Once again, apologies on how behind I am with uploads - the EVA timeline is definitely a weird one since I barely managed to pull for the event before I ended up getting busy sporadically & missing most of the event ...😭 There was a lot to process in this chapter but Snow White & Absolute couldn't have had cooler entrances!! 😩🤍 Oh & I think that Hot & Heavy clip is burned into my retinas,,,
did you watched overzone and red ash before wathcing urrent event? They add quite a lot of context. Also cant wait for you to reach later chapters. Ps i forgot how annoying the counters are at begining 😭
I don't know if anyone in chat ever clarified it for you but the Scouts (Delta and Signal) were presumably the pilots on the transport ship that came to pick you up. Eunhwa took the shot that saved your bacon, and over the course of the campaign she continues to make several more high profile hits. Absolute are canonically one of the three best combat squads in the game and the best Elysion has to offer.
if Johan can have cibernetics that make it so that he can easily one shot low level raptures (making him almost as strong as the mass-produced nikkes) a reinforced pelvis doesn't seem that far off
I love rewatching the story with you! You manage to read the characters (as in intentions and emotions) so much better than I do! Also, how crazy that Red Riding Hood was mentioned already. That confirms my theory that even the tutorial teases it. Wow! Aaaand... I like Syuen. Not really for her actions, but more of how strong her personality is played. It is so hard to explain, but I am happy to see her, even though of the bad things she did. A bit like how Anis has such a strong personality as well, but... not as friendly as Anis xD
Been watching the vods of future chapters on twitch and I've lost count how many times I've forgotten it's a vod and went "why can't I type in chat" when a question is asked
Yeah, funny that I do agree because I play both game. Well because NIKKE are story driven game like FF14, and most ppl ignore the meta like PvP or even rank in solo raid just to watch other streamer react to Red Ash event or Marian dead scene in tutorial.
@@Not-Andy-Here emotional vampirism, in this context, refers to the enjoyment of a streamers first time reaction caused by the strong emotions that the storytelling evokes. As you can experience a story for the first time only once many like to see it in others, often reflecting their own experience.
If you mean since the EVA collab, then I say that with a “technically” haha- I wasn’t able to really start playing consistently until around the end of the EVA event if I remember correctly!
Yeah that whole “commander getting all those girls” scene. Those are a small few…of the many. He’s got better game than most protagonists out there and it’s not even close
not sure if you already figured this out but pull for cinderella while you can. The way she is right now, she's probably the single best unit in the entire game. even if you already have her, get dupes, she's insane.
Well comparing nikke to mecha animes.(Maybe its mentioned later, currently at 1h mark) I would say Full metal panic. My guess would be that karate scene on youtube made a lot of people watch it myself included.
The ultimate crossover would be Nikke x Muv-Luv Alternative because they are more or less the same story except all the female characters are erm... "extremely story specific spoilers for MLA so I won't say it but if you kn0w you kn0w."
Vidia, did you set stricter moderation on comments on YT Studio? I wrote an absolutely non-malicious comment that was just poking fun at the situation about the April's Fool prank with the "hot and heavy" potatoes, pointing out the fact that the Commander in canon had his way with all of those characters BUT ONE (you guess which one, LOL) and YT deleted it. I think it's because I used a fairly innocuous verb that starts with "b" and rymhes with "hanging".
"It doesn't matter" yet I always prefer EN dubs over subs only reason I watched like 2 animes in the OG Japanese with subs was cuz I was waiting for the dubs and one of them I decided to watch in both EN and Japanese with subs but other than that I prefer dubs. I don't care what anyone says one anime that TRULY is better and best watched in English is Black Lagoon for the awesome and hilarious constant F-bombs,etc in every episode that anime has one of the best Eng voice casts ( to me anyway) that and Hellsing Ultimate/OVA both are 2 animes I think are best watched with the Eng dub and anyone who disagree are just wrong but its okay all good. I would elaborate why I prefer dubs over Japanese but I feel it wouldn't matter either way to some if I did
I've got no problems with EN dubs when they are well done. FMA Brotherhood, Death Note, Toradora...there's plenty of excellent english anime dubs. The issue with the EN dub in Nikke is that it's very hit or miss. Some of the voices are a really good fit for the character, while others don't really fit at all. Marian, for example, is supposed to be very gentle and caring, yet her english VA has more alluring vibes. The JP casting in this particular case is absolutely flawless. All the voices are perfect matches for the characters. And JP isn't even necessarily the original dub, since the game is korean. It's just that is arguably the best. Also, the level of acting is above and beyond the EN dub. It's not that the EN dub is bad. In fact, some of the VAs are great. I especially like the Counters, for example. It's more of a matter of the JP one being absurdly good for no reason. I mean, there's very few japanese anime I can think of that have a dub as good as Nikke's. Mustang is voiced by the same voice actor as Dio in Jojo's Bizarre adventure. Just to give you an idea of the level we are talking about. It's like the EN dub is a TV drama level and the JP one is an endless list of academy awards winners. It's THAT good. The japanese dub adds a lot to emotional scenes. Go watch the last winter event with JP dub and then rewatch it with EN dub. The EN dub just falls flat. The JP one will bring you to tears easily. It's like the actresses really gave their soul to it. Also, the JP dub of Nikke has THE single best voice acting I've ever heard in any piece of media, period. I won't say the name of the character because it's spoilers to the current VODs, but she's INSANELY good, and the EN one for the same character absolutely can't even measure up on the same category.
@@Shendue JP having "the single best overall dub" is clearly your opinion and subjective cuz I respectfully disagree but hey to add to that agree to disagree I will always prefer dubs. Also Marian's voice sounding "more alluring" imo fits her personality and character more considering what happens to her literally not long after the intro but that's just me alluring fitted her more. Rapi is one character in the game for example I feel sounds better in the Eng dub considering everything about her I researched/read about her having a soft spoken,alluring?,etc voice really shows her character especially since she IS oen of the poster girls for the game and all. But yeah overall its whatever people have their preferences but I'll always truly believe the Eng dub is better/fits certain characters more in the end all good

you know that was a event could you use shifty and syuen has playabale characters

@@saremsttral3954 prima aprilis i wonder if thei will add it to archives like thei did with Modernia's free outfit event

“He probably wouldn’t be physically op,”. Lmao he has the strongest hips in the Ark
Strongest pelvis 😭
Do you think the human skull could withstand elegg sitting on it?
Later on he can throw a Nikke over his shoulder
if Johan can have cibernetics that make it so that he can easily one shot low level raptures (making him almost as strong as the mass-produced nikkes) a reinforced pelvis doesn't seem that far off
55:10 "Shows up, saves the day, leaves. While carrying a tank on her back." Oh Vidia, you sweet child.
She's carrying Seven.
honestly having timestamps for the vod makes it so much nicer to watch thank you
Ahh glad they’re helpful!!!
Yeah, I am so glad that she included the time stamping. It makes it convenient for me to watch the parts that I am most excited to see.
every time vidia gets a good theory going, and we cant talk about it because "SHES NOT THERE YET" is the most painful thing
52:05
There is actually an animation of Snow White using her rifle! It's from the TuNGSTeN music video on the official EN Nikke channel.
Oh? A reason to listen to Tungsten for the millionth time? Say less 😍
I love rewatching the story with you! You manage to read the characters (as in intentions and emotions) so much better than I do!

Aww, that makes me so happy to hear!! 🤍😭
Chatterbox reminds me of the Ape Titan. As in the first foe we encountered that can talk. Plus monke-shaped.
True.
chatterbox is on my monsterfcking list honestly love the design and character
30:39 Priceless reaction.
Thx for the vod
Been watching the vods of future chapters on twitch and I've lost count how many times I've forgotten it's a vod and went "why can't I type in chat" when a question is asked
The Nikke fandom is very similar to the FF14. the emotional vampirism is strong in both.
Yeah, funny that I do agree because I play both game. Well because NIKKE are story driven game like FF14, and most ppl ignore the meta like PvP or even rank in solo raid just to watch other streamer react to Red Ash event or Marian dead scene in tutorial.
What do you mean by emotional vampirism?

Trauma bonding. Someone goes through hell and we absorb them into the legion for comfort
Oh wow you've been playing Nikke for a long time. Way longer than me actually
If you mean since the EVA collab, then I say that with a “technically” haha- I wasn’t able to really start playing consistently until around the end of the EVA event if I remember correctly!
Speaking of...in my case I started just short of 3 to 4 days before Helm's banner ended.
Yeah that whole “commander getting all those girls” scene. Those are a small few…of the many. He’s got better game than most protagonists out there and it’s not even close
The fact he cannonically gets laid makes it impossible for most mc's to compete
Man I forgot just how metal Chatterbox was in his debut.
not sure if you already figured this out but pull for cinderella while you can. The way she is right now, she's probably the single best unit in the entire game. even if you already have her, get dupes, she's insane.
Mihara best girl. Love how chill she is. ;)
2:33:20 You hate to see it. RIP best girl's memory.
This is why Nikke stays top 20 in the rankings
Snow to the Rescue.
52:12 would be funny if chatterbox said that with British accent and starts ranting 😂😂
If/when you get Yuni, you should stream her bond story!
And if she needs help moving drinks from the basement you should help her out.
nah the commander got balls sending that in the group chat cause nahhh
Well comparing nikke to mecha animes.(Maybe its mentioned later, currently at 1h mark) I would say Full metal panic. My guess would be that karate scene on youtube made a lot of people watch it myself included.
Oh forgot that Infinite stratos existed too.
just needed to clarify, schwar.... and muv-luv are the same series, but for some reason they omitted the muv-luv name on that one
Oh yeah! I know 😊 I used the different names to tell them apart cause Schwarzesmarken just had a slightly different ~vibe~ to it ya know?
What was chat even talking about? Absolute are scouts it's their job 😂 and yes forehead princess did that shot from plane lol
no se porque estoy viendo este video a las 4:30 am igual no trabajo hoy buen video💪
Oh nice.
The ultimate crossover would be Nikke x Muv-Luv Alternative because they are more or less the same story except all the female characters are erm... "extremely story specific spoilers for MLA so I won't say it but if you kn0w you kn0w."
1:01:11 I can't deny that😅

👀 I don’t recall touching it… I’ll have to look into this!
Iam chapter 34 and wait for New chapters
59:20 so we just not gonna talk bout Infinite Stratos or darling in the franxx???
The mood is slightly different tho 🤔
Not the biggest fan of SAO tbh, but Gun Gale Online had some sick characters for crossovers.
Managed to get the EVA trio and MLB'd Asuka.
Im a simple syuen enjoyer
Watch your back before I touch you
