Don't know if you mentioned this in the video, But Soukaku running into Yanagi's chest in the previous video makes so much sense now. Yanagi smells like Soukakus sister due to the Blood pact/Transfusion Bet the people complaining about that feel bad now XD or not who knows what they think
• Red and blue onis - The main differences are in terms of temperament, the red ones are temperamental, impatient and violent. The blue ones are more thoughtful, wise and calm, which is an irony because Shoukaku seems like someone quite extroverted, childish and crazy (although it must be mainly because she is young) and her red-skinned sister seemed quite understandable and intelligent, it's like if they had their roles changed. There is also the issue of the horns, the Oni with a single horn are usually weaker (Maybe symbolism of the illness that the sister seemed to suffer from?) two horns represent duality, the opposite and complementary at the same time, an order (That Shoukaku It is an Oni with two horns and not one, perhaps it represents the key that united the two worlds and achieved the path to understanding and peace, now the little girl canonically has fan clubs, New Eridu no longer see the oni as a threat). • Keeping his culture alive - Shoukaku's weapon is inspired by a Sashimono, those banners that the samurai carried on their backs, and they contained the heraldry of a respective clan, if you look closely the three spheres present on his weapon are also on the cloth behind Shoukaku's sister, probably a symbol not only of a clan but of an entire race. We also have wooden masks, Shoukaku uses a similar one but made of artificial materials.
Probably in exchange for saving soukaku and the other onis, she was forced into HAND since at the end of tour de inferno, she mentioned to us that she didn't really want that job. Also all the mothers day flowers that gets in her desk must be from all the other onis (including soukaku) that she saved.
from what I understood Yanagi helped END the war against the Oni tribe that the previous leader of the Oni started, so with no war left to fight and her having ended a war it doesnt surprise me she got promoted and honorably discharched from the military and then recruited into Hand, and took Soukaku with her, once the war was over and Oni were allowed to be citizens of eridu there probably was a nice pr incentive of having both Yanagi the hero and Soukaku an Oni, join the newly formed Hand (since this seemingly happend only a bit before the whole hollow 0 incident)... also it was stated that Yanagi was a "mother" before, it could be that she adopted Soukaku
i know it's rating difference (in china ZZZ is 16+ while other hoyoverse game are 12+) but with them being able to showcase a truly dark visual storytelling without hiding it behind texts. i love ZZZ more than the others (except Honkai3rd, i love that game exceptionally) like one of the red fang gang and Pompey turned into ethereals, those makes the horror aspect of the game feels believeable than someone dying off screen.
The recent Genshin Story quest was dark as fk as well... I mean Genshin already had pretty dark stories but they were delegated to world quests and lore texts not the Main Archon Quest this time in Natlan they went all out. I am waiting to see something similar in HSR and ZZZ too...!!!
I wonder if the oni war is tied to anby and soldier 11. It's kinda implied anby left the defense force after something horrible happened (probably with civilians). And soldier 11 got a rep for being ruthless.
Absolutely love Soukaku and it was actually her design that got me into the game first (and Ellen but yeah) Ironic how my new main dps, Yanagi, is actually related to Soukaku in a sense. I WOULD LOVE to have seen Yanagi grow a horn at least in her ult animation lol but regardless, seeing more Oni content in her character quest will be amazing
Something I saw that was pretty cool was the naginata that Yanagi used to kill the oni leader has the same blade design as her current weapon. Could even be the very same weapon just modified by HAND.
this is the most serious trailer i have ever seen.. this clarifies what and why Yanagi treats soukaku as her own kin, her promise to soukaku's sister is bound by blood, meaning she'll do everthing and anything to protect soukaku like a mother would, even if it costs her life, and gives the oni a shot at peace with the humans, since she has oni blood now maybe she'll get stronger.
The Antagonist of 1.3 might be a Rebellious Oni and Yanagi is the vocal point cause it is her job to protect the Onis and not get them into another War with the Eridu government
I think bsc she is the family and she is like the leverage so that the oni tribe wont wage war again in trade of peace maybe?. sometimes the old must die to start a new one like how Sokaku is innocent and happy to be with human hence why the leader turning point was seeing Sokaku so close to Yanagi. ZZZ is at it again man....The world is so big. Yes give us an oni tribe!. Angel seen in the story lore, now Oni....yes pls more!
I already liked her as a character, but this made her infinitely more interesting . Her being an activist and representative of Oni rights adds layers I didn't know I needed. On top of having oni blood in her means a chance for a devil trigger like form down the line, which is hype af. Also with this teaser, I feel we can now read the popularity of section 6 as another play by Yanagi to temper Oni discrimination in New Eridu(as we saw in the 1.3 livesteam Sukaku has fans as well not just Miyabi and the rest). I'm not saying this is a fact, but it would be cool if that was the case. Edit: And finally, as for wanting more of this type of lore stuff happening in game I would just say its called a teaser for a reason, its still early days not even half way through the 1.X patches the world is slowly expanding so give it time I trust the plan so far.
Miyabi was technically dripped back in November 2022, and they don't seem to re-drip characters as seen with Ellen and Zhu Yuan in the beta, so there's still a chance we get her in 1.4
The Lore on ZZZ is just 3 monts old, we have some videos, some things on the HoyoLab others the offcial site and the game but we really don’t not much of the world, for all i know New Eridu City is the last standing on the planet but thanks to this lore bomb we know at leats is no like that. She have a blood transfusion, a oni rite we don’t know, maybe bone marrow a organ??, really we dont know but now she have Oni blood in her veins, and not just raise Sukaku, she help and save all the sukaku tribe, she is one amazing girl, best girl. Now the “War” same we just filing the holes, the people of old Eridu don’t like Thirens but on the new city is no the case, (Sukaku have a ton of fans), probably the onis suffer the same, the goberment of Eridu and the new city dont always have best of intentions, remember zzz is on post apocalyptic scene resurces are scarce and races need to fight for them but we really dont know, on time. Thanks for the reaction.
Really cool trailer, but more importantly... what kind of D&D game were you in that you mentioned at the beginning of this video? DM or a player? What level? What class?
Im curious to see if instead of miyabi we get a rerun? I know some speculated that, personally im fine with her being pushed to a much later patch, i can more easily pull for yanagi and still save for miyabi, i want them both
The English voice acting isn't bad but as someone with a mix of OCD and ADHD symptom, the lip syncing looks horrendous to me. These cutscenes are only watchable in Chinese for me because the sounds match the lip movements then. Minor tangent aside, I love this PV. It's nothing revolutionary in terms of storytelling. "War is bad yada yada". But it's always the execution that matters. ZZZ is my favorite Hoyoverse games in terms of aesthetic and clean professional execution bar none, and although Honkai is my favorite in terms of lore, ZZZ might overtake that aspect too in the future. It depens on where they decide to take the main story.
@emberthecatgirl8796 I never said it wasn't bad. I'm just saying that using that as the thematic focus for backstory isn't novel. That said, novelty does not matter in the face of proper and professional execution, like I said.
@@momsaccount4033 I misunderstood your comment then, sorry! Although I’d like to see a story with a different conclusion than “war is pointless”, since all too often the protagonist ends up diminishing the sacrifices of the people they help. And like, shit happens, but I’d like to see that trope subverted.

The blue adult in the video is also the angrier one (not that he lacks reasons).

yeah. the story got really dark O_O. the lore drops are insane.

I wonder what other races there are that live among themselves outside of New Eridu
came to love yanagi, left wanting to adopt soukaku
Something I saw that was pretty cool was the naginata that Yanagi used to kill the oni leader has the same blade design as her current weapon. Could even be the very same weapon just modified by HAND.

How does Null_Face connect with masks? hrmrmrmrm...
I think her fighting style is from the Oni Leader
