Golden Mecha Shooting Day (III)

 Head to the set to hear Director Ohno break down the script.

---

Head to the set and chat with Director Ohno and Nitro-Fuel about the script.

Fallen Mecha Stronghold

(Talk to Director)

Director Ohno: "Nitro-Fuel's" fighting style is "Nitro," but is best known for an almost ruthless level of calm and composure. There's more to Nitro-Fuel than meets the eye. It's a character full of striking contrasts.

Nitro-Fuel: Ehn-nhe~ Nhu-nha~ (Oh~ so I actually have lines as a character? And here I thought I was picked just 'cause I have experience playing a Nitro-Fuel can.)

Director Ohno: That's why playing this role will be tough... Wait, hold on, you actually played canned Nitro-Fuel?! How does that even work?

Nitro-Fuel: Ehn-nhu ne~ (It's okay~ Most of the roles I've played didn't have any lines, but my line delivery's actually pretty amazing~)

Director Ohno: Really? You're way better than that picky lead who had zero talent!

This conversation doesn't make any sense at all!

Director Ohno: Hold up! Do you even know what role you're supposed to play?

Nitro-Fuel: Nhe... Ehn-nhu! (Not really... but I think I got it!)

Director Ohno: What's that supposed to mean?! Are you saying you do or don't get it?!

Don't look at me, I'm just as clueless...

Director Ohno: Alright, let's just say you do get it... So how exactly did you act as a can of Nitro-Fuel?

Nitro-Fuel: Ehn, nhu, nha!♪ (3, 2, 1, fire!♪)

Director Ohno: Sorry, I shouldn't have asked... Alright, that's enough — if we keep going like this we'll never get to filming! Go on, let's get ready!

Nitro-Fuel: Nhe-nu~ Ne-ne... (Got it~ ahem... Hold on, I'm searching my personality modules for "Nitro-Fuel"...)

Nitro-Fuel: Ehn-nhe nhu na... ("Can of Nitro-Fuel"... nope, not that one... "Thick Tumbleweed"... "Exploded Truck Tire"... ugh, it's no good — the Nitro-Fuel character module's malfunctioning!)

Director Ohno: Just how many trashy roles have you played?! Wait... doesn't that mean we can't film anymore?! This is bad...

I've got this, just leave it to me!

Director Ohno: Oh, so our cinematographer can fix Bangboo on the side too! I'll leave it to you then!

(Enter Ether Tuning)

(After completing Ether Tuning)

Nitro-Fuel: Ehn-ne... Na nhe. (What I value is simple: "calm" and "reasonable." ...Cameraman, you did well.)

You're switching characters way too fast!

Nitro-Fuel: Nhe-ne? Nhe, nhu-ne? (It's just a minor hiccup, no need to panic. Director, you haven't forgotten what we're really here for... have you?)

Director Ohno: It's totally immersed in the character now... Should be fine, right?

Director Ohno: So... "Icaro", and our cinematographer, are you ready to start shooting this scene?

Ready to roll!

Actors in position, let's get this shoot rolling!

Nitro-Fuel: Overload bestows the faith of justice, Rattlesnake grants the wisdom of combat...

Nitro-Fuel: They entrusted you with their most powerful attacks, but as things stand, you can't wield them to their fullest.

Nitro-Fuel: Do you understand why?

Icaro: Because I'm not strong enough? If I could reach the level of those two masters, I'd be able to unleash the true power of their techniques.

Nitro-Fuel: You move the joystick the same way, turn the camera just like they do... there's no difference in how you handle the controls. But Rattlesnake and Overload can stay calm and seize the perfect moment to unleash their ultimate moves, while you can't!

Nitro-Fuel: That's why my job is to make sure you can keep your cool at all times! I don't go easy, so brace yourself!

Icaro: What's Master Nitro-Fuel's ultimate move?

Nitro-Fuel: "Blazing Storm" — the ultimate technique with the fiercest head-on firepower.

Icaro: That doesn't sound like a technique a level-headed person would use at all!

Nitro-Fuel: I've been asked that countless times, and my response never changes: you'll only know once you try.

Nitro-Fuel: If you're ready, we'll head out to find mech materials specialized for Blazing Storm.

All set and ready — requesting permission to deploy!

Let's head out in a moment...

(Enter 047: Indoor - "Spitfire" Exploration)

The combat module "Blazing Storm" is crucial... To defeat the "Test Unit", venture forth once more!

 Find a way to repair the broken elevator.

Icaro: An neh... (The elevator's busted... Let's check nearby rooms for any active switches...)

Icaro: An na na... (Feels like I've been fixing stuff non-stop lately...)

 Keep pushing on.

Icaro: Ennah? Enneh! (Did the elevator just move? Wait, wait for me!)

Icaro: En nehne! (Good thing there's a compartment under the elevator... Now I can get to the top!)

 Find a way to get to the upper level.

(Approach the Platinum Bangboo)

Icaro: What are you doing here? What's your connection to the Platinum Gang? What are you plotting? Spill it!

Third White: Eek! I just kept an elevator screw as a souvenir. I don't know anything!

Icaro: So you're the reason I've got to fix these mechanisms again!

Third White: I swear I only took this one part! I didn't do anything else!

The Platinum Bangboo vanishes in a blur, moving faster than the eye could see...

Icaro: Gone in a flash... Whatever, let's keep moving.

 Keep exploring.

(Open the secret passage)

Icaro: En-ne! (So there IS a secret passage!)

 Find a way to open the gate.

(Enter the secret passage)

Icaro: Ahn-ne... en nah! (And they said they only stole one part... Look at this mess!)

(After completing 047: Indoor - "Spitfire" Exploration)

Nitro-Fuel: When someone mentions fire, what's the first thing that pops into your mind?

Icaro: Maybe it's passion, impulse, and power?

Nitro-Fuel: For some reason, people who play with fire always seem to have main character energy. They ignore danger for the strangest reasons and pull off those unforgettable, show-stopping moments...

Nitro-Fuel: But in reality, fire is synonymous with danger and madness, like a forbidden power...

Nitro-Fuel: Controlling such a wild and perilous forbidden force demands a heart of steel — one that remains calm under any circumstance. Without it, such power will turn on you and drive you mad!

Icaro: I've been meaning to say this for a while... Master, are you sure you're not a bit of a drama junkie?

Nitro-Fuel: How rude of you! But it's fine. My mind's already strong enough to shrug off any criticism.

Icaro: So you were so embarrassed by your own need for drama that you trained yourself to ignore the shame? I get it now...

Nitro-Fuel: Don't jump to conclusions... though, if seeing it that way helps you strengthen your resolve, I'm fine with it.

Nitro-Fuel: Blazing Storm hits hard and terrifies foes, so there's an almost addictive thrill to using it. That's why you need a calm, unshakable mind to handle it properly in battle.

Nitro-Fuel: Unleash your full power and tame the beast named "Blaze"! Prepare for action!

All I need is to get into action right now!

Post-Commission Dialogue

(Talk to Director)

Director: Great job on the shoot! Want to do some retakes, or should we talk about the script?

Let's retake shots

(Opens event interface)

Let's talk about the script

Director: Feel free to ask anything, I'll tell you everything I know.

About the Masters' defeat...

Director: They're all proud mech pilots with very different ideals—normally they wouldn't cooperate... In my design, each master's combat style has fatal flaws, which you've likely noticed by now.

Director: When they held the advantage, they all assumed that "a single Golden Mecha couldn't decide the outcome of the war."

It definitely had an impact on the outcome

Director: I'm not one to glorify individual heroism, but in war, there are always a few figures who stand out. From an outsider's perspective, saying that "two Golden Mechas decided the outcome of the war" isn't an exaggeration.

About Nitro-Fuel...

Director: When a mech goes berserk, it uncontrollably spews devastating high-temperature flames. If we could control that power, wouldn't it make us invincible? I thought so as a kid, and honestly, I still think it's awesome!

Director: Even as adults, we still daydream—just about different things. For example, whenever I have to go out, I wish I could open a map and teleport straight there. Too bad that's impossible in real life.

I'm really good at this!

Director: No way! By the time that tech comes out, I could make a spin-off movie for each of my four masters! Heh, there I go again, getting a little too ambitious.

(Return to previous options)

About the disbanded team...

Director: I used to have a full team once... but as time went on, disagreements arose, and the others chose not to keep working with me. It was a mistake I made in my younger days...

Director: Just kidding, I'm still young. I've always wanted to say that line!

Was disbanding the team a mistake?

Director: I don't see it as a mistake now... The perk of wearing many hats is being able to handle the whole process with a single brain — unless my brain starts arguing with itself, of course.
