    Something to note about our conversations with Acheron is that the answer we choose when she speaks in red text can change how she remembers things during our next meeting.
    Choose the correct options during your dream encounter and she will tell you that she knows its your room and found it sus when she saw Aventurine entering (she still got lost tho).
    Give the correct options after Aventurine leaves and she will later tell you inside memory zone that she got send there by Sparkle/Hanabi without warning or explanation.
    However, it seems she is honest with us in either outcome. The red text kinda tells us if *Acheron is confused* or *Acheron will remember that* for the next encounter with her.

    The only reason I don't believe Acheron in an antagonist and is actually one of the more trustworthy characters in Penacony so far is how genuine she is when she got lost like Zoro, and that very short funeral she held in memory of Firefly. While it is true she is hiding something, especially with showing off her true powers that we do get a hint of in the White Night MV, I really can't call her a villain. The opening scene where she asks the Trailblazer questions felt like a vibe check to see if they are ready to experience the Penacony story, of which we see Acheron shed a tear hinting that she might knowledge of the possible heartaches they might experience.
    Edit: Also being an Emanator doesn't automatically mean evil. It just means she is very powerful. Aventurine might have made it seem like they're evil because of our experience with Phantylia. He did study the Trailblazer and as a merchant it's a handful skill to be able to charm their customers, to be closer to us and make use of the Astral Express. Black Swan did warn us to scrutinize everything he says.

      This!
      It's mentioned at one point that she fights with her blade in it's sheath, rarely drawing the blade. I think when she draws her sword she reaches her true power/ unleashes something she can't control. She hesitated to draw her blade during the firefly moment in case she killed the trailblazer/ black swan as well as the meme, which is in turn why Black Swan says she saved us from Acheron when she takes us to Aventurine - she had drawn her blade against Sam and so was locked into "kill everything mode".
      I feel like something is going to happen that allows her to gain control over that power so she can reliably fight alongside us in future.

      It is true that Black Swan said to scrutinize things Aventurine says, but she also says he’s probably the most trustworthy person we can align with. It’s a weird duality that I don’t quite get. How can you find someone trustworthy, but then say you shouldn’t trust their words at face value? At least Black Swan herself seems like a good, well natured woman (given her voicelines in game).

      Sam ignoring Trailblazer might be because he isn't hostile against Trailblazer. Since as far as I know, the relation between Astral Express and Stellaron Hunter is that of a frenemies.
      Not to mention if Sam is truly related to Firefly, who is a good friend with Trailblazer, then Sam couldn't have been hostile towards Trailblazer especially.

    My suspicion is that the Acheron we originally met in the dream at the beginning was actually Black Swan.
    Both of them respond the same way when being told that they can't do something, by simply replying, "Why not?". Black Swan does it to Sparkle, and Acheron does it in the dream. Black Swan has the ability to temporarily remove people's memories, which is what is happening to Acheron. She also mentions having the ability to predict the future based on memories.

    One observation I have that no one seems to be talking about is the symbol on Acheron's sword (and shoulder pad). It looks so much like the stigma of death used in both honkai 3rd and honkai gakuen. Aventurine mentioned Acheron as an emanator who brings death and finality. I don't know if there is an Aeon of Death so I'm not really sure what to make of this. Just throwing it out there.

    • @Maevix3142
      @Maevix3142  9 місяців тому

      As far as I know canonically theres no mention of an aeon of death so I suppose the closest would be finality given it represents the end of everything but maybe thats more akin to oblivion. Hmm im kinda wondering now whether there is such an aeon to represent death. Then again there are aeons that represents aspects of it like destruction

    I suspect Acheron isn't affiliated with any of the paths Aventurine named (though of those, Finality has the greatest probability IMHO). Rather, I think she is an emenator of IX/Nihility. If that is so, I think her psyche may have been fragmented by IX's gaze and her "memory loss" is more a function of not having conscious access to portions of her mind. This, in turn, would protect her from Memokeepers like Black Swan, who would possibly have to cross a psychic "effect horizon" to access those memories. All speculation on my part, but that's where I am at the moment.

  • @archeri2000
    @archeri2000 9 місяців тому +1

    I have a bit of a different take. Aventurine says that Duke Inferno didn't make it to Penacony and that he was killed en route, following it up with the statement that a mysterious individual claiming to be a galaxy ranger arrives on Penacony carrying a music box (an invitation). I think he might genuinely be telling the truth, as Black Swan suggests, but that doesn't mean we should take his words at face value given how crafty he is. He merely mentions these two facts in succession and implies a causal link between them, but we have no reason to accept this implication.
    While it's true that Duke Inferno didn't make it (which Black Swan confirms too, and we see this in her myriad celestia trailer), Acheron may not be the one to have done it. As another commenter has pointed out, the opening scene hammers home the point that invitations can't simply be transferred. However, we see Acheron roaming the hotel and able to access the VIP section where our rooms are. This seems to suggest she's genuinely an invited guest.
    Who then, might be the one(s) to have attacked Duke Inferno? Well, there are at least two known unwanted "guests" on Penacony - the Stellaron Hunters, and Firefly. If they were invited to Penacony by the watchmaker, they would have their own rooms and not be pursued by the Family, and yet, both parties appear to be stowaways. How did they come to know about the invitation if they were not invited themselves? It's certainly possible that one or the other attacked Duke Inferno and found out about this, but being unable to use the invitation, had to resort to sneaking into the dreamscape in order to participate.
    Aventurine may or may not be aware of this, but perhaps he merely came into possession of the knowledge and decided the best way to convince (mislead) the trailblazer is to present it in such a way that it implies Acheron is a villain, when in reality, the two facts may be completely unrelated.

    I think Aventurine has a very legit reason to worry about Acheron.
    Through Aventurine we can see even the IPC struggles to find out who she really is. All we get is his speculation based on little known related facts. But SOMEHOW Acheron was allowed to access Penacony with a STOLEN invitation. Meanwhile, Trailblazer got in trouble for replacing Dan Heng in the reservation list.
    It is possible that he thinks The Family knows her more than him and IPC, which allows The Family to get an upper hand on things.

    I figured I could give a bit of an insight on Raiden Mei but this does include spoilers for part 1 of Honkai Impact.
    So to first talk about Mei, we nede to talk about the Herrschers and why they exist. Basically, a higher existence known as Cocoon of Finality is trying to embrace humanity but in the process, Honkai born through its influnence destroys civilization. There were many theories by the game’s cast on what exactly the Honkai was and since the characters are unreliable narrators, it should be taken with a grain of salt. I remember a character saying that the Honkai would get stronger as the civilization progressed. But that is a different topic.
    50k years before the current timeline in the game, known as the Previous Era, the Cocoon of Finality tried to embrace humanity but killed almost every human in the planet besides the organization MOTH. Which later became The World Serpent under Kevin’s leadership in the Current Era. In the MOTH, there were individuals that were genetically modified with Honkai Beast genes and became MANTIS. After the iirc 11th Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding killed almost all the MANTIS, the remaining ones became the public figures known as the 13 Flamechasers. The second flamechaser Elysia apparently was not really changed by the MANTIS operation and as humanity was doomed because all of the remaining major cities getting nuked, Elysia figured she was a Herrscher. But unlike the other Herrschers that were born through the Cocoon of Finality’s influence to mindlessly wreak havoc, Elysia had always been a Herrscher and she had always had her human mind. Noticing that Elysia was actually the first Herrscher and the only Herrscher with humanity, she was called both Herrscher of Origin and Herrscher of Human. Her in game battle suit is named Herrscher of Human: Ego, symbolizing her “Ego” signet as one of the 13 flamechasers. At the end, Elysia goes to the (presumably) Cocoon of Finality and “sacrifices” (we don’t see what happens beside Elysia setting off towards the sunset lol) to make the next Herrschers Herrschers of Human. And she succeeded as most of the Current Era Herrschers are very humanoid and some even retain their own persona. There is major parallels between Elysia and Jesus btw. Elysia was always enamored by humans and human creations such as cities. It can be argued that no action that happened was a negative to the Cocoon of Finality, it wanted embrace and it would obtain it either way regardless if it gave humanity the power to oppose it.
    Then, an AI robot PROMETHEUS also hacks into the Cocoon of Finality to ensure that the Herrschers to come in the “Current Era” are the same as the ones that came before. But as a result of this, she creates an ego connected to the Cocoon of Finality named “Will of Honkai”. There are many plot points around this but skipping to the Mei part.
    In the later chapters of part 1, Mei is in a simulation world that have simulated versions of the 13 flamechasers and she tries to learn of the truth behind the existence of Will of Honkai. She learns of Elysia being the Herrscher of Origin but cannot learn anything about the Will of Honkai because it did not exist in the Previous Era. There is a whole murder mystery in the Elysian Realm simulation as the Herrscher of Corruption is corrupting the data. Almost everybody (not that they were truly alive anyways) dies and Elysia also disappears, Mei recreates Elysia from memories of her from the other Flamechasers and herself and Elysia fights off the Herrscher of Corruption as Mei escapes.
    As the main character cast are preparing to fight against Kevin with the Authority of Finality, they detect some sort distress signal and Mei figures that it was left from the Previous Era and so she could maybe obtain the Authority of Origin. She finds out that it was just a memory fragment/ message but through plot and willpower she connects to Elysia and inherits the Authority of Origin.
    It should be noted that we don’t really know what powers Origin even has. It is probably time related but other than that, it is not really known. It wasn’t even supposed to exist in the Current Era either because the Herrschers appearances are set in stone because of the Will of Honkai. Although it is unlikely that Mei acquired the Authority of Origin through an influence other than the Cocoon of Finality, she did bypass PROMETHEUS’ rule and truly inherited the will of the flamechasers and Elysia.
    One thing explicitly stated even in the character trailers for Finality Kiana and Origin Mei was that “Origin is an end and the finality is a beginning”. For narrative purposes, Herrschers are basically Emanators. The Aeon of Finality may or may not be related to the Cocoon of Finality. Though obviously the scaling is different.
    I would say it would fit Mei more to be a follower of the Hunt but I don’t think that is likely for Acheron.

    since not everyone has played Honkai Impact 3rd have some side info:
    1. Acheron describes depending of the gender of the Trailblazer as said friend from the past either Kiana (the one she stood shoulder to shoulder) or Kevin (the one she crossed blades with)
    2. Acheron quotes a character from Honkai Impact 3rd being Yae Sakura (the Yae Miko Expy), almost word for word being "No compassion for for the enemy for that is cruelty on yourself (...).
    3. Similar to how Ei has a twin in Genshin and Acheron has a second "persona" of some sorts from the leaks of her Ult in HI3 Raiden Mei has also a second persona which is the Herrscher of Thunder (mind you she herself later becomes said Herrscher of Thunder but what I specifically mean is the Herrscher Persona that is already in the Herrscher Core which later gives her her powers)
    4. Funfact Kiana is at the End of the Game literally the Herrscher of Finality to Acheron serving under Finality again adds onto the HI3 connections and gives a somewhat bitter sweet taste for the fate of our possible Kiana expy in the future :"D
    I really love your Video just wanted to add some details so some Text Acheron says makes more sense!

    You mentioned you weren't familiar with Honkai impact so I highly recommend you look into that to understand Acheron better, since the GI expy of Raiden Mei isn't nearly as close to her HI3 counterpart as this one. In fact, Acheron directly quotes Yae Sakura and heavily implies that the person the MC reminds her of is a Kaslana (Kiana or Kevin depending on which gender is your Trailblazer)

    After the new animation short, I think it's safe to say that she DID kill the Duke Inferno. As for the path she is following, it's very possible that it's Nihility or cope theory, she is an Emanator of two paths (but very unlikely). While I am more inclined to believe that Aventurine might be using us, I do believe in Black Swan because she did literally saved us from Acheron. I assume that the animation happened before the Trailblaze quest happen and AFTER her companion quest, which meant she knew how dangerous Acheron can get and literally did save us from Acheron before things get messy in the battle with Sam. As for the red text, I assume its crazy bitch form that is speaking 😭

    You should think of her as a Star Rail equivalent of a Herrscher. The Herrscher of Nihility if you will. If she was meant to be our enemy we would certainly know it. She will probably be like an anti-hero. Its Mei, and regardless of what universe shes in, shes never been evil. Though i must say an evil Mei would be awesome and terrifying 😅😅. Remember when our beloved Kiana was the Herrscher of the end and literally kills everyone way back when? It could happen here i suppose though i doubt it. They usually want us to love Mei ❤

    If I had to make a guess; Acheron is potentially working for someone/something that wants to prevent a timeline that would lead to the end of the universe due to the actions of the Trailblazer defeating Nanook. While she may not truly want to end the Trailblazer, she was possibly led to believe this would lead to a 'correct' timeline.

    Acheron NEVER said she is galaxy ranger. She is very consistent how she introduce herself. "They call me Acheron the Galaxy Ranger" I interpreted it that she doesn't know herself and just go with what othernpeople told her about herself. Which perfectly lines up with Finality theory. And I suspect she was indeed part of Galaxy Rangers as no matter what Aventurine trying imply it's not mutually exclusive with being Eminator and it lomes up with her personality.

    We can't even trust Aventurine about Acheron killing the Duke
    1, As our professional racist Hanabi/Sparkle said, Aventurine comes from a race of natual born liars
    2, since discovering that Acheron forced us to let her in the team. (as in, if you deny her enough times, our options will appear in red text and change into a acceptance of her into the firefly rescue squad) She might as well have a way to get things without brutalizing someone. (Also there was no way she could normally enter that level of the dreamscape by pure accident, since BS who let us there in the first place)
    So I personally belive she didn't even met the Duke, let alone kill him
    But you know who could have killed him? Sam, he is a Stellaron Hunter, so he knows about us. He on purpose ignored us at first, and then tried reaching out for us mid battle before Archeron stopped him. Who's to say Elio didn't tell Sam to pulverize the Duke? Or even forge Duke's death?
