They have done this with a few NPCs, too. Orlenda (a pinked-haired NPC in Lumina square) is an elf and Archie (found in Ballet Twins street) appears to be a hybrid between an elf and a cat thiren. Lady Sunbringer could be a dracanoid judging by her horns and that one girl who's part of the trio that pushed back the Dark Wall appears to be an angel of some sort. I have no idea who General Chop and Junior Chop are supposed to be, though. My best guess is tengu.
@@masanobumaouthey are actually look like Darumas... Maybe they are like Onis.. Like ya know.. Yokai people.. I wonder if there's Kappa people or the other Iconic yokais of Japanese folklore.. Miyabi is most definitely a Spirit Fox people and not your average Fox thiren.
When this gets unlisted, I expect an increase in views. Cause the amount of lore we got was insane. I'm happy they expanded on Yanagi and Soukaku's relationship. It brings things into a new perspective and I can't wait to learn more about the Oni clan.
this teaser was really good, i love when teasers go into the lore not just of the fetured character but the world, i dont think we knew about there being a war with the oni race(at least i wasnt aware, im still learning the lore of zzz).
Former Obol, became the new leader of a tribe by becoming a hybrid, and transferred/promoted to HANDS likely for her contributions in ending the conflict. That’s a hell of a backstory for big tiddy glasses OL.
I believe she was handpicked by Miyabi to build Section 6.. Section 6 is Miyabi's own creation, a special squad under HANDS.. so she probably picked the members herself..
"Smells like sister" that just broke my heart 💔 Soukaku has always been so cute to me like, she's the child of the group and now, seeing that basically Yanagi took care of her, I hope we can see more of their relationship on the Yanagi's mission.
Interesting. So Soukaku isn’t just some mythical degree of Thiren after all. There’s actual Youkai out there too. Now I’m wondering just what else is out there.
I wonder tho... Whats if the battle against the onis are somehow related to the thirens. Even Ben gets called out sometimes being a big thiren. But its much worse for Onis as they have simillar looks to ethereals with their horns and all.
This is so Beautiful, Sad, Heartwarming and Amazing. Now it all makes sense at 4:17 why Soukaku hugs Yanagi like that and why Yanagi treats Soukaku like her own little sister in the end.
The amount of varied species there are in the ZZZ universe is going to be insane, it's already crazy that we have both angels and demons(oni), just think about what else we have in here.
I see a lot of people thinking Yanagi was a part of OBOL Squad. While she might've been part of the Defense Force Obsidian Division, it might not necessarily be OBOL Squad, which is led by Defense Force Sergeant Soldier 11 Also not Chrysoberyl or Diamond division since she specifically mentions *New* Eridu at the end. Both of those divisions were wiped out when Eridu was destroyed She looks so good in that tactical gear though
We had no clue what their relationship was before this. We've barely gotten much on them, they've only interacted in game during the Hollow zero introduction 1.3 will be the first real exploration of HAND & HSO6
@@calebjones7868 Thanks for the explanations! I'm a HSR player that got interested by ZZZ, but haven't played yet. I thought maybe something about them had already been revealed.
@@calebjones7868 I mean, Yanagi said that she takes care of a girl(lives with a girl) and that she regulates her meals. I think they said in a profile that she gets flowers on mother's day.

I love this game. The lore is amazing. You never realize Yanagi actually a half oni. This lore is deep and dark. I hope we get more about Oni race lore.
@@lysfranc8782 Oh I thought oni leader give her blood to her. I don't think they just want to make blood pact because why need to kill the old leader oni just to make blood pact? It's more reasonable for Yanagi get mix her blood with the oni because the last scene Soukaku says you smell like sis and to lead the oni tribe because she half oni now.
@@cynzmia7387 , well, blood pact is performed by mixing the blood. So far ZZZ was pretty... Scientific with its worlbuilding and blood transfusion, unless donor's blood has some mystical properties, won't make the recipient into a hybrid. So I'm pretty sure that Yanagi is 100% human.
I think it's just a figure of speech that she has Oni blood in her veins, meaning she has blood oath with the leader of the Oni. Thus, she became the guardian of the Oni tribe. Not necessarily that she has Oni blood literary in her veins, she will die because y'know, science.
This is incredibly unexpected, but once again demonstrates how Mihoyo takes advantage of small details and gives them brutal depth. The simple gestures full of trust and brotherhood that we saw between Nagi and Soukaku now take on much more strength now that we know the backstory behind it (Which makes it even more tender and sad at the same time). That said, is Nagi some sort of hybrid between the Oni and the Humans? Do the other members of Section 6 know about it? What other war conflicts has New Eridu had with other races? This opens up a lot of new future possibilities to explore. I know we all love that fun and playful tone that characterizes ZZZ, but if anything characterizes Mihoyo and his games it's that the story can always get a lot more depressing and dark. PS: Kudos to the developers for this amazing trailer, Nagi (and soon Miyabi) is very excitingly awaited.
I think the Oni blood in her veins is just a figure of speech. Meaning, she is in a blood oath with the leader of the Oni tribe. I mean she will die if there is literary Oni blood in her veins.
In Genshin we received lore first and then demo trailer, but in ZZZ it is the opposite, first demo trailer and then lore trailer; and a bonus minialbum music video.😮

So much lore and so many questions. So Yanagi was part of Obol squad? why were they at war with the Oni? Can't wait to find some answers, especially about Obol squad and perhaps more about Solider 11 Also - Young Soukaku is so adorable
Ahh ok I just got mixed up then. The icon/logo and her color scheme made me think S11. tbh S11's story is kind of hazy to me and we know little to nothing about The Defense force and their divisions (at least what I know of) so ty guys for the info! but still makes me wonder why they had a war and bombed the oni. I guess time will tell.
@@Prestigebox well all you really need to know is that the obsidian division is the last remaining division of the defense force and that there once was a diamond division before it got completely wiped out.
Yanagi is now tied for my new favorite character. I'm in love with her gameplay & now her lore is going to pull me in too? Dang, this was a good setup to making me want more of her.
This is such a huge lore drop for Yanagi! Now I'm definitely getting her! So Yanagi inherited this Oni's blood? I dunno how that works but, that is so cool and, honestly very sweet of her to take care of these Oni's. This whole teaser gave me a Demon Slayer vibe, not sure that's the correct comparison, I should give Demon Slayer a watch sometime! Guess this is where Yanagi's motherly side became a thing around H.A.N.D, Soukaku is the person she's taking care of! Pretty interesting that Oni's had conflict among humans. Kinda hope they expand on Thiren lore too because my impressions from the last Ben Bigger Trust event, Thirens weren't as welcome as before and were even feared.
Yeah the past of this game is so freaking intriguing. What was Eridu before the fall. What caused it. How was the world before it. I can't wait for more!
Well.... this explains why Soukaku holds her to high regard. This was really good and a dark change of pace to ZZZ. I always like when games that seem cheery when you play it have some dark lore making you question its world more and more.
Never thought they'd give her such a dark backstory. Not only was Yanagi the one who stopped the war against Oni, but the rebel leader's blood was transferred in to her as a way to pass on their torch and fulfill the role their leader couldn't accomplish. What makes this even more depressing is that Sokaku still feels her sister's blood inside of Yanagi and therefore treats her as a sister rather than a parent who raised her. Comparing this to the character demo, which showed her as a clumsy yet responsible, hardworking person, makes me feel like every character has a unique and diverse story if you just look hard enough. This is why I love ZZZ, every character from the NPCs to Agents all have something that makes them stand out and feel special from each other in their own charming way.
Before she became a member of Sector 6, I am guessing Yanagi was a spec force squad commando that venture into the dangerous areas to protect New Eridu from threats. One of those is a war that has broken out between humans and Oni. It was a cold night before what would be an assault by Special Divisions that would wipe out the Oni for good, Yanagi ventures into the Oni village solo to for a specific mission to be carried out before dawn came. While near the village she for the first time met a young Soukaku whom she ends up protecting from an explosion hit the both of them. Yanagi was taken to have an audience with the current leader of the Oni where her and her general debated on killing her or using her as hostage until Yanagi woke up and spoke her peace about how their leaders failed to stop the war from happening and how it was their inaction that lead the war to continue costing lives on both sides. The general was having none of it blinded by his hatred was told to leave by the leader along with her other soldiers and allowing Yanagi to explain why she came on her own. Yanagi tells the leader of the Oni of the previous leader's demise and that there was no need for the war to continue. The leader confirms this and that she is carrying the burden left behind by what her father had created knowing she holds the fate of her kind on her hands. The leader is uncertain whether she can bring herself to make that choice and as such Yanagi presents her the one chance to do so and they place their trust on one another. The oni leader who has been battered and wounded from many battles offers her life to Yanagi to make that choice she can no longer make. Yanagi carrying with her the future of the oni leads the village to salvation. She takes responsibility of the oni allowing them to become citizens of New Eridu as they intended. To this day Yanagi has upheld the oath she had made and even took the responsibility of raising Soukaku as her own. To think Yanagi and Soukaku being roommates carry a deeper purpose.
@@bizarrelygreen5177 Some people just get their tiddies in a twist when a character isn't some sort of runway supermodel or wearing Yves Saint Laurent level clothing choices. Gods forbid you ever just go casual. 🤔
@@sciarpecyril not pure human, soukaku said she smell like sister, that is smell of oni, that mean the oni blood actually did chance her biology, we just still not see the sign of changing in her appearance
@@vietcuongnguyenle8530, it may be lingering scent. Blood transfusion can't change someone's physiology, I'm not even sure if their blood types were compatable. Unless oni blood has some mystical properties, but so far ZZZ setting showed no signs of magic or other supernatural phenomena. There are hollows or etheric matter, but these are pretty sci-fi things.
Now the flowers on mother's day has been true cause she's the one that raised soukaku even if they're not related its basically the same thing cause took care of soukaku as a child.
I know that i won't be able to pull every single character, cuz for me this is what's making the game worth playing, a lot of people only gonna focus on the game being goofy and fan service all over the place, but if you pay attention to all of the lore videos and the background of the characters, thats what makes them compelling and i'm a sucker fo tragic backgrounds (with the exception of burnice that was goofy af but i enjoyed that too)
Its the mix between funny and tragic that makes all of it really good, bikers showed us that alrdy very well with ceasar jumping into a lava pool while Lucy bursts in tears and the next trailer was Burnice brainrot pure. So yeah hoyo understand to mix both together in a good way.
Love these lore teasers that give more insight into the character and the world around them. Now it makes sense why Yanagi treats Soukaku like family in her demo trailer.
This explains why Soukaku and Yanagi are so close she even call’s her Nagi 🥹 Smol Soukaku is so cute, really interesting backstory we will see what her character story is about
The difference between her two trailers is so huge!! I feel like being on the rollercoaster! But ohhh the tragic comedy of ZZZ is so good. Tragic part always hits the most when you least expected
My interest in this character has now gone up significantly. If they keep up a story like this for her in-game, I might not skip her banner like I intended to.
More like not have reason for the oni to keep fighting They are the lose side, keep fighting only mean they gone extinction Yanagi actually save them by give them a way out
And just like that, I now have a better reason to pull for Yanagi now. The last trailer didn’t give me a good reason to pull her, other than ‘oh, super-pretty, sweet-voiced workaholic’. Not a good reason. I needed character. This trailer gave me character, and saw the deep bond Yanagi & Soukaku have. And the weight she carries as she has mixed blood with oni. The war is also raising a lot of lore and questions, like why were they not allowed to be in New Eridu? This trailer has officially made me decide to try and pull for her.
Noice. This expand world and explain things, Yanagi isn't just normal human and why only Soukaku out there (only oni we see if I'm not missing someone) and the relationship between those 2
I think Tsukishiro’s like Advent children Cloud if you think about it. It’s pretty sad. *He lost his buddy Zach but he has his memories that he carried with him.* 😢
We have to talk about the fact that at 0:26 she is wearing (i think?) the same goggle as soldier 11 make it possible that anby and soldier 11 as in the same group or sister or clone maybe true Just my thoughts
I think she's just wearing similar gear. Obsidian division (aka soldier 11s military group) is the last remaining military force after the hollow disasters so it's likely there's not many variations when it comes to gear.
Aside from the amazing lore drop, this just made me think. The game would look soo cool if it had a battle damage system! Seeing the characters get rips and tears on clothes with some blood on low HP would feel immersive asf, like an anime, like this video lol.
People like to call this game a gooner bait but no other Hoyo game has trailers like this. They do a good job at balancing zzz characters and storytelling

This is such a huge lore drop for Yanagi! Now I'm definitely getting her!
So Yanagi inherited this Oni's blood? I dunno how that works but, that is so cool and, honestly very sweet of her to take care of these Oni's. This whole teaser gave me a Demon Slayer vibe, not sure that's the correct comparison, I should give Demon Slayer a watch sometime!
Guess this is where Yanagi's motherly side became a thing around H.A.N.D, Soukaku is the person she's taking care of! Pretty interesting that Oni's had conflict among humans.
Kinda hope they expand on Thiren lore too because my impressions from the last Ben Bigger Trust event, Thirens weren't as welcome as before and were even feared.
hook line and sinker
Yeah the past of this game is so freaking intriguing. What was Eridu before the fall. What caused it. How was the world before it. I can't wait for more!
Now that's why she has dual stance as her special ability in fighting it all makes sense😮
These are the trailers I love! So much lore, so much character insights! Keep cooking ^.^
They really cooked up a very good lore here, plus with the animation and the soundtrack, the truth is that ZZZ never ceases to amaze me.
This is great. The character's story is slowly being revealed.🔥🔥
Well.... this explains why Soukaku holds her to high regard. This was really good and a dark change of pace to ZZZ. I always like when games that seem cheery when you play it have some dark lore making you question its world more and more.
Never thought they'd give her such a dark backstory.
Not only was Yanagi the one who stopped the war against Oni, but the rebel leader's blood was transferred in to her as a way to pass on their torch and fulfill the role their leader couldn't accomplish. What makes this even more depressing is that Sokaku still feels her sister's blood inside of Yanagi and therefore treats her as a sister rather than a parent who raised her.
Comparing this to the character demo, which showed her as a clumsy yet responsible, hardworking person, makes me feel like every character has a unique and diverse story if you just look hard enough.
This is why I love ZZZ, every character from the NPCs to Agents all have something that makes them stand out and feel special from each other in their own charming way.
HOLY lore!!! This was so beautiful and loved every bit of it. Makes you want to know more and more
I love how random the races and characters are in Zzz, like bro we have Ethereal, Thiren, Ai and now Oni, what else do we need? Alien, Ghost, Zombies?
Aliens would be interesting, but as a Honkai fan I get the feeling the ZZZ world is just a bubble universe in the sea of quanta...
if there's Oni there's also probably Yokai(Ghost) too....and if Yokai exist then Alien is definitely around (Dandandan)
@@rindere2121 nah, Rina is the token ghost and she's just a human with scary powers, and yokai are not 1 thing but many including oni and kitsune
Dont forget vampires, von lycaon had a vampire friend in his story quest, who i personally think is going to be playable
@@rindere2121 we have a ghost already, with Rina sorta she's very floaty and later in the game we'll be getting virtual idols
I'm loving how they keep expanding in ZZZ. This is a great backstory.
Before she became a member of Sector 6, I am guessing Yanagi was a spec force squad commando that venture into the dangerous areas to protect New Eridu from threats. One of those is a war that has broken out between humans and Oni. It was a cold night before what would be an assault by Special Divisions that would wipe out the Oni for good, Yanagi ventures into the Oni village solo to for a specific mission to be carried out before dawn came. While near the village she for the first time met a young Soukaku whom she ends up protecting from an explosion hit the both of them. Yanagi was taken to have an audience with the current leader of the Oni where her and her general debated on killing her or using her as hostage until Yanagi woke up and spoke her peace about how their leaders failed to stop the war from happening and how it was their inaction that lead the war to continue costing lives on both sides. The general was having none of it blinded by his hatred was told to leave by the leader along with her other soldiers and allowing Yanagi to explain why she came on her own.
Yanagi tells the leader of the Oni of the previous leader's demise and that there was no need for the war to continue. The leader confirms this and that she is carrying the burden left behind by what her father had created knowing she holds the fate of her kind on her hands. The leader is uncertain whether she can bring herself to make that choice and as such Yanagi presents her the one chance to do so and they place their trust on one another. The oni leader who has been battered and wounded from many battles offers her life to Yanagi to make that choice she can no longer make. Yanagi carrying with her the future of the oni leads the village to salvation. She takes responsibility of the oni allowing them to become citizens of New Eridu as they intended. To this day Yanagi has upheld the oath she had made and even took the responsibility of raising Soukaku as her own.
To think Yanagi and Soukaku being roommates carry a deeper purpose.
This only cemented why she's my favorite character in ZZZ
Such multifaceted character with a neat and sleek design.
Me too, her outfit is both ordinary and special
@@alfredconqueror4422 Right!? And I've seen some players say that her design is boring or one of the worst which is quite baffling.
How can i save if they're so good at convincing people to pull for characters
Im still waiting for the nun
@@bizarrelygreen5177 Some people just get their tiddies in a twist when a character isn't some sort of runway supermodel or wearing Yves Saint Laurent level clothing choices. Gods forbid you ever just go casual. 🤔
Oni Yanagi when? ✨️
Also Soukakou isn't a thiren at all. She is a full fledged Oni? Neat
I believe there’s a dark history to new Eridu and I’m all here for it
Human and Oni blood in Yanagi's vein!😲 Half-Oni!
We just need an awakened form with red horns :D
I think she is still human.
@@sciarpecyril not pure human, soukaku said she smell like sister, that is smell of oni, that mean the oni blood actually did chance her biology, we just still not see the sign of changing in her appearance
@@vietcuongnguyenle8530, it may be lingering scent.
Blood transfusion can't change someone's physiology, I'm not even sure if their blood types were compatable.
Unless oni blood has some mystical properties, but so far ZZZ setting showed no signs of magic or other supernatural phenomena. There are hollows or etheric matter, but these are pretty sci-fi things.
It's just a figure of speech. Blood oath so Nagi can't break her promise to be the guardian of the Oni tribe. Not Oni blood literary in her veins
Now the flowers on mother's day has been true cause she's the one that raised soukaku even if they're not related its basically the same thing cause took care of soukaku as a child.
Man, Sokaku is fast😮 she just shows up in every scene in a blink.
Congrats on 1MILLION subs ZZZ 🎉🪅🥳🎈
0:44 Hungwyyy!! 🥺🥺
Japanese wayyy better that this chrap
I know... She's so darn cute 😔🥺
@@vegassincity702 no one cares
@@anttt6161 you did Stoopid beacht
@@vegassincity702 weebs when they don't hear japanese
hope that last rhythm is her ep tease, definitely will cry for it😢
I know that i won't be able to pull every single character, cuz for me this is what's making the game worth playing, a lot of people only gonna focus on the game being goofy and fan service all over the place, but if you pay attention to all of the lore videos and the background of the characters, thats what makes them compelling and i'm a sucker fo tragic backgrounds (with the exception of burnice that was goofy af but i enjoyed that too)
Its the mix between funny and tragic that makes all of it really good, bikers showed us that alrdy very well with ceasar jumping into a lava pool while Lucy bursts in tears and the next trailer was Burnice brainrot pure. So yeah hoyo understand to mix both together in a good way.
lore is reaaly insane, zzz verse gonna be so much fun! thank u so much for your work for this project
Love these lore teasers that give more insight into the character and the world around them. Now it makes sense why Yanagi treats Soukaku like family in her demo trailer.
Interesting Yanagi - Soukaku lore.
People left when Soukaku had her face full of Nagi cushions, never did they wait to hear the reasons why the hugs are so important.
I love these lore video's. Now I know how Yanagi got her weapon! Very touching love the ending ♥️
I've only played a bit of ZZZ and this was a Bombshell of a Trailer.
I was not expecting the lore to be this intense for her omfg
So that's why Soukaku always jumps straight to Yanagi's chest
the storyline only gets more interesting, keep work zzz team🙏🙂
wow that explains it,some people should feel ashamed to be mad a that chest hugging scene.
wow was this cinematic and I really loved Yanagi's backstory
This teaser was everything! I love it ❤
0:41 The sound she made was so cute.
I’m happy yanagi saved soukaku she deserved to hug her in the character demo
What a freakin huge lore bomb.
This explains why Soukaku and Yanagi are so close she even call’s her Nagi 🥹 Smol Soukaku is so cute, really interesting backstory we will see what her character story is about
Perfect, knowing more about the story is great!
Love the quality of this!
Baby Soukaku is the most precious thing in Zenless and is now to be protected at all costs.
The lore of Zzz races has been expanded with the Oni being the start, which is definitely worth exploring.
Thats a good story, Soukaku and Yanagi 😊
The difference between her two trailers is so huge!! I feel like being on the rollercoaster! But ohhh the tragic comedy of ZZZ is so good. Tragic part always hits the most when you least expected
ooh ok, interesting how it expanded on yanagi/soukaku's relationship before the current one
My interest in this character has now gone up significantly. If they keep up a story like this for her in-game, I might not skip her banner like I intended to.
I'm guessing yanagi was a soldier like 11 on her past job and soukaku is like daughter to her when she let her join her team
One thing I love about ZZZ (fanservice aside) is the story and art direction.
This is the first time we're seeing someone bleed in the ZZZ universe.
This is Shogun level drama right here, it's somehow thrilling and I'm all for it! Hell yeah!!!
" The one responsible for this war is no longer alive. There is no reason for us to fight "
More like not have reason for the oni to keep fighting
They are the lose side, keep fighting only mean they gone extinction
Yanagi actually save them by give them a way out
@vietcuongnguyenle8530 I just read through every line 💡
And just like that, I now have a better reason to pull for Yanagi now. The last trailer didn’t give me a good reason to pull her, other than ‘oh, super-pretty, sweet-voiced workaholic’. Not a good reason. I needed character. This trailer gave me character, and saw the deep bond Yanagi & Soukaku have. And the weight she carries as she has mixed blood with oni. The war is also raising a lot of lore and questions, like why were they not allowed to be in New Eridu?
This trailer has officially made me decide to try and pull for her.
Shes was here to raise the light, and stop the storm. What a twist
Noice. This expand world and explain things, Yanagi isn't just normal human and why only Soukaku out there (only oni we see if I'm not missing someone) and the relationship between those 2
I think Tsukishiro’s like Advent children Cloud if you think about it. It’s pretty sad.
*He lost his buddy Zach but he has his memories that he carried with him.* 😢
Now this is emotional AF. I still miss OG Soukaku's va as she was my favorite character.
We have to talk about the fact that at 0:26 she is wearing (i think?) the same goggle as soldier 11 make it possible that anby and soldier 11 as in the same group or sister or clone maybe true
Just my thoughts
I think she's just wearing similar gear. Obsidian division (aka soldier 11s military group) is the last remaining military force after the hollow disasters so it's likely there's not many variations when it comes to gear.
it's just standard military gear, you saw npc wear them too
Aside from the amazing lore drop, this just made me think. The game would look soo cool if it had a battle damage system! Seeing the characters get rips and tears on clothes with some blood on low HP would feel immersive asf, like an anime, like this video lol.
I love Soukaku and Yanagi bond, they are like a family😭
People like to call this game a gooner bait but no other Hoyo game has trailers like this. They do a good job at balancing zzz characters and storytelling
I was here!
But also, a huge lore drop. Just casually establishing a war with demons, I guess.
Dang they actually showing blood , love it !
This really hits different the night before the US elections... Thank you based Yanagi for showing the way
I was thinking this exact same thing.
Amazing story, This made me love Soukaku and Yanagi even more.
