panzer grizzly.

The instant the referee announced the start of the match, Kaga was the first to move.

 “OOOOOOOoOoOooOoOoOOoOoooo!!!!!!”

 He roared with a voice that resonated in the whole dome, and boiled up the magic power in his whole body. At the same time, his body began to change. Losing the organic skin color, it changed into shiny steel. That was the reason for the Panzer Grizzly nickname. Renji Kaga’s Noble Art that changed his whole body into steel ── Steel Skin.

[Contender Kaga made the first move! He literally changed his whole body into steel!」

「It is a process necessary to utilize his ability. That’s only obvious.」

 Just like Yaotome said, Kaga had to go through that process for his battle or he wouldn’t be able to begin. His huge brown bear size body, and the arm strength enhanced by his weight increased several times. And then the hardness that could repel his opponent’s attacks with his guard.

With the strength of those two parts, the attack-specialized battle style utilizing sumo’s rush power and superior handling technique, he would overwhelm his opponent. That was the battle style of Panzer Grizzly.

However──

“Gahaha! That’s wrong! Commentator-san!”

That’s right, that was only up to that moment.

「Eh......?」

“This is different from the Steel Skin until now. This is my secret trump card for fighting against Ouma!”

 As he said so, at the same time Kaga completed transforming his whole body into steel, a different magic power from Steel Skin ran across his whole body. Immediately after──

“GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”

Along with his roar, Renji Kaga’s body began to change in a way never seen before. On the steeled lump that was Kaga’s shoulders, two new arms on each side, in total four arms grew out from both sides.

「W-What! T-This is! His arms have multiplieeeed!?」

The announcer and audience raised surprised shouts at the strange transformation. On the other hand, Yaotome in charge of commentary analyzed the situation calmly.

「I see. Not just hardening, that’s also shape-shifting. With this increase in number of arms, it’s obvious that the offensive and defensive power will increase threefold......! He must have thought this through.」

“Gahaha! Just as commentator-san said! My Device Raiden’s ability is steelifying of my body! Thus it is reasonable for me to be able to change the form of said steel freely! This is what I was hiding! Its name is ── Steel Asura Form! Ouma! I have spent five years developing this technique to win against you! Receive it gratefully!!”
