Fiction

Arms Micron Theater

O.P. brought a bunch of Arms Microns to the master of the Arms Micron-style Weapon Link Dojo to ask him about the secret behind ultimate weapon-linking. Once the master revealed to them that there wasn't really anything to it but attaching to one another, the group did as he said and all combined together, resulting in the Samurai Sword Mode.

Notes

• To go with the whole samurai theme, the name of the Samurai Sword Mode is written entirely in the kanji script used for native Japanese words rather than the katakana used for loanwords. Normally this name would be read as "Samurai Taiken Henkei", but the furigana written alongside it specifies that it should be pronounced "Samurai Sword Mode".
