@@K1ngBard I'd be careful. There are heavy spoilers in one of the animated shorts! You already pieced together some of the spoilers, but that'll just hand the story on a plate.
6:12 if you watch carefully you can see the outside building is already burning meaning While Kafka is playing trial the rebellion is on going 😂 you can see that she is controlling the japella brotherhood with her threads she is trolling in this trailer
"The Embers of Glamoth" happens much earlier in the history of Star Rail. The central character of that story is seen in "The Jepella Rebellion" telling Kafka to stop playing with her food. The girl we know as Firefly was picked up by Kafka, joining the Stellaron Hunters
the last one was an animated short, not a myriad celestia trailer. Its Firefly's animated short, she's a big spoiler and you'll see why in the story later on. Imo it sucks firefly is a big spoiler to new players or players that are behind in the story.
That is strange they added that to their playlist, whoopsie haha It sucks that she is a big spoiler :( the one good thing right now is that I don't know the story behind her or Penacony as a whole so i can't piece together anything. I am curious when it will hit me where I am like "Oh okay now I understand"
I was worried that the last one would be too spoiler for you but you are right, you don't have enough context yet. And by the time you get there enough will have transpired for you to perhaps forget it
Tbh, they kind of spoiled her in the 2.0 version trailer (well heavily hinted at anyway). The 2.0 main quest also makes it pretty obvious. Regardless, the same thing basically happened with Dan back in 1.3. Some things are hard to avoid spoiling.
@@Doflaminguard it's not just that she's created life, she understands it so fully that she is able to predict the outcome of any experiment she does with 100% certainty. She knows exactly why and how everything happens. Aeons are the only thing she doesn't understand.
The 12 Sovereigns symbolize the 12 Herrschers from another game Hoyo has made called "Honkai Impact 3rd". These beings are capable of bending physical laws and are usually hostile towards humanity. In this universe, they portrayed them as the 12 sovereigns that were slain and forged as weapons known as the 12 sentinels, whereas in HI3 they possess a "core" that allows them to control a certain aspect of reality. (i.e. Thunder controls lightning & thunder, Sky (Void) controls space, etc.). In the end, they forged the 12 into 2 bearers. The first was Origin and the second was End (Finality). Finality was the Final Herrscher to descend unto Earth (in HI3) and is considered a world-ending threat. Until the main protagonist Kiana Kaslana overcame all obstacles and faced her own destiny and became one with Finality ending the war vs the Honkai threat (for now)
The Herrschers and Kami are comparable, and the Divine Keys to the Sentinels, although there were many more Divine Keys made. There were also thirteen Herrschers and thirteen Flame-Chasers instead of just twelve.
What you thought were more bugs in the sky in the animated short at the end... were indeed more bugs 😂 It was only debris after the planet got destroyed. Also, when you go back to the Jepella Rebellion trailer, you can see Firefly in her armour at the end ;)
Oh my gosh they were more bugs!!!! Holy cow that is insane!!! There were so many of them too especially after they nuked the whole world so now I get why she had to destroy that planet. I will have to go back and watch that! I wonder if we are going to be able to use her armor in game, I would imagine right.
@@K1ngBard It gets crazier. Glamoth was an empire spanning several planets and they essentially all got wiped out by the swarm (the Swarm Disaster in the simulated universe will give you more insight about the danger of the Propagation and its Swarm as well) And as a matter of fact, Firefly is the new character releasing in tomorrow's new patch! That's why she got such a big marketing push now with the Myriad Celestia and this animated short :D
There's an official playlist for all their animations on Star Rail's official channel but just a heads up 'Ichor of Two Dragons' is a bit of a spoiler about Dan Heng!
57:30 oh, no, those were more bugs. Millions more. What you just saw was the Swarm Disaster. Yeah, with mild spoilers, it did not end well for anyone involved. As you just saw what happened to Glamoth.
🤮🤮 I went from thinking they were bugs to nah that is too many after that nuke so it must be rubble…and now you’re telling me it really was more! That is wild oh my gosh. 😱 That is absolutely terrifying.
@@K1ngBard And that's just the amount that was in Glammoth, there were billions more all over the Galaxy that time. Which is why several Aeons ganged up to kill Tazzyronth (the Aeon responsible for the bugs, The Propagation)
A little fact here, when you saw the everflame mansion clip, Constance, who says ‘ Caterina, a little pessimism might be wise’ or is the one with demon like tail and the hat, is ganyu’s voice actor in Genshin impact, loved your reaction❤ and I am glad you’re gradually stepping into the world of Honkai Impact : Star Rail and I can’t wait for the more videos to release soon ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Oh wow that is interesting!!!! That is so cool that is Ganyu's voice actor. I am really happy that you liked my reactions and I am really hooked into Star Rail now for sure. :)
Glad to see you enjoy these trailers! I would also like to see you react to the animated shorts but I think it's best to watch those when you're done with all the main quests to avoid spoilers.
Dan Heng was shown chained up at the end of the Dragon Myriad Celestia because his past incarnation committed an "Unpardonable Sin" (Capital letters and all). So when he reincarnated into his current self, he spent his early life imprisoned, and then eventually banished from the Xianzhou Luofu. Somewhere along his aimless wandering across space, he met with the Astral Express, and the rest is history.
I really love the Morse code beeping 2:46 in nous section in the first trailer 😂 I don't even remember the message just the beeping have a great tune This is owlbert the main mascot host of star rail live stream he is the one announcing the new patch one of the best English voice actor 😍 She wants to become an aeon Aka a god 😂
Oh that is really cool they did morse code for a sneaking little message like that. Haha Owlbert is an awesome name! I can't wait to meet him lol Ohhhh okay! Well that does put her in a different light than I thought lol
28:58 “Become an Aeon” is what Ruan Mei said. It’s extremely faint but yeah, her goal is scary. You’ll learn more about her and her research in the Trailblaze Continuance “Crown of Mundane and Divine” (Interlude Chapters like Genshin) 29:23 Penacony is something I can’t describe with pure words… it exceeded everything I thought would happen. Plot Twists, Confusion, Tears, everything was there! But you still have a bit to go, take your time with the story! No need to rush! 31:23 They aren’t really the “Fatui Harbingers” of Star Rail, at least, not yet. Not a lot are shown about them except for Duke Inferno in the story currently. They’ll probably be more of a recurring Antagonist group like the Stellaron Hunters, though not sure. 32:46 Don’t Be Scared… Nothing Bad Is Going To Happen, I Promise :) Since you slowly reaching the finale of Belobog, there’s one more thing! Starting from Version 2.3 and onwards, Star Rail will give you a character (kinda) upon completing Belobog in the event screen. The character isn’t really a spoiler because you don’t have any context for them, but yeah… just a warning/hint. Amazing Reaction as always! ❤
Uh oh really!!!!! I am really going to have even more trust issues after playing too huh lol She seems so nice too haha Yeah exactly, no rushing but I am so excited to get there. The story there just seems phenomenal! Oh oh okay! So they are the big baddies then. They do look pretty awesome and certainly give that powerful vibes I feel like that promise has some fingers crossed behind the back haha I am excited to continue the story and I am going to try and upload more than once a week. I am curious on who this character is! I am really happy that you enjoyed the video!
@@K1ngBard Hehehe, this character currently works the best with Firefly, almost buffing her to do triple the damage that she usually does. Let’s just say, you see them a lot, including trailers. I won’t say more since the Update is in less than 24 hours and I like to keep some surprises for you to explore. You’ll probably see them immediately upon opening the event screen and this so-called “event” is permanent, so you’ll guaranteed to obtain them after finishing Belobog!
What better way to wait for the maintenance to end than to watch KB There's so much to explain to you about all these trailers, can't wait for you to experience it all You're also really close to catching up with Genshin So you'll be able to find immerse yourself into Star Rail And now you know why I love this game so much
Ayy let’s go!!!! How is the update treating you so far? I can’t wait to experience it too 🤩 It seems like I am in for a ride haha I can’t believe I’m almost done with Fontaine already, I feel like I just started it back up haha. And now I 100% know why you love this game lol.
I don't think the annihilation gang is the fatui counterpart of HSR, it's the stellaron hunters that are more like the fatui. but there are many factions anyway like the annahilation gang and IPC etc...
There are several characters that are alternate-reality versions of each other, spanning across multiple Hoyo games. For example there is a Raiden Mei in Honkai 3rd, Raiden Shogun (Ei) in Genshin, and Acheron in Star Rail. Likewise Bronya/Bronie/Starwolf variants (might be the Tsaritsa in Genshin), Himeko is in Honkai 3rd and Star Rail and semi confirmed to be Natlan Archon in Genshin, Seele variants. And the MC of Honkai Kiana has variations as the Unknown god in Genshin. In some cases they keep the same VA's across games, but not always in all languages.
You should check out the animated shorts. The last video you watched was an animated short and not myriad Celestia trailer. All of those animated shorts are animated like that and anazing
Oh dang okay!!! I will for sure check the other animations out because that animation I saw was phenomenal so I can only guess the other ones will be just as good.
Whoops. I was trying to convince you in the last couple of videos not to watch the last two videos, but you probably already recorded and were editing by then :D Pity that I couldn't share that with you sooner, but it is about the journey, not the destination! Around 42nd minute, you ask who the person with the colour changing appearance is. That is Acheron. That video explores her back story a bit. About your questions in the last two videos, do you really want answers to them? Or do you want to leave it to the end of 2.2 when you could possibly revisit those two videos about Firefly. If you want context, I'll provide it. Upto you :) I'm glad you're getting into star rail and seem to be enjoying it. I completely understand why you struggled initially, especially trying to navigate the first couple of times in the Simulated universe. It feels slow. But as you can see, it picks up massively. The last video gives you why I said HSR is more mature than Genshin. While Genshin does deal with a few instances of death, and does get emotional... HSR doesn't mind crossing the gore barrier too. There are bodies blown up into bits there in that video. It can get pretty dark, and also pretty thought provoking.
I definitely will react to their concerts. I love the music in Genshin and HSR so watching their concerts is always an amazing time. Just seeing the talent behind the music is absolutely beautiful.
To me one of the most interesting lines in Ruan Mei's trailer was the admission "I have nothing to lose, and nothing to gain." That dovetails with a similar sentiment alluded to by Herta in her writings, where she describes the various ways somebody might react to catching Nous's gaze. From Herta's biased perspective (yet she is both brutally self-honest and a known Emanator of the Erudition, so likely an expert on the subject), those who see this as the culmination of their work and stop there, as well as those who are inspired to rededicate the rest of their lives to learning and proving the value of their gifts, both fail to enter the Genius Society. That final step requires a different revelation.
Acheron's and Firefly's animations are huge for their backstories, both being older than they appeared, and both having survived the destruction of their worlds. Both continuing onward, despite there being something eating away at them from the inside. And both at least having strong parallels to two of the three main characters from _Honkai Impact 3rd_ , if not being their expies outright.
57:45 to clarify your doubts, you don't have to necessarily have a stellaron to be an interesting individual in the eyes of the stellaron hunters : Elio has a plan and and he will recruit every individual whos destiny alignes with the future he seeks
The last "trailer" that u' saw is actually an animated short. Not a "myriad celestia" one. And you 10000% should watch others animated shorts now. They are simply gorgeous. Oh, and u asked on 42:41 "whos that?". The answer is - Acheron. This trailer basically shows her past and how she became the way she is now.
Oh what the heck really! I wonder why they had it in the myriad playlist haha Now that I have seen that animated short though I really really am excited to watch the other ones! OOOOOOHHHHHH that is Acheron!!! Dang! Oh man am I just excited to experience all of the stories this game has to offer. I am in for a wild ride :)
@@K1ngBard you wont regret it, im telling you. they are SO amazing! AND btw, for some additional context you can check the descriptions under every animated short! and yep, the lore of this game only keeps on getting better. welcome to HSR, ahah! ty for your reactions:) cant wait for the new ones to come😊
Yeah I didn't even really think about potential spoilers but as of right now I don't have any context so I don't fully understand a lot of it. Like I don't know who SAM is but I am sure once I get to Penacony all of this will click to me which is a bit unfortunate.
i dont know how it is called rn, but i dont have time to search it, but you need to see the video about acheron and black swan "dancing" it is so fing good
About Acheron's Myriad Celestia (Kyoden: A cleave across the transient world), it is quite confusing even for people who know the story of Star Rail, it has a lot of parallelisms to Honkai Impact 3d, but the gist of it is Acheron's homeworld - Izumo and another planet close by - Takamagahara coexisted orbiting a "Black Sun", and they both were beautiful places full of life. Takamagahara, in which beings called "Kami" lived, realized something and they left their planet, starting a war with Izumo. Izumo fought back and with battle after battle, they used their enemies' power to forge the swords you see in the vid, 12 of them, called the Sentinels. And then they were all broken, so by using the remains of those weapons the Izumo people forged Origin (the white sword that Acheron wields in that scene) and End (the huge black sword that she jumped to slash in the next scene). Both swords got destroyed in the war, and Acheron is left with just the broken hilt of the sword Origin. But turns out all of their fighting was for nothing, the thing the Kami had realized, was that their planet was going to be consumed by the "Black Sun" in the near future, and tried to migrate to Izumo in hopes of surviving. But as Acheron said in the trailed "We both long strode into THEIR (The Black Sun's) shadow" The lie, and the end that never existed was that by winning the war against the Kami, their world would be saved. But it was all for nothing, they "had pawned everything, all for the destruction of two worlds". Both worlds, regardless of their effort, and regardless of how beautiful they both were, would perish. Their struggles held no meaning against the black sun. Acheron, in a final struggle, tries to defy this realization, that everything was meaningless, and tries to slash at the black sun. In the process her broken sword gets reforged into "Naught." Then, the camera pans out, and we see illustrations of Izumo, and the war, and how the black sun was always there, all of their lives and efforts were meaningless in the end, because nothing was saved. The "Black Sun", was later revealed, was in fact an Aeon (A god in HSR's universe), IX, the god of nihility, a gigantic black hole that just exists, as it's domains represents the meaninglessness of life, and it doesn't make any conscious action, because as life is meaningless, there is no point to it. Which makes it even sadder, there really wasn't anything they could've done, it wasn't a god angry at them that decided to destroy them, they just were there, and sooner or later would be caught in IX's shadow. Acheron gains, and loses a lot from this interaction with IX, which is later explained in game.
About the Aeons. You get the opportunity to change the Path your character is on. At the start, the Trailblazer is only treading the Path of Destruction(Nanook). The next path that opens is the Path of Preservation(Qlipoth) which happens Jarllio-VI, then the Path of Harmony(Xipe) which happens on Penacony. Of all the Aeons, only 2 are officially known to be deceased: Ena(The Aeon of Order) and Long(The Aeon of Permanence). The fates of Idrilia(The Aeon of Beauty) and Akivili(The Aeon of the Trailblaze) are currently unknown, though they are presumed deceased.
I think even without getting into the metaphysics at play in Kyouden, there's an easy way to explain what happened. Think about what the two Bearers at Izumo's end symbolized - Origin and End. Now, what would happen if the Beginning and End of a story killed each other? A story that never starts, a story that never concludes. A history that ate itself alive. A lie.
That is such a good question lol A little mistake they made but it is a happy mistake because if they didn't do that I wouldn't have seen the pure awesomeness that trailer had to offer :)
Right now I don't really know the whole story but I am sure as soon as I get to Penacony all of this will become clear and I will be like "Oh yup, there is the spoiler"
@@K1ngBard yup the moment you enter penacony you would realize 😆 Well in all honesty she is just unavoidable at this moment Since it's her banner in next patch and 90-95% of the community is probably gonna pull for her She is probably the most love character atm
@@GenuisSocietyNo83Herta oh man well that sucks. I am usually so good avoiding spoilers. But I can see the hype for her, it is pretty remarkable and like you said unavoidable at this point.
@@K1ngBard btw I wish you watch 3 music video if you haven't 1 is interstellar journey Honkai star rail version 1.0 music video 2 is white night Honkai star rail version 2.0 music video 3 is English VA cover for the white night music video You can see it in Nicholas leung channel The voice actor for Dan Heng he made it with 30+ English VA 😍
Oh interesting!!! So the chances of her fulfilling that desire is low. This creates the question…how will she react once she realizes this won’t happen 🤔
@@K1ngBard she will most likely go after a different research subject. It is however possible for a general idea to consume a more specific one (e.g. Harmony consuming Order) so if Ruan Mei finds an idea more general than Erudition, she can ascend
Kafka is something else😆 Black swan has to be one of my favorites, i would explain why but that might be spoilers i suppose Ugh, so many things i want to say but might be Spoilers, how frustrating, i don't think this one is, idk if you connected the dots, but sparkle was an actresses that played a role so many times she lost her sanity Also you should watch the animation!!
haha well once I catch up with the main story we can talk about all of ti! And that is interesting! Sparkle is definitely a pretty wild character lol I am going to check out the animations too :)
Oh okay that is pretty cool! These trailers are pretty amazing and I can tell that the lore runs deep in this game just like it does in Genshin which I am excited about.
You shouldn't have watched some of these before Penacony 😅 but now that the harm is done, you should rewatch them after you complete it. They hit much harder.
Yeah I am most likely going to regret it once I understand the story and have the context of what is going on in these trailers lol. I’ll give them a rewatch once I catch up with the story like you said 😁
@@K1ngBard Penacony's story is still incredible and there are still many things that you won't see coming. This one is actually not the hardest twist to crack but it was good to have the doubt and even if you forget now, you'll remember when you get there. Fortunately, there's still a lot of mystery left even around this and it will still be enjoyable but I suggest you don't look up anything else from Penacony yet 😅
I will answer your Question at the End and some theories and assumptions so SPOILERS!!!! First no Firefly has no Stellaron in her. No, those thing in the sky weren't debris, those are still the Bugs(The Swarm) which they were fighting the Beginning. Theories and my Assumptions: I assume that Somehow Firefly went into Stasis like March 7th for unknown reasons. Since although The Swarm is still around, if I'm not Wrong The Glamoth Empire was destroyed during the War with the Swarm which was called The Swarm Disaster. I assume that The Stellaron Hunters managed to find Firefly in that specific time and place because of the Script. Also if I'm not wrong with these theories, Firefly could be Older than an Aeon which is Nanook that was born after the Swarm Disaster.
Yeah it is unfortunate but thankfully I don't really have the whole picture to know what is really going on. It is kind of like someone giving me a few puzzle pieces where I can make some connections and I have no idea what the whole puzzle looks like. I am sure when I get to Penacony I will feel the spoilers connect.
@@K1ngBard I thought you wouldn't get past Jarilo after you relocated Star rail to Saturdays and then stopped playing the main quest after Jarilo is pretty meh to the point that I heard that its writer was the same one from Inazuma and they were fired after that, I don't know if it's true that seems pretty extreme but if by any chance it's true it would explain how these two main quests in these two games were so mediocre, it seems that Inazuma and Luofu are tests to see if your determination is strong enough to continue playing 😂 however the interludes are cool and Penacony is very good despite the ending being very unnecessarily extended, i mean 11 hours in a single chapter of a quest? really?
@@K1ngBard shes not a psychopath lmaoo. Ruan Mei is a very complicated character with somewhat tragic story that shaped her. id say shes a sociopath, yeah. but not a psycho, my god..
that be a shame if these Villains fatui like character died of screen right? watching all the Myriad trailer like that made me realized that none of them are about belobog And that only 1 limited 5 star is from that region... kind of show how hoyo doesn't care about that planet...

So when he reincarnated into his current self, he spent his early life imprisoned, and then eventually banished from the Xianzhou Luofu. Somewhere along his aimless wandering across space, he met with the Astral Express, and the rest is history.
I really love the Morse code beeping 2:46 in nous section in the first trailer 😂
I don't even remember the message just the beeping have a great tune
This is owlbert the main mascot host of star rail live stream he is the one announcing the new patch one of the best English voice actor 😍
She wants to become an aeon
Aka a god 😂
Oh that is really cool they did morse code for a sneaking little message like that.
Haha Owlbert is an awesome name! I can't wait to meet him lol
Ohhhh okay! Well that does put her in a different light than I thought lol
@@K1ngBard you can meet owlbert if you watch
Patch live stream
Or a character demo he host it 😍 his voice just fits hard pure host vibe
If I recall correctly the Morse code or the binary on screen means "42", it's a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy reference
28:58 “Become an Aeon” is what Ruan Mei said. It’s extremely faint but yeah, her goal is scary. You’ll learn more about her and her research in the Trailblaze Continuance “Crown of Mundane and Divine” (Interlude Chapters like Genshin)
29:23 Penacony is something I can’t describe with pure words… it exceeded everything I thought would happen. Plot Twists, Confusion, Tears, everything was there! But you still have a bit to go, take your time with the story! No need to rush!
31:23 They aren’t really the “Fatui Harbingers” of Star Rail, at least, not yet. Not a lot are shown about them except for Duke Inferno in the story currently. They’ll probably be more of a recurring Antagonist group like the Stellaron Hunters, though not sure.
32:46 Don’t Be Scared… Nothing Bad Is Going To Happen, I Promise :)
Since you slowly reaching the finale of Belobog, there’s one more thing!
Starting from Version 2.3 and onwards, Star Rail will give you a character (kinda) upon completing Belobog in the event screen. The character isn’t really a spoiler because you don’t have any context for them, but yeah… just a warning/hint. Amazing Reaction as always! ❤
Uh oh really!!!!! I am really going to have even more trust issues after playing too huh lol She seems so nice too haha
Yeah exactly, no rushing but I am so excited to get there. The story there just seems phenomenal!
Oh oh okay! So they are the big baddies then. They do look pretty awesome and certainly give that powerful vibes
I feel like that promise has some fingers crossed behind the back haha
I am excited to continue the story and I am going to try and upload more than once a week. I am curious on who this character is!
I am really happy that you enjoyed the video!
@@K1ngBard Hehehe, this character currently works the best with Firefly, almost buffing her to do triple the damage that she usually does.
Let’s just say, you see them a lot, including trailers. I won’t say more since the Update is in less than 24 hours and I like to keep some surprises for you to explore.
You’ll probably see them immediately upon opening the event screen and this so-called “event” is permanent, so you’ll guaranteed to obtain them after finishing Belobog!
What better way to wait for the maintenance to end than to watch KB
There's so much to explain to you about all these trailers, can't wait for you to experience it all
You're also really close to catching up with Genshin
So you'll be able to find immerse yourself into Star Rail
And now you know why I love this game so much
Ayy let’s go!!!! How is the update treating you so far?
I can’t wait to experience it too 🤩 It seems like I am in for a ride haha
I can’t believe I’m almost done with Fontaine already, I feel like I just started it back up haha.
And now I 100% know why you love this game lol.
@@K1ngBard it's been great, I've been taking it slowly because I get home really tired now
@HolyPlatinum that’s good to hear! Make sure you’re taking care of yourself too. Some down time and rest is important.
6:03 look at the left window near the Goat. He is watching ;)
I don't think the annihilation gang is the fatui counterpart of HSR, it's the stellaron hunters that are more like the fatui. but there are many factions anyway like the annahilation gang and IPC etc...
There are several characters that are alternate-reality versions of each other, spanning across multiple Hoyo games. For example there is a Raiden Mei in Honkai 3rd, Raiden Shogun (Ei) in Genshin, and Acheron in Star Rail. Likewise Bronya/Bronie/Starwolf variants (might be the Tsaritsa in Genshin), Himeko is in Honkai 3rd and Star Rail and semi confirmed to be Natlan Archon in Genshin, Seele variants. And the MC of Honkai Kiana has variations as the Unknown god in Genshin. In some cases they keep the same VA's across games, but not always in all languages.
You should check out the animated shorts. The last video you watched was an animated short and not myriad Celestia trailer. All of those animated shorts are animated like that and anazing
Oh dang okay!!! I will for sure check the other animations out because that animation I saw was phenomenal so I can only guess the other ones will be just as good.
Whoops. I was trying to convince you in the last couple of videos not to watch the last two videos, but you probably already recorded and were editing by then :D Pity that I couldn't share that with you sooner, but it is about the journey, not the destination!
Around 42nd minute, you ask who the person with the colour changing appearance is. That is Acheron. That video explores her back story a bit.
About your questions in the last two videos, do you really want answers to them? Or do you want to leave it to the end of 2.2 when you could possibly revisit those two videos about Firefly. If you want context, I'll provide it. Upto you :)
I'm glad you're getting into star rail and seem to be enjoying it. I completely understand why you struggled initially, especially trying to navigate the first couple of times in the Simulated universe. It feels slow. But as you can see, it picks up massively. The last video gives you why I said HSR is more mature than Genshin. While Genshin does deal with a few instances of death, and does get emotional... HSR doesn't mind crossing the gore barrier too. There are bodies blown up into bits there in that video. It can get pretty dark, and also pretty thought provoking.
Since you're getting into honkai, I also recommend reacting to all the Honkai Impact 3rd Animated shorts. They are so good!
Now since you got into hsr I recommend you to watch the hsr concert! It's amazing! But take your time tho
I definitely will react to their concerts. I love the music in Genshin and HSR so watching their concerts is always an amazing time. Just seeing the talent behind the music is absolutely beautiful.
No, you were right the first time around. Those things in the sky were definitely more bugs lmao
🤮 Oh my gosh!!! That is freaking crazy lol So many bugs!!!! I mean even Firefly is named after a bug lol
To me one of the most interesting lines in Ruan Mei's trailer was the admission "I have nothing to lose, and nothing to gain." That dovetails with a similar sentiment alluded to by Herta in her writings, where she describes the various ways somebody might react to catching Nous's gaze. From Herta's biased perspective (yet she is both brutally self-honest and a known Emanator of the Erudition, so likely an expert on the subject), those who see this as the culmination of their work and stop there, as well as those who are inspired to rededicate the rest of their lives to learning and proving the value of their gifts, both fail to enter the Genius Society. That final step requires a different revelation.
what where is the video of black swan dancing with acheron?
I’m not sure. I wonder if it is in the animations maybe?
Acheron's and Firefly's animations are huge for their backstories, both being older than they appeared, and both having survived the destruction of their worlds. Both continuing onward, despite there being something eating away at them from the inside. And both at least having strong parallels to two of the three main characters from _Honkai Impact 3rd_ , if not being their expies outright.
acheron is the only hi3 variant, glamoth only fought bugs while izumo literally has the 13 herrschers
57:45 to clarify your doubts, you don't have to necessarily have a stellaron to be an interesting individual in the eyes of the stellaron hunters : Elio has a plan and and he will recruit every individual whos destiny alignes with the future he seeks
Ohhhh okay! That makes complete sense :) Thank you for pointing that out for me.
The last "trailer" that u' saw is actually an animated short. Not a "myriad celestia" one. And you 10000% should watch others animated shorts now. They are simply gorgeous.
Oh, and u asked on 42:41 "whos that?". The answer is - Acheron. This trailer basically shows her past and how she became the way she is now.
Oh what the heck really! I wonder why they had it in the myriad playlist haha Now that I have seen that animated short though I really really am excited to watch the other ones!
OOOOOOHHHHHH that is Acheron!!! Dang! Oh man am I just excited to experience all of the stories this game has to offer. I am in for a wild ride :)
@@K1ngBard you wont regret it, im telling you. they are SO amazing! AND btw, for some additional context you can check the descriptions under every animated short!
and yep, the lore of this game only keeps on getting better. welcome to HSR, ahah!
ty for your reactions:) cant wait for the new ones to come😊
Ahh, consuming spoulers, are we? Rip SAM plottwist.
Yeah I didn't even really think about potential spoilers but as of right now I don't have any context so I don't fully understand a lot of it. Like I don't know who SAM is but I am sure once I get to Penacony all of this will click to me which is a bit unfortunate.
44:27 Awww so she has a little brother ❤❤❤
Her brother : 🔥😈🔥
i dont know how it is called rn, but i dont have time to search it, but you need to see the video about acheron and black swan "dancing" it is so fing good
It’s called Rondo Across Countless Kalpas, and is an animated short. Hope that helped!
About Acheron's Myriad Celestia (Kyoden: A cleave across the transient world), it is quite confusing even for people who know the story of Star Rail, it has a lot of parallelisms to Honkai Impact 3d, but the gist of it is
Acheron's homeworld - Izumo and another planet close by - Takamagahara coexisted orbiting a "Black Sun", and they both were beautiful places full of life. Takamagahara, in which beings called "Kami" lived, realized something and they left their planet, starting a war with Izumo.
Izumo fought back and with battle after battle, they used their enemies' power to forge the swords you see in the vid, 12 of them, called the Sentinels.
And then they were all broken, so by using the remains of those weapons the Izumo people forged Origin (the white sword that Acheron wields in that scene) and End (the huge black sword that she jumped to slash in the next scene). Both swords got destroyed in the war, and Acheron is left with just the broken hilt of the sword Origin.
But turns out all of their fighting was for nothing, the thing the Kami had realized, was that their planet was going to be consumed by the "Black Sun" in the near future, and tried to migrate to Izumo in hopes of surviving. But as Acheron said in the trailed "We both long strode into THEIR (The Black Sun's) shadow" The lie, and the end that never existed was that by winning the war against the Kami, their world would be saved. But it was all for nothing, they "had pawned everything, all for the destruction of two worlds". Both worlds, regardless of their effort, and regardless of how beautiful they both were, would perish. Their struggles held no meaning against the black sun.
Acheron, in a final struggle, tries to defy this realization, that everything was meaningless, and tries to slash at the black sun. In the process her broken sword gets reforged into "Naught." Then, the camera pans out, and we see illustrations of Izumo, and the war, and how the black sun was always there, all of their lives and efforts were meaningless in the end, because nothing was saved.
The "Black Sun", was later revealed, was in fact an Aeon (A god in HSR's universe), IX, the god of nihility, a gigantic black hole that just exists, as it's domains represents the meaninglessness of life, and it doesn't make any conscious action, because as life is meaningless, there is no point to it. Which makes it even sadder, there really wasn't anything they could've done, it wasn't a god angry at them that decided to destroy them, they just were there, and sooner or later would be caught in IX's shadow.
Acheron gains, and loses a lot from this interaction with IX, which is later explained in game.
About the Aeons. You get the opportunity to change the Path your character is on. At the start, the Trailblazer is only treading the Path of Destruction(Nanook). The next path that opens is the Path of Preservation(Qlipoth) which happens Jarllio-VI, then the Path of Harmony(Xipe) which happens on Penacony.
Of all the Aeons, only 2 are officially known to be deceased: Ena(The Aeon of Order) and Long(The Aeon of Permanence). The fates of Idrilia(The Aeon of Beauty) and Akivili(The Aeon of the Trailblaze) are currently unknown, though they are presumed deceased.
Pretty sure the Voracity was killed during the Swarm disaster as well (ironically eaten).
@@Nowaylarry No, Oroboros is confirmed still alive.
you should react to the animated shorts too. they really pop off
I think even without getting into the metaphysics at play in Kyouden, there's an easy way to explain what happened. Think about what the two Bearers at Izumo's end symbolized - Origin and End. Now, what would happen if the Beginning and End of a story killed each other? A story that never starts, a story that never concludes. A history that ate itself alive. A lie.
Wait, why animated short entering myriad celestial video list?
That is such a good question lol A little mistake they made but it is a happy mistake because if they didn't do that I wouldn't have seen the pure awesomeness that trailer had to offer :)
47:34 ok this is the biggest spoilers in all of Honkai star rail existence 😂
Right now I don't really know the whole story but I am sure as soon as I get to Penacony all of this will become clear and I will be like "Oh yup, there is the spoiler"
@@K1ngBard yup the moment you enter penacony you would realize 😆
Well in all honesty she is just unavoidable at this moment
Since it's her banner in next patch and 90-95% of the community is probably gonna pull for her
She is probably the most love character atm
@@GenuisSocietyNo83Herta oh man well that sucks. I am usually so good avoiding spoilers. But I can see the hype for her, it is pretty remarkable and like you said unavoidable at this point.
@@K1ngBard btw I wish you watch 3 music video if you haven't
1 is interstellar journey Honkai star rail version 1.0 music video
2 is white night Honkai star rail version 2.0 music video
3 is English VA cover for the white night music video
You can see it in Nicholas leung channel The voice actor for Dan Heng he made it with 30+ English VA 😍
Ruan Mei wants to become an Aeon, however it's unlikely because all the concepts close to her character are taken
Oh interesting!!! So the chances of her fulfilling that desire is low. This creates the question…how will she react once she realizes this won’t happen 🤔
@@K1ngBard she will most likely go after a different research subject. It is however possible for a general idea to consume a more specific one (e.g. Harmony consuming Order) so if Ruan Mei finds an idea more general than Erudition, she can ascend
Kafka is something else😆
Black swan has to be one of my favorites, i would explain why but that might be spoilers i suppose
Ugh, so many things i want to say but might be Spoilers, how frustrating,
i don't think this one is, idk if you connected the dots, but sparkle was an actresses that played a role so many times she lost her sanity
Also you should watch the animation!!
haha well once I catch up with the main story we can talk about all of ti! And that is interesting! Sparkle is definitely a pretty wild character lol I am going to check out the animations too :)
Animated Shorts next? You really have to react to Sesbian Lex 😂😂
Yup I will be doing the animated shorts next 🤩
Pretty sure celestia trailers are mostly background lore we dont get in game but can sometimes come up in game
Oh okay that is pretty cool! These trailers are pretty amazing and I can tell that the lore runs deep in this game just like it does in Genshin which I am excited about.
love me some more star rail content!
Yay! I am happy you are here enjoying some of it with me :)
Hoyo making anime.. Would watch any day.. Even the Arlecchino animated short was very good
It really was! They have been doing an amazing job with their animated shorts which is getting me so excited for the Genshin anime.
You shouldn't have watched some of these before Penacony 😅 but now that the harm is done, you should rewatch them after you complete it. They hit much harder.
Yeah I am most likely going to regret it once I understand the story and have the context of what is going on in these trailers lol. I’ll give them a rewatch once I catch up with the story like you said 😁
@@K1ngBard Penacony's story is still incredible and there are still many things that you won't see coming. This one is actually not the hardest twist to crack but it was good to have the doubt and even if you forget now, you'll remember when you get there. Fortunately, there's still a lot of mystery left even around this and it will still be enjoyable but I suggest you don't look up anything else from Penacony yet 😅
As an Argenti simp, I hereby pardon you for your sins.
Yay thank you!!!! It was an honest mistake and I am happy you have accepted my apology 😂
@@K1ngBard As an Argenti enthusiast im depressed because he was bugged and wasn't voiced 😭
Kafka is a menace but I don't think she is bad like villain type bad, she has a caring side :)
Oh really?? I am excited to see more from her, I only have seen her for like 5 minutes so far lol
I will answer your Question at the End and some theories and assumptions so SPOILERS!!!!
First no Firefly has no Stellaron in her.
No, those thing in the sky weren't debris, those are still the Bugs(The Swarm) which they were fighting the Beginning.
Theories and my Assumptions: I assume that Somehow Firefly went into Stasis like March 7th for unknown reasons. Since although The Swarm is still around, if I'm not Wrong The Glamoth Empire was destroyed during the War with the Swarm which was called The Swarm Disaster.
I assume that The Stellaron Hunters managed to find Firefly in that specific time and place because of the Script.
Also if I'm not wrong with these theories, Firefly could be Older than an Aeon which is Nanook that was born after the Swarm Disaster.
Lol The sheer amount of spoilers for someone who is still in Jarillo VI.
Yeah it is unfortunate but thankfully I don't really have the whole picture to know what is really going on. It is kind of like someone giving me a few puzzle pieces where I can make some connections and I have no idea what the whole puzzle looks like. I am sure when I get to Penacony I will feel the spoilers connect.
idk how far are you in the story but should i tell you the connection between kafka and Firefly ?
in-ter-ASS-tral
-KB, 2024
😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
damn you really started investing in Star rail huh?
Oh my goodness yes! After watching these trailers and seeing the characters I am so excited to go through and experience this game!
@@K1ngBard I thought you wouldn't get past Jarilo after you relocated Star rail to Saturdays and then stopped playing
the main quest after Jarilo is pretty meh to the point that I heard that its writer was the same one from Inazuma and they were fired after that, I don't know if it's true that seems pretty extreme but if by any chance it's true it would explain how these two main quests in these two games were so mediocre, it seems that Inazuma and Luofu are tests to see if your determination is strong enough to continue playing 😂
however the interludes are cool and Penacony is very good despite the ending being very unnecessarily extended, i mean 11 hours in a single chapter of a quest? really?
play it tho
More Star Rail videos will be coming for sure!
@@K1ngBard everyone looking for it 😘
Kafka reminds me of Makima
do Honkai Impact 3rd next
I will have to check it out!
Firefly is our Trailblazer’s gf and waifu ❤
Awww I love that so much!
btw ruan mei is psycopath
oh boy really!!!!! uh oh haha I am going to have even more trust issues after playing this game lol
@@K1ngBard shes not a psychopath lmaoo. Ruan Mei is a very complicated character with somewhat tragic story that shaped her. id say shes a sociopath, yeah. but not a psycho, my god..
@@K1ngBard react the short animated too!
that be a shame if these Villains fatui like character died of screen right?
watching all the Myriad trailer like that made me realized that none of them are about belobog And that only 1 limited 5 star is from that region... kind of show how hoyo doesn't care about that planet...
