We've known for about a month we were getting a SCSA D-Ark Ultimate, and we finally have all the details!
|
|
The Super CSA D-Ark version Takato Matsuda Ultimate includes the new D-Ark, along with 12 cards.
Blue Card and Super Evolution Plug-In S are the same cards that came with the other Super CSA D-Arks.
The mold looks to be the new larger mold we saw with the SCSA D-Arks, just tweaked to have the design of the Ultimate.

Various voices are included with a heavy amount of Takato and Guilmon as you'd expect
Like prior CSA Digivices, this includes character conversations.
Impmon, Beelzebumon, Beelzebumon: Blast Mode, & Grani also have some key moments with newly recorded audio.
All the main Tamers characters will also have audio on the D-Ark Ultimate including Ruki, Renamon, Jenrya, Terriermon, and Culumon on top of the ones mentioned above, with their original VAs.
Some asterisks to the voices:
Renamon's actress is retired, so all the Renamon lines are preexisting from other sources, not from the prior SCSA D-Arks.
Guilmon and Impmon have some pre-existing evolution audio used, except Megidramon.
Takato, Guilmon, and Culumon are mostly new recordings for this specific release.
A selection of TV size Tamers songs are also used in the D-Ark Ultimate:
The Biggest Dreamer
Slash
Evo
One Vision (Dukemon Matrix Evolution Version)
My Tomorrow
Days -Affection and Everyday Life
3 Primary Colors
Returning from the prior SCSA is the NFC reader for card slashing.
If you have prior SCSA Digimon Tamers releases, the cards from those will work on the new Ultimate.
In addition, in what appears to be a fun bonus, it looks like the cards included here will work on the prior SCSA D-Arks.
Plus, if you slash the Red Card from the Ultimate in the prior, a hidden voice and a long version of a song will be activated.

Slashing Super Evolution Plug-In S gets you evolution to Growmon.
Slashing the Blue Card gets you MegaloGrowmon.
Dukemon, Dukemon: Crimson Mode, and Megidramon can be evolved to with specific actions.
When a Digimon appears via evolution, new dialogue will be available.
You can also evolve without the specific cards using the 'Shining Evolution' feature, using the light from Culumon.
You can also search for details about 25 Digimon and get data about them.
There are various functions to tweak how the D-Ark Ultimate works.
Brightness and volume adjustment.
Turning off character voices when cards are slashed, and more.
A short video preview.
Pre-orders go up at Premium Bandai roughly 3 hours after this post for 15,400 yen. Pre-orders close April 24th and they ship in October.

And adding this since occasionally someone has bought a CSA without actually knowing what it is. This is not a V-Pet or an adventuring game Digivice. This is a very fancy prop/replica style item with audio/visual elements.
Fun to find out that not only are we getting the Ultimate, but it appears they always planned to have it.
Worth mentioning, every SCSA Digivice so far has shown up at Premium Bandai US, so it may be worth waiting a bit to see if this one shows up also.
A few extra bits...
Premium Bandai Japan is currently harder to access, so a bit extra for those who want to pre-order and not wait to see if there is an international release.
Some intermediaries will want not only want the urls of the items above, but may ask for the product name in Japanese as written on the page. Those names are given above, directly below the pre-order links.
If you want to be sure to nab something...
We've currently pared down the list of intermediaries we list due to some places closing and others becoming iffy in their communication, calling into question their reliability. If you have any stories, positive or negative, about any intermediaries, DM me with them so we can figure out who might be worth adding (or re-adding), since these aren't affiliate links or anything, simply suggested ways to make it easier for fans to nab stuff.
You'll want to contact an intermediary to get these items sent to you. WtW is not affiliated with any, but here are a selection of intermediaries that have worked well for various WtWers and their friends in the past:
From Japan
Rider Proxy
You'll want to provide your chosen intermediary with the link to the item. Just copy paste the link to the product pages for what you want and send them a message about it and they'll take care of it after they discuss pricing and their policies with you. The links embedded in the news article for the products are exactly what you'll need to send them.
Some of the intermediaries have a full storefront and may have the item listed, so you may want to check that first.
