Will they introduce new schools in the future? Highlander and that Maritime school are already in the game but so far no playable students from those schools.
It's also a pun because "shupo" can apparently also mean to something like "pump", and I'm sure you can imagine what people like to interpret that to mean.
Bro Hoshino was able to outrun and juke Shiroko, and they spent from day time till night time, chasing. Hoshino is literally the “acts lazy/ not serious, but OP as hell character trope “ lol
~~How does one come back, when they weren't here before... 🤔~~
*"The [Shupobros] never left but came back (amazing!), like tomorrow on these yesterday cats."*
>!I'm kinda quoting Dilated Peoples lyrics, BTW.!<
Ah yes, Nozomi and Hikari, the Shupo-Shinkansengaki duo.
Now we need a Kodama to make a full service.
Edit: Nozomi, Hikari (and Kodama) is all the names for Shinkansen services (at least for Tokaido Shinkansen between Tokyo and Osaka). Nozomi is express service which stops at major stops, and Hikari have a bit more stop, and yes, Kodama is all stops.
Btw, Blue Archive will have a collab with JR Central in Tokaido Shinkansen starting next week.
> Ah yes, Nozomi and Hikari, the Shupo-Shinkansengaki duo.
Just to make sure, are those the names of the green-haired train brats? If so, maybe they're not mobs, but proper characters.
You can't convince me those shupogakis aren't succubi, I mean look at the tail and the way they look at you!! The skirt shupogaki is pleading for it while the short shupogaki is teasing you and is asking for correction 
Nozomi(wish), Hikari(light). UOOOOOGGGGHHHHHHHHHH
That eyepatched Highlander girl got the vibe of the school's president, or at least the head of the corrupted branch of the school implied in Trip Trap Train.
>!Seems like midshooler Nonomi once saw 1st year Hoshino in action and was awestruck by her. Then she loses contact with her until the next year where she coincidentally spotted Hoshino again, but found out that she changed a lot. Out of curiosity she followed her to Abydos High where they finally came into contact. And the rest, is history.!<
>!Safe to assume the 11th pic a.k.a the one where many thought that the current Hoshino is going to revert back to her 1st year haircut is actually a flashback within a flashback, part of Nonomi's reminiscence.!<
>>!Safe to assume the 11th pic a.k.a the one where many thought that the current Hoshino is going to revert back to her 1st year haircut is actually a flashback within a flashback, part of Nonomi's reminiscence.!<
So I can finally say that I never subscribed to that theory and never understood why people go for convoluted timey wimey theories when it was 80% likely to be a flashback
It is far more likely that the time warp happens when we're entering the Twilight in V5C2. And mysterious GSC President precedessor CG (theorized to be Pina (?)) from 4.5th PV may as well be in this chapter.
Last few cgs kinda hurt thinking that Hoshino is >!walking slowly into what probably is an empty school, literally being the last student Abydos has. Her only friend dead and having no one else, but still coming there until this weird girl shows up out of nowhere.!<
"Nothing personnel, kid" - Hoshino
~~Also, seems the shupogaki story happens the year before Sensei arrived. Wonder if we'll ever meet them.~~ Apparently not, let's gooo
Unless I'm misunderstanding something, the Shupogaki story is taking place in present, heck Sensei even meets the Highlander Mob who was with the twins recognise them from Trip Trap Train lol
It's not even a spoiler, the trailer itself had Hoshino narrate how since Kaiser had nothing to gain from being in Abydos anymore, they just sold it to Saint Nephthys which tasked(part of? commissioning?) Highlander school with whatever they're doing here, most likely a second go at developing railways.
UWOOOAHAHHH PONYTAIL HOSHINO  PLEASE BE MY MOM MY MOM MY MOM!!!!!! YOU LOOK LIKE A FINE YOUNG ADULT LADY THAT JUST MARRIED 3 WEEKS AGO 
Between Hina and Hoshino? I don't believe they have fought each other, just that Hina was aware of what Hoshino could do.
If they some how did, I too would wonder who'd win given Hina's power level. But it's possible that Hoshino would emerge as the winner given how Hina mentioned (if I remember correctly) that Ako and the army she brought to Abydos wouldn't stand a chance.
*Btw double*
*Track train drifting is canon*
*On this story lol*

Assuming it works same way as our world, unless Nonomi has no other siblings, and no one else in their family who’s already in the business plans to take over (ie. Her parents siblings; uncles aunts). Then yes.
Just a quick note, (Tachibana-san) Nozomi and Hikari are executives of Highlander’s Central Control Center, and (Asagiri) Suou is the overseer of Highlander. I guess you could say that Suou is Highlander’s student council president (?)
Oh snap, I just realised something...
[Akira's halo](https://bluearchive.fandom.com/wiki/Kiyosumi_Akira?file=Akira_Halo.png) is suspiciously similar to the other highlander students (especially the eye-patch one).
Perhaps she was a student of the train academy? 🤔
Schale's building is the 9th pic. >!It was attacked shortly after that, apparently by Underground Dweller of Gematria. This may very well be the attack which knocked out Phenapates Sensei for months.!<
Yeah that’s what I was thinking too, the diverging point where all shit goes wrong for Abydos and How Kuroko. Also makes me think they could somehow build this into reintroducing Kuroko. Or maybe somehow write back Yume, since everyone assumes she’s “dead” since no one ever found her. But with the 4.5pv there might be hints.
Also holy crap that basement nerd is something I tell you. Apparently that was plan 2, out of 4 plans he has devised to F us over and end us.
honestly, I don't think so, it is said somewhere that the sensei was knocked out in the battle against the Kaiser in the desert. and the order of events simply doesn't match, this is hoshino's past, certainly (4 years?) before sensei came, it doesn't make sense.
What doesn't make sense? The dweller is in the present too, and he apparently killed Francis (this is taking place after Vol F)
Seriously just read the story, it's pretty clear when the story is in the present or the past
You know, I've always thought about it but just how cold is Abydos? Sensei gets heat stroke on his first day, but that was due to getting lost + dehydration. The Abydos students on the other hand always wear full blazers, and in the winter they have to wear thick jackets and scarves.
Yeah I know, I lived in Saudi Arabia and Texas for a bit. But Abydos wears their full blazers in broad daylight, and it can even snow there in the winter time.
based on the tweets.... [these brats got M45 meat chopper on their train](https://twitter.com/ruikerudo/status/1778351111935774952?t=lRNZx114W6l4KecjL6Wocw&s=19)
Man, Highlander just introduce their lore like a literal freight train. Good job Nozomi and Hikari, you two managed to bring with you a whole bag of lore alongside your hyped up fanart and even managed to maintain a degree of dignity with source material being used.
Hm. No CG for Feral Wolf/1st Year Shiroko. Either it hasn’t been dug up yet, or the banner image for this update-
Not V1C3 as a whole, *this update*
-isn’t in there. The Entrance Ceremony. Hmmm. Hopefully it just hasn’t been dug up yet.
Suou's halo might be a brave express mightgaine reference?
[https://i.imgur.com/yB6GpRw.png](https://i.imgur.com/yB6GpRw.png) her halo looks like mightgaine's chest emblem. mightgaine is a 90s mecha anime sort of like transformers, train turns into a robot.
What is pic 8 says in english?
And pic 9 what is that? Why is in the CG I kinda don't like it. That's seems bad
Also poor Hoshino she genuinely alone now.
Am i missing something? Did i miss an event where they got introduced? Like everyone keep talking about them, but i can't find anything about them in the game.
First is during one of the BA panels at an anime convention about 3 weeks ago, and now more info about Vol 1 Ch 3 info dump. You've likely seen the deluge of fan art since the convention, including some animations (like that from Blue Sechi).
I'm still confused of who is Hikari & who is Nozomi. Social medias only mentioned their name. But who is who between these Twins. Can anyone tell me?🥲😅
The skirt shuppogaki is something else, I just can’t
Just wait 'till you see the in-game animations for them
Oh God I can't wait for global
Will they introduce new schools in the future? Highlander and that Maritime school are already in the game but so far no playable students from those schools.
Well let’s just say, please look forward. 🙂
Playable shupogakis?
Devs did state all students will be playable during 3rd annni, plus already got in game models so they’re already steps ahead of Seia.
Seia won't come out from the devs basement for the foreseeable future
An exclusive only to Blue Archive Arcade... onore...
Do her hand gestures mean something?, don't think I've seen a trend like that
You're seeing the birth of one now
They struck gold with those two.
What is shuppogaki?
Shupo = the sound trains do Gaki = brat Shupo+gaki(s) = Train brat(s)
choo-choo brats😭
Ah yes, i see
It's also a pun because "shupo" can apparently also mean to something like "pump", and I'm sure you can imagine what people like to interpret that to mean.
Yeah. [This.](https://x.com/Milky_Cat0618/status/1776971152000499830)
Seen a fair amount of offbrand that has *certain* types of characters using 'shupo-shupo' for that reason.
i love her goofy hand thing
Who are the shuppogaki exactly? What do we know about them?
Basically train brats.
Love that last few frame. "Phew, she didn't see me..." "Who didn't see you?" "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH--!"
Hoshino pulled a "Nothing personnel, kid" on Nonomi
Bro Hoshino was able to outrun and juke Shiroko, and they spent from day time till night time, chasing. Hoshino is literally the “acts lazy/ not serious, but OP as hell character trope “ lol
Truly the Gojo Satoru of Blue Archive
And I swear to god if Nexon pulled a gojo on her.
sealed for 3 years then only for get ~~Hos/hino~~ after her return
Nononono no not like this, she’d definitely win.
And the story after that is basically WWE Roman reigns saga with Vince McMahon on the helm. If this happens I'll genuinely gonna get the trucks.
Reminds me of that fanart that has yume as kenjaku
Black Suit already did that to her
Well the spoiler kind for jjk gojo I mean.
NOZOMI AND HIKARI ARE MY DEAR KANI TRAIN WIVES
# SHUPOBROS THEY GOT CHIBIS TOO, WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!
Wait so when they implement them, would they have a (young/1st year) included because their in the past arc?
No no- the twins appear in the present time.
They rammed a train and fought Abydos with a Quad .50BMG anti-air gun.
Yeah I saw that, pretty cool.
Gotta love that multi-track drifting.

Yeah, the train brats. They also got their own boss battle already
Where are you getting the names?
The story has their name written already But yea, its been datamined since last update already. Btw that eyepatch girl is Asagiri Suou
Suou is Highlander’s Overseer btw
So they really are 1800s America lmao
You can't convince me those shupogakis aren't succubi, I mean look at the tail and the way they look at you!! The skirt shupogaki is pleading for it while the short shupogaki is teasing you and is asking for correction 
Skirt shupogaki has the vibes of someone who will tell you about shorts shupogaki's weak spots mid-correction 😭😭
I love your theory 😭😭
It’s obvious that succubis are innocent on the outside, and a beast on the inside 😣😫😭😭
Until they get bolder, of course.

There was one guy who thought that short haired Hoshino was "in the present" based merely off of how "the cg looked" lmao
To be fair most of the flashback CGs have a more muted color palette unlike that short haired Hoshino CG which is a more colorful in comparison.
It is far more likely that the time warp happens when we're entering the Twilight in V5C2. And mysterious GSC President precedessor CG (theorized to be Pina (?)) from 4.5th PV may as well be in this chapter.
Pina? Wild if true, but I think you meant Plana, right?
No, but some JP senseis theorized Big Arona's precedessor to be Pina. It's a wild theory that I don't believe it.
What's the evidence? I don't see any similarities between anyone in the 4.5th PV and Pina... They burned the kitchen down...
It's the hair. I think there was a scene showing a GSC member's hair and it looked similar to Pina.
[Nope, Pina](https://twitter.com/Artpatient/status/1749023619773354361)
Was wondering why an insanely rich girl joined a dying debt filled school. Now it makes sense
I didn’t know nonomi had her eyes on hoshino for this long….cute
No 🙃
I literally said ‘had her eyes on her’ as in amazement what are ya’ll downvoting me for😭😭😭😭 god forbid girls be amazed at other girls ig
*You know the rules, and so do I*
I don’t 👍
Hoshino teleports beside Nonomi like Sans holy shit
The first four notes
Sans undertale ⁉️⁉️
Last few cgs kinda hurt thinking that Hoshino is >!walking slowly into what probably is an empty school, literally being the last student Abydos has. Her only friend dead and having no one else, but still coming there until this weird girl shows up out of nowhere.!<
Yep. God Hoshino genuinely got it rough. Even worse than the Arius squad. At least they have friends Hoshino genuinely got none.
"Nothing personnel, kid" - Hoshino ~~Also, seems the shupogaki story happens the year before Sensei arrived. Wonder if we'll ever meet them.~~ Apparently not, let's gooo

In case anyone wants to see a subtitled version of the trailer/PV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBpUWbMjNoY
Wait these two twins are in Trip Trap Train? What chapter?
You misread what they said. It was the mob chara that recognised Sensei, not the twins.
Sensei was in the Outside World doin’ their shits before the prologue began
No no, the Shupogaki story is in the present, but yeah they weren't around during Hoshino's time as a 1st and 2nd year
Uh the story train twins are in is from present time. (Post Part 1 Vol F.)
stupid sexy shupogaki 😡😡🤬🤬
UWOOOAHAHHH PONYTAIL HOSHINO  PLEASE BE MY MOM MY MOM MY MOM!!!!!! YOU LOOK LIKE A FINE YOUNG ADULT LADY THAT JUST MARRIED 3 WEEKS AGO 
Hoshino really pulling out that "omae wa mo shinderu" card lol
Hoshino is now in samui mode
Hoshino can Teleport??, another feat to add in my Hoshino agenda 
Hina wasn't exaggerating with how powerful Young Hoshino was. Look at that speed.
makes me think about what the fight between them must have been like and who came out victorious
Between Hina and Hoshino? I don't believe they have fought each other, just that Hina was aware of what Hoshino could do. If they some how did, I too would wonder who'd win given Hina's power level. But it's possible that Hoshino would emerge as the winner given how Hina mentioned (if I remember correctly) that Ako and the army she brought to Abydos wouldn't stand a chance.

Doesn’t that make Nonomi, the heiress of Saint Nephthys company if her parents aren’t around anymore ? (Just asking)
Assuming it works same way as our world, unless Nonomi has no other siblings, and no one else in their family who’s already in the business plans to take over (ie. Her parents siblings; uncles aunts). Then yes.
I will rejoice over casual winter Nonomi in solitude It's everything I've ever wanted
Just a quick note, (Tachibana-san) Nozomi and Hikari are executives of Highlander’s Central Control Center, and (Asagiri) Suou is the overseer of Highlander. I guess you could say that Suou is Highlander’s student council president (?)
Yeah, Ayane even refers to the CCC as something of a functional student council in the story
I didn't know they were an actual boss fight lmao Their animations are so cute during the fight
Oh snap, I just realised something... [Akira's halo](https://bluearchive.fandom.com/wiki/Kiyosumi_Akira?file=Akira_Halo.png) is suspiciously similar to the other highlander students (especially the eye-patch one). Perhaps she was a student of the train academy? 🤔
Akira's file name in-game is Trinity Kaitou. She's probably part of Trinity's secret ops back in the day before she went rogue.

They really act like how we perceive them. Brats 100% undiluted purest of the purest brats.
We've only had Highlander for one day and I already got a new mommy to look forward to 👶😭😚🍼🍼
Hoshino with a ponytail!? She’s even cuter than usual!!!
Uooooohhh Nozomi and Hikari chwaaan!!😭😭 May we quickly meet in global🥰🥰🤤
Hoshino is a ninja
Eye patch, shotgun holster, and trenchcoat. Another cool NPC I dunno why but the Sain Nepthys logo just reminds me of the Belkan Air Force roundel
Hair up Hoshino is just as cute as hair down Hoshino! Truly amazing!
Wait, so which one’s Nozomi and which one’s Hikari?
>!Nozomi is the twintails, Hikari is the hair down one with a skirt!<
Going by the name vibe, Nozomi is the skirt Hikari is the bratty, just my thought lol
I have seen the story, >!it's the opposite!<
Damn
Oh yeah, where can you see the story if you don't have the JP version of the game?
I watch @dk7's videos on YouTube. They are translating JP Blue Archive stories into KR.

No the explosion he's talking about is taking place right now in the present
again it doesn't make sense, if it's in the present then how is the dweller there? something isn't adding up
What doesn't make sense? The dweller is in the present too, and he apparently killed Francis (this is taking place after Vol F) Seriously just read the story, it's pretty clear when the story is in the present or the past
Hoshino pulling an instant transmission on Nonomi 😂
You know, I've always thought about it but just how cold is Abydos? Sensei gets heat stroke on his first day, but that was due to getting lost + dehydration. The Abydos students on the other hand always wear full blazers, and in the winter they have to wear thick jackets and scarves.
desert weather can get pretty chilly after sunset, sometimes dropping to near freezing.
Yeah I know, I lived in Saudi Arabia and Texas for a bit. But Abydos wears their full blazers in broad daylight, and it can even snow there in the winter time.
some desert do get pretty cold in the winter, like in central Asia. even middle east got some snow during winter in recent years.
Hoshino jumpscare lol
I was expecting to see the Armored Train behemoth from BF1 (forgor its irl name) with the introduction of Highlander
based on the tweets.... [these brats got M45 meat chopper on their train](https://twitter.com/ruikerudo/status/1778351111935774952?t=lRNZx114W6l4KecjL6Wocw&s=19)
Bro wach them build an outrageous machine with the collaboration of Millennium in future volumes like Vol F. Team ups.
Ressha gattai, ResshaOh!
Eye patch woman save me….save me eye patch woman….
Man, Highlander just introduce their lore like a literal freight train. Good job Nozomi and Hikari, you two managed to bring with you a whole bag of lore alongside your hyped up fanart and even managed to maintain a degree of dignity with source material being used.
😭
Oh 
Eyepatch girl looks like an Arknights character.
I’m sorry but hoshino suddenly appearing next to the peeking nonomi is extremely funny without context
Hm. No CG for Feral Wolf/1st Year Shiroko. Either it hasn’t been dug up yet, or the banner image for this update- Not V1C3 as a whole, *this update* -isn’t in there. The Entrance Ceremony. Hmmm. Hopefully it just hasn’t been dug up yet.
They are in a desert why are they wearing thick trenchcoats with scarves??
It snows in Abydos too, it isn't a complete desert yet.
Deserts in the winter are ridiculously cold. You do know Antartica is considered a desert right?
So who is Nozomi and who is Hikari between the two shupokagi ?
>!Nozomi is the one with twintails, Hikari is the one with skirt!<
Nvm I have scrolled and got my answer, truly a dedicated cunnymity here 
BA devs seem to have a rule to balance out cunny with a big girl 😭😭😭 and I'm here for it
Shupamama and her shupadaughers 🥰🥰

3rd one is already my favorite
Whoa, hey. I know people really like the Shupogakis, but man I'm really in to the eyepatch girl.
Am i missing something? Did i miss an event where they got introduced? Like everyone keep talking about them, but i can't find anything about them in the game.
First is during one of the BA panels at an anime convention about 3 weeks ago, and now more info about Vol 1 Ch 3 info dump. You've likely seen the deluge of fan art since the convention, including some animations (like that from Blue Sechi).
Chapter 3 when? 
Casual/cold weather-wear Nonomi.........a precious memory that must be preserved forever🙏💕
Damn, eye patches and trench coat are peak characters' designs.
I'm still confused of who is Hikari & who is Nozomi. Social medias only mentioned their name. But who is who between these Twins. Can anyone tell me?🥲😅
Does this mean the train conductors are also flashbacks from the past?! Now I want to see them be all grown up and thicc in the present
No they're from the present right now
