So what does the "newtype sense" visual (and I guess audio) cue is supposed to indicate towards the pilot? The back of their brain just got a super sense trigger?
It's a flash of sudden UNDERSTANDING. The bells are for that mystic effect.

so it's like spider sense?
It's a shortcut so you don't have to actually write stuff.
>>15176815
I'm not going to say that it's not.
>>15176758
More or less. It's a sudden flash of insight, them realizing something through the benefit of their extrasensory abilities.

>flash of insight
Hah.
ひらめき / 閃き in SRW used to make the "newtype sound" when used, and it can be translated to either Flash or Insight, depending.
It means the character's spider sense is tingling
>>15176815
It's pretty much exactly that. Spidey's had a very similar effect since his creation.

so Peter Parker is a newtype?
>>15176758
it's the japanese equivalent to whatever Spiderman does, or when you see a light-bulb over someone's head in a cartoon/comedy.
>>15176758
I always though they were just extending their consciousness past their body.
>>15177276
Yeah it's sorta like when samurai sense killing intent
>>15177027
No, the newtypes ARE spiderman
Now you know why the first monsters in KR are mostly bats and spiders.
What does it feel like? A brain zap?

more like a BRAIN BLAST
