Bloody Road/Fang Regalia

[sabret00the]

I don't generally care for the Brain Charger development of Agito/Akito, but have had a long standing interest in the line "you only know the fangs"

So my question is, what else is it that the road can be used for? What was it specifically designed for? For right now, we know that these users are using an interpretation of it and that they're obviously only derivatives of what they saw Falco do, but Rind's/Lind's line about only knowing one technique means that Agito is yet to have his true awakening.

[Kazu-Sama]

I agree. Look at Agito and Akito in the fight vs the Bulls or Behemoth, he was fighting without the regalia, just using his immense speed and skill, along with chains to 'carve' his road. Since getting the regalia, he's used that and nothing else...

[king_crimson-]

you know...it was agito saying to lind that he(lind) knows only the fang....meaning agito would know other tricks....

falco in the inorganic net battle only used fangs...lots of it...

and the reason why agito relies so much on the fangs was already explained in the manga(during the white wolf clan's battle)

Are you sure, the style of 'bubble' is the same that Rind uses all along.

[king_crimson-]

if you pay attention, the bubbles are different for the two in that panel: lind's bubbles are in the form for internal thoughts bubbles, while agito's ones are in the normal form for talking...

[sabret00the]

Rind only knowing the fangs would run contrary to his design. the fang is already an energy discharge of which the Gravity Children and Brain Chargers are designed to minimise.

[Kazu-Sama]

However, the 'Fang' is the ultimate Bloody Road move; it's the sole point of the regalia. Lind only knowing Fangs would show that he is the ultimate 'Bloody Road' rider. Gabashi is a rider using something similar to fangs, but he's a gravity child (gravity adult? they're not children any more :S)

In context though, it's better to read it as: You're an asswipe who only knows that one way (technique) of shooting a Fang. That statement was made in response to that "can't use the fang underwater" argument by Lind, and followed up by the example of Ikki as proof.

[Kazu-Sama]

Foolworm, you need to remember that Agito and Akito are going up against the VERY BEST of the AT world... THor is strong enough to win the GST, he has a battle rating of well over 100. Orca was designed to be, and is, more than capable of taking on kings. These guys aren't your average fighters. Buccha in considered strong, and almost king-level. Put HIM against the Bloody Blade Fang and see what happens. Put ANY rider who's not entered into the GST in the way, and see whether they survive...

[Kazu-Sama]

Kururu vs Agito?
She wouldn't even get close.. If she could, she'd stand a chance, but she wouldn't.

Also, Agito would beat Kazu, no problem. He'd beat Gabashi, as his moves are just a weaker fang, and could probably beat the sonia road. Yes, Yoshi, Nike and Sora would beat him. Om wouldn't: if he can beat Orca underwater, he can beat Om...I'm not sure about Nue or Ikki. Ikki couldn't beat Akira's Fangs using his own prowess, but that was before he learned some Sky Moves...

[king_crimson-]

uh? agito would defeat who?

personally i kind of agree with foolworm about agito...though not entirely

that bloody blade fang didn't do anything to orca because it didn't hit him head on, hell, it split apart a like, there's no way orca could have survived being hit head on...unless OG just decided that orca's body is just that hax...then again, orca was defeated by that fang.

thor is a wind king, and with a battle level of more than 170...i mean, how many riders are out there that are as strong or stronger than thor? hell, he's probably stronger than most of the SF members(both past and current)

and he is a wind king, so it's entirely possible that he could nullify a fang(since a fang is a shockwave, which means, compressed moving air)

and gawain's ambush doesn't really matter, it was in that skylink thing, and the way it went, it looked like gawain just entered the skylink there....

that said, i do miss the good old times with agito using hooks...

Is he still using the straps even while he has the Fang Regalia? I was planning to cosplay the latest version of him. I was wondering whether I should do the Regalia or the straps or even both.

[suarhnir]

oyos

yeah, he's using his hooks/straps there. its not like they are part of the pants or anything, he just puts them on whenever he feels that he will use it for a battle.
