HAZUSE Has Reached Its 26th Anniversary—Konkichi, Full of Memories, Charges In! ( ゚д゚ )
Garo-san stayed up late, and the site has been renewed too!
There are also articles about the legendary project 『Oyugikai』, something that could never be done today, so take a look if you’d like ( ̄ー ̄)
And this time, we’re battling it out after the introduction of 『Sengoku Collection 6』 and 『L Nangoku Sodachi SPECIAL』!
A ridiculous number of new machines are released every month, but I’m happy that 『Sengoku Collection 6』, the one I was personally watching most closely, has finally arrived♪
Also, 『L Pachislot Karakuri Circus 2』 arrives in August.
And since the next machine to be introduced is 『Smart Pachislot MONKEY TURN V』, personally, I’m absolutely in favor.
I’ve said this many times, but I will absolutely play 『L Sengoku Otome 5: Goka o Ugatsu Shukuen no Sojin』 for the first time at Jipang.
I’ve even brought headphones for the earphone jack, so seriously, please give me an early entry number!

So, when I drew my lottery number, it was 『No. 71』…
There goes my first play again (T_T)
As for my target this time,
・I personally thought 『Smart Pachislot Shin Onimusha 3』 would no longer be in its current spot, so I ruled out “machines ending in 1, 2, 3, or 5.”
Then, I figured I could probably secure one even with my number + I personally like it + it has a decent number of setting-estimation elements + ever since its introduction, there always seems to be at least one high-setting machine regardless of any special setup.

Starting with 『Pachislot Hyper Rush』!
I also want to complete the songs that only play when you earn three SIDE-B stocks (・∀・)


It’s an AT machine with a normal-type feel, but I love that feeling when a winning pattern appears and you know the bonus is in!
I’m an old guy who started back in the 4th-generation era, so this moment is irresistible.


The music from Wild Wolf, aka Okami Retsuden, is great too!
※There are also tracks triggered by a hidden command: select a certain song with the up/down keys, then press the push button 11 times before confirming it.
My recommendation is “Megamax R” ⇒ “Akane Is God”(´▽`)
A lot is happening here, but “a winning pattern on the final 1G of SIDE-B,” “the upper-right navigation supports replay or watermelon,” and “the reel pattern is diagonal cherries”—it’s total information overload.


One of the best parts of a medal machine is transferring your medals into a box, right?
A center-line cherry showed up too, so I was on a roll!

To anyone who thought that sounded great…
Here is the number of medals I cashed out (;´Д`)
I had been hitting a fair number of the setting-dependent flags.
The reason I kept at it for so long was that I always observe the overall situation whenever I go to the restroom or buy a drink…
・Among the machines ending in 0, 『New Getta Mouse』, 『Kaidoushiki Yuugiki Granbelm』, and 『L Pachislot Senran Kagura 2 SHINOVI MASTER』 were exploding.
I actually place quite a bit of importance on the variety machines in the basement. There’s a chance they put settings into machines you’d think no hall would touch nowadays, so I narrow things down with that in mind.
・『Iza! Bancho』 and 『Smart Pachislot Thunder V』 were also putting out huge medal totals, so machines ending in 5 were starting to interest me too.
The reason I quit was…
・The <players I consider skilled> who were on machines ending in 0 gradually started quitting, making me think, “Ah… maybe this isn’t it.”
Meanwhile, the people playing machines ending in 1 were sticking with them forever even without any medal output.
At that point, the answer is obvious, right?
It seems they had completely seen through my prediction.
I think Ougon Tarou may start advocating the 『Fist of the North Star: Toki Theory』.

My final attack is machine No. 1, 『Smart Pachislot Tower of Druaga』 (`・ω・´)ゞ
It may be hard to see my medals, but after only 22 medals of output for the day, I finally hit a BIG!

Then, during the Druaga Challenge, Quox appeared for the first time ever for me!
I played it out full of excitement, thinking, “This is going to last until closing time.” ( ̄ー ̄)


And the result: the extra game count ended at 30 games.
Why?
Lately I’ve started thinking, “Why does the world around me hate me so much?” (`;ω;´)
Now for the final Jipang medal-output check, recorded through my tears!

Druaga finished in the positive—a great result!
I want to sit at machine No. 1 during HAZUSE TUREUCHI too!


Thunder and Hyper Rush did well too.
The behavior of machine No. 31 was insanely good, which was useful information.


The Juggler series seemed to have some clear winners and losers (・_・;)
Mr.JUGGLER looked fun…


Tokyo Ghoul reached 7000 medals but couldn’t be fully played out!
Congratulations on achieving Super Golden Legend with GOD EATER!


Kabaneri Kaimon also had an excellent result!

Kitaoji’s recommendation was no joke.
We also received a photo of Biba, and a KIRIN-pattern trophy was reported as well m(_ _)m


Otome 5 didn’t seem to fully stretch its legs compared with last time.
I think Ghost in the Shell had a solid result!

Otome 4 is reaching incomprehensible territory.
With four machines installed, a Super Golden Legend plus two Golden Legends—does that even happen nowadays?
The expectations are sky-high, so they fill up insanely fast first thing in the morning (;・∀・)


Super Golden Legend also appeared on Magia Record, which my close ally and I both love!
Even when we grab high settings, we’re struggling for dear life, so how do people make this happen?
Iza! Bancho also went huge!


Miligod also reached 6000 medals and achieved Golden Legend!


Monster Hunter and Fire Force 2 both produced 4000 medals♪


Kaguya-sama achieved Golden Legend!
Valvrave 2 also had a 4000-medal result!

SBJ probably didn’t deliver the result, but I respect the player for sticking with it all the way.


Checking the basement, Eureka ART produced 2000 medals.
Bofuri seemed unable to finish the job, but Kagura’s 6000 medals were amazing.
When I play it, even getting 1000 medals is a desperate struggle (^_^;)


Smart Pachislot Thunder produced 4000 medals.
Getta Mouse finished at 3000 medals!


On the outer row, Granbelm produced 6000 medals.
Smart Pachislot Fire Force had 4000 medals, and Karakuri Circus had 3000 medals.



Symphogear produced 7000 medals.
To LOVE-Ru had 4000 medals & 3000 medals, while Zombieland Saga and Lupin were side by side at 4000 medals.

Here are the day’s rankings!
It’s wild that the machines achieving Super Golden Legend aren’t even the newest machines (;・∀・)
There’s some kind of setup + a battle of wits to read it correctly.
Decoys are scattered all over the place, and there are plenty of strong machines outside the main target too.
Well, that’s exactly why I get confused…
The next HAZUSE TUREUCHI is on the first Saturday of August!
I’ll be heading there with my headphones again!
Here are the current overall results!
【2026 Overall Record】
Total investment: 24196 medals
Total recovery: 16305 medals
Total balance: -7891 medals
4 wins, 10 losses
Is this starting to get bad?
I should be landing good settings pretty often…
Also, I’ll be joining the Jipang staff as a volunteer at the annual festival held by “Shimada Ryoiku Center”.
Jipang has supported them for years and contributes to the local community in many ways.
This year’s volunteer date is September 26, which also happens to be my birthday.
They told me I could decline, but I’m going by my own choice (`・ω・´)ゞ
