Ibaraki-Douji (Lancer)

When summer comes around, that means summer festivals! And all that festival fun is made even better by delicious food stands!

Hmmm, that doesn't sound bad at all.

...And the next thing she knew, her class changed, and she was in a summer outfit. A lot of other stuff happened, which even changed her Noble Phantasm... Yeah, it...probably changed. Look, it doesn't make any sense, but just enjoy this new Spirit Origin for now!

Ibaraki-Douji is going to make sure she enjoys summer to the fullest!

Height/Weight: 147cm, 50kg

Origin: Otogizoushi, etc.

Region: Japan

Alignment: Chaotic-Evil

Sub-Attribute: Earth

Gender: Female

All she wants to do right now is eat a ton.

She's pretty much the Ibaraki-Douji we all know. She apparently doesn't feel all that different herself. At first glance, one might just think she's in a slightly better mood, but pointing that out is a good way to get bitten. Oddly enough, were Shuten-Douji to say, "Oh my, look at you. So excitable and fidgety. You are adorable, acting like a little kid. I didn't think you liked the beach so much."

...Ibaraki wouldn't bite.

Demonic Nature of Oni (Water): B

A skill manifesting an oni's abilities and demonic nature, though altered. Even the Mana Burst aspect has changed to something associated with water. This baffled Ibaraki.

"Wouldn't that make me a kappa? Is it because my Spirit Origin changed? Wait a minute, now I think about it, Shuten may have been twisting my limbs and even cracking my bones right before summer started. But I'm sure it's nothing bad since Shuten did it for me!"

...The thought made Ibaraki smile. Isn't that nice?

Madness Enhancement: D

Ranks up her STR and END parameters, but also eats away at her sanity. This skill carried over from her Berserker form after her change in Spirit Origin. Since it is combined with her oni nature, she's able to maintain her sanity, meaning it's possible to hold a normal conversation with her.

I'm Not Going Home Yet!: B++

A version of Disengage that underwent an unbelievable evolution.

"It's already late afternoon, but I don't wanna go back to the hotel yet! I wanna play at the beach more! I wanna keep playing even after dark! But I guess if everyone's going home, I don't have a choice, since playing alone is no fun..."

Ibaraki's disappointment is immeasurable and her day has manifested as ruined.

『Encomium Moriae』

Rank: B++

NP Type: Anti-Boundary/Anti-Army

Range: 1 - 40

Maximum Targets: 100

In Praise of Folly, Ichijou Modori-bashi.

The Japanese reading would be "Gujinraisan, Ichijou Modori-bashi." The original Noble Phantasm name is "Breaking Seclusion, Ichijou Modori-bashi." This is Lancer Ibaraki-Douji's all-out attack that completely ignores the target's DEF effects and penetrates Bounded Fields. Remembering the events at Rashomon...or rather, the events at Ichijou Modori-bashi...causes her blood to boil, sending her into a rage and shattering all magecraft defenses protecting her target. During her lifetime, this power enabled her to trick the hated Tsuna into breaking his vow of seclusion and retrieve her severed arm.

This game's Ibaraki-Douji was defeated by Watanabe-no-Tsuna at both Rashomon and Ichijou Modori-bashi. So she lost to Watanabe-no-Tsuna twice in a row.

When its True Name is revealed, Ibaraki thinks she is unleashing a Heian Rocket Punch, or her sougenbi punishing flame. But for some reason, five spears that look like giant fingers appear, forming a huge fist that unleashes a devastating uppercut. Her victim is sent sky high, and disintegrates in a dazzling display of flame, like fireworks in the summer sky...

Five giant fingers...

"Those five spears aren't MY fingers...are they!?"

Note: Jeanne d'Arc Alter was apparently commissioned to come up with the True Name "Encomium Moriae" and its reading.
