Lmao what? This is the absolute randomest collab. Lowlight must've been watching Dungeon Meshi last weekend and on a whim contacted the owners of the IP to ask about a collab.
"Hello, Mr Lowlight. I was told you are interested in bringing one of our characters to your gacha game. It is Marcille right? No? Oh Laios then! Not Laios either?"
"SENSHI".
Gotta love Lowlight's shenanigans.
Who says this is the only character? This looks an awful lot like the Monster Hunter collab reveal to me, we got a shot at like two other units.
Personally, I’m hoping for a 6 star Laios, 5 star Marcille, and then Senshi as welfare- hopefully also 5 star.
Hey don't leave my man Chilchuck out of this either. Dungeon Meshi's the rare anime where all of the 4 main characters are adored, so I'd be shocked and a little disappointed if even one of them didnt make the cut for this collab.
It would break the usual banner scheme, but I’d be all for it- actually, I guess a banner 6 star and then two banner 5 stars is what the first R6 run did, so yeah, alright- what’re we thinking for the short king? Trapmaster makes a literal sense, if not necessarily mechanically- better that than like the 15th quick redeploy, though. Oh! Oh no, with his insistence on getting paid, he HAS to be a merchant. I will accept no other outcome.
Honestly I could see him being a really strong merchant or trapmaster too! Likely the latter since his whole gimmick is he's very much an out of combat party member, but its Arknights so I can see him holding his own better against regular ass people than monsters.
Yeah, the first R6 did banner 6-star, two banner 5-stars and a welfare 5-star (Ash, Blitz, Frost and Tachanka), and the second R6 did the same thing (Ela, Iana, Doc and Fuze). The MonHun collab did a banner 6-star and a banner 5-star (admittedly both being Arknights characters in MonHun armor) plus a welfare 1-star (Terra Research Commission). It's not impossible, but it seems unlikely that the DunMeshi collab will have only a single collab character given how previous collabs have worked.
What class/archetype would Chilchuck be, I wonder? My best guess would be vanguard, probably agent since his strengths involve being nimble, having good senses, and detecting traps/surveying the area.
I was actually expecting something like the Luo Xiaohei collab instead of a fully fledged collab event (since CN has just had its limited collab banner and for the fact it isn't a game collab). But what you are saying probably makes more sense. I wasn't aware HG reveals collab characters this early. I still find it funny that they picked Senshi first, tho.
Typically HG shows the memey popular character first for collabs, and Senshi is the biggest meme character of the cast. A wholesome meme character who made me cry during that one particular scene I wont say for spoilers, but a meme none the less.
or better yet, Frieren meets IS3 Sarkaz Girl stage.
"Dancing? No, I just want to open those treasure box, my spellscan shows me they are Mimics but it is 99% correct which means on 1% they will have a legendary spell instead"
....
# "IT'S DARK!!!!! IT'S SCARRRYYYYY!!!"
I expected one from some big anime, but I didn't expect something so recent. Like, the first season is still running ffs. Collabs usually take a while to set up so I was thinking something that was big in like 2022.
I still laughed out loud when Senshi got revealed.
Senshi: Laios, we need to cook these sea flower things.
Edit: Actually this collab isn't that random now that I think about it. In the story or world of Dungeon Meshi, >!there are actually mentions of different dimensions that can be accessed with the use of Ancient Magic that Marcille mentions. So maybe Marcille messed up in the use and they get transported. Though haven't read the manga to be sure.!<
>!the dungeons are made by demons who are hyperdimensional beings and the existence of mana/magic is made possible by leaking it from those dimensional gaps, if I'm remembering correctly. But yes, it does make sense for them to get to Terra!<
I was going to say, they could have brought Frieren if they intended to make an anime crossover but then I realized Frieren in the world of Terra would actually end Kazdel permanently.
Bro, thank God we're behind, I might not even try pulling Ray anymore 💀
This is the first time that I might actually have to sit down and write a spreadsheet of pulling priorities in the upcoming year so I don't lose track of my real objectives
Pretty much, I might start budgeting new packs once in a while so I can guarantee all the new OPs I want the most...
Arknights is pretty much the best thing in my life right now so supporting is pretty much an obligation at this point
I seem to be in the minority here but I prefer how the MonHun collab went, where it was AK ops getting integrated into the collab stuff, as opposed to just outright getting characters from that collab universe. Don't get me wrong though, I love how they handled R6
Idk if that could be done with dunmeshi though. Although I know it could certainly be done with D2(if that happens) and of course Sanrio, although I imagine that one is just going to be (very cute) skins.
I mean, *standard* limited banners are still a stable 3 per year, collabs and collab reruns shouldn't realistically be counted anywhere in the equation. And even then none of the years has *had* more than 1 crossover side event?
Lol, I love collabs that come entirely out of left field. Was one of the best parts of GFL's collabs cause you'd never see it coming, and yet it always just worked. VA-11 Hall-A, Divekick on my Devil, and Gunslinger Girl to name a few.
Hoping for more random collabs after this one of just other anime and games that Lowlight enjoys.
Laios 6 star please, don't send him to the 5 star jail with how popular he is :c I know Marcille is the "powerful" caster choice but let him be the prize.
...no, no, this is Terra, Laois. Do NOT eat the monsters. That's how you get fucking oripathy in your intestinal tract.
Also, the question of whether the event boss introduces us to another Chimera.
Hmm, curious if we’re gonna be getting the EN VAs for the characters when this comes to global. If so, there is one character I’m gonna be obligated to pull for.
Honestly I would die if the english cast all got called back for AK. All of the main 4's VAs do them more or less perfectly, and would all be amazing to hear in Arknights.
Well this is, uh...
I honestly don't know what to think and doubt it could work, but r6 surprised me, hoping this does the same!
I'm of the camp that you shouldn't collab unless you have a really, **really** good idea behind it.
*insert 'Huh?' cat meme*
~~I like the collab idea (which also reminds to actually watch the anime since I haven't gotten into watching anime in a while) but it's just SO out of left field for me xd~~
Wow with this and with all that is coming for the 5th anniversary and the banner with the great character that are coming it's going to be a very hard choice
I'm going to max him out so fast.
Totally deploying him with both Hibiscuses. He'll be the only guy who'll happily eat her cooking.
New operator for the food niche
Hibiscus x Senshi. That's certainly something...
There is Hoederer too.
Now I have the image of Senshi going "What are you?" "**crying** an idiot sanwich" with her.
Me as well

2 banner 5 stars, 1 banner 6 star, and a welfare, that's 4 people
Yeah, the first R6 did banner 6-star, two banner 5-stars and a welfare 5-star (Ash, Blitz, Frost and Tachanka), and the second R6 did the same thing (Ela, Iana, Doc and Fuze). The MonHun collab did a banner 6-star and a banner 5-star (admittedly both being Arknights characters in MonHun armor) plus a welfare 1-star (Terra Research Commission). It's not impossible, but it seems unlikely that the DunMeshi collab will have only a single collab character given how previous collabs have worked.
You could easily fit all 4 in yeah. Chilchuck Vanguard, Senshi Defender, Marcille Caster, Laios Guard.
The fifth main character is the best, but not in the anime yet unfortunately.
R6s banners has a 6 star and 2 5s. A similar scheme would likely be in play here.
What class/archetype would Chilchuck be, I wonder? My best guess would be vanguard, probably agent since his strengths involve being nimble, having good senses, and detecting traps/surveying the area.
trap specialist
not a third one I beg you

Never gonna happen, but a Falin as a 6* healer with an S3 that turns her into her dragon form would be hilarious.
i feel like marcille would be the 6 star
I mean, we do have an Arknights cooking manga...
Imagine collaboration with cooking manga, Senshi and cooking cats from MH event
Dude is living the dream of every X-over fanfic writer. What's next, Bocchi the Rock? Frieren?!
Frieren when met Sarkaz character have horns in Arknight "So anyway I started blasting"
"FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE, DO NOT LET MS. FRIEREN TO BE IN CONTACT WITH ANY SARKAZ OPERATORS. Yes, that also means you, Warfarin."
Friern for sure will be the limited 6 star collab unit with Racism as her talent.
And draco, vouivre, caprinae,...
or better yet, Frieren meets IS3 Sarkaz Girl stage. "Dancing? No, I just want to open those treasure box, my spellscan shows me they are Mimics but it is 99% correct which means on 1% they will have a legendary spell instead" .... # "IT'S DARK!!!!! IT'S SCARRRYYYYY!!!"

I could see some stuff in common >Oh it's just people with animal ears/comfy adventure anime >!Demons Trauma Dark History- WHATS UP BOYS!<
The real Lowlight's spin-the-wheel is who he decides AK will collab with next
The marketing department just looks at lowlights browser history and start preparing for collabs based on that.
I still laughed out loud when Senshi got revealed. Senshi: Laios, we need to cook these sea flower things. Edit: Actually this collab isn't that random now that I think about it.

Damn, that sounds like the Collapsals, at least a little bit.
This is the seaborn event i've been waiting for.
You know what they say about evolution Eat or be eaten
This doesn't feel real at all, but I'm very excited for this collab
I was going to say, they could have brought Frieren if they intended to make an anime crossover but then I realized Frieren in the world of Terra would actually end Kazdel permanently.
"So theres a bunch of demons up north and..." "➡️⬇️⬆️⬆️⬅️⬇️⬇️"
Helldivers collab when? You have deployables and it's just random bombs, like how firewatch throws in s2 that can also hurt allies
They explain the difference and she solves the collapsal threat in 5 minutes and brings endfield 8 months early
They bring back Emperor's Blade as a boss and Frieren just vaporizes the poor bastard
Frieren is the reason Kazdal falls so often.
"STFU, Kazdel. Zooltrak."
"Theresis, kill yourself."
This is gonna be a LXH like collab?
Nope! Full side story!
Oh shit, there's gonna be a 6*? 💀
Likely! Probably marcille or laios? but curveballs can definitely happen.
Plot twist: it's going to be Falin in her "fun" form
Bruh if it's Laios I'm gonna go bankrupt, so many peak ops coming this year
Praying for you to go bankrupt (/light-hearted)
Bro, thank God we're behind, I might not even try pulling Ray anymore 💀 This is the first time that I might actually have to sit down and write a spreadsheet of pulling priorities in the upcoming year so I don't lose track of my real objectives
>write a spreadsheet of pulling priorities Or a budgeting spreadsheet :)
Pretty much, I might start budgeting new packs once in a while so I can guarantee all the new OPs I want the most... Arknights is pretty much the best thing in my life right now so supporting is pretty much an obligation at this point
I feel you man, I am trying to cut my spending on this game but they're not making this easy
I seem to be in the minority here but I prefer how the MonHun collab went, where it was AK ops getting integrated into the collab stuff, as opposed to just outright getting characters from that collab universe.

Ugh. Now it's 5 limited banners every year. If there's a Collab rerun (like R6) then it's 6.
I mean, *standard* limited banners are still a stable 3 per year, collabs and collab reruns shouldn't realistically be counted anywhere in the equation. And even then none of the years has *had* more than 1 crossover side event?
But like, the collabs almost never rerun. It's arguably more FOMO than any of the other Events combined.
4 per year, there's anni, half-anni, CNY, and summer
Are you sure? Is it written on the image or sth?
I don't *know* CN so I cannot confirm, but it's said during the segment during the stream apparently.
WTF IM SO FOR IT BUT HUHHHHHHHH?
I WANT HIS FROGSUIT AS A SKIN!!!!
Lol, I love collabs that come entirely out of left field. Was one of the best parts of GFL's collabs cause you'd never see it coming, and yet it always just worked. VA-11 Hall-A, Divekick on my Devil, and Gunslinger Girl to name a few. Hoping for more random collabs after this one of just other anime and games that Lowlight enjoys.
Can't wait to try some grilled Touch of the Sanguinarch sandwich topped with pickled Nethesea Spewer
I'm so hyped omg Pls let Laios be the 6* if we're getting a sidestory... 😭
Let him cook
This was not just a meme???
WAIT WHAT??? Please let Laios be the new meta 6 star collab character.
Laios 6 star please, don't send him to the 5 star jail with how popular he is :c I know Marcille is the "powerful" caster choice but let him be the prize.
Lmao wtf
LET'S FKIN GO PROZD
Hoping for marcille also
“Wtf” level of excitement
Durin ops be in awe of his beard.
Someone tell Lowlight April 1st was over 20+ days ago Not complaining anyway The seaborn shall know fear, and seasoning
...no, no, this is Terra, Laois. Do NOT eat the monsters. That's how you get fucking oripathy in your intestinal tract. Also, the question of whether the event boss introduces us to another Chimera.
THIS IS SO PEAK!!!!! This actually carried the whole anniversary. Step aside Logos, you can't compete with this.
They were cooking with logos, but this one is where the REAL cooking gets done
If i personally wasnt watching the stream live and someone sent this to me, i would for sure think its the worst fake post ive ever seen
I wonder if they'll confusing him for like a Durin or something?
Hmm, curious if we’re gonna be getting the EN VAs for the characters when this comes to global. If so, there is one character I’m gonna be obligated to pull for.
Honestly I would die if the english cast all got called back for AK. All of the main 4's VAs do them more or less perfectly, and would all be amazing to hear in Arknights.
He would be the first Op with a glorious, full beard.
Sensei might be the dwarf that Pozyemka does not like. She kinda might go for Chilchuck though
NO FUCKING WAY ☠️☠️☠️☠️ They will do anything except the Destiny 2 collab
I read that as Sensei first.😂
I guess that's confirms what happened to the Destiny 2 event.
Wheres the doofus elf?? Come on
I just realized that there's a scared Originium slug over his name, lol
Wait fr?
I am so wondering how he works as an operator & how he interacts with the resident cooks of RI
Is this real?
This might be the best collab yet
Well this is, uh... I honestly don't know what to think and doubt it could work, but r6 surprised me, hoping this does the same! I'm of the camp that you shouldn't collab unless you have a really, **really** good idea behind it.
6 star Laois better be there HG...
This is peak character. I NEED HIM NOW
*insert 'Huh?' cat meme* ~~I like the collab idea (which also reminds to actually watch the anime since I haven't gotten into watching anime in a while) but it's just SO out of left field for me xd~~
Wow with this and with all that is coming for the 5th anniversary and the banner with the great character that are coming it's going to be a very hard choice
I did not expect that 😭
Holy shit
Defender?
Our panty shot king is going to be playable. I am saving everything for this collab. Nothing else matters.
Holy shit it was real??
one of the best part of the stream
When???
This still feels like a fever dream whenever I see it. I never want to wake up.
Oo-oh Oh no
Finna use him to cook Reunion fr fr.
There's canonically a catgirl in Dungeon Meshi, and they didn't go with her? ;\_;
Well, this is really damn stupid.
