The bane of main characters everywhere, and more than often the OTHER side as well.

Two characters who are renowned above all others in the art of being the supreme badasses of trolling-and Hazama doesn't count, as he's just an IMMENSE DICK.

Shu Shirakawa, the man said to have a phD in the art of badass, who has spent his career utterly terrifying the living bejeezus out of every Super Robot Wars player who has EVER heard the Dark Prison theme begin to play, thereby turning a supposedly simple stage into a nightmare of tactics and 'OHSHITOHSHITOHSHITWHYISHEHERE'.

Yukari Yakumo, the otherworldly Honorable Sage who moves through the background of Gensokyo, the undisputed mastermind behind the day to day running of the Eastern Wonderland, youkai of the boundaries, and the one who appears solely to crush any and all those who threaten the land she watches over.

Both known for appearing at thoroughly unexpected moments, and both known for their arrivals signalling IMMENSE AMOUNTS OF PAIN AND SUFFERING for one or both sides of any conflict.

Their motives known only to them, and the true degree of their machinations only ever truly discovered on the moment they finally enact their endgames...

...it was only a matter of time before the man at the heart of Shin Neo Granzon and the lady who rules the boundaries of existence finally met.

And when they did, the single most terrifying alliance in the multiverse may have been formed.

Because as it turns out, those of a similar mindset DO attract. Or at least get along quite well.

As a result, the midnight blue colossus of gravity has been spotted in the realms of Gensokyo from time to time, Dr. Shirakawa on his way to...whatever the hell it is he does in his meetings with the border youkai.

Likewise have reports come in to La Gias of a strange, gold-haired woman being spotted in the company of the elusive doctor, with powers said to rival even that of the fearsome Shin Neo Granzon he pilots.

As to the question of just HOW close these two are connected, no-one's yet been suicidal or insane enough to ask.

On the other hand, even if you did ask them, what are the chances of EITHER of them giving you a straight answer?

Or at least, one that doesn't end with the words "Abandoned Line: Aimless Journey to the Abandoned Station~!" or "Black Hole Cluster...HASHA!"

...yeah, didn't think so. T^T

Danmaku Modes:

Granzon A (normal): With Yukari's power over borders, the Granzon's attacks can now outright ignore special defenses, hitting every target for true damage regardless of magical or technological protection. In addition to that, Yukari herself takes a direct role by using her gaps to redirect some attacks into more vulnerable points on the target. A tremendous field surrounds the Granzon as well, automatically slowing down anything caught in it and allowing it to easily circumnavigate even the most intense crossfires without so much as a scratch.

Granzon B (Focused): Transforming into the monstrous Shin Neo Granzon, Shu's mastery of his machine's terrifying power is all too obvious here. Myriad calculations have allowed him to mesh the powerful gravitational control of the Granzon with Yukari's gaps to automatically return over 50% of enemy attacks directly to their source, and all dealing the same flat damage as the Shin Neo Granzon's normal attacks. In addition to this, the immense distortion surrounding the Granzon no longer slows enemy attacks, but instead, merely blunts them, reducing all damage taken by 75%.

*Note: These percentages may well be increased even further, however, their sense of whimsy has led to them leaving it at that level, as it's not quite as much fun if the other team doesn't have at least SOME chance...*

**SPECIAL**
Spellcards: Like many of the other teams, this terrifying alliance also has access to such techniques, combining both youkai and mecha moves into devastating expressions of power. UNLIKE other teams, however...Shu and Yukari have added a special flair of their own. With every Spell Break successfully achieved against it...the Shin Neo Granzon has a 50% recurring chance of instantly reusing the same spellcard at no additional cost.

Another picture from my Armored Gensokyo fic, this one for the ever enigmatic Yakumo Yukari, and the always ominous Shu Shirakawa!

...because seriously, these two fit together so well, WHY HAS NO-ONE ELSE DONE THIS IN WRITING BEFORE

And yes. Granzon A and B are simply Normal and Focused modes. Yes, Shu is broken like that. AND YUKARI PROBABLY DIDN'T HELP MUCH ON THAT ACCOUNT EITHER.

Check it out for more antics involving the greatest Armored Core of them all, and his encounter with THE STRONGEST fairy of Gensokyo!

See you there!
