I believe the trailer is a retelling of Sparkle falling to Elation. It's Red Mask (Aha) showing White Mask (Sparkle) all the wonders of Elation and making her fall to the insanity of it all, through the Russian roulette game (albeit figurative). At the end, Red Mask (Aha) is holding White Mask (Sparkle), and they both get shot by a singular bullet. The White Mask falls into the water and turns into the Half-White Half-Red Mask we're accustomed to, symbolizing the 'merging' of Sparkle and Aha.
I think you're on to something! Makes sense why we only see red+white mask Sparkle in the final shot too, that is current Sparkle showing us her origin story of how she became a masked fool.
One more thing, during the Penacony cast morph things, before Adventurine is White Mask while Acheron is Red which highly implied that Red Mask Aeon's Persona or similar, as Acheron is an Emanator of an Aeon. While White is humanity. Before turning back to Red and White Sparkle. Edit: While before Black Swan is Black/Dark Red Mask, which could mean others or opposite of the White Mask of human.
just realized that in the Russian roulette part of the trailer, she shoots at herself 5 times before "forcing her other self to shoot her", which means she KNEW it was the shot with the bullet ( it was 4 times but it makes it even better/worse ). it's 6AM and I still haven't gone to sleep so I won't think too much but there IS a link with her "what is a fool/what is foolishness" line and I love it, idk what yet, but I know I love it. I also feel like there is in fact no "mask self" and "true self" and that they are all just a role. Even her previous trailer was most likely a fake backstory that was nothing but a role for her. I think she is even more complex that what we currently simplify as her having "her mask ( role ) that took over and now she doesn't know who she is/how to be herself" 10:45 mask that is a replica of the one that's used to represent Aha....I'll be honest, with the way she acts and everything shown until now...I wouldn't be surprised if she is revealed to be/becomes an emanator of Elation btw, Im not religious so idk but isn't that final shot a reference to Jesus's "final meal" or something like that ? anyways, goodnight
@148 couldn't fall to sleep because I was thinking about the trail er and this part and yeah u are right....and I think it makes EVEN MORE sense with her "what is a fool/what is foolishness" line, it simply shows something different than what I initially expected
tbh i don't see how her just playing roles in both trailers could be considered more complex than her losing herself into her own act if you don't explain it lmao.
again, i love how you break stuff down and how detailed your reactions are!!! you're so underrated istg. i searched up monodrama too LMAOO same braincell moment, and yeah the aesthetic in the beginning really reminds me of jinx from arcane
In the Sparkle trailer theres 3 different masks, red, white and a mix of both the one we play is the one thats mixed. So i think its more like the masks gives a visual representation of her personality
there's also a black one only shown a few times, in her ult spinning round her briefly, so t glashes when she changes appearance along with the three others and it's also briefly a graphic during the psychedelic part. it's strange though since this one isn't made obvious like the others
The strings on the ball: Purple Acheron Purple Green Black Swan Orange Sam Purple Yellow I think Aventurine Light Green Firefly. Most likely the rolls she plays or the possible death flags.
For future reference, you can use the "," and "." keys in TH-cam to go forward and backward by one frame so you don't have to mess around with the speed and pausing.
12:20 what's interesting is that it isn't white mask Sparkle that appears in the end, but rather a mixture of both white and red. It seems like the red(chaotic) side of Sparkle is mostly in control but White(pure/true self?) is still in there somewhere. It'd be interesting if they explore more of her psyche in future updates.
Ive been waiting for her since i first seen any tiny bit about her, after watching this trailer, 6 times. In a row. I knew waiting was the right choice. Shes such an interesting character. They have to give her more story. They cant leave it at just these trailers. I need more. Shes also setting such a high bar for the rest of the masked fools with this trailer lol
Even before this trailer, Sparkle(Hanabi to me) was a must pull. I’m a huge Date a Live fan(maybe too much for my own good so seeing a semblance of one of its characters makes me really happy.) so this just further cemented me wanting this character. (I know it won’t happen, but I want to see a Mukuro reference)
I think you missed it, but the last Sparkle wasn't just a white or just a red mask. It was both colors in one. That was the only appearance of the duel colored masked Sparkle in the trailer right at the end.
This trailer is very Shaft-coded, we love to see it. FYI, you can move back & forth frame by frame on a paused TH-cam video by using the comma and period keys. Way easier than trying to pause at the exact right time.
Is interesting to note that besides the white and red masks we see in the spotlight, during the section in which her ult is shown we can also see a black mask in the background, so I wonder what that might represent
The one with the red/white mask is the “real” Sparkle. I’m guessing the white mask represents her when she was “innocent” and the red mask Sparkle is the chaos in her mind/personality. And as her being a villain in the story the red side is the one that has majority control over her. It represents the internal struggle that we all face with our good side and bad side. All the chaos and Russian roulette represents the struggles within ourself. Idk I can go on about my take on it, but I think this would hit home for a lot of ppl
I like to think the russian roulette specifically is a reference to her other trailer/pv's suicide implication and her descent into Elation. PV: "When I realized life was just a play, I wanted to leave the stage." Trailer: "What's your wager? The life of a faker." PV: "I am not sparkle... *I* am Sparkle." Makes me think there was a point where she had indeed tried to end herself before she completely fell, but Aha's influence managed to subdue the person she was. And based on the PV visuals, still is, trapped deep down. Definitely getting more of a 'Partial divine possession' feel off her than just someone going insane. Or at least a feeling that there was a version of Sparkle that felt herself losing control and was subdued.
yoooo at 2:09 the mask changed aswell in the water, it merged with the red one and the symbol on it changed to kinda what she shows in her eyes ,also at 10:02 if u slow it down u can see AHA, aswell as someone that has the same mark in its eye as sparkles back tattoo , it kinda looks like a sorta flame, and at 10:09 when its showing the faces theres 2 sparkles the first one isnt smiling and shows a black mask for it, the last sparkle is smiling and neither of them have a mask on them, or their head
Me thinking about the last part Being "the last supper" sends shivers down my spine (we its not really the last supper) scared the hell out of me then she comes out and says "were u scared just now" omg triggers me hahaha its soo good!!!
So some mild spoilers from the black swan storyline coupled with my own conjectures: i think the masks holds a bit of Aha's spirit in them and i think the alter the mental state of those who wear the masks, each time affecting them more and more. I think the red mask is meant to be Aha's influence while the white side is more of Sparkles self. Her mask having both colors implies that they are coexisting. Considering Sampo also has a mask and knows the masked troupe directly: it would a good assumption to say that he was also affected by Aha and thus his personality being the way it is. Edit: also their obsession over their masks would fit in with Aha: i would guess its a sense of liberation similar to doing drugs
If you look at the color trails from the bullet she fires, it had the same color as the Sparkles with the strings coming out of them. She's shooting herself.
the black mask isn’t used a lot in this trailer and the myriad celestia trailer you can see it during her ult and when she’s changing into different people at 1:50
If you see closely in the wager scene there's actually 2 sparkle there, First White shots herself first - it missed - then got interrupted by enemies, Second Red got the gun then she shots herself 3 consecutive times - all missed, Third Red give White the gun and point at her own forehead, triggered the gun and it missed. Near the end of the trailer White got shot in the head and drop the mask, Red pick it up, use it and the mask turn into red mask. And at the end of trailer Red is not moving while White ask us "were you scared just now?", so my conclusion is sparkle just playing around and having fun by herself while indicating that no matter if it's red mask, white mask, no mask, every single one of them is sparkle. All of them have different personalities but they're all the same person.
Fun facts: If you want to go frame-by-frame to break a trailer down, you can use the "" keys to go frame-by-frame. Some stuff that's really interesting with the conversation is that it feels like the part of her that's just there for the PURE sense of elation isn't "Killing" herself as much as it is "cutting the strings" of her stray personalities that are scared or unsure of committing to the full feelings of elation. (Tons of puppet motifs, as you rightly picked up, including when she "splits" herself, those images aren't just her, they have the same ball-jointed limbs like what Herta has, meaning they truly are puppets). Cool touch is how it's a different mask each time Sparkle changes her appearance to a different character as well.
Theoretically, the white mask represents Sparkle, the red mask Aha, the half-white and half-red mask would be Sparkle representing Aha's will or being controlled by his insanity, however there is a fourth mask. A black mask appears where she transforms into other characters and in her ultimate scene. What could this mask be? I'm very curious to know what Sparkle is really capable of.
She is so Unhinge! And I LOVE IT!! The after Drop when is she doing the "Lalas" and those visuals are so unsettleing, I love being kind of scare by her dadagagsfa And I notice the Colours mask too, is soo weird, during the whole trailer we have Red Sparkle, White Sparkle and the Half White Half Red Sparkle. In most moment is Red Sparkle killing White Sparkle, but then Half Sparkle seem to be the real one in control if we have a split personality thing I personally don't like the idea of the Mask ACTUALLY being a Supernatural 3rd Party, because idk, one chooses to join the masked fools when they choose to follow Elation, so why controlling them? Idk Uf the do the "Supernatural Mask" I expect some GOOD CRAZY explanation
Bro why us this making me think that all that will happen next, will lead back to Sparkle as she now plays every character, including our friends. I can also see her playing our hearts by offing all our friends and including the new ones
wanted to point out that it wasn't white mask Sparkle at the end I don't think. It is a mask that is split between red and white. I wonder if the implications are that she suffers from dissociative personality disorder and the two different Sparkles are constantly fighting for control and the red sparkle keeps using these games white sparkle doesn't want to play to win.
At 11:21 in this video, did you notice how the mask that fell was white for a moment before it became the white/red split? The innocent girl is gone, leaving only Elation.
I'm here since Fontaine arc playthrough (not that long, but still) and I can't get used to how Tsuki's eyes go oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Fool" is pretty much not just in English too but even in Japan. Like the famous one being Oda Nobunaga the Fool of Owari. And literally he's acting dumb while developing the world's FIRST gun volley ever to be exist... Yeah, that's just how HUGE 3-line gunfire he invented... Even to this day any war would uses exactly that gun volley formation. So being the "Fool" isn't bad at all... Its actually a compliment and Oda Nobunaga gladly take that name.
9:32 i wonder if that bear is an allusion to the bear in Golden Hour who changes appearance depending on what emotion you give them with clockwork. also this trailer definitely makes me believe sparkle is not just a pathstrider but an emanator of elation.
I thought the Masked Fools refer to The Fool of the Major arcana and that’s why they are not “stupid”. Which can also be interpreted as the protagonist of the mysteries of life. I just assumed it because of Black Swan😂
I don't need any more Harmony characters... But I want Sparkle anyways. The fox mask really does it for me and I love her chaos energy, think she has a lot of potential for an interesting core character and an alternative character interpretation
Main takeaway story-wise for this trailer is Sparkle can be anyone at any time. She could be Black Swan. She could be Acheron. She could be anyone. Everyone is Sparkle and Sparkle is everyone.
I loved this trailer so much!!! Stay strong me... STAY STRONG!! Your react has been the best I have seen so far amazing job on the vid! ❤ Edit: During the face change scene in legionzgaming react he had a theory that Hanabi might have been firefly.
I love how this trailer show's off how Insane Sparkle can be. Though I have a theory that everything shown in this trailer and maybe the Myriad as well was all in her head and she has to struggle with the insanity of Elation from day to day, possibly because she is an Emanator of Elation. I mean shit, she might not even be real! (I copied this from a comment I left somewhere else)
For us ordinary folk, it's REAL TALK. But for Sparkle, it's REAL JOKES. But with that said, my 70 wishes are ready and hoping to get her early guaranteed soon 🙏
This kinda supporting my theory for the last trailer. What I think that sparkle is not a particular person, but those who embrace the idea presented by the (red)mask. A white mask could represent the original personality of sparkle which a red one is the idea of elation. And the change of the mask might means that sparkle is accepting it, or letting elation be a part of her. And anyone could choose to be sparkle, enjoying herself, performing a monodrama on the largest stage, which is the world. Too bad, most of us can’t bear the cost of it and have no courage to do so.
@@Utrilus I am not sure. But I think it showcase that she has a full control of her power, being able to become anyone. It is like those masks at the end represent different people or personalities that she could choose to become. Because in the last trailer, we see Sparkle being a different person. The mask behaviour changes along the trailer, from not the same as her own emotion -> sharing same emotion -> being totally opposite. It feels like a process of getting know to ourselves, being ourselves and eventually losing ourselves possibly because of the environment, pressure or any other factors. What I am saying here is like, how a person look like can be completely different in front of his teacher, family, friends or only himself. (This concept is in fact heavy in Asian culture, everyone has tons of faces just like a mask to protect themselves). And now she is able to choose how she is freely (picking whichever mask she wants).
If I had a nickel for every time a vtuber I watch related this trailer to Arcane, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but damn, it happened twice? the other once was Mina Aoyama by the way
I believe the trailer is a retelling of Sparkle falling to Elation. It's Red Mask (Aha) showing White Mask (Sparkle) all the wonders of Elation and making her fall to the insanity of it all, through the Russian roulette game (albeit figurative).

More and more i watch it the more i think you are right.

@@galaxycrystal2503 Good point.
BTW, it's Aventurine, not Adventurine. 😅

10:45 mask that is a replica of the one that's used to represent Aha....I'll be honest, with the way she acts and everything shown until now...I wouldn't be surprised if she is revealed to be/becomes an emanator of Elation
btw, Im not religious so idk but isn't that final shot a reference to Jesus's "final meal" or something like that ?
anyways, goodnight
Im pretty sure she shot herself 4 times tho?
@148 couldn't fall to sleep because I was thinking about the trail er and this part and yeah u are right....and I think it makes EVEN MORE sense with her "what is a fool/what is foolishness" line, it simply shows something different than what I initially expected
I think the 5th shot at 1:44 was also a blank, and only the last one at 2:07 was real
tbh i don't see how her just playing roles in both trailers could be considered more complex than her losing herself into her own act if you don't explain it lmao.
>"final meal"
Actually "last supper" but yeah, probably

The strings on the ball:
Purple Acheron
Purple Green Black Swan
Orange Sam
Purple Yellow I think Aventurine
Light Green Firefly.
Most likely the rolls she plays or the possible death flags.
Man, that laugh right before the music drops. Love me a good crazy laugh 😄
SAME! That laugh did things to me 🥵
For future reference, you can use the "," and "." keys in TH-cam to go forward and backward by one frame so you don't have to mess around with the speed and pausing.
OMG! Thank you for the tip! My boomer ass had no idea that was a thing you could do lol
This trailer went so hard!! I’m so glad you really enjoyed it!! I can’t wait for her release!!
OMG I JUST REALZIED, theb ending scene looks alot like the tea party for alice in wonderland which fits the story aswell
12:20 what's interesting is that it isn't white mask Sparkle that appears in the end, but rather a mixture of both white and red.
It seems like the red(chaotic) side of Sparkle is mostly in control but White(pure/true self?) is still in there somewhere.

I was going to comment this, super fascinating stuff and I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw this detail
There are 4 masks, red, white, redwhite, and black. 11:17
She is literally joker! that Russian roulette is kinda reference to Gotham's Joker Russian Roullete scene
Why fix something thats already perfect, Why So Serious ~
Not gonna lie, she can fix me instead
There no fixing that . She make Rush look non crazy
Shes so in insane that shes making me pull for her 😵
Sparkle really went full on Persona 3
"were you scared just now?" just now? I've been scared the last 1 minute and 59 seconds
Yup, and I loved every second of it 🥵
Ive been waiting for her since i first seen any tiny bit about her, after watching this trailer, 6 times. In a row. I knew waiting was the right choice. Shes such an interesting character. They have to give her more story. They cant leave it at just these trailers. I need more. Shes also setting such a high bar for the rest of the masked fools with this trailer lol

I’m a huge Date a Live fan(maybe too much for my own good so seeing a semblance of one of its characters makes me really happy.) so this just further cemented me wanting this character.
(I know it won’t happen, but I want to see a Mukuro reference)
I want Nia reference. Maybe if Elio was a woman instead of a man kek
I think you missed it, but the last Sparkle wasn't just a white or just a red mask. It was both colors in one. That was the only appearance of the duel colored masked Sparkle in the trailer right at the end.
She oozing kurumi and harlequin vibe xD
This trailer is very Shaft-coded, we love to see it.
FYI, you can move back & forth frame by frame on a paused TH-cam video by using the comma and period keys. Way easier than trying to pause at the exact right time.
10:10 Cat’s Cradle is an Elation blessing in Simulated Universe that makes all of your Ults count as follow-up attacks
I can fix her.... I think?
Or maybe me who need fixing
Remember the monodrama in HSR about wanting to have harmony quantum 😂
She is perfect as she is
Is interesting to note that besides the white and red masks we see in the spotlight, during the section in which her ult is shown we can also see a black mask in the background, so I wonder what that might represent
It's finally happening, she is realizing the legend, the legend that you fear, she has finally made you... Insane for Sparkle~!
The one with the red/white mask is the “real” Sparkle. I’m guessing the white mask represents her when she was “innocent” and the red mask Sparkle is the chaos in her mind/personality. And as her being a villain in the story the red side is the one that has majority control over her.
It represents the internal struggle that we all face with our good side and bad side.
All the chaos and Russian roulette represents the struggles within ourself.
Idk I can go on about my take on it, but I think this would hit home for a lot of ppl
What of the black mask at 11:17, the one she didn't wear?
fhanks for next reaction good job :3
I like to think the russian roulette specifically is a reference to her other trailer/pv's suicide implication and her descent into Elation.
PV: "When I realized life was just a play, I wanted to leave the stage."
Trailer: "What's your wager? The life of a faker."
PV: "I am not sparkle... *I* am Sparkle."
Makes me think there was a point where she had indeed tried to end herself before she completely fell, but Aha's influence managed to subdue the person she was. And based on the PV visuals, still is, trapped deep down. Definitely getting more of a 'Partial divine possession' feel off her than just someone going insane. Or at least a feeling that there was a version of Sparkle that felt herself losing control and was subdued.
yoooo at 2:09 the mask changed aswell in the water, it merged with the red one and the symbol on it changed to kinda what she shows in her eyes ,also at 10:02 if u slow it down u can see AHA, aswell as someone that has the same mark in its eye as sparkles back tattoo , it kinda looks like a sorta flame, and at 10:09 when its showing the faces theres 2 sparkles the first one isnt smiling and shows a black mask for it, the last sparkle is smiling and neither of them have a mask on them, or their head
Also the mask actaully being both red and white the further the videos gos in and ends with the 2 colors sparkle being tge jnly 1 moving is so cool
Me thinking about the last part
Being "the last supper" sends shivers down my spine (we its not really the last supper) scared the hell out of me then she comes out and says "were u scared just now" omg triggers me hahaha its soo good!!!
So some mild spoilers from the black swan storyline coupled with my own conjectures: i think the masks holds a bit of Aha's spirit in them and i think the alter the mental state of those who wear the masks, each time affecting them more and more. I think the red mask is meant to be Aha's influence while the white side is more of Sparkles self. Her mask having both colors implies that they are coexisting. Considering Sampo also has a mask and knows the masked troupe directly: it would a good assumption to say that he was also affected by Aha and thus his personality being the way it is.
Edit: also their obsession over their masks would fit in with Aha: i would guess its a sense of liberation similar to doing drugs
I love how you pick up on all the small details in the trailer, this is what a react video should be!
1:56 that shot gave me PTSD from who knows where.
Btw, shaoji means rotisserie chicken in Chinese. And I applaud the last scene
If you look at the color trails from the bullet she fires, it had the same color as the Sparkles with the strings coming out of them. She's shooting herself.
When I hear monodrama it makes me think of her myriad Celestiatrailer. I think the play she was performing was a monodrama
When she’s changing into other people it flashes white mask, red mask, white mask, mixed mask
the black mask isn’t used a lot in this trailer and the myriad celestia trailer you can see it during her ult and when she’s changing into different people at 1:50
The Sparkle at the last shot of the trailer had both red and white mask not just white
And at 11:17 there are also black masks.
This trailer make me think that Firefly and robin is actually sparkle clone and they still alive somewhere
The Red Mask Sparkle could be Aha, especially when she's forcing the White Mask Sparkle to point the gun at her and say I am Elation!
If you see closely in the wager scene there's actually 2 sparkle there, First White shots herself first - it missed - then got interrupted by enemies, Second Red got the gun then she shots herself 3 consecutive times - all missed, Third Red give White the gun and point at her own forehead, triggered the gun and it missed.

It's just a Monodrama, a play for her own entertainment.

Some stuff that's really interesting with the conversation is that it feels like the part of her that's just there for the PURE sense of elation isn't "Killing" herself as much as it is "cutting the strings" of her stray personalities that are scared or unsure of committing to the full feelings of elation.

And I notice the Colours mask too, is soo weird, during the whole trailer we have Red Sparkle, White Sparkle and the Half White Half Red Sparkle.
In most moment is Red Sparkle killing White Sparkle, but then Half Sparkle seem to be the real one in control if we have a split personality thing
I personally don't like the idea of the Mask ACTUALLY being a Supernatural 3rd Party, because idk, one chooses to join the masked fools when they choose to follow Elation, so why controlling them? Idk
Uf the do the "Supernatural Mask" I expect some GOOD CRAZY explanation
I skipped Dang Heng IL for the second time for her.
I don't regret it.
Sparkle is PERFECT! Russian roulette is PERFECT for her!!
Collecting all GOOD LUCK to win Sparkle
you missed the detail when the red and white mask mixed together making one mask one side is white and then the other side is red
wow that trailer hits hard the music was so good and the the way she just kept shooting herself
The music is fantastic! And yes, I love the crazy lol XD
All I see is green flags.
Fun Fact: She shares a VA with Pomni from the Amazing Digital Circus.
She can really nail the insane voice!
Her saying she is elation seems to obviously reference aha
You should be able to use > and < to scroll frame by frame
Bro why us this making me think that all that will happen next, will lead back to Sparkle as she now plays every character, including our friends. I can also see her playing our hearts by offing all our friends and including the new ones
There are 4 masks, red, white, redwhite, and black. 11:17

I'm here since Fontaine arc playthrough (not that long, but still) and I can't get used to how Tsuki's eyes go oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
It's just a classic Tsuki quirk at this point lol
HSR knows what they're doing! Hits so hard and so many boxes!
What an intriguing character they made. I hope we get to learn more. Also I've enjoyed your reactions and break downs
"Fool" is pretty much not just in English too but even in Japan. Like the famous one being Oda Nobunaga the Fool of Owari.
And literally he's acting dumb while developing the world's FIRST gun volley ever to be exist... Yeah, that's just how HUGE 3-line gunfire he invented... Even to this day any war would uses exactly that gun volley formation.
So being the "Fool" isn't bad at all... Its actually a compliment and Oda Nobunaga gladly take that name.
9:32 i wonder if that bear is an allusion to the bear in Golden Hour who changes appearance depending on what emotion you give them with clockwork.
also this trailer definitely makes me believe sparkle is not just a pathstrider but an emanator of elation.
Truly an Elation character. Her bullets remind me a lot of the colorful damage numbers (aftertaste damage) of the elation path in simulated universe.
Hu Tao inhaling something really good.
I thought the Masked Fools refer to The Fool of the Major arcana and that’s why they are not “stupid”. Which can also be interpreted as the protagonist of the mysteries of life. I just assumed it because of Black Swan😂
I don't need any more Harmony characters...
But I want Sparkle anyways. The fox mask really does it for me and I love her chaos energy, think she has a lot of potential for an interesting core character and an alternative character interpretation
cant remembering that happening in my last rewatch of Madoka Magica xd
that really went even wilder then the last one
Main takeaway story-wise for this trailer is Sparkle can be anyone at any time. She could be Black Swan. She could be Acheron. She could be anyone. Everyone is Sparkle and Sparkle is everyone.
1:44 one of Aha mask
This has serious madoka vibes
really liked how you actually went through and broke it down!
I loved this trailer so much!!! Stay strong me... STAY STRONG!! Your react has been the best I have seen so far amazing job on the vid! ❤
Edit: During the face change scene in legionzgaming react he had a theory that Hanabi might have been firefly.
I love how this trailer show's off how Insane Sparkle can be.
Though I have a theory that everything shown in this trailer and maybe the Myriad as well was all in her head and she has to struggle with the insanity of Elation from day to day, possibly because she is an Emanator of Elation.
I mean shit, she might not even be real!
(I copied this from a comment I left somewhere else)
Sparkle reminds me pf Kurumi on date a live
The revolver has 6 rounds. There were only 5 shot at the end.
I didn't expect this
I'm curious of the significance of her playing with a kendama.
When the red mask falls into the water it becomes half red and half white and that's the mask you see the one at the very end wearing.
Very nice detailed reaction video!
LSD Magical girl
Also I noticed every time she shot herself or expressions changed
going to pull hard. No jades would be left after her banner.
For us ordinary folk, it's REAL TALK. But for Sparkle, it's REAL JOKES. But with that said, my 70 wishes are ready and hoping to get her early guaranteed soon 🙏
I am so happy that I am near hard pity so I can pull sparkle and save for archeon after
also also, her main colors are black, red and white... the colors of gamble cards
I’m infinitely upset that her walk animation isn’t her skipping.
Are you going to watch the trailer with Chinese voice next?
I get a lot of kurumi aka nightmare from date a live in this trailer
0:55 i think they look like Himeko, Welt and March 7th 🤔
Sparkle trailer is like a trip in my sociopathic brain 😂
Told you her acting was her elation path
Jerome's joker and Kurumi reference🤤
She's just sitting there.... smugly 👀
when i tell you that i actually leaped from my chair, hands on my head, pacing back and forth. i love unhinged women.
Kurumi can t be fixed guys sorry
This kinda supporting my theory for the last trailer. What I think that sparkle is not a particular person, but those who embrace the idea presented by the (red)mask. A white mask could represent the original personality of sparkle which a red one is the idea of elation. And the change of the mask might means that sparkle is accepting it, or letting elation be a part of her. And anyone could choose to be sparkle, enjoying herself, performing a monodrama on the largest stage, which is the world. Too bad, most of us can’t bear the cost of it and have no courage to do so.
What of the black masks at 11:17?
@@Utrilus I am not sure. But I think it showcase that she has a full control of her power, being able to become anyone. It is like those masks at the end represent different people or personalities that she could choose to become. Because in the last trailer, we see Sparkle being a different person. The mask behaviour changes along the trailer, from not the same as her own emotion -> sharing same emotion -> being totally opposite. It feels like a process of getting know to ourselves, being ourselves and eventually losing ourselves possibly because of the environment, pressure or any other factors. What I am saying here is like, how a person look like can be completely different in front of his teacher, family, friends or only himself. (This concept is in fact heavy in Asian culture, everyone has tons of faces just like a mask to protect themselves). And now she is able to choose how she is freely (picking whichever mask she wants).
If I had a nickel for every time a vtuber I watch related this trailer to Arcane, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but damn, it happened twice?
the other once was Mina Aoyama by the way
Kurumi! She's basically Kurumi!
Love your analysis :)
