Battle of Unity - Round 4 "CHANCE" Leader Interview
Released ahead of the "CHANCE" CD drop, a short interview between Allen and Iori was released on September 17, 2025. Below you'll find the translation of this short interview!
Iori's Internal Monologue: What's this dude's problem? He's actin' like a nervous wreck.
Allen: [rustling paper] Ah, where'd that copy of the program guide go...!? Ah, crap...!!
Iori: Hey, hey, hold up, you doin' alright?
Allen: Ah...! Ah, here it is! I'm so sorry! Ah, well, anyway, um, the first question is, uh, "Prior to the interview, a photoshoot will be held for the faceoff. Once that concludes, please... be... seated"... huh??
Iori: Could that maybe be the schedule for this little press conference?
Allen: Ahgh, seriously, I'm so sorry... excuse me, maybe I just need a bit of water...! [chugging water]
Iori: [clearing his throat extremely loudly] ... well, well. Seems like you're spinnin' out a little bit since you're so involved in all of this, ain't ya'tsura?
Allen: [spluttering]
Iori: I for one would be a bit worried about the future if you kept on like this, wouldn't ya'tsura? If you're this nervous now, there's a good chance you'll just get on stage and pass right out, won't ya'tsura?
Allen: Huh? Eh, um... Suiseki-san?
Iori: Is there somethin' wrong with ya'tsura~?
Allen: It's just, uh, don't you think there's... something a little weird with how you're ending all your sentences...?
Iori: Is there somethin' weird about it, ya'tsura think? I'm just speakin' the way I always do, as ya'tsura know I do.
Allen: No way, no way, hold up! You definitely don't talk like that all the time! Ending everything with "yatsura" is totally out of pocket! Ahahahaha...! [laughing]
Iori: [laughing] I suppose it is, isn't it~! Well, you should'a said something earlier! The whole dang interview was about to be just a nonstop bunch of that nonsense~
Allen: Sorry, sorry! I was just wondering if maybe I misheard you or something... But what's going on? Why are you suddenly speaking all strangely?
Iori: Hey, now, what's that supposed to mean? Maybe you were just so much of a nervous wreck that you're just losing your marbles a bit?
Allen: Ah, wait, maybe! Sorry! But, I will admit, now I feel like I've been able to loosen up a bit thanks to that!
Iori: Well, all's well that ends well. But let's get a bit more serious from here on out, shall we?
Allen: Yes! So, with that, let me pull myself together and we'll move on to the questions! "This will be the second battle between BAE and Akan Yatsura. What changes have there been to your mindset since last time?"
[text on screen: THEME: How your mindset has changed since last time]
Iori: We haven't changed a bit. 'Course, I mean that in a good way.
BAE: We haven't, either. We're just going all-out this time again, too.
Iori: So we're both exactly the same as we were back then... nah, that ain't right. Our vibes are even more pumped up than now than they used to be.
Allen: Right!
Iori: Great, great. This is gonna be a real impressive battle, then!
Allen: No doubt about it! Then, let's move on to the next question, shall we? Suiseki-san, can I ask you to do it, please?
Iori: Gotcha. "This next round will be the final one in Battle of Unity; how are you feeling about the match?", huh?
[text on screen: THEME: Thoughts on the final match]
Iori: Well, last time, for one reason or another, BAE got the upper hand on us. So we're reaaal fired up, and so are our sixth men, y'know.
Allen: We're fired up, too! We've been watching the battles and also keeping an eye on Akan Yatsura's development.
Iori: Oh, how nice of 'ya. Guess we'll make this quick, then. The current Akan Yatsura are real scary, so we ain't gonna show off a lame side of us to our sixth men now.
Allen: Yes! We're definitely ready to face a tough opponent, and we're going to take you on with a BAE that's better than ever before.
[text on screen: a BAE that's better than ever before]
Iori: Well, we've been sharpening our skills and our fangs alike, so we're gonna live up to our team name and get a bit of revenge. cozmez, AMPRULE, and VISTY-- all of their feelings, and all of their heads' sentiments, we're gonna go into this fight carryin' them with us.
[text on screen: Revengers' friends' and heads' sentiments]
Allen: This is where the team competiton comes to a head. We'll be performing the best song we can, that we can be proud of, to close out the Avengers' run.
Iori: I swear on both the names of Akan Yatsura and the Revengers that we're not goin' down without a fight.
Allen: Hey, that's my line.
Iori: I'm looking forward to seeing who can get the crowd goin' more.
Allen: Yes! Let's make this a battle that goes down in history.
Iori: Well then, that's that, isn't it? Avengers heads and Revengers heads alike, show up with all the support you got!
Allen: To all the heads watching this now, we'll see you again at the venue! Peace out!!
