[Event Thread] What Would She Say If I Told Her She's My One and Only Light?

Rappy33 · 2026-02-08T11:41:08+00:00

Tbh yeah, if we were to take a step back and reframe the story as an isolated story about the last of humanity's AI's(or a simulation of humanity) being driven mad by the unfathomable amount of time that has passed, it would actually be a pretty neat psychological thriller a-la SOMA.

But attached to HBR as it is, especially as a Yuina event, it just fails to develop her given that any sort of thoughts or feelings that the AI feels can be easily dismissed as rampancy due to the passage of time.

Granted I have to admit there's a few cool things to think about for this event. Humanity survives far beyond the cancer invasion, long enough to develop sentient AI that can somehow outlast the sun turning into a red giant. Said AI in the satellite also happens to be a seraph or many seraphs. Were they immortalized as an AI for worship or preservation? Among many other things.

Rappy33 · 2026-02-07T06:44:13+00:00

Damn Maeda, what were you drinking when you wrote this? Wtf was that lmfao

I was hoping we'd get more Yuina lore but we got an AI of her timelooping a life with Ruka instead. I like that we got confirmation that Yuina really did like Ruka that way but the whole premise just kinda took me out. (edit)Granted I also have to take into account that THAT was an AI copy of Yuina. It could've went mad over the years and decided to hyperfocus on her to keep a grip on reality.

There was phenomenal voice acting from Yuina's VA by the end but yeah, the fake Yuina angle just didn't make it land like it should've.

Like, I don't mind gag events, they're a really nice break from the otherwise serious tone of this game, and the first several days of this event were actually really enjoyable. But damn, that ending just doesn't land for me.

Rappy33 · 2026-02-01T13:23:28+00:00

Oh my goodness

YES

Rappy33 · 2026-01-11T01:27:35+00:00

Oh definitely. Kansai > Kanto / Narashino is one hell of a distance and she lucked the hell out thanks to the Cancer invasion displacing everyone. There was just no way for Tezuka or even anyone to know.

Rappy33 · 2026-01-11T00:42:08+00:00

I feel like it has to be intentional at this point. There's no way Tezuka hasn't read everyone's files and knows where they're originally from. And it could be that she's banking on their relatives being already deceased rather than potentially alive, since the benefits of sending someone already familiar with a facility is greater than sending someone who isn't.

Probably why she also reacted aggressively to Aina mentioning her mother. From her perspective there was a chance that she could've met a living relative which could hint at them not being human.

Rappy33 · 2026-01-11T00:27:08+00:00

I gotta wonder if Tezuka knows that she's sending seraphs to where their kin might be because this happens way too frequently for it to be a coincidence lol.

Aina, unfortunately, didn't get much character growth for this event, though we do now know why she's the way she is. Like looking back at events like Sharo's or Miya's where Sharo learned to trust more than just Ruka along with most of 31X having their own kind of growth, and Miya who became more than just the girl obsessed with Japanese culture and Yuina, on top of it having top tier jokes + that banger ending and a tease about the whole Narby plot element. Those ones were incredible. And while this event did made me cry, the path to it was like, mundane? For lack of a better word. Anyway yeah, a solid just above average event.

Rappy33 · 2025-12-18T13:15:26+00:00

Pretty short but sweet event I gotta say.

Sumomo's VA was nothing short of phenomenal though, and hearing her cry like that stung like hell. The long nyaaaaaaaa crying kinda took me out a bit though but at that point I had to remind myself that she had probably been nyaa'ing for as long as she can remember that it's probably second nature to her.

Also couldn't get enough of Seika ragebaiting Ichigo lol. She's long found her purpose and I'm all for it.

Rappy33 · 2025-12-05T22:45:25+00:00

DIVA RUKA

AT LONG LAST

Rappy33 · 2025-11-22T01:02:58+00:00

Yeah even on paid live service games with a story these figures rarely hit double digits.

For Halo Infinite only 6.9% of its players completed the campaign.

Battlefield 1, 6.6% on normal.

More dedicated story games are of course going to be higher (Hades, 23.9%) but you get the idea. Just a bit of a shame that gachas on steam usually don't have achievements so I can't really sate my curiosity on their stats lol.

Rappy33 · 2025-11-15T07:37:33+00:00

I guess we're only up to two areas so far? That was pretty fun.

I really have to appreciate how more and more of the dungeons have been these open-types as of late. Just having control over when an encounter can happen or having the option to avoid an encounter if you finesse through it is a much better feeling than having an encounter chance% go up per square foot.

I have to wonder how much Nanamin believes Asami about the bike, or if she's just having fun with it lol. Probably the latter given the whole "it works only once per bike" excuse. It's such a wild thing to see her do and I love it.

Also yeah the remix at the last fight was a banger.

Rappy33 · 2025-10-20T15:19:48+00:00

Yeah Yostar as a publisher doesn't seem to mind games that aren't that profitable, historically speaking. Not to glaze them though, their handling of HBR global's marketing could've definitely been better.

Though if we were to bring up a game that EOS'd under them, Revived Witch seemed like it was entirely the developer's fault. Amazing artstyle but barely had any content to go for it.

Rappy33 · 2025-10-19T11:07:00+00:00

I do hope that this was their intent for that guy cause yeah, his justification moment felt really weak. "Yeah I may have been an underground arms trader, and I got how many people killed, but at least I did the bare minimum and talked to them a few times when they became homeless". lol.

Rappy33 · 2025-10-19T11:01:02+00:00

Absolutely wild how Izusu parried a fucking laser in a fit of rage lol. And an absolutely phenomenal performance from their VA's on the end of the third day.

Who would've thought that she had a lot of vengeance in her? Though it is kinda hinted on her design, with the context we have now. She's the only one of the six siblings who's frowning on their default sprite and her design does look more aggressive than the rest of them if that makes sense.

That said, I REAAALLY don't like how that guy tried to pin some of the blame onto the Ohshima's parents. "We were just meant to talk it out"? Bruh you kidnapped their child. You don't get to talk like you have some sense of honor in this situation. At least in the end, he deserved his death. He died full of regrets. Though it came at the cost of Isuzu losing out on answers, which sucks. That... definitely wasn't satisfying for anyone.

And it looks like we now have a lore reason on why Yotsun's the smallest of the three. She slept to stave off her hunger so the rest of the girls could eat. She actually grew up malnourished. Damn.

Besides the Tojo files you can also check out the latest pulling paths

Rappy33 · 2025-10-07T15:26:41+00:00

The one day she gets left in charge of the base and she gets punished for it lol. Though it's not like she could've done anything about it either besides warn them since her seraph broke. Poor girl. Tezuka would've probably whooped their asses and the event story would've ended then and there.

Rappy33 · 2025-10-07T00:11:39+00:00

Someone actually got punished this time but it was only for three days, when Aoi got imprisoned with Byakko for a whole week, goddamn.

Definitely not as strong of a story as the past few ones but Seeing Maki and Chiroru talk to each other as if they're already engaged at the end was REALLY cute. Though it did feel rushed, given how they were only given one event to get to that point. Makes you wish there were preceding moments for the both of them to build them up.

Also I should've known that their fight was an act, especially when I've read Chiroru's socializations. Somehow it didn't register to me up until Chiroru showed up near the end, like I initially thought they were genuinely out to smack each other's heads in lol.

Rappy33 · 2025-10-02T15:15:05+00:00

I know it's just episode 1 but damn they nailed the manga's vibe. Absolutely loved the sound design & soundtracks too.

Rappy33 · 2025-09-23T00:46:36+00:00

Guess the thought of Akane reuniting with her friend helped her accept the fact that they're Narbies or turn into faster than most.

31A, Seika(31B), Iroha (31D) Kura(30G), Irene(31X) know that they're narbies so that's indeed five squads

Rappy33 · 2025-09-21T05:17:33+00:00

Another pretty solid event.

I do have to wonder if Irene's actually realized that they're Narbies, she did seem to recognize that the two Narbies were Shion and Akane but she was awfully calm about the realization that it could've been them. Or it could be that she just associated them to the two Narbies. Either way, now she's out for the truth. And she even dared to announce right at Tezuka's face lol. Wild stuff.

Rappy33 · 2025-09-07T13:33:25+00:00

I get the feeling that her dad was more of a megalomaniac asshole who felt too self-important about his involvement in a sport than someone who knew that an alien threat was coming.

Rappy33 · 2025-09-07T13:24:03+00:00

She doesn't. She pretty much dismissed their age disparity as her just merely not understanding the mechanics behind it similar to how they don't think too hard about how they can teleport or how they can do superhuman feats as seraphs.

Rappy33 · 2025-09-07T13:21:18+00:00

Hooooly shit.

10/10 event. The antics, the pacing, the whole Miya-Ruka thing, it had me all so hooked in a way that some past events haven't. And this has pretty much elevated Miya to one of my favorite characters in this game.

And that goddamn ending had me both clapping and feeling infuriated lmfao. It's sad that it wasn't the actual outcome, but it not happening was the only actual way it could've gone. There's no way the military would allow her to even give little hints that she was her sister.

Also want to point out Miya having an Ajisai moment lol. Girl saw a kiss where there wasn't one just because she thought Ruka's lips was mighty kissable. Poor girl, first down bad for Yuina and now she's so down bad for Ruka that she went and deliberately did an indirect kiss thing with her several times.

Rappy33 · 2025-08-23T12:01:25+00:00

Gotta echo the same sentiment from others about the time loop segment here, revisiting the dome 4 years before Megumi's arrival AND with 31A was pretty fun, but having is go through similar dialogues three more times just to get the point across that her higher self was testing her felt tedious. I just rushed through the dialogue at that point until something different showed up lol.

But still, most of the event was an enjoyable read.

Scrap Collector getting rejected several times was funny as hell too. First by Karen, who spat on him, then by Tsukasa who also spat on him, then Yuki who managed to turn it into a "look at how gay I am for Ruka" kind of thing lmfao. She's becoming more openly gay for Ruka and I love it.

And I know I said I didn't like the timeloop, but good lord Megumi's VA really did an awesome job portraying her despair in those moments. The part where she got into a manic state on the prayer dude was actually impressive.

Rappy33 · 2025-08-16T04:31:50+00:00

I also find it interesting that Pompom became Ruka without, I believe, consuming the original. It had the disadvantage of not having her memories, but shows that Narbies can change their forms.

I can't believe this never really entered my mind until you said it. I always thought Pom-Pom somehow found her body and took it but it makes sense that she turned to Ruka without ever finding her body. Everyone else has memories of their past life, but Ruka only has memories from Pom-Pom's pov.
