The Rainbow 6 collab absolutely floored me. It wasn't just an out-of-game thing. It wasn't just some music or backgrounds or skins. It wasn't even "here's a couple operators". It was an entire story event, with a complete explanation behind how it happened, interaction with character's personalities, and fully created characters (unique statted, voiceovers, outfits).. I still use on a regular basis. So happy I had enough to pull all the characters in that limited run.
34:09 the gray hair girl is Lappland. She's a girl that, if given an opportunity, will give a jab or two to Texas even if they are on the same side (just like in the animated trailer). She has a weird obsession with Texas. She's been in the game since it first released that's why she isn't in the new operators section.
She is in the Penguion Logistics factions introduction, tho only at the very end for a few secs and she isn't introduced or anything like that other then as a bit of a crazy person.
34:15 The reason you don't recognize her is because she's a launch character, so she didn't have any introduction in the trailers for this event. However, her only appearance in any trailer has been the Penguin Logistics introduction trailer which was one of the first you watched, and as a side note in another trailer (forget which) for when her skin released, so you likely completely forgot about her. The gray haired wolf girl is Lappland, and she's pretty closely tied into Texas's backstory, which is also why this is one of her first major appearance in the story despite being a launch character, as this is the first event really exploring Texas's backstory and Siracusa as a whole.
As you could notice, they were making teaser for Italian-inspired region (Siracusa) in Italian language, teaser for British-inspired region (Victoria) in English. These are currently only 2 events where they brought special voices. They tried to do so for Lingering Echoes but i guess they couldn't do it in time, so we only have english voice with a German accent for teaser and for Ebenholz dub. I haven't seen any mobile game or any live service game in general to spend this much time and effort to complement every language and culture they refering to as Arknights does.They are bringing very high standarts for live service games and i love it. They are like Riot Games with LoL at it's best times for me.
You've seen Chong Yue in the last trailer is the eldest brother of the Sui Siblings. He's someone who really loves his younger siblings (Ling, Nian and Dusk). Chong Yue also loved humans that he sealed his divine body, chose to live as a human and became a martial arts master.
Wait... so, Chong-Yue's power is practically sealed within that sword and the whole event he's fighting was him, using Martial Arts he honed?!! That's AMAZING!!
@@rezafebriansyah8620 Chong Yue is his mortal name, his real name is Shuo which means: "first to wake up" or "first day of the new year". and even though he was only using his human body, Nian said (cmiiw) Chong Yue could still can give a 2nd brother a lesson.
Chong Yue: “So, you pretended to die so that you could live with the humans?” Zhongli: “Yes” Chong Yue: “Aside for the ‘pretended to die’ part, honestly same. Humans are great.”
The easy way to remember all the operators in Arknights is to remember them by which faction/country they belong to, then index them by what warcrime they've committed/suffered
If you dont plan to play the Game and want a "basic" explanation about Stuff, there is a Video called THE LORE OF ARKNIGHTS EXPLAINED - (Originium, Infected, Catastrophes & More!) from Channel QaiserMLG which is 47 Minutes long (yes this is a shortened and condensed Explanation about the Arknight Lore) ^^
3:50 While there isn't a group, one operator is canonically an idol, and her boss is a rapper wearing a tupac shirt. There's also a group of npcs well known for rock music who are also literal gods.
The story about the two dragons and the girl is such a nice video. The other one about the Witch King was also very interesting. Something that I find very interesting about both of them is that neither is a credible source of information because they are told by people with very biased viewpoints. The Leithanien one is told by a scholar of questionable sanity who was very loyal to the overthrown monarch and the Victorian one is told by someone that clearly wants to influence the worldview of young Loughshinny and Eblana. More lore about Victoria and its ties to the dragon video: Victoria is often reffered to as "Her" even in current times meaning the girl in the video likely symbolizes the country itself. Victoria was originally ruled by two Draco houses - house of Artorius and house Dublinn. Tara used to be a separate country created by the head of house Dublinn but was later forcefully annexed under the pretense of protection. Funny how the dragon that founded Tara is described as brave and the other as greedy. Later came the Aslans (lions) who used an existing internal conflict to take the throne. Everything ended in a ceasefire and the Aslans and Dracos sharing the throne. The two girls in the video - Loughshinny (codename Reed) and Eblana, heirs to house Dublinn - are essentially in exile and probably hidden by some Taran nationalist noble, likely the narrator of this video. As great as the video is it essentially boils down to an attempt to manipulate two little girls and painting everyone else as bad.
One really interesting thing to note about the story about the dragons and Victoria. It is being told by the last family of Dracos who are trying to manipulate their heirs into starting a conquest against the lion rulers of Victoria, so the framing of the lions in the story may not actually be accurate, and may just be their view of them. In fact much of the story may be inaccurate and simply a way to manipulate the minds of the two young Draco sisters (seen at the end when you see that the story is being narrated to them).
It's a mythologized retelling of the history of Victoria. Basically the dragons were the original inhabitants of the area (think Ireland + Great Britain) and the lions are a different ethnic group that came and took over at some point (think the Norman Conquest). Currently, the country is home to both races and others, but there's a radical faction of dragons who believe that they are the true heirs to the throne.
Specifically, the Draco sisters are part of a terrorist group called Dublinn that rejects the rule of the lions, making them Irish and analogous to the IRA.
Regarding the Dragon Boy and the trailer at 54:00 ish, basically, since you liked the overall theme with the "Invitation to Wine" event, you might find this interesting: every year we are presented with a new "Dragon" or "Sui" family member (Sui Siblings if you ever google them). We had Nian, then Dusk, then Ling (In Invitation to Wine) and now we got the big brother Chong Yue.
Love that we finally got the IlSiracusano trailer, which IMO is one of the absolute best. I just love the detail in it, how Lapplands stride matches the music and how when she breaks down the wall, she also breaks the aspect ratio, turing the trailer into fullscreen!
The tentacle things from ashring are part of a vampiric 'blessing' from the prince of blood (one of the current antagonists). It's not really a blessing though, more of a set of tentacle-like parasites that gives the enemies strength, but also when you kill them the parasites take over and reanimate them so you have to kill their corpses again. It's pretty disturbing. And on another note, Mlynar from an obscure wanderer is Nearl's Uncle by the way.
@@bakutie all of them have some sort of hint as to the theme of their main map's enemies and even bosses CC#4 being the most blatant example of this by showing Mudrock and Big Bob's silhouette near the end of its trailer
35:24 penance (real name Lavinia Falcone) is a very overt reference to the real world Giovanni Falcone, an italian judge who spent most of his life fighting against the sicilian mafia and his most notable achievement is the famous maxi trial where over 300 people got sentenced 38:50 that place is laterano and it is indeed supposed to be very rome, more vatican than the empire but yeah we even got a gun wielding pope lol there's also influences from switzerland with the politics and a direct reference to the swiss guard with their military being named pontifica cohors lateran
the worm like creatures are called sanguinarchs and are basically minions of the vampire army! and Operation Ashring will release in 2 days so yeah... pain..
No, the worm creatures are the "touch" or the "gift". Sanguinarch is the vampire king that create those creatures. Sanguinarch is the combination of sanguine(blood) + monarch.
The Fabulous dragon man, Chong Yue, is a Sui Sibling. The fourth of the 12 to be playable, after Nian, Dusk and Ling. (From Events: Ancient Forge, Who is Real and Invitation to Wine)
Hey just wanted to let you know you missed the Ideal City trailer. It was in between the last 3d trailer in the previous part and the one animated trailer at the start of this part! Dunno how or if you wanna go back to react to it but it would be nice if you somehow did because it's one of the best trailers in my opinion!
So for character EPs one of the newest ones I think you’ll really like is for Gavial the Invincible, and it’s called “All hail Savior”.Another one is called Ständachen for the Ebenholz. Now if you really want to turn be turned in to a puddle, you can continue with Pozëmka’s Undertopia (especially when, at least from my interpretation, you realize it’s a song she’s writing to her younger self), then Sentenced for Penance, and lastly Requiem for Big sis FrostNova and Papa Patriot. Then because you’ll need a pick me up, you can start down Arknight’s Disney Arc with Awaken for Specter the Unchained, then Towards Her Light for Saileach, and finally March On for Horn. And then just pure hype, with Radiant for Nearl, then ManiFesto which is more of a collab which multiple ops. There’s still plenty more, which you can probably read in the responses to this comment for having the audacity of forgetting them.
Well, since you ask if there are bands (musicals) within the game, there are actually 3, which are mentioned in summer events (mostly) even sometimes have participation in the lore in-game, but I do not remember their names well, but you can see their "singles" in several pv or the videos of contingency contracts.
Okay, I did the research, the bands within Terra are... "Alive Until Sunset" (A band composed of pure girls), D. D. D. (He is the guy who does not show his face in several pv but has a Marshmallow type air) and finally Emperor (The penguin that made you laugh when handling a gun before)
Regarding the bands, we do have them. So far, the playable characters have two band units: -W, Blaze, Frostleaf, and Zima (song: Rock the Night Away) -W, Blaze, Bagpipe, Courier, and Vigna (song: Cannot Wait For) We also have NPC artists with actual songs. The band is called Alive Until Sunset. Other than that, we have NPC soloists like Emperor (yes the penguin rap god) and D.D.D. They were all first showcased in the Siesta events. Hope this helps!
3:37 Band wise, Arknights conically in the story, they have a band named "Alive Until Sunset" (AUS) which make music , just like KDA in League if Legends, but the characters in the band is not playable. They also have skins for characters which is band theme. If I miss other info I think chat can fill this up
Victoria was once ruled by a lineage of draco (the people with features based off western dragons, not to be confused with the wyvern people) kings but they were eventually supplanted by the Aslan (lion people) kings. In the last two decades however, growing resentment as well as an attempt to raise taxes even higher caused a backlash that eventually led to the aristocracy rising up and executing the king. Since then the throne has sat empty, with the various victorian grand dukes maneuvering to take it for themselves or to place a puppet on the throne. The conflicts seen in Chapter 9 and continued in 10 and 11 is basically following up on that. The supporters of the draco kings have risen up, while a failed attempt for the throne led to the use of "neutral" Sarkaz (people with various stereotypical demon features) mercenaries who then strongarmed their way into a military coup. Although Victoria has the military to fight back, the grand dukes' loyalty is divided. The legend of the dragons has a hopeful note that the dragon without greed may return one day, perhaps indicating a branch of the old Draco royal lineage may have survived in secret.
Be careful! Some music in arknights have music label, particularly if its collab music. You don't have to worry too much if it comes from Monster siren hypergryph
Terra has bands, but none of the members are Operators. I don't think you've heard their songs, but you should. Alive until Sunset, DDD and Emperor are three famous in-universe bands.
Arknights already has two anime. "Prelude to Dawn" - which touches on several chapters of the main plot. And the cartoon series "Lee's Detective Agency". The latter, by the way, is available directly on UA-cam. It would be great if you would undertake to record a reaction to one of them.
Haven't seen all the Arknights trailers myself despite playing since more or less the beginning (there is just so much!) so I'm happy to watch along. So much of it is great but I think the near light teaser is still my favourite. Would definitely like to see reactions for the music as well, as it is for me probably the most valuable thing to come out of arknights, perhaps even more so than the game itself. There isn't any playlist I use more than my arknights one lmao
I commented this on your previous Arknights video too but you do seem to have missed the regular PV for Under Tides, you only watched the 2D and 3D animated ones and I think you might be interested in that. It also happnes to be my favourite PV still. Either way, loved seeing your reactions in this video.
The story about the dragons is actually about the civil war between the three sides fighting for the throne. The girl represents Victoria(the country) and the two dragons and the lions are fighting for the crown.
Both Luo Xiaohei and Nine-Colored Deer were small (one unit) collabs for Arknights, mostly to promote the game with other know chinese media Later this year, we're probably getting the Monster Hunter collab, which should be a big one (like R6S)
All up to date now. As a veteran ak player it's great seeing new players getting into the game. I'm probably not the first one to mention this but I love all of the ak tracks (battle themes, boss themes, lobby themes, character EPs, CC lobby tracks). Have a listen to all of them each has a different feel. Cheers and great vid
I really enjoyed your reaction! If you don't know what to check, I would recommend the character theme! There should be an official playlist called "Arknights Official EP". Every single song is a banger! And It's the moment where Yostar really shows off that they are a music label hidden in a tower defense game :D
Lappy! (the gray haired one AKA Lappland) Great reaction and considering next trailers have some of my favourite additions to the game i already can't wait for the next episode \o/
The little girl in the dragon trailer is pretty obviously a stand in for the country of Victoria with the two dragons and lions fighting for supremacy to reign over the land.
Lappland (Lappy, the one with the scar and grey hair) and Texas are the most popular pair of cp (ship) in the CN community. Both are modelled after wolf species which are extinct and their code names are the origins of the said extinct species. :)
You'll have to look him up but one of the founders of Hypergryph and original creators of Arknights pulled off the best Andreana cosplay I've ever seen so he could sneak incognito into a convention. (Lowlight aka Umineko aka Hai Mao)
41:50 idk if anyone have mentioned before but the new open world game you mentioned in the past few video are set in a different "wolrd/planet" from what I can gather from it's PV. Arknights takes place on Terra, Enfield takes place on Talos II. The beginning of the pv did starts in space and landing on the planet iirc.
The story about the two dragons and lions is sort of like a folklore/propanganda story about the country Victoria. It used to be ruled by the dragon people until the Lion people came and overthrow the dragon people. The ominous figure that is talking to the little girls is probably just some servant trying to indoctrinate her. Since those 2 little dragon girls are the surviving heirs of the overthrown royal family. The dragon girl you see in the event trailer is indeed the little girl that was asked the question after the story was over.
If you're looking for the OST stuff you should definitely start with the animated music videos. The songs are awesome and the visuals are even better. The lates one was Day By Day by Aviella
The art is amazing, and we meme it's a musical game disguised in a tower defense given how many (different) bangers they have... But if I had to use only one word to describe what I like the most about Arknights, it would be geopolitics. Everything is so serious due to wars, catastrophes and discriminations.. it's somehow (sadly) relatable to our world, especially with each nation referencing to real ones. But it's a game, and in a universe going from fantasy to modernity, in which you can find angels adept with guns, op vampires, or whatever the hell is Kal'tsit...
Endfield is in a completely seperate universe to Arknights, none of that world building or characters will carry over. The grey haired girl is Lappland, she's a frenemy of Texas and has been in the game since Day 1 Reed the flameshadow is a continuation of events from Chapter 9 regarding operator Reed who is quite an old operator by now (in terms of release) Arknights usually gets an event or two a month so there should be trailers for then. After the music vidoes i suggest you watch the Concert and maybe the recent Ideal City livestream to give you a better idea how the game functions. Overall loved your reactions and I really hope you play the game soon on stream or YT!!!
For that Il siracusano movie, you might want to see one of the very first 'penguin logistic trailer'. One of the first organization trailer there is. She appears late in the video. ...or maybe just search lappland...
28:55 - Neat little tidbit that I haven't seen many people comment on: When her sword got "stuck" in the wall, and she destroyed it, she also destroyed the 4:3 aspect ratio. The rest of the video after that is widescreen. :P Also, the gray haired girl with the scar is Lappland. She's like a "frenemy" with Texas. The best comparison I can give is kinda like Goku and Vegeta in the second half of Dragon Ball Z. He's still angry all the time, and too prideful to admit it, but he's not an enemy, just a rival. And that's kinda what's going on here. Lappland is not Texas' enemy, but she'll look for any chance she can get to fight her, even in the middle of another fight. As for background information, although I don't remember all the details, the gist of it is: Texas was part of a mafia family (don't remember if she was the boss, or daughter to the boss, but she was up there). She has left the mafia to join Rhodes Island (us). Lappland was part of a "rival" mafia family, and came to us just to chase after her. I believe the story behind the event is basically that something bad happened to Texas' mafia family, so she went back to help. All this basically confirms that the language spoken before is, in fact, Italian, so you were right there. 50:00 - The story is basically the "legend" behind one nation, which has been at war for literal ages, and it's between the Draco (dragon people) and the Aslan (Lion people), thus the dragons vs lions in the story. And yes, I believe the little girl at the end is Reed (dragon girl), who is meant to be the "good" dragon, and the story will bring up, I "think" it's her sister, who is the greedy/evil one. 57:00 - He's another chinese dragon person, same as Ling (long blue hair, was dancing in the clouds while drinking in another video). Him, Ling and 2 other operators that weren't properly showcased in videos (Nian and Dusk) are basically fragments of a Dragon God. It was sealed and split into 11(?) fragments, which are the 11 siblings. So far we've officially met 4 of those (this guy being the newest addition). (Additionally, in both Ling's and his videos, you see them fighting a big shadow of a monster. That shadow is their fragment of the Dragon God trying to break free. They have to fight it, basically all the time.
Collabs i wish are a possibility with Arknights: - Monster Hunter series - Resident Evil - Megaman Zero (the inti creates one) - Fire Emblem - Shovel Knight
Arknights: Ambience Synesthesia would be perfect if you want to react to Arknight's music and please do so. It's a concert that hypergraph is held every year. you can find it on youtube and it's free.
when you find out that "ice" she was making was actually Glass; THEN you remember how glass is made and what that means to try and fight her in a Dessert
4:00 (ish) there's not a band like K/DA in that it's comprised of PLAYABLE characters...but there IS an in-universe band named Alive Before Sunset that have a number of absolutely based songs that are part of the overall soundtrack. 6:20 Młynar (mwih-nar) is the distant father figure (he's their uncle) to Margaret and Maria Nearl, the horse girl operators on the left side of that Near Light retro event. 16:38 Victoria is absolutely 100% an expy for the British Empire, not just architecturally, but also politically, and being one of the most technologically and militarily advanced nations on Terra. 20:41 Siege is the leader of the Glasgow Gang, which includes other playable operators, like Dagda (from a couple minutes earlier). 25:13 Texas is Siracusan by birth, and was part of the mafia before she left that life behind. The entire Siracusano event is dressed up to give MASSIVE Godfather vibes. It's incredible and I CAN'T WAIT. 51:46 Those two are Bagpipe (a vouivre, who are based on wyverns) and possibly Reed (a draco, who ARE dragons). Not related to each other at all. But Reed DOES have a sister.
3:52 The tentacle thing is what we will fight in Contigency Contract event. The enemies is full of eldritch horror tentacles thats why they put that in their CC#10 PV. If you play Arknights CC, Its not just random images. All of that is what we will fight in that event like in CC#9 PV you saw green jars/eggs, That abomination is the enemy in CC#9 and they're pain in the butt to kill them (well all of CC event are stupidly hard for early-mid players). Oh and btw you missed CC#8 reaction last time. IMO CC#8 have one of the most insane bass drop along with CC#10.
Others have mentioned it but aside from reacting to Arknights' incredible music you should watch "The Lore of Arknights explained" its a great video to really understand everything that's going on. Also that Texas PV with the italian man speaking has english subtitles I believe.
Almost any country in Arknights either have direct counterpart in real life or at least have some inspiration from different countries and events from our history. Case in point - Victoria is obviously British empire. Lions are heraldic animals of England, while dragons in real life would represent Wales, in arknights dragons would represent not only Wales but also Ireland (and all those who came before english ppl and were basically conqueled by those "Lions"). In game there are "Dublinn" army that fight for indepandance from Londonium. So, basicly, IRA.
Ok but why do dragon dudes all have the same black and gold drip. We’ve got Zhongli, Azhdaha from Genshin, and Lee, Chongyue, that one dragon boss from Arknights
Arknights is unhinged and they don't anchor themselves to a theme, and that is a great thing about them. I drive alot and Arknights playlist is perfect to listen to while driving. some of my favourite character song [ Stainless Heart ] Stainless [ Undertopia ] Pozyomka [ Magic Theorem ] Dorothy [ March On! ] Horn [ Spark for Dream ] Goldenglow [Silver Lining] SilverAsh [Radiant] Nearl the Radiant Knight [Running In the Dark] by MONKEY MAJIK the last one is not a character song but its good and its Arknights so there you go 😉
There are different types of AK players that does Contingency Contract (pick one): 1. Newbie + Comeback players who hasn't been on for a long time or checked any news (and neither of them doesn't understand a single thing and have no idea what is going on): > Sees CC10 on the main menu & decides to give it a try. > Tentacles?! > Why am I getting killed by a freakin' cannon?! > Bruh > This is bulls- 2. Everyone who experienced chapter 10 and but haven't seen the PVs or the CC10 mobs/stage yet (because they didn't want to get spoiled): > Sees CC10 drop in global > Sees the risk icons (tentacles) in the risk selection. (realization moment) > Ah yes... the Cthulhu mobs, Manfred + Cannon from chapter 10. > DEFENDERKNIGHTS > Cannon go brrr 3. Same as no. 2 (above) except they spoiled themselves from twitter & youtube (or other sources) for more info on what to expect: > Oh... it's those mobs from ch10.... and the boss too.... which means there will be a cannon. (before CC10 drops) > After CC10 drops: called it. > Defenderknights > Cannon go brrrrrrr 4. Meanwhile those who knew before due to seeing or experiencing it in CN months prior (me included): > Sees CC10 drop in global (feb 3rd) > "I summon you... Cannon DPS AFK team! MudHoshi Combo!" > Casually does risk 18 with AFK squad on day 1.
Hi there!! On the global server we just finished Ideal City (the water theme park with Gavial the crocolady) and just began CC#10, so most of this video are things that will come in the future About the blonde guy he is the uncle of Nearl and Blemishine, the blonde knights you have seen before The white haired wolf is Lappland, she has been in the game from the beginning, so not much were known but that she had some kind of story with Texas, some kind of stalk, rivality or murder intention so I'm hyped with that event I'd recommend this video-songs that were missing from the playlist from Steve Aoki (story) "Last of me" ua-cam.com/video/GUOfmUcp-jg/v-deo.html "End like this" ua-cam.com/video/3cspL4AQ3FM/v-deo.html from Rad Cat (dossoles event with Tequila) "Ain't Seen Nothing Like This" ua-cam.com/video/M4hF8x462NM/v-deo.html There are a lot of unique and great songs, character themes and EPs; the music of the trailers are mostly ingame; as stage music, lobby and boss fights (I think you asked something like that on an earlier video, like you hoped for the music game being as good as the trailers one :D) but knowing you liked both Gnosis and Lee you can check their theme's Gnosis ua-cam.com/video/xEbNMPCYlOM/v-deo.html Lee ua-cam.com/video/423BcsNSouw/v-deo.html As you can see some themes have lyrics about that character story and some are just instrumental I'd personally recommend "Alive" ua-cam.com/video/mnS5JqFojUw/v-deo.html and Gavial's new theme ua-cam.com/video/RL2qZdtfXV8/v-deo.html About operators that have music groups... Lorewise there are characters linked to music, as Emperor (the penguin is a rap celebrity), AUS (the group that sang Alive) or D.D.D.; you had to choose one of those 3 on the first Siesta's event; also Sora is kind of an idol too (the light brown girl that was singing on Texas video) also there is Ambience Synesthesia, it's the name of arknights' live concerts but they also group up operators as a band, release some EP and even launch skins as you have seen The greatest effort I'd say was with "Manifesto" where they even released a music video ua-cam.com/video/VuKzuSC1xTY/v-deo.html
I'm italian so i can translate for you that italian part. Di cosa odora la pioggia per te? (what do think the rain smells like?) di pulito? Di fresco? di erba e terra? (like something clean? something fresh? soil and grass?) Benvenuto a Siracusa straniero (Welcome to Siracusa Stranger) Che sfortuna. sta per iniziare la stagione delle piogge (how unfortunate: the rain season is about to begin) Purtroppo è così: nessuno può sfuggire al proprio passato (This is it unfortunately: noboby can escape from their past) Neppure la mia famiglia (not even my family) Un tempo eravamo potenti... avevamo il controllo su qualsiasi cosa! (we were powerful... we had control over everything) Ma non è rimasto nulla. La pioggia ha spazzato via tutto. (there is nothing left. Rain has blown it all away) È il codice d'onore dettato da Signora SIcilia (it's the honor code dictated by Lady Sicilia) E questo è il prezzo per averlo violato (and this the price to pay for having broken it) Anche se non siamo più a Siracusa (even though we are not in Siracusa any more) Anche se ci piace pensare di aver abbandonato le nostre vecchie identità (even though we like to think we left our identities behind) Anche se abbiamo fatto tutto il possibile per evitare questo (even though we have done everything in our power to avoid this) Ci troverà troverà sempre. non c'è via di fuga. (he/she/it will always find us. There is no scape.) il nostro sangue appartiene qui. questo è l'unico posto dove dovrebbe scorrere (our blood belongs here. This is the only place where it should flows) Fattene una ragione (deal with it) Sei ancora... una siracusana (you still are... a siracusan)
I terms of collabs, I would like Broderlands, Neir Automata, or Final Fantasy. They seem like they fit stylistically and have good chances of actually happening. Edit: As for less realistic, I want Splatoon.
The video about the two dragons, the little girl and the lions is actually just a poetic story telling and it's some might say it's bias. The dragons were the Draco's - a human race with Dragon motifs, Reed the Flame shadow is one, the little girl is not actually a person but rather a personification of a country named Victoria. And lastly the lions represents the Aslans- humans with lion characteristics. If you paused the video in 20:40 you'll see a girl in the middle which is a girl named Siege who is an Aslan.
The Grey haired one called Lappland, she is an playable operator. Idk how their lore goes with Texas, but Lappland really obsessed with Texas... While Sora is also one of Texas simps... And Exu too
I'm almost positive others have mentioned it, but you've actually passed where we are on the global version. Every time we watch a trailer without Eng subs? Let's just say the future is looking GOOD (or you found the original version of the trailer)
The Rainbow 6 collab absolutely floored me.
It wasn't just an out-of-game thing.
It wasn't just some music or backgrounds or skins.
It wasn't even "here's a couple operators".
It was an entire story event, with a complete explanation behind how it happened, interaction with character's personalities, and fully created characters (unique statted, voiceovers, outfits)..
I still use on a regular basis.
So happy I had enough to pull all the characters in that limited run.
even tachanka's module have a story in it which makes me so happy
gives me hope that even after event we may get extra stories about them
Operation Originium Dust is still one of if not my favorite event story. It's biggest flaw is that there wasn't MORE
Give us the R6S part 2 collab with terra sledge and other Terra version of R6 ops in ash module
@@crisperstorm I maintain that its still one of the best event to date and they should have made THAT into the anime instead, if they could.
I feel the same way on that collab with Rainbow 6, was really impressive! They care a loot about the game on how all was introduced.
34:09 the gray hair girl is Lappland. She's a girl that, if given an opportunity, will give a jab or two to Texas even if they are on the same side (just like in the animated trailer). She has a weird obsession with Texas. She's been in the game since it first released that's why she isn't in the new operators section.
She is in the Penguion Logistics factions introduction, tho only at the very end for a few secs and she isn't introduced or anything like that other then as a bit of a crazy person.
Omertosa is 'keeper of omerta', the mafia code of silence.
34:15 The reason you don't recognize her is because she's a launch character, so she didn't have any introduction in the trailers for this event. However, her only appearance in any trailer has been the Penguin Logistics introduction trailer which was one of the first you watched, and as a side note in another trailer (forget which) for when her skin released, so you likely completely forgot about her. The gray haired wolf girl is Lappland, and she's pretty closely tied into Texas's backstory, which is also why this is one of her first major appearance in the story despite being a launch character, as this is the first event really exploring Texas's backstory and Siracusa as a whole.
Thing is - she was explicitly named in trailer... and that was missed somehow (too much attention to Texas probably).
They're prob leave her for Siracusa part 2 or something, for now the story is on Texas
@@al103 To be fair, the text in the trailers usually go by too fast to actually read, so I imagine she just didn't read it.
@@Midnight-wh2bs There is always "go back and pause on relevant moment".
That is funny tho. "Who are you?", "Are they not an operator?"
She was waiting for Lappy's introduction the whole trailer
As you could notice, they were making teaser for Italian-inspired region (Siracusa) in Italian language, teaser for British-inspired region (Victoria) in English. These are currently only 2 events where they brought special voices. They tried to do so for Lingering Echoes but i guess they couldn't do it in time, so we only have english voice with a German accent for teaser and for Ebenholz dub. I haven't seen any mobile game or any live service game in general to spend this much time and effort to complement every language and culture they refering to as Arknights does.They are bringing very high standarts for live service games and i love it. They are like Riot Games with LoL at it's best times for me.
Still hoping for actual German Ebenholz and Spanish Irene dubs.
You've seen Chong Yue in the last trailer is the eldest brother of the Sui Siblings.
He's someone who really loves his younger siblings (Ling, Nian and Dusk).
Chong Yue also loved humans that he sealed his divine body, chose to live as a human and became a martial arts master.
Wait... so, Chong-Yue's power is practically sealed within that sword and the whole event he's fighting was him, using Martial Arts he honed?!! That's AMAZING!!
@@rezafebriansyah8620 that's what a gigachad looks like exercising everyday for over centuries
@@rezafebriansyah8620 Chong Yue is his mortal name, his real name is Shuo which means: "first to wake up" or "first day of the new year". and even though he was only using his human body, Nian said (cmiiw) Chong Yue could still can give a 2nd brother a lesson.
Chong Yue: “So, you pretended to die so that you could live with the humans?”
Zhongli: “Yes”
Chong Yue: “Aside for the ‘pretended to die’ part, honestly same. Humans are great.”
@@Franz0818
Chong Yue: Although in my case, I refer to it as "Retirement"
Zhongli: Is that so, interesting.
The easy way to remember all the operators in Arknights is to remember them by which faction/country they belong to, then index them by what warcrime they've committed/suffered
If you dont plan to play the Game and want a "basic" explanation about Stuff, there is a Video called THE LORE OF ARKNIGHTS EXPLAINED - (Originium, Infected, Catastrophes & More!) from Channel QaiserMLG which is 47 Minutes long (yes this is a shortened and condensed Explanation about the Arknight Lore) ^^
3:50 While there isn't a group, one operator is canonically an idol, and her boss is a rapper wearing a tupac shirt. There's also a group of npcs well known for rock music who are also literal gods.
Don't forget the Ambience Synesthesia skins. Blaze drums, Vigna shreds the guitar, etc.
The story about the two dragons and the girl is such a nice video. The other one about the Witch King was also very interesting.
Something that I find very interesting about both of them is that neither is a credible source of information because they are told by people with very biased viewpoints. The Leithanien one is told by a scholar of questionable sanity who was very loyal to the overthrown monarch and the Victorian one is told by someone that clearly wants to influence the worldview of young Loughshinny and Eblana.
More lore about Victoria and its ties to the dragon video:
Victoria is often reffered to as "Her" even in current times meaning the girl in the video likely symbolizes the country itself. Victoria was originally ruled by two Draco houses - house of Artorius and house Dublinn. Tara used to be a separate country created by the head of house Dublinn but was later forcefully annexed under the pretense of protection. Funny how the dragon that founded Tara is described as brave and the other as greedy. Later came the Aslans (lions) who used an existing internal conflict to take the throne. Everything ended in a ceasefire and the Aslans and Dracos sharing the throne. The two girls in the video - Loughshinny (codename Reed) and Eblana, heirs to house Dublinn - are essentially in exile and probably hidden by some Taran nationalist noble, likely the narrator of this video. As great as the video is it essentially boils down to an attempt to manipulate two little girls and painting everyone else as bad.
One really interesting thing to note about the story about the dragons and Victoria. It is being told by the last family of Dracos who are trying to manipulate their heirs into starting a conquest against the lion rulers of Victoria, so the framing of the lions in the story may not actually be accurate, and may just be their view of them. In fact much of the story may be inaccurate and simply a way to manipulate the minds of the two young Draco sisters (seen at the end when you see that the story is being narrated to them).
It's a mythologized retelling of the history of Victoria. Basically the dragons were the original inhabitants of the area (think Ireland + Great Britain) and the lions are a different ethnic group that came and took over at some point (think the Norman Conquest). Currently, the country is home to both races and others, but there's a radical faction of dragons who believe that they are the true heirs to the throne.
Specifically, the Draco sisters are part of a terrorist group called Dublinn that rejects the rule of the lions, making them Irish and analogous to the IRA.
While it's hardly one-to-one, a lot of the setting details make more sense when you analogize them to real countries and real history.
Literally in-universe propaganda told through a children's tale.
Regarding the Dragon Boy and the trailer at 54:00 ish, basically, since you liked the overall theme with the "Invitation to Wine" event, you might find this interesting: every year we are presented with a new "Dragon" or "Sui" family member (Sui Siblings if you ever google them). We had Nian, then Dusk, then Ling (In Invitation to Wine) and now we got the big brother Chong Yue.
Love that we finally got the IlSiracusano trailer, which IMO is one of the absolute best. I just love the detail in it, how Lapplands stride matches the music and how when she breaks down the wall, she also breaks the aspect ratio, turing the trailer into fullscreen!
The tentacle things from ashring are part of a vampiric 'blessing' from the prince of blood (one of the current antagonists). It's not really a blessing though, more of a set of tentacle-like parasites that gives the enemies strength, but also when you kill them the parasites take over and reanimate them so you have to kill their corpses again. It's pretty disturbing.
And on another note, Mlynar from an obscure wanderer is Nearl's Uncle by the way.
The tentacle are sacrifice become cannon londonium as bait
do the other cc vids have any significance too?
all this time I just went with the vids being hg flexing 3d skills lol
@@bakutie all of them have some sort of hint as to the theme of their main map's enemies and even bosses
CC#4 being the most blatant example of this by showing Mudrock and Big Bob's silhouette near the end of its trailer
@@LeinRa-Reaction and the logo with Murdock' hammer
The British Las Plagas. Or the Kazdel'
35:24
penance (real name Lavinia Falcone) is a very overt reference to the real world Giovanni Falcone, an italian judge who spent most of his life fighting against the sicilian mafia and his most notable achievement is the famous maxi trial where over 300 people got sentenced
38:50
that place is laterano and it is indeed supposed to be very rome, more vatican than the empire but yeah
we even got a gun wielding pope lol
there's also influences from switzerland with the politics and a direct reference to the swiss guard with their military being named pontifica cohors lateran
Those red vines are basically vampiric blood worms that are created by the vampire sarkaz king in chapter 10
the worm like creatures are called sanguinarchs and are basically minions of the vampire army! and Operation Ashring will release in 2 days so yeah... pain..
Well, the sanguinary is the vampire king who makes them.
No, the worm creatures are the "touch" or the "gift".
Sanguinarch is the vampire king that create those creatures.
Sanguinarch is the combination of sanguine(blood) + monarch.
The Fabulous dragon man, Chong Yue, is a Sui Sibling.
The fourth of the 12 to be playable, after Nian, Dusk and Ling. (From Events: Ancient Forge, Who is Real and Invitation to Wine)
I thought not all of them will be playable?
@@mrf143 yes, sorry if what I said isn’t clear, I wrote it on like, 2 am, because night shift at work.
The white-haired girl featured in Il Siracusano is Lappland, Texas' old frienemy.
It's uh, "complicated"
We love Lappy, even if she is a bit damaged.
She's one of the original operators in the game so it's assumed you know who she is
There are a few songs where known operators assembled into a band to sing a song. The one on the top of my head is Rock the Night Away
Hey just wanted to let you know you missed the Ideal City trailer. It was in between the last 3d trailer in the previous part and the one animated trailer at the start of this part! Dunno how or if you wanna go back to react to it but it would be nice if you somehow did because it's one of the best trailers in my opinion!
So for character EPs one of the newest ones I think you’ll really like is for Gavial the Invincible, and it’s called “All hail Savior”.Another one is called Ständachen for the Ebenholz. Now if you really want to turn be turned in to a puddle, you can continue with Pozëmka’s Undertopia (especially when, at least from my interpretation, you realize it’s a song she’s writing to her younger self), then Sentenced for Penance, and lastly Requiem for Big sis FrostNova and Papa Patriot. Then because you’ll need a pick me up, you can start down Arknight’s Disney Arc with Awaken for Specter the Unchained, then Towards Her Light for Saileach, and finally March On for Horn. And then just pure hype, with Radiant for Nearl, then ManiFesto which is more of a collab which multiple ops. There’s still plenty more, which you can probably read in the responses to this comment for having the audacity of forgetting them.
Well, since you ask if there are bands (musicals) within the game, there are actually 3, which are mentioned in summer events (mostly) even sometimes have participation in the lore in-game, but I do not remember their names well, but you can see their "singles" in several pv or the videos of contingency contracts.
Okay, I did the research, the bands within Terra are... "Alive Until Sunset" (A band composed of pure girls), D. D. D. (He is the guy who does not show his face in several pv but has a Marshmallow type air) and finally Emperor (The penguin that made you laugh when handling a gun before)
Regarding the bands, we do have them. So far, the playable characters have two band units:
-W, Blaze, Frostleaf, and Zima (song: Rock the Night Away)
-W, Blaze, Bagpipe, Courier, and Vigna (song: Cannot Wait For)
We also have NPC artists with actual songs. The band is called Alive Until Sunset. Other than that, we have NPC soloists like Emperor (yes the penguin rap god) and D.D.D. They were all first showcased in the Siesta events.
Hope this helps!
You forgot about Emperor, Siege, Indra, Ethan, Lappland with ManiFesto
@@lavan-guardiste3682 oh right! Thanks for the correction lol
3:37 Band wise, Arknights conically in the story, they have a band named "Alive Until Sunset" (AUS) which make music , just like KDA in League if Legends, but the characters in the band is not playable. They also have skins for characters which is band theme.
If I miss other info I think chat can fill this up
Victoria was once ruled by a lineage of draco (the people with features based off western dragons, not to be confused with the wyvern people) kings but they were eventually supplanted by the Aslan (lion people) kings. In the last two decades however, growing resentment as well as an attempt to raise taxes even higher caused a backlash that eventually led to the aristocracy rising up and executing the king. Since then the throne has sat empty, with the various victorian grand dukes maneuvering to take it for themselves or to place a puppet on the throne. The conflicts seen in Chapter 9 and continued in 10 and 11 is basically following up on that. The supporters of the draco kings have risen up, while a failed attempt for the throne led to the use of "neutral" Sarkaz (people with various stereotypical demon features) mercenaries who then strongarmed their way into a military coup. Although Victoria has the military to fight back, the grand dukes' loyalty is divided. The legend of the dragons has a hopeful note that the dragon without greed may return one day, perhaps indicating a branch of the old Draco royal lineage may have survived in secret.
6:07 I've been WAITING for him for SO LONG! he's been an NPC for several events so I'm glad he's finally becoming playable
Be careful! Some music in arknights have music label, particularly if its collab music. You don't have to worry too much if it comes from Monster siren hypergryph
28:42 lol rewatch that animation so many times but just now noticing the doodles on the music sheet óO lappi she can be a real troll^^
mfg
Olli
The best Arknights cosplay is the founder of Hypergryph as Andreana still
Terra has bands, but none of the members are Operators. I don't think you've heard their songs, but you should.
Alive until Sunset, DDD and Emperor are three famous in-universe bands.
Młynar: he's so hot
he's also a horse
a date with him must be... such a ride.
Arknights already has two anime. "Prelude to Dawn" - which touches on several chapters of the main plot. And the cartoon series "Lee's Detective Agency". The latter, by the way, is available directly on UA-cam. It would be great if you would undertake to record a reaction to one of them.
8:22
"I'm so curious, who are you?"
That is Maria and Margaret Nearl's older uncle Mylnar~
And definitely not a badass ex campaign knight or anything
Lappland has a 'Im the only who is allowed to kill you' kinda relationship with Texas
Haven't seen all the Arknights trailers myself despite playing since more or less the beginning (there is just so much!) so I'm happy to watch along. So much of it is great but I think the near light teaser is still my favourite. Would definitely like to see reactions for the music as well, as it is for me probably the most valuable thing to come out of arknights, perhaps even more so than the game itself. There isn't any playlist I use more than my arknights one lmao
I commented this on your previous Arknights video too but you do seem to have missed the regular PV for Under Tides, you only watched the 2D and 3D animated ones and I think you might be interested in that. It also happnes to be my favourite PV still. Either way, loved seeing your reactions in this video.
She reacted to it in part 2! The only missed trailer is Ideal City
@@KazutoKirigaya-lj6ie Oh my bad, somehow I missed that. Thanks for letting me know!
The story about the dragons is actually about the civil war between the three sides fighting for the throne. The girl represents Victoria(the country) and the two dragons and the lions are fighting for the crown.
Both Luo Xiaohei and Nine-Colored Deer were small (one unit) collabs for Arknights, mostly to promote the game with other know chinese media
Later this year, we're probably getting the Monster Hunter collab, which should be a big one (like R6S)
All up to date now. As a veteran ak player it's great seeing new players getting into the game. I'm probably not the first one to mention this but I love all of the ak tracks (battle themes, boss themes, lobby themes, character EPs, CC lobby tracks). Have a listen to all of them each has a different feel. Cheers and great vid
Regarding the Siracusano event, the grey haired lupo with a scar on her face name is Lappland Saluzo
Horse boy from the first trailer's name is Mwynar, the l with two lines through it is a polish character
I really enjoyed your reaction!
If you don't know what to check,
I would recommend the character theme!
There should be an official playlist called "Arknights Official EP".
Every single song is a banger!
And It's the moment where Yostar really shows off
that they are a music label hidden in a tower defense game :D
Lappy! (the gray haired one AKA Lappland)
Great reaction and considering next trailers have some of my favourite additions to the game i already can't wait for the next episode \o/
The little girl in the dragon trailer is pretty obviously a stand in for the country of Victoria with the two dragons and lions fighting for supremacy to reign over the land.
Lappland (Lappy, the one with the scar and grey hair) and Texas are the most popular pair of cp (ship) in the CN community. Both are modelled after wolf species which are extinct and their code names are the origins of the said extinct species. :)
If you do operator themes next, that’ll be like 65-70 3-6 minute songs
Just wondering if I've missed you reacting to the Ideal City trailer, because I was most hyped about that one and doesn't see it in part 5 or 6
The gray haired girl that fought Texas in the Il Siracusano trailer is Lappland. She's also an operator.
You'll have to look him up but one of the founders of Hypergryph and original creators of Arknights pulled off the best Andreana cosplay I've ever seen so he could sneak incognito into a convention. (Lowlight aka Umineko aka Hai Mao)
On one hand its midnight and I have exams tomorrow, on the other hand new arknights video so I guess im staying up for an additional hour
41:50 idk if anyone have mentioned before but the new open world game you mentioned in the past few video are set in a different "wolrd/planet" from what I can gather from it's PV.
Arknights takes place on Terra, Enfield takes place on Talos II. The beginning of the pv did starts in space and landing on the planet iirc.
The story about the two dragons and lions is sort of like a folklore/propanganda story about the country Victoria. It used to be ruled by the dragon people until the Lion people came and overthrow the dragon people. The ominous figure that is talking to the little girls is probably just some servant trying to indoctrinate her. Since those 2 little dragon girls are the surviving heirs of the overthrown royal family.
The dragon girl you see in the event trailer is indeed the little girl that was asked the question after the story was over.
There is also the Ambience Synesthesia stream vid on UA-cam that is basically the Arknights Consert
There are indeed artbooks. Pricey, though.
Im stoked to see the music reactions, especially the character EPs as imo they are the highlight
If you're looking for the OST stuff you should definitely start with the animated music videos. The songs are awesome and the visuals are even better.
The lates one was Day By Day by Aviella
The art is amazing, and we meme it's a musical game disguised in a tower defense given how many (different) bangers they have...
But if I had to use only one word to describe what I like the most about Arknights, it would be geopolitics.
Everything is so serious due to wars, catastrophes and discriminations.. it's somehow (sadly) relatable to our world, especially with each nation referencing to real ones. But it's a game, and in a universe going from fantasy to modernity, in which you can find angels adept with guns, op vampires, or whatever the hell is Kal'tsit...
to put it perspective the Sirucussa story is Texas going home to her family which iirc shes the next head to be the next Mafioso
You missed one vid right after the one on your last video, is where the characters from Ideal City are presented.
Endfield is in a completely seperate universe to Arknights, none of that world building or characters will carry over.
The grey haired girl is Lappland, she's a frenemy of Texas and has been in the game since Day 1
Reed the flameshadow is a continuation of events from Chapter 9 regarding operator Reed who is quite an old operator by now (in terms of release)
Arknights usually gets an event or two a month so there should be trailers for then.
After the music vidoes i suggest you watch the Concert and maybe the recent Ideal City livestream to give you a better idea how the game functions.
Overall loved your reactions and I really hope you play the game soon on stream or YT!!!
Cool finially you've do all of the current Trailer . Can't wait still you react to Character EP
For that Il siracusano movie, you might want to see one of the very first 'penguin logistic trailer'. One of the first organization trailer there is.
She appears late in the video.
...or maybe just search lappland...
Funny how this dropped just after i reached school.... I really want to watch this rn tho....
28:55 - Neat little tidbit that I haven't seen many people comment on: When her sword got "stuck" in the wall, and she destroyed it, she also destroyed the 4:3 aspect ratio. The rest of the video after that is widescreen. :P
Also, the gray haired girl with the scar is Lappland. She's like a "frenemy" with Texas. The best comparison I can give is kinda like Goku and Vegeta in the second half of Dragon Ball Z. He's still angry all the time, and too prideful to admit it, but he's not an enemy, just a rival. And that's kinda what's going on here.
Lappland is not Texas' enemy, but she'll look for any chance she can get to fight her, even in the middle of another fight.
As for background information, although I don't remember all the details, the gist of it is: Texas was part of a mafia family (don't remember if she was the boss, or daughter to the boss, but she was up there). She has left the mafia to join Rhodes Island (us). Lappland was part of a "rival" mafia family, and came to us just to chase after her.
I believe the story behind the event is basically that something bad happened to Texas' mafia family, so she went back to help.
All this basically confirms that the language spoken before is, in fact, Italian, so you were right there.
50:00 - The story is basically the "legend" behind one nation, which has been at war for literal ages, and it's between the Draco (dragon people) and the Aslan (Lion people), thus the dragons vs lions in the story.
And yes, I believe the little girl at the end is Reed (dragon girl), who is meant to be the "good" dragon, and the story will bring up, I "think" it's her sister, who is the greedy/evil one.
57:00 - He's another chinese dragon person, same as Ling (long blue hair, was dancing in the clouds while drinking in another video). Him, Ling and 2 other operators that weren't properly showcased in videos (Nian and Dusk) are basically fragments of a Dragon God. It was sealed and split into 11(?) fragments, which are the 11 siblings. So far we've officially met 4 of those (this guy being the newest addition).
(Additionally, in both Ling's and his videos, you see them fighting a big shadow of a monster. That shadow is their fragment of the Dragon God trying to break free. They have to fight it, basically all the time.
CC10 is coming soon and I'm ready for the daily lobby jamming session before malding
Collabs i wish are a possibility with Arknights:
- Monster Hunter series
- Resident Evil
- Megaman Zero (the inti creates one)
- Fire Emblem
- Shovel Knight
Arknights: Ambience Synesthesia would be perfect if you want to react to Arknight's music and please do so. It's a concert that hypergraph is held every year. you can find it on youtube and it's free.
when you find out that "ice" she was making was actually Glass; THEN you remember how glass is made and what that means to try and fight her in a Dessert
The man from Obscure Wanderer is Uncle Mlynar Nearl, the uncle of the Nearl sisters.
4:00 (ish) there's not a band like K/DA in that it's comprised of PLAYABLE characters...but there IS an in-universe band named Alive Before Sunset that have a number of absolutely based songs that are part of the overall soundtrack.
6:20 Młynar (mwih-nar) is the distant father figure (he's their uncle) to Margaret and Maria Nearl, the horse girl operators on the left side of that Near Light retro event.
16:38 Victoria is absolutely 100% an expy for the British Empire, not just architecturally, but also politically, and being one of the most technologically and militarily advanced nations on Terra.
20:41 Siege is the leader of the Glasgow Gang, which includes other playable operators, like Dagda (from a couple minutes earlier).
25:13 Texas is Siracusan by birth, and was part of the mafia before she left that life behind. The entire Siracusano event is dressed up to give MASSIVE Godfather vibes. It's incredible and I CAN'T WAIT.
51:46 Those two are Bagpipe (a vouivre, who are based on wyverns) and possibly Reed (a draco, who ARE dragons). Not related to each other at all. But Reed DOES have a sister.
dont think we ever got the PV for Ideal City, only the animated ones. shame but oh well.
3:52 The tentacle thing is what we will fight in Contigency Contract event. The enemies is full of eldritch horror tentacles thats why they put that in their CC#10 PV. If you play Arknights CC, Its not just random images. All of that is what we will fight in that event like in CC#9 PV you saw green jars/eggs, That abomination is the enemy in CC#9 and they're pain in the butt to kill them (well all of CC event are stupidly hard for early-mid players). Oh and btw you missed CC#8 reaction last time. IMO CC#8 have one of the most insane bass drop along with CC#10.
I see the thumbnail.
My brain: When Tekken and Arknights did a collab to have Jin Kazama in the game?
"Exercise, idk what that is" lmaoooo
Others have mentioned it but aside from reacting to Arknights' incredible music you should watch "The Lore of Arknights explained" its a great video to really understand everything that's going on. Also that Texas PV with the italian man speaking has english subtitles I believe.
Almost any country in Arknights either have direct counterpart in real life or at least have some inspiration from different countries and events from our history. Case in point - Victoria is obviously British empire. Lions are heraldic animals of England, while dragons in real life would represent Wales, in arknights dragons would represent not only Wales but also Ireland (and all those who came before english ppl and were basically conqueled by those "Lions"). In game there are "Dublinn" army that fight for indepandance from Londonium. So, basicly, IRA.
Tactical paus during Broccas skin segment, I see.
Ok but why do dragon dudes all have the same black and gold drip. We’ve got Zhongli, Azhdaha from Genshin, and Lee, Chongyue, that one dragon boss from Arknights
Arknights is unhinged and they don't anchor themselves to a theme, and that is a great thing about them.
I drive alot and Arknights playlist is perfect to listen to while driving.
some of my favourite character song
[ Stainless Heart ] Stainless
[ Undertopia ] Pozyomka
[ Magic Theorem ] Dorothy
[ March On! ] Horn
[ Spark for Dream ] Goldenglow
[Silver Lining] SilverAsh
[Radiant] Nearl the Radiant Knight
[Running In the Dark] by MONKEY MAJIK
the last one is not a character song but its good and its Arknights so there you go 😉
Your Arknights reactions it is always a stream of positive emotions
Thank you
There is an in game band called alive until sunset
Not caught up - we mentioned before that the Chinese version is a year ahead of the international game. We haven't seen past chapter 9.
If you liked the chaingang song in the forge, check out Warframe's "We All Lift Together" song.
There are different types of AK players that does Contingency Contract (pick one):
1. Newbie + Comeback players who hasn't been on for a long time or checked any news (and neither of them doesn't understand a single thing and have no idea what is going on):
> Sees CC10 on the main menu & decides to give it a try.
> Tentacles?!
> Why am I getting killed by a freakin' cannon?!
> Bruh
> This is bulls-
2. Everyone who experienced chapter 10 and but haven't seen the PVs or the CC10 mobs/stage yet (because they didn't want to get spoiled):
> Sees CC10 drop in global
> Sees the risk icons (tentacles) in the risk selection. (realization moment)
> Ah yes... the Cthulhu mobs, Manfred + Cannon from chapter 10.
> DEFENDERKNIGHTS
> Cannon go brrr
3. Same as no. 2 (above) except they spoiled themselves from twitter & youtube (or other sources) for more info on what to expect:
> Oh... it's those mobs from ch10.... and the boss too.... which means there will be a cannon. (before CC10 drops)
> After CC10 drops: called it.
> Defenderknights
> Cannon go brrrrrrr
4. Meanwhile those who knew before due to seeing or experiencing it in CN months prior (me included):
> Sees CC10 drop in global (feb 3rd)
> "I summon you... Cannon DPS AFK team! MudHoshi Combo!"
> Casually does risk 18 with AFK squad on day 1.
Texas and Lappland the (gray wolf) are wolf packs but when they are faced with fighting Project Red they will refuse because Project Red is Alpha Wolf
Hi there!!
On the global server we just finished Ideal City (the water theme park with Gavial the crocolady) and just began CC#10, so most of this video are things that will come in the future
About the blonde guy he is the uncle of Nearl and Blemishine, the blonde knights you have seen before
The white haired wolf is Lappland, she has been in the game from the beginning, so not much were known but that she had some kind of story with Texas, some kind of stalk, rivality or murder intention so I'm hyped with that event
I'd recommend this video-songs that were missing from the playlist
from Steve Aoki (story)
"Last of me" ua-cam.com/video/GUOfmUcp-jg/v-deo.html
"End like this" ua-cam.com/video/3cspL4AQ3FM/v-deo.html
from Rad Cat (dossoles event with Tequila)
"Ain't Seen Nothing Like This" ua-cam.com/video/M4hF8x462NM/v-deo.html
There are a lot of unique and great songs, character themes and EPs; the music of the trailers are mostly ingame; as stage music, lobby and boss fights (I think you asked something like that on an earlier video, like you hoped for the music game being as good as the trailers one :D) but knowing you liked both Gnosis and Lee you can check their theme's
Gnosis ua-cam.com/video/xEbNMPCYlOM/v-deo.html
Lee ua-cam.com/video/423BcsNSouw/v-deo.html
As you can see some themes have lyrics about that character story and some are just instrumental
I'd personally recommend "Alive" ua-cam.com/video/mnS5JqFojUw/v-deo.html and Gavial's new theme ua-cam.com/video/RL2qZdtfXV8/v-deo.html
About operators that have music groups...
Lorewise there are characters linked to music, as Emperor (the penguin is a rap celebrity), AUS (the group that sang Alive) or D.D.D.; you had to choose one of those 3 on the first Siesta's event; also Sora is kind of an idol too (the light brown girl that was singing on Texas video) also there is Ambience Synesthesia, it's the name of arknights' live concerts but they also group up operators as a band, release some EP and even launch skins as you have seen
The greatest effort I'd say was with "Manifesto" where they even released a music video ua-cam.com/video/VuKzuSC1xTY/v-deo.html
6:14, this characters last skill he has is one of the most cracked skills Arknights has ever seen or experienced.
38:43, this is Arknights Vatican City.

Di cosa odora la pioggia per te?
(what do think the rain smells like?)
di pulito? Di fresco? di erba e terra?
(like something clean? something fresh? soil and grass?)
Benvenuto a Siracusa straniero
(Welcome to Siracusa Stranger)
Che sfortuna. sta per iniziare la stagione delle piogge
(how unfortunate: the rain season is about to begin)
Purtroppo è così: nessuno può sfuggire al proprio passato
(This is it unfortunately: noboby can escape from their past)
Neppure la mia famiglia
(not even my family)
Un tempo eravamo potenti... avevamo il controllo su qualsiasi cosa!
(we were powerful... we had control over everything)
Ma non è rimasto nulla. La pioggia ha spazzato via tutto.
(there is nothing left. Rain has blown it all away)
È il codice d'onore dettato da Signora SIcilia
(it's the honor code dictated by Lady Sicilia)
E questo è il prezzo per averlo violato
(and this the price to pay for having broken it)
Anche se non siamo più a Siracusa
(even though we are not in Siracusa any more)
Anche se ci piace pensare di aver abbandonato le nostre vecchie identità
(even though we like to think we left our identities behind)
Anche se abbiamo fatto tutto il possibile per evitare questo
(even though we have done everything in our power to avoid this)
Ci troverà troverà sempre. non c'è via di fuga.
(he/she/it will always find us. There is no scape.)
il nostro sangue appartiene qui. questo è l'unico posto dove dovrebbe scorrere
(our blood belongs here. This is the only place where it should flows)
Fattene una ragione
(deal with it)
Sei ancora... una siracusana
(you still are... a siracusan)

Unfortunately, Endfield isn't even on Terra. It's on a completely different world sadly.
Kazdel Team is the UA-cam channel you can check out the music
I terms of collabs, I would like Broderlands, Neir Automata, or Final Fantasy. They seem like they fit stylistically and have good chances of actually happening.
Edit: As for less realistic, I want Splatoon.
The video about the two dragons, the little girl and the lions is actually just a poetic story telling and it's some might say it's bias. The dragons were the Draco's - a human race with Dragon motifs, Reed the Flame shadow is one, the little girl is not actually a person but rather a personification of a country named Victoria. And lastly the lions represents the Aslans- humans with lion characteristics. If you paused the video in 20:40 you'll see a girl in the middle which is a girl named Siege who is an Aslan.
The Grey haired one called Lappland, she is an playable operator. Idk how their lore goes with Texas, but Lappland really obsessed with Texas... While Sora is also one of Texas simps... And Exu too
I'm almost positive others have mentioned it, but you've actually passed where we are on the global version. Every time we watch a trailer without Eng subs? Let's just say the future is looking GOOD (or you found the original version of the trailer)
Really peaking into the future because EN haven't had most if these events yet. Cant wait for the one with Texas. Hopefully they give lappland a EN Va

We have something like that from the Manifesto MV
OH SHI!!! there is a "Band" in the lore, they could totally do a KDA!!!!
