Naturally, there would be conversations, using the LIPS system we all know and love.

Archiving the Sakura Revolution Twitter media has been so bittersweet - on the one hand, you get to see just how much stuff got tweeted out. On the other, you realize that these dorks are going to be disappearing forever. D: #SaveTheDorks

Should add this is a fantastic cosplay reference, as just a *ton* of iconic outfits and costumes have colour references and colour images. \o/

I scanned everything in at 1200 DPI, so it's a perfect high-rest representation of every page.

Next up it's the duo of Sumire Kanzaki and Kanna Kirishima. \o/ Sorry, Sumire, the Imperial Combat Revue's TOPPPPP Star is sharing the spotlight this time. :0

Here we go... distributed in the press kit from the Sakura Wars World Project media junket in 2002, along with the original planned key art for the remake.

@ZackDavisson I love how they always pick the most grotesque, "this was even censored on broadcast at midnight in Japan" shows that sell a few thousand BDs to otaku, but completely gloss over shows that are straight-up cultural institutions like Chibi Mariko-chan or Sazae-san.

And while not always the case, these entries HAVE had mainline lore implications in the past. New Promise, for example, introduced the Shanghai Combat Revue's first incarnation.

Their successors would go on to become a major part of Sakura Wars 2019.
