But that is the entire point of Soujaku existence tho? She is just normal human (okay not so normal as she is a Jutsu) but she is so ordinary, even as a Jutsu it is not like is super powerful like the other six. She struggling to survive in a city as a con artist even though she is not that good at lyng. She realize that she is not special that's why she don't have the courage to dream big. She is just a petty small-time trickster and thief until Byakuku and Thelema pick her. Heck, even her name is not even a Soujaku nor she even has oriental origin. But that's why she is a fit as Giman no Jutsu (Deception Shu), to trick Kakku to copy her, Also because she is just a small fry that try to pleases everyone (because of her fear), she also a good mediator among Jutsus
valid input
ofc she's homeless i bet she only takes a bath once a month on thelemas mantion or in the shadow pool
I don't trust people who bathe in the shadow pool..
Maan i can never get bored of your theories, to me they are on point. 😂

@@captainplayshonkai7768 hahaha😂😅... We're screwed aren't we💀
you deserve more views
Thank you!
true
Honestly, I suspect 'the system' that part 2 is taking part in is a system Mars developed to handle Honkai energy and Ajita is one of the architects. We have 12 Astral Rings, that from what we saw with Songque, can act similar to herrscher cores. What if the bet that the gods talked about in this patch number 12. Remember there were also 12 herrschers before finality. Piecing these bits together you have a system that can manage the manifestation of Herrschers by capturing the Honkai energy in a Astral RIng and effectively create a psudo herrscher. So what happened? Well, Sena refers to herself as a failed Goddess of Mars who failed to 'embrace' finality. So finality happened and the Astral Ring system they used to manage honkai energy couldn't handle the power. Maybe it caused all the 'gods' to go somewhat crazy too. I don't think Ajita will be a major villian but I think she will be important. Frankly, so far she is really tame compared to some of the psychopathic scientists we have had. Jackel and Otto, just to name too, leave her completely in the dust as far as monster behaviour goes.
Honestly my biggest problem with part 2 is the "unrefined feel". I don't know if it's only me, but i have seen alot of jank and honestly oversights from the devs. Like mid the visual novel esk parts, character models can flash for a frame or two to be rendered. This destroys my flow of reading quite a bit. Lack of facial animations (except sena) in their idle animations, Music of the map playing for a second before switching to the event or VN part music, no matching lip syncing in jp dub(the lips only follow chinese dub), facing the chair to sit instead having an animation of the character turning around, the character just teleports to position to sit and etc. This makes the game feel cheap and unfinished. Especially since it's now using the same game engine as HSR i think... The map design is kinda bad. Oxia is honestly not bad it's only problem is the number of empty corridors seperating parts of the map. I think they are there to load the map, but HSR doesn't need to load part of maps and both can run phones (Ik hsr has these type of loading doors too but they blend well and i never thought about them unlike the ones in hi3). Lanqiu is not good at all. If we ignore the floating metal platforms of the puzzles (these puzzles are also kinda bad), Lanqiu really consists of corridors and flat feeling halls and is mostly forgettable. The music in oxia, over time it gets really annoying and it feels disconnected from the map. In terms of technical aspects part 2 feels lacking in my opinion. Hopefully they will improve in chapter 5
What if Evil Dreamseeker is a sort of AntiVirus and she believed Vita to be an external Virus?
Please hoyo make Ajita playable, don't give her the Jackal treatment Edit: can you please explain what you mean with "utopia" made by Ajita? Cuz Langqu doesn't seem like an utopia to me at all
The Oxia and Langqiu in the fake samsara Ajita made, has no shadow calamities. It’s a utopia because there’s no danger and everyone is just having fun
@@captainplayshonkai7768 I still haven't finished the story of part 2, but wasn't the whole point of part 2 gathering all seven shus to stop a shadow calamity? And I don't see how making a fake utopia makes Ajita a bad person
@@b1mbap Mei and Bronya enlisted Dreamseeker to continue to learn about the shadow calamity to wake Kiana up in Chapter 3-EX. If we went into a completely peaceful world where everything’s fine but Kiana is still asleep, something is horribly wrong. If there is no shadow calamity then Dreamseeker can’t learn about them and Kiana can’t wake up. The question is: Why would Ajita create this world? To hide the truth of the shadow calamities? Or is there something bigger at play involving her that she wants to hide?
Vita is our only hope. God help us all.
Get your Vitamins ready, you’re going to need them
The fact that Ajita is the only female shu that was not playable or made as an astral op makes her more SuS to me.
16:52 okay now I'm concerned because after seeing her in this image not going to lie she resembles Kafka to me that's scary Also I don't think she is Kafka I'm just saying they look similar and I don't mean Kafka from the Stigmata I mean Kafka from HSR
Could care less. Does seem interesting but based on what the devs has done previously, probably gonna redeem, forgive and forget whatever heinous acts they did as per all the villain that Hoyo has done so far. Vita was great when she is introduced. Now I absolutely loath seeing her stinking face. Suffered through all those chapters, being toyed all the way, just to well forgive and forget what she did. I'm done. I miss Elysian Realm the most as those really feel the heavy stakes and losses.
What villains have they done this to? Sirin still atoned with death, so did Otto, they barely tried to redeem Herrscher of Corruption. Vita is still an enigma and they're only working with Hyperion for now. If you don't wanna play the game anymore just say so, but stop trying to find faults where there aren't any. Besides, what heavy stakes and losses are you talking about with ER, they're literally all already dead.
@@theguythatdoesstuff1004 Most of them? This just my opinion and experience with the game. You are FREE to enjoy it however you want. Good for YOU. The fault/flaws I find does not necessarily mean that it'd be bad or other players might find it as a fault. And for the "don't wanna play?" I already said I was done. Some parts I enjoyed more, some parts I don't, some I wanted the story elaborated more. How the characters react to them despite the villains never showing an ounce of regret. Sirin is just a tragic. The catalyst of said tragedy is again Otto. And I really love him as a villain. But as a player on the opposing side, I really wished he suffered more or I guess a more satisfying ending (again this is my personal preference on how it should end). You are manipulated till the end for his arc. Dudu spouting how she fights for humanity yet turns a blind eye what Otto has done. How they just happily accepts Nagamitsu.. the scientist that works under Otto and conducted inhumane experimentation. Jackal also dissapears with no explanation what happened to her. The entire arc city was her experimentation with civilians turned to zombies. Devs wrote all these awesome villains yet the closure isn't there or it's too short or their interactions with others does not make sense for me.
@@theguythatdoesstuff1004 I can't say much on Vita on the current story as I've stopped after Thelema was released. It just irks me how friendly they are to a person that destroys worlds, manipulated and tried to kill them. I just wish they spend more time to flesh out the character development to show that at that point in the story. For me, a great example is Fu Hua. Boy do I hate her a lot after her betrayal but her redemption was done well imo. For ER, I enjoyed knowing more and more about the flamechasers and their battle/sacrifice till the end. The stakes are losses they endured is there no? As for the virtual data themselves, I interpret them as semi alive I guess, due to how they are capable of acting/thinking on their own. I think Mobius was trying to replace Mei consciousness with her own? Then there's also them making plans on dealing with HoC. Seeing them slowly erased one by one, poor pardo etc just evoke a lot of emotions for me.
@@DraxFyre Again, Vita is an incomplete villain, judging her now would be like judging Sirin right after chapter 9 or Otto before his death, you said it yourself you hated Fu Hua after her betrayal but then changed your mind, Vita's story isn't even close to finished yet something might still happen. I think it speaks more of the maturity of the Hyperion crew that they're willing to work with someone like that even if they have their grievances, currently Vita is the most knowledgeable in the Sea of Quanta so working with her is necessary. As you might have heard the story gets good pretty much right after the point you dropped, I believe you're being too hasty and judging both the story and characters as a whole while said story is still in It's setup phase and hasn't even reached the climax yet. Pretty much every moment you described yourself as enjoying came in the later parts of an Arc (people started dying in the second half of ER) or even in other Arcs that came later (Fuhua's redemption only came in Meteor City, I believe 3 chapters after her betrayal), saying there aren't emotional or narrative payoffs in part 2 when you haven't even reached the second half of the first arc of the story is a bit unfair and shortsighted in my opinion.
@@theguythatdoesstuff1004 I don't think there's anything wrong with judging the content based on what is currently shown. Can't use future events to explain why they act this way in the present unless they are omniscient and know the future. My issue is not that Vita is incomplete. It's the way it's written just doesn't make sense/contradicts what is established on the same chapter etc. Vita was such a banger when she was introduced in salt snow city arc with seele. But the total 360 change of Seele attitude in dealing with Vita at the end just in such a short time span... ruins what was great in establishing Vita and SA. I was interested all the way through that story arc until... the disappointing conclusion. And the whole revives thing just utterly destroy whatever sense of risk. And the current theme of this dreamseeker thing gives me the same vibe. I dunno man, all these bubble universe, data or dream thing is just making it too confusing for me and I feel like the writer can just revive anyone with the setting. To clarify, what I hate about Fu Hua is her betrayal... which is written well hence the feeling. It made sense, explained and flows well. I was invested from start to finish. As for the current story, sure I'll find some video to watch the story again where I left off and see how it goes. My disappointment in the story is just 1 part of why I stopped. The other being burned out with the characters being inflexible. Tired of trying to get a full set just to make the newest character viable. Then comes the team composition. Part 2 just makes it worse... as all the part 1 character that I spend years with.. gone.. can't be used? It's a good start for new players for sure. But I miss using Elysia/Sushang, the trio girls, Dudu/Prome... Yae and Vampire Luna. Anyways, I'm glad you are enjoying it.
Good video, I didn't play attention to the story so thank you
Glad I could help!
Ajita about to be even worse than Kevin, Otto, and Sirin.

@@captainplayshonkai7768 what do you mean looking at you
@@GamerLightWarrior456 combined?
The thing about part 2 chapter one.. And chapter 2 is that its a new Arc. And new arcs start slow. It feels slow especially when the previous chapter was Fuhua garuda Arc. And griseo and Sa.. As well as massive lore dumps. So it feels really slow.. With new characters.. And new introductions. But as we progress.. Its getting really better with huge reveals.. As well as great deals of new character. With the plus of characters being more affordable for F2P players. And the new Dream seeker reveal was awesome.
Honestly its too early for me to properly give an opinion for Part 2 story, too early in as we have just a few chapters Yeah Hi3 story start with Kiana, Mei and Bronya was better done and it gradually got better as well Of course it had its up and downs which comes with stories But for Part 2, have to see where they go really. Like how Kiana talks with a Memokeeper
Thanks for watching! Just want to let you know that I am global so don’t spoil Chapter 5 or any upcoming chapter for me please
@@captainplayshonkai7768 Ah its okay, I won't spoiler anything in that matter ^^ Enjoy the game and story!
@@Shinkuruju Thank you!
After part 4, I can definitely say I’m at least sorta hooked after whatever happened with ch. 1&2 As for characters, I thought Coralie would probably stay my favorite but Sena grew on me, though that’s partially due to the lack of actual interactions we/DS actually get with Coralie and Helia. Biggest gripe with first chapter was they spent so much time on just worldbuilding that the entire chapter went in through one ear out the other, while the characters sorta just… don’t exist for much. I had no idea what was going on with the shus for a pretty solid portion of it honestly. I read second chapter a pretty long while ago and dont remember jack except for how long thelema took lmao. Third-Fourth I kinda liked, at least towards the end. Open world definitely made story a bit more of a struggle imo, in part cus open world never really makes the story more enjoyable, and I rarely ever do open world in hi3 for the gameplay. Also its tragically comedic how they seriously, literally deleted male ds from the game, like damn. I usually don’t care too much about character outfits but after people pointed out female ds outfit I gotta say that is uhhh… something…
Part 2 is literally potential man 💀 “It will be so good when…”, “Just wait until…” but never “It is so good” lol.
When part 2 story began I was actually hyped for it and I was excited to meet new characters. Of course the beginning act was kinda boring but I did enjoy it. And the middle of the story was good but I hated thelema’s part in they story because I was genuinely bored out of my mind and I honestly didn’t enjoy it. But the last part of the arc was genuinely interesting and I was excited to see what would happen next. The EX chapter is alright though, and I honestly don’t mind the whole mars is a giant supercomputer and it was all a illusion(?). Overall I give the first arc of part 2 a 6/10 good and interesting but has a lot flaws to it, if I hadn’t played the current story with vita because now I would give it a a 7/10 because that part of the story was genuinely good and a lot of lore.
Heres my crack theory. The original writers last arc was kolosten cause that was peak honkai with otto being partially redeemed. Sangi and his team made elysian realm and sumeru for genshin. They also made penacony for HSR. That leaves who is writing the story since moon arc base? The APHO team. I never liked the APHO storyline and character interaction were basically a checklist of how to write a story elememtary stuff its not deep at all. Im not shitting on who ever enjoys hi3 now but i been following this game since the 1st trailer of kiana's sky diving intro. Theres a big difference in storytelling before and after Kolosten arc. And then theres my biggest critism. The switch from animated shorts to in-game cutscenes. Rubia is my personal favorite cause fuhua has such a great story and it was a nice bow tie end. And then theres her fire birb form which is surpposed to be her strongest form we just get one punch man cutscene lol.
You can watch Honkai part 1 Documetary if you in Denial about Honkai writer after Kolosten arc
Hoyo did my girl Helia sooo dirty. She's adorable and I know she has potential we just need to give her some time
@@paikke she fr getting that durandal treatment
I really started liking Part 2 later on, I never hated it but it was soooooo slow and such a burden to return to playing. I actually really like Songque so her story arc coming to a closure was a huge part that made me enjoy the story. I'm still not quite sure what I think of the story after that, but I don't dislike it and I'm intrigued what they will do with it. I was kind of hoping they won't tie Part 1 characters into it too much but it's starting to go that way, not sure what I think of that, very mixed feelings
I liked the story and ch 3EX was just so good. But there´s something that I´m still unsure on how to feel, and thats the whole "samsara" stuff, if all is just a loop and everytime the Dreamseeker logs out will appear in a different loop then why the hell did they try to do so emotional the "death" of Songque, she had such an amazing development in ch3 but you know what? That development just disappear when you realizen every loop you will find another Songque. Honestly is like an insult, will I not ever see again our Songque that was just so happy to finally get not just one but 4 best friends? Maybe in that timeline after Helia, Coralie, DS and Sena "logged out" each and everyone of them will just forget them, Songque will remember she somehow saved Langquiu but will never remember she had such amazing friends once, honestly that sucks. If this is what they are planning doing every arc then I'm sorry, it will be impossible for me to feel any kind of empathy, because at the end of the day, that suffering will just vanish when I meet another version of that character in the next simulation
That does remove tension, but I have hope they’ll find a way
@@captainplayshonkai7768 I just hope we can get to see again the original Songque we got to know because although every Songque has pretty much the same personality it still doesn't feel the same. The other Shus I couldn't care less, but I miss the Songque that was afraid of dying and happy for getting friends
This is not the Honkai Impact I used to play...
Maybe its because I dint have the time to get invested on the story, but I'm not interested in part two's new characters and story overall. I do enjoy the combat though.
I like the Act 1 finale twist, because it’s so cliché it wraps around to being cool, BUT the devs added a twist to the twist, that Coralie and Helia were PCs and not simulations. And they don’t remember Senadina. Spoilers for Chapter 4 ahead: . . . Holy shit they are/were dating! Fuuuuck, the first beat of chapter 4 is so good. Sure, the system was manipulating our emotions, but it was so well shown! The hallucinations and delusions of an easy solution. And when Entropy reached out to Sena, just to discover the girl from Wendy’s… it broke my heart.
Interesting to hear that it got a bit better after chapter 1. I completely dropped the game after chapter 1. The story has been on a decline to me for a while and the chapters late game are way too long for me to maintain interest and try to power through it. "Powering through" a 10 hour story is just torture. Its taken me over a year to finish the Elysian Realm arc and I technically still haven't finished the Moon Arc but I decided to skip to part 2 to give the "fresh start" a try. In the end they lost me when they wanted me to give a shit about characters I just met in an introduction chapter that seemingly never ended and was all over the place. I liked Senadina, Coralie, and Songque but that "like" isn't even that strong either. Pretty much Part 2 didn't cure my burn out like I wanted it to. I'm glad to hear its getting better but for me its too little too late. I don't really think the game is going to hit for me anymore like it used to.
That sucks to hear. Farewell, Captain! Yeah, Chapter 1 really blew it and as I said, hurt it’s reputation because Chapter 3 and beyond are really good, but everyone hated Chapter 1 so much they didn’t want to return
Disclaimer:- long yapping ahead. I am only this critical of part 2 because this was supposed to be the game changer for hi3rd. We got all these new games that look better,play better and whatnot,we got slightly older games like pgr which dominates hi3rd in most aspects so i really wished part 2 to be game breaking but no. Personally arc 1 was really bad for me. For an arc that was advertised to be a new beginning by da wei himself,it did everything opposite of that. 1)Every third line was a callback to part 1, and the writing itself was super bloated and lengthy with complex terms from moon arc . I will prove that: P1 ch 1 was hardly 30 mins long with the combat . P2 ch 1 was close to 3 hrs long without the combat.Why? Introduction chapters arent supposed to be this long. Then we have words like sea of quanta,imaginary tree,pseudotime crystal,cocoon of finality etc. How is a new player supposed to be taking all that in? 2) i also think that the cast is way too big for an introduction arc . 12 new characters in the first arc itself? Hello? Even elysian realm had 11 new characters and thats the second last arc of p1 Too many characters way too early and with no one's surprise, majority of them were handled poorly because too much to do. 3) the world itself felt flat to me. I have played part 2 for a while and that plus the intro cg in ch 1 gives off a wierd impression. Why every part of mars looks like a slightly futuristic earth? Oxia literally gives arc city vibes and that should not be the case. If anyone has played star rail,you would know how different worlds look so different compared to Earth even in gameplay and exploration. Even in hi3rd itself,apho world,phosphorus etc. do not look like the belong to earth. Mars just feels like a copy and i have seen nothing in it that stands out other than that one cg we got during the reveal,which is not good since it is an entire ass planet. How come everything looks the same? Hope that gets better with the new chapter. 4)Mc sucks,no question. No relevance in the story,no motive,cannot fight and isnt playable. Who names their kid entropy? Hoyo gave them voicelines and decided to take everything else which makes a character,a character. Even in the meta they got powercreeped by songque in that patch itself. They arent even featured in the first concept animation of part 2. 5)Combat is mid at best. At this point of time,i was expecting pgr levels of combat,but instead we got worse apho gameplay with half the mechanics. Jump button has been absolutely useless because most characters cannot actually utilize it meaning its just a glorified dodge for characters that cannot use their attacks in air. For example,everyone other than sena and thelema. And songque is already flying. We dont even have a proper parry system. Bruh even zzz got one. Then comes the main feature ,the Astral ring. Why is it worse than white heat after releasing 2 yrs later? As of now,only songque feels different when you trigger AR. Everyone else feels the same as before with just an extra charged attack animation. Also White heat gave us duo ults. Havent seen the same for AR. 6) Lackluster characters - other than songque ,no part 2 characters deserve their gacha s rank tag. Mid animations,and mid movesets. Lantern and theresa are definitely sp valks with the garbage they got. Thelema could have been an easy farmable s rank. All these characters follow the same pattern. Basic attack>charged attack>AR>new charged attack> ult We left this pattern since 3.9 for s ranks. Now we get this old pattern again for no reason. Take any gacha s rank after 3.9 other than aponia,they so have much to offer in gameplay in comparison. 7) Constant s rank releases. If anyone defends this .......... 8) No animated shorts. If hoyoverse thinks that hi3 is anything without their animated shorts and albums,then they are really mistaken.
THIS! ABSOLUTELY YES! I agree with everything you said. They had the perfect chance to step up their game but somehow they messed it up.
very true
It’s probably my biggest gripe, that the Act 1 finale cutscene wasn’t a proper full-length short.
Literally agree on everything you said. Part 2 was supposed to be the game changer and yet
Completely agree with what you said. Even after reading the chapter 5, they messed everything up and reading the story now is basically a torture. -No animated shorts -40 hours of story of chapter 1-2-3 just for nothing really happening because of a loop -Vita is a really bad villain. Seriously, nothing to be compared to Otto or Kevin, the anti hero. Badly written chracters -MC is badly written -HSR fusing has been done terribly. Sparkle pops out of the blue withouth proper introduction and that's it. Poorly introduced withouth any reason to being there. Seriously, what are they doing?
