Ako is pretty good at arcade drumming games but she’s nothing compared to her big sis, Tomoe! In fact, Tomoe decides to show her little sister how it’s done. The game of choice is Taiko: Drum Master! Oops, I meant to say Wadaiko Spirits. They’re totally different games. Tomoe impresses the crowd with her drumming skills. At this rate, she’s going to claim the top spot in the rankings. But out of nowhere, a challenger appears! And that challenger turns out to be MASKING. A drum battle between Tomoe and MASKING? This should be good!
It looks like an evenly matched battle at the start but MASKING eventually pulls ahead with her super fast drumming. She moves so fast that it looks like she has three heads and six arms! Impressive Asura technique. How will Tomoe respond? With a little help from Ako, she’s able to unleash her Akomic Tomoester Hurricane technique that lets her drum with 12 times the power! This drum battle is so intense that it causes an explosion in the arcade. But who won!? It turns out to be a tie! However, they’re both tied for second place. Wait, who took first place then!? That would be none other than Maya. We should have seen that one coming.
In Summary:
Maya is the best drummer in BanG Dream confirmed! One has to wonder what crazy technique(s) she possesses. I’d personally like to see another drum battle involving all of the drummers. Granted, we all know Maya would win but still, it’d be fun. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have the sudden urge to play some Taiko: Drum Master…
