Live by the sword, die by the sword

Mighty No. 9 director Koji Imaeda and lead character designer Kimo Kimo have unveiled another boss character, Mighty No. 7, the sleek red sword-wielding robot.

Starting out as a bot with scissors on the back of his head, Kimo Kimo designed this character before any backstory was created.

"Beck's design had just gotten approved -- I was so happy! In my excitement, I went ahead and design a "brother" robot from him on my own. I wasn't even assigned to work on boss designs at this point!"

Later on, roles for the Mighty Nos were established and project lead Keiji Inafune specified what he wanted--"a sword-wielding robot that fans would really respond to" thus furthering Kimo Kimo's creation.

As a result, after different ideas, a final design was reached. Bruce Lee came to be an inspiration for the character, and Mighty No. 7 ended up with swords in each hand, and a yellow scarf to smooth it out.

Mighty No. 9 does not yet have a release date, but is schedule to be released on the 3DS, among other platforms.

Mighty No. 18806 here! This Might No. looks great awesome. I remember that he initially had swords that looked like the razor-swords from Attack on Titan. It looked cool, but this design is really nice :)
