Never in a million years had anyone guessed that Tamsoft's cult classic busty ninja schoolgirl game would be localized for release outside of Japan, due to obvious reasons.
For those who don't know, Senran Kagura is a side-scrolling 3D beat 'em up revolving around the Hanzo National Academy, a high school with a secret curriculum for training modern-day shinobi ninja. The story follows the adventures of five female students learning the assassin trade, who must go up against criminal ninja girls from the Hebijo Academy. Burst is actually the second title in the series, and features the entire first game as well as a second storyline featuring the Hebijo girls. It was considerate of Xseed to simply jump right to the second game for the translation treatment as it's a much better deal.
The game's biggest draw is that your playable character's uniform has a separate health meter to the character herself. Taking repeated damage will cause the uniform to slowly shred away until nothing is left, resulting in additional damage taken to her HP. Each character appears to have a ludicrous bust size that seems almost out of place for the slightly chibi art style, and the inflated mammaries bounce around on the screen in 3D as if they were, well, inflated. The art style is quite pretty despite the anatomical oddities, and the in-game models as well as the drawn character cels look crisp and pleasant, except for one oddity: the texture maps on the girls' bouncing bosoms occasionally look stretched and distorted as if someone had used an N64-era "bigger boobs" cheat code, which would certainly explain the proportions seen in the game. The 3D effect switches on and off, usually only showing depth during transformation sequences and dialogue scenes. The backgrounds are detailed enough to have benefited from 3D layering, but it's not a huge loss.
After playing the first few missions, I can say that the game merits praise for being a decent beat 'em up, with tight, responsive controls and a slick retro arcade feel. The story is overly silly and the cast consists of predictable, clichd anime girl personality stereotypes, but it's light, digestible drivel that's entertaining enough and only serves to tie the levels together and halfway explain the scenarios; you don't play a game like this for the riveting narrative. Nonetheless, it's easy to form quick, if shallow, fondness for the cast and I'm interested to see what happens to them throughout the remainder of the game.
I especially like the audio. The original Japanese voices are used for the game with no options for an English dub, perfect for a game like this. The music consists of Naruto-esque modern-classic Japanese instrumental rock, and it sounds great. It also looks as though there is a huge amount of unlockable costumes and bonus content, including animated movies, picture galleries and more.
I won't go into any more details at this point, but keep a watch out for our full review coming soon.
Momiji was raised to be Hayabusa ninja clan's Dragon Shrine Maiden like her older sister Kureha who was Ryu's childhood friend.[2] She was tasked with keeping the ancient relics passed down the Hayabusa village from the ancient Dragon Lineage and carrying out the Shrine Maiden's rites and rituals to purify the world of evil forces. Among the relics that the maidens were tasked with guarding is the Eye of the Dragon, a jewel said to contain the souls of the ancient Dragons. Kureha was killed when the village was attacked in 2004's Ninja Gaiden and the devastated Momiji began training under Ryu as a precaution, becoming a skilled kunoichi along with her shrine maiden duties and abilities.[3] Since then she supports and follows her master whenever he comes around. Momiji is a very gentle and caring young woman who is seen as an older sister figure by all of the village's children,[4] including the boy Sanji. Like her mentor Ryu Hayabusa, Momiji trains extensively to become one of the deadliest warriors in the Hayabusa village.
In Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, Momiji is playable in the game's first chapter,[5] but it is also possible to play her through the entire game after unlocking the special difficulty setting "The Way of Kunoichi".[6][7] After her session of training with Ryu, Momiji tells him to go ahead while she stays behind to pick flowers for Kureha's grave. She is attacked by the Black Spider clan who came retrieve the ancient relics of the Hayabusa clan. Though she manages to kill many Black Spider ninjas, she is overwhelmed by the fiendish Red Dragon and taken prisoner. At the Black Spider clan's base, Momiji is interrogated by Black Spider's Obaba for the Eye of the Dragon but turns out she managed to fuse the jewel into her soul, preventing Obama from killing her. The Fiends' leader Ishtaros eventually takes possession of the captive Momiji in hopes that she may lure Ryu and kill him. Dring the battle between Ryu and Ishtaros at the Gates of Hell, Ryu is overwhelmed by the Dark Dragonstones' power but the ghost of Kureha appears and draws out Momiji's soul. Together they release the Eye and imbue the Dragon Sword with its power, allowing it to become the True Dragon Sword that Ryu uses to defeat Ishtaros. Nicchae, the Greater Fiend of Destruction and Ishtaros's twin, appears and takes Momiji, Ishtaros' body and the eight Dark Dragonstones deeper into Hell in an attempt to reawaken the Vigoor Emperor. Nicchae's plan ends in failure, as the Dark Dragon consumes the Emperor and Ishtaros before bursting forth to threaten the world once again. Ryu defeats the Dark Dragon with the True Dragon Sword, and Momiji is finally rescued. After the incident, Momiji is reunited with the children of the Hayabusa Village and mourns Kureha alongside the children. She makes a vow at Kureha's grave to become stronger so she can defend herself and the village. She leaves Ryu a letter as she departs the village to train in her travels.
Momiji returns as a playable character in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.[8] While Ryu is away at Tokyo, the Hayabusa village is invaded once again by the Black Spider clan. As Jo battles Genshin, Momji rallies the Hayabusa ninjas to protect the rest of the villagers. Ryu later returns to the village and repels the invasion, killing almost all the invading Black Spider ninjas. Momiji soon realizes that Sanji has been taken captive, prompting her to go rescue him. As she travels to Tokyo, she encounters one of the Tengu Brothers and soundly defeats him. This leads her to Sanji, who is being held prisoner by both brothers. After her victorious battle, she reassures Sanji that she will always look out for him until he becomes a master ninja. As they return home, they are unknowingly saved by Muramasa, who kills a Black Spider ninja who is about to shoot an arrow at them. Momiji is also featured in the spin-off title ZEN Pinball: Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.[9]
In Ninja Gaiden 3, after Sanji finds Ryu unconscious outside and brings him to Momiji, she watches over him and helps him recover. During his journey to find his father in the shrine, she assists him in dealing with the Grip of Murder curse while helping him defeat the Black Spider ninja clan. Whenever the curse almost takes complete control over Ryu, Momiji uses her power to protect his mind and help him regain his senses. As they get near to the shrine, they are attacked by Obaba, but they manage to defeat her. Near the end of the battle, Momiji is knocked unconscious by Obaba, but Ryu manages to save her and brings her to the shrine to be taken care of by his father. When Canna attacks Tokyo as the Goddess and Ryu begins to become overwhelmed by Fiends, Momiji and Jo arrive just in time to save him. She gives her master the Eye of the Dragon before he departs, leaving her and his father to fight off the surrounding foes.
Momiji became playable again in the NG3 update Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge.[10] She also makes an appearance in the spin-off game Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z,[11] as an ally and lover of Ryu, who is an antagonist in this game. She arrives to give the Eye of the Dragon to him, and then Ryu saves her from peril.
In the fighting game Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate, Momiji joins the tournament in order to put what she has learned to the test.[12] She a makes playable appearances in the Wii U edition of Warriors Orochi 3 (Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper[13]), including in the game's duel mode.[14] She has previously also made an unplayable guest appearance in the Warriors series in Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce for the PlayStation 3, where she gives a series of quests to the player character who can earn the right to wield her Heavenly Dragon Naginata in battle.
Momiji (meaning "Autums Leaves" in Japanese) is a tall, young girl with hazel eyes and long black hair tied in a ponytail. She is both a shinobi (ninja) and a miko (shrine maiden).[15] The character was originally designed for Tomonobu Itagaki's Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword by a woman (Mariko Hirokane[16]), whose work on the game was her debut.[17] Director Yosuke Hayashi, who cosiders Momiji his "very own" character,[18] made his Sigma 2 design priorities clear: "How much sexier can a female ninja get?"[19] Hayashi said he has originally rejected an idea to make Ayane and Momiji playable in the original version of Ninja Gaiden 3 because he wanted to focus on Ryu.[20]
