I literally forgot to mention this last year

(Spoiler to Orega Fire's adventure im the Manga, to those who hasn't read it yet?)

_____

So...I was reading the Orega Fire's adventure in the manga because I got bored and...

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO ROBBED BEFORE

You're telling me that the Oreca Battle could've actually go on a different story if they were to choose the manga's storyline??

We're so robbed...

1. The main character introduction felt more natural

2. The adults can see the monster instead of just the players

3. Orega Fire can kickass?? I wish to see more of that

4.I was not expecting the manga went for a darker turn (I know they're gonna removed the blood in the anime but..holy crap)

5. Maybe I forgot about the anime but I really love that version of Mafuyu's backstory.

6.I adore seeing Nanawaraig's other personality, kinda wish they kept that

7.I know they gonna need a bigger budget for this but man, I wish we can see the other monsters that weren't show in the anime

8.Pazuzu was supposed to be a big threat in this story?? And that Mus became Orega Fire's Ally in the anime too?? Yeah we're totally robbed.

The list can go on and on...

That's how I felt reading the manga for the very first time, it became my favorite manga of the year

GOSH, I FELT- The anime and manga felt so much different, it was so wild- Both have their own uniqueness in their execution for the story, like how the anime is really trying to give the highlights to the protagonists from New Chapters series

First off, I am very much in agreement with how much better the introduction for our battlers are in the manga! Data and Gantetsu didn't just suddenly appear, and also get a highlight of how their personality are like!

Also the dark turn that the manga took, that was actually one of the aspect I like from the manga as well! The shocking card ripping, Fire who actually got hurt from the battle, and even how the adults can see the monsters and the damage of what happened after a battle as well, that put much more stakes in the battles! The anime instead give us the arc where Tanta fall into darkness and betray the team at episode 4 which is... actually pretty shocking and cool as well tbh-

Also, the pacing the manga have with the demon kings' respective arcs was much better as well I especially loved how they let Data fought against Demon King Azul by himself first, it makes much more sense for his character growth! I felt like that moment was stolen by the duel/rivalry between CuChulainn and GeBulg-

Like, friggin dammit man, we could have more time to process the Kazegakure Village arc to give Oroshi much more believable motive for poisoning Nanawarai as well- If only Saqqara's arc didn't hoard that much episodes ksjrgrehrh-

But also, the end arc after all of the Demon Kings finally defeated in the manga... feels a bit uncooked tbh- Even tho Pazuzu being the new threat to the Oreca Boys group is really cool (especially with him disguising himself as a human-), I still feel like the arc with the New Chapters' protagonists feels a bit under-prepared

I can definitely felt the lack of preparation within Rock's chapter the most Like, since the group have defeated both Saqqara and Enma early on, we end up having Gozumezu as the enemy of this chapter Which... kinda funny because Gozu and Mezu should've been defeated along with Enma on chapter 16-

...I end up rambling as well, lmao-

Anyway, the anime did have some pacing issue toward the end, while the only issue with the manga is within the new arc after all of the Demon Kings were defeated Kinda making it feels like the manga was planned to end after defeating Evil Lord Mus-

24 Hours of Le Mans Raises Questions About Sports-Car Racing’s Future

I love museums, those places where history repeats itself every day whether you are a first-time visitor or a long-time and frequent denier.

The Musée des 24 Heures du Mans is located just outside the main entrance to the circuit at Le Mans. If you were driving on the racetrack, it is 900 feet off to your left, as you climb the hill toward the Dunlop Bridge. It is filled with race cars and memorabilia, displaying past glories and renewing faded memories. In past years, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), the Le Mans organizer, held its annual press conference in this building before the start of the race. However, the ACO this year moved the location of the Friday presser to a new location, the Welcome Center which overlooks pit exit in the vendor village. I was optimistic this new location would be the first indication of a new direction for Le Mans and the FIA World Endurance Championship.

The press conference’s main focus covered the ACO’s plans for the near and immediate future, in particular the 2020 LMP1 hybrid regulations, which the ACO says are aimed to reduce costs. These cost savings would include a single set of bodywork (no high downforce or low downforce options), reducing private testing and wind tunnel time, restricting development areas on new cars to only one area (chassis, engine, or hybrid system) per year, reducing the amount of team staff at the races, limiting the number of gearboxes, and so forth.

All of the cost cutting ideas and new regulations mean brand new cars ready to race in three years. The new cars would have a slightly larger cockpit with improved visibility, stiffer monocoque with better protection for a driver’s legs, the retaining of two energy-recover systems limited to 8 megajoules, the introduction of active aerodynamics including moveable front and rear wings, and the introduction of new energies such as hydrogen.

Oh, and a rapid recharging system: “A new road-going technology will be applied to racing, the plug-in hybrid. The cars will be given a rapid recharge at the same time as they are being refueled.” So a car comes in for a pit stop, gets refueled, and in the same amount of time, the hybrid system gets a rapid recharge—plug-in style, just like your garage. The car must then cover one kilometer after each refueling stop in full electric mode, and take the checkered flag in full electric mode. According the ACO/WEC press release, “the details are being defined.”

The FIA already has a plug-in and play racing series: Formula E. Granted, those plug-in units are batteries that last 30 minutes each, and they power open-wheel race cars at one day events held in major city centers around the world. And Formula E is doing a great job promoting “green racing,” and showing urbanites an easy-on-the-eyes-and-ears sustainable racing series. Formula E, you might even say, is proving to be a global success story.

I am just having a hard time understanding the direction the folks at Le Mans and WEC are headed, especially when they use the catch-all term “cost capping” on a set of regulations that will take three years to develop and be locked in place for another four years after that. That adds up to a seven-year racing-technology commitment in an automotive production car environment that is changing rapidly by the quarter. After hearing the news of the proposed 2020 regulations, Lucas di Grassi, former Audi LMP1 and current Formula E driver, tweeted, “I believe this approach is [still] way too complex & expensive and road relevancy won’t matter anymore.”

The 24 Hours of Le Mans started last Saturday at 3:00 sharp, and within 30 seconds the tone for the next 24 hours was set. The all-Toyota front row was split by the No.1 Porsche driven by Neel Jani by the time the cars raced under the Dunlop Bridge. The only LMP1 non-hybrid, a ByKolles (a marque with limited marketing power) car, went off-course the first and only time it approached the Tertre Rouge corner, and it kicked-up a piece of bodywork that damaged the front end of the No. 9 Toyota Hybrid. Suddenly the six-car LMP1 field was reduced to five. Thus began a very long (or short) first day of crashes, heartbreak, and disbelief.

Four hours later, the No. 2 Porsche was parked in its garage with a hybrid-system electric motor failure. One hour and 19 laps down to the leaders, it rejoined the race. This marked the beginning of every LMP1 Hybrid car having serious issues. In fact, by 1:30 a.m., the Nos. 7 and 9 Toyota hybrids had retired, and the remaining No. 8 car was 30 laps behind the leading Porsche of Nick Tandy, Andre Lotterer, and Jani. And things pretty much remained that way until the No. 1 Porsche stopped on the track with less than three and a half hours remaining in the race.

Was the future of hybrid-powered sports-car racing determined on Sunday afternoon as another high budget, factory prototype rolled to a stop along the French countryside? Perhaps. It wasn’t until an hour to go in the race when the winning No. 2 Porsche 919 hybrid, from a program with an annual racing budget estimated to be $150 million, finally caught and passed the No. 38 Oreca-Gibson for the lead. This Jackie Chan DC Racing entry, with a yearly budget perhaps 75-percent less than the LMP1 factory efforts, nearly stole the show, and brought into clear focus the contrast between exceptionally expensive technology, and old-school, much-lower-cost racing.

Timo Bernhard drove the last stint in the No. 2 Porsche. Along with his Kiwi co-drivers Brendon Hartley and Earl Bamber, the three drivers pushed hard for 19 hours, charging through the field and delivering Porsche its 19th overall win at Le Mans.

The Chan car, driven by Oliver Jarvis, Ho-Pin Tung, and Thomas Laurent, finished second overall and first in the LMP2 class.

LMGTE-Pro honors went to the No. 97 Aston Martin of Darren Turner, Daniel Serra, and Jonathan Adam. Adam had an epic closing lap duel with Jordan Taylor in the No. 63 Corvette. Taylor, with co-drivers Jan Magnussen and Antonio Garcia, finished third. Second went to the No. 67 Ford GT of Pipo Derani, Harry Tincknell, and Andy Priaulx.

The LMGTE-Am title was claimed by Will Stevens, Robert Smith, and Dries Vanthoor in the No. 84 Ferrari 488 GTE.

So, the 85th running of the world’s greatest endurance race exposed all that is good and not so good about the current state of sports-car racing. The LMP1 hybrids are the world’s most technologically advanced cars. They are wicked fast, as witnessed by Toyota’s Kamui Kobayashi breaking the track record by more than two seconds. But despite the huge budgets and the hours of testing, the technology in most of these cars (the clutch in Kobayashi and company’s No. 7 Toyota was its downfall) was not strong enough to last 24 very hot hours. The old motto of “Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday,” could easily be replaced by “Race on Sunday, Repair on Monday.”

Meanwhile, the success of the entire LMP2 class, powered by spec engines, and with much smaller budgets, will not go unnoticed by major car companies who have zero association with these teams. Audi left the World Endurance Championship for the much cheaper Formula E option. No manufacturers have yet to fill the Audi void, but several, including Mercedes-Benz, have followed Audi’s lead to the more budget-friendly, greener series.

Gibson is a wonderful company, and makes great engines. But Gibson won’t buy a full-page advertisement in the “Wall Street Journal,” build a 25,000-square-foot hospitality unit just outside the Ford Chicane at Le Mans, or spend millions of marketing dollars promoting its brand. But Cadillac will, as will Mazda, Honda, and others campaigning the IMSA DPi cars in the U.S., who are not racing in the WEC series.

Following the race, two prominent and important men in the world of sports-car racing had rather interesting things to say about the state of affairs. Hugues de Chaunac is president of ORECA, the company which built the LMP2 car that finished in second place, and is also a consultant to the Toyota team. He said the LMP1 hybrid is “probably too complicated of a car.” He continued, “It’s important for us to reduce all this technology a little for something which is less complicated.”

The words of Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota Motor Corporation, also speak volumes. He said after the race, “While the hybrid technology that has advanced through competition in the FIA World Endurance Championship puts its abilities on display in six-hour races, it might be that it is not yet ready for the long distance of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.”

We will see if history repeats itself in a few months, when another press conference will be held at a WEC race to update everyone on the 2020 plans. This past weekend will be examined, both what occurred on the track, and what was said afterward, both publically and privately. The speaker at this future conference will either pivot and be hailed as a visionary, or will pursue the past, and be viewed as nothing but headed for more drama, more trouble, and more questions.

Meanwhile, historians will make their entries on Le Mans 2017. Kobayashi’s 3:14.791 record lap-time will be handled in one sentence. The Aston Martin versus Corvette battle for the LMGTE-Pro win will receive a paragraph. And the overall winning Porsche 919, which spent an hour in the garages for repairs, and 23 hours on the track where it belonged? That car, its crew, and its drivers get an entire chapter devoted to the honor they brought to the German marque.

Decades from now, drivers Hartley, Bamber, and Bernhard will reunite in Le Mans or Stuttgart, walk into a museum and see an old friend they drove to glory and into the history books one long ago weekend in France. Something that has been repeated by Porsche drivers 18 times before. The question, as always, is what will the modern cars of the day look like by then?

Are the protagonist for Chapter 1 of Oreca Battle 2 going to be dragonian?????

When my friend shows me this thumbnail, I thought "Hey, these two have similar vibes to Lind and Bemas from New Chapter 7"

Then the translation for the thumbnails fjdhfjsjcjs-

"Demon Sea's Dragon Palace", skfjdjcjshxhs-

Levi??? Will I be able to see Leviathan again?? More Sea Dragons monsters??? A bit of a wild shot, but Dran getting 4* evo??? /slapped

Pls pls pls-

[n41r]

*slips in*

First of all, Hi pookie and second-

Tanta mentioned maybe?? Because it said something about admiring heroes

Annndddd I think we now know where stan is from! Our first MC that isn't from Babylon

Now we know that there will be indeed more kingdom introduction coming up, like White Queen's kingdom and this Litania kingdom(?)

Oowh shoot, so Oreca Battle 2's prologue is actually taking place on the Kingdom of Litania/Ritania??? That's an interesting news-

Even tho we have Red Queen's full evo, but the story so far is actually not taking place at Babyloa, but Litania instead?? ...wait, it's not full evo, it's only up to 3☆ Does this mean we are going to get 4☆ evo for White Queen instead later on????

There's also mention of a neighboring kingdom named Elamia as well which could be the kingdom Lancelot belong to, but we can only wait for confirmation for now--

Tanta being the hero that Stan admired is a high possibility as well, since it was written that Tanta went on a journey through various places/kingdoms/continents before becoming True Hero Tanta on New Chapter 7

Sure it is true that Burn, Flow, Rock, and Hayate also have "Hero" title in their name, but Tanta's title is tad more special since it is written as "True Hero" instead atleast that's what I read with the help of auto-translate skrjg-

Also a bit oot, but I suddenly thought of something with the mention of Ritania Kingdom- Just like how the name Babyloa and Mesotania might be based on Babylonia and Mesopotamia, do you think the name Ritania based on Britain???? Just something that passed my mind since in Indonesian, Britain is written as Britania-

Then... which country could Elamia be based on? Just a passing thought-

[n41r]

Wait wait wait, there's lore on each chapter?! I just know each character to be connected just by one chapter each so aaaaaaaaaaaa- I didn't know and I read on the bits of oreca battle manga you've posted about and I crave more of those mangas! Please share more about the lores you want to give, anything really!

P.S. Hope you can get 4☆ Magica someday, even though Dark Magica's laughing at your suffering rn

Yes there are actually lore and even side stories surrounding each chapters! And if you try to connect the dots, some chapters lore are actually intertwining with each other as well (ex. Prologue with Ch. 4, Ch. 1 with Ch. 5, etc.)

It also took me a long time to figure out how the lore goes- Thanks for some of the official manga previews, fanarts, and fan-theories from the JP fandom on both Pixiv, the fanwiki, and twitter, I could connect some dots that makes the most sense to me

The hardest lore for me to figure out are New Chapter 5 and New Chapter 7, since there are very little fan stuff about these chapters-

There might be some clues on what is going on with New Chapter 5 in Demizu Posuka-sensei's manga for Ginger Ale, since some of the key characters from this manga also made a pretty significant appearance in the game For example, Ramune who is according to the fanwiki, is the one who call out/resurrect Azul's and Merrow's souls in New Chapter 5

And... I might make separate post of me rambling about New Chapter 6 after this, because it is one of my most favorite untranslated chapter

And if I were to write it here, it might get too long, since this answer is already this long by itself-

A sudden afternoon thought hit me yesterday and just sticks with me after reading two small comics that gives me a bit of context of things, it's just a silly theory of mine that went on in circles and long descriptions. What if with whatever happened to Raisiya in new Chapter 7 brings in Star Warrior Light (at least from what I can understand by hearing his dialogue on JP gameplays) then prompts the time dragon and the purple cloaked prophet to intervine from making a different outcome, like essentially making an endless time loop with small variety of outcomes of different interactions and probably more? This got to me when I was listening to three different Raisiya's themes. The first goes on at a normal pace with intrumentals, most likely wind instruments yet continues on with different volunes without letting down the tempo. The seocnd goes on a bit slower but the wind instruments is changed to chorus, probably with the purple eye in his design. The third one felt like there's no more restraint left on the melody, going all in with adrenaline and full on rock. It's like as if he's urging for an outcome to happen and there's no more holding back the strongest abilities either side has to be, probably with how Light has a dialogue with him when facing against Raisiya. Then whatever Light wanted to accomplish in Raisiya's stead prompted both the time dragon and the purple cloaked prophet to intervine and prevent the future from changing... at least I think? Yep, I'm still drawing blanks on many things about Oreca lore so it's entirely my guess with many nudges from watching and reading JP contents.

As for my ask on this, are there any other interpertations of the players aka as Battlers/Master/Summoner in Oreca Battle? I like what you came up with and I still hadn't realized that until now, with how there's some fusions are limited as far as I know of. Hope it's okay and sorry for the long ramble there! Also is it okay if I reblog some of your posts?

Sorry the answer took awhile! I rarely touch the lore on the New Chapter series, so I needed time to read up some stuff from the wiki first and opening my twitter's bookmark for the other answer-

I read up on the JP fanwiki that the reason why Light appeared was because of Raisiya (thought it's unclear to me what the reason was-), it probably have something to do with what Raisiya knew about the future? There was also some mention about wanting to change the future, and that reason might be the reason why the time dragons and the Prophet Sybil shows up as well

An interesting take, tho! Thank you for sharing the bits of lore that you found out!

Oreca Battle OSTs, huh? I rarely touch them as well actually, I kind of afraid I will get too emotional listening to them- There is this one time I cried listening to Dia's theme song, I'm still unsure why I cried tbh-

And to answer your questions, I'm not really sure why, but I rarely see mention or interpretation of human battler at the JP community One of my interpretation was actually inspired by my mutual's tweets, but it looks like I didn't bookmark the very tweet that inspires me- But here are some tweets from my mutual from twitter, nefer_ty that also inspires me (I hope Nefer-san is okay with me sharing some of their tweets outside of twitter-) (1) (2) (3)

There is also this one cool Oreca Battle artist who makes some fancomic of their original Oreca Battlers, and they are amazing! I don't know if it counts as the kind of interpretation you're looking for, but I'm including their Pixiv link as well (x)

Also, please feel free to reblog my posts! I'm only keeping my self-insert stuff as un-reblog-able, but the other posts should be okay In fact, I'll be elated if you reblogged them, so please feel free to do so! ヾ(｡･ω･)ﾉ☆ﾟ
