@@-mauxanh-8598 I misremembered, it’s a visual novel that still needs translation work. Ma Feima (originally named Ma Yanqing) ended up marrying Lin Zhaoyu (basically YunLi).
You don't become best friends with someone that easily. Yunli opened up much more to the TB yet no one is calling them best friends because that takes time not just a conversation
I think the program Keeping Up with Star Rail kinda shows their current relationship. They gotten a lot closer and probably know each other's sword technique to the point that they could talk about it in high detail. Still has a bit of banter but what friendships don't.
Honestly Yunli seems to me as obsessed with a sword duel as Tartaglia from Genshin Impact is obsessed with fights. It’s always fun to see such characters who seems like enemies to us at first or at least someone who clearly doesn’t try to be friends but only after spending some time with them we become close friends! And gosh Yanqing’s character growth is insane, it’s been not fully on screen but it’s so precious to see how we were absent but things moved on for him, wow
Well said, part of why I like HSR is the characters growth stays relevant throughout the timeline even though it's not from the main story. If it was like Genshin, Yanqing might've been a loser forever or has his development reset after the event.
They compliment each other’s weaknesses which is good thing. They also do and says that makes each other stronger. I ship them because I personally think they would compliment each other in future. The scene where they talk about their goals and dreams like a beginning of love story. If they go get married someday have children, their child is going to be amazing swordsman. They’re test to train March 7th is like test to see how well they would raise an heir in the future. Also in Chinese culture it’s very common to ship like this. Especially your parents and grandparents when they meet someone who they think would match well with you. I can see Jing Yuan’s vision for why he wants two to hit off. He’s not called The Divine Foreseight for no reason lol 😂.
Yan was introduced as a character that was overconfident in his skills & abilities, but on 2.4 he was displayed as somewhere that had many doubts & unsure of himself, this changing his character. Encountering & challenging people that were beyond his abilities might had been a good thing for him as he probably never encounters anyone that had given him trouble in a fight prior to the Express arrival to Xiaozhou.
Guy got abused in the arbor disaster. Jingliu, Blade, Kafka, Tb. Had no chance. Absolute reality check if he thought himself as special. He's outstanding for a normal guy but not even close to special people. On the bright side if he grows up comparing himself to these he'll actually end up as a monster among monsters.
@@yixo He is special though, just not in the same league as the generals. He's stronger than what Feixiao was at his age whom is possibly hundreds of years younger than Jing is now.
That's what you would call exposure. Yes the talent is there, but you need to experience facing against opponents who are at the highest level to hone your skills. The catch is you also need the right mental fortitude to experience such losses and only then you'll excell in the field.
@@yixo That also explains why yanqing' kit involves not getting hit or else losing his special buff. It's basically a portrayal of how he overestimates his sword skills and considers himself special, only for that bubble to shatter once he actually starts getting hurt/real danger, forced to face the truth* and demotivating him in turn.
We all say in unison: "Thank you, Huaiyan! Thank you, March 7th!" 🗣‼ Great video! I noticed in your channel description you might cover Wuthering Waves. What are you gonna talk about? I think discussing what "The Lament" is, is a good topic.
Hmm, unfortunately I haven't found moments that really sparked a fire to discuss about Wuwa (plot is getting better tho definitely). I think it still needs some more polish and tighter writing.
@@ryuki9788 Nah, Community has to stop creating headcanon, in which Hoyoverse doesn't talk about the ships. Will the same be the case with Bayonetta? Cuz did they want a lesbian Bayonetta, if it was obvious that she was straight since the first game? If they don't know how to deal with it, the problem is with the community. There are some things that the community that l cannot defend, this is one of them: headcanos.
I don't think its fair to say Yanqing doesn't take care of his sword. Its a pretty basic thing to do for a swordsman which is maintain their blade. Yukong was using an analogy when she was talking about Yanqing. "miraculously became Best Friends" is a pretty big stretch. They argue a bit less and understand each other's point of view but they are hardly best friends or even friends for that matter.
I feel this video is so wrong about Yanqing’s past self (he wasn’t never cocky nor rude if you actually paid attention to his text messages and dialogues outside the main story that was on a crisis) but yeah his and Yunli’s dynamic is actually a nice thing too But please, I hope you read more about Yanqing for any future videos, he’s nothing like how the fandom portrays him, especially if you analyze his relationship with Jing Yuan that it’s actually very complex. Be careful next time 😢
Hmm, perhaps I should have approached it from the angle of Yanqing and Jing Yuan's dynamic. I suppose rather than being cocky he simply just wants to prove himself (abandonment trauma?). But I do think he's too rash at the beginning hence the impression of being cocky/immature. Wardance Yanqing definitely gave off different vibes to me. Thanks for the pointers, I'll do better next time!
@@pianime94 oh, he was definitely brash but mostly because he wanted to help Jing Yuan lol, actually I feel the difference between Yanqing in the CN fandom and the EN fandom is different, even in JP, his Seiyuu, Marina Inoue gave a nice description for his character in the anniversary Seiyuu congrats “JP Voice Actor: Marina Inoue: “Hello everyone, I’m Marina Inoue, the voice of Hikokyo. Congratulations to Honkai: Star Rail on Yanqing upcoming first anniversary! The character I portray, Yanqing, is also about to celebrate his one-year debut, so double congratulations! Yanqing is a young swordsman prodigy who’s very confident in his abilities. He’s a bit impulsive and has a small, almost endearing arrogance that’s hard to dislike. At the same time, he has a serious side, focusing on honing his skills. He’s the kind of kid who understands himself and faces his own nature head-on. I’m really looking forward to seeing whether he will experience significant growth in the future. Let’s all witness together how he develops! Please continue to support both Yanqing and Honkai: Star Rail” (that was before 2.4, so he definitely wasn’t that immature or unserious before) And in Bilibili there’s a video that also tries to correct the non-CN people who thought he was an “arrogant brat” before the 2.4 update: www.bilibili.com/video/BV1VE4pe5EQB/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click&vd_source=eb0dd60ebb77fcc9edca55785fcdebe9 The comments on that video say it all lmao So yeah, I feel there’s a big culture difference in how the west thinks of Yanqing vs how the CN/JP community thinks of him
I heard people disliked Yunli because of how childish and rude she was at first to yanqing, but honestly I feel like it's very real 😂 their personalities clash, they'll obviously dislike each other at the start, and it's just a whole lot more interesting to see them go from just throwing mean words at each other to genuinely piss each other off to doing but from friendship instead of actually disliking each other I feel like they benefit from each other a lot, yanqing remembers that he doesn't need to be overly mature, and yunli learns that she shouldn't just jump into situations without really calculating it first. It became apparent to me in yunli's quest, although yanqing wasn't there I could clearly see that yunli was a girl that needed to learn a lot of the traits we can see yanqing has, and yanqing can learn a lot from the traits yunli has too They're perfectly written friends, from my perspective
They will continue the bloodline obviously. JY is grooming Yanqing to be his successor, it's implied he'll be stronger than him. Sword couple of the Xianzhou nice.
Gameplay wise, yanqing gameplay avoids to take damage while yunli need to be attacked as often as possible. It's just weird that yunli is physical type. Not fire
I haven't looked but I already know AO3 has been cranking out frenemies to lovers fics of these two lol. (Not sure how I feel about them needing to be lovers cuz... they don't, but if they can really start to get along I could see it being really organically possible much later on down the road. Even if that's just a "So... thanks for that. Want to go get a bite to eat? That [insert miniboss/boss name here] didn't go down easily at all, and I'm exhausted.")
So uh i havent completed most of the quests of the game so i didnt knew the yanqing and jingliu scene...Damn bro yanqing managed to cut jingliu's attack in half even tho jingliu didnt used much power in it but still impressive
If Jing Yuan is building a friendship for Yanking and Yunli, they should set sail into the sunset and never look back. However, the saddest part is that Yanqing and Yunli may one day be forced to part ways, as the former is destined to lead the Xianzhou Luofu while the latter is groomed to guide the Xianzhou Zhuming. Even so, they have centuries-perhaps even millennia-before that fateful day arrives.
Little fan theory: when we go to Zhuming, we'll run into Jingliu and so Yanqing will want to fight her first rather than Yunli, which will make the latter angry, thinking that Yanqing has completely forgotten the promise they made at the end of the Luofu arc 2, or even that he has denigrated Yunli by wanting a “re-match” against Jingliu. Seeing this, Jingliu thinks back to Blade and Baiheng, prompting him to add his two cents to reconcile Yanqing and Yunli over this misunderstanding.
There is this meme footage of 2 indian guys fighting and one of them is in the car. And the only phrase they know was "fk u bloody" and then at the end they said have a nice day. Basically yunli and yanqing in a nutshell
The ppl who said they bf and gf or like wife amd husband honestly give the same vibe as the ppl who have their crush ask for a pencil and now they assume they're dating. Like friendships exists it isn't just you're acquaintances and then partners. Also to those saying they aren't children they still are, they may be long life species and therefore have an age of maybe 30 or 40 but they are still children by those standards much like Huo Huo or even Klee in genshin. Just because they're a different race does mean they still aren't children by those standards.
Now please say that to other ships as well, especially the non-straight ships which are even more famous than Yanli. If you can and somehow get clowned/cancelled by twitter or reddit, by then you'll probably realize that you're wasting your time because medium like games and films are meant for entertainment/leisure purpose. If you're entertained with lore or meta or whatever you like, then good for you. Some people find entertainment solely from characters interactions, despite knowing how absurd such headcannons irl relationships. So, are we going to be party destroyer? Let people have fun, especially when it's in a content made for such people. You can make fun of them shippers, that's your right, just do it somewhere else, where the content is made for you and your fellow. agree with second paragraph though.
Relax, lmao. it's a cute ship so I don't know what makes you so irked about it. Hoyo even names an achievement "Cross of Blades and Hearts" after their battle cutscene.
Yanqing and Yunli feel like the “F*ck you and see you tomorrow!” kind of friendship, and I am all for it.
HELP💀
My typical day with the boys. Along with some slurs💀
@@Wurstbrot-191Correction:
Racial Slur
best friends at its finest
That was pretty much day in the life for me and my coworkers
Whether you ship them romantically or platonically, you can't deny that March was like a practice child for them lmao

In Honkai Impact 3 manga, they are a married couple.

Yeah I'd like to think the program canonically takes place in the middle of March's training, haha.
