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. Won't join you if Hotta Daigo (堀田大吾) is in your team already. Must chose either him or Idagawa Ren (韋駄川煉) in the end of district chapter.

Range: Short

Bond: Friend

Skill:
 * Iron Wall: 2 Stamina. Sets attack power to x1.5 of the target's and then halves the target's damage. Lowers Sanzou's evasion to 0 and Hit to 999. Only works on Short/Mid range enemies.

Character Checks:
 * Speak to him in the Companion Phase.
 * Station him along with Kongomaru Aya (金剛丸彩). An event should auto-trigger at the beginning of a turn. After that, station them together again and one more event should auto-trigger.
 * Station him along with any of the following girls: Negishi Nanana (根岸ななな) or Doumoto Mizuki (堂本瑞貴) or Morisawa Marine (森沢毬音). An event should auto-trigger but you must have Kakurai Jun (加倉井潤) and  Mitsuhiro Nikaido (二階堂光弘) in your team.

 * After participating in several battles, several start of turn events will trigger, the last event being about and invitation to meet with a girl. If the events stop triggering partway, you might need him to participate in a few more battles. On the turn the last event occurs, an event should become available in Toukyou (闘京) called "三蔵の約束" (Sanzou's Promise). Trigger this event for the star clear. Do note that this event only lasts for that one turn, so if you miss it it is gone forever.

Other Notes:
 * Kongomaru Sanzou is unobtainable if you go into Tenrou Kunagi (天楼久那妓) route.
 * Kongomaru Sanzou is needed for a character clear of Francine and Mori Sonken (blue) and can be optionally used for a character clear of Naruse Yuuki.
 * His Iron Wall skill makes him extremely useful, since he doesn't need any sort of training to make ideal use of it. It is an excellent method to dispatch otherwise extremely dangerous short/mid range enemies as Sanzou himself will remain largely untouched.

Kongomaru Aya / 金剛丸彩
How to obtain: During the District Chapter, she will suddenly be abducted by bikers from the Idagawa Ren (韋駄川煉) gang. Quickly suppress Kanami (過浪区) and trigger the event "金剛丸彩を救出".
