The official SINoALICE twitter account just posted a couple designs for the new character. They’ve redacted the character’s name, but if you saw my last post regarding this, then you’d know that it’s actually a human Mikhail!
Since I designed the DOD3 characters a long time ago, I find myself thinking “What do DOD3 characters look like again?” I hand trouble with that sort of ambiguity, but I imagined that anything would work as long as I made it cute. That’s pretty much how I came up with this design.ーFujisaka Kimihiko
He was originally a dragon, so he’s borrowed wings* and a tail* from that design. I began designing it with the thought that he’ll attack by grasping the heart, powering up by squeezing it, and getting angry by ??? The electric looking bolts are supposed to resemble blood vessels.ーFujisaka Kimihiko * educated guess from the obvious. xD
The collaboration with DOD3 will begin on Tuesday, March 26!
The other day, Square Enix released a preview for the new SINoALICE x DOD3 collaboration. Here are a couple things that we know about the details:
Zero, One, Accord will be playable. Upon logging in, all players will receive Zero (Breaker) as a gift.
DOD3 character designer Fujisaka Kimihiko has illustrated a new character for the collaboration, but the name is blurred out in the video. That being said, if you pause the video just right, you can clearly see that it says:
「少年ミハイル」= Boy Mikhail
Yoko Taro has penned the story for these collaboration stages, so prepare some tissues…
Lastly, here are some photos from the PV:
Zero, One, and Accord will be playable characters!
New original character design by Fujisaka Kimihiko!
This is the young human form for Mikhail!
He is somewhat of a 4th “secret” character in terms of marketing.
If you look closely at the center of the “ribcage” looking part of the dragon design, you can see there’s actually a heart inside of it…!
It looks like the “red lightning” is also originating from the heart.
New original story penned by Yoko Taro!
Voice actors Uchida Maaya and Toyama Mao reprise their respective
roles as Zero and Mikhail.
Um… That’s Five’s glyph…
Zero: This world is surely my curse.
Chapter Title: Harmonic Interference
Available on March 26
Lastly on a couple of the screens we can see some of the story text. It’s really difficult to make the second half of it out, but so far this is what I can read. If anyone can help flesh it out some more, please let me know!
English:
The first thing I could feel was pain.
As I tried to call out, only air escaped my lips.
Besides that, what’s going on?
A sword lies firmly in my right hand,
Whereas when I look at my left hand…… Some metallic armor glistens brilliantly. My thoughts and feelings,
??? That’s right.I, I was– fighting. ??? friend. I must… ???
Zero
