Ask Ninjara - ARMS!

Ask Blog Part "San"

I've returned once again after a small absence. I offer my apologies for keeping those of you who have given me asks waiting. Hopefully you all have enjoyed your holidays- I look forward to greeting more with you all.

Let us continue, yes?

Junkpup asked:
What was your first impression of Springman? Did your impression of him change since you first met him?

When I first met Springman, I admit I underestimated him. He had this... Naive cheeriness that brought me to believe that he has not yet tasted the power of other fighters. However, my impression of him changed tremendously after witnessing many of his fights. In no way is he weak; he is skilled and strong, and I highly respect his abilities as well as his attitude about fighting. I, ah, admire him... Don't say it to his face, however. In fact, I believe he is the closest to becoming the next Grand Prix champion among us. That doesn't mean I'll be backing down, though.

ImogenHedgehog asked:
Can you name 5/6 favorite moments with Spring and the others + what's your new years goals?

For my New Year's goals, I strive to strengthen myself and my skills, and receive the Golden Grand Prix belt. I also hope to continue to do well in my studies at the Ninja College- my final years there approach.

I also don't often mention my times with other fighters so openly, as I'm afraid they will lose their serious image of me, but it cannot be helped- I admit I can be soft...

6 of my favorite moments are, in no certain order,
1. The time Springman had asked me to train with him. I was new to the ARMS League at the time, and he truly helped me feel at home. I managed to hone my skills; and got a glimpse of his strength.
2. The time I ate ramen at Min Min's ramen noodle house. Their ramen, I say shamelessly, is amazing and reminds me of home.
3. When Lola Pop hosted a mini circus and included all of the fighters. While it sounds silly, everyone was able to demonstrate their abilities and show off quite a bit to entertain the crowd. I admit it was very enjoyable.
4. When I was included in an advertisement for a clothing line with Ribbongirl, Springman, and Min Min. Although I'm not too fond of being in such a spotlight, the clothes were very stylish, and I felt... A little more confident in my public image.
5. Snakeboarding with Kid Cobra during a festival. It's entertaining to participate in something outside of the League fights, and snakeboarding is an activity I could add to my list of hobbies in the future. Kid Cobra is also a very respectable person- his calm, or "chill" as he says, demeanor is nice.
6. Spending Christmas with the fighters, and taking a nice break from fighting. I got various books as gifts, managed to share interesting conversations with everyone (Ribbongirl says hello after I mentioned to her the progress of my ask blog,) and the party was very jubilant. Then someone brought out the alcohol- it could've been either Max Brass or Kid Cobra- and I snuck out.

OtakuForLife27 asked:
What's it like having arms like that? Does it make it more difficult to do tasks or is it actually helpful?

The masks that ARMS fighters wear help us keep control of our ARMS. We keep the masks on at all times because without them, we lose all reign over the ARMS. With my mask on, life is much easier, and my ARMS make everything convenient for me. I can coil my arms to do simpler activities, like reading and cooking, then spring into action just as quickly by uncoiling them at will- as you see in our fights.

Without the mask, life would be dangerous and tedious. The ARMS will coil and uncoil as they please, beyond my control...

Even after so long, I should mention, it feels slightly odd to have ARMS. I remember the days before I woke up with these uncoiled gears, and... I forgot what it felt like to lead a normal life without the League.

But I don't regret anything.
