[News] Tentacles and Magical Girls in New Valkyria Game

Tentacle rape and Valkyria go like peanut butter and jelly, it's one of their main staples. So, it's really no surprise that their newly announced title, Denma Zecchou☆Mahou Shoujo Suzuha ~Kagaku to Mahou to Shokushu Inshun~ goes back to that familiar well.

Literally, the title translates to Lightning Demonic Orgasm☆Magical Girl Suzuha ~Magical Girl of Science and the Crawling Tentacles~, but as one would expect, there's a double meaning with "Denma" being a made-up word that also implies a mix of technology and magic. Not sure if Zecchou can also have a double meaning here. I digress.

The game premise is simple: Earth is invaded by an alien lifeform known as Barbaroi, a mass of tentacles that is impervious to all conventional weaponry. With mankind driven to the brink of extinction, the Earth's essence (in the form of a condescending fairy-like creature called Kyupii) chooses a girl called Sono to be a Magical Girl and fight them off. Two years pass, and life returns to a semblance of normalcy while the magical girl imbued with divine powers fights off the invaders. A sense of apathy sets in and people treat Sono's life-and-death battles like a spectacle, much to her dismay.

That's when a girl called Suzuha witnesses her weeping and, deciding the way people are treating her is wrong, decides she wants to help. This is when she meets a scientist who gives a hi-tech battle suit called Magical Dress that can mimic the powers of a Magical Girl through science. And thus, the Magical Girls of Divinity and Science stand together against the alien menace. Which of course means they'll get raped over and over again by endless hordes of tentacles.

One interesting thing is that the character profiles highlight Kyupii's sense of self-preservation a lot, which makes me think the little slimeball will sell out the magical girls to the invaders in at least one ending.

On top of that, there's also a mysterious shadowy figure that appears to be the leader of the Barbaroi. A tentacle girl, of course.

I'm usually not that big into tentacles and have not played many of Valkyria's tentacle games, but this one caught my attention. First, magical girls with rocket boosters are my religion, and second, the setup and dynamic between the two heroines, with Suzuha wanting to help Sono and Sono pushing her away, thinking of her as a fake magical girl while herself is cracking under the pressure of defending the ungrateful masses, sounds interesting, I want to see them broken and twisted.

Art is done by C.R, an artist I'm not familiar with, but I like what I see in the previews.

There's not much else to say, really, just wanted to highlight this game. Mahou Shoujo Suzuha is scheduled to be released on July 26.

[News] New Kyousei Shihai Previews Draw a Clearer Picture of the Game

Last time I talked about Bishop's upcoming title, I translated and shared my impressions on the official website's character profiles. Over a month later, the Features page of the official site has been updated with lots of new information, and like I promised back then, I'm covering the most relevant and interesting parts of it.

Since this is the first Bishop game I get to cover on the Dorei Cafe, let's start with the basics of the basics: the game flow.

As with most Bishop games, Kyousei Shihai has each in-game day split into several sections (three, in this case) where you choose a heroine to interact with from a map screen, advancing her individual scenario, unlocking her h-scenes.

The game has a limited number of days you can spend training the various heroines, and as you advance their events, you turn them into sex slaves. After they've surrendered you unlock an ending for that girl, or you can train her further with more intense versions of previous h-scenes, commonly called "retraining" scenes by the fanbase. According to the site, by corrupting all heroines and doing their retraining scenes within the time limit, you unlock the harem ending. Pretty straightforward stuff.

A solo ending for each heroine and a harem ending for all of them is a staple of Bishop games

As the story summary explains, the protagonist has the power to control the "lewd chi" inside his targets' bodies and use that to stimulate their erogenous zones and not only enhance the feelings of pleasure during training, but also develop those regions, giving them engorged nipples and clitoris, permanently increasing their libido, and even making their breasts lactate. I was quite surprised to see that lactation seems to be something that every heroine will have, something that Bishop has done before, but that was loudly advertised as a focal point the last time (in 2020's Reijo Kanritou). I really like how Biship handles lactation so I'm pleasantly surprised. I was even more surprised to see stomach inflation making a comeback. As in some past titles of the company, the protagonist can cum large amounts of semen and make the heroines' bellies swell at the climax of a sex scene.

I've seen some backlash to the protagonist having special powers to stimulate the girls sexually, instead of just relying on straightforward mindbreak, but I feel that tying his powers to these small body modifications makes it pretty interesting. It's also something previous Bishop protagonists did with drugs, so there's no real difference narrative-wise.

It's also worth noting that heart pupils, which have been a staple of retraining scenes for a while now, will show up during regular sex scenes as well, as an indicator of when the heroines lose control of themselves to the pleasure induced by the protagonist's lewd chi control, something the game calls "training frenzy". This will be accompanied by pink-colored dialogue. On top of that, ahegao, which is something that had been sadly relegated to optional cut-ins in recent years, is something the art is fully committing to again, much to my delight. Bishop games felt incomplete without properly integrated ahegao.

Honestly, the combination of these elements makes this game feel like a nice callback to those late 2000s/early 2010s Bishop games which had stuff like cumflation, engorged nipples, lactation and ahegao on the forefront. This isn't the first time Bishop returns to any of those things, but I don't remember one that brings it all back at once.

Hentai Glossary K to M

 

Glossary Index

This entry of the Hentai Glossary gave me trouble. There's some troublesome entries here, in terms of how to structure the article. Like for example, Transformation. I decided to employ subcategories to give some examples of transformation, because there's no way I could ever make an exhaustive list of types of transformation. And it doesn't take a genius to notice they're mostly from specific subgenres. Because they're the ones I have familiarity with. At the end of the day, the Glossary is limited by stuff I have familiarity with. It's why I often ask for input on tags or tropes the readers would like to see covered as entries, so it can grow beyond my rather limited scope of interests. I had a similar issue with Time Stop in the previous Glossary post, but I had a friend who's more into it give me some recommendations and also discussed the appeal of the genre with him.

At the same time, my biases show in the other direction when I have separate entries for Mesubuta, Mesuinu and Mesu Ushi, all three of which, as presented here, can be considered forms of demeaning pet play. But not only a "Mesu" tag would make little sense, I have more to draw from for each of these.

So, with the mask off on how biased this series really is (lmao), let's get to today's entries.

Kimo Otoko (キモ男), Kitanai Ossan (汚いおっさん)/Ugly Bastard, Dirty Old Man

Often the one doing all the raping and mindbreaking we talk about in this blog, the ugly bastard is one of the stock characters for the role of corruptor.

To my knowledge, there isn't a single term equivalent in usage to "ugly bastard" used in English-speaking circles, but the closest approximations would be the two above, as well as KimoOta, meaning Ugly Otaku. The unifying factor is that the man is supposed to be disgusting. Kimoi doesn't carry only the connotation of being physically ugly, but also creepy, and repulsive. Their presence in mindbreak and mind control stories is often a means of increasing both the feeling of perversion (as the broken woman will be debasing herself for the affection of a grotesque man) but also the gap between the disgust she displays at the beginning and her eagerness and love once the process of sexual training, brainwashing or whatever transpired is complete.

On the other hand, some people find the mere presence of this kind of character to completely take the momentum out of any scene and avoid works featuring one, which can be a bit hard in darker genres.

Kyosei Henshin (強制変身), Henka (変化)/Forced Transformation

I briefly touched on the subject of transformation in the entry about Corruption, but this is the most generalist version. When someone is transformed into something else as setup or result of sexual content (or is transformed during the sexual act), it falls under this category.

While in English we generally use Transformation as a catch-all term, in Japan Kyousei Henshin (Forced Transformation) is the more catch-all term, with Henka (Transformation) usually showing up in titles and tags together with what the character is being transformed into. For searching purposes, the most efficient way is combining the second kanji of the word 変化 with whatever the victim is being transformed into, as those portmanteaus are popular in tagging systems and as genre names, more commonly than  Kyosei Henshin. Some notable examples include:

- Jotaika (女体化): Male characters being transformed into females. Also called TSF or Feminization. Usually involves an involuntary body transformation leading to a mental transformation that progresses the more sex the character has. 

Magia Witch Iori
Nyotaika is surprisingly common in Magical Girl Akuochi works

- Kaijinka (怪人化): Transforming into a (usually humanoid) monster. Kaijin is a word that invokes the imagery of tokusatsu monsters, which in the early Kamen Rider series that popularized the term were modified and brainwashed humans. This one crosses over with Akuochi a lot, with heroines becoming more monstrous in appearance with different skin colors and appendages in their bodies instead of just evil costume changes.

Right: Stardians ~Saigo no Hi~

- Sentouinka (戦闘員化): A variation of the above where instead of a Kaijin, the girl is transformed into a combatant, the rank and file mooks of the evil organization that often look like a person in a bodysuit or leotard wearing a mask, and has an overexcited personality, screaming words of praise to its masters all the time (when they can speak, that is. More often than not, combatants don't speak, only vocalize weird screams). Haigure stuff often overlaps with this.

Chouetsu Senki Prime Ranger

- Inmaka (淫魔化) and Mamonoka (魔物化): Transforming into a demon or, in the case of inmaka, a specifically a succubus. Mamono is the general term for demons and monsters used in Japanese fantasy, especially JRPGs.

There are other, more niche kinds of transformation, like Shokushuka for someone turning into tentacles, for example. Generally. throwing 化 at the end of a word and searching for it is a good way to see if there's transformation porn for that specific thing.

Mesubuta (雌豚)/Sow

雌 (mesu) means female, but it's used only for animals. So, Mesubuta (雌豚) literally means female pig, or sow. Calling someone a sow in Japanese porn usually carries the meaning of being dirty, perverted, and lustful in nature. It is very offensive, and anyone who isn't some sort of broken slave will be appalled and furious to be called that. On the other hand, corrupted heroines will think of it as high praise.

While it can stay as just something the male character calls the woman to highlight her sluttiness, it often also manifests as pet play, with the heroine donning a pig costume, nose hook or, at the very least, doing pig sounds - either saying buhi, the onomatopoeia for a pig noise in Japanese, or more guttural cries that resemble the actual animal.

Mesuinu (雌犬)/Bitch

Bitch, as in a female dog. This is another petplay trope. Unlike Mesubuta where the pet play aspect is optional, this one always shows up accompanied by it - from just pretending to be a dog (usually doing the Fukujuu no Pose discussed in a previous Glossary) to wearing a costume.

Not much to elaborate on here, the degrading aspect is the same as Mesubuta - often emphasizing the "horny animal in heat" aspect -, just with a different animal.

Bottom row: Mesuinu Haramase Oyakodon, The Animalm@ster Vol. 1

Meushi (雌牛), Mesu Ushi (メス牛)/Cow

Another animal-related one, but this time it's a bit different. Here the main feature is the large breasts and often, lactation.

While full-on costumes with a headband with little cow ears and an anal plug tail are ideal, a micro-bikini with a cow pattern or a simple bell around the neck are also enough to signify the girl's status as a cow.

As expected a lot of attention will be given to the breasts, often reducing the heroine's entire sense of worth to them and their use for the male's sexual pleasure.

Mesugaki (メスガキ)

A term that has gained popularity in recent years. It's a young girl (usually a middle schooler or younger) who acts in a bratty way, full of herself, making light of adults. You might have come across the meme "grr, damn brat, needs correction" at some point, and that's basically the gist of it. Mesugakis tease their elders and often get punished for it. At least in the kind of stuff I cover here. I'm sure there are works out there with more dominant mesugaki who just keep teasing endlessly without the mighty penis of correction ever coming their way, but I don't know of any.

Often Mesugakis are presented as fashionable, mixing cuteness with sex appeal, often with some kogal or jirai-kei fashion inspirations.

And that concludes our Hentai Glossary for the day. As for what's next, I can't think of any tags starting with the letter N that are known to spark heated arguments and controversies, so the next Glossary should be fun.
