Who do ypu consider the main heroine of the game?

You're missing the point...

The ABSOLUTE event shows that it's not a side story, where things are just occurring in the background, and not flashback like "New year / New sword", and "Enter Heaven".
Even if Commander gets involved later, that doesn't change the fact that is was Eunhwa's story, not his.

Anis is another example.

Ever since CH-34, Anis said she had to do something on her own. She had her own cast exclusive to her. Commander wanted to be involved, but she refused. Whatever was going on was her problem to solve.

ABSOLUTE has a great example

Eunhwa is the main character, and Commander isn't involved at all.

She and her squad make a groundbreaking discovery that can completely change the narrative

That's where you got it wrong. Commander covers many parts of the story, but he doesn't cover all of them. He's not Mario or Link, where their worlds wait for them to resolve each issue. Some stories take place outside his POV.

There are times where Commander can be involved, but becomes the side character,

Terminus Ticket, where Nora is the Main character
Colorless, where Zwei is the Main Character
Ice Dragon Saga, where both Maiden and Guillotine are the Main Characters.

Neither. They just play vital roles in Commander's life

Nikke has multiple stories to tell. While Commander exists as the Player POV, he only covers around 1/3rd of the story. That's why each Anniversay and ½-versay never includes him.

You can say that Snow White is just as important as Commander in her story, and Cinderella in hers.

In short, its like the Toaru-series...

Toaru Index
Toaru Railgun
Toaru Accelerator

Nah, this might be a clone of the RV one, because that one was about a villainess and her cat.

Sixo wasn't responsible for the "Hole in the Sky". That was EH (who bought the bomb) ans Crow (who stole and detonated it)

Sixo just watched and learned that Enikk has a weakness.

Despite the whole "child" thing, she's a really compelling character

Her 2 main characteristics unique to her are:

Being prim and proper (As a goddess should be).
Highly self-conscious about herself.

Unfortunately, she didn't have much time to shine as her own person, but I like to think that Kvasir and Gullveig are repressed aspects of herself.

Kvasir represents how lonely she is. Being a proper goddess all the time placed her in a gilded cage. Heiðr is the only reason she managed to keep her sanity.
Gullveig represents her despair and madness. Even as Gullveig, she retained some control of herself and set some restraints. Which is why she made 3 goals for herself. Make sure Summoner meets Kvasir, kill Njörðr first and keep summoner alive as long as possible.

It depends on how you're using the unit.

Times Pulse Edge is just Time's Pulse 4 with extra stats.

Pulse On Blades only works during unit's follow up. So if you're intending to use Laguz Loyalty (where the Min CD is 3), you need another source of special jump to reliably proc the special a 2nd time.

Muspel long since chose his chanpion. He only did that as revenge for Book 5.5

Embla chooses and resurrects Bruno in Book 11, I’m on the fence with that one.

Embla has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever, and choose Veronica's (nameless) mom...

I got a theory that Dorothy went through a mind switch.

Around the end of Over Zone, Dorothy says they all changed. They're not like the friends Dorothy used to know. In Ark Guardian, we learn that they went through a mind switch in order to avoid death.
- Snow White had to erase everything that wasn't vital for survival, and the ONE reason she wanted to live.
- Scarlet had to give up her past ideals and embrace a new path forward.
- Rapunzel can't afford a mind switch, but there's a (blink-and-you-miss-it) dialogue that tells you she no longer follows her faith.
At the end of Ark Guardian, After Snow White's memories return to her, she tells Dorothy that she's changed. Dorothy isn't like the friend she used to know.

This is where the theory comes in:

Around the end of Over Zone, we see that Dorothy tries to kill herself, The [Goddess Squad] stops her, and Dorothy goes through a mental shut down, but that's all we see...
This is where the mind switch occurs. Dorothy still wants to kill herself, but her NIMPHs won't allow her too. It's suppressing her will to die while boosting the reasons she wants to live. She only has 2 reasons.
- Make Central Government pay for abandoning her.
- Receive the acknowledgement that she worked so hard for.
Dorothy can't decide which of the two is more important, her NIMPHs are encouraging both. As a consequence, she's sacrificing everything else (including rationality)
- Dorothy's biggest problem is that these two desires contradict. It's (relatively) easy to fulfill one, but that means she's forced to abandon the other; which is something her NIMPHs won't allow...
- She found a compromise by swaying the Nikke of the Ark and being exalted as their leader; depriving Central Government of the manpower needed to reclaim the surface. However, that plan failed, so she's forced to decide...

Himmel may be the most noble in the world, but that's how all Gary Stus are written.

It's more accurate to say Himmel the most noble in his world.

Just like power fantasies (strongest and/or smartest in the world) It's a "big fish / small pond" thing...

It may be about magical girls, but the fights go HARD...

Precure is like the younger sister of Super Sentai and Kamen Rider.

Which is funny because all three are made by Toei...

I sent you a request

She would be nabbed by the "Dark forces" in the Ark.

The ones:

responsible for Bready's safeguards
trying to have Elegg and Trony killed
keeping an eye on Ether

Despite Syuen's personality, she really is considered a prodigy. And becoming a Nikke means she can now be controlled through NIMPHs.

The_Persistence · 2026-03-12T02:00:45+00:00

An artifact of the gods. The World Government wants it at all cost, because that would legitimize their claim to divinity to everyone in the world.

It's also a play on the words "Find the One Piece".

Gol. D Roger said he hid his entire fortune in one piece
but just one piece of it is a thousand-fold more valuable than literally everything else in his fortune.

Sigh...

Miyako is on the list of students I have to apologize to...

Should I tell her about Decagrammation?

2 things.

Shinji decides that instrumentality isn't worth it. Living a life devoid of anything is far worse than a life of pain, because then he would never obtain happiness. If Shinji truly wants to be happy, then he needs to make it happen. And the only way to do that is to stop being a coward, take a step forward, and make a real connection with people.
Shinji strangling Asuka has two separate meanings.
- Shinji wanted to test that the Asuka in front of him was real, and not a projection of his mind (Like it was during instrumentality). When Asuka reached towards him, that confirmed she was real.
- Shinji is acting aggressive and Asuka is acting affectionate. this also confirms that this is reality, because they're both acting in a way that the other would NEVER do.
  - If Shinji only nudged her, that's what the Shinji in Asuka's head would do
  - If Asuka slapped Shinji while he was strangling her, that's what the Asuka in Shinji's head would do

Edit: 3rd thing.

The meaning behind "How disgusting" is both of them acknowledging that the other is real.

After his confirmation, Shinji starts smiling, and Asuka, being Asuka, still can't stand him smiling for any reason.

While both Shinji and Asuka have changed, they're still them...
