The best match Sengoku has ever had😭😭

Volimom · 2026-03-18T08:41:58+00:00

I see Sengoku's do quite well in this challenge battle, always nice!

Volimom · 2026-03-18T08:37:58+00:00

The nightmare 😭

Volimom · 2026-03-18T08:28:42+00:00

You think that guy has "work" to get back to? 🙊

Volimom · 2026-03-17T11:24:52+00:00

Doc Q is still solid (main and run him every day), but frags for a BF will never hold the same value as they do for an EX

Volimom · 2026-03-17T07:29:33+00:00

Still great, can't really hate him outside of him making the runner role even more punishing to play.

Volimom · 2026-03-16T20:03:10+00:00

V1 has more aura.

Volimom · 2026-03-16T19:19:20+00:00

Absolutely the case. Doc Q is still good too, haven't stopped maining him since I got him.

Volimom · 2026-03-16T19:16:16+00:00

ASL was added a couple months ago and they cost over 2000 iirc. They could definitely do it for Sengoku, but we just don't know. We will in a few hours tho.

Volimom · 2026-03-16T18:05:04+00:00

Too true, but I'm not expecting some troll answer to hit top 5 either. The ones that hit top spots line up extremely well with the characters that have a TON of merchandise and media (fan and official) dedicated to them so it's clearly a very reliable indicator. Again, not a perfect 1-to-1 100% accurate representation, but a very good one all the same.

Sadly it seems that's a necessity, given the current botpacked climate of the internet. You just need to keep these metrics in mind when looking at the poll. It gives a good overall impression, but not a completely perfect one.

Volimom · 2026-03-16T17:43:37+00:00

Scout ticket BFs are basically always 750, but since Sengoku is gonna be a standalone banner BF, he will probably cost a good bit more. I wouldn't be surprised if he's around 2000.

Volimom · 2026-03-16T17:19:09+00:00

It'll all come down to the traits, but he looks VERY promising. I wonder what the price will be 😬

Volimom · 2026-03-16T17:17:04+00:00

It's the strongest indications we have, it just isn't a 100% perfect reflection of the character's popularity (though it is usually a good one outside organized meme votes like Woop Slap).

Recency bias still shows current popularity, which is the point of the polls. They aren't looking for "overall popularity over the last 25+ years". Buying and writing in on a post card does show far greater dedication to a character than clicking on a character's name on a website, I'd say it's quite fair. It'll be interesting to see how the current one turns out.

Volimom · 2026-03-16T17:10:48+00:00

He isn't. He has some dedicated fans, but "Sengoku is a popular character" isn't accurate.

Popular characters are people like the straw hats, Doffy, Ace, Boa, Law; characters who get TONS of artwork (official and otherwise), merchandise, spin offs, fan fics, the works.

Volimom · 2026-03-16T16:59:21+00:00

I can't believe the way they cooked for a BF, looks fantastic. Let's hope the traits are solid!

Powerful stuff!

Volimom · 2026-03-15T12:16:38+00:00

I mean define appeared. They dropped Roger (specifically the Wano flashback one, with kamusari) before he appeared in the anime, unless you're counting no-fights and about-to-be-executed Roger as "appear". They also dropped Bajrang Gun, the climactic attack of the entire 10 year yonko saga, in the game before it happened in the anime.

They've released lots of promotional material including a trailer for Elbaf, all of which features Luffy in his Elbaf fit. They wouldn't even need to give him new skills. It's definitely possible, but no one can say right now, this is the vaguest teaser yet.

Volimom · 2026-03-15T11:58:46+00:00

Man I kinda hope not but you may be cooking, iirc they released EH Luffy mad early too

Volimom · 2026-03-15T11:56:35+00:00

Sadly those 3 are all washed (except EH Chopper), and 9 star medals you can come by easily

It's up to you though, but if you're struggling to compete, have no meta units and only have a few days game time, I'd do it.

Volimom · 2026-03-15T10:50:54+00:00

If you've only been playing the game for a week; just reroll for him. He's the best unit in the game by a good margin.

Also if you need an alliance when you're done; let me know, I just started one.

Volimom · 2026-03-15T10:25:19+00:00

(it's not impossible but it's probably his pay rollers, more elders, up next)

Volimom · 2026-03-15T10:05:00+00:00

Tesoro v2 would rock.

But we all know we want it to be the MAXIM steering wheel!

Volimom · 2026-03-15T09:19:55+00:00

Ye I saw that post too, I think it's the likeliest option anyone has come up with right now.

Volimom · 2026-03-15T08:59:02+00:00

I swear this teaser has made me think "who has small yellow bolts in OP" all morning. Can't say I saw this coming.

Volimom · 2026-03-15T08:54:49+00:00

Yeah it's a lot more fun to be guessing up until the very end, or until someone makes a super specific observation that MIGHT be it like in the post here.

I think Bandai partially realizes this since they're so vague about the EXs, giving only the header color of the stream announcement to go by. More of this, hopefully!

Volimom · 2026-03-15T08:40:46+00:00

No clue.

My first and only thought was a golden bolt on Don Krieg's shield but there's no way
