Description

A tale of revenge set in future Shanghai, where crime syndicates and cyber-warriors rule the city.

The schools of martial arts can be largely divided into two styles - Waijia, the external schools that concentrate solely on the development of speed, strength, and powerful forms and techniques - and Neijia, those that use control of breathing and blood flow to master the internal energy - qi - that flows through the body's meridians. Because of these methodological differences, the two styles have vied time and again for supremacy.

Although practitioners of Waijia were far greater in number, in the end not one of them could stand up to a warrior who had truly mastered the secrets of Neijia. For centuries, this was the unchallenged law of the martial arts world. However, the advent of cybernetics changed everything. Freed from the yoke of their physical limitations, Waijia schools discovered an entirely new world of possibility. The Neijia schools that had reigned over the martial world with their secret techniques, suddenly found themselves obsolete.

In this age where technology is changing the face of combat, heirs to the ancient martial traditions have developed anti-cyborg techniques for the sole purpose of defeating cyborgs with one's bare hands - at great cost to the wielder.

Kong Taoluo, one such master and former asssassin in the Qingyun Society, returns to Shanghai from a year in recovery after being betrayed by the syndicate and assumed dead. Discovering the horrible truth of what has happened to his sister during his absence; Taoluo swears an oath of vengeance and sets out to murder those responsible.

<report>There are times where you read for the sake of enjoying the very act of reading. Authors who are able produce this effect to its readers are deserving of veneration. A rather short-lived experience of Kikokugai in its original text demonstrates the writer's ability without a doubt. Though the translator did a very fine job in depicting the colorfulness of its language, I just think there's something in the way Gen Urobuchi writes words that cannot be perfectly captured in another language.

Kikokugai being a kinetic novel, does not take full advantage to what the medium can do, and thus may be accused as less ambitious as similar stories with diverging storylines. What Kikokugai lacks in... Read more »

<report>Set in China this is a fantastic visual novel about revenge in a world of augmented cyborgs. Kikokugai - Cyber Slayer the remake is a visually stunning visual novel and as incredible music that gives me vybes of Saya No Uta at times the music suits the setting and story incredibly. The main selling point here is how well the fights are wrote and how each chapter depicts an act of revenge against one of the people responsible for a terrible act done to Kong Lao's Sister Ruili. Kong Lao will stop at nothing to get revenge for what happened but at the same time he tries to do something unthinkable in the realms of this Cyber World. The martial Arts are depicted incredibly well and use real... Read more »

<report>at first, i didn't even know what rating i should give kikokugai. if you've read the novel, you can tell by my username that, well, i actually liked it. but i have a complex relationship with kikokugai as a whole, i think
i love the premise. god, i really do! i think that nothing could be cooler than a transhumanist setting with martial arts and cyber warriors - unfortunately, it lacks in a few places.
the story was very entertaining and the fights were captivating, even i if i find it hard to wrap my head around contact sports with little to no visual feedback.
i think my main issue is that, again, gen urobuchi's misogyny and his dependence on shock value. game starts with a woman being... Read more »
