  1. ## **Panzer Parade – *Megami* #294 2024-11**

    [This month’s art](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/w7w6cdvzopy.jpg) features, from left to right, [Oshida](https://breezewiki.com/gup/wiki/Oshida), [Andou](https://breezewiki.com/gup/wiki/Andou), and [Marie](https://breezewiki.com/gup/wiki/Marie) of [BC Freedom Academy](https://breezewiki.com/gup/wiki/BC_Freedom_Academy). BC Freedom didn’t appear in the TV series, first appearing in *das Finale* Parts 1 and 2, in which Ooarai is matched against them in the first round of the tournament.

    BC Freedom is themed after France. Marie, Oshida, and Andou are more or less the only members of any real note, being the commander and vice-commanders, respectively. Marie, channelling a caricature of Marie Antoinette, is usually aloof and eating cake or pastries even in the middle of battle, but ultimately does care for and lead her team. Oshida represents the affluent and pompous “Escalator” student faction, who got into the school through influence and connections. Andou represents the rebellious and working-class “Examination” faction, who got in on grades and hard work. Mimicking the conflict between the 2nd and 3rd estates (nobility and commoners) of pre-revolutionary France, each faction hates the other and their infighting is a common theme. Andou and Oshida are fiercely passionate personal rivals.

    Character | Total Appearances
    —|—
    Marie | 7
    Andou | 6
    Oshida | 6

    Andou and Oshida invariably appear together in *Megami Magazine*, either with Marie or alone. The [range](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/myd5c8mm6d4.jpg) of their [emotions](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/wye3c9g82a4.jpg) represented drives home their [passionate](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/345xcr8q3j7.jpg) relationship.

  2. So when does this magazine drop? It feels like these posts just drop randomly in the month. Is it always the 8th or does this magazine just drop somewhere random in the month?

  3. Naori from Futakire looks great [in that black wedding dress](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/my8xcor9ar4.jpg). I suppose that it’s a testament to her more devilish traits in comparison with her sister, who’s wearing all white.

    Yuki from Mayopan definitely [[slightly NSFW] could’ve been a model with those looks](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/w7w6cd8p2ay.jpg). She got the right poses already down. Her character has certainly gotten quite a bit of love in the fashion department, considering [Yuki’s Look Book (short anime)](https://youtu.be/uhvvy5PVaNw?si=2167wFA134tFSRwC).
