Airani Iofifteen Makes Her First Apex Purchase for the Godzilla Event, Then Hunts for Him

HOLOLIVE — Airani Iofifteen made her first in-game purchase in Apex Legends on Wednesday to chase the game’s Godzilla collaboration, then played the event with fellow Hololive talent Natsuiro Matsuri before carrying on alone through a stream that ran nearly three hours.

Iofi opened by saying she had been lured in by Godzilla and had not yet unlocked any of the monster’s cosmetics. She started opening event packs on stream, with Matsuri advising her on how the collection fills in. Along the way she pulled a Mothra-themed frame and the Devotion skin, joked that her credit card company would want to confirm it was really her, and about 21 minutes in landed the Bloodhound skin she had been after. She completed the collection a few minutes later, which unlocked a Godzilla melee weapon for Bloodhound.

“All of it. The way he can shoot a beam, the little ears, the little eyes.” — Airani Iofifteen, asked what she likes about Godzilla

When the match began, Godzilla appeared on the map. Matsuri explained that its radiation does heavy damage and that players are meant to shelter behind walls; Iofi said she wanted to be hit by the beam anyway. The pair followed its footsteps and the warning sirens that came before each blast, and chased the event-only care packages that carry a weapon firing the same kind of beam. Iofi was caught in crossfire more than once while watching Godzilla, then got close enough to see it standing right in front of her. Matsuri, who said she knew little about Godzilla, joined in the cheering. Chat responded with a flood of Godzilla and Matsuri emotes.

Matsuri signed off about an hour and 23 minutes in, calling it a fun Godzilla collab and saying she would like to play Apex with Iofi again. Iofi said she was not done and wanted to take a proper look at Godzilla. She bought the event pass, spent a long stretch rotating the event cosmetics for a closer look, and kept playing matches until the close. Late in the stream she joked that her next original song might be about wanting to be shot by a beam.
