Cant blame The Garden of Recollection members tho. Its their job to collect and preserve memories no matter how dark and cruel the memories are. At least they cant die cus they dont really have a real physical body if im not mistaken. But they can still get violated in other people's memories as we can see what happened to Black Swan 😂
@@remingtonsix5517 Considering that they've been going all "The Galaxy Rangers are not supposed to be around anymore so Acheron's affiliations are suspect" and during the next patch livestream they put a huge emphasis on how much Acheron's abilities were supposed to embody Nihility, I'd say it's not that surprising
I honestly thought at first that Acheron doesn’t remember killing Duke Inferno but heard the name before and thats why she was thinking. But since I am the only one thinking that I am pretty sure I am wrong.
I love how Black Swan was taking the initiative and taking the lead, seemingly in control of the dance, until she peered into Acheron and everything flipped and they switched roles. Black Swan went from being the hunter to being the prey in the matter of seconds. This tango between the two was also sooo damn smooth and so good, too!
Not juat that, but Acheron seemly didn't even try nor was she remotely bothered by it. Something about her memories and powers are just that terrifying and powerful
Black Swan fooled herself into thinking she could tease Acheron with a non-violent engagement, assuming that she could somehow maintain control in the memory scape throughout, that BS could set and maintain the tempo. But the moment she peered into Acheron's memories they clawed back at her mercilessly, never giving her a moment's rest as she became bombarded with the raw darkness and violence that haunted Acheron. Acheron being more reserved and emotionally subdued (and seemingly poor memory) isn't a flaw, its a coping mechanism and result of everything she's done so far.
When I saw that, it reminded me of the ouroboros, which connects Acheron to the finality. But it also has Black Hole imagery in there. Could it be that she dual wields the power of two Aeon? How broken is that.
@@TinkRomero Oh I just realized there was an aeon named Ouroboros in the game. I kinda forgot about that. Sorry, but that's not the ouroboros I was referring to. Well, it is said that Terminus moves backward in time right. Idk, I got this image on my mind of the aeon as a snake which eats its own tail and body, the tail and body is the Time itself, and the Head eating its own body is to ensure each moment got it's intended closure. Ouroboros IRL lore is also connected to time and infinity which kinda fits. Idk, maybe i'm just rambling nonsense here.
Kalpa: "A kalpa is a long period of time (aeon) in Hindu and Buddhist cosmology, generally between the creation and recreation of a world or universe." this has nothing to do with Kalpas from HI3. Maybe a slight reference, but nothing more
I haven't watched your reaction yet but I'm predicting you gonna go feral with this one, like god damn Black Swan at the beggining made me feel lesbian and I ain't even a woman.
I do like the fact that Acheron seemed to not mind, and maybe even enjoy, the dance, outside of the little moments where Black Swan was just a little too pushy. It even fits really well with the way they react to each other. Where Acheron is very nonchalant about it, treating it as a relatively pleasant experience. Maybe even wanting to interact with Black Swan more. But Black Swan literally doesn't mention Acheron outside of when it's explicitly necessary, and even seems nervous and probably a little scared of her. Because that was probably the most terrifying experience of her life.
I believe what BS experienced in that dreamscape of hers is her getting killed again and again as those victims that has fallen to Archeon's blade, such horrible experience, can drive literally anyone into madness with that, BS is still alive because all she wants is to peek into her memory so Archeon didn't consider her as a hostile, If she showed even a tiny bit of aggressive behavior Archeon might have ended her right there.
The moments where Black Swan was being very pushy, she was trying to use her powers to access Acheron's memories, which is also why Acheron pulls away at those moments.
@@der_saftmon She eventually got in, but was terrified to see what's in her memory ( nothing but death ), so as she is trying to get out, Archeon was like......" You came in uninvited, now you want out? Not until I say so woman....."
@@BK456Not wrong exactly, just gravely underestimating the difference in level of a hunter on the path of Nihility who drags in anything who foolishly comes too close with the silent and inescapable might of a black hole.
Everytime Black Swan touches her with that glow she’s reading her memories. Acheron keeps noticing and almost even appears to warn her, but obviously regrets it.
2 things I got from this short: 1) A Maxor quote from his Ultrakill video : Did we fight or have sex?. Best definition I could come up with for their relationship. 2) I AM BOTH TERRIFIED AND AROUSED.
They really got us with the yuribait and slapped some horror elements at the end, absolute chills. I wouldn't be surprised if she has the highest killcount out of everyone we met so far holy sht
@@orein1880Currently I think the highest kill count is Tizocic II which already has so many I think 13 million but then again this is the only confirmed one so idk maybe there are more
its funny when you remember that in game Acheron remembers the dance but doesn't seem to know about what she did next, red seems to be an aggressive side personality
@@connorradcliffe1769 I don't think it's a side personality. In her trailer, Acheron talks about how "those hazy memories become clearer when I draw my sword". If we go by the theory that Acheron is the emanator of Nihility, then I think Purple Acheron is a "safe mode" where she has limited access to her memories. Which would explain why she has trouble remembering simple things like what number her room is.
One thing to note: at around the 8:08 mark, there were 9 flashes of predator chasing their prey. Acheron is a major follower of Nihility. The name of the aeon: IX.
Literally just finished watching it I saw a comment saying Mina is going to be feral watching it and 1 minute later she uploads 😂 what a perfect timing
Black Swan's confidence turning into fear was probably my favorite part(aside from you going through it xD) in this animated short. Also, Acheron with "Annihilation Gang who?" at the end was CRAZY, showing that she is fricking strong clashing with Duke Inferno AND his children. YURI YURI YURI YURI YU- I mean what?! 😅
I'm sure the power difference did make them less memorable as well (in all seriousness it likely only took a single attack), but it's established on our first meeting with Acheron that she has trouble remembering things in the first place.
I think she’s an emanator of nihility. During 8:19 it shows an image of black hole similar to how the aeon of nihility appears to us in simulated universe. It would also make sense if we take Adventurine’s foreshadowing about being an emanator. He listed the hunt and destruction, both paths that revolve around laying waste. The hunt to the abundance and the destruction to… well everything living thing. But there’s another path that involves annihilating everything around. The Nihility, that whether it wants to or not ends up engulfing everything indiscriminately like a black hole.
Makes sense why she doesn't want to draw her blade even when Firefly was about to die because her Nihility emanator powers are probably sealed away inside of that sword. So when she unsheathes her sword, it brings out her emanator powers and since Nihility "engulfs everything indiscriminately like a black hole" like you said, she would end up killing the death meme but also everyone else who was there.
I've thought this too, but IX is said to have no emanators because it thinks everything is meaningless so there'd be no point to spreading their power anyway (there's even a group of people who wish to become emanators of IX by convincing it that life is worth living LMAO). that said, Acheron is also such a unique and mysterious character that I could definitely see IX somehow linking itself to her anyway, if she is indeed an emanator it's for sure for either nihility or finality.
@@k3nt0b3nt0 Well... we know that the Presentation video from 2.1 special program patch It doesnt had to be precise of whats will happen, but... I´ll say that its not correct about her power will attack indiscriminately, bc in that presentation vid Acheron uses her sword. So... the most common thing to think it is that she knows how to control it.
At first I remembered how Black Swan told Sparkle that she already had a dance partner...But man...WTF happened here?! There's a straight explanation for this, but I couldn't care less. Cosmic horror Yuri, here I go!
@@UOHCUNY ah, you were being serious. Well, if we're talking about that, I am aware of a statistic that homophobes love to intentionally misinterpret in order to justify their hatred. The "lesbians report the highest rate of having suffered domestic violence in their relationships" one, right?
@@jessiejalandra5219 I am well aware. The thing is, there is an actual statistic that homophobes intentionally misinterpret as "lesbian relationships have the most domestic violence," when what it actually says is that lesbians are more likely to report being victims of DV, which doesn't take into account the many lesbians who have been in relationships with men, and have gotten most of their DV from those relationships.
@@samerf1 It was Black Swan investigating and Acheron being apathetic, if was never going anywhere. Not like chemistry or logic ever stopped shipping.
@WinnGale that's why I found it strange, no problem with shipping characters with no relation at all or some who have chemistry, but characters that are clearly complete opposites is weird for me
Oh my GOD!!! That moment when Black Swan looked at Acheron with fear! The horror on her face was animated so damn well!!! Everything was animated so beautifully.
If I were to make a top 10 list of CCs reacting to this animated short, Mina's reaction is UNANIMOUSLY NUMBER 1 without a doubt 😁 and I KNEW you wouldn't make it out of this alive lmao 🤣
In the stream they said they had to come up with something within nihility. That means they gave her nihility path because she is an emenator of nihility.
Shaoji(don't know if spelled that correct?) said due to unspeakable reason she became nihility so yeah i think her being an emenator would be something they could not just say at that point.
I wonder if she *wields* Nihility but she is not *of* Nihility. Like how Phantylia, a confirmed Emanator, is of Destruction but wielded the power of Abundance in her bossfight. Apparently it's possible to subvert other Paths.
@@bah9541 Nah, acheron definitely nihility and wasn't the reason why Phantylia could do such thing since She taken the Tree of Abundance power into Her and that's not even Her real body so It's possible for Her to take in another Path since It isn't Her body but created by the Stellaron & Tree
@@bah9541 I mean that was just mostly due to her possession of that abundance body, I forgot exactly what she possessed but that made her harness the power of abundance. For Acheron the only reason she would be an emanator of anybody else besides nihility is that it's confusing as to why she keeps repeating lines in regards to knowing the end and stuff which basically implies or coincides with the aeon of finality, but her having hazy memories contradicts this since thats a trait "exclusive" to people that have made contact with IX or whats gonna happen to you if you make contact with IX. Dying multiple times/time basically bot making sense and having your memories "corroded" as stated at the lore of the debuff set.
Also just rewatched it and if you slow it down by ALOT in the red phase thing, you can see Acheron SNAPS bs neck so every time we see feathers is Acheron killing bs
I swear every single HSR trailer ever since Penacony started has all been legendary and so insanely well-made. I have never seen Hoyoverse go this hard ever since HI3 animated shorts and cutscenes
I think the entire video was fabulous. From the initial dance which seemed like a light hearted romantic dance to Black Swan showing her true intentions of interrogating Acheron, and then getting traumatized. Also I am confident she is the Emanator of Nhility because we also got the Black Hole imagery.
I have seen over a dozen reactions to this Star Rail animated short and yours is still the best! I keep coming back to watch your reaction! :D Keep being you, Mina! :D
I like all of Mina's videos, but this will take a special place. To hear her unravel this way is such a delight, a great spice to an already fantastic animation.
Black swan peared into the abyss (acheron's memories) and when it stared back, she blinked for real though, dance started with black swan as the lead, but the moment she looked into her memories the table's turned, acheron was removing her feathers and was about to consume her.
Well she's apparently an emanator, someone on the same level as Phantylia... and Black Swan boldly was trying to peek into her memories and got burned xD
I love story telling like this so much. It tells you everything with just the dance and imagery Show don't tell is always a powerful and expressive way to let you know so many details without needing any exposition dumps.
I love how well animated the Tango is in this animation, it's such an emotional dance that can convey so many emotions and in this case is the whole rainbow 😁🏳️🌈. Amo mi país y su musica.🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
i love how your reactions are so goated that people were commenting on the original video anticipating your downfall...erm, I mean thirst (we're all there with you)
I think Black Swan danced with Acheron's hand to extract her memories for her to find out what her m.o truly was by making contact with her. You can see at 4:20 something that came out of Acheron's hand, presumably Acheron's memories, But, hey, that's just a theory.
It's so funny how hyped up Duke Inferno was getting too, he got his own trailer with his own underlings, and a whole side quest on the space station just to show what was supposed to be a fraction of his power, that we were struggling to deal with and was supposed to be incomplete. Just to get to this point where he and all his children were no diffed by Acheron so hard that she couldn't even be bothered to remember them. And she did it in such a heinous one sided slaughter that it petrified Black Swan.
That was the best reaction I've seen. In fact, I had the same emotions. Although it still feels like when I watched it myself. I forgot to even breathe. But it was incredible!
Loved the video @MinaAoyamaCh! Can't wait for the next video Girl! I loved the Video as well as you just absolutely going to town and Going Feral on this video LMAO! Now I want to see Pokke's reaction to this before watching Koomaxx and Rubee's reaction to the video as well! Also, there's a little Something New for Zenless Zone Zero as well that was released a few days ago with Nicole in the Thumbnail. The Fact that Black Swan and Acheron started off with a Vianese Waltz, then a Tango or Argentine Tango and then a Paso Doble was just a New Level of Yuri that I didn't even think would come to life! Let me know what you think about this and I'll catch you in your next video Girl! If you're wondering why I know about the Dances, it's because I was always the "Captive Audience" for ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" while I was in School.

I love how Black Swan was taking the initiative and taking the lead, seemingly in control of the dance, until she peered into Acheron and everything flipped and they switched roles. Black Swan went from being the hunter to being the prey in the matter of seconds.
This tango between the two was also sooo damn smooth and so good, too!
Not juat that, but Acheron seemly didn't even try nor was she remotely bothered by it. Something about her memories and powers are just that terrifying and powerful
And hot too lmao
Black Swan tryna rizz Acheron up, but instead she's the one that got pegged and Acheron went real rough on her 👀
Black Swan fooled herself into thinking she could tease Acheron with a non-violent engagement, assuming that she could somehow maintain control in the memory scape throughout, that BS could set and maintain the tempo. But the moment she peered into Acheron's memories they clawed back at her mercilessly, never giving her a moment's rest as she became bombarded with the raw darkness and violence that haunted Acheron.
Acheron being more reserved and emotionally subdued (and seemingly poor memory) isn't a flaw, its a coping mechanism and result of everything she's done so far.
If she wanted to do a non-violent metod she doesn't need to seduce her (why are so many people jealous of 2d characters ships)

@@UOHCUNY ah, you were being serious. Well, if we're talking about that, I am aware of a statistic that homophobes love to intentionally misinterpret in order to justify their hatred. The "lesbians report the highest rate of having suffered domestic violence in their relationships" one, right?
@@holycheeseburger2981 hetero is the highest lmao in any kind of sa or shit
@@jessiejalandra5219 I am well aware. The thing is, there is an actual statistic that homophobes intentionally misinterpret as "lesbian relationships have the most domestic violence," when what it actually says is that lesbians are more likely to report being victims of DV, which doesn't take into account the many lesbians who have been in relationships with men, and have gotten most of their DV from those relationships.
@@UOHCUNY dumbass couldn't even read the statistic and what it actually stated lol
Well that's quick
It started from nowhere and it ended the way it started. Well, in my opinion they had 0 chemistry
That's what she said!
@@samerf1 It was Black Swan investigating and Acheron being apathetic, if was never going anywhere. Not like chemistry or logic ever stopped shipping.
@@samerf1 idc, they're gonna have chemistry in my team with kafka
@WinnGale that's why I found it strange, no problem with shipping characters with no relation at all or some who have chemistry, but characters that are clearly complete opposites is weird for me
Mina running to get tissues to stop her nosebleed at 2:13 😂
THEY MADE AN ANIMATED SHORT JUST FOR MINA FRFR HOYOSPY DESERVES A RAISE. time to make this her most viewed video yall ... 😭
Oh my GOD!!! That moment when Black Swan looked at Acheron with fear! The horror on her face was animated so damn well!!! Everything was animated so beautifully.
If I were to make a top 10 list of CCs reacting to this animated short, Mina's reaction is UNANIMOUSLY NUMBER 1 without a doubt 😁 and I KNEW you wouldn't make it out of this alive lmao 🤣
NGL I watched your reaction 10+ times and I cant stop. This is best reaction to my favorite characters getting animated short TOGETHER
Black swan couldn't handle her good lord
I hope hoyo continues making such banger animated shorts, like this is genuinely so damn good
Mina is the only person i could imagine actually nose bleeding seeing these situations 💀
It's all over her monitor.
In the stream they said they had to come up with something within nihility.
That means they gave her nihility path because she is an emenator of nihility.
Shaoji(don't know if spelled that correct?) said due to unspeakable reason she became nihility so yeah i think her being an emenator would be something they could not just say at that point.
I wonder if she *wields* Nihility but she is not *of* Nihility. Like how Phantylia, a confirmed Emanator, is of Destruction but wielded the power of Abundance in her bossfight. Apparently it's possible to subvert other Paths.
@@bah9541 Nah, acheron definitely nihility and wasn't the reason why Phantylia could do such thing since She taken the Tree of Abundance power into Her and that's not even Her real body so It's possible for Her to take in another Path since It isn't Her body but created by the Stellaron & Tree
@@bah9541 I mean that was just mostly due to her possession of that abundance body, I forgot exactly what she possessed but that made her harness the power of abundance. For Acheron the only reason she would be an emanator of anybody else besides nihility is that it's confusing as to why she keeps repeating lines in regards to knowing the end and stuff which basically implies or coincides with the aeon of finality, but her having hazy memories contradicts this since thats a trait "exclusive" to people that have made contact with IX or whats gonna happen to you if you make contact with IX. Dying multiple times/time basically bot making sense and having your memories "corroded" as stated at the lore of the debuff set.
one of the REALEST reactions to this sapphic masterpiece i have seen
Considering how many black hole references there were, she’s most likely a emenator of IX
so nihility then
Yeah, it literally has a picture of him both here and in her ult. It's not even just a black hole it's just straight up ix.
Either them or Terminus. I think both are involved in some manner?
Also just rewatched it and if you slow it down by ALOT in the red phase thing, you can see Acheron SNAPS bs neck so every time we see feathers is Acheron killing bs
@@aurochus probably her alter the one doing it
4:46 Don't worry Mina there isn't one person here who is mainly here for the lore analysis LMFAO
But the LOREEEEEEEEEEE is so rich within the animated video
It's TIME! It's Time! For Mina Yuri Show OFC! 😂😳😈
One of the BEST reactions that I've ever seen in my whole life! Period! ^~^
Thanks for reacting to this! :)
I swear every single HSR trailer ever since Penacony started has all been legendary and so insanely well-made. I have never seen Hoyoverse go this hard ever since HI3 animated shorts and cutscenes
8:16 congrats on the cameo Mina!
I WAS WAITING FOR MINA'S REACTION TO THIS ONE! IT IS FREAKING TIME!!!!
I think the entire video was fabulous. From the initial dance which seemed like a light hearted romantic dance to Black Swan showing her true intentions of interrogating Acheron, and then getting traumatized. Also I am confident she is the Emanator of Nhility because we also got the Black Hole imagery.
7:37 those aren't the moves of someone whose main values are laziness and meaninglessness.
when i saw the trailer drop i IMMEDIATELY headed over to mina's channel xD I am not disappointed at all lolol love your reaction to this
I have seen over a dozen reactions to this Star Rail animated short and yours is still the best! I keep coming back to watch your reaction! :D Keep being you, Mina! :D
LETS GO I WAS WAITING FOR THIS, MINA'S FERAL REACTION
People really denying the implications of this dance lol. People can be very dense about this lol.
It’s mostly straight men that are in denial 😂
@@xMika_ For real, a lot of them nowadays cannot seem to grasp the concept of ‘sensuality’ even if manipulative in context.
I like all of Mina's videos, but this will take a special place. To hear her unravel this way is such a delight, a great spice to an already fantastic animation.
I finished watching the trailer and then noticed Mina had a reaction and jumped right in immediately.
Hang in there, Mina.
6:55 Bro really said salad💀
06:04 "I want to know what she is". We know. Girl kisser.
That smug??? Frieren? I might've typo.
0:53 I'M CACKLING
Black swan peared into the abyss (acheron's memories) and when it stared back, she blinked
for real though, dance started with black swan as the lead, but the moment she looked into her memories the table's turned, acheron was removing her feathers and was about to consume her.
IX demands more hot women.
i wish i could get this excited about uh... anything. ever.
She wanted to look at acherons memories but the only memory she got was ptsd
MINA SO REAL FOR THE TABLE BANGING LMAO
Well she's apparently an emanator, someone on the same level as Phantylia... and Black Swan boldly was trying to peek into her memories and got burned xD
i saw the trailer and was like "Minas gonna fucking lose it" and wouldnt you believe it, she lost it
and shes so real for that
THE WAY YOU WERE THE FIRST PERSON I THOUGHT ABOUT WHEN I SAW THE STAR RAIL CHANNEL NOTIFICATION LMAOOO TOXIC YURI 🎉🎉🥳
WE ARE SO HERE
Black Swan: She's hot, maybe this could be something
*enters Acheron's mind*
Black Swan: abort abOrT *ABORT* ON SECOND THOUGHT, SPARKLE IT IS
Cool detail at 3:34 Black Swan is "flapping" her arms
The best reaction ever!!! Doesn't matter how many times I'm watching it xD
4:25 Black swan going same shit as ruan mei when we first met her😂
What did she mean when she said, "Right in front of my salad?"
She never finished her thought
The most epic fanfic animation Mina wishes she could afford to make! 😂😍
I love story telling like this so much. It tells you everything with just the dance and imagery
Show don't tell is always a powerful and expressive way to let you know so many details without needing any exposition dumps.
I love how well animated the Tango is in this animation, it's such an emotional dance that can convey so many emotions and in this case is the whole rainbow 😁🏳️🌈. Amo mi país y su musica.🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
@@xoan2107 Didn't know tango originated in Argentina specifically. Thx for the new knowledge.
i love how your reactions are so goated that people were commenting on the original video anticipating your downfall...erm, I mean thirst (we're all there with you)
I just watched the trailer and your nomination just popped 😂
I have not seen a more accurate definition of f*ck around amd find out 😂
Man, that's straight up like GGZ Mei there
They actually told us what she's the emanator of in the short- Black swan gets sucked into a black hole- nihility- IX.
acheron in the 2.0 story is revealed to be an eminator, we just dont know whos, but its probably hunt or nihility
I think Black Swan danced with Acheron's hand to extract her memories for her to find out what her m.o truly was by making contact with her. You can see at 4:20 something that came out of Acheron's hand, presumably Acheron's memories, But, hey, that's just a theory.
A GAME THEORY
Just two mommies dancing
It's so funny how hyped up Duke Inferno was getting too, he got his own trailer with his own underlings, and a whole side quest on the space station just to show what was supposed to be a fraction of his power, that we were struggling to deal with and was supposed to be incomplete. Just to get to this point where he and all his children were no diffed by Acheron so hard that she couldn't even be bothered to remember them. And she did it in such a heinous one sided slaughter that it petrified Black Swan.
When Acheron turn aggressive, even Black Swan can't handle it
That was the best reaction I've seen. In fact, I had the same emotions. Although it still feels like when I watched it myself. I forgot to even breathe. But it was incredible!
Props to the animator for putting the entire thing with just one hand… mad respect 🫡
Mina doubles the original video length with all her flabbergasting 😭
Can we all take a moment to appreciate that KALPASS got mentioned in the title.
Bro that's not the Kalpas on hi3rd rather It refers to a point of time between the creation and recreation of universe
@@ieatwalnut9088 ok.
@@ieatwalnut9088 Ok
@@ieatwalnut9088 Still a Kalpas mention.
@@Absolute_Crimson when did the video mention Kalpas? I might have missed it . If you refer on the title then I don't think it means Kalpas on hi3rd.
Rewatching the official video but on Mina's channel just to see her reaction
It's just released half an hour and she's already reacting to it. Not complaining though 🤣
Mina: "I'm good"
The literal second she says that: BS kisses Acheron's hand
So her hometown is izumo. Acheron is the wielder of one of 12 its legendary blades
No! I missed the live reaction. I was really lookong forward to seeing it
That was fast, even the comment already tagged you gal
Loved the video @MinaAoyamaCh! Can't wait for the next video Girl! I loved the Video as well as you just absolutely going to town and Going Feral on this video LMAO! Now I want to see Pokke's reaction to this before watching Koomaxx and Rubee's reaction to the video as well!
Also, there's a little Something New for Zenless Zone Zero as well that was released a few days ago with Nicole in the Thumbnail.
The Fact that Black Swan and Acheron started off with a Vianese Waltz, then a Tango or Argentine Tango and then a Paso Doble was just a New Level of Yuri that I didn't even think would come to life!
Let me know what you think about this and I'll catch you in your next video Girl! If you're wondering why I know about the Dances, it's because I was always the "Captive Audience" for ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" while I was in School.
This is one of my favorites reaction of Mina hahaha.
Acheswan yeahhh
Swan was very confident to start the dance. She never expected it to turn terrible for her.
