And here we have Akane's BBDW expressions! As I mentioned in his Card Art post, for some odd reason his sprites cut off the edges of his coat.

In order, the expressions are labeled “01normal, 02joy, 03mad, 04sad, 05happy, 06angryroar, 07arch_smile” in the files.

Below you'll find his expressions for his Academy Uniform and his other costume!

I'm still a little salty that we know so little about Professor Emma. If she would have made it into BBDW... Ahem.

One of the things that stumps me the most is the Estella vs Emma thing. The translation uses the word "alias" for her Emma moniker, and it's the only name any of the other characters ever use.

So the question is- is "Emma" a nickname used by her students, a sort of portmanteau of "Estella" and "McKenzie," or is it a genuine alias? Is her real name kept from the students and faculty as part of her collaboration with Kagura's rebellion, or am I totally overthinking that?

While BBDW was running, I was always super excited to see characters we never saw much of in the main series. On of the most interesting and surprising characters we got to see was Akane Teruhiko, making his debut as a 3⭐ character available from the start of the game!

His sprites in the files are a little odd to me. His third art in particular. As you can see, the Card Art cuts off the right edge of his coat, but keeps the full edge on the left- but his talksprite doesn't. It cuts him off even earlier! He's the first character I've seen that cuts off like that. Most others keep the full image and just... take up a lot of space. You can see what I mean with Sechs' assets- even though his character Card Art cuts off the edge of his sprite, his talksprite keeps the full image. Why does Akane's instead seem to remove part of his artwork??? Seems rude.
