Okay, the moment when W can't even make a good doodle of a flower really tugged at my heart. Just like with her "terrible handwriting" in Wiš'adel on-boarding quote, nobody ever taught her anything that doesn't involve killing.
the whole piece is about the curse of the sarcaz and all of them were doomed from the start, the father, the daughter, W, all behave the same. the fact that theresa gave amiya the crown a non-sarcaz. she did it because the sarcaz cannot save themselves.
FINALLY THEY POSTED IT! Still got the chills watching this animation like when it first showed on CN stream. Now after reading Babel and Ch14, it made me understand more of W frustrations at the time of Her Highness death. This animation really amplified the feelings i got reading the story. I really wish they do more animation like this for key points of the story, cause the visualization really give extra impact after reading the story
It's conflicting, one time it's trying to make you sympathize with her but also at the same time alot of the people she killed was implied to have children that was orphaned like her and because of her

I love the artstyle in these animations and Endfield, how they use dark contrast instead of like a lot of games that are super bright and colorfull to the point where it hurts my eyes sometimes.
This one happens between Babel and the later parts of Darknight Memoirs. By the time W meets Hoederer and Ines again in Chernobog, she's changed drastically since they last met in Babel...
Boom! Is pretty much her default modus operandi. Just look at her throwing explosives everywhere in chapter 14. Whereas this is her wanting to do it personally to get some sort of closure after Theresa’s death.
Love how W tries to draw w crayons only to find that it's not for her, nonetheless she still picks it up again and draws as hinted in the post credit scenes with doodles. Very cute child mercenary.
god im sorry but i really love this PV so much. the mercenary was like a parallel to theresa, doing anything what it takes to at least give a good future for the people they love a chance. at the end of the day, all of sarkaz live at the desperation of a good future, but with it comes a seemingly never ending cycle of violence
Ehh, not really. They all played a part to have Theresa assassinated. And chose to follow her evil brother Theresis. And this happened, because they could not stand Babel members being other races. She opened up her arms and showed them the way that's outside of violence. And instead, they killed her Doctors, operators, and other crew, because they're not Sarkaz. Eventually forcing Theresa to relocate her base out of Kazdel. And eventually having her killed. Just so they can act in vengeance to the Rest of Terra. And they assumed like MORONs that with Theresa's death. The Civil war between Sarkaz's will end. Not realizing the hornets nest they stirred!!! Like the video Getting Hunted down by Wis'adel, and also by Sweep units like Ascalon.(not in video) In the end. They chose it. What's sad for the last victim of Wis'adel. As you witness. He clearly regretted it due to the fact he went AWOL with the Military Commission. By trying to flee to a nomadic city with his daughter.
@jamessilva1259 hahaha yes that's a point but it's the video's motifs im mainly talking about-the contrast of two guardians taking care of a child, one embodies love and nurture while one does everything to keep his daughter alive amidst the bloodshed. But in reality, they fit the same two molds of their contrast. But seriously I'm just being way too sappy with this vid 😭🙏
@@jamessilva1259 "Hatred" is not something that you can magically put it down when somebody randomly came to your door and single-sidedly told you to put it down. Are you willing to let people from another country which constantly stand on the opposite side of yours (or more specifically, constantly at war with yours) to rule over your country?
@@jamessilva1259 Hatred is not one of those things that you can put it down just because some strangers came to your door and then single-sidedly told you to put it down while your house is still in the ruin. Your choice is not your choice when there is only one option available.
@@jamessilva1259 Those mercs didn't choose to get involved in the assassination because they support Theresis, but because they were simply too ignorant to think about any consequences of their actions, too desperate to escape the Kazdale, and too naively to believe that they can let the girl to have a better life by simply moving her to somewhere other else, which is why W told the last merc by the end of the animation: "You won't reach it, much less her.".
The one thing I love about the traditions of the Sarkaz, is that even with all their arts and abilities, they hold on their tags and Daggers in the highest regard and fight with them more, only using arts to hinder each other. Their name and the weapon holds their legacies. And when they die, another can take their place and their responsibilities.
darknights memoirs was the first intermezzi featuring W, and after 4 years we've come full circle. i finally noticed the love of the writers and production team for her. absolutely no hate to that, i hope u make theresis explode, wisadel!
- see the child in 13:55 - suddenly remember something in Rewinding Breeze - Recollection - the precise dialog went like this : Mudrock : ...Do me a favor. Leithanian Infected : What are...? Are these someone's bones? Sarkaz remains? Sarkaz Warrior : They were small... Probably a child. Sarkaz Warrior : Here. It's a broken knife. Rusted. This child might've died in battle. Leithanian Infected : ...... Mudrock : Mm... help me bury them, at least. Leithanian Infected : You could use your Arts to... Mudrock : I want... to do it with my own hands. Mudrock : So lend yours too. Leithanian Infected : Ah. Okay... - I hope she's NOT the same child The theory source was from Facebook's user name Doremy, he post his theory in "Re:Arknights Indonesia" group in Facebook
The last little girl couldn't even lift the knife that an adult could use with ease. The earlier shout from W was because she suddenly realized that the 'something' this group of mercenaries was escorting was that little girl. The crayon box fell to the ground, but the little girl still held onto a crayon when she left, instead of a weapon. For this group of mercenaries who participated in the assassination of Tretia and acted as peripheral support, their motives and purposes might be as random as luck. It could be just to protect this little girl, or it could be just for the way out for the Sarkaz. - At this point, things became too ironic. This group of people committed the crime of assassinating (even if just in support of) Tretia, but their final decision was to send the little girl, whom they regarded as hope, out of Kazdel. But for W, their actions erased her hope. The little girl might be able to escape, perhaps she could have a new life... but what about Tretia? What about her who followed Tretia? You take away my hope, and I take away yours. But in the end- the little girl, who could have chosen to leave all this behind alone, chose to turn back. She dropped the crayon in her hand and picked up the heavy blade. At that moment, W's expression changed to shock, but also to a tragic relief. Even if she returned to this familiar chain of hatred, the little girl did not choose to truly use the lives of others as stepping stones to escape all this. Even though that was exactly what others wanted to do, a noble yet personal sacrifice- she refused to do so. Just as W sought revenge for Tretia, this little girl also chose to return to this chain for those who wanted her to walk a different future. Responsible, yet lacking meaning from a profit calculation perspective- but she still chose this. - This is truly a scene filled with both despair and hope. comment from cn
The moment they sacrificed themselves for her, it ceased being a choice or option. It became her duty, responsibility to shoulder not to waste the lives that died for her. Now she must live at all costs, not for her but for the ones who died for her. Living on is harder than giving in to impulsive emotions and then die after for sweet release.
@@Ha_Anh9999 It's implied in video she turned back for her papa, witnessed his death and picked his dagger to try to avenge him consumed by sorrow just for W to end her life as well. All the trouble the whole gang went through poof. Well her sarkaz blood talking I guess.
The first 3D animation PV equivalent to the Near Light Event Teaser. It has a good story, good osts, military knife fights, and summarizes the world of Arknights. Like the Nearlight PV, it has a good story, a good osts , sword and archery martial art, and describes the world of Arknights. Sarkaz is about revenge. Kazimier about discrimination. It was a pleasure watching these two masterpieces.
god damn how is it possible to keep upping yourself with such incredible consistency. this is ABSOLUTE CINEMA. srsly arknights is incredibly fun but I feel like your potential at storytelling is so much more than a TD gatcha game. this pairs so well with chapter 14 and the babel event. hope this incredible streak continues with future content.
@@Skeke That!! That is why I love this ost specifically. Music with vocals like that just itches a nice part in my brain. And that's also why Under Tides hit me more mentally than any other OST
I finally watched the CN livestream's video first before coming straight here after 6 months and man do these 15 minutes hit HARD. Her memories messing with her mind and her frustrations of why and how she lost her light out of her eternal darkness as a mercenary, as well as the mere fact she couldn't draw a flower anymore. And after reading Babel there is only one who is at fault for her death Wis'adel's emotions and understanding how she lost a mother are amplified so many times more! I've been saying it for 4 years now but Arknights since Chapter 5-6 onwards is and always remains at the peak of gacha games and story-writing for me. I can't wait for Endfield, here's to another 10 years Arknights~
That was pretty cool! Loved they didn't shy away with the blood, it really nails the darker atmosphere. Hope we see more in future animations (where relevant of course)
Wisadel really saw Theresa as a sort of parent figure, she's even juxtaposed with Amiya alot of times, she sees herself in Amiya. the way the white flowers symbolized their innocence and Theresa's vision contrasts all the violence in this one. the scenery, music direction the fight scenes are just all too good, 100/10 animation, they deserve some sort of international award for this. RIP to the caster Sarkaz dad, his daughter didn't deserve this, Wisadel was such a villain in that scene
It was implied that his daughter survived and went on to become a merc. It drew the parallel with when W picked up the old W's dagger and got her new name: W, took on W's mantle and became the new owner of the dagger. According to the old ways, when you pick up a fallen merc's weapons, you take their place. (...that was a lot of W's)
Stop being soft heart to enemy, daughter can grow up to find revenge and cause a lot of damage in the future, more blood spill. So it has to end her before she will cause in the future when she grew up.
@@animelife1531 "she can grow up and try to revenge her father" is not even a reason for W to kill that girl. I bet she would find it more thrilling to let her try.
This one the best animation that HG ever done. I hope they can do for Lone Trail animation as well like this. I as player will try my best to support the game so they can make this animation in the future 🤗
Most people thinks W was gonna kill that girl off lol but I interprete her scoff at the end in 2 ways: First is, she saw herself in that girl holding the knife as W had taken a life from an early age. Second is, we all know the meaning of inheriting a dagger from the fallen; to carry on their name and legacy. But in this case, it shows us that none of the Sarkaz can escape from the cycle of hatred and violence.
I watched it first 6 months ago and it blew my mind. The animation, combat and W's single-minded pursuit of revenge creating another like her. Its the best animation the released so far. I do wish they showed more of Theresa and W interacting rather than Theresa nurturing Amiya
7 Palabras: E S E N C I A Fuera de bromas, este es de los pocos estudios de juegos, tanto Yostar como Hypergryph han estado haciendo un gran trabajo y solo han mejoran con los años. P.D.: Espero con ansias la salida de Endfield
I think it's left to interpretation by the viewer. I don't even think the writers of this short made a definitive answer to whether she did or didn't. Which I love because we can make arguments for either possibility. Just great writing overall with very little spoken dialogue.
According to the Sarkaz old ways, when you pick up a fallen merc's weapons, you take their place. It drew parallels with when W picked up the old W's dagger. It's why the video is called "The Daggers' Inheritors"
@@Pramit2000 I think she die, she choose to pick the dagger instead running away. Also this is W before meeting hoader and ines again so the chance for her to let it go for fun is abyssmall.

@@animelife1531 "she can grow up and try to revenge her father" is not even a reason for W to kill that girl.
I bet she would find it more thrilling to let her try.
@@MudMud-ui9mfIf i understand right, W is hunting down EVERYONE involved in Theresa’s death.
This one the best animation that HG ever done. I hope they can do for Lone Trail animation as well like this. I as player will try my best to support the game so they can make this animation in the future 🤗
I've been waiting for this to be posted for so long! I love this animation
Most people thinks W was gonna kill that girl off lol but I interprete her scoff at the end in 2 ways:
First is, she saw herself in that girl holding the knife as W had taken a life from an early age.
Second is, we all know the meaning of inheriting a dagger from the fallen; to carry on their name and legacy. But in this case, it shows us that none of the Sarkaz can escape from the cycle of hatred and violence.
Yeah, i really doubt W kill that girl.
At most she just gonna knock her out and left her on a nearby town
I watched it first 6 months ago and it blew my mind. The animation, combat and W's single-minded pursuit of revenge creating another like her. Its the best animation the released so far.
I do wish they showed more of Theresa and W interacting rather than Theresa nurturing Amiya
even if he defeat W with that amount of rock cancer growing pulverizing his organ, his time was already up.
Bro i can't decide HG is music company or animation studio right now😂
Imagine the Anime with this kind of quality animation ...
Ah, so that's where the explosives come from...
This is truly a *masterpiece* .
If only they had the budget to make an anime with this quality... Even just movies...
they have,but they won't.
Different studio
7 Palabras: E S E N C I A
Fuera de bromas, este es de los pocos estudios de juegos, tanto Yostar como Hypergryph han estado haciendo un gran trabajo y solo han mejoran con los años.
P.D.: Espero con ansias la salida de Endfield
Yostar es el operador, Hypergryph es el creador.
can't stop getting goosebumps
woah 15 minutes of gorgeous animation. this is awesome
This is beautifully made
I don't think she killed her given how much we know about her.
First one, but still watching 5th time in a year.
I think it's left to interpretation by the viewer. I don't even think the writers of this short made a definitive answer to whether she did or didn't. Which I love because we can make arguments for either possibility. Just great writing overall with very little spoken dialogue.
According to the Sarkaz old ways, when you pick up a fallen merc's weapons, you take their place. It drew parallels with when W picked up the old W's dagger. It's why the video is called "The Daggers' Inheritors"
@@afgnnzw True. I believe she didn't because she didn't in Darknight Memoir too.
@@Pramit2000 I think she die, she choose to pick the dagger instead running away. Also this is W before meeting hoader and ines again so the chance for her to let it go for fun is abyssmall.
@@alektralainheart8541 Can't say this didn't cross my mind. I hope she live though
