I still wish we knew how and why Red Hood and Rapi merged at the end of the Red Ash event and what that weird red eyeball machine was before Red Hood disappeared again.
RH just thought herself as a mercenary with no reason to sticking around with her squad that she believes to have their own path but when she met Rapi she found an entirely new purpose she never had on her time with her former squad and pass everything she have and its mostly her skills and strength
My personal theory on this is that Red Hood assimilated her Corruption Code and achieved a state of fusion with it that was similar to Red Shoe's perfected code, but less dangerous for humanity. Thus, Red Hood merged with Rapi and literally corrupted her with herself. It's why Rapi's NIMPH seemingly doesn't work right, because it's been subsumed by Red Hood. It's why Rapi is immune to Red Shoes strain corruption, because Red Hood is already there blocking it out. It's why Rapi transforms so compleatly in Chapter 34 that Seven Dwarves ZERO recognized her biometrics and unlocked immediately, because she underwent her own Second Affection just like Marian.
I am getting a feeling that shift up might introduce some kind of 'evolution' feature in the future for all the new upgraded version of Nikkes in the story. Like you know add some kind of new resources to the existing unit to upgrade them to their new form. I feel that because all the Alt including the SSR version of SR character that we see are not really an upgrade in universe. They are just different outfits with sometimes different weapons. The new forms of Rapi, Mihara and the Absolute squad are specifically mentioned to be stronger and most likely to be their permanent look. I know it might be a bit out there but I think it could be a really cool addition.
@@eshtifatin8114 I understand what you mean... After all, it's been implemented in the other game that I play too; Girls Frontline. We can raise our 4* to 5*, and they even getting some cool change and new skill. It will be Fun if NIKKE can implemented the same mechanic.
I can even imagine "elite" versions of mass-produced Nikkes (R units uplifted to SR tier). Because this doesn't contradict the lore. Rapi was initially a mass-produced Nikke too. E.G. iDoll Sun evolving into iDoll RedSun with red hair and red-trimmed gear. Or Product 23 gets Absolute-style beret and black visor with red trim and red armband and cool automatic shotgun with a drum mag. Or Product 12 gets that black with red trim armour scheme and a minigun instead of her usual MG.
It could be similar to Mash's growth in FGO, where she starts off as a 3-star unit, but grows to a 5-star with different and improved skills as the story unfolds.
How I feel about Rapi? I feel like my heart is on the verge of bursting from how full it feels at the mere thought of this sad, yet brave, persevering, thoughtful and profoundly good-souled fictional cyborg woman. It’s not often I find myself at all enamored with a work of fiction’s leading lady, so I applaud the Shift Up writing team for their work on Rapi. What would I like to see next? Maybe an episode on the Extrinsic squad? This Christmas event is shaping up to be the culmination of a large part of Maiden’s life spanning from Nikke day one to the present day. Her bond story, Dark Hero, and Ice Dragon Saga, together seem to tell a gripping story about her struggle to honor duty, self worth and personal connection, and once we see how it ends once Christmas has passed, I think it would be lovely to see how all the pieces fit together, and how they connect to the larger story as a whole. As always, thank you so much for all your videos and the fantastic work you do on each of them!
She's been my #1 Nikke waifu since I started and have loved the progress in her character... just opening up and loving herself more overtime. Damn I want my SSR Red Riding Rapi soon. I tried my best to keep her on my main squad, but as an SR, I was only to use her for so long into the story.
I am fully on board for the Rapi Succession. Hell, I’m excited to see what happens with the counters and their glow up. Also, did anyone love the ending PV as much as I did? I was so hyped up!!
i haven't caught up with lastest chapter yet. still stuck because of CP too low to continue pushing. but I'm at chapter where Rapi push Nihilister, indivilia, chatter box put of ark and disappear asking commander to look for her. i personally don't mind the spoiler so i keep watching your vid 😅. from the lastest chapter story, aren't team 'counter' should be considered the most elite Nikke in the ark already? form what they're been through no known Nikke in ark could possibly match them.
Umm Pyrrhixz, isn't it too Early to make an Analysis for character Rapi? I mean alright, we know a lot of things about Rapi now. But I think it's more wise to wait until SSR Rapi comes out first, before making a conclusion for all of Rapi as a Character. I mean, maybe SU will have 'something' for us with SSR Rapi, and it will expand her character more.
Chapter 34 ended the saga of Rapi struggling to find herself. It was the end of her first chapter and a step into the next phase of her character arc. This argument can be used against anything I make. Pyrrhixz, why are you covering the goddess squad, why don’t you wait? Why are you theorizing about Liliweiss, just wait. The videos are mainly driven by whatever I find interesting at the time and this video was intended to be released waaaaay back when 33 and 34 came out, but old tales took up all of November
@60tpbrrrrtgaming Well, Rapi can be said the Main Girl in NIKKE. And I'm sure her SSR Version, will not only just an Upgrade version of her SR, but there must be a story behind it. Like how Modernia had a special story behind her Second Affection outfit (Some people even got angry, since Second Affection just becomes a new outfit for Modernia, rather than a new Alter characters, since it's really important for her character development). I'm sure the same can be said for SSR Rapi.
@@Pyrrhixz I mean with Rapi, you will later make another Video if her SSR character drop. But yeah, in the end, it's all up to you. I just voiced my opinion, after all. I like your Lore review about NIKKE, and I will still support you.
@ oh I’m not offended or angry whatsoever. Just the lifecycle of a lore content creator is that we’ll constantly be overlapping with previous content covered. This game is a slow burn story and regardless I’ll be here for it

@@lenieldelatorre480 That's the thing, it's never shown how Red Hood got inside Rapi. She just was for the longest time.

Amiya is a class shifter in Arknights, while she doesn't change from 5 * to a 6* unit, there is precedent for these shifts to happen. Like this idea

Well only if it's sr characters and not ssr's cus that would be unbalanced and broke some plotpoints of the story
Rapi's is the Drill that will Pierce the Heavens!
She literally used Shin Getter-2's GETTER DRILL strike stance lmaooooo
THE ONE AND ONLY
Titan was here (YES !!! Rapi my Girl I have been waiting for this video amazing work as always)

This was a great arc in the story and arc for Rapi.
I hope we get as great an arc for Anis and I wonder what they will do for Neon.
I love Rapi❤
Me ready to fight the next usage of the "Rapi 0 days" meme.
She's been my #1 Nikke waifu since I started and have loved the progress in her character... just opening up and loving herself more overtime. Damn I want my SSR Red Riding Rapi soon. I tried my best to keep her on my main squad, but as an SR, I was only to use her for so long into the story.
Rapi, my OG waifu, finally getting her justice. SSR when, Shiftup?
year-half Anni
Very likely to be a 2.5 anniversary from the story's pace.
Reflect on Cinderella for reference.
MAN I LOVE MY WIFE RAPI 🗣️🗣️🗣️
With the combined power of Rapi, RH, and 7D0, kindly request ShiftUp to equip her with a suitable kit.
I am fully on board for the Rapi Succession. Hell, I’m excited to see what happens with the counters and their glow up. Also, did anyone love the ending PV as much as I did? I was so hyped up!!
Rapi is the best waifu of this game
Still patiently waiting for an SSR Rapi banner annoucement... and still coping for a Lilimommy banner...
Finally my 2nd waffle gets her SSr(first is Mariane, not Modernia xd), preparing everything to get her Full ⭐ ❤
i haven't caught up with lastest chapter yet.
still stuck because of CP too low to continue pushing.
but I'm at chapter where Rapi push Nihilister, indivilia, chatter box put of ark and disappear asking commander to look for her.
i personally don't mind the spoiler so i keep watching your vid 😅.
from the lastest chapter story, aren't team 'counter' should be considered the most elite Nikke in the ark already?
form what they're been through no known Nikke in ark could possibly match them.
Will there be a Nikke chapter 24 summarized
I'm curious about when did Rapi started becoming possessive to the commander

what diff will a character release make other than bond stories?

This was the most shonen thing ever and i loved it for Rapi.
SSR Rapi soon!!!
3:25 Rapi didn't exist? Those "THIGHS" didn't exist?!
Then we are never getting an SSR showcasing their greatest : (
Awesome character development. Pretty mid, design-wise though.
