Blazer Drive - Chapter 4

Showdown At 003

Blazer Drive 4 

The chapter start with the introduction of Daichi’s current enemy and his partner. Shiroh confounds Daichi with Yuuma.

He attacks using a robott arm mysticker that he combines with other mystickers to give it different powers. It seems that you normally need some kind of amplifier to use a rare mysticker like Daichi’s. Which means Daichi must be special or have a lot of potential to be able to use it like that.

Daichi is about to collapse, being that he’s exhausted from his previews fight, and Shiroh is going for the finishing blow when the girl finds them.

She apologizes and they are introduced. Tamaki and Shiroh are also two Guardians.

Daichi and Shiroh fight a lot. They are probably "rivals" from now on.

They are found by Beast, Yuuma’s boss. He’s a strong and dangerous Blazer. Beast doesn’t care about the mysticker. He was just a trap for them to send some strong guardian so that he could fight him.

He’s stronger than them. They need teamwork to beat him.

He uses a rare mysticker that turns him into a beast.

In order to work together well. Daichi offers his captured mysticker and Shiroh gives him another in return. The one Daichi receives is a wire weapon. This was what he was lacking to conduct his electrical attacks. Both mystickers are very powerful and reject Tamaki’s idea to serve as a decoy.

They combine both attacks into one and beat Beast. Beast retreats.

More characters and power are being introduced but, the interesting stuff is still to come. It’s a good entertainment series for now.

Anyone else seing the similarity between Daichi’s new sticker and Satan’s hand from 666 Satan?

Blazer Drive - Chapter 3

They finally arrive at the Guardian Division.

It seems, even they don’t know where the rare mystickers come from. It’s their main goal to find that out.

They meet the Division Head. She’s kind of.. "unique" lol. She has the ability to sense if someone is a Blazer or has the potential. She can sense something in Misora. It’s good to know she will be an active fighter and not just some girl in need of constant rescuing.

Daichi is sent on his first mission with Kuroki. He has to capture a fire mysticker user and retrieve a rare mysticker that he’s carrying.

Some comedy excuse puts Kuroki out of the picture and it’s time for Daichi to fight for real.

Yuma has a lot more experience and already has other mystickers that he combines for more powerful attacks. Fire is not the best match for Daichi’s electricity and he doesn’t have a wire like Ginga to direct his powers.

Daichi ends up using a smart strategy to create a water path to channel the electricity through.

Just as Daichi is about to return home, another Blazer appears. The way he talks, I first though that he was also from the Guardian Division and the situation would be just a misunderstanding. But, I don’t think the Division Head would send another Blazer and also without informing him of Daichi and Kuroki. Maybe he’s from another organized group?

Blazer Drive - Chapter 2

Kuroki explains that some Blazers stray away from the right path, like the one earlier, they are called Nora-Bure. There´s an organization that fights this guys. Ginga and him are part of that. He’s now taking Daichi to it.

He also tells Dachi that his brother could still be alive, althogh his reason to believe that is just really hope.

Daichi sweres to get stronger and bring his brother back.

Ginga’s friend already knows why Daichi was being targeted but, he tells him he doesn’t know. Daichi probably has something special that allows him to be stronger, or something like that. I mean, almost every shonen main character has something special, that most others characters don’t, inside.

I may not have understood everything correctly, since the scan I read didn’t have a very coherent translation. I hope more groups pick up this series as it gets more popular.

Daichi must leave Shiro to his friends care before leaving and he ends up being found by Misora. He can’t tell her the truth and ends up being the "bad" guy, much like his brother was to him. It also seems like he loves Misora and she loves him too.

Daichi and Kuroki make an interesting and funny duo, they are often joking and making fun of each other.

Daichi is put through a test to see if nows the importance of his power and when he should or shouldn’t use it. He passes thanks to his brother’s teatchings and Misora’s appearance. Now, they are also taking her to the Guardian Division.

Although it wasn’t a "real" fight scene, I really liked the art and expressions of the characters, it reminded me of thos 666 Satan cool moments. This chapter has put this series on a higher level for me, I hope it gets even better than 666 Satan.

Overall, this chapter was cool, better than the first in my opinion. There were some really funny scenes and current plot is getting me excited enough to want to know what’s gonna happen next.

Blazer Drive - Chapter 1

The Inheritance

 blazer drive 1

This new series is from Kishimoto Seishi, twin brother of Naruto’s mangaka, better known for creating 666 Satan.

In the close future, mankind has found a new eco-energy system. It’s called Mysticker. They hope this will help Earth prevente damage being caused by the global warming stop polution. Tokyo has been chosen as the subject for experimenting this new energy.

The Mystickers are stickers that have different powers like electricity and fire. This powers can be used by sticking them to an object.

When I first saw the main character, I though I was actually seing Jio from 666 Satan. But, taking aside the physical similarity they are different characters.

Daichi belongs to a team of Mysticker users. I’m not sure of the true purpose behind this teams. They see another team coming and creating trouble. So they go to help the people being attacked. In the fight Daichi uses a fire sticker on one of enemy’s clothes and they catch fire. This guy later tries to get revenge and sticks an ice sticker directly to Daichi’s skin. But, surprisingly, the sticker doesn’t freeze Daichi’s body and instead sends an "attack" of pointy ice blocks. Daichi’s brother appears and saves them. Seems like is a skilled Mysticker user.

Daichi’s parents dyed when taking a detour to buy a present for Daichi. Daichi thinks it’s his fault and that his brother resents him.

Meanwhile, somebody has been searching for Daichi. This guy sticks the Mystickers in his own skin and then controls it’s powers. He calls himself a Blazer.

Nanba finds Daichi and tries to take him with him, but Ginga comes and protects him. Nanba wins the fight using a sticker that takes Ginga to another dimension. Just before disapearing, Ginga tells Daichi about Blazers and how he tried to protect him from those people. He gives him a rare electricity sticker which never ends and disapears.

Daichi uses this producing a really powerful attack that surprises Nanba and leaves him knocked out.

Then, another new character appears. Kuroki, he’s the one who has helped his brother. Daichi takes his offer to know the truth.

I liked this chapter, but I think some stuff could have been done better. The way everybody just says unnecessary things, in the situation context, like they are purposely explaining it to the reader, because he’s to dumb to understand by itself, gets on my nerves. But, the comedy was good and the fighting mechanics have big potential.
