Make sets with Extra pieces about shogigui-piece-sets

Maybe a whole new piece can be used thats not inspired by the bishop.
Like an angle goer which is the translation for the kanji of the bishop although I have no clue how to design a piece that looks decent with that base.

Maybe you could use the other interpretation of 角, which is something like "animal horn" (interesting btw how that relates to angles, eh) ... "horned chariot", perhaps?

Yes I saw hidetchi's video again the one about the origin of the kanjis used on the pieces, maybe I'll rewatch the part where he talks about the bishop and an idea might spark.

I discussed with vlad and he helped come up with the idea to use an elephant i think its reasonable since elephants have horns and also its more relate-able to its promotion the dragon horse because both are animals; although, I'm not 100% convinced.

I mean, elephants relate to bishops as far as historical piece developments are concerned, right? Also, elephants are used for the bishops in doubutsu shogi. It should be fine, even though it does seem a bit weird. Mull on it for a while, maybe.

I think horns is not a good relationship to the bishop; although, the kanji may have originated from horns it doesn't have any relationship to the current meaning of the kanji which is "angle", but for the meantime I'll use an Elephant for the bishop.
There's also the possibility of using a ninja star since it points in the 4 directions the bishop can move, but then the issue of notation comes into play the Bishop even in shogi is pretty much standardized to be a B and Shuriken, ninja star, or elephant start with B.

Elephant has been made but is currently in no set. A set could be made that replaces both the rook and bishop for tower and elephant
