Danzaburou: A Closer Look

By: TitanAjax | 2020/11/17
WHO IS DANZABUROU?


Surely everyone has heard of the mighty bake-danuki! These powerful tricksters are so much more than your standard Tanuki. The legendary racoon-dogs of Japan are an ancient race, and Danzaburou is their leader. He can transform into anything to meet his needs, he can wheel and deal with the greatest entrepreneurs, and he can, of course, have a heck of a lot of fun.
OUR VISION


Danzaburou is the cute god in a dark year. As Cthulhu’s hold on the world grows tighter, this is when we need some comedic relief the most.


Danzaburou
  • Theme – A Trickster – He will confuse you, misdirect you, possibly even cheat you
  • Visuals – A Fun Creature – Danzaburou is one high profile critter adorned with accessories
  • Personality – A Real Wise Guy – Smart, but snarky, and mischievous, and will readily taunt you
  • Perspective – Who? – The other gods are utterly confused by him.
Danzaburou is best known for painting leaves to look like they were gold, and selling them off to unsuspecting passersby. He is also known for transforming into an entire parade procession entirely on his own. In SMITE he will be duping other gods with his leafy goodness, as well as using his transforming skills to cause quite a spectacle.

Danzaburou arrives at one of the darkest times in the SMITE timeline, and he brings a message of peace and acceptance. Although he is known for swindling others, he has many admirable traits too. This Robin Hood-like hero is always willing to help out those in need with some of his spare coin, or with a relaxing drink from his sake bottle.

The Tanuki will confront Tsukuyomi head on, without fear. Danzaburou will deliver an important message to the proud moon assassin: that his entire quest and existence is pointless. Cthulhu is going to win, it does not matter how strong Tsukuyomi is, and Danzaburou is here to ease the pain of this harsh reality, first for Tsukuyomi, then for the rest of us.



With Danzaburou comes all the notable features of a Tanuki. They’re a little bit pudgy, but still agile. They are fuzzy creatures, but they can walk upright like humans and speak normally.

We wanted to make sure Danzaburou was equipped with a variety of interesting armor, weapons, and magical items. His clothing is reminiscent of a merchant or wanderer of ancient Japan including the signature hat. He is equipped with a gunpowder rocket launcher based on the historical Bo-Hiya. This provides our raccoon-dog friend with a unique weapon among SMITE’s hunters. Danzaburou is no weapons expert though, as his explosions are treated more like fireworks than firepower and always reveal themselves to be packed full of his magical transforming leaves.

Danzaburou also has many symbolic elements on his person. He has his money pouch and his sake bottle carefully dangling from his belt. One change to his sandals occurred through the modeling, rigging, and animation process. We originally wanted higher blocked sandals, but when combined with his creature legs that have extra joints this created a lot of concerns both technically and artistically. So his sandals were flattened to give us more control over his animset, this can be seen in the card art below and in his in-game assets.



Danzaburou is a hunter, and functions best in the Duo Lane, possibly flexing into Mid Lane. He has strong early game wave clear and lane control, but his kit certainly becomes harder to use (yet more surprising!) in later game jungle fights. The Tanuki’s basic attacks are more traditional, with his diversity among the Hunter class coming from a series of unique abilities.


Unique Gameplay Features
  • A deployable focused kit on a hunter – creating multiple persistent objects and areas with various effects
  • A unique type of misdirection that functions as a form of stealth
  • Alternate ways to earn gold – through skillshot pickups and investments
  • Can fire multiple ricocheting projectiles at once
  • No dash or leap on his first 3 abilities, and no attack speed stim
  • An Ultimate where Danzaburou can fire a projectile or actually become it and control it as it travels
  • Features a native speaker currently living in Japan as his voice actor
So please, sit down, relax, have a drink, play a game, and watch the world end with us. Cthulhu’s madness has less effect on those who have accepted their fate, and Danzaburou is here to show you the way!

Marvel battle pass would be awesome. Thor gets a legit thor skin... Thor skin sounds dirty in my head.

Rocket Racoon obviously for Danza
Zeus Captain America skin
Loki gets the cool warlord Loki costume from the first movie
Apollo gets Starlord Skin
Merlin better get a Doctor Strange skin
Heim gets a cool Heim skin

The possibilities are endless. But so would that licensing cost so probably won't ever happen.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
