I can feel the blood rushing to my brain as the urge to explain honkai lore in depth to people who no doubt will not understand it overcomes me i cry, for i am consumed by a force beyond the veil of conscious cognition.
Ive learned to explain the honkai story by using parallels to Naruto. That way I can give them the general gist of things while not giving too much away
Kiana and Mei aren't just close, they're literally lovers but unfortunately due to China laws, can't explicity show it in-game. It is so heavily implied that if it is anything otherwise, I think the community would freak out.
The only canon relationship is Bronya and Seele. Nobody has ever confirmed that Kiana and Mei are more than best friends. Bronya and Seele literally kissed and Seele confessed to Bronya
@@KamelYellow You're not wrong, but that kiss was more than enough proof. Mei and Kiana though? That's a toss up. It'd be cool if they are but at the same time, i'd go that length for someone i love as a friend platonically so it's hard to tell.
@@MrShamus22 if they were two actual real life people? Maybe. But as video game characters it's pretty clear kiana and mei are written to be lovers or at least having feelings for eachother. There's just way too many hints
the circle of honkai players got suggested, got depressed, suggest a friend, friend got depressed, friend bring another friend, repeats its depression impact party xD
I've always wanted to sit my friends down and introduce them to the animated shorts but figured that without literal hours of context it wouldn't be as cool as I'm imagining it to be. However this video shows me that regardless people get invested even if they lack all the details. So I might actually do it.
little spoiler about Kallen's death: basically the honkai beast that killed her was released by Otto to crash the execution and that's why Otto is fighting a giant version of the same honkai beast near the imaginary tree. + he didn't saved her properly speaking, he created other timelines where she survived (basically created one universe where she didn't die from the attack, saved her and then this one timeline sprouted an infinite amount of others based on the fact that Kallen survived)
The herrschers are like incarnations of the honkai. The will of the honkai, the actual queen, is way different. They are essentially the ace for taking down humanity, and when one fails another is made to kill them in a different way. Basically going “Damn, I was sure space and portals type shit would work. Welp, let’s try fire this time? How about death itself? Mind control? What to choose…”
after a while it becomes easy to tell who has and hasnt seen these HI3 animations, veterans of these scenes get choked up watching scenes like final lesson and i could tell u was fighting back the tears with your friend there which isnt easy
1:05:20 That trailer was shown at the end of the first concert alongside the trailer for APHO 2 as promotional material. Reburn 1 (The first video) and Reburn 2 (That Star Rail reveal Trailer) are both non-canon animations, with Reburn 1 being an animation possibility made by Welt as the robot Kiana is fighting is the character from the Anime he makes
I think reburn 1 is a tad bit canon to the story because the one riding Araharo is Mei stopping Kiana from going alone (foreshadowing to Lament of the Fallen)
Im not sure if anyone noticed but the friend was feeling sleepy during the sentient Fu Hao fight scean...I think he was feeling sleepy a bit earlier but he was fighting to keep awake....Thats called dedication.
Otto literally has a kill count in the *dozens* of *B I L L I O N S* all so he can save his dead crush and alter the timeline and in doing so caused his existence to end at that exact moment in time across every timeline
@dohalimilqarasdeldemenanci8483 nah you did not just say that when there's many official shit showing them doing couple shit like a romantic boatride, sitting next to each other under a cherry blossom tree, and not only that but the immense love Sakura has for Kallen for saving her. Mei also says Kiana is the most important person in her life. Seele kisses Bronya. Bronya promises to bring Seele to the sea, which is romantic. Ain't no way these characters aren't gay
@@WildcardKiana You must have had a sad existence if you think sitting next to each other under a sakura tree and boatride are supposed to be romantic, heck I have done that with people i barely knew. We ain't talking about Seele and Bronya btw, don't bring other characters into this.
1:25:41 When he sees the gameplay of the new Seele, I would like to see his reaction. Personally, the gameplay of the new Seele is beautiful and impressive.
Stacc, the biggest reason _HI3_ is as good as it is, and as underappreciated as it is, is because it's this intensely personal story. We go on this journey with this small group of friends, through their highs and their worst lows. We get to know them intimately, and when that happens, you can't help but be proud of them and love them, and they're just pixels, man. But you connect with them all. There's no one here who is entirely good or entirely evil, everyone's got a bit of it all in them. That's why even people who hate Otto Apocalypse also deeply respect the man. _Genshin_ will never be as good because while both games have world-level stakes, and while you get to know characters well, you leave them as soon as you're done with the story in a given region. Yeah, you'll be back for events and such, but that disconnect is such a hinderance toward building a better connection with the characters. Especially since the Travelers are intended to be such blank slates, at least in early game, and they're the ones who are with you throughout the game. _HSR_ is set up a bit better since even though you travel to different planets, you do so in the company of a core crew on the Astral Express. Dan Heng, Mitsuki Nanoka (March in Japanese), Himeko, and Welt Yang are people we will no doubt get to know very well, just like with Kiana, Mei, and Bronya in _HI3_ . And the Trailblazer, well, we'll likely learn the mystery behind them too. Oh, another reason _HI3_ is quality is because it's also Mihoyo's favourite game, and they have their best team supporting it. They do go all-out constantly on that game, and I love them for it.
A large problem in Genshin and Star rail is the lack of a main character, by that I mean they're mostly a self insert who's good at everything. Like the traveler and traiblazer consistently outclassing everybody in basically all aspects. Museum management? check, Card game? check, Political affairs? check. Fighting tournaments? Check. Detective work? check. It doesn't matter what it is but the Traveler and Trailblazer will be there to solve the problems. It makes it very hard to have actual stakes in the game, like in star rail we're introduced to how terrible the path of destruction is, yet we don't actually feel any of the problems caused by it. It's just kinda there in the background. Honkai impact doesn't have this problem because the captain isn't main story relevant (technically he is, but that's a rabbit hole, and takes roughly 3 hours to explain and breaks several layers of 4th wall) but in essence Kiana isn't the player, Kiana is Kiana and she's not the greatest person to grace the earth, she's downright incompetent at the start. And I say that with all the love and admiration to Kiana. And she faces many problems she can't fix or downright end terribly. Basically we're looking over the shoulder of cast of characters as an observer, where in genshin and star rail we're experiencing the story through the eyes of a singular (or set) of characters, that sounds like a small difference but the effects are huge. The stories are also focused differently, Honkai impact presents us with a problem and then proceeds to focus on how that problem shapes the world and its people, and only very minorly deviates from it generally to flesh out plot important people. Both star rail and genshin aren't focused on a singular problem but rather are about discovering the mysteries and cultures of their respective universes, there for sure is an overarching plot, but it takes a back seat role compared to honkai impact. Final note, I think a large part of the focus in honkai is possible because characters have multiple versions, multiple battlesuits. This means that for multiple patches in a row you can have content around the same characters, where in star rail and genshin they need to keep feeding you new faces, constantly making you get to know new people that then are almost never relevant again to the story.
To those saying Kiana and Mei are canon, they aren’t. The only confirmed canon relationship is Bronya and Seele. Nobody has ever confirmed that Kiana and Mei are more than best friends
The biggest flex of HI3rd animations is that they are VERY tropy but so well done even someone that knows nothing about events of the game can get invested in them. Again it doesn't matter how "cliche" your story is when your characters are written in a way that makes you want to know what happens next to them.
A wild context on Otto Apocalypse that not many people caught in the story (and this is about to get a little complicated bear with me), is that Su (one of the 'psychic' flame-chasers who was tasked with finding a potential future where humanity would win) did at some point get into contact with Otto and revealed things to him. It is all but confirmed that Otto's actions to be the fool that took on the role as a villain were a mandatory prerequisite for humanity (specifically Sirin, as clone K-423 "Kiana") to eventually surpass finality. It is important to note that for hundreds if not thousands of years Su had sought for a way to beat the Honkai and never found it while exploring countless bubble universes. Meaning that the circumstances of this being possible are extremely specific and astronomically small. So the fact that Otto seemed selfish in saving Kallen was just him carving out a little reward for himself for basically having to be the worst human in history, his wishes aligned with 'the greater good' after all. It puts his whole "fool" moniker into context. Just think about it without Otto there would be no Kiana as we know her, there would not have been a series of events that would lead up to Kiana having the physical and mental fortitude to bear the weight of finality. Without Otto putting her and the rest of the world through quite literally hell, there wouldn't have been the impetus required to overcome Honkai. Yes Otto's an asshole, but a mandatory one. He's a villain but at the same time in the end he's catalyst that caused the trio to save humanity. It's bittersweet because you can't call Otto a hero because of all the evil he's done yet undeniably without him humanity would have been doomed. Also this whole needing to sacrifice for a greater good is a common theme in Honkai, Kevin's story for example is filled with it, and he too is the greatest example of sacrificing himself to be an insurmountable obstacle to overcome, after all he couldn't stop honkai so if you can't stop him you don't stand a chance. He had to be the stepping stone. But that's a whole different story I shouldn't get into. Su contacting Otto was revealed in the moon arc when they also revealed what the heck was up with that not-hyperion battle ship in chapter 1.
Star Rail is the sequel to a spinoff game mode, literally only one confirmed (possibly three total) character carries over between the games and its basically Hoyo's CEO's self insert Welt Yang
Something to note, most of the Honkai Impact 3rd 3D animations were done by Wonderium and miHoYo Anime. The Genshin Impact Anime will be done by ufotable (known for Fate Zero, Fate UBW, and Demon Slayer) with direction from Hoyoverse (formerly Mihoyo).
I JUST realized Bronya said she had prosthetic legs at the beginning of the game, but her later battlesuits (Silverwing NEX, HOR and HOTR I'm not sure of) have normal legs with no sign of prosthetic features like attachment, does this mean she regrew/replicated human legs as herrscherr of reason to replace her prosthetics in the deep? Unless it's a continuity error Edit: The fact that man is named Kevin was acrually a joke from the earliest Honkai game GGZ and its so funny
Welt from Impact is literally the same Welt on Star Rail. He's the only thing that connects the 2 universes together. Fun Fact. :) OH, and yes, thats the same train on Star Rail hehe
Something cool to react to is Seele's One Day Adventure. It's a neat animation for an old event that has never been re-run. If you want vocals, you'll want to search up something like CN dubbed, EN subbed because in the regular clients, the JP VAs were not available or something to record.
I stopped playing Honkai after ending the graduation trip chapter. It actually made drop Honkai because I was really connected to kiana in a way that I saw all myself in her. And idk like ik is a “Happy ending” but after watching this reaction and feeling the same I felt since that cinematic came out… I’m not ready yet to turn back to Honkai. But still my favorite game and story of all time…
Nice! Captain Sxmmy sharing the love! 44Stacc better start playing too bro! Dude you shoulda showed him the trailers too specially Rita's Vampire Sex Music!
Reburn, Bronya and Return II aren't canonical. They are like official fanfics or concept art. Every short that is not shown in the game should be taken as non cannon.
actually the setting for hi3 is another universe or version from ggz game story (like another branch of imaginary tree) but ggz had the worst ending, and the hsr story start at the beginning "after post honkai odyssey", another hi3 story that begun because of void archive (old friend of otto, one of divine key) make a deal with alien that might be more dangerous than honkai to eliminate remnant of honkai on the moon. and fyi the train (astral express) is another divine key called cosmic juggernaut
Ngl, if they actually bring Carole to HSR I will lose my shit fr!! I'm already loving Seele and Bronya (in all her forms) bring in the game since I've loved them from D1 in HI3. I'm also hoping there might be a version of Rita in the future as well as Bianca. But Carole is definitely one of my favorites in HI3 (APHO part that is). But the only character from HI3 I would be as stoked to see in HSR as Carole would be Elysia but not sure how they would make that happen. Carole is obviously more viable.
@@Solution_CC I would be fine with this as there is a resemblance not just in appearance but also their "bubbly" personalities and wanting to always "create and cherish memories". And we at this point know absolutely noting about March 7th's past except she was frozen in ice.
The trailer that you’re confused about was the Honkai Star Rail concept/announcement trailer that debuted at one of the Honkai Impact 3rd concerts. At the time we assumed Carole was going to be part of HSR as well, but ultimately she was not.
damn!! i loved watching your video!! im a mad genshin fan and i love hoyoverse and i just wanted to watch some videos of HI3. I love the little bits of content u mention and i can see how much the story means to u! Also the animations are fire!!
damn i played this game from release until god kiana release in early 2019 and i thought i somewhat knew the lore. mfw the 3rd cinematic was all ive ever seen
i remember back when you and don collab , don said he'll be spreading the story of honkai impact but now you are the one spreading it instead . your friend seems to enjoy the pv , maybe you can have him react to those or honkai chronicle 1 for detail of the honkai verse history and even others if he does not mind spoilers .
FYI they made action figures for Void Drifter Kiana and Umbral Rose Rita. I _will_ get them both. I hope they make more. Only figure I have from _Genshin_ though is Mona's figma. They didn't make any more after that. Unfortunate. I have the artbook from _HI3_ 's anniversary though.

He's a villain but at the same time in the end he's catalyst that caused the trio to save humanity. It's bittersweet because you can't call Otto a hero because of all the evil he's done yet undeniably without him humanity would have been doomed.
Also this whole needing to sacrifice for a greater good is a common theme in Honkai, Kevin's story for example is filled with it, and he too is the greatest example of sacrificing himself to be an insurmountable obstacle to overcome, after all he couldn't stop honkai so if you can't stop him you don't stand a chance. He had to be the stepping stone. But that's a whole different story I shouldn't get into.
Su contacting Otto was revealed in the moon arc when they also revealed what the heck was up with that not-hyperion battle ship in chapter 1.
Star Rail is the sequel to a spinoff game mode, literally only one confirmed (possibly three total) character carries over between the games and its basically Hoyo's CEO's self insert Welt Yang
most underrated channel. ya both slay
Future captain in the making...
If he becomes a new recruit, now you have someone you can truly say you carry 👀
🤣
Something to note, most of the Honkai Impact 3rd 3D animations were done by Wonderium and miHoYo Anime. The Genshin Impact Anime will be done by ufotable (known for Fate Zero, Fate UBW, and Demon Slayer) with direction from Hoyoverse (formerly Mihoyo).
I JUST realized Bronya said she had prosthetic legs at the beginning of the game, but her later battlesuits (Silverwing NEX, HOR and HOTR I'm not sure of) have normal legs with no sign of prosthetic features like attachment, does this mean she regrew/replicated human legs as herrscherr of reason to replace her prosthetics in the deep? Unless it's a continuity error
Edit: The fact that man is named Kevin was acrually a joke from the earliest Honkai game GGZ and its so funny
The core of reason repaired Bronya’s legs so any battle suit past HoR won’t have the prosthetic legs
Not the kebin slander, poor dude☠️
52:20 not REALLY evil just... throwing a potentially Earth shattering tantrum . #YATTA
you can see and feel how he struggling not to cry during Final Lesson
Welt from Impact is literally the same Welt on Star Rail. He's the only thing that connects the 2 universes together. Fun Fact. :) OH, and yes, thats the same train on Star Rail hehe
yeah now gotta show him the honkai chronicles
The Cyle of life, now your the one leading your friends into Depression after we led you to it. 😂😂
Something cool to react to is Seele's One Day Adventure. It's a neat animation for an old event that has never been re-run. If you want vocals, you'll want to search up something like CN dubbed, EN subbed because in the regular clients, the JP VAs were not available or something to record.
I stopped playing Honkai after ending the graduation trip chapter. It actually made drop Honkai because I was really connected to kiana in a way that I saw all myself in her. And idk like ik is a “Happy ending” but after watching this reaction and feeling the same I felt since that cinematic came out… I’m not ready yet to turn back to Honkai. But still my favorite game and story of all time…
Nice! Captain Sxmmy sharing the love! 44Stacc better start playing too bro! Dude you shoulda showed him the trailers too specially Rita's Vampire Sex Music!
First time watcher, I saw that intro with both people jamming after the drop and I knew I was at the right place.
Mei and kiana are actually together on a romantic basis 🫣
I never get tired of hearing Saber saying “Calibur” in your intro. Dude its incredible
I won’t lie I thought you already did this with stacc before I was so wrong 😂
Oh yeah, Mei and Kiana are close "friends" XD
Hasnt gotten to elysian Realm yet kevins story about had me in tears man has been through it.
I can't cry again. Not again. Not *sniff* aga- *start crying*
To more easily explain stuff, direct people to the Honkai Operation Center videos
Star rail and impact 3rd are connected in some ways, it’s the same universe more or less, i hope they will explain a lot in Star Rail of what happened
It's complicated. Universal answer on all question about Honkai Impact 3rd.
I cant believe Im watching a reaction about this again after only watching Dukaja, and literally just finished it.
the welt in the star rail trailer is the welt from HI3, who went to HSR. Same dude.
“my wife” my man fell in love with a lesbian 💀
XD 😂😂 me too
Mizuki pfp
Reburn, Bronya and Return II aren't canonical.
They are like official fanfics or concept art.
Every short that is not shown in the game should be taken as non cannon.
A new recruit? I see you, Sxmmy!
It's so great to see how the animation got better and better
Book One is Kiana's story and has 30 ish chapters. Seele's story is currently unfolding. Theres speculation that Susanna is Book Two.
my man, spreading the word. king move
As a simp, Kevin.
Is mighty FINE. I like him.
We need more Kevin simps
actually the setting for hi3 is another universe or version from ggz game story (like another branch of imaginary tree) but ggz had the worst ending, and the hsr story start at the beginning "after post honkai odyssey", another hi3 story that begun because of void archive (old friend of otto, one of divine key) make a deal with alien that might be more dangerous than honkai to eliminate remnant of honkai on the moon.
and fyi the train (astral express) is another divine key called cosmic juggernaut
Because of you video always leaves me depressed with damn tears
Thank God there's new reactor.... I'm so thirst for new player reaction
History would describe them as close friends?? I think we know what they are lmao 😭😭
Ngl, if they actually bring Carole to HSR I will lose my shit fr!! I'm already loving Seele and Bronya (in all her forms) bring in the game since I've loved them from D1 in HI3. I'm also hoping there might be a version of Rita in the future as well as Bianca. But Carole is definitely one of my favorites in HI3 (APHO part that is). But the only character from HI3 I would be as stoked to see in HSR as Carole would be Elysia but not sure how they would make that happen. Carole is obviously more viable.
there's a lot of people speculating that March 7th could be Elysia...
@@Solution_CC I would be fine with this as there is a resemblance not just in appearance but also their "bubbly" personalities and wanting to always "create and cherish memories". And we at this point know absolutely noting about March 7th's past except she was frozen in ice.
Amazing idea, now you felt exactly the same as when we watched your first reactions to the animations XD
Should have a "It's complicated" counter lol
Otto loved Kallen but Kallen loved Yae that’s deep man 💔 they actually got married in one of the comics I think I mean Yae and Kallen
The trailer that you’re confused about was the Honkai Star Rail concept/announcement trailer that debuted at one of the Honkai Impact 3rd concerts. At the time we assumed Carole was going to be part of HSR as well, but ultimately she was not.
You should let him react to the character trailers too
And so the cycle continues
damn!! i loved watching your video!! im a mad genshin fan and i love hoyoverse and i just wanted to watch some videos of HI3. I love the little bits of content u mention and i can see how much the story means to u! Also the animations are fire!!
Fun fact Raven is also in star rail :P (Her real name is Natasha btw since raven is just her code name, and they both raise orphaned children :D)
Sammy should be experimented on for the amount of hype energy he has. Maybe we'll become a type 2 civilization if we harness him.
The fact that honkai and star rail are connected because Welt is the same person literally
Ah, i see. Common depression player recommended their friends to play depression game. Truely a Honkai player
'i wish you could hear the full version of the song' as he proceeds to skip the full version of the song..
"This thing gave me fetish for antoganist with side grin" bro is like me fr fr. Senti is literally an awakening. All Heil Great Herrscher of Yatta!
shoulda let the credits rock while you recover
26:13 Be careful with what you ask for I guess…¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m HOOKED 👀
“they are very close friends” bro be quiet you know they’re in love 😂😂
damn i played this game from release until god kiana release in early 2019 and i thought i somewhat knew the lore. mfw the 3rd cinematic was all ive ever seen
Raidens show of love is combat :)
The Sea of Quanta is not Hell, dude.
i remember back when you and don collab , don said he'll be spreading the story of honkai impact but now you are the one spreading it instead .
your friend seems to enjoy the pv , maybe you can have him react to those or honkai chronicle 1 for detail of the honkai verse history and even others if he does not mind spoilers .
he's new but he already know "fuck otto" 😭😭😂
10:23 He knows XD
"it´s complicated!"
9:10 was too funny
Waiting for the reaction to something and he misses it, that's really a viewer thing normally ahaha
FYI they made action figures for Void Drifter Kiana and Umbral Rose Rita. I _will_ get them both. I hope they make more. Only figure I have from _Genshin_ though is Mona's figma. They didn't make any more after that. Unfortunate. I have the artbook from _HI3_ 's anniversary though.
Try not to tear up at himiko challenge, impossible
