Nino: The Girl Who Deserved Better. [Fire Emblem Support Science #9] Fire Emblem Blazing Sword 

When you're such a pure cinnamon roll a whole war is indirectly caused because somebody wanted to protect your smile

Ghast: "Erk, seemingly annoyed..." In my head: "Erk, Irked."

Nino is too pure for our cynical minds to understand.

*"Hooray! Nino finally found a family member in the end!"* And then Canas died.

*Doing her best intensifies*

*when you learn after years that Merlinus can support with other units wtf*

Nino actually said she'll do her best in FE7. This makes me more happy than it should.

Nino was the only non lord female character from blazing sword to make it into the heroes ballot. Nino's cipher card can cost up to $80 US in amazon,not to mention she's a top tier card. Nino is a top tier green unit in heroes. Nino ALWAYS DOES HER BEST. And people ask why Nino is so popular.

Rebeccas support is literally the "Precious Cinnamon Roll" support. 10/10

The fun part about Nino is that since she's an EST character, you need to give her a lot of love and care to make her usable. Her sad story also makes you want to care for her. In a sense, what you feel towards her as a character and how you interract with her through gameplay is very similar.

20:45 No mercy! No forgiveness! *207 damage critical*

She was number 1 in Blazing blade's japanse poll.

Ghast: if I put Nino in the title... Views: *skyrocketing*

Ghast: "Good opinion on character Mangs doesn't like" Mangs: *REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

>Angry Norwegian Screeching

Remember when Nino had that little "chat" with Lloyd in Cog of Destiny, the feels. I'll say it again but I really feel like the Reed bros are underrated.

I loved Nino's supports with Jaffar since they grew so well together, and they really felt like they were meant to be. What I hated was their aweful ending. All the pain they endured to get their happy ending, and it just ends in the worst way.

I always found Nino well-written. You get a strong impression of a lot of her quirks and behaviors. I can absolutely imagine her as a real person. Plus, I'm a sucker for tragic characters

10:58 I think you seem to have a misconception about Legault's intentions during their A support. The way you describe the A support tends to imply that Legault didn't want Nino to be a burden to him, but that is likely not the case. Legault is plenty shrewd and clever enough that surely the two would be able to get by one way or another. If you assess Legault's other supports, it's fairly clear that while he does generally act out of self-interest, he does have affection for the other members of the black fang, and possesses a certain wisdom from having experienced so much. As someone who has lived a live in the darkness doing shady deeds, he is likely resigned to thinking that a life of peace would likely no longer be possible for him (and it's probably true, he probably has a big target on his back as someone who has done a lot of work as an assassin). Nino, however, is young and innocent, and likely hasn't been quite so involved. It is still possible for her to escape that future and live a quiet simple life. Who in their right mind would want to wish a life of murder and death on someone with so much brightness, positivity, and potential? You skip over the very last line of the A support in which Legault says "...Nino..." as you start analyzing how depressing this support chain is, but that one line clues us into the fact that Legault does indeed care about her. If he didn't the support either would have ended right as Nino left, or he would have said something akin to "good riddance". When you put things into that perspective, it would be more accurate to say Legault is saying they CAN'T be friends after this conflict, rather than that they won't be friends anymore. I think in this particular support assessment, you fixate a bit too much on her need for acceptance and miss the bigger picture of the story that this support chain is trying to tell. Nino may want acceptance, but Legault decides that he cannot be the one to provide her that because what is best for her would be a quiet, peaceful, and happy life. It's also worth noting that in both of her A supports that have special endings, either Jaffar or Nino herself gets targeted by bounty hunters which causes the other partner to leave in pursuit of them, so Legault's prediction isn't that far off. The biggest tragedy, in fact, is that Legault's efforts to make sure Nino gets away from a life of sin still doesn't prevent those sins from catching up to her.

Nino's character contributes so much to Blazing Blade; psychological struggles, trust issues, haunting past, interesting relationships with others, tragic endings, satisfying accomplishments, and a couple more. I really am happy she was made when and where she was made.

listen to jaffars voice in heroes....now imagine him sincerely say "you are my best friend".....thats to fucking weird lol

Why did this video make me cry? This is one of the reasons I love Fire Emblem. The characters. I already liked Nino, but you just made me love her more.

That Cipher art is absolutely heart melting. :3

"...Relax" - Jaffar 2003/17

Nino’s support with Rebecca really reminds me of Neimi’s support with Amelia from FF8. The support is basically about them reminiscing about berries and pies, and bonding over the small moments like that. Sure it isn’t all too deep or serious but it’s one of my favorite supports nonetheless. Just two young, likely teenage girls caught up in something so much bigger than themselves, just trying to let things go for a minute and have a little happy, insignificant moment.

Let's be real. If Nino was in the mage gauntlet, she would have beaten Tharja and Robin.

Oh my gawd...it's finally here...welp time to strap in and learn all about Nino. I'm so excited considering I haven't even finished Blazing Blade, so I know next to nothing about the green haired Loli.

The first time I played FE7 I didn't minded Nino at all. Now after Heroes, I had to play the whole thing again JUST to make Nino as OP as I could.

'Erk's comparison to Pent an insult to Pent' Damn straight, Nino. Damn straight.

Sucks how everyone hates her as a unit. I think she's actually fun to train

I liked Nino a lot, which makes playing The Binding Blade much sadder when you realize that she died at a young age and couldn't be there to raise Lugh and Raigh.

Yay, my favorite character from FE7 and one of my overall favorites. It's funny how Soren and Nino have similar back stories yet turned out so differently.

"Nino isn't the sharpest tool in the shed" nino: SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD WAS GONNA ROLL I AIN'T THE SHARPEAT TOOL IN THE SHED

We need more Nino fan art

Oh would you look at that, the best character AND the best unit in FE7 lets go

I go by Merric in Discord, and someone brought up Nino in one of my Server. This lead to someone asking if Nino was Merric's genderbent self. Now my friends joke that Nino is actually Merric's daughter. They do look a bit alike. They both wear lots of blue and have green hair. COINCIDENCE!? Probably

One of the best characters in terms of story, writing & in-game unit as well. Literally the definition of a cinnamon roll that was too pure for the world that is rarely acknowledged or understood.

HELLO MY NAMES NINOOOO

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, I LOVE NINO OH MY GOSH

Thank you so much! It feels nice to be appreciated.

I love Nino so much that when I recruited Gonzales in F6 I actually cried. because it reminds me of Nino in various ways. they Share Innocence and hard work and tô be true here... I actually needed them in my Life, they kinda saved me from having bad thoughts about Life... I own them in a way

In the merlinus support Nino catches Merlinus eating a ration and then Merlinus asks her to keep it a secret and 20 years later in binding blade Merlinus gives an extra ration to Lugh (who hapoens to be her son) for apparently no reason what looks like a sweet reference

Nino: I do my best!!! Mangs: You suck, bad unit!!! Mage Knight 404: *Disgusting unit*

The art work of Nino, Jaffar and their sons is just beautiful. Thank you for the link.

Ghast wtf you literally made me cry at the end. Jesus what an emotional and engaging tale of a video.

Jaffar: i love you FBI: we are ready to roll Jaffar is 17 FBI: *confused open up*

you can't imagine how happy I was when I woke up and saw this

This was fantastic. Best Nino video I've seen. Time to binge this channel.

What a precious child. My first introduction to Nino was in Heroes, and I liked her a lot. Maybe I should play the original game.... I've heard a lot of good things about it! I mean, with character diversity like this, it has to be good! It makes me think of Awakening. I liked the supports in that one, too. ^^

Cool to see you updated the thumbnail with Flying Nino. 😄

A year later but now this video has best Nino art! Ghast you legend you!

This series is amazing, please keep pumping out this awesome quality content

Honestly, Nino is one of my favorite characters out of any video game. So much had happened to her at such a young age, but she managed to persevere, to become better than she ever could. If FE6/7 ever gets remade, I would love to have her return as some type of Gotoh type character at the end of FE6's story, maybe even as a replacement for Karel should different conditions be met (example, Hugh/Raigh/Lugh have a higher level than Fir/Noah/Bartre). Maybe she even comes back with Jaffar, because let's face it, Jaffar is way better than any of the thieves in FE6 simply because there were no assassins.

Nino! I love her! You made me appreciate her even more! I already loved her both as a unit and a character, but I never got to experience much more of her character outside of the story, and her supports with Jaffar, Erk, and Canas. Thank you, Ghast! ^.^

>When you cry from watching a RU-vid video.

“Nino finally found a family member in the end!” Blizzard: “you sure about that?”

I wanna hug her so badly🙂

I've always wondered how old Jaffar is supposed to be.

I adored this video!I never got past chapter 27 so I had no idea about her supports in general.I mean, just from the little I saw from her during the cutscenes before she joined, she had already won me over, but to discover these heart-warming supports... it made me like Nino even more. Thank you very much for this video:)Now she is my second favorite character in the game, the first one being Lyn.

I Couldn't Care Less If She's A *"BAD"* Unit, She's The Only Mage I'll Main In My FEVII Playthroughts & With The Exception Of The First One (Cause Erk Was Lv32 At That Point) She Was My End Game Sage & She *NEVER* Let Me Down, In Fact, In My Most Recent Run, She Ended As A Lvl35 Sage With All Stats Besides Defense Being 20 Or Higher, Max Skill, Speed *&* Magic & Even Her Defense Was Decent (Yeah, I Know, Afa's Drops & All) But That Still Doesn't Change The Fact That Nino Is Amazing, Both As A Character & Probably The Strongest Est Character So Far, When She Say She's Gonna Do Her Best... She Wasn't Kidding

My favorite character from BS and one of the best from all of FE IMO.... So glad to see you tackle her, good job. You know what, you've earned my Sub.

Nino was popular because she's one of the most important non-Lord characters in the story with the most complex ties to the Villain Team out of the entire roster. AND (while extremely difficult to pull off) if you are willing to level grind her in the few chapters you have left before the end of the game she easily becomes the STRONGEST mage bar none. It's NUTS how good her stat growth is. You are practically guaranteed to get 3-4 stats minimum per level.

My favorite part is at the end where he says he'll be starting a randomized Revelations play through

I like how you updated the vid with the new alttt

When I read Nino's supports with Legault and Florina, I cried hard man. I had to take a moment when they were brought up in your video, good job my man

Thanks for making me love this character even more!

I'm holding back tears...this video is so powerful

@Ghast Station I love that zoom-in on the dialogue at 8:52 xD

I saw the thumbnail and date and was so confused about Flying Nino being here a year before her actual debut but then I Realized

This was an amazing video, it does justice to Nino´s story.

cinnamon roll too pure for this world

A support science on my favorite FE7 character on my birthday ? Thank you, Ghast !

Loved this video. I hope Ghast will go into some of Path of Radiance's supports. Some of these are the best in the series.

Ok yeah nino best girl.... But canas best uncle.

yeah ok so i relate very hard to nino and this video make me start bawling. great vid man

I like that you dove into Nino, but I disagree with you about her support with Legault. Nino did get something out of that - it’s called “independence”. She learned that, hey, you can’t keep idealizing the past and clinging to whatever people you happen to find yourself with. And I think Legault said not to join him because he saw that she was a good person and didn’t want to drag her into a permanent life of crime. He was basically saying, “It’s too late for me. You have your whole life ahead of you. Don’t waste it following me.”

You forgot to mention that she's the mother of Lugh and Ray. You know, those twins in FE6 who had lived most of their lives in a freakin' ORPHANAGE. That's right. After all that she had went through, the writers who probably hate Eat characters decided to kill her off early. But she deserves so much more in life... It sort of feels weird typing this for a fictional character, but still...

This video was so good!

Nino is my favorite character in the whole series. Thanks for doing this.

I'm going to try using her in my next playthrough. Thanks!

After so long heres a new video And its good

Wow I never really appreciated some of the things about nino and other charachters until watching this thank you

I just about teared up reading those supports and looking back on them again. Holy fuck.

You're editing the video with the new Flying Nino as the thumbnail. Ofc it feels a little off, but I'm nonetheless happy to see that xD

Canas is my 2nd favorite character, right behind hector so hearing that A support made me so happy

Nino definitely has some interesting supports.

*Casually browsing youtube* *Sees video on Nino* GASP!!!! Ghast Station is doing a support science on Nino... one of my favorite characters.. from the one Fire Emblem game I own besides FE: Heroes... *nearly dies of happines**

MUST... PROTECT... HER...

Just wow. Amazing video.

I remember this game, Nino was so cool.

I find it funny you're going back to Fates after playing Echoes. I always loved Nino even though I never remembered much of her supports since, at the time, I didn't know about them when I played my brother's copy of FE Blazing Sword. But knowing all of this makes me love her even more. Est archetypes are always a favorite of mine, even if it's hard to get the most out of them sometimes. I would actually love to see a "Defense of Est" support science with Echoes out now. Est shares a few traits with Nino, most notably her strong desires to help, get stronger, and her devotion to her family, especially siblings. #YouCantSpellBestWithoutEst

Wow this video was great. I just wanted to get attached to Nino so I can justify +10 her but this was waaaay more than I expected. It was really great! Definitly sharing it! Good luck!

Sorry, did someone say best girl?

The tragedy of the Black Fang. Nino and Jaffar. Linus and Lloyd. Brendan, Uhai and Legault. Those were the best things in FE7, and it's nice to see someone show appreciation for Nino. I hope you explore another one of these characters again someday. Thanks you for making this video.

this was the best Canada day gift you could give me Ghast

I liked using Nino to defeat Sonia. It’s so satisfying. Poor Nino... I like the supports where she gets to act like a happy kid

She's the only Character in FEH that I bothered to promote from silver to Gold status. This was even before I knew about her history, she was just so bubbly and cute, and fairly powerful, I adored her almost instantly. Knowing her entire story now just makes that affection all the more justified.

I loved this. Jaffer and Nino's story beats were my favorites in FF7.

Ive legit been trying to hold back tears holy shit
