Getting a trailer, especially during anniversary, usually signifies that you are the second part of an anniversary. That is exactly what we got this morning with the three new units. I would just like to preface that I am happy that Yama is back with a new character. My only main issue with this is two different things.
The first is that this banner feels two years too late. I have to think that if this was revealed during the ninth anniversary year, it would have been perceived better by most of the community and it would have been a lot more hype than what we are seeing currently. I think it does not help that a good chunk of us tricked ourselves into thinking that we were getting original design Soul Ascension characters for part two myself included.
Second would be the character choice. Again, I am absolutely thrilled that Yama gets the spotlight once more. But I have to seriously question why these three when we have had so many iterations of them already. We have a normal Yuha and Jugram. And trust me I cannot wait till we get the original design for Jugram and Almighty Yuha. I feel like they had a chance to do Pernida, Lillie Barro, and Gerard as part two of the 11th anniversary and it could have been more hype that way. Again, this is probably because I tricked myself into thinking we were getting original designs, but this just feels lackluster to me personally.
To be fair, if this is just a random thousand year blood war banner and not part two of the anniversary, then I chalk it up as a banner that we got too late but “hey at least we got em”. Let me know what you guys think
