DX Nichirin Sword ~Kocho Shinobu~ Package

First, the packaging.
The toy explodes! The character explodes! It lights up! It makes sounds! It's the ultimate DX toy package.

Since the blade of this Nichirin Sword cannot be removed, the packaging of the "DX Nichirin Sword - Kocho Shinobu" is longer than the previous "DX Nichirin Sword" packaging.

Last time, the warning signs were written in various languages, but this time they were only in Japanese.
What exactly is the difference?

The contents are simply the Nichirin sword itself.
There are no instructions included either.

DX Nichirin Sword ~Kocho Shinobu~ Main Unit Review

The blade is a clear part with glitter.
It's very transparent and very beautiful.
The design is adorned with butterfly motifs that were not present in the original design.

I lined up the "DX Nichirin Sword" and "DX Nichirin Sword ~Kocho Shinobu~".
In comparison, the "DX Nichirin Sword" is a little longer.
The "DX Nichirin Sword - Kocho Shinobu" is easier to swing as the blade does not come off.

No, you shouldn't swing it around...

The purple part at the tip of the bladeSoft PartsHas become.
I like how the arrangement incorporates poison and butterflies well, taking into consideration the target age group.
The service is excellent.

The ridged areas are not painted, but are represented by a holographic sticker or paper on the inside of the clear parts.
Stand out amongst the fancy designs"Demon"The letters look cool.

And on the other side...

Destruction

Kill

Am I the only one who thinks of Cloto Buell when I see these two letters?

Thanks to the tsuba, it can be kept standing up nicely.

At first glance, the green part of the tsuba looks like dust that got caught in the paint job, which may be a bit shocking, but it's okay.

Compared to the previous "DX Nichirin Sword," the design of the handle of this "DX Nichirin Sword - Kocho Shinobu" has been brushed up.
The surface is textured, giving it a rough feel.

When you open the handle cover, you will find the battery box.
Uses two AA batteries.

There is a power switch on the head.
Sliding to the circle will turn the power on, sliding to the cross will turn the power off, and even if it's left on, it will automatically turn off after a certain period of time without any operation.

When the power is turned on, the butterfly will continue to glow and will flash when the sound gimmick described below is activated.

The sound gimmick is activated by pressing the button on the handle.
The previous Nichirin sword had rather dull buttons, but this one has bright, flashy butterfly-shaped buttons.
There are two types of audio: "Breath of Insects Mode," which plays the names of techniques and sound effects, and "Famous Scene Mode," which plays lines from the movie. You can switch between these modes by quickly pressing the button twice.

My impressions after playing with DX Nichirin Sword ~Kocho Shinobu~

The "DX Nichirin Sword" was released at the end of last year and was thought to be a one-off, but an unexpected follow-up product, "DX Nichirin Sword - Kocho Shinobu", has now been released.
The appeal of this item is its visual design, which has been restyled into a DX toy with an even bolder arrangement than the previous model.
In addition, a light-up gimmick that was not available on the "DX Nichirin Sword" has been added, making it a truly DX specification.
From an otaku perspective, this is the first DX toy to feature Hayami Saori's voice since the "Maho Girls PreCure!" related toys.
There are many audio patterns, so you should be satisfied even if that is your purpose.
Up until now, sword-shaped or sword-like toys for girls have been released frequently, but a sword toy is quite rare.
If this sells like hotcakes, will there be a lot of sword toys being released?

The release of "DX Nichirin Sword - Agatsuma Zenitsu" has also been announced for July 2021, and expectations are high for this as well.
