~ The Planet of Titans; White and Black, where the two powers clash. ~
Planet Harukotan where Titans Dwell
Planet Harukotan has a Japanese-style atmosphere, with cherry trees and butteflies fluttering around. Its split up into two major inhabitants, the "White Harukotans" (4m tall) and "Black Harukotans" (8m tall, the tallest pictured above).

New Field
In this new field, the Black Harukotans are invading White territory. You'll team up with the White Harukotans in eradicating this threat. Ascend the rooftops and aim at the Black Harukotan's weakpoint.
Anja Duriri
Titans aren't the only enemies you'll come across. There's also ghost-types like the "Anja Duriri." During the battle, a miasma envelops the field, increasing the Black Harukotan's power. The player can stop this by destroying some "lanterns" to purify the effect.
New Darkers and Boss
Dark Falz Double [Twins] controls Toy-like Darkers. Though they may seem cute at first, there appears to be a "grotesque" evil side that comes forth. This field will also introduce a Black "ice" Titan, 15 meters tall, known as Gigur Gunnegam.
