Tobi D+Vine
Tobi D+Vine, released in Japan by Abogado Powers on 25 May 2001, alternates adventure sections with a seven stage horizontally scrolling shooter set after the events of D+VINE[LUV]. The player rides a flying broom accompanied by an option called Rune, which is completely invulnerable and erases small enemy shots on contact so it can be held in front as a shield, and which can be charged and fired ahead to anchor an expanding magical ring that keeps damaging every enemy inside it. The main shot comes in fire, thunder and wind types that can be switched at any moment and strengthened by stones dropped by enemies, while scoring runs on a combo meter that refills on every kill and drains faster the longer the chain gets. Clearing the game once unlocks a shooting only mode that plays the stages back to back without the adventure sections.

Hide fought against the evil spirits at "Ruins 374," also known as The Aveil Ruins. At the request of Patty, deputy researcher at the ruins, Sakura and Hide return to Aveil. "This time, we want you two to check out "Ruins 267", nearly 50 miles from Ruins 374." When Sakura and Hide arrive in town, something happens. Pirates capture Mia, Manati, and Sumaki!
The two of them must go to Ruins 267 and save them!! D+Vine [LUV] has returned as a shooting game! The world and the game system itself follow its predecessor.
