      Hey everyone, check out this drawing that a user named Ulysses Wolvesson made over at Amino!

      !
      ! Very impressive, ain't it!? The name of the technique is Mille Fleurs, Shigan Kanzeon (at least that's what he/she calls it). I have ended up liking it so much that I decided to add it to my Rokushiki Robin document (under a slightly different name with "Cien Fleur" instead of "Mil Fleur") while giving him proper credit! Oh and don't worry, he gave me permission to do so while I was telling him how much I liked it. 😉

          I’m back again with some more old unreleased rough sketches from my Rokushiki Robin project that I’ve never posted online until now, only this time with two concept sketches instead of one.

          !
          ! The first one revolves around two Robin clones (via Cuerpo Fleur) using the Rante (Storm Hand) to cut off the target’s head simultaneously after blooming out of the ceiling above him. Why I didn’t post this online is mainly because I wanted to further complete this sketch one day due to how unfinished it looks.

          !
          ! The second sketch shows both the normal and the Haki enhanced versions of Tetsuhana “Kinsenjun (Iron Flower "Marigold Shield”). The reason why I didn’t post this online was due to not being satisfied with it since I want to do more with it to better illustrate the difference between the two versions.

              UPDATE 9/18/18:

              Okay guys, here's the complete version of Robin using a Armament Haki-enhanced version of Tetsuhana "Kinsenjun" (Iron Flower "Marigold Shield"), drawn by Jeyrablue!

              !

              Which she has drawn using my seven-year-old sketch of the technique as reference:

                Btw, I also want to announce that my friend Akkym and I have resumed work on the 6th page of the "Robin: The Rokushiki demon" fan manga so be on the look out for that!

                  UPDATE 9/27/18:

                  Two new technqiues have been added to the Shigan section, both being heavily based on an attack used by Cammy White from the Street fighter series! Originally I wasn't going to add them until later down the line to include them in a much bigger update but thanks to another case "Screw it", I've decided to add them anyway. XD

                  • Geppu Ashigan "Rasen Aro/Kajōya" (Moonblast Leg gun: Spiral Arrow)(OB)(C)(H)(M)(N) - Using Kaika Geppo with the legs sprouted out of upper body, she rockets herself towards her target like a cannon with her actual legs out ahead of her first while spinning in a drill motion. Pretty much almost just like Street fighter's Cammy's version of the attack only with Geppo being used here for a much more deadlier effect.
                  • Geppu Ashigan "Shin Rasen Aro/Kajōya" (True Spiral Arrow) (OB)(C)(H)(M)(N) - Same as Kajōya, only instead of just using her actual legs to attack, she sprouts a group of legs around them in order to create a more powerful drill-like attack.

                        Made a new version of Triple Shigan, along with a 3D version of Tetsuhana "Kinsenjun" (Iron Flower "Marigold Shield"). I wanted to do a more dramatic pose with the later but this will do for now. 🙂

                          Okay guys, need an opinion real quick. Which one of these do you think is better?

                          Or

                          I reason I ask is becuase I spent most of the weekend trying learn how to edit models in Blender just so I can use the extra arms as completely separate models in order to make hana hana-enhanced technqiues more authentic.

                            Without the clothes, to be more accurate.
                            Otherwise, good work!

                            The golden one claims a vacant throne. The crown of light will bring only darkness.

                              In celebration of Robin's birthday, I'm just gonna go ahead and share some more 3d Rokushiki Robin pics that include shot angles of a remade Multi-Shigan pose and updated pics of Robin using a Multi-amed Rokuogan, the later being still a little bit incomplete due to a couple of things I wasn't able to add due to time constraints such as the arms holding Blackbeard down. I'll probably add that in an update later today.

                              !

                              !
                              !

                              And before you ask, yes, I'm aware that the shoulders of the sprouted arms look a little off. I'm hoping to fix that once I get much better at editing models in Blender which I'm now getting the hang of.

                                Update 3/23/19:

                                After a long while, I’m back to this project with a small new update. Now that the Shidan technique is pretty much canon albeit as simply Tobu Shigan (however, I'm still gonna call it Shidan here since it makes it easier for me to differentiate this from the "flickering" version of Tobu shigan), mainly because that it's highly likely that this very shigan that was used by Stussy back in the WCI arc utilizes the nearly forgotten-about invisible ranged force form of Busoshoku Haki which, as of OP chapter 937, has been revealed to actually been a more advanced form. Because of this, I went and made a small change to the description of the technique to accurately match how the technique is performed in the canon itself.

                                • Shidan (指弾, Finger shot) (HO)(N)(M)(T)(OA)(C) - This technique is an evolved form of Shigan with Busōshoku Haki capabilities. To use this technique, the user must concentrate his/her Busōshoku Haki around his/her finger(s) and firing it through said finger(s) like a real gun. This will result in launching a completely invisible shockwave bullet towards the enemy as if she/he was shooting an actual bullet. How far the bullet will travel depends on the strength of the user. It also should be noted that just like any other attack that utilized with Busoshoku Haki, it can even bypass whatever defenses the enemy’s DF provides, striking the substantial body. The user can also incorporate the aspects of this technique into his/her other Shigan techniques as well.

                                Not only that, I added three new techniques to go along with this, two of them being more evolved forms of older sub-styles from the past, and one that utilizes aspects of Shin Ouren:

                                • Shidan Kenpo, a.k.a Neo Tobu Shigan kenpo (Finger Shot syle, a.k.a New Flying finger bullet style)(N)(HO)(M)(C)(OA) - An evolved form of the Tobu Shigan kenpo style where instead of the old “flicker” variant of Tobu shigan, the user uses the more advanced Shidan version in this Gunkata/Gun fu-based style!
                                • Kaika Shidan Kenpo, a.k.a Neo Kaika Tobu Shigan kenpo (Blooming Finger shot style, a.k.a New Blooming flying finger bullet style)(N)(HO)(M)(OB)(OA)(C) - A more evolved version of the Kaika Tobu Shigan Kenpo style that involves using the more advanced version of Tobu Shigan, Shidan, in conjunction with the Hana Hana no mi’s hand sprouting abilities!
                                • Kaika Shidan “Lotus Shotgun” (OB)(C)(HO)(M)(N) - A more powerful version of Shidan. It starts off with the user sprouting fingers out of two of her/his original fingers in the same way he/she did with the Shin Ouren technique, down to the exact same lotus flower-like pattern. However, rather than strike the target with the flower-like hand up close, the user insteads shoots a shockwave bullet out of the fingers of the hand from a distance. Due to the amount of fingers used in this technique, the shockwave bullet is much more powerful than a normal Shidan.

                                    Check out these awesome Rokushiki Robin sketch commissions that this fantastic artist named Bordin Marsinkul of Hyper Booster made for me at Kamehacon, a dragonball convention that was super fun imo! 😉

                                    Edit: Just to clear things up in order to avoid confusion, I must point out that the techniques she is using with her powers in these sketches are Shigan (with haki) and Rankyaku respectively.

                                      Finally got around to finishing a 3D compilation pic of Robin using a hana hana-enhanced Rokuougan on Blackbeard! However, I went and used a different model of Robin just so that sprouted arms on her wouldn't look too off.

                                          Okay everyone, after two years, here's a new preview of page 6 of the "Robin: The Rokushiki Demon" fan manga/Doujin by my friend Akkym! Sorry for the long wait….again. Lol

                                          !

                                          As you all can see, it's currently in the lineart stage so hopefully it'll be ready some time this month. And before anyone asks, yes, Robin is using Haki in this page. You'll all see it in the complete version. 😉

                                                    UPDATE 9/4/19:

                                                    9 new techniques have been added to the Misc/Other section, along with 3 new techniques in Soru section with 1 already existing technique finally given a name!

                                                    First, here are the three techniques for the Soru section and the finally named one. They are all techniques for the Ballet der Wirrwasser (Confusing Stream ballet in German) style. For those who want to know what style is, here's the description:

                                                    Ballet der Wirrwasser (Confusing Stream ballet in German)(N)(OB) - A moving technique that revolves around using aspects of Soru, Geppo, Kaika Geppo, Kaika Soru: Heki, & Kami-e: Gen where Robin moves around silently while at the same time moving fluidly like water, rapidly alternating between fast and slow movements and confusing her opponents due to the fluid motion and continuously changing speed, all while using aspects of Kaika Geppo and Heki to make herself look like she's hovering throughout the technique.

                                                    Anyway, while I did come up with some techniques for this sub-style, I didn't bother to add them because I want to give them Russian names in order to have them fit the elegant theme of the sub-style but since I don't know Russian, I went and held off until I was able to find someone who DOES know Russian and thanks to an awesome person (who's username that I don't remember but I know him/her from OP amino), I finally was able to give 3 of these techniques Russian names!

                                                    • Спиральный Цветочный Штормовой Меч танец (Spiral Flower Storm Sword Dance in Russian)(N)(H)(OB)(C) - One of the few follow up attacks after Ballet der Wirrwasser. Robin simply spins around once like a ballerina at an instantaneous speed while cutting the enemy with three legs (two sprouted and one real or only three sprouted) via Kaika Rankyaku.
                                                    • Смертени рукои танец (Lethal Hand Dance in Russian)(SK)(N)(H)(OB)(C) - One of the few follow up attacks after Ballet der Wirrwasser. Robin simply slashes at her opponent from various points with either Rante or her claws via Rantsume (using her fingernails that she sharpened using Seimei Kikan) while still moving around the target in a dance like motion.
                                                    • (??? in Russian)(N)(H)(OB)(C) - Robin basically flip kicks upward while cutting the target with Rankyaku.
                                                    • Торнадо волос Танец (Tornado Hair Dance in Russian)(SK)(N)(H)(OB)(C) - One of the few follow up attacks after Ballet der Wirrwasser. Robin, right after quickly extending her hair by blooming more with her powers and braid it up with Seimei Kikan while she herself is still moving, spins towards her target with her hair outward striking her enemy as if she were a spinning top.

                                                    Now here are the nine new techniques for the Misc/Other section, all which are more techniques that utilizes the Cabello Fleur "Seimei kikan" (Hair Flower “life return”) technique.

                                                    • Ketou (Hair sword) (OB)(C)(HO)(SK)(M)(N) - In this bizarre technique, Robin blooms out a long line of hair out of her hand and shapes it into a sword, then hardens it with Haki! Much safer to use than Tsuru-tou. She can also multiply this technique with both of her original hands (making it a dual set) or/and even her sprouted arms, with each arm wielding a hair sword.

                                                      • Cho Ketou (Great hair sword) (OB)(C)(HO)(SK)(M)(N) - A much stronger and sturdier version of Hair sword that is also a combined version of Tsuru-tou and Ketou that utilizes sprouted replicas of both hair AND limbs (the arms and hands specifically) with the hair being the cover of the sword and limbs being the support. She can also multiply this technique with both of her original hands (making it a dual set) or/and even her sprouted arms, with each arm wielding a hair sword.

                                                        • Sasubana (Sting Flower) (OB)(C)(HO)(SK)(M)(N) - A dashing thrust where Robin first goes into a pose by dropping into a partial crouch, both knees bent, left arm drawn back and right arm extended forward, then uses Soru (or Senkou) to charge at her target at blinding superhuman speed as she thrusts her hair sword forward with the same thrusting speed and power as Shigan! She can also use both Soru and Geppo to do an aerial version of this technique while in the air!
                                                        • Sensuibana (Diving Flower) (OB)(C)(HO)(SK)(M)(N) - A diving thrust where Robin, while in the air, uses Geppo (or an enhanced variant of Geppo) to burst forward down diagonally at her target with her hair sword head first.
                                                        • Jōshōbana (Rising flower) (OB)(C)(HO)(SK)(M)(N) - An anti-air style attack where she rises into the air with an upward arc slash.
                                                        • Zerobana (Zero Flower) (OB)(C)(HO)(SK)(M)(N) - A very powerful point blank version of Sasubana. Nuff said.
                                                    • Keyari (Hair lance) (OB)(C)(HO)(SK)(M)(N) - Another much stronger and sturdier version of Hair sword that is also a combined version of Tsuru-tou and hair sword that utilizes sprouted replicas of both hair AND limbs (the arms and hands specifically), only this time, instead of a sword, she has them take the shape of a strong lance.

                                                    • Ketate (Hair shield) (OB)(C)(HO)(SK)(M)(N) - In this bizarre technique, Robin blooms out a bunch of hair out of her hand and forearm and shapes it into circular pattern, becoming like a shield, then hardens it with Haki! Much safer to use than Kinsenjun. She can also multiply this technique with both of her original arms (or even create a larger one using both arms) or/and even her sprouted arms, with each arm wielding a hair shield.

                                                      • KyōdaiŌu (Mighty shield) (OB)(C)(HO)(SK)(M)(N) - This is a much stronger and sturdier version of Ketate that is also a combined version of Ketate and Kinsenjun that is a very useful technique that utilizes sprouted replicas of both hair AND limbs (the arms and hands specifically) with the hair being the cover of the shield and limbs being the support. It starts off with Robin first sprouting multiple arms out of one of her original arms in a circular pattern until they form a shield (Calendula), with hands blooming out of the sides of the arms horizontally and holding on to them as well as each other to keep the whole thing sturdy. Then, she blooms out much hair out of those very same arms and uses Seimei Kikan to have them wrap around the entire "Shield of limbs" in a way that makes it look like a sturdy shield and hardens the whole thing (both hair and limbs) with Busoshoku Haki: Koka, which all results in creating a powerful shield to defend against attacks with. She can even harden it further with Tekkai for extra support. She can also multiply this technique with both of her original arms (or even create a larger one using both arms) or/and even her sprouted arms, with each arm wielding a hair shield.

                                                    And that is all for now. Btw, as you all may have noticed, 4 of the above techniques (Sasubana, Sensuibana, Jōshōbana, and **_Zerobana)_** are all omages to Sajemi Saito, another character from Rorouni Kenshin which Oda was an assistant artist of in the past.

                                                      UPDATE 10/5/19:

                                                      Two more techniques added to the Soru section, both which are techniques that I came up with and wrote in the WIP doc back in 2016 but never added in the main doc due to hesitation. But now thanks to me gaining a bit of confidence along with getting a huge case of "Fuck it", I decided to grow a pair and add them anyway. Now on to the to techniques:

                                                      • No Soru (To not shave) (N)(M)(ONL) - A unique form of soru where Robin uses sprouted legs to execute Soru instead of her normal legs, allowing Robin to use the enhanced attributes that Soru grants (which includes the ability to not only move at vanishing speed but also to attack at greater speed and power) without the need of executing Soru the normal way to gain them, opening up a pathway to a whole set of new techniques as well as to move at vanishing speed more constantly and seamlessly without to "charge up" and "recharge" so to speak, which can lead to VERY strategic uses with this technique. There is quite a trick or two to this technique which includes sprouting the extra legs out of a proper sized object (one that has enough room to bloom fully grown legs out of) that is not in the enemy's sight in order to create the illusion that she can use soru without using the proper sequence to execute the technique as well as the illusion that she can naturally attack at speeds and power at "beyond superhuman levels" without executing some technique to do so. Now despite the benefits of this, there are some drawbacks, such as the increase being only lasting for a couple of seconds, along with the fact that this is merely a circumstantial technique that can only be done depending on the location, not to mention that this must be done with caution since overdoing this technique without giving herself some time to cool down in between successions can cause heart problems since the body only endure so much blood flow and metabolism boosts at such high rates.

                                                        • Gen'ei ken (Illusion fist) (N)(M)(ONL) - A fighting style that uses No Soru to attack and defend at greater speeds and power while standing in place, resulting in the user's attacks being so fast that it looks like the targets are being hit by afterimages of the appendages she/he is attacking with, thus the name of the style. This can be further enhanced with observation haki and the "hyperblooming" variation of the hana hana no mi to make it appear that the user is so godlike fast that he/she is like a super-psychic being that is almost untouchable.

                                                      And before any of you ask, yes, the name of the technique "No Soru" does sound shitty but it's a working title for now until I can come up with a better name. -_-

                                                      Currently thinking of one of these names:

                                                      • Diminuer (French for Shave)
                                                      • Kosui Soru (Japanese for Tricky Shave)
                                                      • Musei Soru (Japanese for Silent Shave)

                                                      Please comment to let me know which one you think is best. Anyway, here's a more in-depth explanation of how the two above techniques work. First off, like the Moth Orchid and Flower Umbrella, these technique are circumstantial ones for the following reasons, which are all requirements in order to use them, let alone use them successfully:

                                                      1. They require the user to completely memorize and be fully aware of the surroundings of the entire location he/she is in.This even includes areas of the location that he/she will not be able to see at the moment of the situation but still knows of them in order to sprout limbs at said areas.
                                                      2. They require using properly sized objects that have the right amount of space on its surface to allow the user to bloom fully grown legs out of it .
                                                      3. There must be said objects present at said areas at the time of the situation.
                                                      4. The said objects must be with in the user's "producing range" (as in if the user's blooming radius is as far as, for example, 2 miles at maximum, then those said objects must be somewhere within that 2 mile radius).

                                                      To help explain all this further, I even made a rough diagram sketch to at least show how the process for the Gen'ei ken (Illusion fist) is done:

                                                      !

                                                      Using the aspects of this technique with Kaika Soru "Heki" and Kaika Soru "Senkou" will eliminate the flower petal giveaway and the second long start up time respectively, along with making said techniques much safer and easier to use.

                                                      Now before I end this update, I will admit that all this sound very confusing at first but think about it. While the sprouted legs (full grown legs to be exact) may be doing the execution of the technique (which is kicking the ground 10 times in a blink of an eye , resulting in pumping up the body's metabolism and blood flow to high levels), the increased speed and power still gets transferred into the main body since we all know that anything that effects the bloomed replica of a limb effects the user (like an injury, enemy's devil fruit abilities that revolves around skin contact, etc.). So it's quite obvious that if said negative effects can effect the user that way, should it be the same for body enhancing effects as well? 🙂

                                                      Ok, here's an example:

                                                      Let's say a dirty boxer (who is a Hana Hana no mi user) is fighting in a match with his opponent and is fighting normally and fair at the moment, and he is losing. Then some time later, during a 1 minute break after the bell rang at the end of the let's say, 7th round, he sprouts a limb in his locker room where he has someone there on standby who injects a syringe of steroids into the arm which the effects then transfers into the boxer himself to make him stronger than ever before for the rest of the match, all while fooling people, including his opponent, into thinking that he was holding back for the first seven rounds and now is getting serious when in reality, he was beefed up with steroids during that very break.

                                                      Do you see where I'm getting at now? I hope you all do! 😉

                                                        After much consideration, I've chosen Dimineur as the new name for the No Soru technique due to how much it fits the theme of the Hana Hana no mi, plus it makes so much easier to differentiate it from Soru, at least for me anyway.

                                                          Finally hired a voice actress and had her voiced a bunch of techniques from my movelist document! I went ahead and updated my old Soru and Senkou video with two of the recordings and it came out pretty nice! ;

                                                          I still have a lot of other recordings that I plan to use in future videos and stuff so stay tuned!

                                                                Keep up the good work 😉 Hope to see at least one of these techniques in the original story.

                                                                @Randy1031:

                                                                Love all of the ideas related to this, and the voice actress you hired was pretty spot on for the video– especially that first Soru.

                                                                This is the Robin we all deserve.

                                                                Thank you both! It's been a while since I've seen anyone here comment on the project in this old thread. Glad you guys are loving the project itself which really means a lot to me! 😄

                                                                Btw, while the video was made by me, the animation in it was done by Darengedbones as a request for me many years ago. She used to be a member here a very long time ago.
