- Of the many paths in honkai star rail, the path of elation is one that most understand and gravitate towards. The path of elation is all about pursuing laughter and by extension ones personal happiness. While the aeon of elation Aha does seem to follow this creed, it often does things that seem off brand, if all it pursues is laughter why create tragedies. Well as it happens there is a hidden side to elation, a secret purpose to them that goes beyond what has been advertised
So in this video we are going to explore an alternative theory regarding the path of elation and try to see if the hidden side of elation and its aeon.
Some part of this video comes from the actual lore while others may be speculation on my part as we currently do not know the full story. As such take it with a grain of salt as the point of this video is just a deeper dive into Honkai Star Rail lore.

The Elation more like embracing the absurdity
That what I think off, the way both Aha himself and Mask Fools acted really seems like they are the representation of absurdism which is funny because that mean we basically got all three philosophies of life already in this game which are:
IX & Self-Annihilators (Nihilism)
Doctors Of Chaos (Existentialism)
Aha & Mask Fools (Absurdism)
Not really, that’s the path of enigmata. Elation isn’t obsurdity but maybe addiction instead?
@@tinkayo129The irony of absurd addiction to fun and hippieness(emotions, memory, dreams), huh.
Its interesting. I think both Elation and Enigmata will be more explored soon in the coming patches.
That's if this theory is true....but for now...Aha looking more like a hedonist than absurdist
i cant believe albert camus is the aeon of elation
IMO AHA is also the aeon of Irony. AHA is there laughing at someone thinking their plan will go a certain way, not knowing that something is going to throw them for a loop. And that loop can either be tragic or comedic depending on its nature. Fools operate in the same way. Seeing someone having a bad day and trying to make them smile. Seeing someone having a good day and introducing inconvenience or tragedy. But to varying scales.
Like I’m sure Sparkle is on Penacony pulling strings to make sure everything ends as poetically as possible, be it tragically or comedically, but certainly ironically. In a way, everyone is Sparkle, because everyone is throwing a wrench in someone else’s plans either knowingly or not. Acting with certainty in a chaotic play is the upmost foolishness. “Pretending to be smart like you do”.
With this I think Aha saw the dull machinations of the universe and seeks to introduce chaos, randomness, and drama. Because if nothing will matter after the credits roll, at least the story can be entertaining.
We all know Dr. Ratio is the hidden emanator of elation. To sum it up it is because of his ironic pursuit to spread knowledge and wisdom to the peoples of the universe to ultimately be rejected by Nous and blessed by Aha. Dr. Ratio should really be called HaRatio due to this enlightened purpose.
"Laugh. Laugh because otherwise you'll cry kiddo. We are all sure to see the worst horrors in the world and we need to see it and move on. So laugh at the sky, the moon, the world and all its pain, cause none of us make it out alive."
I understand elation as "If nothing matters, why not just have fun to the fullest?"
Thats probably an accurate way of looking at elation, this was mostly just an alternative look at the path and its ideals 😁
I'm not gonna have fun to my fullest, if you're gonna blow up the same train I'M IN.
Elation seems to just be seeking entertainment in general which often can result in laughter regardless of what happened. As long as you are entertained you are feleing elation. Also the breathless laughter makes me think everybody is trying to make themselves laugh so hard and so much they die
And the way its also matching with two main factions of Elation!
Mask Fools as The Comedy Side
&
Mourning Actors as The Tragedy Side
HooH: Equilibrium as all its should be.
Thats actually really cool to think about Aha and its whole path of elation ngl
I think this gives me a whole new perspective of why sparkle is doing destructive things and disguising herself as other people, because she knows her place
I like the more complex aha but why not both, on the surface he is just laughs and giggles but on the deeper end he is one big cope for the pre determined universe
Both is good
Mask fools are definetly my 3rd fav faction 1st is self anihilators bcs theyre so interesting and 2nd is memokeepers
Yea it was crazy. I was pulling on acheron and i had ran out of stellar jade and then somehow i blacked out and had 50 more pulls. I swear Aha was playing some tricks on me
I did all I could to resist sparkle, will definitely pick her up on a rerun
Elation and nihilty are two sides of the same coin. After seeing the meaninglessness of the universe they went different ways to cope with the realisation. One just wants to make everything laugh while the other decided that apathy would get you through

Stay in the kitchen and keep cooking my man. You're a good chef❤
WHY WOULD YOU CALL ME OUT ON NOT HAVING ENOUGH PULLS... I TRIED TO GET HER LIGHTCONE I'M AN INNOCENT MAN LMFAO. But I think its also to notice that Aha is STILL mourning the death of Akivili as they have interacted with us, cried and said "I'm so sad, why did you die?" and the TB for a moment "feels like they truly died". Aha also apologises for blowing up the train which is interesting, and basically almost decimates us after calling us "Fake Akivili" (In swarm disaster iirc). Aha is basically the Aeon of "Showing emotions" rather than only Elation, and Maybe the true Elation is to feel emotions so you can feel the sad ones and move on. I absolutely loved this video btw!! Aha trying to teach mortals ways of.coping with the hard reality is something that is not widely talked about. Another banger video 👌💫
Edit: And to answer the last question, I like my Aeons complex and with many faces 👏👏👏
bro really used the ben10 masks
Hahaha caught that did you 😂
Omfg i was wondering where i had seen those
This side of Aha is like the people on Twitter who think ruining people's careers and slandering said people are funny
Seeing what you expected to happen isnt funny. We even rarely laugh hearing the same jokes again and again. That is a joke. Rather, I think what interests Aha is the unexpected choices.
the theory misses the important question, why did the child falling from the tree make Aha laugh in the first place? What's funny about this? and isn’t this the same tree that Aha climbed? which begs the next question - what kind of child is this?
I think Aha laughed because there was nothing else he could do. The universe is meaningless, might as well have fun whiln it exists
The child tho I think is a metaphor that will be explained later, it certainly isn't an actual baby
I just had to get Sparkle and her lc, what are the chances?
Unironically though, elation is still my top 3 favorite parts and it ain't 3
Not related to the vid but yesterday I decided to go to hsr data banks and saw the Galaxy Ranger description. It got me confused bc Acheron claims she's one eventho she is most probably an emanator of nihility. In the description of Galaxy Ranger, it says they're like someome who respects lan and they follow it's path or something. If Acheron is a self-proclaimed Galaxy Ranger, while being an Emanator of IX, does that mean one doesn't particularly have to be like a huge fan of a certain Aeon to be it's emanator or something or it's kinda unique to Nihility, bc I feel like I read something related to it somewhere.
Another thing to look at it is that maybe Acheron doesn't particularly look up to Lan but she knows what she's currently doing, the exploring galaxy and sht to fend enemies or smthing is aligned to what the Galaxy Rangers does.
Mourning Actors are the non-followers opposing Aha, but they receive blessings from Elation and became emanators because Aha find it funny "trying to convince others Aha is evil or smth when they themselves are emanators of it".
The answer is actually simple, Acheron simply faked her identity as a Galaxy Ranger which means she actually has nothing to do with Lan at all in lore wise + we will be getting Boothill, an ACTUAL & REAL Galaxy Ranger in 2.2 which might be hint that his ticket actually got stolen by Acheron and we might have the confrontation arc between Acheron & Boothill!
@@dontshitontravelermains5498 oooh that actually makes sense. I was just confused bc Acheron actually does act like a Galaxy Ranger in which she defeats like enemies and stuffs.
@@kish4corheunbl I mean, she gives off very Hunt vibe if you ignore her backstory and how gloomy she is sometimes so can’t blame you on that one lol.
nope, you don't need to be a fan of an Aeon to become an Emanator. I think it's by choice of the Aeon, like Aha made a worm an Emanator, or even gave the mourning actors, who oppose it, parts of its powers. And Emanators are said to draw power directly from their path. So I think becoming one just overwrites the path you're following and the source you're drawing powers from in a sense, but it doesn't influence you're agenda. Again, the mourning actors as a reference.
As for Acheron, I think she became an Emanator of Nihility by accident. Because IX doesn't seem like an Aeon, that would make someone its Emanator by conscious decision. It's against the concept of nihility. Also, judging from her latest trailer, I think her goal is to hunt down IX, because she makes it responsible for the destruction of her home world (at least that's how I interpret her attacking the black hole at the end). I think it could explain why she claims to be a Galaxy Ranger, and why her motivations might be very well aligned with the concept of the Hunt and the goals of the Rangers, despite being an Emanator of Nihility. But that's just my opinion. ^^
Not bad but not quite there yet at the aha moment, brother. Aha has many fuNctions. It wants to play, but just like [...] there is a darkness behind the mask of play.
Funny enough, the answer is the same as to why you play, always the same and yet... different
Hoyoverse Games Exist :
Lore Crafters : Its a Loop
Nihility s name is IX (9 in roman numbers) not X (10)
🎭 Aha is so BASED
If you have the viewpoint of a god lots of bad stuff happening to ants (f.ex) can be "Fun".

💀💀😔
2:00 Gotta love the ben 10 references
Haha didnt think anyone would catch that
Although I’m a ff simp also a nihility amd destruction enjoyer. We shouldn’t deny the fact the Aha. Is the best aeon of all and Sampo is stronger than Acheron because he is an emanator of elation
