00:52 - 02:39
2. Siren's Survival Chances and Role in Gluttony's Belly
Siren is likely still alive inside Gluttony's belly.
If she escaped, there would be sightings, but there haven't been any so far.
She may have left traces through bubbles inside Gluttony's belly.
02:40 - 05:20
3. Analyzing the Connection Between Gluttony and Dark Matter
Gluttony is likely made of Dark Matter, which is related to Siren's survival.
Gluttony's massive size and sudden appearance are reminiscent of Dark Matter and Leviathan's abilities.
Siren is probably using her bubbles to survive inside Gluttony.
05:21 - 06:42
4. Leviathan's Ominous Bubble Depiction
The current form of Leviathan appearing in the bubble could be a hint that Siren is aware of the outside situation from inside Gluttony.
It's also possible that Siren and Leviathan have merged.
06:43 - 08:20
5. 2.5-Year Anniversary Story Prediction
The 2.5-year anniversary story will likely follow Cinderella and Grave tracking Gluttony using the bubbles, along with the story of Uni and Mihara.
We expect lore about Dark Matter and Uni's chimera form to be revealed.
08:21 - 09:06
6. 2.5-Year Anniversary Boss and Pickup Character Predictions
The 2.5-year anniversary boss is very likely to be Gluttony, and the pickup character will be Siren.
The free character is expected to be one of Mihara, Uni, or Leviathan.
09:07 - 10:32
7. Leviathan's Release Potential and Mihara & Uni's Spec Analysis
Leviathan might be difficult to release right away due to her connection to the main story.
Mihara is expected to be a pickup character because of her looks, but she lacks overpowered lore.
Players are hoping that Mihara will be a pickup and Uni will be a free character.
10:33 - 13:34
8. In-Depth Analysis of Mihara and Uni's Pickup/Free Character Potential
Mihara lacks the in-story lore to be overpowered, and there's no precedent for running a Pilgrim pickup and a regular NIKKE pickup at the same time.
Uni could awaken in her chimera state and come out overpowered.
In conclusion, Uni is more likely to be a free character, but it's uncertain whether Mihara and Uni will both be pickup characters.
13:35 - 18:14
9. New Interpretation of the Phobist Race
The Phobists, including Leviathan, are likely a new race different from the existing Heretics, Raptures, and NIKKEs.
Dark Matter also influenced Modernia and Rapi's awakening and is related to the Phobist race's characteristic tattoos.
Beymos's meaningful words to the Commander may be related to the Phobist race's reproductive abilities.
