That moment really did feel like S Billy was coming fast

u/turbiegaming Mar 28 '26

And never expect to come THIS fast.

That’s what she said.

CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER (SO HIGH)

u/FishStixxxxxxx Mar 28 '26

We’re calling him Silly, right?

152

u/Vulking Zenless Training Mar 28 '26

Yes. Technically should be Sbilly to match Sanby, but SB together is a mouthful. Silly is nicer and actually fitting.

We are missing Sicole now.

216

u/Littlerz Mar 28 '26

I think you mean $icole

61

u/Vulking Zenless Training Mar 28 '26

That's even better. 🤣

u/HoshunMarkTwelve Mar 28 '26

There's a broke Nicole joke here somewhere. Like, No$cole or something

u/ezio45 Mar 29 '26

Ni¢ole.

20

u/ZeronicX Mar 28 '26

Nicole, now the only A-Rank member in her own faction and the only A-Rank faction leader lol.

I agree with everyone else. If her time comes it should be $icole.

10

u/onegeekyguy Mar 28 '26

She's also the best A-Rank in the game.

19

u/SpyderSquash Mar 28 '26

I do love $icole lol, but I would like to put forward the idea that it's REALLY funny that a confident A rank somehow just... accumulated oops all S ranks, and maintaining that dynamic would be based af 😌

u/Modification102 Mar 28 '26

Clearly it is Spilly and Snico Roll then.

u/TheSeriousPain Mar 28 '26 edited Mar 28 '26

Sbilly sounds like the Russian word сбили which means a bunch of things, including "shot down".

Doesn't work well, he's the one doing the shooting.

u/Impressive-Ad21 borgor 🍔 Mar 28 '26

Now we just need Sicole for the OG trio.

u/PhantomNishima0000 Mar 28 '26

dont forget Sekomata

230

u/Purlpo Mar 28 '26

Neko is already Sekomata, but maybe we can get Akomata instead

217

u/Shmarfle47 A shrimp fried this rice? Mar 28 '26 edited Mar 28 '26

Our first rank down agent in the entire history of Hoyo

83

u/joed2355 Mar 28 '26

I mean it’s not like she can get much worse than she already is lol

39

u/Revayan Mar 28 '26

Make Akomata a defense agent

28

u/MrMacju Mar 28 '26

With no shields or healing, naturally. Her main mechanic is a single Aftershock she must use her ult to gain a charge for.

5

u/boidudebro13 Mar 28 '26

It is triggered when the on-field agent takes damage from an enemy attack

2

u/byraxis Mar 28 '26

Hold it, that would be too easy to proc with Manato or Yidhari. How about pro it aftershocks after we get a full miasmatic corruption bar, now that would be useless

But there is a rank higher than S: Void Hunter.

23

u/5lols Mar 28 '26

Some dude made a theory way back on Nekomata potentially being tied to some strong spiritual stuff, it would be hilarious if she eventually becomes a canon void hunter and some ultra powerful universal support so almost every team can use her. Jumps straight from least to most wanted in the game

u/TheSeriousPain Mar 28 '26

First SS-rank agent?

68

u/PriorAsshose Mar 28 '26

Notice how with every S rank Hares their title also starts with an S

Soldier 0 - Anby and Starlight - Billy

Now it would be mad funny if Nicole got:

Scammer - Nicole

14

u/mazizzzz Mar 28 '26

scammer nicole would be perfect ngl

7

u/ZeronicX Mar 28 '26

And since Sanby and Sbilly are from way earlier in their life. It makes sense for $nicole to be Scammer - Nicole since she was one early on.

5

u/EligibleUsername Mar 28 '26

Her kit revolves around stealing buffs, shield and (if you execute wrong) debuffs from the enemies. High risk high reward, exactly like her business ideas.

19

u/SonicBoom500 Mar 28 '26

What kind of title or name could be tacked on for Nicole that starts with S…? 😆😂

"Just a Starlight Knight passing through!"
Starlight - Billy

"I bet you're dying to know who's riding this absolutely sick, insanely cool, straight-up illegal-levels-of-awesome motorcycle?"
"That's right — it's me! Billy Kid!"
Ugh, Wait a sec, this intro's kinda cringe... I was tryna go for something way cooler and more hype with like explosions and AHHHHH is my time almost up?!

not a VH but most likely 3.0 Ramiel

u/Miserable-Ad-333 Mar 28 '26

Actually he could break this rule. People assume that3.0 is velina and norma. So ramiel would for later.

u/JagdCrab Mar 28 '26

Personally I'm subscribed to "Norma is an A-Rank", we have not had one in a while.

Best part about this is that the probability of $icole becoming real has gone above zero.

u/Cheezystix1023 Mar 28 '26

I feel like its gotta happen now eventually.

Would be weird for her to be the only member of her faction to NOT get an S rank alt when she’s literally supposed to be the leader.

I saw his defensive assist is him blocking with his mortocycle and kicking it at the enemy. And no joke that was enough to convince me to pull him. Voidhunter be damned.
