- Mr. impression about the "Monster Hunter" series of Takeya?

Takeya:In (when subjected to this work) if I have to show the design, in the monsters of the design and setting is amazing dense perfection, I thought I Do it is thick on the setting.

- Did we have decided to "Jin'ouga" from the beginning to ask Takeya-san?

Bandai:If you ask to Takeya-san, because I wanted to go in a "harmony" image, it had decided of strong Japanese-style image "Monster Hunter Portable 3rd" main monster Jin'ouga, and from the beginning.
So did we ask "Please mix Japanese armor and thunder-like and the Wolf."

- When you arrange the Jin'ouga as "TAMASHII MIX", where what has been emphasized?

Takeya:The entire color ring, and in particular the blue and gold of contrast, it is the arrangement of the scales. In addition, since there are also elements of the "thunder", was encouraged to gold can effectively place the.

Bandai:Although the initial draft we were close to the more humanoid, so ask to much trouble Takeya-san from Capcom like, because I got the opinion that I want you to more "irregular", Let's to be referred to as "false god", that It has to be a thing. "Awakening" elements you want as a gimmick together, and we ask.

Takeya:So put the clear parts to face and torso, as the inside can be seen, and remove it, under the surface is Toka or to the skull without'm the face of the person, in or to be able to add a big nail in the arm after there Toka. It became more extreme inverted triangle also squeezed the waist type basis.

- It has become a divinely also ominous impression because I see is carrying a kind of halo of Buddha statue. Skull of this part, what is this?

Takeya:The Tomoemon of thunder-like drum decorated in orbit, is the third of the skull. Since the foot is growing remains in a circle like a bug, it was to the fact that trying to to the fact that (in this model) "lightning worms".

- Were there any requests from Capcom like the other?

Bandai:Because it was said to want the addition of gimmick to weapons, supplied weapons was to slash Axe with deformation gimmick. We want Incorporating Image of "Death", in the ax mode in the form, such as the Grim Reaper of sickle, we ask the design to be transformed into a large sword mode.

- Is this Gore-bend, Will has been designed with an emphasis around what?

Shimada:That the anthropomorphic, first from the feature of the Gore-bend, to attack sprinkled the pathogen that mad dragon virus, from the element of "I a little sick, morbid atmosphere, so-called yandere" daughter.
And the "costume Gothic ones" from the color ring tones and black and purple, the interpretation of the neighborhood and the person in charge of Mr. Bandai matched. Then as "probably sickly if fair-skinned," "I'll need a parasol so as not to hit the day because not come out in the table you were," I concept went decided frankly one after another.
Design portion is also to be a body (illustrations have posted here) is through the first draft, which was put out almost as it is the best, then it was about was told that "I want to add the skull."

- In this illustration, it is the state that has the wings and tail, which was deployed in a state that was finished as a monster.

Bandai:The characteristic Gore Magala wings are also a gothic lolita costume, so the image that hangs behind the normal state is applied to the long skirt, and it is a gimmick that expands greatly when it is in the mad dragon state. There was also a prospect that it would be a sufficient volume for the "ARMOR GIRLS PROJECT" if it was included.

Shimada:The first is just a skirt but I put forward a plan of much spread in the transverse cracked from the middle, I want you to spread to the more flashy from Capcom's, because the reply came back that, if bets big on gimmick ignoring When you draw a rough of the wing it was the street. Well I think that's what gave me enjoyed it to the skirt (laughs).

Bandai:And we asked the design to a customer team of such a gimmick, was somehow (laughs).

- I Gore bend is I was incorporating elements that transfiguration in the game.

Shimada:In a state in which the folded wings (skirt), one eye hidden by bangs, corners to reproduce the state in which it is housed to cross on the head dress, to become docile impression pathological. And in today dragon state, it is to be transformed into a more active impression.

- But still it seems to be a gimmick.

Bandai:Since the "Monster Hunter" series, etc. say that anthropomorphic, we still also comes with weapons. First deformation to hammer the "parasol" that had earlier topic, and is in the tail have been accommodated twin sword.
In addition, the bow by a combination of the twin sword. Here you can be in a state of Tsugae the arrow in the image of a mass of mad dragon virus.

- It is also limbs became like a normal girl illustrations.

Shimada:Again such elements would also be necessary, and were designed. It is an image, such as the shot off.
