GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE has officially revealed Guilty: Mighty Bunny as a new SSR Nikke on September 12, 2026. The announcement describes her as a “super-charged sci-fi bunny” combining Guilty's overwhelming physical strength with a cutting-edge suit, with Rina Sato returning as her Japanese voice actor.
The new Guilty enters Pick Up Recruitment after the September 17 maintenance and remains available until October 8 at 4:59 AM. Its timing falls directly within the mid-September window previously established by SHIFT UP for the new bunny event COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN, although Guilty: Mighty Bunny's full combat kit and the complete update details have not yet been published in the primary material currently available.

Guilty: Mighty Bunny and Pick Up Recruitment
Guilty Is Receiving a New SSR, Not Merely a Costume
The most important part of this reveal is that Guilty: Mighty Bunny is presented as a new SSR Nikke.
The official announcement does not use the format normally associated with a costume reveal. Instead, Guilty: Mighty Bunny is directly introduced as an SSR Nikke and receives its own Pick Up Recruitment period.
That makes it a separately playable version of the original Guilty.
The official global account uses the English name Guilty: Mighty Bunny, while the Japanese account uses ギルティ：マイティバニー.
Its description combines two defining ideas: Guilty's extraordinary physical strength and a cutting-edge suit that forms the basis of the “super-charged sci-fi bunny” concept.
Pick Up Recruitment Begins After the September 17 Maintenance
Guilty: Mighty Bunny's recruitment begins after maintenance on September 17, 2026.
The banner then remains open until October 8 at 4:59 AM.
That gives Mighty Bunny a fundamentally different acquisition route from the way players first obtained Guilty in 2023.
When the original Guilty debuted, she was not introduced as a Special Recruit character. Guilty, Sin and Quency were the three Real Kindness SSRs obtainable through the Liberation system, requiring players to complete daily missions and build progress toward unlocking one of them.
Official information at the time specifically stated that those versions would not be included in Recruitment.
Guilty: Mighty Bunny reverses that situation for her alternate form: this version is directly tied to a Pick Up banner.
From the Rehabilitation Center to a High-Tech Bunny Design
Guilty has always been characterized around the extraordinary physical power associated with Real Kindness.
Her original appearance was closely tied to the Rehabilitation Center alongside Sin and Quency, with restraints and controlled movement forming major parts of her visual identity.
Mighty Bunny gives that presentation a dramatic redesign.
The recruitment artwork uses black, white and neon green alongside large mechanical equipment positioned behind her body. Bunny ears, a bow tie and rabbit-themed suit elements are combined with sci-fi hardware rather than relying on a purely casino-style bunny costume.
The visual is already clear, but official information has not yet explained whether the equipment has a specific story function or directly reflects her weapon and skills.
The Reveal Arrives Ahead of COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN
SHIFT UP previously used its August 2026 Developer's Note to announce COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN as a new bunny girl event scheduled for mid-September.
At the time, the identities of the featured characters were being kept secret. The developer only teased that at least one Nikke first introduced before 2025 would return with a brand-new look.
Guilty fits that timeline, as her original playable version has been available through Liberation since January 2023.
Her September 12 Mighty Bunny reveal then arrives immediately before the mid-September period described by the developer, with her recruitment beginning September 17.
On the same day, Sin: Swift Bunny was also announced as another new SSR. Sin's Pick Up starts later, running from September 24 at 5:00 AM through October 15 at 4:59 AM.
Although the bunny connection is clear, the full COIN RUSH SHOWDOWN patch information still needs to be published before its complete character lineup, story, rewards and event structure can be treated as confirmed.
Mighty Bunny's Combat Kit Is Still Under Wraps
The initial announcement focuses on the character's identity, artwork, voice actor and recruitment period.
There is not yet a Skill Introduction explaining how Guilty: Mighty Bunny operates in combat.
That means it remains unknown whether she will retain the original Guilty's Shotgun or move to another weapon type.
Her Burst stage, class, code/element, cooldown, skill effects, team buffs, personal damage mechanics and Burst Skill also remain undisclosed.
The same applies to her recruitment status after the banner ends.
The preview does not call Mighty Bunny limited and does not explain whether she will later enter Ordinary Recruit, Molds or another pool. Until a complete patch note or recruitment notice appears, that status should remain unconfirmed.
Sin: Swift Bunny Extends the Real Kindness Theme
Guilty is not the only Real Kindness member receiving a new bunny version in the September 12 reveals.
NIKKE's official account has also introduced Sin: Swift Bunny, whose announcement emphasizes Sin's captivating voice and speed.
Sin's recruitment runs on a separate schedule: September 24 at 5:00 AM through October 15 at 4:59 AM.
With Guilty and Sin both receiving bunny-themed alternate SSRs, Real Kindness has become one of the clearest connective threads across the latest announcements.
Quency has previously received another playable alternate version through Quency: Escape Queen, meaning all three original Liberation members now have a history of playable forms beyond their first units.
This article remains centered on Guilty: Mighty Bunny, however, and does not assume any additional lineup beyond characters individually confirmed by official announcements.
Why This Matters
1) Guilty finally enters a Pick Up banner through an alternate SSR
The original Guilty is notable for being a Liberation character rather than a Recruit unit. Mighty Bunny gives her a new version with a direct Pick Up banner.
2) The bunny concept preserves Guilty's defining strength
Official copy still emphasizes her physical power, then builds the new design around a high-tech suit rather than replacing that identity.
3) Real Kindness is back in the spotlight
The Guilty and Sin reveals give two members of the squad bunny-themed alternate SSRs within closely connected recruitment periods.
4) The biggest gameplay details are still being saved
Weapon, element, class, Burst stage, skill kit and limited-versus-permanent status have not yet been announced, leaving major information for the next update.
