Author's Commentary #153:
Time to talk about Chapter 153: Sir Grobhand vs Numakawa.
With a title like that, I'm sure you can guess this chapter's going to be cringe. At least the game was only 5 moves. But now, Numakawa looks like the big brain meme. Welp, at least I have a new game to add to my next top 10 most hated games list. Though the other game is a different story since it was a 3-check game.
As the name implies the goal is to either check your opponent 3 times or flat out checkmate them to win. Since Medeucesa got off-screened by Azenira, decided to at least have a game featuring her. I don't think I'll ever showcase a match featuring Azenira or Zago, but if this series gets a video game adaptation, you can bet players will get to play ever Zago and Azenira match. Prior to the revision, the game was originally played between Bette and Medeucesa, but for the revision, I decided to have it be between Medeucesa and Numakawa.
One thing I'll point out is that Sir Grobhand's rating of 1975 is a reference to the year Monty Python and the Holy Grail released. Speaking of Sir Grobhand, Sir Grobhand actually died in the original draft. The reason I decided to spare him here is simply because he's a somewhat funny character and while I did plan to replace him with a similar character, there's just no beating good ole "Sir Grobhand". While those characters I intended to replace him will still likely make their appearance, now they'll do it alongside Sir Grobhand.
As for the story, things will get interesting again when Okisato rematches Red Reaper. Now that he's beaten him once already, I'm sure he's got a better idea on how to beat him once more.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
