Hello! The script for this video was written before Chapter 2 came out. Due to my back pain, I took some time off from content creation and the editing process was very slow. That is why you'll notice that the editing in the second half of the video is not as good and polished like the first half. I'm sorry for that! But I just didn't feel well enough to go all in and I just wanted to finish this video ASAP. Chapter 2 reveals some new info that I didn't mention in the video, like how the Shus get their powers from counterfeit Astral Rings made by Baiji… and more. All the stuff revealed in Chapter 2 will be addressed in a future video, so don't worry about it! I just wanted to let you know why some info is not there is you were wondering.
That's okay! Thank you for breaking it down for us, this was very helpful, as honkai lore is SO DAMN OVERCOMPLICATED. Really, the dialogues often made me think i'm asdumb as Sena lol
What do you mean planet eater in venus? Didn't the cocoon do the same thing he did on earth but on venus until Vita triggered a Sea of Quanta Tsunami washing it away?
@@JeremyWinston-fo5fz when you read closely venusian scientist say the strongets enemy they fight was Planet Eater abyysal monster also Vita don't know about hearscher
@@MbahtedjoOfficial Venus just makes the least sense, especially now that Star Rail has shown us that it's not just a Sol system issue. Izumo had their own versions of Herrschers and well.... we all know how well that went for Mei
I was just about to say the same thing. Both of them are much more than meets the eye. Chenxue, seems on surface to be a dedicated university data scientist, but her competence slowly revealing to be much more than just a person of knowledge. Like how she handled Oxia crisis with such finesse and composure, and how she smoothly negotiated with a hot headed highly trained killer aka Tsavorae on the last chapter. Also if I'm not mistaken, she has known dreemseeker since she was a tube baby. And in the last event (the cooking event) she could shapeshifted herself into a phantom. And Songque, she seems to be the most incompetent of the seven shus, like how she always depreciate herself in discussions, and how she always backdown in a confrontation. But the fact that she's the only Shu that has been awake *thoroughly* after the great eruption, and handled Lanqiu on her own seems to suggest otherwise about her competence. On top of that, she's The Shu of Deception but hasn't been shown to deceived anything, that is sus in and of itself.... And she always collapsed at the climax moment, first she collapsed in the middle of the amber street panic incident, and then she collapsed at the end of chapter 2 when they fought Tsavorae.
They already are to me outside the Shu's no one is doing anything really Chenxue and Song really move the plot along with initiative. The main cast are too confused to do much 😢 making them not interesting 😞 Making the Shu's more of the protagonist 😂😂😂 oddly.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO, the chapter two was much more easier to follow in my opinion but oh boy, i was so confused with chapter one. now everything makes much more sense!
Thanks, I needed a Chapter 1 recap, because I was left very confused, especially about Litost. Chapter 2 was thankfully better. Something most likely just a coincidence, but a fun one: "litost" means "regret" in Czech & regret is Litost's theme because of the great sin he committed. So yeah, fun haha. I hope your back gets good soon!
Omg, nečekala jsem, že někdy narazím na internetu na českého hráče HI3 a už vůbec ne u lore videí od Homu 😳 a nemůžu si pomoci, vždycky když vidím Litostovo jméno, můj mozek si automaticky přidá čárku a čte to jako lítost 😂
@@shironeko1611 Plně chápu xdd Dělám totiž to samý :D A já rád vidím české hráče/hráčky HI3 😎 Fun fact, Homu Labs jednou použil moje traced stigma repliky ve videu (nepřekvapivě o stigmatech). Nejsem tu tedy poprvé xdd Navíc Homu dělá fakt dobrý shrnutí. Od Partu 1 se v tom trochu ztrácím, takže si rád poslechnu shrnutí :)
post chapter 2 comment here Ho boy I'm so excited for the next chapter everything is about to go down. heck I'm intrigued by what lantern said about our crew was the one making the shadows run amock and it seems like cause we keep using the astral rings and the way senadina abused astral ring to draw out the fight with lantern and how chenxue is kinda worried to what it could do to sena Baiji being the Shu of misfortune is kinda funny man wants to own up to his mistakes but seems like making things 100x worse lol. Finally some Sonque lore about to happen And during the devstream there were concerning CG's that where shown and I'm nervous lmao. Finally I'm invested in part 2 and it only took 2 chapters. Chenxue SUS af
Coralie: Is your "great Honkai eruption" this simple? Just some shadow problem? Well listen Coralie, Mars got attacked by Honkai first, Venus second, and Earth third. This means the Cocoon did different trial and errors on each planet.
This was actually so incredibly useful, thank you SO much for this video... Part 2 has been so overwhelming for me and I had no real clue anymore what was going on. Your video greatly helped!
Thank you as always for the recap. I don't know what it is about the part 2 lore but I love it so much and was immediately hooked. Songque is probably my favorite character in part 2. Can't wait to find out more about her in future chapters. Even though chapter 1 act 2 specifically wasn't my favorite it wasn't hard to understand for me at least. The only problem I had was with the timeline. There were just too many major events and figuring out in which order they happened was a bit confusing. Thanks for clearing it up now everything makes sense. I really can't wait for chapter 3. From what we have seen so far chapter 3 might be absolutely insane. I am both excited and terrified. I really hope that we see Ai and Vita at the end of chapter 3. I need them to finally go down there and join the team. They have been edging us for months now. Giving us a 2-minute scene in each chapter I can't take it anymore😭
You're mention of "Dreams" being outside of time. Reminded me of KeBin wandering through the dreams of the Honkai beast visiting Jupiter. I wonder if this is tied to the notion of a human consciousness beyond time.
The first chapter of Part 2 in 7.3 did TOO MUCH lore dumping all at once which is why I feel like the beginning got a bit slow for a while after the Senadina dance cutscene. Definitely confused a lot of new players. (A few of my friends who finally got into the game were really confused by all the Part 2 stuff) The Thelema Character Event and the next story chapter in 7.4 was A LOT better and much more enjoyable, also had a lot of great new lore about the Shu's and more. *Fingers crossed they keep on improving the story more and more.* 🤞 Thanks for the lore explanation HOMU! 👍
Part 1 started off pretty slow but once it got going it got good(well at least until near the end where quantum physics came in then it was just real confusing). Here's hoping Part 2 follows that same path.
"Litost commited a huge sin, so he locked himself up, but he thought that wasn't enough and he should suffer more"....are we sure he commited a sin and he wasn't just a masochist? Also, "I guarantee you that Songue will have a huge plot twist related to her in the end of this chapter" this aged like fine wine
In playing Honkai Impact and other Mihoyo games our brains are trained to think in metaphors, and subtext, which is why we understand this Gordian knot of a story, the newbies just haven't gotten used to it. They'll eventually get there. After star Rail I have mix feeling on the word dreams being uttered.
i kinda was hoping this would recap chapter 1 of part 2 and some of the confusing topics they covered, instead this introduced even more confusing stuff for me
You are our Cocoon of LORE explanations!!!! The story got so complicated after chapter 26 that i needed someone to explain to my little brain what was going on. Love you man
Thanks a lot Homu for the explanations regarding the timeline, the world setting, the parallels to Honkai and about the Shus. I gave up from trying to digest Litost and the dog plot though, too much confusing 😮💨
I understood the lore, but thank you for explaining the characters. The amount of Shoes and who they are what made me do a click rush through their parts lol
First and foremost i hope your back gets better soon! Great video, made everything a lot clearer for me since it was kinda hard to follow imo. As usual thanks for the lore drop and please keep on posting great content like you always do.
I really appreciate your hard work! i just got back to honkai impact and actually I skipped a lots of story part and missed out huge lore but now I can atleast see your vids serially to catch up
Waiting for upcoming lore videos! I partially skipped chap 2 and onwards because the writing lost me and I didn't think I'd care for part 2's story until they hit me in the face with a part 1 connection so now I'm desperately looking for recap lore videos to understand wtf is going on. Part 2's writing is so confusing, and your video is very helpful.
Do they seriously have to mindfk us this early with regards to Lihost and doggo? I can't even remember what is happening in the current update. (I was simping too hard as Thelema's pet that the story flew past my head)
I just hope we get some interesting backstories and lore on the main cha like Dreamseeker, Songque, Senadina, Helia, and Coralie as well as character development because that’s what made Part 1 so great so I hope Part 2 does the same.
I have been watching your explanation for honkai's story for more than year now and Im So glad such channel is exist! I wish if you can think about checking on honkai star rail story as well one day! Thanks for your hard work~
Regarding Litost's grave sin, it was talked about briefly I don't remember when and by who sadly, will have to replay the entire story to find it but either someone assumed or said it - that Litost caused the death of all the people in Amber street, or something along those lines. My memory is very vague on this so if I'm wrong just tell me what was it about Amber street and Litost instead to fix it edit: nvm you addressed it afterwards it seems to have no connection to the grave sin that initially caused him to want to be forgotten Also great video and explanations, loved it !
I wonder if the Hyperion 8 crew (I can't really remember what Hyperion is used for this Mars expedition) is looking for this two.i mean based on the Part 2 Trailer They dropped on Mars in a pod then interacted with the Anchor to get here, but what about the Hyperion 's perspective
So if Songque can deceive even physics, this will probably go into a stupid direction, bare with me. Since all Hoyo games seem to run parallel, can she deceive *Fate* ? Mars has already been destroyed but the way its implied by Sena at the very start of the story when Dreamseeker meets her is that it can be helped? Or is it simply to save the remaining part of the civilisation?
Great video Homu; helped me clear up a few things I didn't fully understand. Question though: are there more Shus besides the 7 we know of? I vaguely recall someone (Songque?) implying that there were more; the 7 that we're focusing on are just the really important ones. Or I'm misremembering something...
What Songque said was that there were other people who could deal with some of the 10 Faces of Misery like the Shadow Monsters using special tools like Scudder and the Lantern organization. But in order to be a Shu you had to be able to deal with all 10 Faces of Misery. As far as we know, there are only 7 Shus.
Btw another one interesting info who have authority of finallity can travel back in the time with dream. That mean CoF can travel back in the time just like Aeon of finallity. Buum!!!
My question is: Mars was destroyed, so we are in a bubble world, right? Dont all bubble worlds die? How is it mars even alive? (And as far as i know ether anchors prolong a bubble worlds life, stopping it from sinking into the depths of the sea of quanta by consuming the remaining imaginary energy of the bubble world but when its depleted, the bubble world will die too).
Mars isn't alive, it's currently a desolate red waste like in real life. Bubble worlds won't die as long as its anchored to something from the proper world.
Seems there’s always life forms. That want to destroy the entire world.. Honkai, the swarm(Star Rail), Anti- matter Legion, Kamis , and other life forms or creatures that want to destroy planets. Cause it seems, the entire universe is full of these creatures of destruction . Aeon of destruction, Honkai, finality cocoon, and other Godlike creatures that want to destroy worlds. It’s like the universe is both the creator of both creation and destruction . Some world are destroyed , a New World created from the ashes. As an example, a star dies , it turns into a new star or a black hole. either creating a new solar system or a new universe. My theory is that the creatures of destruction and gods of destructionexist to destroy , and universe just re-create whatever they destroy, creating a new star, a new planet, or even a new universe. Even though some of these worlds have been destroyed, they still exist as bubble universes meaning they were re-created, which is an endless cycle of destruction and creation . My theory is that most of the destroyed worlds eventually turned into a new universe, but billions of years in the future . but in a different universe.
Littost always remember me aponia Both despise what they ve done and use their power to ""punish"" themself or help other s And they are both despress 😅
I dont know what happened to me after HI3's main storyline with kiaan ended, I literally cannot bring myself to enjoy part 2's lore in any way shape or form, rip
That's more so funny English localization ala HI3. They confirmed in the 7.3 CN Dev Livestream when they showed the timeline for the first time that it's the same Cocoon that traveled to Mars, Venus and eventually ended up on Earth.
i just skip all the stories because i don't have time to listen the stories, its too much, but when i want to know, i just watch from this channel. lol
Didnt su look in the devine key on so many worlds and see no one survived honkai? It would be lame if he found ppl at mars and with such level of technology said nah it dosnt important, i dont get the reasoning behind creating a world that does survives after we said none does, and thouse guys created cryopods and had mebious qt their side couldnt they just yoink to mars? Wird 1:54 edit if mars population was good up to this point then why not move there? 4:06 wut...??
Hm... I just noticed that all Shu methods are related to HSR Paths. Pleasure-something that brings Elation. Sacrifice-something that requires significant determination, which is governed by Hunt. Union-something that brings Harmony. Destruction- well...Destruction Falsehood and Deception-something governed by Enigmata. Gadgets-something that can be made with Erudition Coincidence or reuse of concept-we shall see.
I don't think there is any connection there. The 7 Shus are most likely inspired by the Arts of Politics and War from the Han Feizi, an ancient Chinese text.
Indeed it is inspired by Arts (Shus) of Politics and War. And the entire Mars history of different dynasties is a 1 on 1 reference to Chinese history of Dynasties (One of the Prince is literally Martian Genghis Khan lol).
Thanks for the big recap, Part 2 storytelling has been the worst experience I’ve had with this game after years of playing. It made me actually seriously consider quitting the game for the first time from how much of a bad time I was having. And now after being told about whatever happened in chapter one, I’m still not compelled to be invested in the world and the characters. It doesn’t feel like there’s an actual writer behind this story, there’s the information they came up with and want to tell to the players but they are incapable to presenting it in a compelling way that could get an audience like me invested. Compare it to the early Part 1 chapters where, although had it’s flaws, they knew how to properly present the story’s early chapters by not over complicating everything and info-dumping. They kept it simple, here’s the world, here’s the enemies, here’re our casts and we’ll show you what they’re like, not telling but actually showing. All that aside, thanks again for making this video. At least I can make a better judgement if I will keep playing or not now that I know what kind of story we’re being given here.
I have a stupid question, but I genuinely don't get it. Was the Cocoon on Mars the same Cocoon that is currently on Earth? If it is, does that mean that there is only one Cocoon in the entire Solar system?
Comparing to chapter 1-2 of each respective part, part 2 is better even though it's complicated in the first chapter. The first few chapters of part 1 were flat, people forgot how it was. I have replayed the game twice, and I'd rather learn part 2 story.
I think the problem with part 2 is that the way they tell you the story is so unnecessary complex and metaphorical that a lot of new and old players both confused on the story, which makes a lot of people either bored or quit the game
Part 2 is still the my least favorite experience. Absolutely nothing made sense, silent protagonist, artifacts farming, treasure finding.. and just lots of nonsense. This is terrible..
Hope you back is better, really I know that back problems are serious and painfull, hope you feling better, but yeah the suscribe button of the faces of misery it seems to have spread so much, many many people and players didnt really undestood part 2, maybe because they didnt read the texts of the collectibles, or just didnt follow the story, it has many paralels with the Honkai on earth but with specifical diferences, maybe the people will see this video and finally be realease of this curse of not knowing or be confuse about the Honkai Lore
Hello! The script for this video was written before Chapter 2 came out. Due to my back pain, I took some time off from content creation and the editing process was very slow. That is why you'll notice that the editing in the second half of the video is not as good and polished like the first half. I'm sorry for that!

We don't mind really. Your lore and Wyverein's testings are 2 most important HI3 channels out there, thanks for your work!
I wonder does standing desk will help for backpain, cause ill definitely start using those if it helps
That's okay! Thank you for breaking it down for us, this was very helpful, as honkai lore is SO DAMN OVERCOMPLICATED. Really, the dialogues often made me think i'm asdumb as Sena lol
you have the togashi sensei sickness
No worries, the edits regarding the Shu introductions were funny as hell tbh, looking forward to future lore stuff🙏
Coocon in mars : shadow curse
Coocon in venus : abyysal monster/planet eater monster
Coocon in earth: honkai/hearscher
I do wonder why the Coocon decides to do things differently for every planet.
@@Faron93 trial and error maybe? finding the perfect method to achieve "embrace"
What do you mean planet eater in venus? Didn't the cocoon do the same thing he did on earth but on venus until Vita triggered a Sea of Quanta Tsunami washing it away?

Izumo had their own versions of Herrschers and well.... we all know how well that went for Mei

There is no story yet in HSR
OUR GREAT LOREDADDY HAS RETURNED
the dog is a shadow but creates it's owner made of it's shadow but the dog was from the shadow of the owner who knew yes.
Shadow-ception!
Chenxue & Songque will be the most interesting characters
I was just about to say the same thing. Both of them are much more than meets the eye. Chenxue, seems on surface to be a dedicated university data scientist, but her competence slowly revealing to be much more than just a person of knowledge. Like how she handled Oxia crisis with such finesse and composure, and how she smoothly negotiated with a hot headed highly trained killer aka Tsavorae on the last chapter.

And she always collapsed at the climax moment, first she collapsed in the middle of the amber street panic incident, and then she collapsed at the end of chapter 2 when they fought Tsavorae.
They already are to me outside the Shu's no one is doing anything really Chenxue and Song really move the plot along with initiative.
The main cast are too confused to do much 😢 making them not interesting 😞
Making the Shu's more of the protagonist 😂😂😂 oddly.

In the word of Homu Labs. "Stay Strong Everyone, we will have Female SU eventually."
With the collab between Hsr and Hi, now is the perfect time for your return. 🎉🎉
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO, the chapter two was much more easier to follow in my opinion but oh boy, i was so confused with chapter one. now everything makes much more sense!
"The Best Hoyoverse Character Ever- I mean Thelema The Shu of Pleasure."
Bro's still horrendously down bad for Thelema even while doing lore recaps. 🤣
Thanks, I needed a Chapter 1 recap, because I was left very confused, especially about Litost. Chapter 2 was thankfully better.
Something most likely just a coincidence, but a fun one: "litost" means "regret" in Czech & regret is Litost's theme because of the great sin he committed. So yeah, fun haha.
I hope your back gets good soon!
Omg, nečekala jsem, že někdy narazím na internetu na českého hráče HI3 a už vůbec ne u lore videí od Homu 😳 a nemůžu si pomoci, vždycky když vidím Litostovo jméno, můj mozek si automaticky přidá čárku a čte to jako lítost 😂

Baiji being the Shu of misfortune is kinda funny man wants to own up to his mistakes but seems like making things 100x worse lol. Finally some Sonque lore about to happen
And during the devstream there were concerning CG's that where shown and I'm nervous lmao. Finally I'm invested in part 2 and it only took 2 chapters. Chenxue SUS af
*3D model of Baiji Shows Up*
Bwahahahahhahahaa
Finally I've been waiting for your video about part2 lore!! Please give us a recap as well if you can❤❤❤❤
Coralie: Is your "great Honkai eruption" this simple? Just some shadow problem?
Well listen Coralie, Mars got attacked by Honkai first, Venus second, and Earth third. This means the Cocoon did different trial and errors on each planet.
This was actually so incredibly useful, thank you SO much for this video... Part 2 has been so overwhelming for me and I had no real clue anymore what was going on. Your video greatly helped!
All I know is that Coralie is adorable and must be protected at all cost
Pretty hyped for more Part 2 story
I'm also very excited when they show Professor Youyun in the game
Thank you as always for the recap. I don't know what it is about the part 2 lore but I love it so much and was immediately hooked. Songque is probably my favorite character in part 2. Can't wait to find out more about her in future chapters.
Even though chapter 1 act 2 specifically wasn't my favorite it wasn't hard to understand for me at least. The only problem I had was with the timeline. There were just too many major events and figuring out in which order they happened was a bit confusing. Thanks for clearing it up now everything makes sense.
I really can't wait for chapter 3. From what we have seen so far chapter 3 might be absolutely insane. I am both excited and terrified. I really hope that we see Ai and Vita at the end of chapter 3. I need them to finally go down there and join the team. They have been edging us for months now. Giving us a 2-minute scene in each chapter I can't take it anymore😭

i bet homu labs right now is still struggling to upload an explanation about what on mars is happening after vita comes up
Once more, thank you, Homu Labs for summarizing HI3P2. Can't wait for the rest.
The first chapter of Part 2 in 7.3 did TOO MUCH lore dumping all at once which is why I feel like the beginning got a bit slow for a while after the Senadina dance cutscene. Definitely confused a lot of new players. (A few of my friends who finally got into the game were really confused by all the Part 2 stuff)

Honkai impact part 2 is Vita simulation world dream
9:11 Unironically one of the best characters and one of my favorite characters in the Honkai verse
Anyways, Homu Labs is underrated af
Thank you for making these much clearer & get well soon!
i kinda was hoping this would recap chapter 1 of part 2 and some of the confusing topics they covered, instead this introduced even more confusing stuff for me
u did a great job explaining most of my confusions, Great Vid Homu Labs!
You are our Cocoon of LORE explanations!!!! The story got so complicated after chapter 26 that i needed someone to explain to my little brain what was going on. Love you man
Thanks a lot Homu for the explanations regarding the timeline, the world setting, the parallels to Honkai and about the Shus.
I gave up from trying to digest Litost and the dog plot though, too much confusing 😮💨
I understood the lore, but thank you for explaining the characters. The amount of Shoes and who they are what made me do a click rush through their parts lol

Thank you for making all the lore videos
The goat is back! Prioritize yourself as us homu enjoyers just wish for your speedy recovery
aw yis finally the part 2 explanation, thx for the summary
I'm only halfway through the video but the Litost and Ajita coffin dance edits took me OUT.
You are evil Mr. Homu 🤣
you are litrally a life saver! as always thanks for this!!!
Great video! It clears my understanding of whats going on! TY
Thank you for this video it cleared up soo much confusion in my mind you are a God.
Cucun throws randomly his creations, thinking it would work.
Omg thank you I skipped all the dialogues of part 2 it was too much 😭❤️
I have been watching your explanation for honkai's story for more than year now and Im So glad such channel is exist!
I wish if you can think about checking on honkai star rail story as well one day! Thanks for your hard work~
The thing i fished out from story is that Baiji said that he wants to make a god and Songque is most important for their plan so ...
Regarding Litost's grave sin, it was talked about briefly I don't remember when and by who sadly, will have to replay the entire story to find it but either someone assumed or said it - that Litost caused the death of all the people in Amber street, or something along those lines.

Yes, absolutely! I cannot wait to play it!
@@HomuLabs same!

Edit: Nvm, I saw Bro's X/Twitter.
12:04 YOU PICK THE WRONG HOUSE FOO
Good we agree Thelema is the best. I was about to cryo sleep and just perma save for Vita but she woke me up. Cursed, hoyo.
I wonder if the Hyperion 8 crew (I can't really remember what Hyperion is used for this Mars expedition) is looking for this two.i mean based on the Part 2 Trailer
They dropped on Mars in a pod then interacted with the Anchor to get here, but what about the Hyperion 's perspective
If Litost can control fear couldn't he make himself fear Duonique?
Thank you. Cause there's a lot, and it's confusing
So if Songque can deceive even physics, this will probably go into a stupid direction, bare with me. Since all Hoyo games seem to run parallel, can she deceive *Fate* ? Mars has already been destroyed but the way its implied by Sena at the very start of the story when Dreamseeker meets her is that it can be helped? Or is it simply to save the remaining part of the civilisation?
Great video Homu; helped me clear up a few things I didn't fully understand.
Question though: are there more Shus besides the 7 we know of? I vaguely recall someone (Songque?) implying that there were more; the 7 that we're focusing on are just the really important ones. Or I'm misremembering something...
What Songque said was that there were other people who could deal with some of the 10 Faces of Misery like the Shadow Monsters using special tools like Scudder and the Lantern organization. But in order to be a Shu you had to be able to deal with all 10 Faces of Misery. As far as we know, there are only 7 Shus.
Well, based on where the new story is now, is like make theories about Part 1 story, only knowing the first 3-4 chapter.😅
Btw another one interesting info who have authority of finallity can travel back in the time with dream.
That mean CoF can travel back in the time just like Aeon of finallity.
Buum!!!
FYI, we don't know if Dream Seekers are connected to Finality for sure.
@@HomuLabs yeah but what i say is goddess Senadina who possibly can travel back in time is She also can walk in dream with different time concept
My question is: Mars was destroyed, so we are in a bubble world, right? Dont all bubble worlds die? How is it mars even alive? (And as far as i know ether anchors prolong a bubble worlds life, stopping it from sinking into the depths of the sea of quanta by consuming the remaining imaginary energy of the bubble world but when its depleted, the bubble world will die too).
Bubble worlds don't die easily. Also, 'they' brought it.
Mars isn't alive, it's currently a desolate red waste like in real life. Bubble worlds won't die as long as its anchored to something from the proper world.
I don't know how I would understand anything in Honkai Impact if it wasn't for Homulabs lol
Hats off to you Homu! really helps with getting the gist of things. Still love the game but I tend to skip on the story now.
Seems there’s always life forms. That want to destroy the entire world..
Honkai, the swarm(Star Rail), Anti- matter Legion, Kamis , and other life forms or creatures that want to destroy planets.
Cause it seems, the entire universe is full of these creatures of destruction .
Aeon of destruction, Honkai, finality cocoon, and other Godlike creatures that want to destroy worlds.
It’s like the universe is both the creator of both creation and destruction .
Some world are destroyed , a New World created from the ashes.
As an example, a star dies , it turns into a new star or a black hole. either creating a new solar system or a new universe.
My theory is that the creatures of destruction and gods of destructionexist to destroy , and universe just re-create whatever they destroy, creating a new star, a new planet, or even a new universe.
Even though some of these worlds have been destroyed, they still exist as bubble universes meaning they were re-created, which is an endless cycle of destruction and creation .
My theory is that most of the destroyed worlds eventually turned into a new universe, but billions of years in the future . but in a different universe.
finality in earth = kiana
finality in venus = Sa/Vita
finality in mars = ???
Littost always remember me aponia
Both despise what they ve done and use their power to ""punish"" themself or help other s
And they are both despress 😅
I dont know what happened to me after HI3's main storyline with kiaan ended, I literally cannot bring myself to enjoy part 2's lore in any way shape or form, rip
Are you sure the Cocoon we know went to Mars? Because Coralie refers to it as Earth's Cocoon, implying that there's more than one.
That's more so funny English localization ala HI3. They confirmed in the 7.3 CN Dev Livestream when they showed the timeline for the first time that it's the same Cocoon that traveled to Mars, Venus and eventually ended up on Earth.
Interesting that the cocoon went to Mars skipped Earth to go to Venus and then swings back to Earth. Orbits maybe???
@@ottovw yes
i just skip all the stories because i don't have time to listen the stories, its too much, but when i want to know, i just watch from this channel. lol
Didnt su look in the devine key on so many worlds and see no one survived honkai? It would be lame if he found ppl at mars and with such level of technology said nah it dosnt important, i dont get the reasoning behind creating a world that does survives after we said none does, and thouse guys created cryopods and had mebious qt their side couldnt they just yoink to mars? Wird
1:54 edit if mars population was good up to this point then why not move there?
4:06 wut...??
Hm... I just noticed that all Shu methods are related to HSR Paths.
Pleasure-something that brings Elation.
Sacrifice-something that requires significant determination, which is governed by Hunt.
Union-something that brings Harmony.
Destruction- well...Destruction
Falsehood and Deception-something governed by Enigmata.
Gadgets-something that can be made with Erudition
Coincidence or reuse of concept-we shall see.
I know i not alone who think about it
I don't think there is any connection there. The 7 Shus are most likely inspired by the Arts of Politics and War from the Han Feizi, an ancient Chinese text.
I don’t mean to be rude, but not everything is a Star Rail reference.
Indeed it is inspired by Arts (Shus) of Politics and War. And the entire Mars history of different dynasties is a 1 on 1 reference to Chinese history of Dynasties (One of the Prince is literally Martian Genghis Khan lol).
Bro u digging into something that isn't there.
Where did you get the BGM from?
Is Masquerade Corridor BGM! I'm looking for this and can't get it T_T
Thanks for the big recap, Part 2 storytelling has been the worst experience I’ve had with this game after years of playing. It made me actually seriously consider quitting the game for the first time from how much of a bad time I was having. And now after being told about whatever happened in chapter one, I’m still not compelled to be invested in the world and the characters. It doesn’t feel like there’s an actual writer behind this story, there’s the information they came up with and want to tell to the players but they are incapable to presenting it in a compelling way that could get an audience like me invested. Compare it to the early Part 1 chapters where, although had it’s flaws, they knew how to properly present the story’s early chapters by not over complicating everything and info-dumping. They kept it simple, here’s the world, here’s the enemies, here’re our casts and we’ll show you what they’re like, not telling but actually showing. All that aside, thanks again for making this video. At least I can make a better judgement if I will keep playing or not now that I know what kind of story we’re being given here.
Homu is down bad for Thelema
When will part 2 end? 😩
part 2 and 3 when?
Thanks great explanation but still I can't figure out why the dog did that?!
When did Kiana and the cocoon of unwoven meet
Was it in the part one story cus I haven't really played that much
They met at 1.5 (The Star Which the Moon Gazes Upon) you can play that chapter again
@@saddany3254 thanks
Though I did finish that quest yesterday so I already found out
hi3 jst became more confusing than ever bro.
You have to read archive to understand the lord about mar
Localization? I don't follow. Can you elaborate?
Why did i watch this till the very end? I don't even play honkai....
I'm not done with the first part story. o(I'm at the part where Kiana meets her mom for fake) So IDK why I'm watching this lol
is the sea of data the same as the sea of quanta?
Who knows
Sea of Data is said to be a certain corner of the Sea of Quanta. More like a specific spot in the Sea of Quanta.
I have a stupid question, but I genuinely don't get it. Was the Cocoon on Mars the same Cocoon that is currently on Earth? If it is, does that mean that there is only one Cocoon in the entire Solar system?
There only one Cocoon of Finality in the entire solar system with other planet's version such as Sa from Venus
okay but what the hell is sea of data??? like is it the same as sea of quanta?? does anyone know?
Yeah it's basically the same thing
I thought they were the same, only the people of Oxia called it the Sea of Data instead of Quanta.
9:00😅
for me I was half not interested and half speed running the story so I don't remember much about the first 2 chapters
HOYO RELEASE VITA NOW PLS 😭
I prefer Honkai 2 than the first part not gonna lie
Comparing to chapter 1-2 of each respective part, part 2 is better even though it's complicated in the first chapter.
The first few chapters of part 1 were flat, people forgot how it was. I have replayed the game twice, and I'd rather learn part 2 story.
If it talking about the first 2 or 3 chapters I can see where you’re coming from but if not then it’s too early to say that.
I think the problem with part 2 is that the way they tell you the story is so unnecessary complex and metaphorical that a lot of new and old players both confused on the story, which makes a lot of people either bored or quit the game
I dont get it
Honestly even in this explanation Litost - Duonique stuff was kinda boring and confusing. How did they end up with this concept..
I kinda like it, it shows Shadows can be humanised and even have weaknesses to themselves.
7 Sus
Part 2 is still the my least favorite experience. Absolutely nothing made sense, silent protagonist, artifacts farming, treasure finding.. and just lots of nonsense. This is terrible..
Hope you back is better, really I know that back problems are serious and painfull, hope you feling better, but yeah the suscribe button of the faces of misery it seems to have spread so much, many many people and players didnt really undestood part 2, maybe because they didnt read the texts of the collectibles, or just didnt follow the story, it has many paralels with the Honkai on earth but with specifical diferences, maybe the people will see this video and finally be realease of this curse of not knowing or be confuse about the Honkai Lore
