Yes, she's originally named Nuka, but the dub renames her as Nikki. When I was thirteen or fourteen, my younger brother and I tried watching her episode in Japanese, and he was immensely entertained by how her name was Nuka and she had a bomb in her.

Nuke? Nuka? Aheh, maybe it's only funny if you're eight...

Yeah, well she's a bomb robot, so naming her "Nuka (nuke) still makes sense

But bizarre :eek:

It looks more natural when you consider that for the Japanese, English is this cool alien language which makes it perfect to hide clever puns.

Please tell me about her role in the game. I'm pretty sure I won't find it anywhere.

I first played Omega Factor when I was 17 and I found it funny.
