The new characters are definitely welcome additions to the series: Tira is the aforementioned hottie; she wields a razor-edged hula hoop. Next comes Setsuka, who seems like a demure Japanese lady until you realize her parasol has a sword inside it. Then there's the scythe-wielding muscleman Zasalamel, who actually seems unbalanced. He's much faster than a character with his strength should be.
