Chaos;Child (General)

[NonoEnjoyer]

I just recently accessed our forum's SciAdv Artbook archives and was, of course, browsing the Chaos;Child artbook Here Without You, and stumbled across a cool page. Spoilers for C;C Chapter 11 below

Spoiler

Near Chapter 11's end, Takuru attacks Serika with a swarm of clones of his DI-Sword. In the Visual Novel, it's explained that Serika "changes the form" of her DI-SWORD to try and block the incoming attacks, but it never actually shows this.

I thought it was just a one-off remark since this is the only time it comes up, but it's actually drawn here in the art book.

I think it's really cool, and a shame that there wasn't even a sprite or CG showing it like this. You'd never even know Serika's sword has the same eye that Takuru's has. It's like her secret origin was crystallized into her DI-SWORD itself. Thought it was worth sharing!

I can't wait to see someone translate the book. This is probably to the closet we'll ever get to a Chaos;Child beta.

Like how, originally, Takuru seemed to have Itou's design alongside Hana's outfit.

That Wataru had a slightly different Di-Sword, with a different porter shown on release.

Or that Hana's Di-Sword was going to work like a whip. (Poor Hanabros, they can't have shit).

Makes you wonder what the original script was going to be.
