Source-derived summary

Nijiiro Dodge Ball: Otome Tachi no Seishun (Japanese: 虹色ドッジボール 乙女たちの青春; lit. 'Rainbow-colored Dodgeball: Youth of Maidens') is the second dodge ball game developed by Million and published by Atlus. The game combines elements of Super Dodge Ball with growth sim elements. Similar to Super Dodge Ball Advance, this game has no Kunio-kun characters.

A planned deluxe pack version of the game includes guide book and a set of 12 postcards, but the plan was scrapped. The items became available through early orders of the game. In addition, pre-orders through Sofmap, Messe Sanoh and Gamers received a telephone card.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 98-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2002-12-12. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Nijiiro, Dodge and Ball.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
