For anyone who has tried to use YouTube within Japan, I’m sure you’re are more than aware of the annoying commercials that will randomly play at the beginning of almost every video you try to watch.  There are ways to block these ads with ad-ons to your browsers and such.  But I don’t think you’ll want to miss out on this one commercial:

This is a new 15 second commercial for DOD3 that has been appearing in random commercials on YouTube and also on TV in Japan.  It’s excruciatingly short but we’re able to see a couple new things in here!  Let’s take a look!!

Here’s a crazy image of Mikhail drenched in an eerie, blue light. It’s difficult to see much emotion on a dragon’s face, but with her mouth open wide like this, I can’t imagine it could be due to anything good. I doubt she’s just hungry for grazing cows.

This is such a sweet image of Zero gently caressing Mikhail’s face. We’ve only seen Zero’s harsh side, but this proves that there is a feeling heart inside there somewhere… Maybe this makes her close herself off from others while wearing her unfeeling warrior’s mask.

Here we see a rather sorrowful and/or weak image of Two, seemingly exploding into a ball of light.  We can see many glyphs behind her as well. These look quite similar to the rings of light that surround enemies in past gameplay videos.  Could this be Two’s final moments…?

And here is an image of Five also expelling yellow energy bursts similar to Two above.  We can also see that she may be drenched in her own blood, with a pool of red behind where she stands.  It may not be anything at all, but it almost seems like there are several dark lines (possibly swords?) being thrown at her from multiple directions. Eeek! Poor Five!  This image also calls back to her retched condition that we saw in the 2nd Promotional Video.  *ahem*  Huge sword through the chest…

Holy angry rage, One!  Even though we cannot see who she’s engaged in battle with in this scene, I can only imagine that she’s fighting Zero here. It would be very satisfying to find out that she is the one who destroys Zero’s left arm.

There’s not much detail in this image but it is amazing.  I believe this is Zero, with her hair and white garments blowing in the from a gigantic explosion or fire in the distance.  You can almost feel the heat from that blaze.

And again we see the historical drawings of the five winged Utautai Goddesses with a scary looking head in the center of their circle.  What could that be!?

Lastly, here’s a nice closeup of Zero with her sword raised in defiance while Mikhail looks on from behind. Could this be the paired image with One above?

So, what do you think about this short commercial video?  There weren’t any huge surprises here–how could there be in such a short running time?  But it was very nice to see something new!  It feels like it’s been a long time since we had any new footage, so this was greatly appreciated!
