BS tried to peek into Acherons mind/memories. A contemporary equivalent would be scrolling through someone’s photos on their phone. BS thought she was in for some juicy secrets or blackmail. But like ppls phones, she saw something she couldn’t unsee and couldn’t handle
"This is our first engagement." proceeds to see horrific nightmares almost getting devoured by the thing inside Acheron. "This is our final engagement." Black Swan be like "I was gonna, but nope never again" terrified. xD
Let's just say, "Black Swan gazed into the Abyss, and the Abyss stared back" But I'd say the Abyss did something more than stare back.... Literally hunting into ripping and tearing, like a predator feasting lavishly on its prey. I hope you noticed during the start of that... Nightmare... At the back while Acheron and Black Swan are "dancing", a representation is shown of a Serpent and a Swan, coiling around biting it's head for the kill, as for the outcome its shown as a featherless and some parts skeletal Swan.
@@jeremywinstOh she knew alright, did you notice how she became a more aggressive dancer as soon as Black Swan peek into her memories? Acheron might be nihilist, but not dumb. She absolutely knew.
People got so distracted by yuri and how scary Acheron is that they didn't realize we've got a huge lore drop, and it's basically confirmed by this trailer that Acheron is the Emanator of IX.
Black Swan wanted to see Acheron's memories and find answers, but what she didn't expect is that she met not Acheron but that white and red Acheron. You can see this the moment she looks into her head, in Duke Inferno's Monocle Acheron has red eyes and white hair. So whats on the outside we see the calm goofy Acheron who doesn't know direction, but on the inside is some kind of a monster that even a Guardien of Recollect fears and dare not to look into anymore. Acheron not remembering things and saying "oh those guys" probably suggests that she doesn't remember what she did while in her red and white form and just knows that "yeah I did that probably". You can also see that Acheron didn't even care about Black Swan throughout the whole dance, and even after all that terror, she still didn't care. From the game Acheron only said that "some lady in veil invited me to a dance". Which I think is strange because how can a person not care about someone looking into their memories, even after Black Swan got DEVOURED by Acheron, she only said "Who are those guys??". But that answer was only a respond to Black Swans question "What did you do?", So what I think is that even though Black Swan was trying to escape and survive White Acheron, Blue Acheron was just dancing and not caring about anything. She probably even thought "Why is this lady so sweaty and out of breath, was the dance that hard?"
Black Swan is also not even a person. She's more of a memetic entity than an a physical being. Looking into the Nihility makes you lose yourself and lose the meaning of your existence. Essentially, if Black Swan were to look at the actual IX, she would be erased.
i like how it slowly went from the hunter becomes the hunted, a prey dancing on its predator's hand, pure natural predation, and then finished with total annihilation. Black Swan should've just asked her for casual dance instead of peeking in.
Fun thing to note. At the end of the dance, Black Swan has gone completely limp. Meaning that, even though she survived, and seemingly got away from Acheron's mind, the only reason that she hasn't collapsed is because Acheron STILL has a grip on her. So even though Black Swan gave absolutely everything that she had, just to get away from Acheron and survive, she actually failed. Since Acheron still hunted her down and caught her, even out of the mind scape. Which only makes Black Swan's terror at the end even more valid, since a character that was introduced to seem almost untouchable, literally couldn't even get away from Acheron, without Acheron just letting her.
At about the 3 minute mark I'm convinced that Numi had to mute her mic and wipe the drool off her chin. Probably a change of garment at around 5 minutes...
Everyone needs to read the lore in the description for the trailer, which is also found on the link in game in the news banner for the trailer. Some interesting stuff…
Black Swan went from "🙂↕️🙂↔️😏" to bearing witness to cosmic horror beyond all imagination. All from an amnesia ridden gender bent cloud sephiroth fusion dance.
If theories are correct, Acheron is the emanator of Nihility, but those who have seen Nihility are called Self-Annihilators. They lose meaning of existence, which is why they seem emotionless. However, they are also damaged. Some have skin turn into something like rotten wood, others become numb and can't feel pain or pleasure. And Acheron? She loses her memories. Black swan can't look into Acheron's memories, because they are litterally too damaged, or just non existant. Black Swan is also a memokeeper, her physical form is just what she makes you see her as. Those who just gaze at IX lose themselves, what do you think happens to someone who isn't even a physical entity? Black Swan would be erased if she looked into the actual Nihility Aeon, but since it's only Acheron, an eminator, she was spared
My friend tried getting me to play HSR for months with no luck. She showed me this and I immediately downloaded the game. This is the third time lesbians dancing has gotten me into a fandom
My girl literally off screened what we thought was going to be a major antagonist and forgot about it like she left her wallet at home...AND she's a playable character? I'm worried about who our next antagonist ACTUALLY is going to be
2:22 this is littery Numi and Neuro-sama, Numi take the lead at first, then Neuro comeback sturdy then leading Numi to the end of the dance (Numi now can act as bottom as she want!! 🤣) 4:54 - 5:02 This is my favourite moment, just ONLY watching this and nothing else, what we got left are: 1. Acheron, well... doing exercise with BS through the night (u know what I mean) because jealousy. When she finish it, Acheron ask Bs "Who is the Annihilation Gang that you talk about lately?" 2. Damn, it is too much "Cold/Emotionless/Queenly Top + Seductive/Flirtatious/Docile Bottom" aura here!!!
HOLY SHIT HOYO KILLED IT WITH THIS ANIMATION! I'm not really into shipping characters in HSR but all the interactions in 2.0 I always felt something between them
Considering in the game we are told by Acheron that some "woman in a veil" invited her to dance... and how Black Swan left us under her protection to talk to the rest of the Nameless about what had happened, I guess it's safe to say that Black Swan is afraid of Acheron's power and what lies underneath rather than fearing Acheron herself. In fact, I'd suspect she trusts her enough to keep us safe during that period so...
They set up this huge threat of the Annihilation Gang with multiple trailers and everything. Only to have a character defeat them so effortlessly that she barely remembers their existence at all. I think we can't even fathom Acheron's strength.
The 2:09 interesting detail is Swan "flapping" her arms. Haha, she really thought she was hot sh!t until she had her feathers not plucked, but stripped bare to the bone.
They are doing the Tango! One of the most fascinating of all dances, the tango is a sensual ballroom dance that originated in Buenos Aires, Argentina in the early twentieth century. The tango dance is usually performed by a man and a woman, expressing an element of romance in their synchronized movements.

She did turn Duke Inferno into a relic set hahaha but her relic set comes from her friend, the golden diver suit that for some reason is covered by Acheron's cursed flowers
when i tell you i was hitting my table and thigh over this short... I WAS LOSING MY SHIT TRYING TO BE QUIET CAUSE ITS MIDNIGHT. THE MUSIC IN THE SECOND HALF WENT SO HARD TOO. 😭 bro i can always count on numi and mina to lose their shit over yuri 😭
Well....that got fucking eerie, i really do wonder if she actually knew the mc before their memory wipe or if her memory is just ass and mixes people up
Black Swan: try to look in Acheron’s memories only to be torned apart from everyside, unable to escape the horror she is witnessing and ending up traumatised. The community: umm... ship.

The best thing about her saying "This is our last engagement" is that SHE LIED. She still accepts invitations to dance from Acheron.

She was not.

She didn’t?
4:00 when Numi said "baebia!khhahi!sarberrkharrb!!!” I really felt that 😩
when they made the annihilation gang just to make a statement on how strong she is.💀💀💀
ACTUALLY SO FUNNY WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT LMAOOOO ALL THAT JUST FOR HER TO WHOMEGALUL THEM 😭😭😭

LMFAO
HELP IM DYING LOLLLLLLLLL
LMAO-
A black swan being pluck alive, and the violin turn into a swan screams
For Black Swan’s case it was “Curiousity killed the cat,” but for us it’s “But satisfaction brought it back.” And trust me I am very satisfied.
People got so distracted by yuri and how scary Acheron is that they didn't realize we've got a huge lore drop, and it's basically confirmed by this trailer that Acheron is the Emanator of IX.
Also, that it's now a doubt if Acheron is an actual Galaxy Ranger. (Hence the surprise drip of Boothill, right?)
And confirmation of Acheron being the killer of Duke
@@ironheadedDoF Yes, they will probably cook something up with him in the story.
Unironically lots of lore related stuff dropped here that no one wants to talk abt cuz shipping wars lmao.
I thought she's an Emanator of Terminus
Now, this is worth dying for. What a masterpiece. Kudos to the illustrators, animators, colourists, musicians and seiyuus involved.
I agree. An incredibly done animation
@@numiplusYes, verily much so! 👍
This was the moment that Black Swan knew that Acheron was the Dominant one.

what is so funny is that Acheron seemed like she had 0 idea BS was snooping, and inducing untold eldritch mental trauma onto her
@@marianagomez165it’s actually possible she had some idea as everytime black swan does her energy thing acheron moves rapidly to cut it off.
4:11 The Serpent is attacking The swan
Swan is now the known to be bottom to this relationship, but will still tease the top acting like the top
4:01 how poetic, truly relatable
4:00 ME FRFR WATCHING THIS ANIMATION
I need this soundbite 😂😂😂
You mean, my new notification sound?
Black Swan with all the confidence thinking she’s the Dom, not realizing Acheron is a switch, and when she switches…
Imagine if Acheron says "So..do you want another dance?" when she stared Black Swan in the face 😂
THIS IS WHAT WE ALL WANTED BUT NEVER DESERVED THANK YOU NUMI FOR THIS FKING MASTERPIECE
Nah, It went from a flirty dance to a traumatizing dance, Acheron is just as insane as how Mina went feral 😂 definitely Sesbian Lex
Segs?!
At about the 3 minute mark I'm convinced that Numi had to mute her mic and wipe the drool off her chin. Probably a change of garment at around 5 minutes...
This art the style and aesthetic how the red and gray just matched so perfectly this was the most beautiful trailer ever made
You can see Numi’s brain rainbow screening as the video progresses
3:58 LMAO WHAT xD
4:00 I CAN'T BREATHE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The best part about her saying “this is our last engagement” is that is wasn’t even true.she still accepts invitations from Acheron 🤭
I did think Acheron was going to eat black swan but not like that!
LMFAO
As Deadpool once said: "I'm gonna touch myself tonight".
Numi honest reaction 😮
And the funny thing is, Acheron probably didn't know about what happened in her memory and just thought Black Swan is a cool girl
GOD I LOVE WOMAN SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU NUMI FOR YOUR REACTION AND HONKAI FOR THIS GOD TIER ANIMATION HOLYYYYY
