I apologize for my voice sounding weird, I was still sick when I recorded this video! I have a few things that I want to point out! Due to my health issues, I have been slowly working on this video for about one month. When I wrote the script and recorded it, Chapter 42 wasn’t out yet, so that’s why you don’t see me mentioning anything related to Chapter 42 in the video. There are a few points that I want to address due to having more context now. First, while we first learned that Marah took the cleaners and left Sa in Chapter 39, Chapter 42 gives us more context. Now it's a lot more likely that the one behind the Sky People in APHO is Marah and not Sa. The timeline is still a bit blurry, and while I said in the video that the Sky People that the SUGARs encountered were Sa’s cleaner, we don’t know the exact time when Marah left. We know that it was before Phosphorus even existed, but we also know that the SUGARs were around for millions of years. So, it may be Marah who targeted them, or Marah while still working for Sa. I’m not sure, yet. But I’m almost certain that the Sky People in APHO are under Marah’s control. Second, while we know that Fu Hua, Fuxi, and Nuwa were active for less than 5.000 years, there are some pieces of text that might suggest that Kevin and Su were active for a longer period of time. (At least Kevin) Third. While I said in the video that Griseo became capable of doing the maintenance of the Ark by herself, the text only mentions that she can make small equipment and replace components. Forth. In the video I said that the planet on which Griseo wanted to stop "would later become Phosphorus", but Chapter 42 revealed that it was already named Phosphorus by Vita at that time. Griseo arrived after Sa already created the city, but it had no humans yet. (That's why She needed the Ark) SUBSCRIBE!!!
What do you think about Su's statement that says their solar system has an imaginary barrier zone that encloses it so that space travel is limited This shows that the understanding of the imaginary barrier is already known in the HSR, rather than the Hi3+Su also not being able to pass through the imaginary barrier, which is surprising. Because even Emanator Aeon's class can still easily pass through the imaginary barrier
A Question: Will you makes Chapter 40 - 42 Recap ?, I'm still confused by the whole Vita things, and how Human Sa become the current Sa. I always thought that Vita's flashback is actually Sa's flashback.

BANGER VIDEO! I remember redditors complained about this and their argument is always "but but but MANTIS can't age!!" while there's no single mention/quote that say that at all. I guess probably because it is stated that Fu Hua can't age and assume that everyone is the same, but the catch is that at that time Hoyo hasn't introduced other Flame-Chasers other than Kevin and Su. Funny thing is, most them always said "I don't follow the story anymore, the story going downhill after Everlasting Blaze , etc, etc" and glorified the "Manga" instead of believing the recent information from the game itself just like you said. Cheers to you Homu! Have a speedy recovery!
Mandela effect be like Tho it doesn't help that Hoyo themselves tweak (or even outright retcon) some parts of the lore so it sometimes get pretty messy, especially with the internet's propensity to get hung up on things.
I think what's easily missable is putting aside an abnormal factor in regenerative abilities beyond your peers, 'growing up' and 'growing old' should be understood a bit differently. One is maturing into adulthood and the other is when your biological processes are starting to decline and decay. It's understandable if a MANTIS doesn't seem to grow old to maintain a prime state, but it should also be possible to grow up to attain a new prime state either through slow adjustments over time or due to sudden stimuli and pressing needs. It's also possible that a MANTIS could decline towards an end of their lifespan without showing the same signs of aging that we'd normally recognize as growing old.
I had theory that Mobius basicaly explained in ER that Mantis surgery wasnt perfected by her and immortality, lack of aging and kevin cold hearth were just side effects of it not desired once. Griseo is a last Mantis made and by the time Mobius could have perfected the procedure and remove side effects like lack of aging or just deciede whether she want to keep that ablity or not
In Kevin case, he had Garuda in his chimera gene, and Hua outright said his regeneration even surpassed her in Garuda form. So even if we assume only MANTIS with certain special abilities don't age, Kevin is one of them.
Su and Kevin of course also spent quite some time in the Sea of Quanta and Sumeru respectively (~1500 years in Kevin's case iirc) so I think it is safe to assume they also didn't age as much for that reason. Fu Hua is really such a special case with being truly aging while also being cursed with a perfect memory. I always found it weird to consider her the default mantis. If anything that title should belong to Pardo :3
People might latch onto Fu Hua since he is given the most air time of all the MANTIS, or was for quite along time. Its honestly a shame we never got to learn more about the Flamechasers or Mobius's surgeries. To me Kalpas interests me the most.
Back when Griseo wasnt even revealed as a grown up, i kept saying most of things on your vid It was never stated that MANTIS can't age/grow and Mobi is even stated to be able to grow Hua has the Garuda hyper regen and so does Kevin, and also the fact that they might be, in a sense, similar to a Saiyan, in which they stop undergoing heavy changes past a certain age (which would help with Su's part, plus SoQ shenanigans/Sumeru/magic/BS) Also discussing i also mentioned how hyper regenerative powers allow you to stop aging in other media like comics or anime, like Wolverine, who is like, dunno, 300 years old, but his hyper regen helps him stay relatively young
Could it be related to telomeres? Like maybe all honkai beasts have a limiter on their own growth and that element is passed onto the MANTIS? So when the MANTIS reaches their physical peak they just won't age.
I suppose that they age, maybe slower. A trick is that their DNA doesn`t shorten like most living creatures. That would mean that after reaching a peak, they just won`t olden
@@HomuLabs maybe, I'm not really good at reading this amount of english text. But it's strange, my astronomy knowledge say me that what can be truth thith very low probability: like 3 planets on the edge of solar system doesn't feat with theory of evolution of stars and planetary systems.
14:35 is wrong from that one unfortunate conversation in er where they joke abt kosma liking girls under 9 we can assume griseo is >9. So even if she grew ~5 years she would’ve been somewhere around 14 and definitely not an adult.
Maybe the change is visible because she wasn't an adult at the time of Mantis surgery. Because others already reached their normal heights and all, we cannot observe much growth in Kevin, Su and Hua. And Mobius is the entirely different case with reducing in size upon damage instead.
14:20 we first saw kelvin in the sea of quanta. And i dont know how time works down there. Are we assuming that all the teriteri variants undergo the mantis operation somehow?
I had always assumed that unless it's a special case(Fua and Mobius example), MANTIS's will just remain in same physical body. So in the case of Griseo, her body just aged slowly until reaching her 20s and then stopped. It also seems logical since the MANTIS program was put in place to more or less target Herrschers(cause Divine Keys seem to be more of a one size fits all tool against the Honkai in general). Knowing this, it's only logical that Fire Moth still want the bodies of the younger MANTIS' to grow for optimisation of their powers
I think it's just exactly that, she started puberty while being a mantis; She's the only example of this happening, everyone else was already full grown adults. Fu Hua was 17 so she likely didn't have much more growth to go, besides brain development, which is what I think the manga was referring to. It doesn't seem like a retcon because they never explicitly said Mantis don't age, I think it's much more akin to stopping/slowing the degradation through aging rather than stopping the aging completely.
About the finality of the moon arc there is a moment were Fu Hua reveal that she trained with hers powers during almost 5000 years but Kevin did train during almost 50000 years implying that Kevin woke up rigth after their finality event with Su and with the help of Gray Snake and Klein preparing the launch of all project... Poor Kevin he was not certified for research 😅 or maybe?🤔 Anyway the fact that we forgot that Theresa possed both Vishnu and Kevin's genes can make you wonder how much of a Icy Queen she can really become... and I will not talk about Kiana's case.
I theorize that the sleeping pods don't just allow a being to sleep inside and preserve their physical condition, but it may also be programmed to enhance their physical state toward its ideal -- electrical stimuli for muscular growth, and an ideal mixture of nutrients for other physical growth and maintenance where needed. Griseo is a special case among the MANTISes because she got her surgery as a measure to save her life (therefore the Honkai Beast genes that Mobius gave her might have been directed toward longevity or preservation), but more importantly in this case, she was not physically at full maturity when she went into sleep. If one of the things the ARK pods was designed to do was to train and prepare any MANTISes aboard for possible battle against the Honkai, and particularly against Herrschers, then it seems reasonable to me that it would also be programmed to bring the MANTISes into their ideal condition. Griseo would, one would assume, be a more capable warrior as an adult than as a child, so on top of simulated training, the pod might stimulate physical changes a bit at a time until Griseo had an adult body, so she could be stronger and faster while fighting. But with a MANTIS at full physical maturity, it would be focused on preserving the peak physical condition possible -- so someone like Kevin or Su wouldn't age while sleeping. One thing I keep on returning to is the theory that Teyvat in _Genshin_ is another reality's Project ARK, with a focus on training warriors to fight Herrschers, just like the example above -- except instead of Stigmata, the warriors of Teyvat use Visions and other similar means. Note that there is a mechanic for Ascending your account, characters, and the world, and when you do, rewards improve, but the monsters also become higher level. The test to do this is guarded by Aleph, an elemental being that can only be defeated using elemental power. This is likely to ensure no ordinary person makes the world more dangerous than they can handle. Of course, we won't know more about this until Mihoyo reveals it, and the whole thing with the Descenders, particularly with Celestia not being native to Teyvat (instead of being its administrators) more than 'kind of' demolishes this whole theory. But I still think it's a fun one to work with. I did think a crossover event in the Hoyoverse games to confront the Herrscher of the End would have been cool. This sort of thing is still possible within the framework of _HSR_ against Nanook, but with _HI3_ Part 1 over, it seems unlikely to happen in _HI3_ . But then, _GGZ_ has pitted its heroes against incredible odds, and they had no help from across the Honkaiverse.
Oh my finally saw this video, a lot of people need to watch this. I swear, EVERY TIME someone grows up in Honkai 3rd, the players go absolutely crazy (except for Lyle, they don't care about Lyle). But Silverwing Bronya was a drama. Luna was also a drama. Griseo... And I can already imagine APHO Seele also being one.
Maybe the honkai energy in honkai beasts in humans affects the cells in them, just like 1 billion years ago when Mars was destroyed from honkai and honkai survived until this era. It could be that when the honkai energy disappears then the world will be peaceful, just as in the body of MANTIS if the honkai energy disappears from their body then they will die
Yeah, but keep in mind. She travels all around the universe moving faster than light travel which causes time dilation for example back on earth it’s been 50,000 years but on the spaceship it’s probably been a couple years or longer. Which is probably why she got older. That there could be other factors.
Griseo might be the Primordial one in Genshin impact(Teyvat) and left earth 50,000 years ago, and sent arks to different planets, creating clones of humans back on earth. Which would include, Star Rail planets, and the rest of the universe like Yoyoverse games and it would explain why most of the characters look alike since most of them are Clones or their ancestors anyway. but this is speculation.
While Nuwa and Fuxi weren't full-power Mantis... handpicked assistants of Mobius getting some of that package from lesser Honkai Beasts wouldn't be surprising at all. Or any other enhancement Mobius did.
I think the main reason people believed mantis did not age was due to the obvious fact that the ONLY MANTIS WE KNEW FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE GAME BEFORE ELYSIAN REALM CHANGED SO MUCH LORE WERE, KEVIN, SU, AND FU HUA WHO ALL DID NOT AGE. So I don't blame people for following the train of thought that Griseo growing up is a weird thing that wasn't properly explained even with the ONLY hint that they did was Mobius aging up after regressing her age by having Kalpas kill her a few times (which was mentioned so fast it's easy for people to forget that was even mentioned and felt like a throw away line not proof they can age). so it's hard for people who followed the game for a few years already to just forget all the assumed knowledge we had about Mantis and the flamechasers with the 'hidden' reveal that they do age.
I think why gríseo’s physical appearance changed was since she turned into a MANTIS at the age of 12 implying she would have started to go through puberty or have already hit meaning her body was still developing/maturing while turning into a MANTIS, and this also kind of explains why the other MANTISES’ physical appearance don’t change
Though you're right, I feel its unfair to blame HoYoverse staff for not explain about every Flamechaser/Mantis growth. They're just science fiction after all. You shouldn't expecting everything does have an explanation. Also Coralie also was mention to having her growth stop at some point. Making her probably older than Bronya, Mei and Kiana. ps: this is same like when people talk about Time travel fiction. Questioning how Time travel machine been create but dare to claim they understand theory on how past affecting the future.
Dude just take a look at her mother, Blanca. Griseo had a good heritage long before she "eat all those cabbage". While in mental health... Idk how person can become "adult" without proper social interactions (I can't count those in her Ark dreams as "proper interactions"). Like I prefer to think she's still kind of a teenager even with that sinful grown woman's body that almost copied her mother's.
For my part, I have merely a vague assumption that Griseo has been aged well without being outdated. For illustration, I use Nahida and Paimon in their "shrunk" body shape from Genshin Impact as an example - the two sacrificed their powers to avert a looming disaster. However, this sacrifice took its toll and as a result, we can clearly see Nahida and Paimon as we know them. In Griseo's case, I have the theory that she could be a reverse process - she got strength or mantis power and accordingly a growth boost for her body.
I suspect that Mantis grow to full maturity (25ish) then stop aging/slow down aging dramatically. If I had to explain why maybe the Honkai genes let them grow into a "peak" state for the purpose of wielding Honkai energy better. Fu Hua is more unique in this regard due to her specific Honkai beast locking her into her teenage years, hence the Swara. Mobius being the other example you pointed out as she can die, regressing her age, then grow back up.
My theori is that mantises only develop. When we born, our body grow and devolop untill the age of 17-25, depends on the person, where you reach your peak, and then you star to undevelop and "age" due to acumulation of "flaws" in your genetic material that happen in the celular division and wounds and damage in parts of your body that dont regenerate. My theori is that mantises have way less flaws at their genetic code. This can happen because: 1) their genetic division is slower than normal humans. In normal humans the genetic code cant repair itself because the cells divide way faster, but in some insects, for exemple, where the genetic code divide slower, they repair way more before division. 2) their genetic code doesnt suffer flaws at the division due to the honkai genes having better mitosis process. And the other point is that mantises are capable to regenerate parts that normaly dont, like tendons. With this, whenthey reach their "peak" they will not "grow old" and "frail", they will just stay there. Fu Hua would be an exeption, since she hadnt reached her peak, but this can be just Garuda. What do you think?
I can speculate she woke up multiple times during some events but most of times she was in cryogen sleep or something with entire body freeze. At least i can believe in it.
Kevin is an oddity among MANTIS because he actually allowed Mobius to perform further enhancements on him. I think Su's Honkai beast is also similar to Fu Hua because it has either a crane or a peacock. Kevin's enhancements made him the epitome of a what a MANTIS and maybe his aging is 'frozen' because of his Honkai Beast. Griseo is different because she was only turned to a Mantis by Mobius to save her life. We don't know if Mobius performed further enhancements but I am more inclined to believe not because of how everyone is fiercely protective of her and adored her. Also, I saw Chibi Prometheus beside Asmongold there.
Wouldn't the people from Phosphorus being from Earth/Ark contradict Sa's goal to resurrect the Venusians tho? Seems kinda weird. I guess she may have added in Venusian DNA to that of the ARK, which would make Phosphorus people Human/Venusian hybrids?
Sa already did resurect old Venusian people in the past and the result is Venusian's Heart full of malice so Sa Destroy them and replaced them without soul of Venusian
@@theunknowman12 man is the Moth one of the few groups in Honkai who had a lack of exposure after all of them were revealed they died to that crappy project stigma
@@saddany3254 Considering the quality of the last chapters i wouldn't be so surprised about that lol Btw i know about SA, just didn't recognised her from her home-planet name, just call her SA
I'm in the camp of it less being Kosma's actual preference and more of a miscommunication between an angsty introvert fumbling on words, and a child misunderstanding because child.
I have a very simple logical biological explanation. Mantis not aging. Right? But what is aging? Aging, when your cells die faster than they reproduce. Children body cells grow far more large numbers compaired to their deaths, so a human body can fully develop. This process turn when people became young adults ready to reproduction. After that start the real "aging". Now all Mantis are young adults basicly, in the biological age when they ready to reproduction. Exept Griseo. If you think about it, it's logical, that while Mantis state stop aging by make enough cell to balance the cell growth and death, in Griseo case, she not biologically developed to reproduction so she not reached young adults, that mean, her body not aging naturally, when she reach the young adult state, she stop like Hua. And as we know, she were deep freezed most of the time, so when she returned, she still not grown much. The Fu Hua can't age alone is also not realy confirmed. Well, Kevin didn't aged, Su didn't aged, the rest of the Mantis died before we could know their aging. And Mobius aged backward.😅 The points when Kevin and Hua talk about Griseo growth didn't realy prove anything about the other Mantis, as we know that Griseo the exeption who provenly grown. So it can easly explained in my theory too. Think about it, a Mantis designed to fight Honkai, a young adult is the most fit to combat. So stopping aging is extend it's combat power. Meanwhile if a child or heck, an infant became Mantis, it's body need to grow into a biological age where it's more fit to fight. It make sense. It also advantage, if they can reproduce in case to extend their genes for the future (Kaslana bloodline I know Dr Mei cheated there, but she can't cheat for every Mantis) so a child who not ready for that is a disadvantage there too. But if the child grown into a young adult, problem solved.
People seemed to forget that Kevin and Fu hua aged as well. Kevin was younger as he was depicted on one of Elysia's memories(His youngest self). When we saw him in chapter where he escapes sea of quantum, his age do show even in his voice. Fu hua did age a lot. She was a teenager when she was mantis. Now she is mostly adult. People underastimate how much woman can change between her teenage and adult life. Though some mostly stay same which is a case for Fu hua because she only got taller. Now everybody should admit that "Griseo aged" conversation is totally based around her assets. You know what I mean. Maybe when she becomes even older, she will look like Aponia considering how much "growth" she shows.
Prime example: APHO Bronya. Auxilliary example: Luna. Almost as if people still haven't learned Hoyo likes to give their characters massive racks for absolutely no reason (or even despite reason) besides the obvious *cough*horni*cough*.
5:29 Fuxi and Nuwa being "normal humans" makes no sense to me. They don't age either. They still lived for a long time up until their death at the hands of Chiyou. And they literally have snake bits along their arms which is hidden under their long sleeves. So they're clearly not "normal humans", but the game constantly tries to drill in the point that they are MANTIS either. So what on Earth are they?
@@pakboris2268 If they're "modified humans", then they're not "normal humans" as the text is trying to say they are. There has never been any reference to anything between a "normal human" or a "MANTIS" You're either one or the other in the Previous Era. I just think HoYoverse screwed up. Like how they failed to properly convey how MANTIS powers work, they failed to convey what exactly Fuxi and Nuwa are. They gave their lives to stop Chiyou. That's not something an ordinary human could have done.
I still think that mohoyo retconned it bc it was an inconvenient rule, they wanted to show griseo's growth but without body changes can be delusional, or they will want to show us new characters with honkai beasts genes or similar life forms in the future so they discarded that rule making griseo (and luna) aging. After all its not the first time that mihoyo retconned something, one is the story of prime kiana told in the web event during kolosten arc, the story differ from the manga
Haha good to see you again Homu, hope you back pain is better oh and happy new year, well as you said, maybe they have a problem with characters aging up because they didnt pay atention or dont like these type of situations, but while I was playing I was specting someting like what happened as in some dialogs in ER some flamechasers even said that real Griseo should look like Blanca, and the only cases where a character stops aging are special cases like Theresa being a clone and Mantises with regenerative powers like Garuda, but thats me and Hoyoverse only used crumbles to explain it

I suppose that they age, maybe slower. A trick is that their DNA doesn`t shorten like most living creatures. That would mean that after reaching a peak, they just won`t olden
14:19 little prometeus looking at that bald man lmao
7:25 I'm not cleared fully the event, but it feels like that was't solar system.
This event was stated to be at the edge of our Solar System.
@@HomuLabs maybe, I'm not really good at reading this amount of english text. But it's strange, my astronomy knowledge say me that what can be truth thith very low probability: like 3 planets on the edge of solar system doesn't feat with theory of evolution of stars and planetary systems.
14:35 is wrong from that one unfortunate conversation in er where they joke abt kosma liking girls under 9 we can assume griseo is >9. So even if she grew ~5 years she would’ve been somewhere around 14 and definitely not an adult.
Griseo says under 10 and then corrects herself to under 12.
Grieso is in the Star Rail lore? -> 6:13
I always enjoy your videos! They always help clarify things because often times honkai lore can be confusing😅
14:20
Prometheus appears along with Asmongold ( ˙-˙ )
"humans, animals and plants" got me chuckling :)
Maybe the change is visible because she wasn't an adult at the time of Mantis surgery. Because others already reached their normal heights and all, we cannot observe much growth in Kevin, Su and Hua. And Mobius is the entirely different case with reducing in size upon damage instead.
14:20 we first saw kelvin in the sea of quanta. And i dont know how time works down there. Are we assuming that all the teriteri variants undergo the mantis operation somehow?
Not really. But we know for sure that Luna did from her original event.
@HomuLabs Oh okay. I am assuming because Sa is a variant of Su, she would have some sort power related to bodhi.
@@KifuneRaikawasnt it stated in the last Chapter that Vita took the Eyes of Bodhi from Sa
14:18 the hidden prometheus
I had always assumed that unless it's a special case(Fua and Mobius example), MANTIS's will just remain in same physical body. So in the case of Griseo, her body just aged slowly until reaching her 20s and then stopped. It also seems logical since the MANTIS program was put in place to more or less target Herrschers(cause Divine Keys seem to be more of a one size fits all tool against the Honkai in general). Knowing this, it's only logical that Fire Moth still want the bodies of the younger MANTIS' to grow for optimisation of their powers
We really missed you
Take good care of yourself my friend ❤
14:20 why does she stares at to me 😨
14:20 poor promnya still a ghost and thank you for the lovely video and please pace yourself when making videos we can wait for lore bombs from you
Homu senpai, how did Kevin sleep in a Cryopod? Can he be frozen?
14:20 found Prometheus!
I think it's just exactly that, she started puberty while being a mantis; She's the only example of this happening, everyone else was already full grown adults. Fu Hua was 17 so she likely didn't have much more growth to go, besides brain development, which is what I think the manga was referring to. It doesn't seem like a retcon because they never explicitly said Mantis don't age, I think it's much more akin to stopping/slowing the degradation through aging rather than stopping the aging completely.
14:20 chibi Prometheus
16:59
OF GAME THEORY !!1! 🗣🗣🔥🔥
I found Prometheus chibi 14:19 :)
Congrats! You are the first to find her! :D
14:20 i see you.
About the finality of the moon arc there is a moment were Fu Hua reveal that she trained with hers powers during almost 5000 years but Kevin did train during almost 50000 years implying that Kevin woke up rigth after their finality event with Su and with the help of Gray Snake and Klein preparing the launch of all project...
Poor Kevin he was not certified for research 😅 or maybe?🤔
Anyway the fact that we forgot that Theresa possed both Vishnu and Kevin's genes can make you wonder how much of a Icy Queen she can really become... and I will not talk about Kiana's case.
I theorize that the sleeping pods don't just allow a being to sleep inside and preserve their physical condition, but it may also be programmed to enhance their physical state toward its ideal -- electrical stimuli for muscular growth, and an ideal mixture of nutrients for other physical growth and maintenance where needed.
Griseo is a special case among the MANTISes because she got her surgery as a measure to save her life (therefore the Honkai Beast genes that Mobius gave her might have been directed toward longevity or preservation), but more importantly in this case, she was not physically at full maturity when she went into sleep. If one of the things the ARK pods was designed to do was to train and prepare any MANTISes aboard for possible battle against the Honkai, and particularly against Herrschers, then it seems reasonable to me that it would also be programmed to bring the MANTISes into their ideal condition.
Griseo would, one would assume, be a more capable warrior as an adult than as a child, so on top of simulated training, the pod might stimulate physical changes a bit at a time until Griseo had an adult body, so she could be stronger and faster while fighting. But with a MANTIS at full physical maturity, it would be focused on preserving the peak physical condition possible -- so someone like Kevin or Su wouldn't age while sleeping.
One thing I keep on returning to is the theory that Teyvat in _Genshin_ is another reality's Project ARK, with a focus on training warriors to fight Herrschers, just like the example above -- except instead of Stigmata, the warriors of Teyvat use Visions and other similar means. Note that there is a mechanic for Ascending your account, characters, and the world, and when you do, rewards improve, but the monsters also become higher level. The test to do this is guarded by Aleph, an elemental being that can only be defeated using elemental power. This is likely to ensure no ordinary person makes the world more dangerous than they can handle. Of course, we won't know more about this until Mihoyo reveals it, and the whole thing with the Descenders, particularly with Celestia not being native to Teyvat (instead of being its administrators) more than 'kind of' demolishes this whole theory. But I still think it's a fun one to work with.
I did think a crossover event in the Hoyoverse games to confront the Herrscher of the End would have been cool. This sort of thing is still possible within the framework of _HSR_ against Nanook, but with _HI3_ Part 1 over, it seems unlikely to happen in _HI3_ . But then, _GGZ_ has pitted its heroes against incredible odds, and they had no help from across the Honkaiverse.
4:04 humans animals and plants😂
honestly why did you say grandma Griseo, now I can't get the abbreviation GG out of my head XD
Oh my finally saw this video, a lot of people need to watch this.
I swear, EVERY TIME someone grows up in Honkai 3rd, the players go absolutely crazy (except for Lyle, they don't care about Lyle).
But Silverwing Bronya was a drama.

14:20 prometheus!!
Maybe the honkai energy in honkai beasts in humans affects the cells in them, just like 1 billion years ago when Mars was destroyed from honkai and honkai survived until this era. It could be that when the honkai energy disappears then the world will be peaceful, just as in the body of MANTIS if the honkai energy disappears from their body then they will die
Yeah, but keep in mind. She travels all around the universe moving faster than light travel which causes time dilation for example back on earth it’s been 50,000 years but on the spaceship it’s probably been a couple years or longer. Which is probably why she got older. That there could be other factors.
Griseo might be the Primordial one in Genshin impact(Teyvat) and left earth 50,000 years ago, and sent arks to different planets, creating clones of humans back on earth.
Which would include, Star Rail planets, and the rest of the universe like Yoyoverse games and it would explain why most of the characters look alike since most of them are Clones or their ancestors anyway. but this is speculation.
Here's a theory hoyoverse needed money so they made her adult
grandma griseo ? no no no
MOMMY griseo... yes yes yes!!!
I will Watch this when I finnaly played the new ark XD
While Nuwa and Fuxi weren't full-power Mantis... handpicked assistants of Mobius getting some of that package from lesser Honkai Beasts wouldn't be surprising at all. Or any other enhancement Mobius did.
I think the main reason people believed mantis did not age was due to the obvious fact that the ONLY MANTIS WE KNEW FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE GAME BEFORE ELYSIAN REALM CHANGED SO MUCH LORE WERE, KEVIN, SU, AND FU HUA WHO ALL DID NOT AGE. So I don't blame people for following the train of thought that Griseo growing up is a weird thing that wasn't properly explained even with the ONLY hint that they did was Mobius aging up after regressing her age by having Kalpas kill her a few times (which was mentioned so fast it's easy for people to forget that was even mentioned and felt like a throw away line not proof they can age).
so it's hard for people who followed the game for a few years already to just forget all the assumed knowledge we had about Mantis and the flamechasers with the 'hidden' reveal that they do age.
I think why gríseo’s physical appearance changed was since she turned into a MANTIS at the age of 12 implying she would have started to go through puberty or have already hit meaning her body was still developing/maturing while turning into a MANTIS, and this also kind of explains why the other MANTISES’ physical appearance don’t change
So, it's not "Griseo is the only one who grow up" but rather "Griseo is the only one who still in growing period" ?
Though you're right, I feel its unfair to blame HoYoverse staff for not explain about every Flamechaser/Mantis growth.
They're just science fiction after all. You shouldn't expecting everything does have an explanation.
Also Coralie also was mention to having her growth stop at some point. Making her probably older than Bronya, Mei and Kiana.
ps: this is same like when people talk about Time travel fiction. Questioning how Time travel machine been create but dare to claim they understand theory on how past affecting the future.
Short answer: she ate her veggies and drank lots of milk, cause she's a good child❤
Dude just take a look at her mother, Blanca. Griseo had a good heritage long before she "eat all those cabbage". While in mental health... Idk how person can become "adult" without proper social interactions (I can't count those in her Ark dreams as "proper interactions"). Like I prefer to think she's still kind of a teenager even with that sinful grown woman's body that almost copied her mother's.
Wait so each flame chaser have a diffrent ark spaceship?
You really add asmon picture when mentioned bald...
I couldn't help myself. The joke was right there in front of me to grab it!
For my part, I have merely a vague assumption that Griseo has been aged well without being outdated.
For illustration, I use Nahida and Paimon in their "shrunk" body shape from Genshin Impact as an example - the two sacrificed their powers to avert a looming disaster. However, this sacrifice took its toll and as a result, we can clearly see Nahida and Paimon as we know them.
In Griseo's case, I have the theory that she could be a reverse process - she got strength or mantis power and accordingly a growth boost for her body.
I suspect that Mantis grow to full maturity (25ish) then stop aging/slow down aging dramatically. If I had to explain why maybe the Honkai genes let them grow into a "peak" state for the purpose of wielding Honkai energy better. Fu Hua is more unique in this regard due to her specific Honkai beast locking her into her teenage years, hence the Swara. Mobius being the other example you pointed out as she can die, regressing her age, then grow back up.
My theori is that mantises only develop. When we born, our body grow and devolop untill the age of 17-25, depends on the person, where you reach your peak, and then you star to undevelop and "age" due to acumulation of "flaws" in your genetic material that happen in the celular division and wounds and damage in parts of your body that dont regenerate.
My theori is that mantises have way less flaws at their genetic code. This can happen because:
1) their genetic division is slower than normal humans. In normal humans the genetic code cant repair itself because the cells divide way faster, but in some insects, for exemple, where the genetic code divide slower, they repair way more before division.
2) their genetic code doesnt suffer flaws at the division due to the honkai genes having better mitosis process.
And the other point is that mantises are capable to regenerate parts that normaly dont, like tendons.
With this, whenthey reach their "peak" they will not "grow old" and "frail", they will just stay there.
Fu Hua would be an exeption, since she hadnt reached her peak, but this can be just Garuda. What do you think?
I can speculate she woke up multiple times during some events but most of times she was in cryogen sleep or something with entire body freeze. At least i can believe in it.
HOMULABS uploaded?? Blessed are we...
prometheus at 14:20
Kevin is an oddity among MANTIS because he actually allowed Mobius to perform further enhancements on him. I think Su's Honkai beast is also similar to Fu Hua because it has either a crane or a peacock. Kevin's enhancements made him the epitome of a what a MANTIS and maybe his aging is 'frozen' because of his Honkai Beast.
Griseo is different because she was only turned to a Mantis by Mobius to save her life. We don't know if Mobius performed further enhancements but I am more inclined to believe not because of how everyone is fiercely protective of her and adored her. Also, I saw Chibi Prometheus beside Asmongold there.
Can u make video about the recent story recap
but we have grown up teriri... that imposible
That's more like teen teri
Gireseo got knocked out by sa so that was the reason she slept until fu hua woke her up
Wouldn't the people from Phosphorus being from Earth/Ark contradict Sa's goal to resurrect the Venusians tho? Seems kinda weird.
I guess she may have added in Venusian DNA to that of the ARK, which would make Phosphorus people Human/Venusian hybrids?
Sa already did resurect old Venusian people in the past and the result is Venusian's Heart full of malice so Sa Destroy them and replaced them without soul of Venusian
Espera, Lucca é cânon? Agora eu quero ela como personagem jogavel.
Didnt one of the main chapters said that krvin and other mantises dont age?
Depend on how we use "age" here do we meant "age" as in "anti-aging treatment" or just don't age in general

very nice video
so, in other words: mantis can age, Hua can’t cause Fu Hua’s mantis is garuda. This fits what i thought.
I really missed why Fuxi and Nuwa are alive in this era😅
Now she is legal 😏
im on kosma's side with this on. i prefer her previous form.
@@avoidable69 well u cant know his preference, boi died a long time ago and im pretty sure he would prefer the adult one too
I'm in the camp of it less being Kosma's actual preference and more of a miscommunication between an angsty introvert fumbling on words, and a child misunderstanding because child.
I have a very simple logical biological explanation.
Mantis not aging. Right? But what is aging? Aging, when your cells die faster than they reproduce.
Children body cells grow far more large numbers compaired to their deaths, so a human body can fully develop. This process turn when people became young adults ready to reproduction. After that start the real "aging".
Now all Mantis are young adults basicly, in the biological age when they ready to reproduction. Exept Griseo.
If you think about it, it's logical, that while Mantis state stop aging by make enough cell to balance the cell growth and death, in Griseo case, she not biologically developed to reproduction so she not reached young adults, that mean, her body not aging naturally, when she reach the young adult state, she stop like Hua.
And as we know, she were deep freezed most of the time, so when she returned, she still not grown much.
The Fu Hua can't age alone is also not realy confirmed. Well, Kevin didn't aged, Su didn't aged, the rest of the Mantis died before we could know their aging. And Mobius aged backward.😅
The points when Kevin and Hua talk about Griseo growth didn't realy prove anything about the other Mantis, as we know that Griseo the exeption who provenly grown. So it can easly explained in my theory too.
Think about it, a Mantis designed to fight Honkai, a young adult is the most fit to combat. So stopping aging is extend it's combat power. Meanwhile if a child or heck, an infant became Mantis, it's body need to grow into a biological age where it's more fit to fight. It make sense. It also advantage, if they can reproduce in case to extend their genes for the future (Kaslana bloodline I know Dr Mei cheated there, but she can't cheat for every Mantis) so a child who not ready for that is a disadvantage there too. But if the child grown into a young adult, problem solved.
Theresa doesn't age as well tho.
People seemed to forget that Kevin and Fu hua aged as well.
Kevin was younger as he was depicted on one of Elysia's memories(His youngest self). When we saw him in chapter where he escapes sea of quantum, his age do show even in his voice.
Fu hua did age a lot. She was a teenager when she was mantis. Now she is mostly adult. People underastimate how much woman can change between her teenage and adult life. Though some mostly stay same which is a case for Fu hua because she only got taller.
Now everybody should admit that "Griseo aged" conversation is totally based around her assets. You know what I mean. Maybe when she becomes even older, she will look like Aponia considering how much "growth" she shows.
Fu hua is still physically a teenager

They don't age either. They still lived for a long time up until their death at the hands of Chiyou. And they literally have snake bits along their arms which is hidden under their long sleeves.
So they're clearly not "normal humans", but the game constantly tries to drill in the point that they are MANTIS either. So what on Earth are they?
I think they are maybe some modified human
@@pakboris2268 If they're "modified humans", then they're not "normal humans" as the text is trying to say they are. There has never been any reference to anything between a "normal human" or a "MANTIS" You're either one or the other in the Previous Era.
I just think HoYoverse screwed up. Like how they failed to properly convey how MANTIS powers work, they failed to convey what exactly Fuxi and Nuwa are. They gave their lives to stop Chiyou. That's not something an ordinary human could have done.
@@arcflamearcanum7579 I think ER mentiones modified human
Who cares for "how"?! What matters is that she's totally legal now!
@Sth.358 That's a new one
Griseo grew up because adult Bronya sells well. So Hoyoverse conclude adult Griseo= profits
I still think that mohoyo retconned it bc it was an inconvenient rule, they wanted to show griseo's growth but without body changes can be delusional, or they will want to show us new characters with honkai beasts genes or similar life forms in the future so they discarded that rule making griseo (and luna) aging.
After all its not the first time that mihoyo retconned something, one is the story of prime kiana told in the web event during kolosten arc, the story differ from the manga
they grow up so... fast? 🥲
It only took 50,000 years, but she's all grown up! 😂
Haha good to see you again Homu, hope you back pain is better oh and happy new year, well as you said, maybe they have a problem with characters aging up because they didnt pay atention or dont like these type of situations, but while I was playing I was specting someting like what happened as in some dialogs in ER some flamechasers even said that real Griseo should look like Blanca, and the only cases where a character stops aging are special cases like Theresa being a clone and Mantises with regenerative powers like Garuda, but thats me and Hoyoverse only used crumbles to explain it
