New Bombergirl Unveiled (+ Dr. Ein?!)

The clock is now ticking on Bombergirl, with around 4 characters left to be revealed before the full cast is complete!


Meet Melora! After a bunch of Konami's usual vagueposting shenanigans on the game's Twitter, she was finally unveiled back at the beginning of November. 




Based off of Princess Melora from Konami's Twinbee series, it's explained in-universe that she's the daughter of Melora and has been sent to Earth to deal with an oncoming threat. And who else would that threat be, then, than Platina, who's quite literally based off of Bomberman 64's Sirius? With Platina's debut (and us being made aware of the Cosmic Cube's existence here), we were introduced to an idol group called the "Pretty Bombers", who were essentially made aware of this threat.



Something interesting worth noting, as pointed out by user @Shizen_Bomber, is that the four girls' main color schemes make up that of Super Bomberman 2's initial design for, well, Pretty Bomber, being the overall pink sports dress, the yellow sports scarf, the purple belt, shoes, and gloves, and then the green visor.
What are the chances we'll be seeing the actual character soon?

Actually, though, prior to even writing this article, I wasn't even aware this game had lore. In addition to all the ecchi, it's no question why the game's seemingly doing so well. Maybe I'll put an article together at some point going over everything we know. 




She falls into the 'blocker' territory, which basically means they're good at defending themselves through their heavy focus on and use of barriers. Putting down a bevy of soft blocks, the first one takes two blasts to destroy. The level 2 move likely heals teammates within a certain distance, while 3 provides an extra hit.
If I'm wrong about this, then I'll change these descriptions.

In another recent comic posted on the game's Twitter page, we see Platina initially turn Emera and Silva evil, only for it to be undone in the usual one-off fashion. At the end, however, we see this:


Yeah, that's right. We get another surprise cameo (with the last few being Honey, Mujoe and the numerous HIGE grunts) in the form of Dr. Ein. 
There's really nothing to say here besides the surprise at Konami actually remembering anything that doesn't come from Super Bomberman R. It's not like any of these guys are going to actually appear in-game, so who cares?

Anyway, as always. Thank you all once again for reading my stupid rambles about Bomberman. Until next time, I'll be catching you all on the other side of the boom!
