    First Tingyun, now Gallagher...HSR is giving me trust issues! 😂
    EDIT: I'm glad that other people also picked up on all the "Gallagher isn't who he seems to be" moments (like several NPCs not knowing who he is, even though they should have), because for a while I reallly thought I was going crazy or just misread the dialogues.

    I saw another video discussing this topic on who Gallagher is and it brings up a valid point. Gallagher is the only character to have a line about Misha and vice versa.
    Also, in the White Night video, Misha is shown to be hunted down by what looks like a hound and then transitions to Gallagher. While this may be just a style choice, the fact that these two are the only ones who know of each other's existence is kinda odd. And considering that numerous theories are saying that Misha is related to the Watchmaker kinda adds some sense to it.

    I think Gallagher is likely a memory meme, similar to Misha. I don’t think he’s a history fictionologist at all. His basis is very likely Hanunu, the founder of the bloodhound family and the first freedom fighter in Penacony. It would explain why he remembers things that happened hundreds or even thousands of years ago. He probably has Hanunu’s memories. Similar to how Misha was a memory meme clone of Mikhail.

    Here’s me take: Gallagher is shown to be a very rebellious person, whereas someone like Misha is very obiedent. I think the Familiy considered Gallagher a dangerous threat and gave him a fate worse than death - the Family killed Gallagher at age 13, but only in the real world; his memoria persisted in the dream world just so that the Familiy could continue using him. “Defanging a dog” as he would put it. When Gallagher says he’s 13, he’s refering to the fact that this is his last age in the real world before his cruel death.
    Evidence to support this is that Gallagher never once shows up in the real world - only the dreamscape unlike Misha who appears in both, and it would also explain why almost no BloodHounds seem to know who he is, because he exists in only 1 plane. And preserving someone in memoria isn’t new to the Family - there’s a side quest featuring a missing Genus Society member, and the end reveals that his body no longer exists, and the Family imprisoned him in the dream world in memoria.
    This theory also proves HOW Gallagher can potentially be the Death Meme itself, because things in the dreamscape are susceptible to emotions the longer they exist in a dream - it’s why the Sweat Dreams Troupe becomes the Dream Jolt Troupe. Gallagher quite literally cannot leave the dreamscape, so just like the Sweat Dreams Troupe, he too is forever becoming effected by the emotions. This even proves little things, like how the Vinettes in a Cup event revealed that the only way to prevent this susceptibility is by drinking concotions. You know how Gallagher has a silly little idle animation where his arm starts burning and he drinks out of a canteen to make it go away? Yeah, that’s the standard procedure to prevent him becoming Death. His scars and burnings are the metaphorical and physical representation of the dreamscape eating away at him.
    I just find it funny that for a group so devoted to the Harmony, the way they punish adversities is one akin to Nihilism.

      Emanator of Enigmata is his creator, Gallagher is a virtual character/avatar the Fictionologist used to manipulate the events in Penacony, his appearance likes and dislikes, his overall character was taken from various people in Penacony, think of the fictionologist as an actor while gallagher is the character, they don't have a similar appearance and personality but the fictionologist is still Gallagher or atleast played as him in the story and script and has all of his memories, thats why March 7th mentioned that when they meet Gallagher again (they are addressing the HF who is playing the Gallagher facade they should stop talking in riddles which is alot to request from HFs who just grew up lying.) My bet is the HF is the real friend of the Watchmaker and was with him during the war, being one of the HF who liberated Penacony. Imo where probably gonna met his creator the real Gallagher one day but they will probably look different but still have some of Gallagher's habits and personality since they did mention how they sometimes cannot distinguish between Gallagher and themself so some of there true self probably seeped into the character. Anyways since the HF are emenators of Mythus and they are known to be capable of turning fiction and imagination into reality, manipulate memoria, and mental cognition, his creator will be 5 star for sure.

    Rather than being a synthetic entity in the same way the Trailblazer is, I think "Gallagher" is a synthetic *identity* that the Enigmata agent took on (maybe 13 years ago? But then again, the capitalization makes me think something more is going on there). Whoever Gallagher was before assuming that identity, I suspect he will retain his new Identity when all is said and done. What will happen to make him want to do that remains to be seen.

    • @Maevix3142

      A synthetic identity is pretty interesting as an idea, I wonder whether thats where the memokeepers might fit into the story here. Like perhaps to retain or exist as a non-corporeal form (sentient identity) maybe they needed the memory bubble tech from the garden of recollection. Im also curious whether gallagher has a "true" appearance since sunday implies hes an amalgamation of different appearance traits of the family members

    Enigmata and Mythus' antics in general is like a cruel and unfunny joke that sooner or later would Aha struggling to laugh at
    It's really something that Aeon Fuli and its remembrance would diametrically oppose against as well, considering Fuli's agents are specifically prepared for the future after foreseen cyclical destructions of HSRverse, with Fuli's affiliated factions supposed to maintain previous cycles' knowledge to reconstruct future yet Mythus and its minions would blatantly tampering with it so mortals either wouldn't driven mad to despair (or have chances to ascends and change Fate)
    There's good chance that Modus Operandi of those following Enigmata path are done collectively or at least interdependently with each other in order deliberately obfuscating facts, although if either of Mythus, Aha or Fuli overlaps each other then any of them would cease to function (although Fuli already foreseen to witness everything in Fable of The Stars (hence it's probably the only Aeon that know what happened to Akivili and both of our Trailblazers), so in the end I don't think Mythus nor Aha could even able to overlapping the path of Remembrance)
    Oh and speaking of changing Fates in Honkaiverse, only both Ai Chan and Captain of Hyperion himself being able to do such feats, especially do Captain being unique entity that can traverse Sea of Quanta and even tampering with creating branching timelines without any sacrificial gambit (unlike HI3's Otto Schicksal and HSR's Aventurine) that which is Imaginary in nature, although only veteran players remembers)

    It would be cool if you could propose a theory on the gâcha system of Honkai star rail connecting it to the sea of quanta as players using star rail passes involves “fishing” into the sea to capture a certain amplitude of the electron field that yields a certain amount of particles. These particles are quantized fragments of the characters released in the game; notice how if you play as Tingyun in the Loufu, people don’t question if you are alive or not. This means that these characters are merely quantized clones generated from specific probabilities of the fields within the sea of quantum. This is also the reason why electron orbitals have their unique s (spherical), p (dumbbell) shape and so on because the shape represents the probability that the particle can be in a specific space at a certain time. The gâcha system has diverse probabilities that represents how certain you can predict the location of the character within the sea of quantum; thus, when you “fish” for the characters within the sea, the probability regions determine the exact position to “fish” for. Unfortunately, due to uncertainty principles, quantum wave-particle units like electrons move so quickly that one can not determine its position with 100% certainty which is why “fishing” for the sea of quantum is “luck” dependent and randomized. I infer this is the truth that the enigmata yearns to keep hidden from the universe because it involves a lot of uncertainty that civilizations are not prepared to handle knowing there can be an extra clone of them located nearby.

    • @awesome7006
      @awesome7006 7 місяців тому

      I think that the gâcha system is a core component of the sea of quanta and that if a hoyoverse game includes a gâcha system in any function that involves random probabilities, then it should most likely be part of the same universe that Honkai star rail and Genshin impact is in.

    It was only until I watched your video again that I did notice the little thing that ends up more suspicious once you saw it. He was the one who explicitly helped out Firefly and kept her in the Dreamscape despite knowing well that she was the one the Bloodhounds were looking for. Why exactly isn't really noticable until you realise who he's implied to be connected with. The Death meme /targetted/ Firefly specifically, if she was out of the Dreamscape then it wouldn't be able to "kill" her.
    Gallagher was the one who pushed for her to stay /because/ the Meme was supposed to kill her. Why is a weird question and will probably be revealed in 2.2 but my own assumption, as of right now, is that he needed Firefly to die in order to see the Truth of Penacony and /somehow/ return in order to expose it?
