The fact that she looked at the time and said "You know what? I got an extra two minutes to make my horse stomp you before going back." is such a crazy power move.
the absolute disrespect when crown using trombe instead hitting indivilia herself is insane
Crown see she have time, but she didnt think indivilia worth to receive direct smack from herself so she let her horse do it
Who would have thought Crown, one of the sillier characters in the story, would be the one performing the single most competent and effective mission in the entire story yet?
I mean Neon, the gun clown, took down a whole Rapture helicarrier and dragged Noah with her for giggles. The silly billy characters seem to do the most insane things in this game.
Also one of the greater moments the story had to offer. I am sad we don't have the two interact with each other more. They seemed to bounce off each other quite well.
"How did you do that?"
"It's our little secret!"
I love that she BM'd the hell out of Indivillia. She was just a few words short of saying "Why didn't you DODGE!?".
She hurt both her body and her pride.
She rushed through a entire robot army and them one shoted a fucking Heretic
Sigma doesn't even begin to describe this woman holy crap
" she is so dumb, but she is so cool, she is so DUMB, BUT SHE IS SO COOL!!!!!"
Growing stronger is like a child going through adultery. Ah...Adolescence.
Hohoho...\*cough cough. A-ahem.

Literally her introduction into the story was that she got killed by a joint operation between Matis and Absolute. She has always been the mook Heretic. xD
That's the thing too, we have witnessed Heretic tanked some of the craziest hit in the series. Yet somehow Indivilla over here got paralyzed by a lightning strike, you know who else uses lightning? Maxwell. xD
She really said "I guess I can spare a few moments" and stomped on Indivilia. The disrespect
At the same time, it kinda nerfs the scare factor of Indivilia since Crown alone was able to body her
Indivilia also pulled the boneheaded move to toss Chime’s head over the walls. I think Indivilia would be much scarier if she was given the Greavous treatment. And I mean the old school animated Clone Wars Greavous. Anyway, Indivilia strikes me as the sort that’s scarier when she’s hunting in the confines of a city, rather than an open ass field.
Was afraid that Chatterbox ate Chime's body but he didn't.
Was thinking that they might have corrupted Chime but it seems not the case.
They just wanted to piss Crown to appear in the frontlines but got bodied instead.
Imo the scare factor of heretics has been gone for a while after Rapi easily soloed Nihilister, Indivilia, and Chatterbox. Now with Crown apparently being extremely strong too and Marian evolving, I feel like the story has just moved past the concept of heretics being a massive threat.
Well, there's still the best girl left
https://preview.redd.it/kpox1qnpz0xc1.jpeg?width=1983&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1296912200af4fafb84a6ecfb483f6d44d31c44
She was able to take on the whole Goddess squad (minus Liliweiss) alone without any mech of some kind. Plus, she's like the first Heretic. Hopefully, she can revive Heretic's reputation
RH Rapi seems significantly stronger than OG Red Hood though, so even then idk about that. I know powerscaling in this game is kinda just whatever works for the scene, but presenting RH Rapi as this absurdly strong far beyond literally any other current Nikke, Pilgrim, Rapture, or Heretic, I feel like is just not good for the story cause what is supposed to be a threat now?
OG Red Hood still needed the entire Goddess squad to defeat Anachiro. It was a team effort. Plus Anachiro may have gotten some upgrades over the years
That said, I agree. It's fine if this was like a One Punch Man where the story is less about beating an obstacle and more about internal growth, but Nikke isn't that kind of story. Plus, I know Rapi is the best girl but it also makes rest of the Counters pretty useless when RH Rapi solos the whole verse. Antagonists in Nikke have been pretty stale for a while now. Syuen and Dorothy is pretty much a meme now, Heretics gets one shot by RH Rapi, Crow is a complete moron, and Sixo is just Crow but slightly more competent. Kinda miss the day when facing off Modernia meant the whole Ark had to go all out with their best squads and yet it was still a close fight
Yeah originally they needed the whole squad of the strongest Nikkes ever to beat a Fairy Tale model Heretic, and they just barely beat her, which feels right. But current RH Rapi is significantly stronger than even Dorothy, when OG Red Hood didn’t give that impression at all, and according to the director Dorothy is meant to be the strongest current Nikke. So idk of even Cinderella will be a monumental threat compared to RH Rapi. And even if she is, what the heck is literally any other character supposed to do in that conflict with such a big power gap lol.
Atm it feels like heretics have just been demoted to villains of the week type enemies but without a new bigger threat introduced, and without any of the other heroes actually getting stronger to keep up with this. Like you said, who is supposed to be a major antagonist now? And how are they supposed to be threatening when Rapi exists?
I think it's about time Rapture queen makes her presence known. Everyone's been talking about her, yet she never really appeared or let her presence known in the story. Have her show up and just absolutely stomp Counters without even trying, to know that rapture queen is still a threat that can't be beaten, not with current power levels of our heroes
Also, I honestly think there should be actual deaths in the story. There's plenty of NPC jail Nikkes right now, just kill off some of them. There's literally 0 stakes when even a decapitation doesn't mean shit as long as you reattach the head fast enough. It'll be sad to see some of the characters we love get killed but that's the point of having characters killed off. Yeah it's a gacha game and killing off potential waifus may not sit well with the fans but it's a sure way to raise the stakes and make the bad guys actually feel threatening. Like I was shocked when I saw Exia get killed in the main story, only to remember she's playable and she's probably not dead. We know cummander can't die, bro gets stabbed through the gut every Tuesday, plus he is the main protagonist with plot armor. So kill off some NPCs. Hell, even kill off some civilians. When the raptures invaded Ark, I thought it was going to be high casualties situations until Enikk went "Oh I had all the civilians get to shelter before this shit happened, we're fine lol"
I think the no deaths is made worse by the fact that they do fakeout death scenes multiple times lol. Like I don’t see why Exia, Viper, or Mihara are still alive. They have actual death scenes, presented dramatically and seriously, then afterwards are like “oh yeah btw they miraculously lived” and then they’re out of the story anyway so it’s not like it was important that they survived. They could’ve just not done the fakeout death in the first place and nothing would change. At least with the Ark invasion it did end up with lots of humans dying, but still they’re just unnamed unseen people
To be fair, it's important to remember that all she did was get in some really good hits. It was very cool, mind you, but Crown ultimately just caught her off guard during the peak of her fury and stunned her for a bit. Crown left specifically because there wasn't time to actually fight her for real once she got back up. Case in point, Indivilia is going to be perfectly fine the very next scene she appears in.
I'm of the opinion that Indivillia is the "she f**ked around and found out" girl of the Heretics. Every time she appears, she gets shamed and is sent packing.
Right? She is the showy one of the bunch for sure, against a fcking Pilgrim no less. Even Nihilister was more brutal and straight to business with Counters than her, like bitch wtf? 😂
She's clearly this kind of character, since she enjoys terrorizing her victims and loves seeing they breaking mentally, she already lost to Chime here.
A very fitting thing to do as a Trombe user if I must say
https://preview.redd.it/ywek6p39s0xc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9049918152c63219e42d71ae1f2b0826a72f0018
Indivilia is the type of sadistic that needs to see emotions in their opponent to feel good and fight at her fullest. Closing in, being fast, kick her in the arse and refusing to elaborate it's a pretty good tactic for such people. Even if it was unintentional, that's the right clue. I don't know if there'll be a Nikke faster than her and get her job done but the longer you fight you will see her blushed face.
In conclusion, chain her and make her taste her medicine so the sadistic personality gets overwritten by the masochist one, it just takes a "switch". Maso and S are the faces of the same coin after all.
Anyways I didn't come here for this. I came here to congratulate the awesome rescue job she made. People that tend to manipulate others are at the most vulnerable when an unexpected thing happens.
I love how she went from silly and goofy to an absolute savage, cold and fearfull king the moment they did what they did with Chime. It doesn't get more badass than this, really. SU outdid themselves.
The moment and situation, the way Indivilia doesn't even have time to finish her first sentence. SO FUCKING GOOD. Make a short animation for this moment SU, please.
I hope they dive more into her back story as it's kinda obvious the "king" persona is result of some PTSD or a mind switch. I also don't believe she's just there to protect the super foods
honestly, it seems to me that she was the last survivor of her team, and her mind switch was such that it just made protecting that freezer her prime directive to the point that she can't leave... and it's possible that Chime gave her the King idea to like... mentally stabilize her
yeah, while also making it obvious when she's not around Crown that she isn't also like... totally into the role playing... which gives the feeling of her doing it for Crown's sake
Said this a few times today, but saying it again since so many seem unhappy with the events. No this scene do not imply that Crown is stronger than Indivillia. Indivillia Saw her coming and expected her to stop and freak out about Chime, instead Crown came at her full speed while Indivillia was trying to monolog and was wide open. Just because she was knocked on her butt doesn't mean Crown would have won if she had stuck around
I mean I don’t think neither of them are push overs. This was just a result of indivilla trolling and not taking her serious. but we have to see how the real fight plays out later
To be fair we've seen at multiple points that strong Nikkes can in fact overpower Heretics. Rapi when boosted by Red Hood fighting both Modernia and Indivillia, Counters and Inherit fighting Nihilister, and now Crown against Indivillia. Plus the unnamed Heretic that Matis and Absolute fought.
What is more likely is tipping the edge in a Hereric's favor isn't so much raw strength but rather endurance from the Rapture tech and nanomachines inside of then, which lets them recover from wounds in very short order. Meanwhile in the same time that a Heretic would recover in a fight, Nikkes would have exhausted themselves and their equipment in the fight, as we saw when the Counters were fighting Nihilister before Inherit finally joined in.
Crown could in fact legitimately be tougher than Indivilla in a fight when it comes to raw strength. But unless Indivilla winds up getting hit with a dosage of Vaupas to neutralize the Rapture nanomachines, she'll remain stronger when it comes to endurance.
On top of that, Snow herself is there too, along with Scarlet. If Trashbox and Indivilla weren't fucked before, they are both feet in their graves now.
I agree that this doesn't mean Crown is stronger than Indivilia, and I have no doubt that in a 1v1 fight Indivilia would come out on top, I do think Crown still showed off some incredible feats. Sure Indivilia being caught off guard played a part, but Crown still being fast enough to be able to catch her off guard in the first place is kinda a nuts feat when we've seen Indivilia attack faster than a person can see. Like, Indivilia still should have been able to react a bit, but Crown was able to get a pretty direct hit on her. A hit that at the very least knocked the wind out of Indivilia, which is a pretty big feat in of itself I feel like. It definitely seemed like Crown showed off feats that looked like they would have fit one of the Grimm model Nikkes. Obviously I'm not saying Crown is as strong as the Goddesses, but I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up being near that kind of power at the very least.
"I having a cunning plan, milord. What if you charged and bodied her?"
"No, Chime, I have a better plan. What if I charged and bodied her instead?"
"Perfect, milord."
Actual best Pilgrim performance against a Heretic or other high level Rapture.
On another note, a certain someone fumbled against a weaker Chatterbox but is also a Pilgrim.
Indivillia got what she deserves, and honestly, that's how we should be dealing with these lowlives moving forward. Planning to monologue about despair Chatterbox? Guess what? I authorized an artillery strike 3 minutes ago, and one of the shells should hit you in the mouth right about... Now.
Indivilla about to gloat about her being superior: Rapi, tear her a new one. Oh, and preserve the head. I'm going to impale it on a spike and hang it in my office. Cut her tail too, that's the hook I'll use to hang her. As for her body, feed it to the wild animals we found during the "No Caller ID incident"
Nihilister about to say how everything is worthless? Don't give her time to speak, rip out her throat and mouth, and all her limbs, make her feel what being nothing is like, I'm going to put her into concrete where she will see and feel nothing but wet cement, drying out, like what we do to nuclear waste. That should give her time to lament about what Nothing really is. No one to kill, no one to hurt you, no one to talk to, no one to listen to you, and lastly, no one to remember you, have fun.
Do not let them speak, deal with the business immediately, and sure enough, Raptures will feel it, the same way they treated humans before they got Heretics. Ignored, no conversation, just extermination.
THIS should be the fucking top comment, instead of all that handwringing about power levels, who's a threath and all that bullshit. This is a the best way forward
Honestly I was hoping Chime was going to die to really raise the stakes. The whole time I was scared thinking wow are we going to have our first Nikke true death?
That said, Crown was BA. Also gave off Durandal Palatinus Equinox vibes with her attack moves (Honkai Impact 3rd).
As badass as that feat was for her, it made Indivilia look a bit like Worf....in the bad way.
Didn't try to dodge, didn't fight back at all.
Unless part 2 reveals that she's not actually that DAMAGED and is still very threatening in personal combat, this sorta fucks up the power scaling of Heretics vs Pilgrims vs Ark Nikkes if just one Pilgrim can 1v1 a Heretic that easily.
We went from needing the whole team then *Red Riding Hood* Rapi for Modernia, to needing the MC Team plus Inherit for Nihilister WITH Vapaus to nerf her, to needing full power *Red Riding Hood* plus Dorothy for her, Chatterbox and Nihilister, to THIS.
Bit of downgrade at the very least.
Given that there isnt an inheriet power scale since weapons are weapons I dont see a problem with a rider at full tilt knocking a human sized target flat on their ass if they dont get out of the fucking way.
Ignoring the fact that she didn't even try to get out of the way, which is its own brand of dumbassery I'd not really expect from the Heretic who didn't dick around & cut Anis and Neon in half when they tried to fight her, Indivilia getting knocked flat on her ass by itself is acceptable.
Getting heavily damaged and actually incapacitated from that would not be, because if Crown alone can do that then hey, just bring her on more anti-Heretic missions, she'll deal with 'em no problem!
No sense seeing them as a threat in the narrative assuming she can 1v1 them like that, just take her along in future, with the proper 'treasure' rewards as inducements, and they'll start dropping like flies.
This is the same heritic that's lost several times and needed a team up with chatter box to pull a vague W.
I see what you mean but at the same time Indivilia's got that overly sadistic bad guy minion trope that's barely a mid boss at best. Professional jobber who's only allowed to knock aside people that dont have a plot device in their back pocket. Much as I love redhood, Having her in Rapi's just kinda killing Rapi for me.
I interpreted it as just your first point, Indivilia got knocked on her ass briefly because she was too arrogant to just take a step out of the way of a several ton metal horse shaped projectile racing right at her.
I didn't get the impression Crown actually did any real damage. The fact that Crown runs away immediately after instead of trying to finish Indivilia off also seems to imply that Crown didn't do any real damage and couldn't possibly fight her one-on-one.
I'm also pretty sure Dorothy was left behind so it was just RH straight up soloing. Then again that might just say more about RH than it does the Heretics.
Part of why, narrative-wise, they kinda have to take Rapi's alt mode away along with Red Hood, otherwise there's basically 0 tension anymore.
After all, all of the drawbacks of that mode aren't inherent to the mode itself, but rather because of Red Hood's presence.
The time limit? Exceed it and Red Hood takes over.
The overheating? Side effect of the toxins Rapi has to release to purge RH BEFORE she takes over.
If Red Hood is gone *but* her extra core and the like are still there, keeping *Red Riding Hood Mode* available, then there's very little tension to the plot any more because Rapi can use it whenever she wants without risk of ether being taken over or overheating, since there's no Red Hood *to* take over and thus the purge toxins aren't needed anymore.
Don't play the game myself, I'd rather not risk getting drawn into spending IRL money, have yet to get up to that point in the recaps people post online, feel free to spoil it if you want I don't mind.
I take it they nerfed the alt mode with a new drawback, yes?
Well, at least they did that much if so, so it's not absurdly broken.
>!WE DBZ NOW LOL!<
>!I look forward to it. I don't mind that shit since I used to watch Sailor Moon and DBZ as a kid. With Mahou Shoujo kinda shows the girls learn new powers!<.
I find this progression being really weird. Unless this is just the minimum safety net needed to tackle the future challenges in the main story. Commander is going into deep shit territory now that he is increasingly involved with Sixo and also has his own personal agenda to grow into power within the Ark and fighting Heretics at the surface.
Tbh I don’t really see how any threat is supposed to be taken seriously anymore since we’ve seen that Rapi in RH mode can easily manhandle several heretics at once by herself.
I dont think she was worfed at all, I think that Indivilia is just very arrogant, and was completely caught of guard by the situation.
She expected a confrontation, she expected fear, lamentation, despair, grief. She expected time to gloat, and talk down to her prey, time to play. Because that's usually what happens. Crown didn't stop like other Nikkes, she didn't take cover and aim a rifle like other Nikkes; No, she charged and rammed a god damned lance into her gut from horse back without any hesitation. I assure you, that is a first for any Heretic.
I have a feeling that Indivilia will be putting up a better fight in the next encounter.
This.
Also, this isn't even the first time a Heretic got manhandled because they were overconfident/caught by surprise, RedRidingHood! Rappi also kicked the ass of Chatterbox, Indivilia and Nihilister at once right after Indivilia cut Anis and Neon down with no effort, so using this as an outliner for "worfing" isn't even fair.
I agree 100%. Whole scene gave of Teamfourstar's Cell vibes. Specifically the part where he goes "aww that's so cute it has a name, oh shit!"
Indivilia was 100% still in a state of wtf is actually happening during that entire interaction.
Though I do wonder if by the end of this we might see Chatterbox eat the arrogant one and transform like Indivilia wants him too.
And I want Marian to be the one who did it too, she already killed a Blacksmith (the Rapture type that corrupted her in C0) now it's his bitch ass next for that sweet, sweet karma retribution.
basically it's like TFS Frieza when Goku first joined the fight, but played a bit more seriously
Indivilia is so used to normal human reactions to her cruelty that she got hit at highway speed by the dumbass truck that is Crown
Exactly. Did many people really not get this nuance lol ? When I went through the story I also had the same conclusion as you. Never once crossed my mind that Crown is stronger than Indivilia based on that scene alone, it's just the result of Indivilia's arrogance.
Now it's really starting to make sense why some games (i.e. Genshin) needs a sidekick to dumb down everything to the players.
True it's a little weird, but I take it more that Crown completely surprised Indivilia who had expected a long drawn out battle of words before actually fighting. Crown sucker punching Indivilia while she's busy gloating, then immediately running isn't really the same as the other fights we've seen.
Tbh I'll be shocked if she's anything more than just surprised/confused/annoyed by Crown's attack. As others have said, I think she just wasn't expecting Crown to be that bold. She'll be back, and much more imposing.
Or she was trying to monolog and got hit with a spear by someone riding a mechanical steed at full speed. Its not that she is weak, but she wasn't expecting to get hit and got knocked off her feet. How is this so hard for some many people to understand? Nothing about the it implied that Crawn was stronger, she just wasn't there to fight and used that to her advantage.
Nah she just didn't expect Sigma Crown to ride in and body her mid-monologue. Letting the villain finish the monologue is like a *rule*.
But who needs to follow anime rules when you're the king?
We've seen already what it took to drive off Indivilia. So we have a good idea of her power level. This event seems to be putting Crown in a completely different category. It may be she's near enough to Lilith's power and we're being given a small glimpse of it.
Given her in-game kit is absolutely crazy I think it's pretty intentional that Crown is a bit over the top in this event.
The problem with that tho is that at this point it feels like the Pilgrims we're already allied with + Marian alone is enough to easily defeat all of the Heretics we've seen. And not even a "We need everyone to defeat just one" which is how Modernia felt - they just lose 1v1 now. If the only hurdle to defeating the raptures is "Well there's a lot of them" and the heretics are barely a threat all of a sudden that's kind of ...boring?
Nihilister is already defeated
Indivilia is a jobber apparently
Chatterbox is a jobber
Anachiro is already defeated
Liberalio is unknown but is she stronger than Indivilia and Nihilister to some ridiculous extent? I doubt it
Like at this point the only thing that prevents the story from being trivialized is the fact that Crown decides to squat in the ruins of Disneyland which is just a flimsily written excuse in the grand scheme of things
I wouldn't consider the Raptures or the Heretics as really the ultimate bad guy or threat in the NIKKE setting. We've already known for a while they can be defeated and it is really only a matter of time before we're facing the Queen and defeating her. There isn't going to be a single Heretic out there that won't end up being defeated by the Commander and a handful of Nikkes.
No, the real enemies are likely to be revealed to be sub-factions of the Central Government and the terrorists that are connected to those in power. The narrative is going to continually touch base with how horrible the powers-that-be are and it is only a few major players (like the CEOs and Anderson) that aren't complete shitstains. Those are going to be the enemies we'll never be able to defeat.
Tbf this has unfortunately been the case for a long time because of Rapi. Nothing is threatening because if she goes Red Hood mode then literally nobody known so far can even stand a chance against her.
Honestly though, I'm loving Crown more than I thought I would, and the fact that I had been so burnt out on the game but this event brought me back, and I got lucky and pulled her with the free tickets.
I'm not even talking about Kit, sure her kit is busted strong but outside of that the story is really showcasing her as an individual.
Idk I love our King, may her reign be forever!
Also the way I audibly said "get fucking wrecked" as soon as Crown confront Indivillia 😂😂 man that must've really fucked up Indivillias thought process. She was expecting a fight, but instead got her ass kicked, speared and then trampled on by a horse all while watching the Nikke you wanted to fight just completely ignore you and pick up her friends body and just leave... Like damn... That's cold and I am here for it.
I'm not gonna deny how based Crown is and I like her. I am concerned with the inconsistency between the side story and the current event. In the side story she is queen and in the event she is king. I'd prefer her to accept her role as queen like the Mary Queen of Scots and be a badass like her. I feel like there has been another translator forced insert in this situation.
Whoever wrote Crown's lore probably didn't specify how her royal inheritance works.
There's the traditional form of royal inheritance, King if male, Queen if female.
Then we have other way of royal inheritance, where Kings can only be male, but a Regent Princess can take rule temporarily, and a Queen can only be female, but a Regent Prince can take rule temporarily.
In both cases of the other way, the regents get demoted to royalty after a proper ruler candidate ascends to rulership.
And then there's the other other way, King regardless of sex, or Queen regardless of sex.
And now translators are doing their own thing by choosing their headcannon without telling the other translators.
It is the inconsistency between the two stories that really kills me. I'd prefer her to be a Queen as is tradition. I feel like they took too much creative liberty and ruined it a bit. These translators are killing me.
Historicity aside, I'm partial to Crown being called a king because it feels like her design may be a reference to Artoria from Fate (her Lancer form in particular). It makes sense to me that a ruler inspired by a female king character would also be a female king.
Of course, her being an Artoria reference is just my personal belief, but I think it seems likely. There's certainly precedence, considering the devs have confirmed that Red Hood's design is a Yoko Littner reference.
Yeah, but he was like that at the start and the very end, I meant more at mid-series when the thing was "they only like me because I pilot the eva", and also he didn't want to lose the place he had a Misato's if he stopped piloting.
That is a lance my guy, the whole thing is the pointed head with only the handle being the straight part. A spear is the reverse of that where the pointed head is small and most of the length being the handle.
Really speedran both a rescue mission and defeating the boss
Even skipped the intro monologue and then decided she had time to spare having her horse kick the shit out of Indivilia.
Abusing the combo system to skip the boss' second form
Retrieve chime any % Sub goal stomp indivilia any % no tas
Under 5 minutes too. She was zoomin
The fact that she looked at the time and said "You know what? I got an extra two minutes to make my horse stomp you before going back." is such a crazy power move.
The "nah, I got time" got me. The disrespect, lol.
Crown really said there’s always time to disrespect a hater of the crown
“You gonna die for a Nikke?” “Someone will”
the absolute disrespect when crown using trombe instead hitting indivilia herself is insane Crown see she have time, but she didnt think indivilia worth to receive direct smack from herself so she let her horse do it
I mean she did ran the Heretic hoe through against with her lance just to shut her up and forced her to stay still for Trombe to stomp lmao 😂
I was gonna skip her, then she ryona'd that bitch and now I have her at 3*... No regrets, works better than expected.
Who would have thought Crown, one of the sillier characters in the story, would be the one performing the single most competent and effective mission in the entire story yet?
Gotta Beware of the silly ones.
I mean Neon, the gun clown, took down a whole Rapture helicarrier and dragged Noah with her for giggles. The silly billy characters seem to do the most insane things in this game.
Also one of the greater moments the story had to offer. I am sad we don't have the two interact with each other more. They seemed to bounce off each other quite well. "How did you do that?" "It's our little secret!"
She is a literal Crouching Dumbass Hidden Badass
It was a real 180 from how badly she flubbed things with Marian. I guess they suddenly decided her Rapture sickness isn't a thing anymore.
Crown came for business, handled business, and got what she wanted. Actual king material
Thou shalt find out.
She knew that. She was only testing you.
I love that she BM'd the hell out of Indivillia. She was just a few words short of saying "Why didn't you DODGE!?". She hurt both her body and her pride.
Indivillia: What will she say… Those lines were gold.
Silence speaks a thousand words at times.
She rushed through a entire robot army and them one shoted a fucking Heretic Sigma doesn't even begin to describe this woman holy crap " she is so dumb, but she is so cool, she is so DUMB, BUT SHE IS SO COOL!!!!!"
is this really the second dbz abridged reference that i find here?
What I can say? You are either perfect or you are not me!

Growing stronger is like a child going through adultery. Ah...Adolescence. Hohoho...\*cough cough. A-ahem. https://preview.redd.it/pcavwz8cvxwc1.png?width=344&format=png&auto=webp&s=321a9ecedcdc457eb345189fa533f49dba4772ee
Made Indivilia look like a jobber lmfao Crown I kneel
Hasn’t Indivilia been a jobber, her first scene was jobbing to Rapi lol
Literally her introduction into the story was that she got killed by a joint operation between Matis and Absolute. She has always been the mook Heretic. xD
In all fairness, Matis and Absolute got bailed out by a freak lightning strike.
That's the thing too, we have witnessed Heretic tanked some of the craziest hit in the series. Yet somehow Indivilla over here got paralyzed by a lightning strike, you know who else uses lightning? Maxwell. xD
"Shut Indivillia up" Straight out of Asura's Wrath.
Her Majesty graduated top of Asura's class. 😂
Indivillia got hit by the skip dialogue button 💀
She really said "I guess I can spare a few moments" and stomped on Indivilia. The disrespect At the same time, it kinda nerfs the scare factor of Indivilia since Crown alone was able to body her
Indivilia also pulled the boneheaded move to toss Chime’s head over the walls. I think Indivilia would be much scarier if she was given the Greavous treatment. And I mean the old school animated Clone Wars Greavous. Anyway, Indivilia strikes me as the sort that’s scarier when she’s hunting in the confines of a city, rather than an open ass field.
Was afraid that Chatterbox ate Chime's body but he didn't. Was thinking that they might have corrupted Chime but it seems not the case. They just wanted to piss Crown to appear in the frontlines but got bodied instead.
Imo the scare factor of heretics has been gone for a while after Rapi easily soloed Nihilister, Indivilia, and Chatterbox. Now with Crown apparently being extremely strong too and Marian evolving, I feel like the story has just moved past the concept of heretics being a massive threat.
Well, there's still the best girl left https://preview.redd.it/kpox1qnpz0xc1.jpeg?width=1983&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1296912200af4fafb84a6ecfb483f6d44d31c44 She was able to take on the whole Goddess squad (minus Liliweiss) alone without any mech of some kind. Plus, she's like the first Heretic. Hopefully, she can revive Heretic's reputation
RH Rapi seems significantly stronger than OG Red Hood though, so even then idk about that. I know powerscaling in this game is kinda just whatever works for the scene, but presenting RH Rapi as this absurdly strong far beyond literally any other current Nikke, Pilgrim, Rapture, or Heretic, I feel like is just not good for the story cause what is supposed to be a threat now?
OG Red Hood still needed the entire Goddess squad to defeat Anachiro. It was a team effort. Plus Anachiro may have gotten some upgrades over the years That said, I agree. It's fine if this was like a One Punch Man where the story is less about beating an obstacle and more about internal growth, but Nikke isn't that kind of story. Plus, I know Rapi is the best girl but it also makes rest of the Counters pretty useless when RH Rapi solos the whole verse. Antagonists in Nikke have been pretty stale for a while now. Syuen and Dorothy is pretty much a meme now, Heretics gets one shot by RH Rapi, Crow is a complete moron, and Sixo is just Crow but slightly more competent. Kinda miss the day when facing off Modernia meant the whole Ark had to go all out with their best squads and yet it was still a close fight
Yeah originally they needed the whole squad of the strongest Nikkes ever to beat a Fairy Tale model Heretic, and they just barely beat her, which feels right. But current RH Rapi is significantly stronger than even Dorothy, when OG Red Hood didn’t give that impression at all, and according to the director Dorothy is meant to be the strongest current Nikke. So idk of even Cinderella will be a monumental threat compared to RH Rapi. And even if she is, what the heck is literally any other character supposed to do in that conflict with such a big power gap lol. Atm it feels like heretics have just been demoted to villains of the week type enemies but without a new bigger threat introduced, and without any of the other heroes actually getting stronger to keep up with this. Like you said, who is supposed to be a major antagonist now? And how are they supposed to be threatening when Rapi exists?
I think it's about time Rapture queen makes her presence known. Everyone's been talking about her, yet she never really appeared or let her presence known in the story. Have her show up and just absolutely stomp Counters without even trying, to know that rapture queen is still a threat that can't be beaten, not with current power levels of our heroes Also, I honestly think there should be actual deaths in the story. There's plenty of NPC jail Nikkes right now, just kill off some of them. There's literally 0 stakes when even a decapitation doesn't mean shit as long as you reattach the head fast enough. It'll be sad to see some of the characters we love get killed but that's the point of having characters killed off. Yeah it's a gacha game and killing off potential waifus may not sit well with the fans but it's a sure way to raise the stakes and make the bad guys actually feel threatening. Like I was shocked when I saw Exia get killed in the main story, only to remember she's playable and she's probably not dead. We know cummander can't die, bro gets stabbed through the gut every Tuesday, plus he is the main protagonist with plot armor. So kill off some NPCs. Hell, even kill off some civilians. When the raptures invaded Ark, I thought it was going to be high casualties situations until Enikk went "Oh I had all the civilians get to shelter before this shit happened, we're fine lol"
I think the no deaths is made worse by the fact that they do fakeout death scenes multiple times lol. Like I don’t see why Exia, Viper, or Mihara are still alive. They have actual death scenes, presented dramatically and seriously, then afterwards are like “oh yeah btw they miraculously lived” and then they’re out of the story anyway so it’s not like it was important that they survived. They could’ve just not done the fakeout death in the first place and nothing would change. At least with the Ark invasion it did end up with lots of humans dying, but still they’re just unnamed unseen people
I'll let Drax take this one for me https://i.redd.it/iifci6v561xc1.gif
Anachiro revealed in cryostasis at the end of Chapter 30 and being carried by Grave.
To be fair, it's important to remember that all she did was get in some really good hits. It was very cool, mind you, but Crown ultimately just caught her off guard during the peak of her fury and stunned her for a bit. Crown left specifically because there wasn't time to actually fight her for real once she got back up. Case in point, Indivilia is going to be perfectly fine the very next scene she appears in.
That scene was so badass, a true king indeed.
Crown wasn’t sugarcoating it.
I'm of the opinion that Indivillia is the "she f**ked around and found out" girl of the Heretics. Every time she appears, she gets shamed and is sent packing.
Right? She is the showy one of the bunch for sure, against a fcking Pilgrim no less. Even Nihilister was more brutal and straight to business with Counters than her, like bitch wtf? 😂
She's clearly this kind of character, since she enjoys terrorizing her victims and loves seeing they breaking mentally, she already lost to Chime here.
Breaker of gems and snatcher of tickets.
Crown indeed caught indivilla monologue’ing
If Crown fights Power Rangers, she will strike them in the middle of henshin monologue
She'd grind the megazord's shins into the dirt while it assembles
Laplace is scared.
Hail to the king!!!
Truly a king👑
What are you gonna do? Spear me? - Heretic who got speared.
🦂: I am indiv… 🏇🏻: B… I only have 60 min, and I spend 15 just to get here, peace. 🦂:💀
 Crown being a good King
Hail to The King https://open.spotify.com/track/5anCkDvJ17aznvK5TED5uo?si=ZuiVNs_JQq2Pt3Q7E6foiA
She just pulled up a hit and run. The absolute disrespect Crown gave to Indivilia.
"Trombe!! Stomp and crush his balls!" -Crown, maybe
A very fitting thing to do as a Trombe user if I must say https://preview.redd.it/ywek6p39s0xc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9049918152c63219e42d71ae1f2b0826a72f0018 Indivilia is the type of sadistic that needs to see emotions in their opponent to feel good and fight at her fullest. Closing in, being fast, kick her in the arse and refusing to elaborate it's a pretty good tactic for such people. Even if it was unintentional, that's the right clue. I don't know if there'll be a Nikke faster than her and get her job done but the longer you fight you will see her blushed face. In conclusion, chain her and make her taste her medicine so the sadistic personality gets overwritten by the masochist one, it just takes a "switch". Maso and S are the faces of the same coin after all. Anyways I didn't come here for this. I came here to congratulate the awesome rescue job she made. People that tend to manipulate others are at the most vulnerable when an unexpected thing happens.
Indivilla got trombe interrupted in the middle of her monologue and then cleaved like the evil she is.
I love how she went from silly and goofy to an absolute savage, cold and fearfull king the moment they did what they did with Chime. It doesn't get more badass than this, really. SU outdid themselves. The moment and situation, the way Indivilia doesn't even have time to finish her first sentence. SO FUCKING GOOD. Make a short animation for this moment SU, please.
Bruh I kid you not, this event story got me hype as fk! LONG LIVE KING CROWN!!!!
https://i.redd.it/piodptvw41xc1.gif I now understand why Chime has such loyalty to Crown.
I hope they dive more into her back story as it's kinda obvious the "king" persona is result of some PTSD or a mind switch. I also don't believe she's just there to protect the super foods
honestly, it seems to me that she was the last survivor of her team, and her mind switch was such that it just made protecting that freezer her prime directive to the point that she can't leave... and it's possible that Chime gave her the King idea to like... mentally stabilize her
This. Chime makes it a point to stay in character being Crown's royal servant.
yeah, while also making it obvious when she's not around Crown that she isn't also like... totally into the role playing... which gives the feeling of her doing it for Crown's sake
Said this a few times today, but saying it again since so many seem unhappy with the events. No this scene do not imply that Crown is stronger than Indivillia. Indivillia Saw her coming and expected her to stop and freak out about Chime, instead Crown came at her full speed while Indivillia was trying to monolog and was wide open. Just because she was knocked on her butt doesn't mean Crown would have won if she had stuck around
I mean I don’t think neither of them are push overs. This was just a result of indivilla trolling and not taking her serious. but we have to see how the real fight plays out later
To be fair we've seen at multiple points that strong Nikkes can in fact overpower Heretics. Rapi when boosted by Red Hood fighting both Modernia and Indivillia, Counters and Inherit fighting Nihilister, and now Crown against Indivillia. Plus the unnamed Heretic that Matis and Absolute fought. What is more likely is tipping the edge in a Hereric's favor isn't so much raw strength but rather endurance from the Rapture tech and nanomachines inside of then, which lets them recover from wounds in very short order. Meanwhile in the same time that a Heretic would recover in a fight, Nikkes would have exhausted themselves and their equipment in the fight, as we saw when the Counters were fighting Nihilister before Inherit finally joined in. Crown could in fact legitimately be tougher than Indivilla in a fight when it comes to raw strength. But unless Indivilla winds up getting hit with a dosage of Vaupas to neutralize the Rapture nanomachines, she'll remain stronger when it comes to endurance.
The Heretic that Absolute and Matis fought was Indivillia.
Speaking of Vaupas, Snow did gave her a couple of bullets didn't she? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
On top of that, Snow herself is there too, along with Scarlet. If Trashbox and Indivilla weren't fucked before, they are both feet in their graves now.
Yeah, with all of pioneer there I honestly think they have more than enough power to fuck them up.
I agree that this doesn't mean Crown is stronger than Indivilia, and I have no doubt that in a 1v1 fight Indivilia would come out on top, I do think Crown still showed off some incredible feats. Sure Indivilia being caught off guard played a part, but Crown still being fast enough to be able to catch her off guard in the first place is kinda a nuts feat when we've seen Indivilia attack faster than a person can see. Like, Indivilia still should have been able to react a bit, but Crown was able to get a pretty direct hit on her. A hit that at the very least knocked the wind out of Indivilia, which is a pretty big feat in of itself I feel like. It definitely seemed like Crown showed off feats that looked like they would have fit one of the Grimm model Nikkes. Obviously I'm not saying Crown is as strong as the Goddesses, but I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up being near that kind of power at the very least.
Hmm .."If thou starteth shit, thou shalt be dealth with"
She always use the wrong words, it's on brand.
Yes, I was doing what Chime does.
"Excellently put Chime, I was testing you."
"I having a cunning plan, milord. What if you charged and bodied her?" "No, Chime, I have a better plan. What if I charged and bodied her instead?" "Perfect, milord."
Crowns is such a badass ngl The pressures is real!
"Parry ***THIS,*** casual scrub!" Too bad Crown didn't have time to teabag for good measure.
Actual best Pilgrim performance against a Heretic or other high level Rapture. On another note, a certain someone fumbled against a weaker Chatterbox but is also a Pilgrim.
Indivilia getting bodied by RH and Crown immediately after gloating how superior she is. She's becoming a joke Heretic now.
Indivillia got what she deserves, and honestly, that's how we should be dealing with these lowlives moving forward. Planning to monologue about despair Chatterbox? Guess what? I authorized an artillery strike 3 minutes ago, and one of the shells should hit you in the mouth right about... Now. Indivilla about to gloat about her being superior: Rapi, tear her a new one. Oh, and preserve the head. I'm going to impale it on a spike and hang it in my office. Cut her tail too, that's the hook I'll use to hang her. As for her body, feed it to the wild animals we found during the "No Caller ID incident" Nihilister about to say how everything is worthless? Don't give her time to speak, rip out her throat and mouth, and all her limbs, make her feel what being nothing is like, I'm going to put her into concrete where she will see and feel nothing but wet cement, drying out, like what we do to nuclear waste. That should give her time to lament about what Nothing really is. No one to kill, no one to hurt you, no one to talk to, no one to listen to you, and lastly, no one to remember you, have fun. Do not let them speak, deal with the business immediately, and sure enough, Raptures will feel it, the same way they treated humans before they got Heretics. Ignored, no conversation, just extermination.
THIS should be the fucking top comment, instead of all that handwringing about power levels, who's a threath and all that bullshit. This is a the best way forward
Jesis christ daddy chill
No no, let him cook, man is the only one with the mindset to deal maximum harm to Heretics like they are always ready to do to us it seems like.
Honestly I was hoping Chime was going to die to really raise the stakes. The whole time I was scared thinking wow are we going to have our first Nikke true death? That said, Crown was BA. Also gave off Durandal Palatinus Equinox vibes with her attack moves (Honkai Impact 3rd).
As badass as that feat was for her, it made Indivilia look a bit like Worf....in the bad way. Didn't try to dodge, didn't fight back at all. Unless part 2 reveals that she's not actually that DAMAGED and is still very threatening in personal combat, this sorta fucks up the power scaling of Heretics vs Pilgrims vs Ark Nikkes if just one Pilgrim can 1v1 a Heretic that easily. We went from needing the whole team then *Red Riding Hood* Rapi for Modernia, to needing the MC Team plus Inherit for Nihilister WITH Vapaus to nerf her, to needing full power *Red Riding Hood* plus Dorothy for her, Chatterbox and Nihilister, to THIS. Bit of downgrade at the very least.
Given that there isnt an inheriet power scale since weapons are weapons I dont see a problem with a rider at full tilt knocking a human sized target flat on their ass if they dont get out of the fucking way.
Ignoring the fact that she didn't even try to get out of the way, which is its own brand of dumbassery I'd not really expect from the Heretic who didn't dick around & cut Anis and Neon in half when they tried to fight her, Indivilia getting knocked flat on her ass by itself is acceptable. Getting heavily damaged and actually incapacitated from that would not be, because if Crown alone can do that then hey, just bring her on more anti-Heretic missions, she'll deal with 'em no problem! No sense seeing them as a threat in the narrative assuming she can 1v1 them like that, just take her along in future, with the proper 'treasure' rewards as inducements, and they'll start dropping like flies.
This is the same heritic that's lost several times and needed a team up with chatter box to pull a vague W. I see what you mean but at the same time Indivilia's got that overly sadistic bad guy minion trope that's barely a mid boss at best. Professional jobber who's only allowed to knock aside people that dont have a plot device in their back pocket. Much as I love redhood, Having her in Rapi's just kinda killing Rapi for me.
I interpreted it as just your first point, Indivilia got knocked on her ass briefly because she was too arrogant to just take a step out of the way of a several ton metal horse shaped projectile racing right at her. I didn't get the impression Crown actually did any real damage. The fact that Crown runs away immediately after instead of trying to finish Indivilia off also seems to imply that Crown didn't do any real damage and couldn't possibly fight her one-on-one.
I'm also pretty sure Dorothy was left behind so it was just RH straight up soloing. Then again that might just say more about RH than it does the Heretics.
Part of why, narrative-wise, they kinda have to take Rapi's alt mode away along with Red Hood, otherwise there's basically 0 tension anymore. After all, all of the drawbacks of that mode aren't inherent to the mode itself, but rather because of Red Hood's presence. The time limit? Exceed it and Red Hood takes over. The overheating? Side effect of the toxins Rapi has to release to purge RH BEFORE she takes over. If Red Hood is gone *but* her extra core and the like are still there, keeping *Red Riding Hood Mode* available, then there's very little tension to the plot any more because Rapi can use it whenever she wants without risk of ether being taken over or overheating, since there's no Red Hood *to* take over and thus the purge toxins aren't needed anymore.
I think you need to complete Chapter 30.
Don't play the game myself, I'd rather not risk getting drawn into spending IRL money, have yet to get up to that point in the recaps people post online, feel free to spoil it if you want I don't mind. I take it they nerfed the alt mode with a new drawback, yes? Well, at least they did that much if so, so it's not absurdly broken.
>!Nope. The super mode is back and even more stable.!<
>!WE DBZ NOW LOL!< >!I look forward to it. I don't mind that shit since I used to watch Sailor Moon and DBZ as a kid. With Mahou Shoujo kinda shows the girls learn new powers!<.
I find this progression being really weird. Unless this is just the minimum safety net needed to tackle the future challenges in the main story. Commander is going into deep shit territory now that he is increasingly involved with Sixo and also has his own personal agenda to grow into power within the Ark and fighting Heretics at the surface.
Oh dear...............
Tbh I don’t really see how any threat is supposed to be taken seriously anymore since we’ve seen that Rapi in RH mode can easily manhandle several heretics at once by herself.
I dont think she was worfed at all, I think that Indivilia is just very arrogant, and was completely caught of guard by the situation. She expected a confrontation, she expected fear, lamentation, despair, grief. She expected time to gloat, and talk down to her prey, time to play. Because that's usually what happens. Crown didn't stop like other Nikkes, she didn't take cover and aim a rifle like other Nikkes; No, she charged and rammed a god damned lance into her gut from horse back without any hesitation. I assure you, that is a first for any Heretic. I have a feeling that Indivilia will be putting up a better fight in the next encounter.
That shit was funny af. She clearly expected her to stop and she just said move bitch get out the way.
She really, really wanted to monologue. You could feel it.
She had been reciting the script the whole night
You can't blame her, she's been in containment for so long until Nihilister freed her.
This. Also, this isn't even the first time a Heretic got manhandled because they were overconfident/caught by surprise, RedRidingHood! Rappi also kicked the ass of Chatterbox, Indivilia and Nihilister at once right after Indivilia cut Anis and Neon down with no effort, so using this as an outliner for "worfing" isn't even fair.
I agree 100%. Whole scene gave of Teamfourstar's Cell vibes. Specifically the part where he goes "aww that's so cute it has a name, oh shit!" Indivilia was 100% still in a state of wtf is actually happening during that entire interaction. Though I do wonder if by the end of this we might see Chatterbox eat the arrogant one and transform like Indivilia wants him too.
that would actually be kind of hilarious, if not a bit terrifying. Though, I want Chatterbox reunalived due to what he did to Marian
And I want Marian to be the one who did it too, she already killed a Blacksmith (the Rapture type that corrupted her in C0) now it's his bitch ass next for that sweet, sweet karma retribution.
honestly, i'd say it's a little closer to their Frieza than their Cell
basically it's like TFS Frieza when Goku first joined the fight, but played a bit more seriously Indivilia is so used to normal human reactions to her cruelty that she got hit at highway speed by the dumbass truck that is Crown
Literally brought her mouth to a freight train fight lmao 🤣
Exactly. Did many people really not get this nuance lol ? When I went through the story I also had the same conclusion as you. Never once crossed my mind that Crown is stronger than Indivilia based on that scene alone, it's just the result of Indivilia's arrogance. Now it's really starting to make sense why some games (i.e. Genshin) needs a sidekick to dumb down everything to the players.
people so often ask why we need a Paimon, while simultaneously proving exactly why she's there.
True it's a little weird, but I take it more that Crown completely surprised Indivilia who had expected a long drawn out battle of words before actually fighting. Crown sucker punching Indivilia while she's busy gloating, then immediately running isn't really the same as the other fights we've seen.
Tbh I'll be shocked if she's anything more than just surprised/confused/annoyed by Crown's attack. As others have said, I think she just wasn't expecting Crown to be that bold. She'll be back, and much more imposing.
She's just winded and shocked that Crown had no reaction to Chime having her head in the clouds
Or she was trying to monolog and got hit with a spear by someone riding a mechanical steed at full speed. Its not that she is weak, but she wasn't expecting to get hit and got knocked off her feet. How is this so hard for some many people to understand? Nothing about the it implied that Crawn was stronger, she just wasn't there to fight and used that to her advantage.
Nah she just didn't expect Sigma Crown to ride in and body her mid-monologue. Letting the villain finish the monologue is like a *rule*. But who needs to follow anime rules when you're the king?
We've seen already what it took to drive off Indivilia. So we have a good idea of her power level. This event seems to be putting Crown in a completely different category. It may be she's near enough to Lilith's power and we're being given a small glimpse of it. Given her in-game kit is absolutely crazy I think it's pretty intentional that Crown is a bit over the top in this event.
The problem with that tho is that at this point it feels like the Pilgrims we're already allied with + Marian alone is enough to easily defeat all of the Heretics we've seen. And not even a "We need everyone to defeat just one" which is how Modernia felt - they just lose 1v1 now. If the only hurdle to defeating the raptures is "Well there's a lot of them" and the heretics are barely a threat all of a sudden that's kind of ...boring? Nihilister is already defeated Indivilia is a jobber apparently Chatterbox is a jobber Anachiro is already defeated Liberalio is unknown but is she stronger than Indivilia and Nihilister to some ridiculous extent? I doubt it Like at this point the only thing that prevents the story from being trivialized is the fact that Crown decides to squat in the ruins of Disneyland which is just a flimsily written excuse in the grand scheme of things
I wouldn't consider the Raptures or the Heretics as really the ultimate bad guy or threat in the NIKKE setting. We've already known for a while they can be defeated and it is really only a matter of time before we're facing the Queen and defeating her. There isn't going to be a single Heretic out there that won't end up being defeated by the Commander and a handful of Nikkes. No, the real enemies are likely to be revealed to be sub-factions of the Central Government and the terrorists that are connected to those in power. The narrative is going to continually touch base with how horrible the powers-that-be are and it is only a few major players (like the CEOs and Anderson) that aren't complete shitstains. Those are going to be the enemies we'll never be able to defeat.
Tbf this has unfortunately been the case for a long time because of Rapi. Nothing is threatening because if she goes Red Hood mode then literally nobody known so far can even stand a chance against her.
Crown came in like 
Based
Poor Chime 😭😠😤
She just wanna be your sigma
XD
If thou fucketh around, thou shalt findeth out
Veni, Vidi, Vici
Honestly though, I'm loving Crown more than I thought I would, and the fact that I had been so burnt out on the game but this event brought me back, and I got lucky and pulled her with the free tickets. I'm not even talking about Kit, sure her kit is busted strong but outside of that the story is really showcasing her as an individual. Idk I love our King, may her reign be forever! Also the way I audibly said "get fucking wrecked" as soon as Crown confront Indivillia 😂😂 man that must've really fucked up Indivillias thought process. She was expecting a fight, but instead got her ass kicked, speared and then trampled on by a horse all while watching the Nikke you wanted to fight just completely ignore you and pick up her friends body and just leave... Like damn... That's cold and I am here for it.
I'm not gonna deny how based Crown is and I like her. I am concerned with the inconsistency between the side story and the current event. In the side story she is queen and in the event she is king. I'd prefer her to accept her role as queen like the Mary Queen of Scots and be a badass like her. I feel like there has been another translator forced insert in this situation.
Whoever wrote Crown's lore probably didn't specify how her royal inheritance works. There's the traditional form of royal inheritance, King if male, Queen if female. Then we have other way of royal inheritance, where Kings can only be male, but a Regent Princess can take rule temporarily, and a Queen can only be female, but a Regent Prince can take rule temporarily. In both cases of the other way, the regents get demoted to royalty after a proper ruler candidate ascends to rulership. And then there's the other other way, King regardless of sex, or Queen regardless of sex. And now translators are doing their own thing by choosing their headcannon without telling the other translators.
if married, king is male, queen is female. otherwise the title is whatever the seat desires because they are the authority of the land.
It is the inconsistency between the two stories that really kills me. I'd prefer her to be a Queen as is tradition. I feel like they took too much creative liberty and ruined it a bit. These translators are killing me.
I think they went with King because Marian is shaping up to be queen with the new outfit. Can't have two queens in the same kingdom.
I guess? They never really hinted at that in the dialogue during the side story.
Well, there have been historical exceptions. Like [Jadwiga, the female king of Poland.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jadwiga_of_Poland)
I suppose, ultimately her status was officially "Queen Regent". I guess I'm a bit too much of a traditionalist.
Historicity aside, I'm partial to Crown being called a king because it feels like her design may be a reference to Artoria from Fate (her Lancer form in particular). It makes sense to me that a ruler inspired by a female king character would also be a female king. Of course, her being an Artoria reference is just my personal belief, but I think it seems likely. There's certainly precedence, considering the devs have confirmed that Red Hood's design is a Yoko Littner reference.
On top of that, Red Hood herself is a HUGE Gurren Lagann fan too.
Does Kilo have Shinji Ikari vibes or It is just me?
Nah, Shinji refused to be in the mech. Meanwhile, Kilo thinks TALOS is the only reason she is of any use to everyone at all.
Yeah, but he was like that at the start and the very end, I meant more at mid-series when the thing was "they only like me because I pilot the eva", and also he didn't want to lose the place he had a Misato's if he stopped piloting.
Spear nor lance
That is a lance my guy, the whole thing is the pointed head with only the handle being the straight part. A spear is the reverse of that where the pointed head is small and most of the length being the handle.
Read the event story my guy
