Spectrum Theater

Armed Blue Gunvolt Gibs: The Glorious Golden Rule (Spectrum Theater) (蒼き雷霆ガンヴォルト鎖環 ) is a fan disc for Azure Striker Gunvolt 3.
It features a voice drama about how ZedΩ met the ATEMS Knights before the events of GV3. It also includes Luxia's four songs, and comes with a 16 page booklet that includes the newly written short story "Caput Draconis" that describes the encounter between ZedΩ and Layla, and an interview with Luxia song arranger Coremocha. Although the CD was not officially released outside of Japan, the voice drama has received fan translated English subtitles and been uploaded to Youtube, and the booklet has likewise been translated.

===Production Notes===
Ippo Yamada / Producer
It was decided to make a fan-disc to elaborate upon the ATEMS characters, since we added the “After Episode ATEMS Arc” to “Azure Striker Gunvolt 3”. 
I and Yoshimoto made the draft of the script, and (Atsushi) Oka (a usual collaborator in these projects) expanded on it.
The biography of the characters is made up at the same time as their settings needed when voice recording is held. However, that’s not clearly shown within the game itself, hence why in this project we simply aimed to depict how Zed met the Knights of ATEMS.
Using their settings text as basis, and feedbacking contents that we devised during voice recording, we recreate what we assume was what happened in their backstories.
We also added the 3 Luxia songs added in the update, their full size versions. We’d be glad if you immerse yourself in the world of her songs and love her.
We wanted to tell more of ATEMS, featured in this game, so we hope that if you play again after hearing to this, you might notice something different or feel emotive at some scenes.

===Creative Notes===
Nobuo Yoshimoto / Planning, Scenario Writer
I am pleased to make my acquaintance with all readers. I am Yoshimoto, who, for some reason, ended up becoming a Gunvolt 3 writer. I am not a familiar subject, but I hope to become acquainted with everyone.
As for this CD, it’s a mix of Luxia’s songs and drama tracks. I worked on supervising the drama tracks.
They’re set several years before the game… Narrating how Zed met his Knights, in the form of short stories. It’s about how they swore love or loyalty to him, did you like them?
As for their love for him, when I was beginning this job, no major differences had been laid out between each character’s love for him, and so I struggled.
To be honest, I did consider their motivations a bit too lighthearted sometimes. However, Zed has more than one talent, someone gifted with everything ever since he was born. A champion. His moods when dealing with women is what incited them to follow him wherever he goes.
But these Knights that revere him have strong quirks and are stubborn folk, which is what keeps consistency. I’m sure that only “Lord Zed” can handle them in the way that he does.
In the game’s “after episode”, you can see glimpses of their “lovey-dovey” (if it can be considered that) and their usual behavior, so I hope that you enjoy both that and their inner circle groove.
I wanted to tell more things, but I’ll leave it here for today. I hope that you also check out the stories of (the world of) Gunvolt that will come one day.

==Trivia==
*This is the only fan disc to not have unique cover art.
*Its product code, INTIR-060, is the first of the three numbers that were skipped over between the release of the GV3 Lumen album Akashic Record (INTIR-059, released in Dec 2022) and the Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon Soundtrack (INTI-063~66, released in Jun 2023). This is the first and currently only case of a "missing" INTIR product eventually being released.
*The booklet has a misprint with Layla and Luxia's character profile pictures swapped.
