Blade & Bastard Rakugo by Wizardry fan and rakugo artist San’yutei Rakuten Released To commemorate the release of the 7th volume of the “Blade & Bastard” manga, we have released a new rakugo story by rakugo artist San’yutei Rakuten, “Blade & Bastard Nedoi.” Rakuten, who is himself a huge fan of the “Wizardry” series and a reader of “Blade & Bastard,” has created a rakugo story filled with “Blade & Bastard love.” Rakuten is the creator of “TRPG Rakugo,” a form of storytelling based on tabletop role-playing games (TRPGs), and is also an avid game enthusiast and GM (Game Master). This project was made possible thanks to Rakuten’s deep understanding of the games and his unique perspective as a rakugo performer and GM, as well as his love of TRPGs and “Wizardry.” Please pay attention to how Rakuten’s exceptional storytelling style will express the world of “Blade & Bastard” as rakugo. The video of the new rakugo story “Brebas Nemoni” is now available on the official “Drecom Media” YouTube channel. ◎Original Rakugo “Brebas Konmon” https://youtu.be/hlF0DkU1wts

Its elements, such as party formation, labyrinth exploration, monster battles, and character growth, had a profound influence on many subsequent RPGs, and it is considered one of the forerunners of the RPG genre. Numerous sequels have been released to this day, and even now, more than 40 years after its release, it remains a timeless classic that enjoys enduring popularity worldwide. In 2020, we acquired the copyrights to “Wizardry 6,” “Wizardry 7,” “Wizardry 8,” and “Wizardry Gold” from the “Wizardry” series, as well as the domestic and international trademark rights to “Wizardry.” ◆Special site: https://wizardry.info/ ◆Official X (old Twitter):
