''Replicant D-ignition'' was first announced at the JAEPO 2015 event. A preliminary announcement movie was released on February 18th, 2015 featuring "The Dark One" and [[RINON]], who is seen fusing six colored orbs into her body. The event started on March 5th, 2015. [[Truare!]] ''must'' be unlocked and cleared on EXTRA STAGE on any difficulty before you can access this event.

Once at least one vial has been filled, the Replicant D-ignition folder will appear during EXTRA STAGE. The folder contains between one and five songs, depending on which NITRO vials have been filled. Hovering over the folder will play a sound resembling a low-pitched warning siren. Once opened, you cannot exit until the end of the credit. The background and background music change to a darker mood, hiding song previews and BPM.
Once at least one vial has been filled, the Replicant D-ignition folder will appear during EXTRA STAGE, with the song based on which NITRO vials have been filed. When the cursor is placed on the Replicant D-ignition folder, a low-pitched siren will play. When selected, the game will first display a warning prompt informing about the songs of extreme difficulties; once the folder is opened, the player is then locked onto the folder until the end of the credit, and RINON will be forced as the dancer character. Unlike Replicant D-action, this folder can be accessed on VERSUS with at least one player clearing BOSS ON PARADE, but that other player who did not clear the event will retain the chosen character instead of RINON).


The next goal is to obtain five orbs (オーブ) by obtaining a AA rank or above on EXPERT on each of the five songs. When playing a Replicant D-ignition song, the player's character is replaced by RINON. (The exception to this is in VERSUS: if one player has not finished the BOSS ON PARADE event yet, their character will appear as normal.)
As like Replicant D-action, its game background and background music change to a darker mood, while song previews and BPM are hidden. There, the player is presented with songs they have made available.


After obtaining five orbs, [[EGOISM 440]] will appear as a sixth song in the Replicant D-ignition folder. By clearing EGOISM 440 with a AA or higher on EXPERT, the screen will briefly flash a sixth orb in the center of the five orbs before they are lost (pass or fail, you need to collect five orbs to play EGOSIM 440 again). A cutscene then plays, leading the player into the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE with no opportunity to change options.
The next goal is to obtain five orbs (オーブ) by obtaining a AA rank or above on EXPERT on each of the five songs. After acquiring all the five orbs, [[EGOISM 440]] will appear as a sixth song in the Replicant D-ignition folder. Playing EGOISM 440 will cost all the five orbs and players must repeat the process again to make the song reappear.


The ENCORE EXTRA STAGE song is [[MAX.(period)]] (on the same difficulty you played EGOISM 440), with "The Dark One" being the player's character. Regardless of the options used for EGOISM 440, the modifiers 1.5x speed and Reverse are forced. Clearing MAX.(period) unlocks "The Dark One" as a selectable dancer, and you are then shown a picture of "The Dark One" in the background of MAX.(period)'s dance stage, followed by on-screen text reading "THANK YOU FOR PLAYING" and "NEXT PHASE WILL BE COMING SOON!".
By clearing EGOISM 440 with the same aforementioned condition, the player will play [[MAX.(period)]] as ENCORE EXTRA STAGE based on the difficulty played for EGOISM 440. A cutscene will play before the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE and will not be able to change any options in-between. 1.5x speed and Reverse are forced during play, and "The Dark One" is set as the character.


==== Second Phase ====
The second phase of Replicant D-ignition started on March 26th, 2015, which added MAX.(period) (and its CHALLENGE chart) as an EXTRA STAGE song (if the player clears said song as ENCORE EXTRA STAGE), and similar to EGOISM 440, playing MAX.(period) will cost all the five orbs (now as a darker shade). During this Phase, if the player's character is neither RINON nor "The Dark One", then their character will appear like normal with "The Dark One" appearing as a backup dancer. However, if the player plays EGOISM 440, their character will still be replaced by RINON like in in the first phase.


The second phase of Replicant D-ignition started on March 26th, 2015. You ''cannot'' proceed unless you cleared MAX.(period) on ENCORE EXTRA STAGE.
By obtaining a AA rank or higher on MAX.(period)'s CHALLENGE chart, another cutscene will be played and will be forced onto playing [[Over The "Period"]] as ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, on two levels lower than MAX.(period) played on EXTRA STAGE. Note that the player plays without any modifiers and speed modifiers cannot be set as well. As the words "ATTACK PERFECT FULL COMBO!!" are display during the announcement; a PERFECT FULL COMBO is required to clear the stage (getting anything lower than GREAT will trigger an instant stage failure). Like MAX.(period), if the player's character is neither RINON nor "The Dark One", RINON will appear as a backup dancer instead of "The Dark One".
 
The player again must collect five orbs, which now appear a darker color; having all five reveals MAX.(period) and its CHALLENGE chart in the folder as a seventh EXTRA STAGE song. Clearing MAX.(period) as the EXTRA STAGE unlocks RINON as a selectable dancer. During this Phase, if the player's character is neither RINON nor "The Dark One", then their character will appear like normal with "The Dark One" appearing as a backup dancer. However, if the player plays EGOISM 440, their character will still be replaced by RINON like in in the first phase. You will lose all your orbs upon playing MAX.(period), regardless if you pass or fail.
 
Getting a AA rank or higher on MAX.(period)'s CHALLENGE chart flashes a sixth orb in the center of the five orbs, followed by a second cutscene video and jumping into ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. Speed modifiers cannot be set, and any modifiers the play had beforehand are disabled.
 
The ENCORE EXTRA STAGE this phase is [[Over The "Period"|Over The “Period”]] (on two levels lower than MAX.(period)). The words "ATTACK PERFECT FULL COMBO!!" display during the announcement; a GREAT or lower immediately ends the song. If the player's character is neither RINON nor "The Dark One", RINON will appear as a backup dancer instead of "The Dark One".
 
As of December 24th, 2015, everything in Replicant D-ignition is automatically unlocked for everyone except Over The "Period"'s CHALLENGE chart, which can only be played on EXTRA STAGE only.

==== Updates ====
As of April 9th, 2015, orbs for the first six Replicant D-ignition songs can be obtained on DIFFICULT, and MAX.(period)'s orb can be obtained on EXPERT. Due to a bug, if two players were on Versus Play with Player 1 on non-Premium Play and Player 2 on Premium Play, it was possible for Player 1 to obtain an orb for MAX.(period) on BASIC or DIFFICULT, and an orb for EGOISM 440 on BEGINNER or BASIC. This was fixed on April 14th, 2015.

As of July 2nd, 2015, orbs for the first six songs can be obtained on BEGINNER, and MAX.(period)'s orb can be obtained on BASIC. In addition, when Over The “Period” is cleared, the Thank You For Playing screen becomes a picture of RINON walking into a white light with the words "Replicant D-ignition" and "THANK YOU FOR PLAYING" displayed. Should the player re-enter Replicant D-ignition after clearing Over The “Period”, the orbs go back to their 1st Phase brighter color.

As of July 23rd, 2015, the amount of NITRO obtained is doubled.


As of August 6th, 2015, the Replicant D-ignition event has ended and the folder is no longer accessible. The NITRO-doubling bonus is removed; any songs with full NITRO vials instead appear in the ''EXTRA ATTACK'' folder. Neither RINON nor "The Dark One" are unlockable for those who did not unlock them during the event. The song and chart unlocking mechanics have changed:
From July 23rd to August 6th, 2015, the amount of NITRO obtained is doubled.


:Only the BEGINNER and BASIC charts of the five NITRO-vial songs appear at first. Unlocking a BASIC chart for normal play via ''EXTRA ATTACK'' reveals its DIFFICULT chart on EXTRA STAGE, and so on for EXPERT. Unlocking all five BASIC charts reveals EGOISM 440's BEGINNER and BASIC charts. Unlocking all five DIFFICULT charts ''and'' EGOISM 440's BASIC chart reveals EGOISM 440's DIFFICULT chart, and so on for EXPERT.
====Unlocking via EXTRA ATTACK====
On August 6th, 2015, the Replicant D-ignition event has ended and the folder is no longer accessible and neither RINON nor "The Dark One" are unlockable for those who did not unlock them during the event.  


:Unlocking EGOISM 440's BASIC chart reveals MAX.(period)'s BEGINNER and BASIC charts. Unlocking EGOISM 440's DIFFICULT chart ''and'' MAX.(period)'s BASIC chart reveals MAX.(period)'s DIFFICULT chart, and so on for EXPERT. This process is repeated for MAX.(period) and Over The "Period".
All the seven songs from the folder had moved to the ''EXTRA ATTACK'' folder, thus revamping the unlocking conditions. These conditions are as follows:
*Note that for all the seven songs, only BEGINNER and BASIC charts appear at present. By unlocking BASIC, DIFFICULT will be available and then EXPERT if DIFFICULT is unlocked (CHALLENGE charts are conditional):
*Any NITRO-vial songs that have been filled will appear first.
*EGOISM 440's charts could be unlocked by unlocking the first five songs up to the highest difficulty level unlocked.
*MAX.(period)'s charts could be unlocked by unlocking EGOISM 440's charts up to the highest difficulty level unlocked.
*Over The "Period"'s charts could be unlocked by unlocking MAX.(period)'s charts up to the highest difficulty level unlocked.
*Once Over The "Period"'s EXPERT chart is unlocked, MAX.(period)'s CHALLENGE chart will be available, and unlocking that reveals EGOISM 440's CHALLENGE chart.


:Finally, unlocking Over The "Period"'s EXPERT chart reveals MAX.(period)'s CHALLENGE chart, and unlocking that reveals EGOISM 440's CHALLENGE chart.
As of December 24th, 2015, everything in Replicant D-ignition is automatically unlocked for everyone except Over The "Period"'s CHALLENGE chart, which is an EXTRA STAGE-exclusive.
