    They are doing the Tango! One of the most fascinating of all dances, the tango is a sensual ballroom dance that originated in Buenos Aires, Argentina in the early twentieth century. The tango dance is usually performed by a man and a woman, expressing an element of romance in their synchronized movements. Originally, the tango was performed only by women, but once it spread beyond Buenos Aires, it developed into a dance for couples. Also known has, "The Dance of Seduction."
    The ending part took me by surprise and........... I don't know what I can say.

Turns out Acheron is traumatized as hell, is a force of *nature*, and completely dismantled the Annihilation Gang solo for her invitation to the gala. She took theirs.
      in-game quotes can be seen as such:
      “An extremely elegant and dignified woman, I will have to remember her kind invitation, that dance... made me feel intimate and nostalgic.”

    Acheron is the emanator of Fuck Around and Find Out. She is 100% Don't Give A Fuck or 100% Gives All The Fucks, with no in-between.
    That said, I consider Black Swan the more interesting character in the trailer. She is smug, charismatic, sensual and has total confidence sifting through the memories of even a person she suspects is very dangerous-memories are after all her arena. She just didn't expect to gaze into an abyss that not only gazed back, but pulled her in and sneered at her pathetic attempts to escape.
    The dance is Black Swan taking delight in her dominance of the mind and memories, teasing out whatever she is curious about. When she gets closer to Finding Out and Acheron gets less passive, she is even more interested (1:35). Eventually, they are equally matched (2:16) and Black Swan is forced to actually ask what Acheron has done. The Acheron of what should be the passive past glares back and says:
    "Bitch, could you not?"
    Apparently Acheron takes offense to uninvited guests poking through her mind, and boy did Black Swan FIND OUT

      There is a lore/theory video by catwithbluehat that says that Acheron is probably an emanator of nihility and maybe even a self annihilator. Which means she doesn't really have her memories anymore and when Black Swan got close to the memory of Duke inferno she got a glimpse at nihility itself, which almost made her lose her existence since black Swan herself is an entity without a real body (official info by hoyoverse)

    Fun thing to note. At the end of the dance, Black Swan has gone completely limp. Meaning that, even though she survived, and seemingly got away from Acheron's mind, the only reason that she hasn't collapsed is because Acheron STILL has a grip on her. So even though Black Swan gave absolutely everything that she had, just to get away from Acheron and survive, she actually failed. Since Acheron still hunted her down and caught her, even out of the mind scape.
    Which only makes Black Swan's terror at the end even more valid, since a character that was introduced to seem almost untouchable, literally couldn't even get away from Acheron, without Acheron just letting her
    Also, Acheron's relationship to the Annihilation gang is actually pretty simple. The current head of the Annihilation gang is named Duke Inferno, and he is a, seemingly, immortal flame being.
    Acheron killed him.

    Acheron & Black Swan animated short description talking about Japanese themed dual planets in HSR "Izumo Gensai and Takama Divine Realm" (the new Planer Set lore):
    "The dual planets were intertwined in each other's tragic destiny, dancing an eternal rondo around a pitch-black great sun.
    In the beginning, one of the planets gave rise to humans. These people looked down, and named the land below "Izumo." These people looked up, and named the world above "Takamagahara."
    One day uninscribed in the annals, the Yaoyorozu-no-kami descended from Takamagahara. These demonic beasts named Kami overturned the skies, burned the rivers and oceans, and shattered the land - People realized in horror that it was not an invasion for rulership, dominance, or plunder. The evil Kami came only to kill.
    As the planet stood on the brink of death, Izumo embarked on a Kami-slaying journey, exhausting the might of the entire country to slay the calamity "Sovereign of Revelation" and forging the very first Edict Edge using its bestial body.
    Giving the Kami a taste of their own medicine, the wielder of these swords can recite the mantra contained within the blade to master the divine power of Takamagahara, and use it to combat the evil Kami and save the masses.
    From then on, Izumo started its long and arduous crusade, exchanging inordinate lives lost for the fall of one Kami after another, shattering countless mortal blades to forge the twelve Sentinels.
    In the merciless fight for survival, Izumo used the might of the Edict Edges to light up their uncivilized world of darkness in less than ten Amber Eras, building cities of dazzling neon lights.
    That distant Takama Divine Realm, once so far away, became so close within their reach -
    Yet history suddenly stopped there. The existence of the two planets instantly evaporated, disappearing into nothingness.
    Nowadays, the past of the border planet Izumo can only be gleaned from the scattered whispers in the universe. Academics hold various views regarding its disappearance, but none can solve the mystery.
    Izumo's history should have been a long flowing river, but it was severed in one cut, and all its past and future voided on emptiness' other shore.
    Did it never exist, and was it no more than a fabricated story? Did its histories never occur, and it ran aground on the beach of reverse causation? Was it yet another appalling experiment by Dr. Primitive, or was it a sign of the Voracity returning from the end of the Cosmos?
    Only that pitch-black great sun knows the answer, yet THEY remain silent, never speaking.
    Because everything that had happened will one day regress to the end, and everything that had ended is guaranteed to happen again. The universe undergoes an eternal recurrence under THEIR shadow, and Izumo is nothing more than the footnote for an ellipsis."
    Honkai parallels and references are here once again.

      ​@@georgieegamesIndeed. Maybe 'Acheron' was the only one who's left of this historical event, if its happened?
      About the name... Izumo is a place in real Japan (reference to City of izumo) and Gensei can mean something like 'Original' or "Present/Living World" (its like a title), i can guess.
      The latter's name is also very clearly a reference to Takamagahara, land of the heavenly gods in Japanese Shinto myth.
      In Japanese mythology, Takamagahara (高天原, "Plane of High Heaven" or "High Plane of Heaven", also read as Takaamanohara, Takamanohara, Takaamagahara, or Takaamahara), but same thing.
      So its like: "A divide between the mortal and divine realm".
      "Gensei no izumo to taka-ama no shinkoku".
      Real question - "which is which", cus it's interesting that the divide in this planar isn't between, heaven and hell, nothing as that, it's between humans and gods.
      "Izumo Gensai and Takama Divine Realm" relic Planet Set is for DPS and will release in 2.1 with in the Simulated Universe 'World 9 Update' btw.
      There is also... rumors about Japanese Planet "called" "Red (Aka-i)" but i don't know if it would be connected.

      @@georgieegames And more for the Honkai lore, I can talk without spoilers (things you don't yet know) and that what i think in speculation:
      Since i read the lore sometime ago and didn't read the actual actual story yet, after reading other comments i also remembered that 'Acheron' origin could also possibly be the reiteration of 'Honkai Gakuen: GGZ (or "Honkai 2" that comes before "HI3") bubble "universe" Hokushin Mei (Hokushin Yayi), which is a different person (the Ancestral 'Mei figure' that later changed her name for Raiden) that come before but pretty much even have similarities with HI3 Mei's as well. They also share the similarities in some artwork themes and details that was shown on stream.
      Acheron probably lost her friends and loved once, and then something happened to the planets. HSR alternative version of Hokushin Mei would be post version of GGZ events where things, lets say, didnt go for the best, while all core lore characters where involved (like DR.MEI, Kiana, Mei, etc) too.
      Everything repeats it's course with The Imaginary Tree (The UNIVERSE), in one way or another, like a Samsara, so we already have all Mei's versions assigned by the writers for the storyline in HSR too:
      Dr.MEI = Ruan Mei, the name comes from parents, so its like different person but the similar character aspects and role " crucial researcher" essentially.
      Hakushin Mei (Hakushin Yayi) \ Raiden Mei = Acheron. Not really Mei, but Mei at the same time in HSR.
      Now, where Mei goes there is usually can be a 'Kiana'. I suspect that the answer to where her HSR version would be also similar to GGZ - after all Hoyo did hidden, changed and retconned (like for example in HSR Concept Trailer Reburn 2 we see the HI3 Calore girl with Welt, ready to breach the Imaginary Tree on 2nd Divine Key Train - Space Juggernaut, but MHY later did rethink it, and Carlole with Reburn 2 for HSR also probably got retconned cus of new GGZ and HSR relation or something, doubt its just cus it was conceptual) many things as of now with Honkai to probably reuse it in the lore and stories later on, like Hoyo do.
      For HSR my two cents theory is that HSR "Acheron's" "Kiana is somehow now an Aoen or higher being that she is practically dead in normal terms. Or... absolutely dead, yep.
      “Can she cook” - is also important question from Hoyo addressed on the stream, it was usually Kiana who 'guided' Mei to start cooking more. Therefore, for example in Genshin, maybe its additional reason why another different iteration of Mei, that is Ei - can’t cook (and she only tries to be closer to Unknown Goddess and HevPrin). Them adding the “Can she cook” question on stream is probably going to be important, but who knows.
      As Shaoji talked in the stream about how HSR is a "Honkai series" game and "Honkai Universe", and long time fans will be surprised and will have feelings of nostalgia, while its still will be just as interesting for new fans too. So, i think its like both HG:GGZ and HI3 are being referenced with the parallels from the lore how in the new Planer Set.
      That would be extended speculation.

  • @spammonke7018
    @spammonke7018 3 місяці тому

    Let me give you a bit of context and lore. You see, there's a theory that she's an emanator of nihility...
    Each pathstriders has a faction, for example the elation, they're called the masked fools like sparkles and sampo, for remembrance, they're called the garden of recollection, some of them are memokeepers just like blackswan, for preservation, they're the IPC like aventurine and topaz. You get the idea, now for IX [aeon of nihility], yes "IX" is the name of the aeon of nilihity, it has a faction called self-annilihator and acheron are theorized to be one of them.
    Emanators are kinda like same with pathstriders but with much higher sense beliefs on the path they've chosen, for example the emanator of erudition is herta, one of the emanator of destruction is phantylia (a lord ravager) and acheron which to be suspected as the emanator of nihility.
    In the lore, self-annilihitors are kinda like slowly dying or something, its quite hard to understand, if you want to know more about self-annilihitors and the aeon itself, you can read it in the index on herta's office, from what I remembered self-annihilitor's memories are distorted and slowly fading away thus why acheron is forgetful most of the time, self-annilihitors are slowly fading away until they are taken to the blackhole which you see in the animation, that blackhole is IX itself. Remember the blackswan myriad celestia trailer? At the end where she was reading the card then suddenly the card of duke inferno disintegrated, which could've foreshadowed that he got killed off screen.
    Some parts of what I said about the lore of IX and the self-annilihitors may slightly be inaccurate but thats basically nihility in a nutshell

    That's for sure the Animators tried their best.
    By the way, the moment when the screen changes to black and red. I had a feeling that there was a second personality living inside Acheron. Some kind of monster that destroys everyone who tries to look at it. Because I had a strong feeling that the Swan was on the verge of death. Well, it's not for nothing that we were shown a lot of miniatures in the background where a predator runs after prey. And as we know Hoyo. They don't just show anything in their videos. And the annihilation team. They were so weak for Acheron that she didn't even remember them. It's incredibly creepy! It still gives me the creeps.
