The fantasy ADV stars Leon, lent the dragon Bahamut by God, who must repay 100,000 gold each month on a 1 billion gold contract. A residual-value credit clause means Bahamut's battle wear affects God's appraisal. It is planned for release within the year on PC (Steam) at 490 yen.","whyItMatters":"The comedy hook is also the design spine: Bahamut's battle damage feeds the buyback appraisal, so the monthly repayment loop and the combat loop are the same system, which is why the demo runs a full four-month cycle rather than a story slice.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe game casts Leon as a young man handed the dragon Bahamut by God as his partner in slaying the Demon Lord. Bahamut costs 1 billion gold, and the contract carries a residual-value credit clause: God appraises the dragon afterward and buys it back. Falling short on the monthly 100,000 gold sends Leon underground.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRepayment work happens at the adventurers\u0026#39; guild, where Leon registers and picks quests each week, mixing monster slaying and gathering. Combat is command-based, with normal attacks, defense, skills, magic and items, plus orders that send Bahamut to attack with Scorching Breath or guard Leon with Cover. Bahamut wears down in battle, and that condition carries into the appraisal.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Shobota prices Zankure Bahamut at 490 yen while its protagonist owes 100,000 gold a month. Damaging Bahamut lowers God's appraisal, so the battle system is also the repayment system.","twitterPost":"In Shobota's Zankure Bahamut, damaging Bahamut lowers God's appraisal of the dragon. The combat stat is the credit score.","threadsPost":"Shobota's Zankure Bahamut charges players 490 yen while Leon owes God 100,000 gold monthly. Battles damage Bahamut, and that damage feeds God's appraisal of the dragon. The combat system and the repayment system are the same system, which is why the real opponent is the residual-value clause.","newsletterBlurb":"Shobota opened the Steam page for Zankure Bahamut de Maou Toubatsu on September 30, alongside a demo covering the first four in-game months. Leon is lent a 1-billion-gold dragon by God and owes 100,000 gold every month, with a residual-value credit clause that has God appraise Bahamut afterward. The twist is mechanical: Bahamut's wear from combat carries into that appraisal, so the repayment grind and the battles pull on the same resource.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"Automaton\",\"url\":\"https://automaton-media.com/articles/newsjp/20260930-470776/\",\"title\":\"Fantasy ADV 'Zankure Bahamut de Maou Toubatsu,' Where You Buy a 1-Billion-G Bahamut on Residual-Value Credit, Announced - Damage It and It Hurts the Appraisal; You're Too Busy with Repayment Hell to Focus on Slaying the Demon Lord\"}]","lintFlagsJson":null,"lintHits":0,"costUsd":0,"inputTokens":4774,"outputTokens":755,"status":"published","repairAttempts":0,"nextRepairAt":null,"factsAttemptedAt":1791163772,"createdAt":"2026-10-05T01:25:46.000Z","publishedAt":"2026-10-05T01:28:25.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-05T01:28:25.000Z"},"cluster":{"id":"c_cc605e57edc9a04e7d367100","canonicalTitle":"「10億Gのバハムート」を“残クレ”で買うファンタジーADV『残クレバハムートで魔王討伐』発表。傷つければ査定に響く、魔王討伐どころじゃない返済地獄","representativeArticleId":"a_147cf8bbdbcaf688de88477d","sourceCount":1,"writtenSourceCount":1,"writeAttempts":0,"isSolo":true,"entitiesJson":"{\"anime_titles\":[],\"manga_titles\":[],\"work_titles\":[\"残クレバハムートで魔王討伐 ──10億Gの相棒と、月々10万Gの冒険。\"],\"studios\":[],\"people\":[\"Shobota\"],\"type\":\"announcement\",\"domain\":\"games\",\"is_roundup\":false}","contentType":"news","status":"published","firstSeenAt":"2026-09-30T03:00:03.000Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-09-30T03:00:03.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-05T01:28:22.000Z"},"attribution":[{"source":"Automaton","url":"https://automaton-media.com/articles/newsjp/20260930-470776/","title":"「10億Gのバハムート」を“残クレ”で買うファンタジーADV『残クレバハムートで魔王討伐』発表。傷つければ査定に響く、魔王討伐どころじゃない返済地獄"}],"entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"work_titles":["残クレバハムートで魔王討伐 ──10億Gの相棒と、月々10万Gの冒険。"],"studios":[],"people":["Shobota"],"type":"announcement","domain":"games","is_roundup":false},"keyFacts":null}
