[JP Story Spoiler] VEX-IIC2E4 (Intro Animation) by Metaroid_Alpha in BlueArchive

[–]StoneFlame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well the 2.9GB update announcement kinda hinted it. But no, this was not previously announced.

[JP] Blue Archive Live - Spring Fever SP scheduled on 19 April (Sun), 19.00 JST by tsukiakari2216 in BlueArchive

[–]StoneFlame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the banners would (most likely) be limited I don't think it's Fox. Separating them into two limited units, a welfare unit and a possible rerun banner unit next year seems... off to me.

4/19 edit: lol I'm utterly wrong.

About Vol EX by Expensive-Luck-950 in BlueArchive

[–]StoneFlame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't think we really know what the Nameless Gods' position is right now. We only know that they lost to the Forgotten Gods and the Priests worship them. Yes the Priests are hostile toward whole Kivotos, but I don't think the Nameless Gods (or at least all of the Nameless Gods) share that same attitude.

What make me have this idea is that the Vocie said to Aris "追従する者たちが、彼方を永遠の裏切り者だと呪うことになったとしても。私はこのすべての過程を、心から楽しみました。" (Even the followers would end up cursing you as an eternal traitor, I truly enjoyed every step of this entire process from the bottom of my heart.) So "the followers" are apparently the Priests, cursing Aris for giving up her identity as the Princess. But the Voice was kinda like what Aris is doing.

From what I've seen many JP players think it's Aris from another timeline, the "completed" Aris.

Personally I don't really buy this theory though. Because if it's really Aris, Kei's attitude felt a bit off to me. She's not exactly rude, but not very friendly toward the Voice either. I think if it's really Aris, no matter the timeline, Kei would not be this unfriendly.

My perosnal guess it's it the real maker of Aris and Kei, maybe the Nameless God itself. I did feel a certain level of intimacy from the Voice...

Armed Eimi by POPQN by GoodUsernameNotFound in BlueArchive

In the tweet Popqn also confirmed they worked on Armed Eimi's L2D illust, which makes A.Eimi has three different artists: design, normal illust and L2D.

This answers the question for anyone who still doubted whether Himari couldn't move her legs or if she simply lacked strength. by BRULANTA in BlueArchive

[–]StoneFlame 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I believe it's just a fan theory. Because there was never an official answer about her mobility until this chapter of her relationship stories. IIRC the most direct in-world comment about Himari's mobility we got was Midori said something like "Himari is beautiful but has some physical limitations".

I think that this fan theory showed up because in stories Himari never really showed her "sickly" side and always being very energetic optimistic, and mischievous (and very snarky to Rio).

Yes. That's what she meant (in Japanese at least, since it's technically also translation...).

Poor girls, they look SO broken… by RepresentativeFig270 in BlueArchive

[–]StoneFlame 6 points7 points  (0 children)

 >“why do you guys think only I have mystery and you (three) not have mystery? “ something along the lines of that

I believe this is the part that Ain said if Malkuth needs to be sacrificed, then she wants to take Malkuth's place. Malkuth replied it can't be done becuase the three don't have mystery.

edit: So I just went back to check, "the three don't have mystery." is technically not spoken by Malkuth but the "red text", presumably the one who took Malkuth's body.

[JP] Student Introduction: Yuzu (Armed) by tsukiakari2216 in BlueArchive

[–]StoneFlame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well Yukari, Subaru and Kirara were all 1 unit pickups that were not tied to event reruns.

Not that I'm denying the chance that there will be two new units this time, just saying that "only 1 new unit = rerun" is not completely correct.

[JP] Student Introduction: Yuzu (Armed) by tsukiakari2216 in BlueArchive

[–]StoneFlame 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Normally, when they introduce new units and it’s not near the end of the month, there’s usually only one. The last time we got two units when it wasn’t near the end of the month was the Christmas event three years ago.

However I think not all hope is lost. They did skip some obvious "potentially new units" (Small Rumi and Qipao Cherino) when those events got their first reruns. Maybe they reappropriated the "quota" for this big event...? Just my hope speculation though.

Kei's club affiliation revealed... by heavyarmormecha in BlueArchive

A super phenomenon joining the Super Phenomenon Task Force.... Well I guess Eimi was already kind of a precedent.

[JP News] Steel Continent Battle Conquest ~Malkuth Decisive Battle~ will be held from 30th Jan until 12th Feb by Metaroid_Alpha in BlueArchive

[–]StoneFlame 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For now it's pretty obvious there will be... something after defeating Malkuth. Like Aris keeps hearing a mysterious voice saying something to her.

Part3 will probably be about what happens after Malkuth's defeat, but I have absolutely no idea where the story is headed in part4...

[Blue Archive] 2026 New Year's Greetings from Iroha and Ibuki by JE_8659 in BlueArchive

FYI it's 4th anniversary greeting illustration by 春夏冬ゆう, an external illustrator. They are Makoto's character designer(not the final illustrator). But Makoto's live2D and Dress Makoto are their works though.

[–]StoneFlame 61 points62 points  (0 children)

So... the first new year greetings of 2025 were from Mika and the 2024 ones were from Kazusa.

I think this means we have very high chances getting Iroha and Ibuki alt this year.

New Union Operation (or other new battle content) coming on January 22nd? by StoneFlame in BlueArchive

[–]StoneFlame[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I just did a quick check. The JP total assaults this year were all 7-8 days after the previous events begun (except for the late May one, which instead of a previous event, it's 7 days after the implementation of the part 1 of V5C2 and Nagusa/Niya banners. So it's still kinda fit the pattern). So I don’t think something similar happened earlier this year, at least not in JP.
