some paltry amount of chocolates. Rei: Observe for yourself, that is all I have managed. Rei: Of course this would never happen, but should you find your own bag empty at the end of the day, you need but give me the word. Rei: I will spare you a small portion of my own. Well then, I must go.
Rei: Haaaaahaha.! Shiori: Gunpei-kun! Here, I got you some chocolate. Goon: Oh, thanks! Goon: (It's pretty small. I guess it's giri chocolate.) Yuina: Gunpei-kun.
This is chocolate. Goon: Hi-Himoo-san, you're giving me some? Yuina: Please submit a report on any symptoms or side effects you may experience.
Now if you'll excuse me. Goon: Wh.what the hell did she put in this? Megumi: Umm, uh. Goon: Th.thanks!
Megumi: And um. Goon: (This is giri chocolate, probably) Goon: (I got this many, I should count myself lucky.) 2/18 (Sunday): Sleep 2/19-2/24: 2/25 (Sunday): Call Shiori Shiori: Yes, this is Fujisaki. This is Fudo Gunpei. Shiori: Fudou-kun? What's up today?
This part of the conversation has now changed slightly. This means we've accumulated a good amount of points. I'll make a note if and when this part of the conversation changes again. Goon: Want to go to Kirameki Central Park on 3/10? Shiori: Let me check. I'm sorry, I'm busy that day.
I wish I could go, but. Goon: D, don't worry about it. I don't mind. Shiori: We'll try and make it work next time, okay?But not enough points, it seems. RELOAD COUNT: 24 2/19-2/24: 2/25: Call Shiori Goon: Want to go to Kirameki Central Park on 3/17? Shiori: Let me check.
Yes, that's fine. Goon: Alright, let's meet in front of the park on that day. Shiori: Yes, let's. Don't forget, okay? Goon: No way will I forget. Okay, talk to you later. (click) Goon: Yes!
I can't wait for the 17th. 2/26-3/2: Concert Band 3/3 (Sunday): Sleep 3/4-3/9: Finals A great way to end our first year! But wait, wasn't there something about lying low we had to worry about.? Nah, must be my imagination. 3/10 (Sunday): Call Yoshio Somewhere in all that reloading, I lost the path where I called about Megumi. So, this is the time to ask again. Just in case.
Girl's voice: Yes, this is the Saotome residence. Goon: Is Yoshio-kun home? Girl's voice: Oh, you want to talk to my brother? (the sound of running) Girl's voice: Onii-chaaaan! Yoshio: Yes, this is Saotome. Goon: What's with tone of voice?
Are you sad that I called you? Yoshio: Don't ask stupid questions. Yoshio: So what'd you call for? Goon: I'd like to know what the girls think of me. Yoshio: What they think of you, eh?
Gimme a second. Yoshio: What the girls think of you is. MEGUMI HOW DID YOU JUMP PAST SHIORI AND YUINA PLEASE NO 3/11-3/16: Concert Band 3/17: New event! Goon: (Man, I am exhausted.
I should hurry home.) Goon: (Oh hey, that's Shiori over there.) Goon: Hey, Shiori! Shiori: Oh, Gunpei-kun. Are you heading home? Want to walk home together? Shiori: Okay.
We live right next to each other, after all. Let's walk together. Our first success at this event! Once again, that's a good sign - it means we've accumulated even more points. Goon: Okay, let's move. Game: And so.
Shiori: Oh by the way, do you remember that my birthday's coming up? Goon: Of course I remember it. Shiori: Really? That's great. Goon: (And, while talking about stuff like that, we walked home from school.) Hmm. It feels like we're forgetting something, though.
Something important. Some reason why Shiori didn't want to walk home with us before. Nah, must be my imagination. 3/13: New event! Goon: (Man, I am exhausted.
I should hurry home.) Megumi: Oh, Fudou-san! Goon: Mikihara-san?
What's going on? Walk home together? Option 1: Sure!
Let's go home together. Option 2: It'd be kinda embarrassing, so I'll pass. DANGER GOON ROBINSON. DANGER GOON ROBINSON.

THIS EVENT HAS CHANGED TOO. LEAVE THE COUNTRY IF NECESSARY.
Megumi: (sniffle) E.excuse me, I have to go! Goon: (She was nice enough to wait around for me, and I just acted so rude.) REE REE REE REE REE REE 3/14: Event! Here comes White Day! This is where the guys are supposed to return the favors of the girls who gave them gifts on Valentine's Day. According to tradition (and, more importantly, good marketing), guys are supposed to give gifts that are about three times the value of what they received, and they tend not to be chocolates.
Cookies, cakes, etc. Are common on White Day. And, did you know that Korea's trying to popularize Black Day on April 14th, where single people are supposed to gather together and eat black bean noodles to 'celebrate' their singleness?
Yeah, it hasn't quite caught on yet. Give it time. And marketing.
Rei: Hello and good morning. Goon: What do you want, Ijuuin? Rei: White Day must be as rough for you as it is for me. Rei: I sent out my servants this morning to deliver all of these thank-yous and gifts, and yet it appears as though all of their deliveries will still not be completed within the day. Rei: You would never be so uncouth as to leave a favor unrepaid, would you?
Goon: I have all of them right here. I would never believe that you would have anyone to give such gifts to. Well - work with what little you have. Goon: (Okay, I should calm down and go hand out my thank-yous for Valentine's Day.) Goon: (Actually, I did splurge on one special gift.) Goon: So, who should I give this special little thank-you?
There are 3 choices displayed, but only one matters. Goon: (Oh, Shiori's here.
Good timing.) Goon: Hey, Shiori! Shiori: Is something the matter today? Goon: Here, take this. As thanks for Valentine's Day. Shiori: What, for me? Goon: (She seemed pretty happy.) 3/17 (Sunday): Date with Shiori Goon: (Today's my date with Shiori.
I should go wait for her in front of the park.) Goon: Have you been waiting long? Shiori: No, I just got here myself. Goon: Phew, glad I wasn't late.
Shiori: Shall we take a walk? Goon: Let's head down the park avenue. Shiori: Let's go! Shiori: The weather's so nice, want to sit on the grass? Goon: Sounds good. Shiori: Now that I've taken a good look, doesn't this seem like that one park from when we were kids? Goon: What do you mean?
Shiori: Don't you remember? One time, we ran off to a big park without telling our parents where we were going. Goon: Did that really happen? Shiori: It did! I remember every detail. Shiori: Like, one of us almost fell in this big pond. Goon: A big pond?
Oh yeah, I remember now! You remember it too. Goon: I almost fell in, but some old guy saved me. I seriously thought I was gonna die.
Goon: Come to think of it, where were you? Shiori: I was so scared that I just stood there and watched. Goon: You could've helped out a little. Shiori: Can't you let it go?
It's just a memory now. Goon: I guess it's too late to be angry. Goon: But yeah, this place does feel nostalgic. Shiori: There sure is a lot to remember.
Doesn't that seem like an unusually long conversation? That's because it is! This is one of Shiori's unique events which comes with its own custom picture; you have to go to Central Park with her in spring to see it. There are 7 more of these events in the game for Shiori - three occur on dates in specific seasons at specific locations, two happen on normal school days, and two of them require certain conditions to be met on holidays. Utter Perfection demands that we see all 8.
Shiori: Today was a lot of fun. We should do this again some time, okay? Goon: Definitely. I'll call you again soon. Shiori: We should head home, Gunpei-kun. If you're having so much fun, stop costing us Sundays and forcing us to reload every time you shoot us down!
3/18-3/19,3/21-3/23: Exercise 3/18: Event! Shiori: Oh, Gunpei-kun! Shiori: Hey, do you think you're free this Sunday? Option 1: Yeah, I'm free. Why do you ask? Option 2: Sucks to be you, THIS guy has plans that day. Translator's note: Option 2 is the only time I've ever seen the main character refer to himself as 俺様/ore-sama, which is really self-important and arrogant.
No, Rei doesn't use it. Shiori: I'd like you to come shopping with me. Would that be too much to ask?
Option 1: It's fine. Let's go shopping together. Option 2: Nah, I'll pass. This is another great sign. Shiori is inviting us out, which means that she can't say no and force us to reload because we had to waste a full Sunday on it.
Shiori: Really? Goon: Want to meet in front of the shopping district? Shiori: Yes, that's perfect. Don't forget! Goon: (This Sunday?
I need to make sure I don't forget.) Awesome! But I can't shake this feeling of dread. 3/20 (Holiday): Call Megumi Megumi: Yes, this is the Mikihara residence. Goon: Hi, this is Fudou Gunpei.
Megumi: (gasp) Goon: Hello? Is something wrong? What might you be calling about? Goon: What to go to Kirameki Central Park on 4/14?
Why did I choose the park, you ask? Well if you go to the same date spot three times in a row, you can get a certain mini-game to come up. But it doesn't seem to work in TokiMemo 1, so this is my mistake. On the plus side, no one hates the park, and there are almost always some neutral answers to give. Edit: oh yeah, this didn't work because Shiori broke the combo by asking us out to the shopping district.
We can take care of this by going to the park a fourth time. Megumi: What? Y.Yes, gladly! Goon: Alright, let's meet in front of the park on that day. Goon: What's that? I couldn't hear you. Megumi: Y.yes, we'll meet there!
Goon: Okay, don't forget. (click) Goon: Goon: Yes! I can't wait for the 14th. 3/24 (Sunday): Spring Break! And, Bonus Date with Shiori Goon: (Today's my date with Shiori.) Goon: (Where was I supposed to meet her, again?) Option 1: Meet at Kirameki Central Park Option 2: Meet at the Shopping District This choice is one of the reasons you need to keep notes while playing this game.
If you have two dates close together, there's no way of remembering which date is at which location unless you wrote it down somewhere. Thankfully, this improves in later games, but in TokiMemo 1, it's hell to reload an old save game and try to remember what day is supposed to be spent where. Thankfully, since Shiori made this date mere seconds ago, and we still remember that it's time to go shopping!
Goon: Have you been waiting long? Shiori: No, I just got here myself.
Goon: Phew, glad I wasn't late. Shiori: So where should we go shopping? Option 1: The clothing boutique Option 2: The accessories store Option 3: The electronics store Shiori doesn't particularly like the clothing store over the accessories store or anything, so it's kind of a toss-up.
We might as well go with the clothing boutique here. Shiori: Okay, let's go! Shiori: I'm going to go look around. Goon: Go ahead and take your time.
(beat) Shiori: Sorry! There were so many things I wanted to look at.
Option 1: You can take as long as you want. Option 2: Did you see everything you wanted? Option 3: Please be considerate of those of us who have to wait around. Kind of a toss-up between 1 and 2, so let's just be safe and say 1.
Shiori: Thank you. I saw more than enough, though. Goon: (Looks like I made a pretty good impression.) Shiori: Thanks a lot for tagging along with me today. Goon: If you'll have me, I'll come along any time. Shiori: Okay, let's go home, Gunpei-kun.
3/25-3/30: Exercise 3/30: Events! Goon: Hey, isn't today Shiori's birthday? Goon: (Should I get her a present?) Technically, there's a choice here. But really, there isn't a choice here. Goon: (What should I get her?) The choices, ranked in order of how much Shiori likes them: 1: CD of classical music 2: Handkerchief 3: Earrings Goon: Alright, let's give her a CD of classical music. Goon: Let's call her up.
Shiori: Yes, this is the Fujisaki residence. It's Fudou Gunpei. Shiori: Gunpei-kun? What's up today?
Goon: Well, I have something I wanted to talk to you about. Could you meet me in front of my house? Shiori: Yes, that's fine. I'll head over there soon, so just wait a little bit, please. Goon: Okay, bye. (click) Goon: Alright, I'll head outside and wait for her.
Seriously, you two? You can see each other from your bedroom windows.
This shouldn't be that hard! Shiori: Were you waiting for long? I'm sorry I took so much time. I mean, really? How can you be late to an appointment that is 50 feet away?! Goon: Happy birthday!
I got you a present. Shiori: Thanks! May I open it now? You may remember that Yuina just says 'Let's see what's inside' and sticks a question mark at the end.
Shiori is a polite and proper girl, who actually observes the usual etiquette here. Goon: Of course. Do you like it? Shiori: I've wanted this for long time! I'll treasure it.
Goon: (She looks so happy. I'm glad I got her that gift.) 3/30: Another event!
(ding-dong!) REE REE REE REE REE REE Megumi: Excuse me. Goon: Oh, Mikihara-san? Megumi: This is, um, uh, your, birthday. Goon: Present?
Goon: Of course I will. Megumi: I'm so glad.
Goon: (I'm such a lucky guy for getting a present from Mikihara-san!) That was a relatively uneventful 3 months. We still haven't met Saki, somehow, but we're going to need to find more people to meet so that we can avoid Megumi at Ijuuin Christmas Party '96. But it's okay. Megumi seems to be relatively under control, if a bit clingy. There shouldn't be any more obstacles in our way!
Build stats, meet some people, talk to them every once in a while, and it's a smooth road to Shioritown! Next time: Summer 1996, More Chainsaws to Juggle.
