Roboco Falls Short on NIKKE Anniversary Pulls but Finishes the Story Mission

HOLOLIVE — Roboco, the Hololive virtual robot, ended the gacha portion of a sponsored Goddess of Victory: NIKKE broadcast on Sunday without the character it had come for. The first of three missions set for the game’s fourth anniversary was to bring home Marian, and after a session that ran to 30 minutes, Roboco moved on without her.

Roboco opened by saying the stream’s theme was proving that a high-performance robot is not “pon,” then laid out the three missions: pull Marian, clear the anniversary story from chapters 1 through 5, and hit the target in the anniversary minigame. After watching two promotional videos together with viewers, Roboco began pulling.

“I can still go. I can keep pulling.” — Roboco, as the gacha session neared its limit

The session had been planned to last until about 20 minutes. Roboco asked to keep going, then asked for more time again, and eventually stopped when the half hour was up. Many characters came up, but not the one Roboco wanted. “I can still go. I can keep pulling,” Roboco said near the end, and afterward called it frustrating while pointing out how many cute characters had turned up anyway.

Roboco then started the story from the gacha screen, with Marian’s tale. In it, a doctor repeatedly sends out new copies of Marian, who keep dying on the surface. Roboco reacted with dismay as the toll mounted, and noted that Marian asked to carry on, saying that watching the doctor give up would hurt more than the pain of the mission. The streamer skipped through the remaining chapters on the game’s recommendation and counted the story mission as cleared.

The minigame turned out to be a text-choice game in which each wrong choice ended in a loss, including a run that ended with a cat. Roboco did not clear it. In the results segment, Roboco listed the pull mission as missed, the story mission as cleared and the minigame as attempted, and told viewers to try the game themselves.

In chat, viewers answered the pulls with jokes about the odds and signed off with the channel’s usual farewell.
