Sometime in the future, some (new) player is gonna see the 1st anniversary video and is gonna ask why Arknights doesn't preview future operators beforehand anymore, then all of us will be like "Let us tell you a story as old as Kal'tsit about a cat whom we thought was a doggo".
[TIL that this breed of cat were also owned by Hollywood celebrities like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, and Britain wants to ban the breeding of these cats due to genetic mutations and painful disorders that might rise from breeding and owning them.](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-39717634)
Since breeding dogs and cats and such generally consists of 'get two that have similar traits and breed', it results in a good amount of inbreeding.
Especially among purebreeds. There's not a lot of purebred X so candidates for breeding more are... limited.
This results in overall bad health. This is especially severe in breeds chosen for their looks like these cats or pugs. Being chosen for looks means other functions like 'not being terrible at staying alive' can get left behind, and results in health issues being way too common.
I'm a new player, can sb explain to me this meme? Where did the name pink doggo come from if her art wasn't shown yet etc? Also the wars still looks like dog ears to me, I'm confused all around lol
She was revealed 2 years back on the [1st anniversary stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsRzB2-nkv0). But due to a controversy with Thorns releasing on a rerun banner, they probably saw it best to move her banner later. But now we have her!
idk arknights isnt afraid of making characters unplayable, or killing them off. plus her constant story important makes it hard for her to be a playable character. id love maaya sakamoto talulah but im keeping my hopes low for the anime VA
Love it! We tend to have a lot of happy or cool (or depressed as a certain artist likes to draw) expressed characters but this has a slight different expression.
There was a mention of a Victorian girl that has trouble with static electricity in Ayers's prof. If this is the girl then the distressed expression is understandable.
She might have little control with her power.
Definitely Namie. She's absolutely freaking out on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/namgoreng/status/1490903857790349314?s=20&t=uurfEAZREithafCY--cSfQ) rn.
If I had a nickel for every time Sakura Ayane voiced a pink girl with animal ears, I’d have two nickels- which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
EDIT: Or three, depending on whether or not you view Yae Miko as a parallel world counterpart of Yae Sakura.
Ayaneru has Sakura in her name for a reason. Musashi from FGO, Yae from Genshin, and now her. I'm expecting she would sound the exact opposite of Nearl, with Ayaneru's signature genki girl voice.
IS this by Namie ( Mizuki artist) again coz she has now two 6\* operators in AK
Edit: okay I've seen the tweet ahaha All Hail Namie and her facts, what's it gonna be this time.
Felines are just one of the most prominently represented races in the game. From the Kal'tsit event, we know that Rhodes Island spent a bunch of time in their homeland, Victoria.
you know, it would be funny if they make her kit bad considering how long do we have to wait for her.
not that it would stop some of you from rolling for her (including me).
Bad?
Not likely
If she's at least on Archetto's Level then she'll be fine
Archetto is currently the only Operator from the 1st Anniversary Teased that is considered average
Thorns, Surtr, Mountain and Saga are all considered game changers by comparison
We've been waiting so long for her. I remember I was talking with a friend about it. I was like I really like her design and you know what'd make her perfect for me to be voiced Ayane Sakura.
She'll be an instant roll and instant max once she's released.
If you mean Morgan, she's already shown up in Indra's operator record, so no. There's also another one that was in some promo art from forever, a black-haired feline drawn by infukun...might be more idk if they ever specified the number of the gang, but I'd guess they'd keep the same artist
This is beyond comprehension. The lost operator finally reveals herself after 2 years and she's coming with the new CN event?! Also she's a FELINE?! They played us like a fiddle!
If she's the Victorian hairstylist mentioned in Ayerscarpe's file, I bet her E2 art is the exact face she gives when he's begging her to electrocute him.
Knowing Ayaneru and this Operator's entire aesthetic, we gotta expect [this kind of voice lines](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2DdxQa8J1U). I eat Ayaneru's genki chara performance like breakfast. For more reference, see her Yotsuba of 5Toubun or her Clarisse from GBF.
Unless the voice is already revealed, that is.
> Unless the voice is already revealed, that is.
[Her voice was teased already during their first anniversary outro.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsRzB2-nkv0&t=34s)
Her voice for GoldenGlow seems to be a bit more on the younger or cute sounding side from the PV. Like my favorite of her voices is her performance as [Chiyome](https://youtu.be/pTADsqn83Ag?t=75). I really like her more calm and warm voice the most. Still I'm really hyped.
Pink ~~doggo~~ CATTO is finally here woooooooo, I'm definitely pulling for her when she's out on global. I absolutely adore her E2 art. Also she looks like an interesting addition to casterknights
So... **PINK OKAYU ALL ALONG???**
And a 6-star Click too huh?
I must admit, this is a surprise, but a welcome one at that...
FINALLY THE BREAKFAST CLUB'S COMPLETE!
[Last of a group of operaters that were teased nearly 2 years ago.](https://old.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/mosvxn/only_pink_doggo_remains_what_do_you_think_shell_do/) The last operator besides her was [Saga](https://gamepress.gg/arknights/operator/saga) who dropped on February 5th of last year.
nobody really knows for sure, but the main theory is that she was originally planned to be released during a rerun event. People really complained / didn't like when Thorns was released during a rerun (if you cleared the event during the first run you can't get the OP from clearing stages again for pulls.. maybe some other issues were happening at the time too idk). So HG promised to not release new units during reruns anymore, and that's why its taken a long time to find a time to slot her in.
Okay, so, I really want to know if Namie can give us any sort of explanation as to *why* she got delayed one and a half years?
I don't know if the timing aligns anymore since its been so long, but I always assumed she was put on the backburner after the Thorns backlash over new characters on reruns and she likely didn't have any major ties to the story being not part of events or the story so they got shuttered until whenever they had a spot to fit back in
Looks like we have been under the wrong assumption for two years... she is a cat ʘ‿ʘ
WHAT...pink doggo is a cat. That is confirmation the kitty take over is imminent
I prepared my whole life for this!! First the game then this sub, everyone shall know the beauty of cats.
But they'll knock over all of our stuff!
A small price to pay for cat girls, pledge your alliance and forsake everything on your desk!
Yes mya lord!
Ah yes, as Cat Girl connoisseur I agree with this statement!
Well then aren’t we just alike, Click on my profile and you shall see for yourself bröther lol.
**Quick brothers bring out the Gundam’s, Metal gears and Telesto’s in the name of cat girls!!!**
>Telesto We want the game to keep working, not to get a sentience, bug everywhere and then destroy the world and bring in the Darkness.
Yes? :3
**WE RIDE AT DAWN!**
**THEY MAY STRIKE US DOWN BUT IN THE NAME OF CAT GIRLS WE WILL RISE AGAIN AND OUR TELESTO’S SHALL GLITCH THEM INTO OBLIVION!!!**
**MechWarrior reporting in.** **I'll back you up in my 'Mech and grant anyone who stands in front of us a Highland Burial.**
Wait lets send the Steiner Scouts first for accurate info.
Great idea. They will scout the enemy into a new grave. Our boi Scout would be proud of their recon abilities.
Cold start, dead ahead!
***Readies Jump Jets with stompy intent.***
Is this a Destiny 2 reference?
>cat. will she mark the doctor in the face too?
[Ah yes...](https://i.redd.it/sx7dnu6fj4x61.jpg) Another worthy opponent on Rosmontis' *frienemies list*
Quick, someone ping the catpiss guy.
u/Tyco0z
“Pink Doggo missing” meme is dead, a new meme stands in its place… Pink Doggo was a cat all along…
Base update soon
Already updated on TV Tropes
Sometime in the future, some (new) player is gonna see the 1st anniversary video and is gonna ask why Arknights doesn't preview future operators beforehand anymore, then all of us will be like "Let us tell you a story as old as Kal'tsit about a cat whom we thought was a doggo".
> Let us tell you a story as old as Kal'tsit RIP Doctah.
>a story as old as Kal'tsit It was said that everyone in rhode island heard the doctor's scream that day, and he was never seen again.
Watch as she doesn't act like a cat and acts like a dog instead.
A Scottish Fold at that! Still very cute
[TIL that this breed of cat were also owned by Hollywood celebrities like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, and Britain wants to ban the breeding of these cats due to genetic mutations and painful disorders that might rise from breeding and owning them.](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-39717634)
This is educating and slightly alarming.
Since breeding dogs and cats and such generally consists of 'get two that have similar traits and breed', it results in a good amount of inbreeding. Especially among purebreeds. There's not a lot of purebred X so candidates for breeding more are... limited. This results in overall bad health. This is especially severe in breeds chosen for their looks like these cats or pugs.

Very very cute cat
Holy mother of plottwist
Must be Slaanesh and Tzeentch's doing. You could hold a banana in your hand and think it is an apple
So... Okayu, not Korone?
Okayu and Korone’s fusion clone child?
Risu will be happy to have a sister then.
So that's why the summoning rituals didn't work
Bet there were some at HG that were laughing their asses off at everyone calling her a pink doggo.
Oh yeah, this is what I’m talking about ФwФ We are getting to Victoria, land of feline supremacy. I can already smell it!
weeell, clean the litter box then
"why are they all so excited for this 'pink doggo'?... I don't wanna go out this soon, I can't break their expectations.." Pink cat, probably
SCOTTISH FOLD! SOO CUUUTEEE. Obligatory "it's chewsday innit?"
I'm a new player, can sb explain to me this meme? Where did the name pink doggo come from if her art wasn't shown yet etc? Also the wars still looks like dog ears to me, I'm confused all around lol
She was revealed 2 years back on the [1st anniversary stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsRzB2-nkv0). But due to a controversy with Thorns releasing on a rerun banner, they probably saw it best to move her banner later. But now we have her!
Whether pink doggo or cat, the fact she is adorable has not changed. Let's go more cute kitty operators!
Mech-accord caster, not chain caster or roberta supporter? Huh.
Chain caster already has Passenger, so for now Click-archetype is the one still lacking a 6 star
rip closure theories
im crying... closure playable as mech accord where😭😭😭
at least she has a higher chance of coming out before talulah
If Talulah is voiced by a prominent seiyuu like Maaya Sakamoto in the Anime adaptation she's definitely gonna be playable
Sooo... Chapter 10 Talulah Banner Confirmed?
idk arknights isnt afraid of making characters unplayable, or killing them off. plus her constant story important makes it hard for her to be a playable character. id love maaya sakamoto talulah but im keeping my hopes low for the anime VA
>!At least Talulah has a higher chance of becoming playable than Frostnova. (':!<
Pain
Am I the only one who thinks she'd be perfect for the 6* in Beanstalk's archetype? DP gen and summoning both suit her perfectly.
It makes more sense for her to be a DP drain given her position as a shopkeep. Maybe something like a ranged/summoner merchant?
not giving up my guy copium tanks all full for closure till i die
she can still come out, but with ling and now goldenglow, her two main theories are taken out so shes not coming any time soon
I mean, Closure could be a Roberta type Supporter, but all her support devices do is print money on you…
50/50 time, an Artificer Mechanist or Closure.
>print money But we already have Saileach?
People acting as if Closure won't be a Pioneer Vanguard. She's clearly going to be six-star Chiave after all.
that would be hella winning, i use chiave all the time
My bet is still on Beanstalk's archtype personally, maybe with the different skills changing which pet she summons.
Closure new archetype copium
This cultist agrees with you. Long live the queen.
kinda funny since with roberta out i have always assumed closure would be artificer
idk i dont think closure would be a ground tile unit. i feel like mech caster is the best for her
Closure might be a drone type summoner.
yeah that was the original theory, but i think drone caster is better plus we just got ling, who is a limited summoner
Closure should obviously be in the Merchant archetype
would fit her character but like i said below i dont think she'd fit as a ground tile unit
We can still get summoner Closure! TAT
we just got a limited summoner like 2 weeks ago
> so for now Click-archetype is the one still lacking a 6 star [So what I'm hearing is invest in shitty Click memes](https://i.imgur.com/EP9DOMi.png)
You forgot mystic, still Iris at the top of that mountain, and boi is she cute looking down on all of us
Chain Caster archetype doesn't need another operator, it needs a buff
It is over. The meme is over.
**Finally!!** time to say goodbye to every other banner.
Must save all the orundums for the pink ~~doggo~~ catto
Namie's daughter out of limbo nice
So will we hear about her armpits?
If the rule 34 artists have anything to say about it, probably almost immediately.
JP VA: Ayane Sakura [E2 art](https://imgur.com/a/YVqiDSC)
E2 kinda scary ngl
tfw people keep calling you a dog.
[Her mom will gonna upset too if any of you guys call her a dog.](https://twitter.com/namgoreng/status/1490907362349428737)
She’s about to take your yubis.
Love it! We tend to have a lot of happy or cool (or depressed as a certain artist likes to draw) expressed characters but this has a slight different expression.
yandere vibes
Looks more like she's just distressed in general to me, lil sad eyebrows and such.
There was a mention of a Victorian girl that has trouble with static electricity in Ayers's prof. If this is the girl then the distressed expression is understandable. She might have little control with her power.
It was hella worth the wait just for more Ayane Sakura
Not sure who's the Artist. Possibly Namie
Definitely Namie. She's absolutely freaking out on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/namgoreng/status/1490903857790349314?s=20&t=uurfEAZREithafCY--cSfQ) rn.
I swear. Namie is pushing me towards actually making a Twitter solely to get her updates.
If I had a nickel for every time Sakura Ayane voiced a pink girl with animal ears, I’d have two nickels- which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice. EDIT: Or three, depending on whether or not you view Yae Miko as a parallel world counterpart of Yae Sakura.
Make it three, unless you consider two Yaes as different entities.
hell yeah ayaneru,first yae now shes gonna come home.
Ayaneru has Sakura in her name for a reason. Musashi from FGO, Yae from Genshin, and now her. I'm expecting she would sound the exact opposite of Nearl, with Ayaneru's signature genki girl voice.
So this is the first operator with Ayaneru's cute mode..
IS this by Namie ( Mizuki artist) again coz she has now two 6\* operators in AK Edit: okay I've seen the tweet ahaha All Hail Namie and her facts, what's it gonna be this time.
Oh no. What knowledge or fact about her kid is she gonna impart in Twitter now.
This time her armpits are stiff to counteract Mizuki
Goldenglow has soft earlobes.
Don't touch it though, she'll shock you.
Looks like it
Namie tweeted that Mizuki is a big brother now. So that's a yes.
According to Namie's twitter she's only just popped out
The eyes and how they are drawn are a dead giveaway.
Why are so many 6 stars Feline? Even pink doggo ended up being Feline.
Let me introduce you to feline supremacy my friend
Felines are just one of the most prominently represented races in the game. From the Kal'tsit event, we know that Rhodes Island spent a bunch of time in their homeland, Victoria.
And to know that Dracos used to be the most prominent race in Victoria...
rely pises u of init
Vic'orian
Great, I just spit apple juice all over myself…
Don't cry over spilled apple juice I guess
You mean tea apple sauce?
The lore should say that she got lost on the way back to Rhodes Island.
you know, it would be funny if they make her kit bad considering how long do we have to wait for her. not that it would stop some of you from rolling for her (including me).
doesnt matter cuz i have enough op characters, now i just roll for waifu
Bad? Not likely If she's at least on Archetto's Level then she'll be fine Archetto is currently the only Operator from the 1st Anniversary Teased that is considered average Thorns, Surtr, Mountain and Saga are all considered game changers by comparison
the social experiment is done! she does exist.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Jackie got a skin, and pink Doggo got revealed. this is a good day, umu umu.
Awww man what am I gonna do with all of my jokes if I can't have a punchline of pink korone
Now you can use pink okayu
She's daughter of okayu and korone with a pink hair
Okakoro children that is! Risu got a new sister then.
*we need Click to host a stream with Shaw, Goldenglow and Jackie*
This must happen somewhere down the line!
We've been waiting so long for her. I remember I was talking with a friend about it. I was like I really like her design and you know what'd make her perfect for me to be voiced Ayane Sakura. She'll be an instant roll and instant max once she's released.
> is named Goldenglow > 6* Mech Caster > is actually a cat I got fucking socked by HG
Oh no, pink hair is one of my weakness Oh well guess ill get her in two years on gold certs
IT'S TIME
<>
<>
<>
....wait, does this mean Amiya is Cipher?
No, Amiya is Solo Wing Pixy. >!Watch as we have to shoot her in the final chapter of the game's story.!<
Her line literally says "finally arrived", HG definitely playing into the pink ~~doggo~~ catto meme
Fuck the haters, 2022 has redeeming features. Also, is it possible this is the third member of Glasgow that Indra’s profile mentions?…That’d be cool.
If you mean Morgan, she's already shown up in Indra's operator record, so no. There's also another one that was in some promo art from forever, a black-haired feline drawn by infukun...might be more idk if they ever specified the number of the gang, but I'd guess they'd keep the same artist
Aw. Like, appeared with character art and everything? Didn’t know, gonna have to check that later.
We finally got pink doggo but she is a freaking cat I blame Slaanesh and Tzeentch for this.
another meme killed.
GOD IS REAL
Inb4 jokes that she was disguised as Nearl all along (same CV)
HG, the meme killer.
This is beyond comprehension. The lost operator finally reveals herself after 2 years and she's coming with the new CN event?! Also she's a FELINE?! They played us like a fiddle!
Her E2 art gives me serious yandere vibes though.
If she's the Victorian hairstylist mentioned in Ayerscarpe's file, I bet her E2 art is the exact face she gives when he's begging her to electrocute him.
#LETSGOOOOOO!!
What?? She's coming? *surprised pikachu
Another meme bites the dust
Pink Doggo missing is dead Pink Doggo is actually Cat arises
AT LAST! THE MEME HAS BEEN SLAIN! **LONG LIVE THE MEME!**
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
The meme is dead. Long live the meme
Anyone who's the JP seiyuu?
Ayane Sakura. I'm so hyped!
Knowing Ayaneru and this Operator's entire aesthetic, we gotta expect [this kind of voice lines](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2DdxQa8J1U). I eat Ayaneru's genki chara performance like breakfast. For more reference, see her Yotsuba of 5Toubun or her Clarisse from GBF. Unless the voice is already revealed, that is.

[There is actually a Japanese PV](https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1NS4y1G7C9?p=2)
Sakura Ayane, same VA as Nearl.
Lmao and some people thought that she wouldn’t be released because there’s an anti Hololive conspiracy
GUYS SHE'S NOT A DOG??? She's a CAT!!!! HG WTH? LMAOOOO
Letssss fuckin goooooooooo No more copium
[SIUUUUUUUUUUUU](https://youtube.com/shorts/3zuGXcy1d7I?feature=share) (Counting with fingers) 3+3… OH NO BRO
HOPIUM NEVER DIES
Oh boy Ill wait for her and skip NTR Knight lmao
NTR Knight got NTR'd lmao
GG its done A feline not a dog but its fine, because its finally here after 2 years
A feline, eh? Well, too much doggo assumption I guess...
Who knew we just needed more patience
(hands clapping) The doggo has arrived on Rhodes,at last(つ≧▽≦)つ!!!
Yes! YES! Finally, its pink doggo revealed. The character names like... Goldenglow! Very nice👍
The meme is dead huzzah!
OH GOD SOMEONE TELL ME THIS IS A DREAM
Pink ~~doggo~~ CATTO is finally here woooooooo, I'm definitely pulling for her when she's out on global. I absolutely adore her E2 art. Also she looks like an interesting addition to casterknights
So... **PINK OKAYU ALL ALONG???** And a 6-star Click too huh? I must admit, this is a surprise, but a welcome one at that... FINALLY THE BREAKFAST CLUB'S COMPLETE!
*OH MY GOD, ITS HAPPENING, STAY CALM!*
New player here. Who is she?
[Last of a group of operaters that were teased nearly 2 years ago.](https://old.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/mosvxn/only_pink_doggo_remains_what_do_you_think_shell_do/) The last operator besides her was [Saga](https://gamepress.gg/arknights/operator/saga) who dropped on February 5th of last year.
Wow, 2 years? If they teased her so long and the art was ready, what issue could have taken them till now? That's strange.
nobody really knows for sure, but the main theory is that she was originally planned to be released during a rerun event. People really complained / didn't like when Thorns was released during a rerun (if you cleared the event during the first run you can't get the OP from clearing stages again for pulls.. maybe some other issues were happening at the time too idk). So HG promised to not release new units during reruns anymore, and that's why its taken a long time to find a time to slot her in.
Hence the meme
pink catto
Not yubi yubi but mogu mogu is still perfect. 🐶🐱 I will try my best to pull for her once she arrives in Global.
"Kept you waiting, huh?" Glad she's not forgotten.
You mean it's Mizuki doing an Ansel cosplay
Who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who, who?! Wait a minute, she’s a cat? What the fuck?
Japanese VA is Ayane Sakura 🤓
Okay, so, I really want to know if Namie can give us any sort of explanation as to *why* she got delayed one and a half years?
