Another new King Kizer

[serithseraki]

While viewing videos of the latest Robo-One I found that Naoki has made another King Kizer, skip ahead to 1:58 to see here. http://youtu.be/NR6tSdjEDng Now is it me or is he happy to see us, but seriously, what is he sporting between those tiny legs?

looks like a well hung actuator of some kind.

Is that a co2 cartridge? Aren't those potentially dangerous in a situation such as this? Furthermore, since I do not know much Japanese, was this just for show or did King Kizer take part in the fighting competition?

Is that a co2 cartridge?

Yes. It can only fire a few times. He loads the cartridge just before the bout begins.

Aren't those potentially dangerous in a situation such as this?

Not really. The volume is quite small. He's taken a lot of care with the design to make sure that it isn't exposed to any potential damage or failure.

Furthermore, since I do not know much Japanese, was this just for show or did King Kizer take part in the fighting competition?

This particular match was one of the early afternoon bouts and was part of the regular competition. Unfortunately King Kizer lost. Later in the day he came back for a demonstration match against Haruo - Amino-san's flying robot sphere. I'll post that video in a day or so when I get some free time.
