Kasumi's Far East

Far East, Model GLF-0NF Windclap, is a character introduced in Medarot Navi and is Kasumi Asano's Starter Medarot, but it used less than Granbeetle / Sonic Stag, as his Medal was stolen right after his first two fights.

In the games

In Medarot Navi

Kasumi uses a Windclap named "Far East" as his Medarot. Using an East Medal, Kasumi is challenged by two bullies of his class, Gousetsu and Mizore. The ensuing two Robottles against Bug Stink and Sickle Cutter act as tutorials to the player.

After winning both battles, Kasumi's East Medal is stolen by Mizore who runs off with Gousetsu. Unable to catch the two, Kasumi is left without a functional Medarot... until a strange voice calls out to him from the old, abandoned schoolyard in back.

Though Kasumi retains Far East's parts and Tinpet, it is not until the rematch with Gousetsu and Mizore that he (along with the lady soldier Fubuki and her Ptolemy) defeats the two in a 2-on-2 Robottle. The two bullies become infatuated with Fubuki and offer to be her subordinates; she reluctantly agrees and the two return Kasumi's East Medal.

After that, Kasumi can alternate between Far East and Granbeetle/Sonic Stag. However, he isn't major to the story.

Some of Kasumi's opponents later in the game also feature Windclaps, allowing the player to build multiple instances of the gryphon Medarot (or replace lost parts if neccesary).

Trivia

• It was a surprise, that the first model one gets in Medarot Navi wasn't a KBT or KWG, but a Windclap, and no one knew its name initially until late in the game, and later on, enemy Windclaps prove to be strong, so alternate between leaders, not just use Granbeetle/Sonic Stag.
