At a young age, Professor Rose was the Head Engineer in the Edelweiss’ Empirical Artificial Limb Research Lab. The main antagonist and final boss of Ibara. “Annihilate the Rose Garden with your ships!” The Negotiators found that these “ships” had been secretly readied, as if predicting they would have to stand up to a threat and had longed for this day to come, shone bright. As the situation became increasingly dire, the Emperor ordered his Special Imperial Attack Unit, The Negotiators, into battle. The Rose Garden’s power was horrific, but the Edelweiss forces pressed through the desperate battle. The people’s cries and the rising flames illuminate the fortress, as if it were a beautiful flower blossoming from the scorched earth. Under the Rose Garden Emblem, the nails of eerily laughing iron men destroyed buildings, the roars of planes covering the sky burn the Earth. Yes… then we’ll make the entire surface a lovely rose garden.” Teresa began her attack from their fortress, resembling a twisted and jagged mountain of knives. “Let’s destroy this filthy land and its people. However, dark clouds would soon rise up over Edelweiss’ horizon, as Professor Teresa Rose spoke to her 5 guardians with a fearless smile on her face. Because of their precision crafting, the Northern European country of Edelweiss has excelled in the mechanical industry, and was achieving tremendous amounts of growth. Ibara takes place in the 19th century, shortly after the development of the steam engine. All of these and more were present in both Battle Garegga and Ibara, for better or worse. Yagawa’s games tend be medal collectors, heavily rank-based difficulty system that gets harder the stronger the player is, employs an every-based extend system, a letter-based scoring system, destructible bosses, and are filled with scoring tricks and secrets. Ikeda’s games featured lots of bullets, fast movement, strict chain-scoring systems, unforgiving difficulty, and severe punishment for using bombs or dying. Yagawa has very different design philosophies and tastes than Ikeda when it comes to shoot-em-upa, and this is demonstrated in the games they made. What they really mean is that Ibara doesn’t feel like an Ikeda game, and for good reason. Many players say that Ibara doesn’t feel like a Cave game, but that’s not entirely correct.

Around that time, the main programmer of Raizing’s shoot-em-ups, Shinobu Yagawa, was approached by Tsuneki Ikeda of Cave, with a simple request. In October of 2000, Raizing, developer of such shoot-em-ups as Mahou Daisakusen , Battle Garegga, and Armed Police Batrider was merged into another company, 8ing (Eighting), and the shoot-em-up division was dissolved. Ikeda, then thought “If they have 60 bullets, our’s will have 100! We won’t lose to them in terms of bullets.” The arcade version of DoDonPachi ended up having a max of 245 bullets onscreen. Ikeda was floored at how fast they ramped up the difficulty, and could have 60 bullets on screen during certain boss phases. However, the reason why these games featured a ridiculous amount of bullets onscreen to utterly annihilate the player was due to Ikeda playing a game developed by Raizing in 1996 called Battle Garegga. Tsuneki Ikeda is known for defining the bullet hell shmup genre foundations, with Batsugun and DoDonPachi due to their screen filling bullet patterns and harder than hard difficulty, reaching previously unfathomable limits with Mushihime-sama and Cave’s new SH3 hardware.
