32:00 She is a CEO because a family member does not want to be a public figure (Yes, there was someone older than her that could have been CEO and Syuen got placed into CEO instead, hoping that she is meaner than Syuen, I actually dont hate Syuen after some lore learning about her).
@@lunamayjen yup, he was a walking hexing curse, he just spreaded misery and no good outcome came from interacting with him. Like first interaction we ended with a broken leg, mihara memory wiped, and yuni broken mentally, second interaction, kidnapped, broken finger, and we had to fight our assumed dead wife because he apparently summon her, third amd final interaction... He turn marian into a fucking vegetable and caused mass depression to counters.
Man, i love this chapter and Laplace's 'hero arc'. I love the dynamic between Syuen and Matis/Laplace, especially the exchange at the end between Syuen and Laplace. Might as well throw in that I pretty much love Laplace as a whole (didn't think i would when she was first added). I wish we got a hooded Laplace skin/outfit. I like twintails but she's so adorable with her hood up. Then there's the end end Crow and Yuni. I always find it funny when people start agreeing with Crow's words.
Everyone loves the three stooges. And the worst part about crow gaslighting yuni is she wasn't lying for most of what she said. She let yuni jump to her own conclusions and then pried on those to push her over the edge.... Also make sure to keep a supply of popcorn and tissues. From here on it's a wild ride
I have been loving these three more and more. I can't wait to have both Maxwell and Laplace on my account (already have Drake) to do their bond stories! And yeah you are right about Crow. Its just.... crow... i don't trust her at all. But I hate that she has a point. Its a difficult situation there. And ohhhh boy. I have been told that after this things start to crazy. I'm not ready! 🤣
This is such a good chapter, Laplace’s internal conflict is extremely well written. I also love how Drake called Laplace she was a porker and told her to throw up her excitement was a nice moment before the feels hit.
@ yeah, she definitely is a good character. I just wish the high-tech toy event leaned into the post nymph versions of the squad but it came out a little too early for that to happen.
I love their relationship so much. U can tell they all truly care for one another. And yeeeesss! This chapter made me love Laplace even more! I was always interested in her character but maaannn doing this chapter truly opened my eyes. She's so well written!
@@lunamayjen It's a shame most don't like her best they haven't reached chapter 18 or just see her as having a hero complex and unintelligent. We don't know many Nikke's who have survived corruption. It's Matis, Cinderella and Marian(kinda). Laplace's trauma is so well written and her ability to overcome it is empowering. Her favourite item story adds more context as to why she acts the way she does. I won't spoil that until you can experience it for yourself.
Syuen: laplace is my creation! She would never Laplace: im straight up scared for my life here lady! I want out! GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!! Syuen: wha?... Commander: well well well... If it aint the consequences of your own actions huh?...
Laplace will never say that to Syuen. Because only Syuen who accept her proposal to be a Nikke when she was seriously ill, malnourished, anemic, and so on. Syuen trusted her, so she also trusted Syuen.
For the Syuen moment when she panicked about Laplace weapon, that is in a different story involving the collection after meeting these requirements Requires LVL 15 SR collection Item and a Max Bond LVL (not Sure but I did max for mine) with the character (for this case, Laplace) (Spoiler for those that dont want to see) During the the story, you see Laplace saying hero manual, but it is an Old DVD series that she watches a lot but the CD got damaged and asked Maxwell to repair. Maxwell asked if she replace the DvD and Laplace refuses to wear that Maxwell will fix it once we do her a favor. During that time, you and Laplace talk about the Series and makes like it nicer when she starts learning other ways to be a hero. Once that is done, Maxwell has repaired the CD and Laplace starts preparing for both you guys to watch it which to leads to her backstory: Maxwell explained that before she became a Nikke, she was a scientist that helped making the a prototype Nikke which has similiar power as the original, Lilliweiss/Lilith. During that time, Laplace volunteered to become a test subject for the project; however, Laplace's body was really fragile and she was removed from the list during the project which is around the time where Syuen became the 4th CEO of Missilis and ppl were doubting her to living up to her predecessors' legacies. Syuen saw something in Laplace and trusted her so muchthat Syuen pushed Laplace inclusion of the project, which was called Project Matis, which became an astounding success as she became the first prototype Nikke and that boosted the Company reputation. During that time, that Hero DVD was Laplace's strength to push through the painful experiments and the reason why Syuen cared about Laplace and Matis squad so much. Honestly, one of my favorite stories in Missilies and show that Syuen does care, just not really good at it.
I’m actually kinda fan of a way the “pure science viewpoint” is depicted with Missilis researchers nikkes, as well as grey-sh moral they display. Like, Maxwell for instance: she’s “better” then Ether, but is willing to do questionable things to achieve “positive” outcome. I don’t know if this analogy was intended when SU wrote these characters, but it’s still nice that theme is in the game. Or I’m just full-scizo and think to hard about it, lol
This chapter definitely switched my opinion of Laplace completely. She annoys me in all other interaction, but this humanized her so well. Once you can, I hope you can do her favorite item story (it requires you MLB and get bond level 30, so it’s definitely a ways off for a new player)
Oh I would love to do her favorite item story at some point. Although I don't have her at the moment so it's going to be a while. But I will keep that in mind! 😊
Gameplay wise, once you finished Laplace collectible mission, SHE BECAME TRUE LORE ACCURATE NIKKE, literally mowing down waves after waves of raptures with terrifying ease. Also, as a translator, I'd say EN VA kinda sucks. It also carry less nuance and emotional delivery compared to JP VA. ESPECIALLY FOR THAT LAPLACE SCENE.
1:05:00 "Do not forget: the very magnificence that has always existed in ourselves" 😢❤

Syuen is a treasure
Mamatis FTW
All Hail Missilis
Good thing we put chatterbox 6ft under cuz imagine the panic attack of laplace after seeing that abomination, speaking and mocking her
She be crying 😢
@Emptyblack101 nah she would be shrieking on terror, as the cunt plays with her, because we all know how much chatterbox loves to play the long game.
Ohhhh nooo. That would absolutely break her 😭

This is the chapter that really made me love Matis. Especialy Drake. I love that evil little gremlin!!
Oh I have been loving drake more and more lately. Especially when I get her blabla messages. It's so fun to read lol 🤣
29:45 BANGER ALERT 🗣📣🔥🔥❗
I am obsessed with this soundtrack! 😊🤣
Wings of Victory is a banger! one of my fav soundtracks from nikke =)
I've been listening to it non stop. Its such an amazing soundtrack. Absolutely love it! 😊
6:00 that song is composed by Ajurika from Tekken
Yay!! Another Luna Nikke VOD!
Ayyyee!! 😊
I enjoy listening to your vod while working 🥰
Ayyeee! Hope work is going smoothly for yah! 😊

I already loved Laplace. But chapter 18 cemented that fact

@@Fonz57 I pray they come into the story again. At least we saw them during the Re zero and Eva collabs

It's hidden at the Laplace Favorite Item story
For the Syuen moment when she panicked about Laplace weapon, that is in a different story involving the collection after meeting these requirements
Requires LVL 15 SR collection Item and a Max Bond LVL (not Sure but I did max for mine) with the character (for this case, Laplace)
(Spoiler for those that dont want to see)
During the the story, you see Laplace saying hero manual, but it is an Old DVD series that she watches a lot but the CD got damaged and asked Maxwell to repair. Maxwell asked if she replace the DvD and Laplace refuses to wear that Maxwell will fix it once we do her a favor.

Honestly, one of my favorite stories in Missilies and show that Syuen does care, just not really good at it.
Also, as an addition, Syuen was stated as CEO roughly around that age she is in the story. So it looks like she got forced into the position.
It's chapter 18 but of course since Scarlet was in chapter 17 it makes sense to keep the title mhm(Forsooth)
I’m actually kinda fan of a way the “pure science viewpoint” is depicted with Missilis researchers nikkes, as well as grey-sh moral they display.

FYI Papillon is a gold-digger and the running theory is that she was Burningum's wife as a human and stuck with him after becoming a Nikke.
Thats.... thats an interesting theory. Huh. I don't know how to feel about that 🤔😅
But why?
Best girl is here!
Agreed!
Crazy how some of the most problematic Nikke come from Missilis. Really mkes you wonder why.
Looking at you Syuen. 🤔
Is the title wrong? I saw the thumbnail for ch 18 cinematic lol
I knew I forgot something. I uploaded this at 4am lmaaooo. Thanks for the heads up!!
This chapter definitely switched my opinion of Laplace completely. She annoys me in all other interaction, but this humanized her so well. Once you can, I hope you can do her favorite item story (it requires you MLB and get bond level 30, so it’s definitely a ways off for a new player)
1:10:27 Somebody needs to keep count of the number of times that you have predicted exactly what characters were about to say in advance.
Oh I would love to do her favorite item story at some point. Although I don't have her at the moment so it's going to be a while. But I will keep that in mind! 😊
lol the only gripe I have with this cutscene is... why didn't she say hero like the chapter title? xD
She was in the moment. Shhhhhh lol.
Gameplay wise, once you finished Laplace collectible mission, SHE BECAME TRUE LORE ACCURATE NIKKE, literally mowing down waves after waves of raptures with terrifying ease.
Also, as a translator, I'd say EN VA kinda sucks. It also carry less nuance and emotional delivery compared to JP VA. ESPECIALLY FOR THAT LAPLACE SCENE.
