This week, the 2nd and final new fighter for DOA5:LR was announced. … and it’s an 18 year-old schoolgirl named Honoka. According to the trailer she’s a “Super Secret Fighter Chick” or something

a post on another siteYou should probably watch the trailer before reading my thoughts below.
While I like her overall, my feelings are a bit mixed. Design-wise she looks good, but at the same time feels kinda generic, for lack of a better word. I’ve seen this bubbly schoolgirl look and character archetype many times before, so she doesn’t really stand out much to me. Her gameplay also leaves a bit to be desired. She’s basically a copycat character, with her moveset consisting of an amalgamation of moves from various other characters, with a few original moves thrown in. That would be fine if the previously announced character, Raidou, didn’t do the exact same thing. Fortunately they selected different stolen moves for each, so at least they’ll both play very differently, but she also appears to be copying stances as well, rather than just individual moves, something Raidou doesn’t do. This opens up tons of gameplay possibilities and is probably one of the most interesting things about her. I can see her being a favorite among high-level players, who will find ways to wreck people like nobody’s business with her diverse move selection.
I hope that critique didn’t sound too negative. I do like her, I just think they could’ve done a bit more to make her more interesting. If nothing else, she looks to be tons of fun to play, and in the end that’s all that really matters to me. Just one month to go before release…
Very cool to have an episode set back at the house. Overall, a very fun finale. With Hana being president now, it does make me wonder if they remember Momo, or if its like she never existed?
Yay, Ryo-Ohki is alive after all! lol
Ukan wears that GP uniform well
tuxedodouche , and at least Mihoshi seems to actually leave the house and go to work sometimes…It’s interesting to see that Momo and Beni traveled to Earth and worked at the shrine, if not founded it themselves. But how did they know where to go?
This poses several new questions. Did they not know, and simply built a shrine in an ideal location that Tenchi’s ancestors just happened to take over? Are Beni and/or Momo actually Tenchi’s ancestors!?And what was up with the visitors at the shrine? Man-Hachiko with (presumably) his wife, Hana and daughter, Touri. That was odd. The only possibly explanation I can think of is that it was to show that there are multiple iterations of everyone throughout time and space, and that these alternate iterations don’t necessarily have to be identical to the “present-day” versions like the previous feudal-era council trio was. If so, that bit of info feels rather… extraneous. Or maybe I’m just reading too much into it…
One thing I do find odd was the fact that Juraian politics never really came into play regarding Momo and Beni. Ayeka and Sasami never reacted to them either, and as far as I can remember their reasons for fleeing Jurai were never fully explained. It was just like, “oh, by the way, Momo is Juraian (and Beni too?) and she has a ship and a sword just like Tenchi’s. Those latter two things will be important later, but her nationality? Nah, you can forget about that. We’re not really going to talk about it again.”
Am I over-thinking this, or is that underground… thing Mihoshi was searching for a possible hint at a continuation? That bit felt kinda out-of-place, like it might’ve been important, but was downplayed by Mihoshi getting distracted by food.
And not to question the accuracy of the translation or discredit the work that was done on the subs, but was the elusive “Sou-sama” (did I spell that right?) actually a name that was mentioned, or was it a possible mistranslation? Or was it supposed to be Momo’s father, from the Jurai flashback? If so, the show didn’t do a very good job of making that clear.
Washu is still up to her usual tricks. Not surprised she was able to weasel her way out police custody kiyonesmile1 That underground tree-chamber looks awfully familiar…
