To be honest, she's the Otto Apocalypse of Nikke.

@@moisesezequielgutierrez That's a good point. Marian is probably the most good faith version of Red Shoes' intentions. The only problem is that Red Shoes' corrupted self probably did not intend on a truly peaceful coexistence but just assimilated one where rapture and humanity are legion, where humanity gives up both its freedom and ultimately its existence to the raptures in order to "win".

The fact that Cinderella doesn't mention Red Shoes in her Bond Story when thinking about Old Tales is damning, as is her absence in a lot of the group shots of Old Tales Squad from this event, especially the Story 2 PV.
The Story of Red Shoes is a tale of greed and deception. Her adoptive grandma who doesn't like her wearing red color shoes and the girl lied to her grandma that the color is black and secretly left her sickly grandma to go to a ball wearing that Red Shoes. The shoes suddenly move on its own and made her dance nonstop till she collapse infront of a woodcutter's home where she said the whole truth and the red shoes released her swollen feet. Then she apologies to her grandma.
So the story of The Red Shoes, the Danish one republished in 1845, is much worse. Look it up pretty bad honestly. Tl;dr (More detailed summary below) Young girl named Karen adopted by rich old lady, old lady buys pretty red shoes for spoiled, vain adopted daughter. She wears them to church gets scolded, wears them next week again the shoes get cursed. Adoptive mom dies she fucks off to a dance instead of attending the funeral shoes start making her dance, *she* gets cursed by an angel. Girl finds executioner to chop of feet, succeeds. Tries going to church, shoes dance menacingly, tries again, shoes block again. Next week gives up and prays for help, angel comes by and helps releasing her from the mortal coil. More detailed summary: The girl was called Karen, her mom died when she was very young and a rich old lady adopts her and spoils her making her grow up vain and spoiled. Before she was adopted she had a roughly made pair of red shoes, she convinces the old lady to buy her red shoes fit for a princess. She loves them so much she take them to church, the old lady scolds her that she should wear black shoes to church because anything else is improper. Next time church comes around she wears the red shoes again, some old soilder with a red beard, says the shoes look great for dancing and to never come off when dancing then taps them. After church she does some dance steps and starts dancing, not realising the shoes were controlling her, stopping a few minutes later. Fast forward old lady gets suck and dies, funeral happens but she goes to a dance instead. She starts dancing, but can't stop this time as the shoes completely take control. An angel, with a sword, shows up condemns her to dance even after death, as a warning against vanity in children. She begs for mercy but the shoes take her away before she hears an answer. She goes to an executioner and has him chop of her feet because she can't take them off and she's always dancing. He cuts them off and gives her crutches and wooden feet. She tries to go to church, so people can see her thinking shes suffered enough, the shoes with her amputated feet dance in front of the door. Next Sunday she tries again thinking she's at least as good a person as the other people in church, the shoes are there again. Next Sunday she gives up, and prays to God for help. Same angel that condemned her appears, with roses instead of a sword, and give her the mercy she asked for. Her heart is filled with so much joy and peace it bursts, and she goes to Heaven where no one mentions the red shoes.

@@bennetttheunluckyguy6428Idk which version of this, but what I read is the little girl use those red shoes when she going to church couple of times, until the red shoes start to dancing on it's own. In NIKKE world, we can assume the church are V.T.C.
Who's this "we" you're talking about? The moment she refused to go over a brain scan even though Oswald assured her they didn't need to remove their brain or kill them it was pretty obvious why 🤣
@@VisualEnjoyer9756Because we didn't know who is right or wrong at that point even though we already knew the answer (brain scan thing already answered from earlier main story). Most of us got blinded by the 'THICC'ness of 'PLOT' so what can we say?
When I read through the event story, right as some last minute upgrades were given to Cinderella, I thought to myself, "I bet Red Shoes is gonna pull some BS" because I had thoughts that maybe her envy and Cinderella would make her do something messed up. But we'll be learning later today.
I knew she was sus the moment she mentioned unification also Cinderella got corrupted without ever being out on the field yet she drinks tea made by red shoes and the next day she's corrupted
Now it makes sense why Cinderella didint kill anyone in that room, she only broke their weapons and left, and Red Shoes said she was gonna try the corruption on everyone else, meaning she probably left a line of code to not kill anyone from her own squad, as red shoes needed them for experiments later
@rumuelnathanael8043 it's fanmade but I Highly, Highly recommend It. It plays before the Main Story and focuses on a Commander using exclusively Mass Produced Nikkes and his Squad.
At first, I wanted the theories that claimed that Red Shoes turned into Nihilister to be true. All just because of Nihilister's final destiny after being betrayed by Indivillia and Chatterbox. But I enjoyed her actual demise even more. She was not turned into a Heretic, she was not granted the power and status that comes with it either. Instead, she was just used to create a rapture that was quickly dispatched. Dead and fogotten shall you remain.
No. The Raptures are infinite and humans had already created the Ark by that time. What Red Shoes did was help them create an even greater force. Something that was exactly the opposite of her insane desire for "peace" and "harmony" with this alien race.
I think the droplets are from Siren/Little Mermaid. She has a very interesting weapon that is used to convey words or a message, it acts very much like a liquid.
Ok we now know Red Shoes is 100% insane the one who those messages are from might be Siren since she did say something about holding Cinderella's hands
I noticed that as well. Personally, that's far-fetched, I think. We all know how she dies. If we are gunna theorise how she lives on, then her tampering with the corruption code is one obvious possibility. They can basically do a Dr. Zola with Red Shoes like how Marvel did in Captain America: Winter Soldier. It's also possible that she IS alive but used differently. For all we know, Red Shoes might be Sixo. The timing of their debuts are quite close. Not to mention, Sixo did create the Dark Net something that would be very convenient for Red Shoes if she survived.
Man was just doing his job to apprehend Old Tale squad after seeing one of them turn bad and destroy everyone, can’t blame him for being on edge towards the others.
Bad guy? What he said and was tasked to do was only logical. The scene about the brain scan implied Red Shoes could've been covering for her squad or *herself.* That she straight up fabricated the mortality rate, and Oswald was calling her out when he said "I'd like to see that report because I sure as Hell haven't."
Titan was here as all ways great video. My theory is that Red shoos corrupted Cinderella out of spite and jealousy of that she got deployed before her, and in this state of mind she hope that Cinderella would be rendered unable to go on the mission and that she could go instead of her only for it to blow up in her face (I came up whit this theory before i read Rapunzel pure gaze bond so it docent fit as well now =(. )
same, i had thought the same as well, i had planned to read pure gaze story at another time, kinda hoping to do that after i am done with the current event, until i watch a reading of rapunzel bond story on his twitch channel and welp, i accidentally spoilt myself since i thought they are gonna read the old rapunzel bond story haha.
During the revelation i was actually horrified. All the damage that she made with her experiment is just unmesurable. Since the start of the game we see the aftermath of her madness, one would imaginr that she's an evil scientist that hates the world or something. But in the confrontation, she acts..."normaly", it's not the big moment when the villain rejoices in her triumph... she's just talking as if she just figured out a neat lifehack. It's scary how she just damned all of humanity while being so "sane"
Just came back from part 2. It's sad, man.... she was just a power adict... and a fool on top of that; at least we know that the remaining 3 are still out there. Still, I cannot hate Red shoes
You're idea of her doing it to try and boost Cindy's abilities might be right that might also be what she wanted to talk to the whole squad about before Cindy left.
Dude when a fellow Nikke did a check up on her prior to her heading out it was a red flag, her beeing a fellow researcher and getting along with Abe is why i was unsure somewhat but it was a obvious hint.
Now I wonder if Red Shoes created Chatterbox, seeing as Chatterbox seems to be very closely connected to corruption, and is the only Rapture that seems to have a distinct personality. Knowing what we know now about Red Shoes and what she was doing might explain what Chatterbox was talking about in the Last Kingdom event when he was talking about Marian and how she has something to do with his dreams and aspirations, whatever those may be.
Did you see the stars running across the Queen's forehead? Compare that with Marian's crown in her Second Affection skin. Chatterbox really wants her to be his new Queen.
Did you at all see the last scene for the last kingdom event she went to go meet with Individualia and Chatterbox and told em to go away and they only listened cuz they saw something in her
@@lugiamastero13 It's more about the new details, i thought that much was already known. Also 2nd affection has Q-002 markings, the Queen Cinderella fought is Q-001.
I’m still on the side of Red Shoe is the main blame but there was a hidden force leading to Cinder’s corruption. It’s all too easy to point it to Red Shoes. If it was her then so be it Plus again I’m bias for Red and will try to defend
after finishing story 1 i always thought that red shoes were a mad scientist whos not evil but trying to save the sake of humanity in her own ways, i was right i think..
It really does astound me that the military and feds never developed a contingency plan or a kill switch for these obviously superpowered machines that can turn on them during their creation.
Your answer doesn't explain why Red Shoes would be left out of the team. If Abe was the true source of corruption, then it would have been Abe that would have been blamed for all this, not Red Shoes. That wouldn't have been a reason for Cinderella not to mention her when recounting her past. However, its entirely possible that Red Shoes had already been fully corrupted before Cinderella and that Cinderella doesn't know this herself because the story is always told from the perspective of the characters, not the narrator. We aren't told anything that the characters themselves don't know.
I already knew she is sus because of the first tea session with cindy and saying “she wanted power” and “to make the world whole” or somethin. Then Story 2 further clarifies all dat.
I never suspected her out of her being a fellow Nikke researcher that helps out Cinderella with her systems she's sympathetically deceitful Her twin sisters I rather blame cause they choose to not stop her from going deep into her deranged plans
yea, everyone called it. it was the maitenance afer the tea, but still teh tea. And she did that to 100's of her fellow nikkes, doomed all life on earth and so on and so forth. yea she makes Crow look like a disobedient child.
Bro, you WERE RIGHT... Spoilers... Just like the tales of grimms brothers, the red shoes probably affected the user (The nikke red shoes) and was her demise, we dont know now, but in the end she was the traitor... And probably give the Queen a way to win against humanity ... Ps: I still think the Real Villains are THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT and that Raptures and Humans/Nikkes are PAWNS IN THEIR GAME
I agree. I think her pursuit of knowledge and power led her to this point. All the clues lead to her. I think the corruption came from within glass slippers and when Red Shoes helped abe fine tune cindy to go with the goddess squad. Kind of why cindy has the one slipper on it's own.
Red Shoes might not be the only one responsible, remember that there was a dispute between the two major companies over who gets the credit for the Old Tales' achievements. I'm sure they were attempts of sabotage against the between the two, knowing how power hungry the united humanity (or the ARK) were
Corruption seems to use a NIKKE's motivation as it's driving force. Was Red Shoes fighting it like Red Hood? Did she somehow shove the corruption into her weapon which "cursed" them so they took off after they were severed?
Y'know what's funny? If the Wizard of Oz only 2 characters had Red Shoes/Slippers. Dorothy. And THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST. And since there's already a Dorothy without red shoes that only left one expy.
Wow what great theory i have not read event been away for bit love this theory. Much better then my own witch i believed she was either vessel of queen or under influence of her painting her in sympathic character. Really good in sense if true never in sense betrayed her comrades she did everything for them with little time she had left. As red shoes not whatever she ends up being
My theory was that the tea was a "corruption vaccine" of sort that Red Shoes was wanting to test, or out of worry for her friend, but it backfired. This allows Red Shoes to be recruitable in the future and still lets Cinderella hate Red Shoes because she still was the cause of all her suffering.
Also Pyrrhixz, i like your theory. because it seen a bit odd how red shoes pull this off, i also like the idea of all the second grim model could have the corruption code all ready in them... now that i think of it, was RedHood the last one that was made for gen-1 grim model ? also about the Theory of unification Red Shoes have. i mean we could take the easy way and say "it was just her coo-coo idea of a religious person" but what if... she and some one else/some group believe that that's possible ? what if those people each choose a rout. i mean... we have are boy Raptillion.
While her shoes running away on their own is reference to og story I think that is dead giveaway that she was corrupted and most likely acting not entirely as herself. I still hope Oswald or someone came across her remains not long after Cinderella was done with her and kept her brain safe to bring her back but without the corruption. Soon we will run out of Grimms models which were and are strongest Nikkes out there so I hope they keep her.
red shoes will live like a curse to a type of rapture not even heretic a pathetic ending for her i prefer behemoth or leviatan after you see today part 2 of history of old tales you will know there is nothing to like red shoes
I dont think the droplets were from Red Shoes. I think its from Siren/Little Mermaid because iirc her power is related to manipulating a special type of water or something along those lines, and even when Cinderella smashed up her jaw and almost killed her she was still quite concerned about her and whether they could bring her back over to their side or not
3:10 - Red Shoes was so preoccupied with whether she could, she didn't stop to think if she should Also I really enjoy your content but in recent videos you’ve been talking much slower and adding all these pauses for (what I assume is) a dramatic effect of some sort It reaaalllllyyyyy destroys the pacing of the video (10:22 is a prime example)
Abe SUS. She gave Cinderella one last *"tune up"* moments before she was due to join the Goddess squad for a joint mission. And then she got corrupted and the rest is history... She als9 cut the communication cables in the secret base so that Cinderella's squad could not contact any one outside the base and no one could find them. However, Red Shoes was the one to repair and reestablish communication with the Central Government. Hypothetically speaking, is what she says about the mortality rate of the brain scans is true, then it would make more sense for her not to fix the comms and bring the Cenral Government o their location. Also, we never saw exactly how Abe survived Dark Cinderella's assault enough to get back up bodies for her *"allies"* either. She herself claims to not be good at combat and that she is just a *"Mass Produced Nikke Model*" who got lucky (somehow) to keep ALL her memories after becoming a Nikke... She would have to have moved them one or two at a time depending on how severe their damage was. She would also have to do it very carefully to avoid further damage. She also then had to move their spare bodies. She said they were stuck in that base for months and we still don't know how she spent that time. Red Shoes and the others found her SUS. She spent months all alinemwith the unconscious bodies of Red Shoes nd the others... She si also the one who performed the last tune up on Cinderella before her corruption manifests... We saw how Cinderella felt she had changed. She could have easily changed something. She also wants Cinderella to be more beautiful after all, so it would theoretically not be too far fetched to assume to wished to make her stronger by giving her a limit break using the Rapture's corruption code repurposed for Nikke enhancement, only for things to go wrong.
Abe is Grave, and during that last tune up, cinderella was exhibiting certain qualities of heretics already, namely the skin being hard to get through unless they allow it, and red shoes was there helping with that tune up as well.
But the point is that ,why would she expose Cinderella if it was meant to harvest the corruption in order to suppress it? Was it out of jealousy over Cinderella? Was it because she thought that Cinderella could overcome it? Well we just need to wait a little bit more I guess.
Somebody answer the phone cause Pyrrhixz fucking called it

The original story of the fairy tale was depressing they have to cut the feet of the little girl to save her because the devil poses the red shoes
@@bennetttheunluckyguy6428Idk which version of this, but what I read is the little girl use those red shoes when she going to church couple of times, until the red shoes start to dancing on it's own. In NIKKE world, we can assume the church are V.T.C.
Damn, we paid to much attention to the sheer amount of "plot" which corrupted our minds to hide her evilness; the corruption queen she is, indeed.
Underrated comment 😂
For real, she got the whole industry on them "plots"!
THE "" PLOT"" BETRAYED ME NOOOOOOO!!! 😭😭😭
Who's this "we" you're talking about? The moment she refused to go over a brain scan even though Oswald assured her they didn't need to remove their brain or kill them it was pretty obvious why 🤣
@@VisualEnjoyer9756Because we didn't know who is right or wrong at that point even though we already knew the answer (brain scan thing already answered from earlier main story).
Most of us got blinded by the 'THICC'ness of 'PLOT' so what can we say?
On one hand, she's worse than Crow, which is quite an achievement.
On the other hand..PLOT.
When I read through the event story, right as some last minute upgrades were given to Cinderella, I thought to myself, "I bet Red Shoes is gonna pull some BS" because I had thoughts that maybe her envy and Cinderella would make her do something messed up.
But we'll be learning later today.
Well well well
I knew she was sus the moment she mentioned unification also Cinderella got corrupted without ever being out on the field yet she drinks tea made by red shoes and the next day she's corrupted
Now it makes sense why Cinderella didint kill anyone in that room, she only broke their weapons and left, and Red Shoes said she was gonna try the corruption on everyone else, meaning she probably left a line of code to not kill anyone from her own squad, as red shoes needed them for experiments later
Honestly if you look at her face and the way her eyes are what's that damn smile on her face. You can already tell she's a sheisty Nikkie!
There Is An Impostor Among Us 💀💀💀💀
You are genius for this
Red SUS
@@SniperFallen06 She wouldn't do the medical scans!
2:18 LET'S GOOO ! That manga is so good.
Is that official or fanmade?
@rumuelnathanael8043 it's fanmade but I Highly, Highly recommend It. It plays before the Main Story and focuses on a Commander using exclusively Mass Produced Nikkes and his Squad.
At first, I wanted the theories that claimed that Red Shoes turned into Nihilister to be true. All just because of Nihilister's final destiny after being betrayed by Indivillia and Chatterbox. But I enjoyed her actual demise even more. She was not turned into a Heretic, she was not granted the power and status that comes with it either. Instead, she was just used to create a rapture that was quickly dispatched.
Dead and fogotten shall you remain.
I know she's sus and all but I still want to pull for her so I hope she survives this like event and become playable later
Well, I didn't expect my Original Sin theory was so close to the mark lol.
So basically she is the sole reason that the humans were forced to go underground
No. The Raptures are infinite and humans had already created the Ark by that time.
What Red Shoes did was help them create an even greater force. Something that was exactly the opposite of her insane desire for "peace" and "harmony" with this alien race.
not many people do Nikke lore content, appreciate it, immediate sub
Imagine me sick playing this event and hearing red shoes was the one who created corruption and the joy she takes in explaining it.... 😢😢
Bro cooked so hard and he was right
yeah he giving Apollo.
Deeper down the depression rabbit hole we go! 🐇🕳️
story 2 is out and to no one surprise, she was the one who corrupted cindy.
Would still pull for her.
Understandable
same, will still pull for her but only cos her boots reminds me of jet boots from pso2
I doubt these Nikkes are going to be playable, unless Siren and Hansel and Gretel survived that long. Red Shoes obviously is not going to be playable.
Nah bro, Red Shoes is never going to be playable
Still a W either way. @@vigbokwe69
I think the droplets are from Siren/Little Mermaid. She has a very interesting weapon that is used to convey words or a message, it acts very much like a liquid.
I lowkey did that to give some hope for the Red Hood believers before part 2 came out lol. But yeah it’s mossy likely siren
Ok we now know Red Shoes is 100% insane the one who those messages are from might be Siren since she did say something about holding Cinderella's hands
Japanese had this theory she became Nihilister but not corrupted rather absorbed.
I noticed that as well. Personally, that's far-fetched, I think. We all know how she dies. If we are gunna theorise how she lives on, then her tampering with the corruption code is one obvious possibility. They can basically do a Dr. Zola with Red Shoes like how Marvel did in Captain America: Winter Soldier. It's also possible that she IS alive but used differently. For all we know, Red Shoes might be Sixo. The timing of their debuts are quite close. Not to mention, Sixo did create the Dark Net something that would be very convenient for Red Shoes if she survived.
00:36 ever since when, we turned into dwarfs
Honestly i just want oswald to actually be a good guy cause him during the event as a bad guy didn't make sense to me
Man was just doing his job to apprehend Old Tale squad after seeing one of them turn bad and destroy everyone, can’t blame him for being on edge towards the others.
Bad guy? What he said and was tasked to do was only logical. The scene about the brain scan implied Red Shoes could've been covering for her squad or *herself.* That she straight up fabricated the mortality rate, and Oswald was calling her out when he said "I'd like to see that report because I sure as Hell haven't."
@@Blu_Moon_Owl Oswald is still an asshole for what he did to the Goddess Squad and left em on the surface to rot.
@@franktiziano1111 is that from RedAsh or something? I’m new to Nikke and haven’t experienced everything in it
@@Blu_Moon_OwlIt's from OverZone
Red Shoes being the one responsible for such advanced corruption was not what i expected at all, it was such a major plot-twist in old tales
Titan was here
as all ways great video. My theory is that Red shoos corrupted Cinderella out of spite and jealousy of that she got deployed before her, and in this state of mind she hope that Cinderella would be rendered unable to go on the mission and that she could go instead of her only for it to blow up in her face (I came up whit this theory before i read Rapunzel pure gaze bond so it docent fit as well now =(. )
same, i had thought the same as well, i had planned to read pure gaze story at another time, kinda hoping to do that after i am done with the current event, until i watch a reading of rapunzel bond story on his twitch channel and welp, i accidentally spoilt myself since i thought they are gonna read the old rapunzel bond story haha.
Rapture Queen: Do what you do..
*Communicate her in the Hive Mind*
Red Shoes: Yes, my Queen.
During the revelation i was actually horrified.
All the damage that she made with her experiment is just unmesurable. Since the start of the game we see the aftermath of her madness, one would imaginr that she's an evil scientist that hates the world or something.
But in the confrontation, she acts..."normaly", it's not the big moment when the villain rejoices in her triumph... she's just talking as if she just figured out a neat lifehack.
It's scary how she just damned all of humanity while being so "sane"
Just came back from part 2.
It's sad, man.... she was just a power adict... and a fool on top of that; at least we know that the remaining 3 are still out there. Still, I cannot hate Red shoes
You're idea of her doing it to try and boost Cindy's abilities might be right that might also be what she wanted to talk to the whole squad about before Cindy left.
Dude when a fellow Nikke did a check up on her prior to her heading out it was a red flag, her beeing a fellow researcher and getting along with Abe is why i was unsure somewhat but it was a obvious hint.
She is, quite literally, the whole reason nikke story exist.
She is genuinely be the nikke erebus.
So I finished part 2 and Hoooo boy we get some more info about Red Shoes both in the story and in the Mirror mini game
Talk about hitting the nail on the head
Finishes Part 2:
She is now officially more hated than Crow now.
EREBUS!
FLAMES OF PERDITION!
HERESY!!!🤬😡💢💢💢💢
I do not hate her, tho. I feel more Sad, TBH
Red shoes... you were such a fool
damn she look like him.
Never thought I'd ever see another Erebus, but here we are.
Crow is fascinating as well, that the ark is keeping her for experiments.
Just like Cinderella, Horus did nothing wrong
Great theories! I’m super excited for part 2!
DAMN I DONT KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
Now I wonder if Red Shoes created Chatterbox, seeing as Chatterbox seems to be very closely connected to corruption, and is the only Rapture that seems to have a distinct personality. Knowing what we know now about Red Shoes and what she was doing might explain what Chatterbox was talking about in the Last Kingdom event when he was talking about Marian and how she has something to do with his dreams and aspirations, whatever those may be.
Didn't think anyone could peak Arkturus Megnsk levels of villainy but Red Shoes has! Sadly she only died once for her calamity she caused.
Did you see the stars running across the Queen's forehead? Compare that with Marian's crown in her Second Affection skin.
Chatterbox really wants her to be his new Queen.
Did you at all see the last scene for the last kingdom event she went to go meet with Individualia and Chatterbox and told em to go away and they only listened cuz they saw something in her
@@lugiamastero13remember that unchained can only cure 98% of corruption? Maybe the 2% are Queen in Marians head thus the star symbol
@ChopperMXgaming perhaps I guess we will have to see in any future events but I'll definitly remember this
@@lugiamastero13 It's more about the new details, i thought that much was already known.
Also 2nd affection has Q-002 markings, the Queen Cinderella fought is Q-001.
@@ChopperMXgamingHold up. Unchained? It does sounds like that instead of translating to Vapaus
One could say: Red is sus.
I’m still on the side of Red Shoe is the main blame but there was a hidden force leading to Cinder’s corruption. It’s all too easy to point it to Red Shoes. If it was her then so be it
Plus again I’m bias for Red and will try to defend
after finishing story 1 i always thought that red shoes were a mad scientist whos not evil but trying to save the sake of humanity in her own ways, i was right i think..
It really does astound me that the military and feds never developed a contingency plan or a kill switch for these obviously superpowered machines that can turn on them during their creation.
After finishing part 2 of Old Tales… I now hate Red Shoes more than Crow (and Crow was my most despised character in Nikke since really long Time !)
Your answer doesn't explain why Red Shoes would be left out of the team. If Abe was the true source of corruption, then it would have been Abe that would have been blamed for all this, not Red Shoes. That wouldn't have been a reason for Cinderella not to mention her when recounting her past.
However, its entirely possible that Red Shoes had already been fully corrupted before Cinderella and that Cinderella doesn't know this herself because the story is always told from the perspective of the characters, not the narrator. We aren't told anything that the characters themselves don't know.
So... after the second chapter i had i thought.
What if Red Shoes somehow became, is part of or created Chatterbox?
Well looks like we have to wait until tommorow and then we know what happen
dude I would so love to see an anime movie made by UFO Table with Nikke. The story is so good!
Out of this revelations,I don't blame her,but those that chose to not take action against her
I already knew she is sus because of the first tea session with cindy and saying “she wanted power” and “to make the world whole” or somethin. Then Story 2 further clarifies all dat.
I never suspected her out of her being a fellow Nikke researcher that helps out Cinderella with her systems
she's sympathetically deceitful
Her twin sisters I rather blame cause they choose to not stop her from going deep into her deranged plans
Red shoes is still out there? And perhaps, a little bit of the monster she was too. Nikke’s just don’t seem able to stay dead for long.
yea, everyone called it. it was the maitenance afer the tea, but still teh tea. And she did that to 100's of her fellow nikkes, doomed all life on earth and so on and so forth. yea she makes Crow look like a disobedient child.
It’s ok Pyrrhixz, like you, I too thought that Thanos was a hero who was only looking to prevent future problems 😂
Ugh.... whichever way it is... its depression... and im all in for it...
Cant wait for a sequel of this video after what i read on part 2 lol
Bro, you WERE RIGHT...
Spoilers...
Just like the tales of grimms brothers, the red shoes probably affected the user (The nikke red shoes) and was her demise, we dont know now, but in the end she was the traitor...
And probably give the Queen a way to win against humanity ...
Ps: I still think the Real Villains are THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT and that Raptures and Humans/Nikkes are PAWNS IN THEIR GAME
I agree. I think her pursuit of knowledge and power led her to this point. All the clues lead to her. I think the corruption came from within glass slippers and when Red Shoes helped abe fine tune cindy to go with the goddess squad. Kind of why cindy has the one slipper on it's own.
Red Shoes might not be the only one responsible, remember that there was a dispute between the two major companies over who gets the credit for the Old Tales' achievements. I'm sure they were attempts of sabotage against the between the two, knowing how power hungry the united humanity (or the ARK) were
Aaaaaaaaaand there was not a deep story behind: she was just crazy and stupid.
Damn I guess I can't put her in the crow category.
Thanks for your NIKKE history review I love it keep up the good work 🗣️💯😎
Corruption seems to use a NIKKE's motivation as it's driving force. Was Red Shoes fighting it like Red Hood? Did she somehow shove the corruption into her weapon which "cursed" them so they took off after they were severed?
Y'know what's funny?
If the Wizard of Oz only 2 characters had Red Shoes/Slippers.
Dorothy.
And THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST.
And since there's already a Dorothy without red shoes that only left one expy.
Wow what great theory i have not read event been away for bit love this theory. Much better then my own witch i believed she was either vessel of queen or under influence of her painting her in sympathic character. Really good in sense if true never in sense betrayed her comrades she did everything for them with little time she had left. As red shoes not whatever she ends up being
My theory was that the tea was a "corruption vaccine" of sort that Red Shoes was wanting to test, or out of worry for her friend, but it backfired. This allows Red Shoes to be recruitable in the future and still lets Cinderella hate Red Shoes because she still was the cause of all her suffering.
Nah she did it when doing Cinderella last maintenance
Also Pyrrhixz, i like your theory. because it seen a bit odd how red shoes pull this off, i also like the idea of all the second grim model could have the corruption code all ready in them... now that i think of it, was RedHood the last one that was made for gen-1 grim model ?
also about the Theory of unification Red Shoes have. i mean we could take the easy way and say "it was just her coo-coo idea of a religious person" but what if... she and some one else/some group believe that that's possible ? what if those people each choose a rout. i mean... we have are boy Raptillion.

"WHAT MURDAA"
I said as they ask me of red lol
Was that Yessenia doing the notes? So much emotion portrayed in the notes.
Most evil character in Nikke for real
While her shoes running away on their own is reference to og story I think that is dead giveaway that she was corrupted and most likely acting not entirely as herself. I still hope Oswald or someone came across her remains not long after Cinderella was done with her and kept her brain safe to bring her back but without the corruption. Soon we will run out of Grimms models which were and are strongest Nikkes out there so I hope they keep her.
Her redemption arc gonna be immaculate
I want her that is all.
red shoes will live like a curse to a type of rapture not even heretic a pathetic ending for her i prefer behemoth or leviatan after you see today part 2 of history of old tales you will know there is nothing to like red shoes
Shame as I liked her the most beside Cindarella
I never trusted her. The moment I looked at her, I kept getting the creeps for some reason. Turns out I was right
The Erebus of Nikke
great video!
After playing part 2 of old tales red shoes is definitely on top of the list compared to crow or anyone else
Basically Red Shoes is Erebus of Nikke. Confirmed.
I dont think the droplets were from Red Shoes. I think its from Siren/Little Mermaid because iirc her power is related to manipulating a special type of water or something along those lines, and even when Cinderella smashed up her jaw and almost killed her she was still quite concerned about her and whether they could bring her back over to their side or not
3:10 - Red Shoes was so preoccupied with whether she could, she didn't stop to think if she should
Also I really enjoy your content but in recent videos you’ve been talking much slower and adding all these pauses for (what I assume is) a dramatic effect of some sort
It reaaalllllyyyyy destroys the pacing of the video (10:22 is a prime example)
Big agree on pacing.
I don't know it's a good theory and plausible but the cinderella little mermaid hansel and gretel as well as Abe are still victims to red shoes.
Abe SUS.
She gave Cinderella one last *"tune up"* moments before she was due to join the Goddess squad for a joint mission. And then she got corrupted and the rest is history...
She als9 cut the communication cables in the secret base so that Cinderella's squad could not contact any one outside the base and no one could find them. However, Red Shoes was the one to repair and reestablish communication with the Central Government. Hypothetically speaking, is what she says about the mortality rate of the brain scans is true, then it would make more sense for her not to fix the comms and bring the Cenral Government o their location.
Also, we never saw exactly how Abe survived Dark Cinderella's assault enough to get back up bodies for her *"allies"* either. She herself claims to not be good at combat and that she is just a *"Mass Produced Nikke Model*" who got lucky (somehow) to keep ALL her memories after becoming a Nikke...
She would have to have moved them one or two at a time depending on how severe their damage was. She would also have to do it very carefully to avoid further damage. She also then had to move their spare bodies. She said they were stuck in that base for months and we still don't know how she spent that time. Red Shoes and the others found her SUS.
She spent months all alinemwith the unconscious bodies of Red Shoes nd the others... She si also the one who performed the last tune up on Cinderella before her corruption manifests... We saw how Cinderella felt she had changed. She could have easily changed something.
She also wants Cinderella to be more beautiful after all, so it would theoretically not be too far fetched to assume to wished to make her stronger by giving her a limit break using the Rapture's corruption code repurposed for Nikke enhancement, only for things to go wrong.
Abe is Grave, and during that last tune up, cinderella was exhibiting certain qualities of heretics already, namely the skin being hard to get through unless they allow it, and red shoes was there helping with that tune up as well.
@jpharbazjokersnake8143 Ah I see, forgot about Red Shoes' presence their. And I didn't realise those were signs of corruption. Thanks
But the point is that ,why would she expose Cinderella if it was meant to harvest the corruption in order to suppress it?
Was it out of jealousy over Cinderella?
Was it because she thought that Cinderella could overcome it?
Well we just need to wait a little bit more I guess.
