This week’s issue of Famitsu has a big update on Rodea: The Sky Soldier. The magazine introduces the “R series” of humanoid robots, new characters, and more.
R Series
One portion of Famitsu’s article reveals information about the “R series”. This is a series of humanoid robots with the power of flight.
The emperor of Naga empire, Giado, launched the “R project” to produce robots to use as a spearhead in invading other countries. Rodea has lost the memory of that event, and is now protecting the people of Garuda by confronting his former allies. Rodea was a prototype, so the other members of the R series are more powerful.
Speaking of Giado, Famitsu has a couple of tidbits about the character. He was formerly a good father of Cecilia. That all changes, and he has since enhanced his body with machine parts.
Below is the full rundown of the R series:
R1 (nickname Ortos)
– The first in the R line
– An advanced model of Rodea: combines offense and defense
– Swears the utmost loyalty to the emperor Giado
– Speaks in a bit disrespectful way
– Rodea is trying to bring a medicinal herb for Tonio when R1 approaches Rodea and attacks
– When fighting with Ortos, you have to shower him with attacks to break his barrier; boost attacks are effective for thisR2 (nickname Lailas)
– The second robot with a specialty of speed

– Follows after Rodea, possibly intending to kidnap Ion
– Strengthened R2 creates a barrier in battle which deals damage to anything it touches
– R2 can shoot a huge round beam which cuts things into piecesR3 (nickname Kerbes)
