* AbortedArc: The previous game was a mostly direct adaptation of the manga's "Black Dragon King" saga, which establishes a horned warrior was the one who sliced Cobra's arm and taught him the fear of death. The "Six Heroes" arc later reveals Crystal Bowie was that man the whole time. This game does not properly adapt that part of the manga despite blending several minor elements of it with those of the "Royal Sisters" saga and having Crystal Bowie as the final boss.
