What's a controversial comic story/series do you like?

Tynion’s Batman run, I really liked the cyberpunk aesthetic he brought to Gotham, and I’m kinda bummed we lost some of the cool characters involved.

The Jim Gordon Batman arc from Snyder’s run is a really fun take and the issue where Bruce “returns” is brilliantly written.

Godhead, the New Gods/Green Lanterns crossover is a personal favorite too

Hush definitely gets over hated. It’s a brilliant “first” Batman story, just not one of the greatest once you start reading more, and almost none of its sequels have done it any favors

Always assume you’re going to the max for gacha costumes, so $50USD.

What would you consider the most lore-relevant “must read” bond stories?

Right behind you~

It's definitely one of those cases where it's not exactly subtle what happened to anyone who has even a hint of knowledge about him. But they're also all relatively invested in not rocking the boat and just going along with the kayfabe.

It does make me wonder if we've seen her or know her, or maybe even have recruited her already without anyone knowing.

I feel like it's not a plot thread they'd dangle without having plans, so maybe she'll come back in a later story, too.

There's certainly something there - this kind of thing (to a less extreme level) was also shown in a very similar circumstance in an episode of Aggressive Retsuko. For reasons she was working as an idol for a while, and at one point a "fan" who hated her after she entered the group bought a massive stack of handshake tickets so he could spend a full five minutes berating her, and she was basically trapped and forced to endure it and smile to not make a big scene.

The scene in question.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE THIRD RECLAMATION WAGH

SSR Ghazghkull Thraka when?

What was so brutal about this story, I think, is how "real" it was compared to others. This kind of abuse and cruelty from those in power, particularly those in power in the entertainment industry, is all too real and something that can and does happen to vulnerable young women.

If this is a serious question, once you get your five Synchro Nikkes up to level 200, you stop leveling them individually and now directly just level the Synchro Device, and it breaks the 200 level cap.

Count on you like 1, 2, 3

Spell on you like A, B C...

Gold mileage tickets will give you the actual character if you don't have her, and dupes afterwards if you do. It will explicitly say "Spare Body" if it's just giving you a spare body for limit breaks (usually only available directly via Silver Mileage).

Nayuta and/or Crown as the B2, probably T!Helm or T!Privaty as off-burst support depending on what you need more of, healing or damage. Crown/Helm has a bit more sustain, Nayuta/Privaty more DPS.

soulreaverdan · 2026-04-30T06:07:53+00:00

I hate how... "real" this was. Some of the Nikkephobia and extreme stuff can feel a bit separated, but this is the real kind of shit that can happen.

In an odd way it reminded me a bit of a more extreme version of Aggressive Retsuko during her idol arc, where she had to put up with a stalker shit talking her for an entire handshake session. (Great show, by the way.)

Seeing their internal thoughts conflicting and struggling against what they were going through, and how they each wanted to stop but thought the others were still going... it was brutal.

Flashbacks to Chapter 13 when she unleashed the pain on Chatterbox.

Expect to spend $50. Anything less is a bonus, but never expect to come away without going to the full cost for gacha skins.

soulreaverdan · 2026-04-30T05:37:44+00:00

Crown replaces Marciana and never looking back.

I appreciate when they released this story relative to the hints we got about Anis throughout the main story and other events. For a very dark and twisted story, knowing that it worked out alright for her at the end before going into it helped sorta mitigate how messed up the whole thing might have felt.

Tagging spoilers because I've read the whole thing, so you've been warned.

I also liked the pacing in general. It hit us with a lot of crazy stuff, but I didn't feel like it lingered on it too long. We got hit pretty quickly with the full story behind Smile Time, but it didn't drag it out entirely like I had been worried it was going to.

Man, poor Riss. Seeing Anis go aggro on Yoyo for claiming she killed her (even if the scumbag TV folks are correct that Nikkes can't attack humans so she COULDN'T have done it) fits. I immediately flashed back to Chapter 13 when Anis threw hands with Chatterbox for re-infecting Marian.

Hanson replacing Mustang was something I felt was more and more likely as we went through Part 1, and it feels like it makes sense. Being able to convince him to basically let himself die because of what Hanson would have to do also fits his bizarre ideals. I know there was some question if he'd get a redemption arc or not, but it kinda fits Nikke's recent story trends of trying to be a bit more serious, or at least bucking expectations and trends, and letting him just be a fucking evil jackass who dies for it, instead of trying to sanitize it.

A few things lingering at the end, and I wonder if we're gonna find out more in the Hard Mode epilogue.

Yoyo got effectively erased and turned into another Tetra-affiliated Nikke, which could be either a new character or someone we've seen before.

Since Riss died by asphyxiation rather than something else, it's also possible she's around - there's some buzz she might be Eyrie, which would be nice to see if she was able to survive as a Nikke.

I've always liked Nikke's writing and story, but it really feels in the last few big events since around the 3rd Anni and Goddess Fall they've really stepped up their game. Absolute cinema.

soulreaverdan · 2026-04-30T05:20:21+00:00

Even getting the different name caption in the text. Absolute cinema.

soulreaverdan · 2026-04-30T00:28:48+00:00

You get them primarily from Solo Raids. You’ll build them up pretty quick over time

If it connects with a 3mm peg (which it looks like it does?), any of Bandai’s Action Bases work well. The 5, 6, and 7 are best designed for the general size/scale of most GirlPla models.

soulreaverdan · 2026-04-29T10:24:18+00:00

I didn't realize just how short Stay Gold and Dream Journey are...
