Goddess of Victory: Nikke: Is the narrative and plausibility of over-spec Nikkes really dependent on 'time'?This video delves into the narrative and its plausibility for the 'Over Spec' Nikkes appearing in Goddess of Victory: Nikke. It analyzes how context and expression, rather than just the duration of the narrative, determine plausibility, using examples from various characters like Rapi, Mihara, Neon, and Anis.
1. 🎮 The Emergence and Significance of 'Over Spec' Nikkes
· Recently, the Nikke story has seen a new trend with the appearance of 'Over Spec' Nikkes, whose performance is incomparable to existing Nikkes.
· Although created in the Ark, they meet special conditions or possess unique elements, bearing a distinctive symbol combining a corporate mark and a cross shape, and are treated on par with the Pilgrims.
· Story-wise, they fight on equal footing with existing enemies or escape crises with unexpected abilities, acting beyond conventional values.
· The physical characteristics of Over Spec Nikkes originate from Lost Technology, established by D.E.A. (Deep) using Nikke technology after the Rapture invasion over a century ago. The intervention of D.E.A. always provides plausibility to their narratives.

2. 🤔 Narrative Plausibility of Over Spec Nikkes: Time vs. Content
· The playable and story-featured Over Spec Nikkes (Rapi, Mihara, As, Neon) were all originally human, having lived different lives and experiences.
· Some users compared Rapi's and Mihara's narratives, deeming Mihara's story less plausible due to its shorter duration.
· However, plausibility is judged not merely by the length of the narrative, but by whether the story and the process leading to the conclusion within that time are logically established.
· In other words, the plausibility of a narrative should be assessed based on how well the content within it is expressed, not just its duration or length.

3. 🤝 Rapi and Mihara: Narrative Differences Between Supporter and Companion
· Rapi and Mihara share common growth narrative elements: unfortunate childhood environments, meeting a supporter/companion after becoming Nikkes, and the resolve to overcome these hardships.
· Rapi's narrative involved Red Hood, a supporter who had everything, guiding her growth and leaving a positive impression outside the game, influencing the judgment of plausibility.
· In contrast, Yuni, who accompanied Mihara, was mentally immature and her extreme actions formed a negative perception. This created a difference, leading to Mihara's narrative also unfolding imperfectly.
· Ultimately, the narrative differences between Rapi and Mihara stemmed from the characteristics of their supporters/companions, their shared experiences, and the timing and method of D.E.A.'s technological intervention.

4. 💡 Neon's Narrative: Plausible Growth in a Short Time
· Neon's narrative also follows a pattern similar to Rapi and Mihara, and she was able to become Over Spec through a new transformation in Chapter 43.
· Despite appearing from the beginning, Neon had almost no personal narrative until her body separation experience in Chapter 24, the revelation of her past in Chapter 43, and D.E.A.'s intervention provided a new stepping stone.
· Neon's narrative, completed within a single episode, demonstrates a level of completeness and plausibility despite its short duration, reaffirming that the method of expressing content is a crucial factor in determining plausibility.

5. 🎤 Anis's Narrative: Growth as an Idol and Remaining Challenges
· Anis shares similarities with other Nikkes in terms of growth motivation and D.E.A. technology intervention in her body's development, but lacks plausibility due to the absence of expressed past stories and a clear supporter.
· The reason she received the 'Star' extended weapon from Privaty and her lack of past experiences with Privaty are not sufficiently expressed, failing to adequately convey the plausibility of Anis needing to inherit Privaty's value.
· Furthermore, despite obtaining a new body and neutralizing a powerful entity, she shows instability by lacking confidence in her abilities, indicating her narrative and growth are not yet complete.
· Her journey to awaken her value as an idol involves numerous aids, presenting a different development from other Nikkes. It is expected that the narrative completeness will be confirmed in future stories as her relationship with Privaty and other aspects are revealed.
