Big Bang Age:Character walkthrough/District chapter

Kongomaru Sanzou / 金剛丸三蔵
How to obtain: Defeat him in a deathmatch in the District Chapter without having recruited Hotta Daigo (堀田大吾). Choosing Sanzou at the end of the District Chapter will put you in Senna's route and make Idagawa Ren (韋駄川煉) unrecruitable. Note that to clear Sanzou, you also need to recruit Kakurai Jun and Nikaido Mitsuhiro during the Distrct Chapter.

Range: Short

Bond: Friend

Skill:
 * Iron Wall: 2 Stamina. Sets Evasion to 0, Hit to 999, and Attack to x1.5 of the target's while halving damage taken. Does not work against long-ranged attacks.

Character Checks:
 * Speak to him in the Conversation Phase.
 * Station him with Kongomaru Aya (金剛丸彩) for two start of turn events.
 * Station him with one of: Negishi Nanana (根岸ななな), Doumoto Mizuki (堂本瑞貴), or Morisawa Marine (森沢毬音) for a start of turn event. You need to have Kakurai Jun (加倉井潤) and Nikaido Mitsuhiro (二階堂光弘) in your team.
 * Station him with one of: Yamamoto Burai (山本無頼), Nakanishi Kendou (中西剣道), or Nakanishi Kyoudou (中西弓道) for a start of turn event. You need to have Kakurai Jun (加倉井潤) and Nikaido Mitsuhiro (二階堂光弘) in your team.
 * After participating in several battles, several start of turn events will trigger, with the last event being about an invitation to meet with a girl. On the turn the last event occurs, trigger the event "Sanzou's Promise" ("三蔵の約束") in Toukyou (闘京). This event is only available for one turn.

Other Notes:
 * Sanzou is unobtainable if you go into Tenrou Kunagi's (天楼久那妓) route and recruit Idagawa Ren.
 * Sanzou is needed to clear Francine and Mori Sonken (blue) and is an option for clearing Naruse Yuuki.
 * His Iron Wall skill, similar to Youki's, is helpful in dealing with short- and mid-ranged enemies with high attack who would otherwise be dangerous to fight directly.
 * While having Sanzou in the team,you can recruit a generic pep squad unit by choosing the event Recruit:Sensouji Academy in Toukyou during the National Phase.

Kongomaru Aya / 金剛丸彩
How to obtain: During the District Chapter, she will be captured by bikers from Idagawa Ren's (韋駄川煉) faction. Quickly suppress Kanami (過浪区) and trigger the event "Rescue Kongomaru Aya" ("金剛丸彩を救出"). She will join the next turn. You have a limited time to save her, as Zanma Gou (斬真豪) will tell you at the beginning of the turn. Also she will not join you once you take over Okogawa and Idagawa Ren attacks Toukyou, even if you did her rescue event already.

Range: Medium

Bond: Normal

Skill:
 * Honor Student: Passive. Randomly increases the law value of the region she's stationed in.

Character Checks:
 * Speak to her 3 times in the Conversation Phase.
 * Start of turn event when you have less than 99 BP and her loyalty is at 90% or above. You will gain 300 BP. This event has incredibly low priority, so if you're trying to clear her, you might need to purposefully clear out other start of turn events to make space for this one.
 * Start of turn event. You must have Hotta Daigo (堀田大吾) in your team (might need to station her with Daigo).
 * Start of turn event when you have over 2000 BP and 0 debt.
 * Start of turn event when you have over 5000 BP and 0 debt.

Other Notes:
 * CG [6-4-4] is obtained when you rescue her.
 * If you plan on clearing her, recruit Daigo before challenging Sanzou (Senna route) or defeat Ren instead of challenging Sanzou (Kunagi route) so that Daigo will be in your party instead of Sanzou.
 * Kongomaru Aya is needed to clear Hotta Daigo and Kongomaru Sanzou and is an option for clearing Koumei Michiru.

Hotta Daigo / 堀田大悟
How to obtain: Capture in combat and persuade him two times. Persuade him a third time with Aya (金剛丸彩) in your party, then he will join.

You can't recruit him if Kongomaru Sanzou (金剛丸三蔵) is already in your team. Also, he will escape from prison if you reach the National Chapter without recruiting him.

Range: Short / Medium

Bond: Normal

Skills:
 * Prevail: Passive. Whenever his HP is below 10, both his ATK and HIT are increased by 1.5x.
 * Daigo Beam: 7 Stamina. Pre-emptive strike that has a 50% fixed hit chance. Deals 50% damage of the target's max HP.
 * See notes on how to obtain this attack.

Character Checks:
 * Speak to him 3 times in the Conversation Phase.
 * Station normal Daigo with Kongomaru Aya (金剛丸彩) in the same region. An event should auto-trigger on the next turn.
 * Station him in Sapporo (サッポロ) in the National Chapter and he will go missing. Station Zanma Gou ( 斬真豪) to make the event "Explore: Ice Cave (探索：氷穴)" appear. Trigger it and go down to the 6th floor of the dungeon. Daigo will then change to Devil Daigo for some time.(If you take too long he'll die)
 * Same as the second star. Station normal Daigo along with Kongomaru Aya (金剛丸彩) for a few turns and the event should auto-trigger.
 * After the 3rd star, Devil Daigo will turn back into the normal Daigo after about 20~ fights, regardless of victory or defeat. Special event battles and dungeon battles do not count.

Other Notes:
 * Station him in Sapporo (サッポロ) in the National Chapter and he will go missing. Station Zanma Gou ( 斬真豪) to make the event "探索：氷穴" appear. Trigger it and go down to the 6th floor of the dungeon. Daigo will then change to Devil Daigo in a beginning turn event though it doesn't necessarily have to be the next turn. He'll return to normal after about 20 over-ground battles.Once he return to normal he will lost Daigo Beam and never regain Prevail.This's hardly matter anyway because by that time his stats will be high enough for the rest of the game and Prevail is hard to utilize in batlle thus it's quite a useless skill.
 * As a note, if Daigo is in your team, you won't be able to recruit Mumei Masakari (無銘まさかり). Though if you manage to make Daigo go missing before turn 20 (the turn this guy appears), you can recruit him and then recover Daigo.
 * Hotta Daigo is needed for a character of Kongomaru Aya and indirect for Hiouguu Kaguya; the latter one requiring Daigo to be killed. 
 * If Daigo is in his devil form and you also have Hiouguu Kaguya in your team, he will be automatically killed in the beginning of the next turn.

Idagawa Ren / 韋駄川煉
How to obtain: After you suppress Okagawa (江怒川区) in the District Chapter, he will attack Toukyou (闘京). Defeat him in combat and he will be automatically captured. Persuade him twice to recruit him. If Senpuuji Kyouko (旋風寺京子) is in your team already, she will kill him before you can recruit him from prison for a star event. Note that defeating him when he attacks Toukyou means that you will enter Kunagi's route and Sanzou will be unrecruitable. Similarly, Ren cannot be recruited if you challenge Sanzou and enter Senna's route.
