A big middle finger to kurosanji with this one. She's saying while they may own the rights to the Selen character she IS Selen and there is nothing they can do that will ever change that.
A long time ago, there was a joke discord edit of a blonde dragon with green eyes. It was based on her time playing monopoly. I won't claim I made the edit because it was actually a team effort based on fun times of "what if she looked like this" in the server. Apologies for the melancholy and nostalgia and possibly dragging the mood down. I just hope someone has that image out there
Shots fired aside, what a top tier model and rig. Impressively expressive, but not overanimated. And can we talk about how the rapidly extendable/retractable neck is a t-bag function? SHE'S T-BAGGING THEM.
Those scars on her arm is a grim reminder of what she went through. It shows how strong she is and be able to pull through and continue to move forward.
The scars probably have multiple meanings. The serious traumas she went through IRL, her work as a bounty hunter, AND Selen's dragon arm had those exact same scars along with several others.
She's got the Western look to her, so just give her a double barreled, sawn-off shotgun and let the lore be that she "borrowed" it from some Space marine while he's napping 😂
It's not even a recent thing. Nijisanji has really failed to update their rigging software b/c they were WAY ahead at one point & thought no one would catch up. Look at someone like Flayon from Holostars, who debuted around somewhere between xsoleil & krisis. Even though krisis is more recent than his wave, his model is more animated & expressive than krisis'. Of course, his papa is from Iron Vertex, but I think my point still remains that niji just figured they'd always be top dog & refused to innovate as a result
See its funny because there are indie vtubers with much better rigging than Nijisanji vtubers. Most of them are stuck with one default facial expression or maybe they can go from :D to :O and that's it. Knowing that the company takes most of the revenue from the livers I'm not surprised they'd cut corners to keep more money so they don't give a lot of budget for rigging
There is no "rigging update" V2.0 /V 3.0 were marketing lies agencies made. When live2d vtubing started taking off ppl were still experimenting with how to get around the engine, and when ppl got better agencies started marketing it as a new tech just to show an illusion of progress, indies start with a more fluid model all the time
@@enigmaodell6806 Naniwazuni aka Missouri Tatsuki was responsible for extending Selen's neck in the vtuber wiki over a few weeks before getting banned. Doki's neck toggle is a reference to that incident.
This was very emotional to me especially when I think about the things she went through on her past. It is not that easy to face your past especially reclaiming and embracing it the way she does. I commend and applaud her for doing these things. To my fellow dragoons!! We have reclaimed everything and we are sooooo back!!
Behind her trademark mischievously laugh 😂, i can already tell she is beyond relief, happy, and extremely grateful for everyone/support on her side online/IRL, as well as her own perseverance in reaching where she is here now. To her and the new/rebirth of Dokibird 😁 🍻🍸🍅😂😂
And just imagine, her and the new case is what Kurosanji is going to be staring at most of the convention. Wishing they could've taken all their mess back. Oh well. Their complete loss. 😂
As a Bark Knight, I'm sad we'll get less of the og, but I'm glad for the dragoons to get what they're most used to. You all deserve it for sticking with her through all of this, and she deserves it to relieve of all the pain she went through. All I want is for her to be happy. And also for the art streams to come back. PLEASE BRING BA-
DOKI : you took everything from me.. AnyC***r : I don't even know you.. DOKI : WELL GUESS WHAT~!! Dragoons : WE ARE SOOOO.. BACK!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOI~!! Also my friend : Oh.. a new *CHOCOBO* Vtuber..
Usually, don't see a lot of Utubers, but gosh, how far has this community go now .and the models too! look how the mouth moves so smoothly as she speaks, wow Glad to see her happy now
I don’t really have a kami oshi bc honestly that phrase is a lil silly to me, but if i had choose one it’d be Doki. When she was purple she was kinda my obsession when it came to vtubers at the time. The termination was devastating. She miraculously came back and came back swinging hard. After this new model having little echoes of her hardships she so fking cool man. So strong and inspiring. So. Cool. Man. As beautiful as the day we lost her. Proud Dragoon till the end. Thats my kami oshi 💛😭
Is it? It essentially just boils down to "my #1 oshi" the word "oshi" to describe your fav could be called silly to a degree, b/c it literally means "push"
I'll never tire of Dokibird winning back something as a major W in direct or indirect defiance to you-know-who. Alongside Ironmouse, the story of Dokibird & her many ups and downs will forever be immortalised by 2024, *the year she rose up from the ashes of uncertainty & returned to Tomato Skinwalker.* This new model looks 10/10 & I'm so glad Doki went back to her model mama for such a great piece too. ❤😊
a certain company that is colored in jet black is definitely foaming in the mouth with rage like a rabid dog as we speak. also, dokibird booba confirmed? edit: the nijisisters are so mad rn from her new skin suit debut
@josefarias5216 yeah. I'd be mad too. Especially when Doki had 30k+ viewers during that stream while 3 niji en livers streaming at the same time could barely manage 1k collectively.
She doesn't look like the dragon she used to be, but looks like a yellow owl, oh my gosh, that looks so strange. I don't mean anything, it's just that Selen looks so new 😂💛💛🧡
The funny thing for me is that I actually prefer the old Dokibird skin-suit for feeling more homemade and individualistic rather than the more sterile, corporate feeling of the form that this skin-suit hearkens back to. However, this model is a VAST direct improvement over the design of that corporate form, on every level! Especially the hair!
Oddly enough, this new Vtuber model reminds me of RWBY's Yang- especially with the sunglasses and facial expressions. 😉😎 Oh, and the human skinsuit is neat too, I suppose. 😏🍅
Whether it was intentional or not, hairstyle change as symbolism, my beloved. Selen's hair wings were tucked in, like a perching bird, but doki's extend outward like open wings on a bird in flight
She got her friends back, she got her ign back, she got her fandom name back, and now she got her mama back! She keeps winning
"When you play a country song backwards"
Jaws backwards but the shark is a certain CEO/company
I thought it seemed REALLY familiar!😂
Everyone really did just look at Niji in disgust and say "...no"
The neck and yaoi hands are back too 😂

The bird in the name weren't for show.
Dragoons are just a mid stage from Bahamut to Chocobo

*raises gun* Allways has been.
Anthrocobo
Naniwazuni is forever immortalized in that neck lengthening feature lol
Nani got banned from the virtual youtubers wiki for making selen's neck longer pixel by pixel over a few weeks, right? I love that guy.
What a legend
It’s a gigachad move
I thought Nani was immortalized in a certain witches fan Discord stream.
@@nnnik3595 what did nani do in the stream???
A big middle finger to kurosanji with this one. She's saying while they may own the rights to the Selen character she IS Selen and there is nothing they can do that will ever change that.
Even better, she is Doki.
another good thing is mama owns all her designs so they can't do jack without her saying i want all my designs back get new models

Its ALL THE SAME PICTURE

The scars on the arm. Oof. Deep lore and it made me involuntarily wince. I'm so glad she's doing so much better now.
It's also a reference. Selen had scars like that on her dragon arm
Love how she can't even count to zero without laughing in every number lol
She's mentioned before that she laughs when she's anxious. This was a big moment for her and I'm glad it paid off.
@@jor4114 Uh huh, I can confirm that happens
