Story Context
In Story B, after defeating the phoenix-looking girl, the main character starts feeling physically ill. Even so, they press on to face the final NOISZ Beast, a white-tiger-looking girl.
In Story C, after defeating Suzaku, Arietta mentions how she is controlling her using the NOISZ Beast technology. Then, she commands Byakko to kill.
Gimmicks
This song features shields. These shields disappear when the counter on them reaches zero. Shooting a shield grants Combo like shooting an enemy, but you do not deal damage. Touching a shield with your hitbox causes you to take damage. There are also bullets that sway from side to side and groups of multiple bullets that hone in on you.
Strategies
Achieving AA-Rank can be tricky here, especially with the shields blocking your damage. Try to get about +50% Overflow in all of the verses. Peeking out from the shield is good for dealing damage but not required to reach AA. Stay above the shields during the divided section in V4 if you can.
Chart Comparison
Flavor Text
Beyond: It's another NOISZ Beast! This one looks dangerous... Use the barriers to hide from the flurries of bullets!
Arietta: Cowardice will get you nowhere. Stop hiding already and show me the true extent of your power.
Stornel: If you feel like testing your skill, increased speed will allow you to use cover more efficiently.
