The thunder bird is no longer in the power plant
Surge Blitzclique
Full art:
Flag:
“Thunder Alliance (BC) Flag”
TL note: “Thunder Alliance” (雷盟, raimei, homonym of 雷鳴, “thunder”) is used for the Blitzclique Spell/Trap cards, force-read as “Blitzclique” like the monster cards.
Jacket:
“Leather jacket, common for the BC”
Arm:
Top: “Her right arm is corroded from the hand up to about the height of the shoulder by a Lichtenberg figure“
Bottom: “Asymmetric hand design (the left hand does not have a Lichtenberg figure)”
Lower body:
“Her lower body wears a power-suit-like mecha that focuses in mobility.
Design wise, it gives a look of being patched together”
Flagspear (Weapon)
“Coil shape (for attacks and such)”
Hawk:
Top: “Surge’s partner: Grand Hawk”
Middle: “She rides on its back and attacks with a diving attack from the skies”
*Hawk noises* / Land
Arm: “Captured part of the mechanical beast as spoils of war!!”
TL note: The bird is described as 大鷹, which is the name for a goshawk, but this is probably a more generic “large” + “hawk” using each kanji instead.
Kowloon, Citadel of the Sky
Full art:
Description:
A city in mid-air inhabited by the few surviving humans
It has grown in scale through extensions using materials from the mechanical beasts.
Its plumbing, cables, support pillars, temporary reinforcement frames and more are exposed,
giving an impression of being on the edge between falling apart and staying in place.
Containers:
“The residential containers are recklessly stacked on top of each other.
They are colorful, but the paint peeling off, rain marks and other stains stand out.”
Lightning Rod & Weather
“A massive lightning rod was built in the center
The power obtained from lightning strikes is used to generate electricity
The lightning rod keeps deteriorating, and is being repaired through patching”
Background: Clear blue skies, fantastic weather!
Laundry indicator: (5) =＞ dry quickly!!
Lower area:
“Countless floating devices are attached to the lower section(s)”
Surface:
“The surface is dangerous!!
＜It is dominated by massive mechanical beasts＞”
BC gate:
Right: “BC-exclusive gate”
“1) Quick battles with swift victories”
“2) Obtain spoils of war! Instant retreat!”
TL note: The (1) point uses 速戦即決 (quick battle, swift conclusion), which is one possible term for “blitzkrieg”. 電撃戦 (dengekisen) seems to be more common.
