Part 4

7th Impact: Mechanicalwork Grudge

Rather lame level overall, especially the recycled boss fights. Two mini-games (I mean gimmicks) make up for it at least.



Super Sexy Japanese Bonus Update - Intro cutscene, opening song and Japanese finishers

The game was only dubbed in English, just like God hand and the DMC games, and for whatever reason the intro doesn't play for me on emulator with the US version, normally it does when you start the first impact, so here it is but with JP text.

This video has the Japanese introduction exposition dump cutscene when you start the game, the JP opening song as well as the finisher names during the button mashing finishers. Here are the different finishers names you get in this version, if anyone knows Japanese then feel free to translate them and correct me:

G - Gassho ("Buddhist-style pressed-palm gesture of piety", a ritual gesture of Eastern origin, with hands pressed together in front of the chest. It can be used for prayer or as a sign of greeting, gratitude, reverence, or apology. When performed with a bow, it is called gassho rei.)
F - Harakiri ("cutting the belly" aka seppuku, a ritual suicide)
E - Koishigure (Shigure for drizzle; shower in late autumn (fall) or early winter or something, ancient fall, evil fall, dense fall, etc. koi for evil intentions or love)
D - Yumeshibai (Theatre of dreams?)
C - Oroshi (some sort of wind)
B - Zan (Cutting, slicing)
A - Daisetsudan (great dismemberment/a big cut, etc.)

Seibai = Punishement / "Justice has been served" in the context of the game
