@YoDanno I must've lucked out since this is somehow still in solid condition.

What Is a Ryude? Part 3

There are several different types of Ryude. Broadly speaking, they are classified into three categories: Coursers, Footmen, and Maledictors.

A Courser is the type of Ryude that most closely resembles a human in appearance. Their silhouettes are often comparable to those of armored warriors. Beneath their armor lies a bare framework of bones and conduits, upon which each machine is fitted with its own distinctive suit of armor.

A Footman has a much more compact and stocky body. Rather than possessing a head, its Persona is attached directly to the upper torso. Its limbs are relatively simple and lack the dexterity of a Courser. Within military forces, Footmen typically serve in support roles. After all, transporting weapons, spare armor, provisions, and supplies across great distances is no easy task.

Maledictors are Ryude designed exclusively for Word-Casters. Even their Pilot Cradles differ dramatically from those of other Ryude. The central control area is often formed as a sinister circle covered in mysterious symbols and diagrams used for Word-Casting. Without extensive knowledge of the art, one would hardly know where to begin operating such a machine.

Once mastered, however, a Maledictor grants its operator tremendous power. It allows the use of advanced and highly destructive Word-Casting techniques without relying solely on the Word-Caster's own mental strength. Even great workings that would normally consume enough mental energy to kill a human practitioner can be performed, provided the necessary conditions are met.

@p_crosland @DocStrangelove2 It's Dunning-Kruger kicking in with those people, like how they assume the gun barrel's curved due to AI rendering & not because of camera lens distortion.

What Is a Ryude? Part 2

A Ryude cannot move on its own. It requires a human operator within the machine to control it. Those who have mastered the art of piloting a Ryude are known as Ryude Pilots, or more informally, Ryude riders.

The structure of a Ryude is modeled after the human body. A framework of metal bones is surrounded by Muscle Cylinders, which function as the machine's musculature, while armor plates are mounted over the top. Within the abdomen is a Cardiopulmonary Unit, an organ-like device responsible for maintaining and sustaining the machine's living tissues through the circulation and activation of blood. The chest contains the Pilot Cradle, the compartment occupied by the Ryude Pilot.

The Persona located on the face serves as the Ryude's central control organ. Embedded within the reverse side of the Persona are sixty-four Wares-Stones, arranged according to mystical principles. Through arcane techniques, the Word-Casting required to control the machine is inscribed into these stones.

As a result, the Persona can be considered one of the Ryude's most vital weak points. If it is destroyed, the Ryude effectively "dies." To protect this critical component, many western Ryude are equipped with an additional face guard mounted over the Persona.

@hakushi_tsu02 The Demon Lord lost & forgot about his favorite demonic sword which he created himself, and now it came back to bite him.

What Is a Ryude? Part 1

Ryude are relics of a prehistoric civilization that once flourished on the continent of Ahan.

Following the collapse of that ancient civilization, Ryude survived only in legends. However, around the year 200 of the Western Calendar, a mysterious organization known as the Artificer's Guild succeeded in restoring the technology of the Ryude. From there, their use rapidly spread throughout the western nations.

Standing roughly four times the height of a human, Ryude became weapons of immense power. In a world where gunpowder does not exist, their military value is difficult to overstate. As a result, they came to be used primarily as instruments of war.

The only other organization known to have preserved the knowledge required to create Ryude is the Church of Wares in the East. Curiously, it began manufacturing Ryude at almost exactly the same time that the Artificer's Guild emerged in the West—around the year 200 of the Western Calendar.

Whether this was merely a coincidence remains unknown.

Erthe Bifergiele

Classification: Courser — Standard military Ryude models

One of the more recent Courser models, the Erthe Bifergiele is believed to have first appeared around the year 780 of the Western Calendar.

Designed with extensive weight reduction in mind, the machine emphasizes speed and agility. While this lighter construction comes at the cost of reduced structural durability, its superior mobility more than compensates for the weakness.

As a speed-oriented Ryude, the Erthe Bifergiele is most commonly armed with lightweight weapons such as estocs and short swords. Although these weapons lack the raw striking power of heavier armaments, skilled Ryude Pilots can target vulnerable areas such as joints and armor seams, effectively overcoming this limitation.

Due to its specialized characteristics, the Erthe Bifergiele demands a considerable degree of piloting skill and is known to be selective in its choice of Ryude Pilot. In inexperienced hands, it is little more than a lightly protected and underpowered machine. However, when piloted by a seasoned veteran, its exceptional speed allows it to engage multiple Ryude on equal terms.

@DeltyThe73rd BTW the game has performance issues even on the best machines (due to things like Windows Defender insisting on checks with every menu action), but there are fixes which you can apply.

@PaleRiderDII Interestingly, the version aired by CN over on the SEA-side was pretty much unedited--no Disco guns, swear words & cursing intact, people popping from microwaves...Seed Destiny got the *bleep-bleep* treatment when it aired though, iirc.

@tagalogjapan23 Yes! I think I still have a box of them somewhere, lol.

@AnimeDailyPost The Rutinator's not evil. She's just very driven & loves her brother a lot.

A whole lot.
