When Kyouko tried to leave home for Gotou, Rei says he will leave instead. He says their father will worry for her despite what she thinks.

Rei watches the match between Shimada and Gotou in the shogi hall. Gotou wins and progresses onto the next match. When leaving, Rei runs into Kyouko. Gotou passes calling them both stalkers. Gotou is quick to degrade Kyouko, but shows no qualms when she clings to his side. Rei wishes he could protect her.

Rei learns that he can't miss anymore days of school and that he must get above-average grades to pass. He wants to watch today's match between Shimada and Gotou, but he cannot leave school. Shimada wins this match. Shimada asks Harunobu why he is so interested in Rei, to which Harunobu explains that Rei showed him that there are people better at shogi than him, that have worked harder than he has. At that point, it showed Harunobu that he is not alone.

Meanwhile Rei discovers he was two days short on his absences.

Episode 44

"The Other House" is episode 44 and currently the final episode of the anime adaptation of Sangatsu No Lion.

## Synopsis

For the first time in a long while, Rei visits the Kouda family who helped raise him. Later, he invites Hinata and Takahashi out to eat monjayaki.

## Plot

### The Other House

Narrated from Mrs. Kouda's point of view, Rei calls and visits the Kouda household while she is home alone. While they sit and have tea, Mrs. Kouda recounts the memories of Rei growing up in their house. Although relationships were strained due to Masachika's fondness for Rei's talent, she realizes the rest of the family's resentment came from their own failures to recognize their personal weaknesses, and took advantage of Rei by focusing their frustrations on his situation. After Rei leaves, Mrs. Kouda mentions she has a dream where Rei is her actual son, and that she was happy.

### Chapter 89: Children of March Town

Rei treats Hinata and Takahashi to eat monjayaki to celebrate the two of them being accepted into the high school of their choice. In turn, Takahashi also toasts Rei for being promoted to rank B-2 recently. Hinata cherishes what little time they have left together, but takes comfort that Takahashi will always be from the same March Town as her. Takahashi is unable to visit Hinata at Mikazuki-dou for the cherry blossom festival before he leaves the next day, and Hinata is filled with nostalgia about Takahashi. Akari asks if Hinata wants to see Takahashi off before the leaves completely, but Hinata refuses, seemingly satisfied with their goodbyes the night before.

Later, Misaki and Akari excitedly pore over Hinata's sudden decision to get a haircut, saying it is a poetic act of maturity and blossoming in her youth after an end of a chapter of her life. However, Akari returns home to find Hinata in total dismay over her new haircut; she arrived at a salon with only an older stylist available, and ends up with a bob cut that she deems very old-fashioned. Akari makes the situation worse as she constantly puts her foot in her mouth while attempting to soothe Hinata, while Momo tactlessly compares Hinata to a Kokeshi doll.

When Rei arrives to walk with Hinata to the first day of attending the same school together, the sisters are taken aback at Rei's excited approval of her new haircut. As they walk to school, Rei cannot stop admiring Hinata's new haircut, and causes her to be embarrassed.
La douleur de Griffe de Nuit/Prologue

La brume était si épaisse qu'on ne voyait pas le bout de ses pattes. Le vent soufflait doucement, comme si les arbres murmuraient dans un sommeil profond. Un grand rocher en forme de griffe était planté dans le sol, et un grand chat tigré bondit dessus. Ses yeux verts luisaient d'un éclat féroce, et une chatte gris sombre se posta à ses côtés. Devant eux s'étendait une foule de chats, scrutant de leurs yeux sombres l'endroit ou le chat brun tigré était assis. Des chuchotements montaient ici et là, impatients ou méfiants. La plupart se taisaient, impatients de connaître les paroles de leur chef.

-Chats du Bois Ténébreux ! tonna-il. Vous connaissez tous le plan. Il devrait nous faire gagner ! Nous allons avoir notre vengeance sur tout ceux qui nous ont trahis !

La foule hurla son approbation. Mais une voix dans le fond leur parvint tout de même.

- Étoile de Lierre ! Pourquoi cela marcherait ? Et si le plan échouait ? Que l'élu ne voulait pas ?

- Cela n'arriva pas ! cracha Étoile de Lierre. Je vous rappelle que l'élu est de ma famille !

- Et alors ? sonna quelqu'un dans le fond. Pense à ta fille ! Plume Tigrée n'est-elle pas contre nous ?

- Plume Tigrée n'es pas pareil ! cria le chat brun tigré. Elle doit tenir de sa mère. Mais jamais l'élu ne nous trahira !

- Mais si elle le faisait ? laissa échapper une chatte écaille-de-tortue.

Étoile de Lierre sauta du rocher en forme de griffe et s'approcha de la chatte, en levant la griffe.

- Alors aurait-tu une meilleure solution, Cœur de Rose ? dit-il d'une voix tranchante.

- Heu...non.

- Très bien. Tâche Blanche, viens ici ! rugit-il.

Un grand chat gris tigré avec une tache blanche en triangle sur l'œil arriva en marchant dignement.

- Je te donne la plus grande responsabilité. Fait en sorte que ça marche.

Tâche Blanche hocha la tête.

- L'assemblée est terminée ! cracha Feuille d'Ombre en sautant du rocher.

Les chats se dissipèrent un par un. Quand il ne resta plus qu'Étoile de Lierre et elle, Feuille d'Ombre s'approcha et glissa dans l'oreille d'Étoile de Lierre :

- Et nous ferons en sorte que le plan s'accomplisse comme prévu.

(Personnages : Étoile de Lierre-Feuille d'Ombre-Cœur de Rose-Tache Blanche)

Episode 2

## Synopsis

Rei is approached by Nikaidou, holding a letter meant for Rei. Rei tries to excuse himself as Nikaido goes on a tangent of how they are Shogi rivals. Nikaido goes as far as to not let Rei get through the elevator to explain that they are friends, much to Rei's surprise. Rei is unable to say no to Nikaido and ends up letting him into his apartment and Nikaido explains he wants to mentally prepare himself for the next match.

Today is the qualifier for the NHK tournament, there is a chance that if he wins, that he will make it onto the television. At a shrine, Issa Matsumoto prays profusely to win against Kiriyama Rei and to be on TV. His playing style is strictly offense.

During the match where Issa is against Rei, Issa is rather disruptive and told by Smith to quiet down. Issa and Rei are both seemingly neck and neck, while Issa is very expressive, Rei remains mostly silent and nonchalant. Issa loses and Smith informs Rei of how Issa learned to play shogi from his grandfather that is in the hospital. Issa aimed to be on TV so his grandfather could see him playing shogi.

Smith volunteers Rei to treat them for drinks under the logic that a minor shouldn't make off with all that money and the shogi hall will be gloomy if Issa is gloomy. Issa has a crush on one of the women at the bar, Akari, a woman Rei is family friends with. Akari says Rei is lucky to be in good company with upperclassmen that don't force him to drink and mentions there are bad ones that will force you to drink until you black out and abandon you in front of the bar.

In the past, Akari brought Rei home when he was blackout drunk and sheltered him for a night and fed him in the morning. That is how Akari and Rei became family friends and Rei got to meet her sisters.

Issa takes pride in the compliment, as Akari adds it's wrong to sponge off of underclassmen, Issa says he would never do that and offers to treat everyone instead of Rei. Rei finds Akari to be a very different person at home, but finds both sides of her to be beautiful.

Rei finds himself completely out of all supplies and is forced to go shopping. He has to cross a bridge to a separate block of town. When he first moved to this town, he considers it to of felt like a dream, being unable to hear well and the world was devoid of color. When he met Akari and her family, he felt color returned to the other side of the bridge.

Rei runs into Akari and her sisters at the grocery store, they invite him over for dinner that night. Akari's grandfather asks Rei where his parents are buried, revealing it's very far away. Rei finds in their house, there is no reminiscing because wounds are still too fresh. He describes his memory as a haze, where he hasn't cried or truly felt part of his own life in a long time.
Tvorba postavy

> *"Než začnete hrát, musí si každý hráč vytvořit svou postavu – vybrat si, jaké bude rasy a pohlaví, určit její povolání, stanovit její vlastnosti a povahu, dát jí jméno a minulost. Pokud si chceš hru opravdu užít, neměl bys brát tvorbu postavy jen jako přípravu na hru. Hra začíná už teď, teď učiníš mnohá rozhodnutí, která pak ovlivní celý zbytek hry, celý (doufejme, že dlouhý) život tvé postavy. Tato kapitola ti řekne, jak při tvorbě postavy postupovat. Nejlépe bude nejprve si ji celou přečíst. Pak můžeš začít číst znovu a rovnou se řídit postupem zde popsaným. Prvním, a z hlediska postavy nejdůležitějším, krokem je její výběr, tedy určení rasy, pohlaví, případně povolání. Vlastnosti, a dokonce i povaha postavy, se mohou během hry měnit, její rasa, pohlaví a povolání však nikoliv. Dobře si přečti popisy jednotlivých ras a povolání, abys zvolil tu kombinaci, která ti bude co nejvíce vyhovovat a s kterou se ti bude dobře hrát."*

### Úvod

Tvorba postavy se musela pro naše potřeby upravit asi nejvíce. Když pominu to, že jsme si jako každá skupina upravili ceník a tím pádem i množství peněz do startu, tak se tu událo ještě pár změn. Také zmizela infravize. Mezi novinky patří i rasové dovednosti, které si postava musí naházet při svojem vytváření.

He runs a study group consisting of himself, Kiriyama, Nikaidou, and Shigeta.

He continued attending the association with the help of his hard-earned wages and encouragments from his old man and from the members of the local Shogi club he used to attend to, he would take bumpy bus ride at the middle of the night along with his grumbling stomach.

    Shimada fell into deep frustration for him being stuck at the 3rd-dan for years, labelling himself as a "genius" back home was just another brat at Tokyo.

Rei can't shake off what Kyouko said to him. His entire morning dwells over how his opponent could be feeling right now. Rei discovers his opponent praying at the shrine and learns that his opponent just wants to go home, but wants to win still. The curt desire nearly relieves all pensive tension Rei had built up and he heads to the shogi hall to prepare for their match.

Matsunaga, his opponent, takes a humiliating defeat. Rei decides to use the stairs to leave to avoid being with Matsunaga in the elevator. There, he finds Mr.Matsunaga already trying to leave by the stairs and trips. Matsunaga makes Rei treat him to an expensive meal.

Over dinner, Matsunaga does most of the talking, bringing up the Koudas due to how similar Rei is to his foster father and how growing up with Kyouko must have been tough. Matsunaga goes on a tangent of the history of his hometown. Matsunaga is a chatty drunk and Rei is unable to leave him alone. Abruptly while walking near the river, Matsunaga confesses to feeling there was no way to win. He was scared of Rei, viewing Rei as a grim reaper to end his shogi career. When he saw Rei in the shogi hall, Matsunaga determined if anyone were to be his grim reaper, it ought to be Rei, but mid-match found that he doesn't want to lose.

Rei asks Matsunaga if he likes shogi, to which Matsunaga replies that he doesn't know and begins to weep as he is unable to convey how he feels.

Sakutarou Yanagihara

> "*'Life is nothing but goodbyes'*. Who said that again? It's a good, accurate expression. I know I'm going to lose them one by one. From shogi and from life. But I remember. There were a lot of people I liked, and people I disliked. There's no mistake. Who I am now is made up of all those fragments. These sashes are 'hope'. I'm bearing hundreds, even thousands of them now, and sometimes they're so heavy that I can't even move. But because of that weight... because it's bound so tightly... it won't let me run away from my fear of becoming a human torch." - Yanagihara-sensei

Square Bullets

Square Bullets are a new projectile type intoduced in Nuclear Throne Ultra. Square Bullets can phase through walls, as well as ignore melee, blood and shielding. After looping, Square Bullets and projectiles become more frequent, being able to be spawned from more common enemies, bosses, and IDPD vans.

Crystal, Plant, and Good Ol' Humphry are the only characters which have some method of dealing with Square Bullets. Crystal's Ultra D prevents damage from all sources while shielding, including Square Bullets. Plant's Ultra D deletes all projectiles that come into contact with it including Square Bullets (although this may be a bug). Good Ol' Humphry can slow and shrink Square Bullets, and with one of his Ultras, can delete them.

Frog

## B-Skin

Unlocked by using two different toxic weapons in one run as Frog

## C-Skin

Unlocked by looping in the gamemode "Disc Room" as Frog, with at least 6 discs that deal at least 2 damage

*Frog is based on the Ballguy enemies and shares some of their attributes. Frog can be difficult to control but due to her toxic immunity and gas spreading ability, she can control her surroundings quite well.*

## Features

Unlike every other character in the game, Frog has to move constantly. Tapping any movement key will cause Frog to turn in that direction and walk straight. The only way to stop her movement is to use Frog's special ability.

While moving perfectly in one cardinal direction, Frog cannot turn around to move in the other direction, and must either move slightly off to turn.

Frog is also immune to toxins and will take no damage from toxic clouds.

## Special

Frog will stop moving for as long as you hold the button, then release a bunch of toxic clouds based on how long you've held it for. A single toxic cloud deals 3 damage on contact with an enemy and after that disperses. Toxic clouds don't deal damage to destructible objects.

## Throne Butt

Frog's Throne Butt causes all toxic gas to spread further and faster. Toxic gas now also homes in on enemies.

## Ultra Mutations

 Intimacy |  | Continuously emit gas.
 Momma |  | Active creates friendly Ballguys.
 Potency |  | Gain normal controls.
More gas damage.

## Tips

### Useful Mutations

* Throne Butt - Makes the toxic clouds spread faster. Homing gas is also very useful, especially with weapons like the Toxic Ion Cannon.
* Gamma Guts - Helps pad against the downside of constantly moving.
* Power Craving - Gives more chances to get toxic weapons without having to rely on inverted levels or Crown Vaults.

### Useful Weapon Mods

* The Toxic weapon mod is very useful for Frog as she has toxic immunity.
* The Swarm <=> Toxic ultra weapon mod is also very useful as it also affects Frog's active ability, causing her to release swarm bolts instead.

### B-Skin

Maximizing the amount of weapons dropped (using something like Crown of Choice or Crown of Guns) can make unlocking this much easier. If you have a Golden Toxic Weapon, starting with that will require you just to find one other Toxic Weapon.

### C-Skin

As you cannot reflect the discs in this gamemode, it's important to try and increase survivability. Mutations like Alkaline Saliva, Rhino Skin, and Tough Shell will reduce the danger of the discs.

## Trivia

* Frog is a golden version of the Ballguy enemy and, like them, she can't stop moving.
* Frog likes to sing.
* Frog is voiced by Jukio Kallio who did the soundtrack for Nuclear Throne. You can hear the same kind of voice sing in the Sewers' theme.
* Frog's unused race\_back is "Toxic gas deals more damage", but this is already one of her Ultras.

Weapon Modifications

*Weapon Modifications (Weapon Mods) are upgrades which can be applied to any weapon. All Weapon Mods have different effects, which can be triggered upon hitting an enemy. After triggering a weapon mod, there is a delay before they can be triggered again. A weapon can have up to three (four with Power Craving) Weapon Mods applied to it.*

## Finding Weapon Mods

Weapon Mods spawn in Crown Vaults after the first visit (excluding Crown start), in the last level in an inverted area, and can sometimes spawn in bonus areas. They can also be spawned using Business Hog's active.

## Activating

Weapon Mods can be triggered once every 0.8s (26 frames). Power Craving and Weaponsmith's Ultra A, Weapon Modder both reduce this cooldown by 10 frames each, bringing the cooldown to 0.53s (16 frames) with one Mutation and at its lowest, 0.2s (6 frames) with both.

## Weapon Mods

*All descriptions are written as if the Weapon Mod can be triggered.*
Cheats

*Cheats is a special Game Mode unlocked in Nuclear Throne Ultra by attaining 100% completion (this includes all characters, skins, and gamemodes). The cheats Game Mode allows you to alter certain aspects of the run/character, such as weapons, mods, levels, enemies, etc. Cheats mode can also be used to test certain characters, weapons, mods, mutations, and Ultras.*

## List of Codes

*Codes in the Cheats Game Mode are activated by pushing a key which is not used for any other action (i.e. movement/weapon swap keys, etc.).*
Elementor

## B-Skin

Unlocked by burning a frozen enemy as Elementor

## C-Skin

Unlocked by completing a main area after the sewers without firing as Elementor

*Elementor can harness the power of elemental weapons to deal lots of damage to enemies. He can also do this from the safety of cover that he creates for himself.*

## Features

All Lightning, Frost, Flame and Kraken damage is increased. Frost now also deals damage over time to frozen enemies.

Elementor is a flying character, and as such is unaffected by floor hazards.

Elementor starts with a Mini Lightning Pistol.

## Special

Elementor can create walls to obstruct enemies by right-clicking empty space. These walls are destroyed by shooting or walking into them, and block most enemy attacks (except lasers and explosions). They create debris when destroyed; this debris can damage enemies.

## Throne Butt

Elementor's walls will be able to deflect enemy projectiles.

Levels will be generated to include more natural cover.

## Ultra Mutations

 Ice Cold |  | Stronger and homing debris.
Debris freezes enemies.
 Burning Hot |  | More flame damage.
Fire homes.
 Thunder Bomb |  | Occasionally produce lightning.
When using lightning weapons, gain explosive ammo.
When using kraken weapons, gain energy ammo.

## Unlock Method

Unlocked by taking the Heavy Heart mutation.

## Tips

### Useful Mutations

* Throne Butt - Having walls that deflect projectiles is very handy, even if they still break easily.
* Hammerhead - Being able to destroy walls and then create new ones allows for some outside the box tactics, and lets Elementor attack from hard-to-reach places.
* Energy Brain - Further increases the power (and range) of lightning weapons.
* Shotgun Shoulders - As most flame weapons use shells, Shotgun Shoulders allows for them to travel much further distances. Combine with Burning Hot for even more fiery fun.
* Power Craving - Elementor's passive also affects damage done by weapon modifications, so having mods on all weapons increases potential bonus damage.

### Unlocking Character

To take Heavy Heart, you need to take three weapon mutations, and Heavy Heart will appear in your next level up as an option. The weapon mutations are: Long Arms, Energy Brain, Recycle Gland, Shotgun Shoulders, and Bolt Marrow.

### Unlocking B-Skin

You can either try to find both an ice weapon and a fire weapon, or apply the ice and/or fire weapon mods to any other weapon.

## Trivia

* Elementor was added in Update #21.
* Prior to Update #21, Elementor's active ability belonged to Viking.
* Prior to Update #23, Elementor started with a Frost Pistol. This was changed due to the lack of early game Lightning weapons.
* Elementor's B Skin is a reference to Zenyatta from Overwatch*,* while his C Skin is a reference to Doctor Strange.
* Elementor's unused race\_back is "Increased chance of finding elemental weapons, levels generate more cover".

Episode 5

## Synopsis

Rei's father and his father's friend were once members of the federation. Shogi was one of the only ways Rei got to spend time with his father. As a child, Rei didn't have anyone outside his family to talk to other than his father's friend.

While Rei studies, Akari calls asking if Rei can pick up Momo from kindergarten. A dog chases Momo and causes her to trip on the way home. Rei carries her the rest of the way. When he tends to Momo's scratches, he remembers holding a small, bruised hand in a hospital bed and a little girl calling him big brother. He weeps a little, distracting Momo from her own pain to ask Rei what's wrong.

Hinata notes that Rei must feel really bad about Momo falling because he didn't eat much of dinner. Momo says to her sisters that she saw Rei cry. Akari explains to Hinata and Momo that Rei used to have a little sister, which is probably why he cried.

When Rei was on a school trip as a child, his parents and little sister lost their lives in a car accident. Rei's own aunt put him in an orphanage. Rei discovered at an early age that he will no longer have a place of solitude and will never feel relief or comfort to mourn again. Out of all the blood relatives that came to the funeral, Rei's Father's friend spoke to Rei, asking him if he likes shogi.

Rei considers this moment that he and the god of shogi were bound together by an "ugly lie". He lied, saying yes, marking it the first time he lied to survive. He became the child of a shogi familiy. At the house of the shogi family, he was physically abused by the biological children that also wanted to be professional shogi players. His main abuser was Kyouko, a girl four years older than him and would demean him any way possible. She loathed how her father showed compassion to Rei and would complain when Rei called her father Dad as well.

Rei describes the family as the only way to earn love from the father was to become stronger in shogi. The youngest brother, Ayumu, gave up shogi when Rei surpassed him. Their father told Rei not to try to convince him to keep playing if Ayumu can't find his own initiative. Their father forced Kyouko to quit since she couldn't beat Rei. Rei found himself to be destroying the family he became part of and strove to move out. He still thanks his adoptive father for setting him on this path.
Good Ol' Humphry

## B-Skin

Unlocked by completing a main level after the Sewers without missing a single shot as Good Ol' Humphry

## C-Skin

Unlocked by getting 100 skill points

*Don't let this old man's looks fool you; Humphry is very skilled, and rewards accuracy with a stacking damage boost.*

## Features

Humphry has "Skill", which is indicated by an icon below his ammo counters. Skill increases per hit from a weapon, and Humphry gains damage and accuracy with each point of skill. Skill drains quickly upon missing. Each stack of Skill increases damage dealt to enemies by 1%/stack.

Throne Butt makes it so that, instead of losing skill all at once, Humphry's skill meter diminishes roughly 30% slower. Humphrey will gain 1 HP per 10 skill lost. If before draining, the stack was divisible by 10, it will heal 1 less (e.g. a stack of 30 would heal 2 HP, not 3 HP).

## Special

Humphry's Warzone Control shrinks and slows enemy projectiles, at the cost of ammo. A small amount of ammo is taken from all except the kind that is currently equipped.

## Throne Butt

Humphry's skill drains slower on miss, and is healed for every 10 skill drained.

## Ultra Mutations

 Discipline |  | Active can shrink projectiles into nothingness.

## Unlock Method

Unlocked by defeating Big Fish with any character.

## Tips

### Useful Mutations

* Rage - Synergizes with Humphry's passive, giving him even more strength over time. Additionally, his passive balances out Rage's accuracy loss.
* Euphoria - Works well with Humphry's active, which slows enemy bullets even more.
* Throne Butt - Having Throne Butt removes a lot of the penalty for missing with Humphry, and having passive healing is never a bad thing.
* Bolt Marrow - Reduces the chance of missing a shot with bolt weapons, which greatly improves the amount of skill points you can have.

## Trivia

* Humphry's active was changed from "Sprint" to "Warzone control" in update #24.
	+ Because of this, the loading tip "Humphry can run" was changed to "Humphry can't run".
* Humphry's unused race\_back is "Decrease cost of active".
