Synopsis

SHOW An SOS arrives from Yamataikoku, a country that ought to have come to ruin already. In pursuing this signal, you arrive at the boundary lands where the souls of the dead roam free. There awaits the meeting with new people, or perhaps, the reunion with comrades of old. The numerous connections formed in the past intersect, and the Champion Tea Ceremony Battle thus commences!

New Welfare 4* Ruler

SHOW Class Ruler Profile The second queen of the legendary Yamataikoku. According to the Wajinden, after Himiko, the first queen, had passed away, the young queen Iyo returned the lawless country to order. However, after this, Yamataikoku suddenly disappeared from the records, fading into the shadow of history. Just like with Himiko, the mysteries surrounding Iyo are many, and not much is know about her with certainty, even today. Iyo, the Second Queen of Yamataikoku, finally takes the stage! I hope we'll get along, Mr. Futureman! IYO SR**** Max ATK 8977 Max HP 11756

New Limited 5* Berserker

SHOW Class Berserker Profile Both a merchant, and a tea ceremony master, famed throughout both the Sengoku period, and the Azuchi–Momoyama period. Her childhood name was Tanaka Yoshirou, later taking the names Sensoueki and Housensai upon entering the priesthood. The name of Rikyuu by which she became widely known was her Buddhist cognomen. Known as the perfecter of the Wabicha-style, she rejected the until-then held belief that specialty cups were to be held in high esteem, bringing about a unprecedented revolution in the beliefs through her own way of tea. In addition, she held behind-the-scenes influence over the various Daimyou as she was one of the confidants of the leading figure at the time; Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Do feel free to enjoy this humble Rikyuu's tea to your heart's content. SEN NO RIKYUU SSR***** Max ATK 12463 Max HP 12028

New Limited 4* Saber

SHOW Class Saber Profile Yamanami Keisuke, vice-commander, later commander, of the Shinsengumi, a special police force active in Kyoto during the Bakumatsu. He is said to have been born in Sendai of Mutsu Province, though the details of his early life and career are unknown. He challenged Kondou Isami to a duel between sword schools at his Tennen Rishin style dojo, the Shiei-kan, and lost. This occasion gave him a deep admiration of Kondou's character, and henceforth, he would become a pupil at the Shiei-kan, working together with Kondou. He later participated in the Roushigumi, and after the formation of the Mibu Roushigumi in Kyoto, he would come to bear a central role in the Shinsengumi. The lone petal of a mountain cherry ephemerally scattering in the wind. The kind commander of the Shinsengumi, Yamanami Keisuke. YAMANAMI KEISUKE SR**** Max ATK 8726 Max HP 12498

I wonder who they're referencing with "The man who returned from hell" subtitle.

[Comun]

It's called Neo Yamataikoku and Yamataikoku ends with Serizawa going to hell, so I want to believe it's him.

[castor212]

if i missed last guda guda event am i shit out of luck story wise

[Oz1337]

It's called Neo Yamataikoku and Yamataikoku ends with Serizawa going to hell, so I want to believe it's him.

Would be nice if it was him, I really liked him in the previous event, but I pretty much gave up on him appearing as Servant once he appeared as a boss.

NA is going to have this event soon, so just wait for videos to appear.

[Comun]

Right, Yamataikoku starts in NA the same day Neo Yamataikoku starts in JP.

[Oz1337]

Right, Yamataikoku starts in NA the same day Neo Yamataikoku starts in JP.

I wonder if they planned this to be released at the same time or if it's a massive coincidence.

[Reign]

I wonder if they planned this to be released at the same time or if it's a massive coincidence.

The same thing tended to happen with collab reruns in JP being around the same time as the first run in NA, I think it's on purpose.

[Miyazawa_Lulu]

Yeah, I feel like lately they're trying to somehow match both of them more than they used to.

I'm really happy with it being related to Yamataikoku: it's my fav Gudaguda along with last years', I legit cried in some parts with it and if it means a possibility of Yamanami-san returning I'm even more all for it.

But boy the list of potential candidates to be the Gudaguda man returning from hell sure is long.

[Comun]

The trope of Keikenchi sending people to hell is way more frequent than I remembered, wow.

[castor212]

god, should i suffer reading the first yamataikoku in youtube instead of waiting...

[fumei]

You might as well, it's good.

[Comun]

Izou is already playable.

[Lobo]

Twitter is going crazy about this: Ishida Mitsunari's mon is on the PV's background

[Gold Experience]

I'd like to say Mitsunari is too out of the blue, but Ranmaru happened.

[Oz1337]

Continuing AmADo's post from the General Thread since it fits here more:

ppl are fast to find clues. here are several new character prediction.
-Sen no Rikyu (the famous tea guy)
-Ishida Mitsunari (family crest spotted in pv)
-Hideyoshi

I really hope we do end up getting Sen no Rikyu. I'm really curious how he would be as a Servant, feels like it has the opportunity for some interesting design.
