History Manga / FlowerKnightDakini

A year later in Enoth, Eiden is struggling to get by, both in his art and in general. After getting lost, he encounters a strange girl looking up at the sky that takes notice of his art. Later, while trying to figure out what to do next, he's the first to notice that the Sky Golems are approaching. Frozen in his tracks, he mentally curses the Golems as they're about to fire their Straight Thunders, but the girl from earlier leaps into the air and reflects the shot with her sword. Her name is Dakini, and her mission is to destroy all of the Golems and their leader. This is the story of her travels with Eiden.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: While at Karacuma, Eiden notices Dakini looking out over the town and is reminded of when she was staring up at the sky in Enoth, waiting for the Sky Golems. When he calls out to her, she responds, making him relieved that there's not going to be a Sky Golem attack anytime soon. [[spoiler: At the end of the chapter, Golems do attack, just not ''Sky'' Golems.]]

* HopeSpot: During the attack on Karacuma, it seems like the evacuation of the city is going to be a success, [[spoiler: then the Golem destroys all the buses people were supposed to board.]]

* {{Raiju}}: Thunder Beasts play an important role in the story as they are created specifically to destroy the Golems threatening the world. They do not possess any electricity-related powers, instead the main weapons of their enemies are destructive lasers called Straight Thunders or Mjolnirs.

* WhamEpisode: Chapter 8. [[spoiler: Not only is the truth about Eiden's mental block revealed, but Dakini's combat mode allows sections of Karacuma to be destroyed to focus on the fight with Karura, the Humanoid Golem, and another Golem appears to taunt her.]]

''Flower Knight Dakini'' (花の騎士ダキニ ''Hana no Kishi Dakini'') is a manga created by Sho Shibamoto and the final part of his [[TheVerse Verse]], with Manga/TheJackalope and Manga/PandemoniumWizardVillage taking place before it.

[[DiabolusExMachina Then the Sky Golems attacked.]]

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After two mangas worth of causing mass destruction, death, and tragedy, the Sky Golems and whoever controls them finally have a way to be stopped.

** Chapter 9 as well. [[spoiler: The Mirror Man drops the bomb that not only was he fond of Karacuma, but it wouldn't have been attacked if Dakini hadn't arrived. [[PandemoniumWizardVillage Crain]] also makes a reappearance and two Thunder Beasts saw the fight from afar, one of whom is fixated on stealing Dakini's sword to prove that she isn't a failure to her creator.]]

* LostInTranslation: Variants now being called Rare Ones may seem like a strange switch in terminology, but it's an important distinction that loses its meaning in other languages. ''Igyō'' (Variant) literally means something with an abnormal appearance, and is used to describe something that looks strange or grotesque. ''Marebito'' (Rare One) refers to benevolent supernatural beings said to bring gifts of knowledge from afar. This helps reflect the change in status these people have gained.

** The Knights Eiden talks about before setting up the TitleDrop seem to have been the InUniverse inspiration for [[Manga/TheJackalope Supernyan, Foxy Lady, and Riderwan.]]
** Prakasha's presentation on Thunder Beasts shows examples of Rare Ones, including jackalopes, pygmies, giants, and nine-tailed foxes, which had previously been seen with [[Manga/TheJackalope Jacka]] [[spoiler: (And Uisce)]], [[Manga/PandemoniumWizardVillage Brow, Cosith, and Kayoh]] respectively.
** [[Manga/TheJackalope Polar Ice]] has branched out into additional towns, still sells [[CordonBleughChef bizarre flavors]], and even has their own MegaMealChallenge.
** One of Prakasha's books is the same kind of 'Mjolnir' book Algernon studied.
** In Chapter 6, Dakini finds an artbook made by [[Manga/PandemoniumWizardVillage Crain]] at some point.

* WhamEpisode: Chapter 8. [[spoiler: Not only is the truth about Eiden's mental block revealed, but Dakini accidentally destroys sections of Karacuma during the fight with Karura, the Humanoid Golem, and another Golem appears to taunt her.]]

** While fleeing from the fight with the red panda siblings, Kayoh can still see what's happening, and simply affirms it when asked. [[spoiler: Then in the last panel, there's a close-up shot of her eye, which has the same design as the Thunder Beasts' eyes.]]

** Chapter 9 as well. [[spoiler: Not only does the Mirror Man drop the bomb that not only was he fond of Karacuma, but it wouldn't have been attacked if Dakini hadn't arrived. [[PandemoniumWizardVillage Crain]] also makes a reappearance and two new Thunder Beasts saw the fight from afar, one of whom is fixated on stealing Dakini's sword.]]
