We got a peek at some new Rare Blades in yesterday’s Direct presentation, and the game’s official Twitter account has followed up with a closer look at Jikareo, Tenni, Gurren, and Yaegiri.

Tenni (CV: Aya Endo, Artist: Hideo Minaba of CyDesignation)

Gurren (CV: Toru Furuya, Artist: Minoru Iwamoto of Bandai Namco)
