"Well now! Motivation, physical capital, I'm going to skip the comraderie and finances parts, so that brings us to point three of our presentation."

Takahara had fought swashbucklers before- thrown swords were no surprise after that one encounter with Akumaizer-3. They usually didn't follow up with a grenade though. He swung the Sengoku Driver around his waist, opening the Lockseed with a [b]FIFTEEN![/b]. It was time to trade up.

"We're also planning to kill the little bitch somewhere down the line, and I want all the help I can get."

He wasn't going to go for the transformation with the Riotrooper transformation active. There was no telling how that would interfere with the energy flow of either transformation, and no telling just how horribly it could go wrong. He positioned his hand to break the Riotrooper transformation and immediately start the transformation into Fifteen. And then the flashbang went off.

The Driver continued [url=https://youtu.be/xU1WUfXSggE]playing through[/url] as Takahara fumbled around, blinded and disoriented. He didn't notice the Ride Wear for the Sengoku Driver forming around the Riotrooper gear, and he certainly didn't notice when he tripped the Driver's knife. The Corporate Drones were just glad that their new boss didn't see their shameful display of weakness- reacting to a mere flashbang! Such foolishness could not be tolerated from former members of Blatantly Evil Marketing Firm B! Even as the Ride Wear formed, he continued shouting obsceneties in Japanese.

<"WHO THE FLYING FUCK USES FLASHBANGS IN A GOD DAMN BARFIGHT YOU UGLY FUCKING HORSEFUCKER!">

Takahara did his best to hold a fighting stance as his vision blurred and his ears rang. Eventually, the giant skull fell from the zipper, bouncing onto the shoulders of the black suit and clearing his vision a bit- though it did nothing for his hearing. In one hand, he still had the Axel Blade. In the other, though, was the Yomimaru. With that, he nodded in resolve, taking a proper fighting stance.

"Well then, Plizgin-San... Time for the Curtain Call!"
