i never got why he was called hessian lobo until like two days ago when i listened to a podcast about the burton sleepy hollow and they namedropped that the headless horseman is named hessian

also the name reveal screens are real cool

The headless horseman wasn't named hessian, but he was -a- hessian: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hessian_%28soldier%29

I love the Headless Horseman being a part of Lobo because it's a duo man act of characters who actually can't talk so that makes for a lot of funny comics even if the game itself doesn't like trying to convey that so he's only been in two things.

Which doesn't really much sense. The 5th Singularity had most of the US population killed off, including George Washington before he became President. Even if we changed history so that they were killed by a plague instead of marauding Celts, that would have a huge impact on history.

Literally everyone in Babylonia died, including Gilgamesh.

The Hessian doesn't have much personality or strong preferences, but he does like his dog. :3:

What a guy.

Just from having Lobo on JP, the main difference is just not having the third phantom. Lobo starts off cautious about you, but comes to like Guda/ko as much as he likes anyone. Lobo's Valentine's day scene is very sweet.

The Hessian never interacts with you in your room, so no goofy pantomiming antics, sadly.

Well technically only the people killed by the Goddess alliance or the demonic beasts killed actually die. Anyone killed by Tiamat, the Lahmu’s, or the Mud get to have their deaths declared invalid by the cleanup force.

I just learned that Chaldea was a country in Mesopotamia that briefly ruled Babylon.

The book that contained the first translation of the Enuma Elish was titled “The Chaldean Account of Genesis”

I guess the 7th Singularity was pretty predictable, huh?

Three banners in the last two months where I've rolled the SSR in my first 10, and *crickets* as far as the SR I actually wanted is concerned. Not sure how I feel about this bizarre monkey's paw. Anyway I'm part of the "rolled for doggo and got a suspicious crime grandpa instead" gang now :confuoot:

Both times that I aimed for a 4 star, I got the 5 star first. I was a bit annoyed when they both showed up.

So am I to understand that even if I don't summon the Archer of Shinjuku, there will be future appearances of the dorky grandpa? Cause he's a fun character to interact with.

He plays a major role in Summer 2 event and secondary roles in a few other events like Murder at the Kougetsukan.

And apparently he'll be important to this year's CBC, which has a story involved.

Now that we are in a post-Merlin world I've come to sort of not care about tickets (I had saved up a lot of tickets for that period), they are for "aw, gently caress it" attempts that I don't feel too bad about afterwards. The true despair now just comes from SQ.

He shows up in GSSRs/Lucky Bag and singularity banners, but your best chance to try getting him again is a solo rateup during the next New Years.

Actually, he gets a solo rateup on a Shinjuku banner before Agartha's release, so that's your next chance.

Moriarty was in June and the Shinjuku banner during anniversary with Holmes sharing a rateup was a month later. If you mess up next banner you have another chance a month later, but it's shared.
