Chapter 4: Classic

*'''General

Benny’s past. The art style is the same one used for the Osaka game’s backgrounds, but with no perspective to make it even more storybooky. For some reason, this is one of my more favorite chapters overall.

And for some extra information, Fujiura-san was accompanied by a pair of bodyguards, Kujou Kugiri (from the Osaka game) who joined GASAS to help out and her leader Ikeda Kouichi. They greeted Singlehorn while they were there.


*'''Page 1

You can see IZUMO and its rival company HANKO in the background. They both had scandals in Osaka during 1999, but they appear to be recovering.


*'''Page 2

Plainy’s post is in the office. Army works in maintenance and Sarah works on site. They think of themselves as a single team when they work on a job.


*'''Page 3

The Hyper Ben clocktower doubles as an observation platform, so after playing in the park below, you can eat dinner at the restaurant there. Sarah can sometimes be seen dropping down out the window, so that must give the diners quite a fright.

The background here is the lobby for those facilities and a simplified lobby for visiting the new Benny. There is also a vending machine and a bulletin board with notices from City Hall.


*'''Page 4

Benny’s floor tends to have a Japanese style out of respect for her rights. Or rather, for her tastes. That curtain being pulled back is meant for a hot spring, but she has it because the thick material makes it work as audio equipment. You can find the same thing in Benny’s hangar.


*'''Page 5

The museum was originally just the main building, but a left annex was built and then it continued to grow from there. It’s a common enough thing in the real world too. It’s also built to let in as much natural light as possible.

And if you look at the footprints on the upper right, you can see Sarah is walking pigeon-toed…


*'''Page 6

It’s covered up, but there is an LCD panel on the wall showing an explanatory video. And if you look to the right of Sarah’s leg at the bottom, you can see an old aerial ship model.

As a side note, this background was based on the Tsukuba History Museum I helped out at back home. (I helped build and maintain their steam train and Tamamushi-gata Hikouki.)


*'''Pages 7-8

The background already looks a lot like an abstract painting at this point, but I’m going to stay strong and provide some commentary. Panel one shows the exhibition booths. Panel two has explanation LCD panels and counters. They use headphones. Panel three has a transformer(?) and such, so it must be the safety area with a fire extinguisher and decorative plants.


*'''Pages 9-10

We have proof Benny didn’t always wear glasses!

I think she damaged her eyesight by reading her songbook in such a dark place. And she just kept using them as a habit after her upgrade. That would mean she could have preserved her eyesight by not reading any books, but could she really stay put for 100 years without reading?


*'''Pages 11-12

What, you expect me to make a joke here?
