I wonder if anybody remembers the beginning of the story quest... the line if you speak to Sparkle and black Swan.... thise are the lines spoken at the end of this quest... the memories of this quest happens before Astral Express came to Penacony. ALSO.... "What has 4 legs in the morning, 2 during the day, and 3 at night." Human It's an old riddle told by the Sphinx, the riddle talks about the cycle of human life... Baby crawl, people walk, and old people usually need a cane.
So the post scene at the end was basically after everything that happened in the companion quest. Basically foreshadowing another issue coming to Belobog (Bronya cant catch a break). Also teasing a 5 star Masked Fool Sampo which is pretty hype
So I’m curious what you guys think of this, because a lot of people have brought up that this could’ve potentially been pre-Astral Express arrival to Belebog. Wherein Sampo was aware of the stellaron crisis likely coming to a climax on that planet with our arrival on the horizon, but of course it can mean that this scene was in fact after all of that and a new threat is on the horizon.
@@Catalyst_08 Sampo had to retrieve his mask to prepare for the crisis, but we see no sign of it at all in any previous event, so clearly this could only point to a post Cocolia new threat.
@@Catalyst_08 It is pre-Astral Express arrival, but to Penacony not Belobog. This takes place a bit before the beginning of the 2.0 mission. Maybe a few days? Who knows, but it's recent. It's also one of the events that appear in the very likely prophetic dream we have at the start. You can confirm this by recalling the Memory Bubble on Belobog that appears after the end of the Pokemon event. There we have Sampo talking to Giovanni about the end of the event that definitely takes place after the crew has visited Belobog because obviously, mentions Hook being the secret player which wouldn't have been possible before the Stellaron crisis was resolved and mentions that Sparkle (without giving her name) was going to Penacony. So yes, this is a tease of things to come and likely a 5* Sampo (maybe, hopefully). The latter is in the air since i don't think there is any info about this even being a possibility. I'm guessing we'll find out more in 2.4/2.5 if not pre-3.0. Post-Penacony for sure.
Sparkle's pursuit of elation is different compared to Sampo or other fools we've met in that she has no limit. Samp might con some people or prank em but he draws the line at kids or malicious harm. Sparkle would stab someone and dance on their body if it brought her joy. She has no rules or expectations she adheres to.
I think I'm summery Sampo background artist He prepares and pushes some pieces under the role of silly goofy Guy so no one expects him to be the main planner of everything Giovanni a guide/narrative/side character He showed us the way he wasn't An ally nor an enemy he just showed the path Sparkle script writer/director She made us go to the path she can use and sacrifice every single pawn for it
Also, Sampo seems more than willing to be the butt of the joke, and takes his failures in stride. Sparkle on the other hands seems VERY intent on always being on the winning side.
@davidwu8420 samp is an adult with a stable ego. Sparkle seems to be desperate for attention from what swan implied and very egotistical in that she places her Id above anything else.
Black Swan and Sparkle have a Batman v Joker relationship but then Sampo and Sparkle have a Jesse and James relationship. This was the best companion quest by a mile.
I hope that 5* Sampo ends up being like a millennia-old emanator of Aha. He knows way more about the wider universe than a Belobogian could, yet he cares about Belobog enough that he can’t just be a wandering Fool who ended up there for a few years. My theory is that, years ago, he was dicking around and being a menace on Belobog, the Eternal Freeze trapped him on the planet, and being stuck in an isolated, depressing, frozen prison for 800 years made him chill the fuck out.
i dont know if its just me but i started screaming dying when sparkle/kanabi's death image was shown cause of how they panned it like fucking danganronpa oml even the music my lord and master aaaa
@@snivelill4457 yep thats the point why it is written like that - at least going by what our japanese - japanese teacher toled us in the 2 language classes I had back during bachlor at university looks like fireflowers (at least back in the day) in the sky and thats why they named it like that - not that fireworks is much better/creativ^^ mfg Olli
2:08 Sunday: Somehow, a nightmare called "Death" has descended upon Penacony, striking indiscriminately, bringing spiritual death to all equally... The key word here is "spiritual death". The concept of spiritual death has varying meanings. For example what I found on the internet, spiritual death refers to a state of separation or disconnection from one’s spiritual essence, the divine, or higher consciousness.
Okay look I have to say this: the Masked Fools are just a Joker fan club gone a bit too far. Aside from Sparkle's catchphrase currently being "why so serious," the whole buttons that can blow the other button holder up lifted from the Dark Knight, and the fact that Sparkle bonked a dude on the head Harley Quinn style with a massive mallet like Harley would, we also have Giovanni over in the Pokemon event sounding like Mark Hamill's Joker a bit too much for comfort and even the Trailblazer picking up on that with one of their replies during the event being literally "Why so SERIOUS!? Let's put a happy little fire on this place!" to even March's astonishment. Hell I'm almost sure that second crime scene having all of the scenarios be true and possible is a reference to Joker's "multiple choice past" comment from the Killing Joke. At this point I expect Ast Rickley to look like Luke Skywalker and use a lighsaber just to complete the reference to Mark Hamill. And if you think Hoyo won't do that because they're afraid of Disney/Lucas Arts, look up Cosmic Expression Griseo and her weapon of choice.
for me this mission just confirms sparkle absolute ultra insanity, the first thing that came into my mind when i saw her valetine's art was shes probably the type who would absolutely drug the chocolate, literally drowns you in chocolate watching you die slowly because she thought this was the best way to reward us back. truly just the most deranged evil unhinged demented insane psychotic character in the game, applaud for the writing team to be able to write a character that made people feel this kind of hatred lmao
37:46 that’s actual a real riddle and the answer is People. 4 means crawling like a baby, 2 means when we walk on two feet, and 3 is when we’re old and have to use a cane which is considered as a third leg
Hanabi means firework in Japanese with it being separated to the roots hana means flower and bi or rather the kanji for it is used to signify fire. She seems based on summer festivals in her character designs. The best guess I have is maybe "sparkle" references sparklers that are more colloquial in the US? Not really a solid guess but localization is often silly.
If crazy , why so cute...and short XD But man, i dint know this was before Belobog , but wait we have the dream trasitions to realm realm, so was that a flashback
At least they didn't call Sparkle "Firework" in english, which is what Hanabi means. Not to put down Hanabi as a name by any means, I'm just glad they didn't go with the direct translation, also I quite like her being called Sparkle, seems fitting for a masked fool Also the freaking red herring XD
im still confused on 2 answer, swan dream dance partner, im tinkering between us (the mc) or acheron cause she's the most mysterious of all and her identity was reveal to be an emanator
*Spoiler Theory* . . . . . . . Sparkle's Body = Firefly Sparkle = SAM *Sparkle disguise as Sparkle's Body for everyone to see, and Sparkle's Body has found dead but she is actually faking her own death.* SAM disguise as Firefly for everyone to see, and Firefly has found dead but she is actually faking her own death.
Unlike genshin women, star rail women are 50/50 at best. So many are just trash and the game forces you to be friends with them like Topaz and Ruan Mei
@sexy_waifus At least Topaz has character growth and admits to mistakes. Everything in Genshin is a gaslight, lol. Even with new areas, it's the same crap, deal with archon, get power move on. No endgame still plus the grind to advance characters takes way too long. I would have taken your opinion seriously without the "Unlike genshin women".

I think I'm summery
Sampo background artist
He prepares and pushes some
pieces under the role of silly goofy
Guy so no one expects him to be
the main planner of everything
Giovanni a guide/narrative/side character
He showed us the way he wasn't
An ally nor an enemy he just
showed the path
Sparkle script writer/director
She made us go to the path she
can use and sacrifice every
single pawn for it
She’s perfect
Also, Sampo seems more than willing to be the butt of the joke, and takes his failures in stride. Sparkle on the other hands seems VERY intent on always being on the winning side.

My own careless nature didn’t know that was actually Sparkle at the end there from the message.
I got fooled by her mask again and again.
I'm always happy to see Sampo. He may be the rat man, but he's such a delight for me. Black Swan was great here too - especially her "cute" voice 😂
Waitting for 5* Sampo to drop =)) just because he getting his mask back(I assume The Mask Fool draw power from Aha through the mask).
yh me too
I hope that 5* Sampo ends up being like a millennia-old emanator of Aha.

Yup, same here. I was in a call with friends and exclaimed “this is damn Danganronpa!”
Kokichi would be proud (he would probably fit very well in the Masked Fools too)
im skipping everyone if there is a 5 star sampo
Considering Sampo has yet to use his Mask, I won't be surprised if 5 Star Sampo is when he actual use his Mask to be at his full power.
Will help make him more than just a lesser black swan I suppose
@gameb9oy he might have different path and/or element as a 5 star (I.e., Dan Heng and IL)
iirc hanabi means literally fire-flower - yep sounds fitting for space tao's design

That's just the literal individual kanji translation. 花火 as a word means firework, which it is also translated to in the other non-EN languages.

I still aint forgiven Sparkle for pitting me against Death
I find Sampo to be a annoyance
I love Black Swan
Bro, Black Swan is absolutely insane! She really manipulated the memories of Sparkle and Sampo. 😅
I'm the only one who noticed that the Trailer for Sparkle's "monodrama" Is this a sample of this quest?
This man really didn’t get the riddle of the sphinx
I love Sparkle with everything I am.
fyi zhong means middle in chinese so its actualy left right middle lmao
Pretty sure this companion quest is a prequel of the story
I'm waiting for 5 star Eminator Sampo. 🎉
4star wind dot lil bro spend time with her 5star wind dot older sister

But man, i dint know this was before Belobog , but wait we have the dream trasitions to realm realm, so was that a flashback
Funfact: the Trashcan was ripping in the Cn Sub
i got fooled i was sus but i was like maybe Black swan did forget and yeah got fooled
Don't tell me zhongshan is a roundabout way of saying center for left right and center
So happy for more HSR content but are you going to do lantern rite?
I just spent the entire companion quest staring at Sampo's hip windows. Like, my guy....my willpower is only so strong.

Unless Sparkle originally came from Space Tokyo, there's zero indication for now to insist what's into her. 😏

im still confused on 2 answer, swan dream dance partner, im tinkering between us (the mc) or acheron cause she's the most mysterious of all and her identity was reveal to be an emanator
The reason we're getting 5-star masked Sampo is because he's salty everyone's benching him for Black Swan.
