After Kumogi bought the RoboCop action figure, the Bakudan boys continued exploring the ZEB venue, which buzzed with energy and excitement. Cosplayers in elaborate outfits, gaming fans from across the country, and rows of vendors selling exclusive food and limited-edition action figures filled the massive building. The boys were practically screaming internally — there were just too many cool items they wanted to own! But the prices weren't exactly friendly. High quality didn't come cheap.
Among the jaw-dropping collectibles was the centerpiece of the merchandise floor: a gigantic, hyper-detailed Gun-Nac R.C. Plane, priced at a staggering 400,000 yen. Kumogi, a die-hard Gun-Nac fan, stared at it as though he'd just seen heaven.
"If only I were rich... I want that so bad!!" he moaned. "I... I want that Gun-Nac spaceship. I want it so badly... but I don't have that kind of money."
His friends could only pat him on the back, sighing in solidarity.
Sakaki tried to persuade him. "Sometimes, being too big doesn't mean it's good. Cheer up, Kumogi, man." Rikki, meanwhile, glared at Sakaki angrily. "What do you mean!? Of course the bigger they are—" Sakaki smacked Rikki on the head. "Shut up, you fool. Whatever you're thinking, it's not that."
Kumogi chuckled, watching his friends' antics. "One day... one day, I'll buy that big-ass action figure!" His friends nodded, proud of him.
Just then, the lights dimmed and a spotlight illuminated the main stage. Out stepped none other than Zaboru's secretary, Yumi Ichijou, dressed in a stunning Princess Daisy cosplay.
"Hello everyone!" she announced brightly. "I'm Yumi Ichijou, secretary to ZAGE's boss, Zaboru Renkonan! For today's event, I'll be your MC! Nice to meet you all!" Yumi bow gracefully.
The crowd erupted in cheers — and more than a few murmurs of envy. After all, not only was Yumi beautiful and charismatic, but she worked directly under Zaboru.
Internally, Yumi sighed. Ugh, I'm way too old for this, but Boss Zaboru pays me way too well to say no. Let's go, Yumi. Showtime.
Smiling through her internal monologue, she scanned the crowd. "Everyone, please find your seats if you're done shopping or eating. And don't worry — you're free to leave and return during the event. We're not strict here!"
The audience began shuffling into their seats, tickets in hand. Many held plushies, toys, or unopened action figure boxes like prized relics.
Yumi's voice rang out again. "Alright! To kick things off, we have a special performance from the twin singers who've been topping Japan's music charts lately — the Sujin Sisters!"
A loud roar of surprise and excitement followed as Hana and Mina took the stage.
"What!? The Sujin Sisters are here!?" — "Totally unexpected!" many fans exclaimed, stunned.
"Hello, everyone!" Hana greeted. "Thank you so much for coming!"
Mina grinned and added, "This event is amazing! There's so much tasty food and adorable merch. I love it! Right, Hana?"
Hana nodded. "Absolutely! Now then — let's start with our hit single, Love is Weird!"
The song began, and the audience was swept away. Their synchronized choreography, high energy, and catchy melody left the crowd mesmerized. By the time the performance ended, the venue echoed with applause then The Sujin Sisters Excuse themself.
Yumi returned to the stage, her voice booming through the speakers. "And now, ladies and gentlemen — please welcome the Zankoku Band, featuring none other than the man, the myth, the God of Video Games — Zaboru Renkonan!"
Cheers exploded across the room. The band emerged in sleek, black heavy metal-inspired outfits. But all eyes were on Zaboru. Dressed in full King Ranger armor — a hidden Sentai from the Z-Man sentai series — and wearing his signature Zabo-man helmet, he exuded unmatched presence. As always, no matter what costume he wore his Z-shaped mask remained a constant.
The crowd began chanting: "Zaboru! Zaboru! Zaboru!"
Zaboru raised his fist and shouted, "Hello everyone! Are you ready for our new songs?!"
"YEAH!!" the audience screamed back.
Grinning behind his mask, Zaboru raised the mic. "Then let's get started!"
The Zankoku Band launched into their performance, opening with a new song them which is Songs from *Onmyoza – Aoki Dokugan * From Zaboru previous life
Zaboru sang first with heavy voice that make audience shudder:
"Sare ni motsureshi ito ni
taga sukui torare
Touni nakushita kami no tsuna
tada onore wo kakete"
Then the lead female vocalist, Miki Tachibana, followed with a strong female voices:
"Aragau wa kegare naki kami no mana!
Nokosu tame chikai no enishi de togu"
Back to Zaboru:
"Kudaru wo kuyuru madoi
soha kujin no saga
Kotowari mo naki shioki nara
mou kokoro wa iranu"
Miki sings again:
"Aragau wa sazarenaru nami no mada hatenu tame
Owari wo senishite tatsu"
The songs continue and The audience was stunned. Some banged their heads to the rhythm; others stood in awe. The performance was powerful — perfectly setting the tone for the celebration.
After the performance ended, Zaboru shouted, "Thank you, everyone! We'll sing again later! But for now, we excuse ourselves — back to you, Princess Daisy!" He and the Zankoku Band left the stage, leaving the audience stunned by their songs.
"Damn! What powerful songs — I loved every second of it!" one person shouted, echoing the thoughts of many. Around the hall, fans were buzzing. Some were wiping away sweat, overwhelmed by the emotional intensity and head banging Others kept cheering long after the band had left, hoping for an encore. A few just high on adrenaline wide-eyed and grinning, they still excited!. The performance had left an imprint — one that wouldn't fade anytime soon.
After the energy began to settle, Yumi Ichijou stepped back onto the stage to continue the next events.
