  • Ratings, formulas, and comparisons
  • Source and version checks
  • Reminders, exceptions, and discoveries

Their callouts are part of the guide—not decoration. Each one should help you make a decision, understand a screen, or avoid a mistake.

TAKUMIWhat should I do next?

Look for a Takumi Strategy, Game Plan, Lineup Call, or Warning.

SATOWhat does this mean?

Look for a Sato Check, terminology note, verification, or comparison.

TOGETHERHow do the pieces connect?

They appear together for introductions, major comparisons, and system-wide decisions.

AROUND THE HANDBOOK

Colors change with each game mode, but their editorial jobs remain consistent.

Start with the role you need, then build the training plan that gets the player there.

SATO CHECK

Similar bars can mean different things

Check the label, player role, and screen context before treating every gauge as Energy.
