So Belle and Wise became Phaethon to prepare for their goal; going back home to Helios Academy, deep within Hollow Zero, and find proof that their teacher and surrogate mother Carole Arna wasn't responsible for the Fall of the Old Capital. How much does anyone want to bet that the Sacrifice and those who either discovered or created it are the real culprits behind Eridu's destruction? Still Miyabi is dedicated to find the culprits and like the public believes Carole was responsible and could probably become a enemy of the Phaethon Siblings, only due to misunderstandings
Maybe there's more than one 'Sacrifice', that could have been the result of *actual* sacrifices that soaked in a lot of ethereal energy and kept Hollows from growing out of control, all of who are innocent people sacrificed by the people behind Vision. My bet is that Miyabi also *knows* this, that Carole Arna wasn't responsible but rather a victim, maybe she was *forced* to make Hollow Zero, and Miyabi's mother was caught in the middle for knowing this but died a hero, unlike Carole. After all, Carole, as implied by the sibling's words, died that day. So *why* would Miyabi use present tense?
Given what happened to Khors, Belabog President and Koleda’s father, someone didn’t want people investigating the Sacrifice, but was unable to move it from where Khors found it. Most likely, someone who working with on the monument Khors found the Sacrifice is connected to the culprit that “framed” Phaethon’s teacher. Both cases have the common trait that someone was implicated as a criminal, despite how out of character it was to those associated with, and how no follow-up investigation was conducted, despite the lack of evidence behind the charges. Despite the receipt that showed the money Khors “allegedly” embezzled was used for the production of the prototype, it’s unlikely that Khors didn’t make contact with someone involved in the purchases on the receipt. Someone must have suppressed witness testimony “one way or another”, and expunged the records where the receipt came from to bury the case of Khors’ disappearance. This all points to the idea that this “mastermind” is not just one person, meaning it’s very much possible, that the Vision case, the Belabog case, not to mention what happened during Tour de Inferno, that all of these events lead to the idea of a conspiracy that exploits Hollows for their own gain. Given how Hollow Zero is the “first” Hollow, it’s not hard to imagine that whoever did cause Hollow Zero had something to benefit from Large amounts of Ether, and caused Hollow Zero to grab their “hope”, while everyone else paid the price for opening this Pandora’s Box.
@@jamesrobertson6591 Makes sense tbh bc if u look at the moon it is also covered meaning just my guess maybe a piece of the moon flew down and someone discovered and the proxy teacher tried to stop them but fail due to the ppl experiment going wrong forming the hollow zero
@@katzcat8181 I already felt that there must be more of those monsters, but if you're right about Miyabi possibly knowing this, then she could already be an ally instead of a misunderstanding enemy
Most of the time fairy seems like an simple soulless AI but in reality fairy is a very intelligent AI that's just like anyone else but doesn't show themselves due to their main goal. Whatever that goal may be.
I still think Fairy and the other 3 AIs will cause a calamity. In mythos, Helios chariot was a quadriga, and Phaethon lost control over the four horses, causing an uninhabitable earth before Zeus killed him.
This talk about Helios Academy prompted me to look up the lore teaser. Someone from their academy was hailed as the seventh hero. I'm almost willing to bet that they're the real culprit
This chapter had a lot of great moments, but this one has got to be my favorite because of how personal it felt. They didn't say "we grew up here" and be done with it. They went out of their way to describe things their habits at specific locations and the routes they often took to get there. Wise saying "two... no, three security gates" also shows that quite a bit of time had passed since they last been to Helios Academy. Not long enough to completely forget it, but long enough that Wise misremembered at first. It really shows that they lived in Old Eridu for a long time, and the place meant a lot to them without specifically telling it.
I wasn't expecting them to just suddenly drop the sibling's lore on us like that, but they did and i'll be real, this is one of those rare moments where a hoyo game sorta hits me in the feels.
Sadly, their hearts are still in the past. I hope they have a brighter future ahead of them. I like the fact that in zzz, the MC has an ego and the player is just an observer of the story, and the mystery is gradually revealed.
i know people are fearing that the proxies might get removed from relevance due to lack of tv stuff (i hope changes balance out tv and combat later on), but this scene right here makes me think they will still be extremely important.
TV mode isn't being remove, but they recently said they are trying to improve them and make sure theirs a balance between Exploration and Combat Story stages
It's not that they're removed from relevance story-wise but that their job as proxies is completely not reflected in the gameplay and we have story from the MCs (and only story) and gameplay only from the pov of the agents. Basically it yeets the immersion of being "a proxy" as opposed to just a bystander watching in gameplay terms. It sucks. If anything i'd rather they removed TV from side stories/modes and polished it for the main story. Like, i might just watch other people play until they decide to reintroduce it in a polished form in the main story and not play myself kinda deal lul.
@@pallingtontheshrike6374Isn’t the TV mode what allows the immersion of what being a proxy is like..? They explore, lead/guide, solve puzzles, discover new pathways or clearing out a map. That’s a proxy’s job no? Even in combat its still somewhat applied. The proxy hides away so the agents can fight, we watch what’s happening and how it ends. Then we lead them deeper into the hollow when the fight ends. Ppl complain about TV mode being unfun and not immersive enough but its those same ppl who wanted to play as their favourite agents walking around sixth street… Thats not immersive nor is it impactful to the game. Im just biased ig though since I like the puzzles and exploration that TV mode applies. Its different than the repetitive and boring fights I have to do OVER AND OVER with the same characters to finish a quest.
Yeah i kinda teared up because we know that after ceaser tried to sacrifice herself like she did, I assume reminded them of their teacher sacrificing herself
The reason Belle and Wise became the legendary proxies Phaethon it is as I had suspected from the backstory trailer for ZZZ. Their motive is to return to the Helios Academy engulfed within Hollow Zero in search of the truth to the Hollow Zero's creation and the Old Capital's downfall. They believe their teacher and surrogate mother Carole Arna was not the one responsible for Hollow Zero and they believe returning to the Helios Academy will get them the answers they seek. The reason they believe so for now is unknown. Then there is Miyabi who vows to find and capture those who were responsible for Hollow Zero. I imagine once all of the factions have been given a proper introduction with the next one most likely Section 6 and later Obol Squad, Phaethon will finally begin their trek to Helios Academy once they get Periman to spill the beans on what he knows about Sacrifice and those who killed former president Belobog because the fact is there are those who does not want Sacrifice to be slain. Phaethon will need the help of all the factions to achieve that goal. As for Phaethon and Miyabi, while their goals are connected, I only imagine their paths eventually will lead them to clash due to the siblings being connected to Professor Arna until Belle and Wise fully explain themselves. They however won't be alone in explaining because Koleda who had blamed her father for something he did only to find the truth years later will vouch for them and that includes Miyabi's teammates. In turn, Miyabi will in a sense help Phaethon uncover the truth to perhaps clear the professor's name assuming it's true she was used as a fall girl and also find the ones truly responsible for the collapse of the Old Capital. Perhaps this will be Patch 2.0 as the truth slowly comes to light along with the awakening of another of the Four Great AI.
This actually makes sense since the obol squad has 3 more members left if u check characters friendship thingy every faction has 4 members so I could see us first going to section 6 and learning about miyabi and pearlman info about sacrifice and finally obol squad will reveal S11 and anby relationship and leading somehow a clue about the sacrifice and the other 3 High AI
@@pokeygem6783 Correction: Each faction have four members that you are able to recruit as each of them have others among them that you could not play as such as Lighter from the Sons of Calydon.
There are four horses of helios that phatheon uses to traverse the heavens. We will likely need to find fairy, jinni, youkai, ghost to navigate hollow zero.
@@SoulPenalty In other words, Phaethon must find and awaken the other three AI and at the same time unlocking a pandora's box by those who has ulterior plans for those four AI. I mean the four AI are pandora's box in of themselves.
Just finished this part and i could not help but shed a tear, truly heartwrenching for a game with a lot of silly antics, that's what i love about Mhy games, it has everything in one package.
You said it. You know it's a good game when gacha becomes the least of your reasons to keep playing. The game ironically is making me like characters Not by their physical appearance (too common in gacha) but in their actual character and stories. Koleda became my favorite solely because of her story, and Caesar I also love because of her story. Belle and Wise, who I figured in the beginning would be shallow player self inserts are actual living breathing characters, even if they don't fight. I played Genshin years ago and as far as I remember that game never made me care two cents about the characters.
@@ReiseLukasI like how Wise and Belle’s lack of inaction is explained by their role in the story: they’re guides, not fighters. And yet, despite their more backseat approach in regards to the action they don’t ever feel overshadowed by the other characters in the name of making the other characters look cool, which happens a lot in Genshin. Another I really enjoy is the individual hangouts you can go on with the characters, it makes them feel like actual friends: unlike in - again - Genshin where a good majority of the friendship stuff is locked behind voice lines without ever really reflecting that sense of closeness in the game itself, barring a few exceptions.
So they were already orphans before the collapse since the one that raised them was not their biological parents and their home was an academy thats pretty interesting. also wasn't their school mentioned in another trailer correct me if im wrong btw
They actually did a great job and foreshadowing into linking this scene, with the current ep on miyabi, even did a comeback on this scene, and it is all linked to her short film as well, i love this game just for those details. ( we will soon have infos about helios academy, considering we got infos about all void hunters, one of them being the "founder of the helios academy". )
I wonder if it's possible, Carole actually got corrupted and became, Nineveh? I can only imagine an ethereal like that could only exist if it was smack dab in the center when hollow zero first formed.
No. Carole Arna is not Nineveh, and you can see the proof in the records of "Lost Items in the Old Capital" Its a woman that was turned into symbiote ethereal of humanoid figure and flowers and vines. That woman must have been swallowed by the corrupted seeds that she planted in a pot, that it mutated fast during the Hollow disaster.
nah, it would be too fucking painful. Imagine going through all of this to clear your adoptive mother's name just to kill her again in the end. That's fucked up
Carole isn't Nineveh. And there is a proof that can be found in the archives of "Lost Items in the Old Capital", that it was a woman that was swallowed by the mutated flower seeds that grown rapidly due to the ether activity during the hollow disaster, and they intertwined, forming a symbiote ethereal.
Just played this part 😭 I had no idea how personal and deep Bell and Wise's being Proxies really was. I admittedly came to ZZZ for gacha but honestly I care little about that now apart from wanting characters the story makes me love (like Koleda and Caesar). I did not expect a decently good story to exist in this game and It just makes my decision to get the game a way better choice than I ever thought possible. I hope Belle and Wise achieve what they set out to do. This scene gives me an even bigger reason to keep playing
Well all we got are more questions then answers. Like Perlman's information are there more parties at work? What are these ether corporations gain from trying to corrupt the well, and turing someone like Pompey into an ethereal boss. Either way, it's good to know that the reason wise and belle became proxies was so they can find the truth of what really happened in the old capital
My guess is Carole is still waiting for them at the entrance of the academy. Mostly likely turned into a powerful ethereal. Also they might need an army to penetrate deep into Hollow Zero, I wonder how many factions will be involved.
@@afikkusan I can assure you I'm not that kind of person. Maybe I didn't get far enough in Genshin but as far as I went there wasn't anything this compelling for me. I'm not some cool dude hiding emotions. My heart is very often on my sleeves
@@afikkusanin zzz lore teaser, and in 1.2, it showed more lore than genshin midpackt in 4 years, Genshin plot= tsarist sending the fatui like this to get the gnoses of year and year, taking the crumbs from the abyss,in 4.7 An Everlasting Dream Intertwined, aether finally spoke with the lumine after years, he spoke to caribert, so that in the end the lumine and aether forgets everything they talked about, no one deserves these crumbs from the brothers.
Damn that would be deliciously fucked up, but as of now I don't think we have any information on who Nineveh was before it got corrupted as far as I know
@@ClownDollThatHasContemptForYou If i remember correctly, there are some old books that you randomly get in Hollow Zero that say Niniveh was apparently only a young woman with a potted flower when she got corrupted
This is... a hail Mary but I have a theory. What if ethereal creatures like Nineveh was created from the ethereal corporation? Think about it. First time we saw a ethereal corruption happening was when Billy and Anby saw it corrupting one of the Red Fang gang member. Like almost a different creature with no resemblance of a human. Meanwhile Nineveh while yeah still a ethereal but you can tell she was a human, same with the twins, the sacrifice, and now Pompey who were human turned ether bosses. Going back to the sacrifice it's pretty obvious that one was created in a lab kinda like what happened with Pompey
@@BanishedSilentShadow3318 Pompey turned into an Ethereal,I don't think he's similar to a sacrifice, sacrifices seem like something intentionally made rather than just a creature that the hollows corrupted,I think whether someone turns into a strong ethereal or not has to do with how much ether is around when they get corrupted, cinderglow lake was like 90% ether crystals by the time Caesar and the others reached it so there was a lot of ether.
The question is what the hell cause Hollows to appear in the first place? Did it came from space, or did humans had a hand in it like they usually cause tge end of the world
I really want it to turn out their teacher IS guilty and phaetons were anti-heroes all the way. This would have made the plot so much darker and characters so more lively that they are. And though they aren't heroes... They still do good things and have friends on their side.
A story doesn't need dark to be interesting that's a childish way of thinking. And the characters are plenty lively already. Mind you phaethon are already anti heroes because they are literally breaking the law by being proxies. That doesn't make them bad people though.
Maybe I am reading to much into this, but my intuition is telling me what Wise wanted to say before Fairy cut him of is that they are responsible for Hollow Zero and not their teacher.
@@ReiseLukas and the best thing? It maybe was hinted at already. When Belle/Wise connected Fairy into their system they have a "vision" where both Belle and Wise stand infront of a Hollow and both of them look scared/confused.
@@KarolZiom this would be have horrifying implications if true. To think the character we use to traverse the many areas of New Eridu and the Outer Ring, helping people in any way they can, all in the back of their minds the burden of knowing they were responsible for everything......makes even the most minors tasks do in game seem like Belle and Wise are doing everything they can to atone for what they did. they're practically subjecting themselves to community service.
@@ReiseLukas Oh yeah it would be horrifying but also story wise also very cool. Like that would make them the most dark/sad protagonists in Mihoyo games to date (I didn't played Honkai tho so I don't have full extended knowledge)
I had to look it up again, but the founder of Helios Academy was praised as one of the seven heroes for discovering commonalities in hollows. I’m almost willing to bet that this professor was the true culprit and professor Arna was made a scapegoat. What’s more is that there are other AI’s of Fairy’s type. So what I’m curious about is this: are we going to be collecting these rogue programs, or are we going to lock horns with their users?
the lore trailer talked that hollow zero was already an era old or probably a couple of generations old. but here they said that the twins adoptive parent probably caused hollow zero with miyabi losing her mom because of it. am i missing something or is there something wrong with the timeline of the story?
Wise & Belle believed their teacher wasn’t responsible for the fall. I believe Carole isn’t the one either because the two survived, thanks to her. But many doubt their survival was out of genuine affection towards them; the mere existences of Phaethon and Miyabi will progressively turn into problems to those behind the fall.
I dunno how I missed the majority of this before. It may just not have seemed very pertinent until now, but with the new update. sooooooo much is up in the air story wise now.
Bad memory, so correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't there a trailer where they mentioned that someone was lost in Hollow Zero? The one with a purple flame or something, could that person somehow be their teacher?
Perlman and their reason for needing the sacrifice will be huge plot points if the theory is right about the sacrifice being connected with the ether corp lucius was colluding with and hollows such as nineveh
@@carlfrancisco2306 theres multiple mentions in his trust events of someone fitting Billy's descirption wearing a red scarf, heavily implying he used to wear one back when he lived in the Outer Ring
Don't think the scarf is the same, i mean I'm pretty sure the scarf Eous had belong to him since Belle, Wise, and Eous came from the same academy. The scarf is likely something Eous held for awhile to remember their home
Bro, I really wanna play this game. It’s like a mixture of devil may cry gameplay and persona five passive gameplay to build your character as strong as you can not to mention the story is very compelling… unfortunately it has far too much fan service and I feel like I might lose half a mil just to make a good team lol.
Nonsense. This game is very generous with you. You get a few characters free and I got 2 S Ranked characters with barely spending a dime. Sure if you want ALL the characters that can drain your wallet but ZZZ is far more reasonable than say Genshin when it comes to Gacha. Also most of the actual fanservice are just in the promotions. Fanservice in game is very tame and often I find the story and characters more engaging than their figures
They’ve had at least a few in-universe months working with Fairy and doing a LOT of commissions with her to rebuild their Proxy level, along with several events and interactions that had them develop from strangers to practically roommates. Besides, it’s less that they’re trusting Fairy, and more that they’re explaining why they had an urge to return to a memorial
ZZZ needs to chill with the music, many times in this quest the music has not fitted the environment at all. Here it is too loud and lofi for an emotional scene.

I wonder if it's possible, Carole actually got corrupted and became, Nineveh? I can only imagine an ethereal like that could only exist if it was smack dab in the center when hollow zero first formed.
It could be possible
No. Carole Arna is not Nineveh, and you can see the proof in the records of "Lost Items in the Old Capital"
Its a woman that was turned into symbiote ethereal of humanoid figure and flowers and vines. That woman must have been swallowed by the corrupted seeds that she planted in a pot, that it mutated fast during the Hollow disaster.
nah, it would be too fucking painful. Imagine going through all of this to clear your adoptive mother's name just to kill her again in the end. That's fucked up
Carole isn't Nineveh. And there is a proof that can be found in the archives of "Lost Items in the Old Capital", that it was a woman that was swallowed by the mutated flower seeds that grown rapidly due to the ether activity during the hollow disaster, and they intertwined, forming a symbiote ethereal.
No ,I think if Carole got corrupted at all she'd be a different ethereal
Never thought I would love this game as much as I do now…we’ve probably barely scratched the surface too..
So phaeton is trying to get close to helios just like the greek mythology
Just played this part 😭
I had no idea how personal and deep Bell and Wise's being Proxies really was. I admittedly came to ZZZ for gacha but honestly I care little about that now apart from wanting characters the story makes me love (like Koleda and Caesar). I did not expect a decently good story to exist in this game and It just makes my decision to get the game a way better choice than I ever thought possible. I hope Belle and Wise achieve what they set out to do. This scene gives me an even bigger reason to keep playing
What quest was it tho😭😭
@zerodegreezgaming9539 end of the Tour De Inferno
The plot is thicken, Looking forward for future chapters…
Well all we got are more questions then answers. Like Perlman's information are there more parties at work? What are these ether corporations gain from trying to corrupt the well, and turing someone like Pompey into an ethereal boss.
Either way, it's good to know that the reason wise and belle became proxies was so they can find the truth of what really happened in the old capital
"The real way home" as Belle said...
My guess is Carole is still waiting for them at the entrance of the academy. Mostly likely turned into a powerful ethereal.
Also they might need an army to penetrate deep into Hollow Zero, I wonder how many factions will be involved.
All those silly and light hearted story in ZZZ makes you forgot, Hoyo loves to traumatize their fandom with dark shit.
I played Genshin years ago but never cared about the story and characters like I care about ZZZ's characters and story
@@ReiseLukas it's always you people who thinks "oh I'm cool asf I don't care bla bla bla".
@@afikkusan I can assure you I'm not that kind of person. Maybe I didn't get far enough in Genshin but as far as I went there wasn't anything this compelling for me. I'm not some cool dude hiding emotions. My heart is very often on my sleeves
@@afikkusanin zzz lore teaser, and in 1.2, it showed more lore than genshin midpackt in 4 years, Genshin plot= tsarist sending the fatui like this to get the gnoses of year and year, taking the crumbs from the abyss,in 4.7 An Everlasting Dream Intertwined, aether finally spoke with the lumine after years, he spoke to caribert, so that in the end the lumine and aether forgets everything they talked about, no one deserves these crumbs from the brothers.
@@afikkusan ZZZ prologue story from 1 to 1.4 already peaked all of Genshin's story beside Fontaine and Sumeru Archon quest
Even tho ppl hate on zzz but come on u give the music sole credit bc this was peak
Who here thinks the giant Etherial that Miyabi was chasing in her introduction WAS her mother?
Damn that would be deliciously fucked up, but as of now I don't think we have any information on who Nineveh was before it got corrupted as far as I know
@@ClownDollThatHasContemptForYou If i remember correctly, there are some old books that you randomly get in Hollow Zero that say Niniveh was apparently only a young woman with a potted flower when she got corrupted
@@ehe5089damn i collected some texts from hollow zero but I haven't read them yet
This is... a hail Mary but I have a theory.
What if ethereal creatures like Nineveh was created from the ethereal corporation? Think about it. First time we saw a ethereal corruption happening was when Billy and Anby saw it corrupting one of the Red Fang gang member. Like almost a different creature with no resemblance of a human.
Meanwhile Nineveh while yeah still a ethereal but you can tell she was a human, same with the twins, the sacrifice, and now Pompey who were human turned ether bosses.
Going back to the sacrifice it's pretty obvious that one was created in a lab kinda like what happened with Pompey
@@BanishedSilentShadow3318 Pompey turned into an Ethereal,I don't think he's similar to a sacrifice, sacrifices seem like something intentionally made rather than just a creature that the hollows corrupted,I think whether someone turns into a strong ethereal or not has to do with how much ether is around when they get corrupted, cinderglow lake was like 90% ether crystals by the time Caesar and the others reached it so there was a lot of ether.
So essentially 2.0 might be us traveling to hollow Zero exploring the old capital after we establish the other factions.
It looks more like end game goal
That's too soon.
too soon, the game could have more than 5 years in it's lifespan, like it's brethren, Genshin
so the world was already ruined before old Eridu...
and the moon too
The question is what the hell cause Hollows to appear in the first place? Did it came from space, or did humans had a hand in it like they usually cause tge end of the world
Moon? @@dr.medical3686
idk why but hearing fairy giving her condolences kinda hit hard...
I rarely tear up to things in games but this scene really hit me, I can't explain it.
I really want it to turn out their teacher IS guilty and phaetons were anti-heroes all the way. This would have made the plot so much darker and characters so more lively that they are. And though they aren't heroes... They still do good things and have friends on their side.
A story doesn't need dark to be interesting that's a childish way of thinking. And the characters are plenty lively already. Mind you phaethon are already anti heroes because they are literally breaking the law by being proxies. That doesn't make them bad people though.
If we were to go dark, it'd be better if the duo were inadvertently at fault
Maybe I am reading to much into this, but my intuition is telling me what Wise wanted to say before Fairy cut him of is that they are responsible for Hollow Zero and not their teacher.
Oh God, that would be dark
@@ReiseLukas and the best thing? It maybe was hinted at already. When Belle/Wise connected Fairy into their system they have a "vision" where both Belle and Wise stand infront of a Hollow and both of them look scared/confused.
@@KarolZiom this would be have horrifying implications if true. To think the character we use to traverse the many areas of New Eridu and the Outer Ring, helping people in any way they can, all in the back of their minds the burden of knowing they were responsible for everything......makes even the most minors tasks do in game seem like Belle and Wise are doing everything they can to atone for what they did. they're practically subjecting themselves to community service.
@@ReiseLukas Oh yeah it would be horrifying but also story wise also very cool. Like that would make them the most dark/sad protagonists in Mihoyo games to date (I didn't played Honkai tho so I don't have full extended knowledge)
@@KarolZiom yeah, it would recontextualize everything. If this becomes true I'm definitely seeing my tasks from Officer Mewmew in a different light.
I had to look it up again, but the founder of Helios Academy was praised as one of the seven heroes for discovering commonalities in hollows. I’m almost willing to bet that this professor was the true culprit and professor Arna was made a scapegoat. What’s more is that there are other AI’s of Fairy’s type. So what I’m curious about is this: are we going to be collecting these rogue programs, or are we going to lock horns with their users?
you could include the beginning from the black screen, when they tell Fairy that they are going to the true home
Looks like Phaethon and Miyabi's goals aren't that different to each other after all. It's the same goal.
Said literally no one.
the lore trailer talked that hollow zero was already an era old or probably a couple of generations old. but here they said that the twins adoptive parent probably caused hollow zero with miyabi losing her mom because of it. am i missing something or is there something wrong with the timeline of the story?
Also the continuation of the Miyabi/Twins fall of the old capital story line is soooo much more now.
Wise & Belle believed their teacher wasn’t responsible for the fall. I believe Carole isn’t the one either because the two survived, thanks to her. But many doubt their survival was out of genuine affection towards them; the mere existences of Phaethon and Miyabi will progressively turn into problems to those behind the fall.
I dunno how I missed the majority of this before. It may just not have seemed very pertinent until now, but with the new update. sooooooo much is up in the air story wise now.
Do we know the name of the music during this scene?
Professors Arche, the fonder of helios academy
With this sequence I have an idea to make them controllable in extreme areas
a foxian
mf got defeated in the previous wardance and wasn't popular enough to rejoin the competition. So she went to this universe.
4:39 I wonder what Wise was gonna say there. I don't think it's as simple as "She was our mother" or something like that.
looks like we get our answer in ch 5
Bad memory, so correct me if I'm wrong.
Isn't there a trailer where they mentioned that someone was lost in Hollow Zero? The one with a purple flame or something, could that person somehow be their teacher?
No its the founder of helios academy profesor arche
@@sunglassfrog89 Ah okay, thanks
visual novel/Game👍
Perlman and their reason for needing the sacrifice will be huge plot points if the theory is right about the sacrifice being connected with the ether corp lucius was colluding with and hollows such as nineveh
Anyone know the name of the background ost?
they also played this soundtrack during nekomata scene in chapter 1, but i still can't find soundtrack and the official name of it
Way home
I'm waiting for the void hunters to appear.
Now i wondering...
When appeared Hollow Zero?
How old are the siblings?
i need go know the ost for this scene
Waos
Next chapter will be section 6
4:50 Oh hey it's Ayaka what you doing here 😄!
Music name?
I thought professor Arche was their mentor, bet hes the big bad!
What's the OST called?
I need that bgm NOW. That sothing bgm...
Way home
So this is Sunbringer they are talking about no? maybe??? hopefully???
Its not
What quest was this
Miyabi sounds like marrinette from miraculous
Which I want to pull, Lighter or Miyabi?
Depends. Meta or personal preference? Miyabi is going to be OP, she's too popular already.
@@phantomblade89 I mean, Acheron is still very strong. Who knows, maybe Miyabi will receive the Acheron/Neuvillete treatment.
Yooo
So we are just not gonna mention that red scarf being their and potentially it being Billy's scarf?
Uhh no? Billy doesn't have a scarf and just because Billy wears a red jacket doesn't mean all red things is connected to him.
@@carlfrancisco2306 theres multiple mentions in his trust events of someone fitting Billy's descirption wearing a red scarf, heavily implying he used to wear one back when he lived in the Outer Ring
Don't think the scarf is the same, i mean I'm pretty sure the scarf Eous had belong to him since Belle, Wise, and Eous came from the same academy. The scarf is likely something Eous held for awhile to remember their home
Mdude, it's from eous, it literally says on the screen that Belle takes it from eous and ties it to the fence

Bro, I really wanna play this game. It’s like a mixture of devil may cry gameplay and persona five passive gameplay to build your character as strong as you can not to mention the story is very compelling… unfortunately it has far too much fan service and I feel like I might lose half a mil just to make a good team lol.
Nonsense. This game is very generous with you. You get a few characters free and I got 2 S Ranked characters with barely spending a dime. Sure if you want ALL the characters that can drain your wallet but ZZZ is far more reasonable than say Genshin when it comes to Gacha.
Also most of the actual fanservice are just in the promotions. Fanservice in game is very tame and often I find the story and characters more engaging than their figures
@@phantomblade89 21 current playable characters, 16 females, and only 8 females with potential back pain issues. That's 50% not 90
@@phantomblade89 Most NPCs are average
@@phantomblade89 After scenes like this in the video I know your opinion is cap.
OMG JUST PLAY IT 😐 There’s no fan service in it at all!
It kinda feel rushed why the siblings trust fairy now they still don't know her full orgin yet
They’ve had at least a few in-universe months working with Fairy and doing a LOT of commissions with her to rebuild their Proxy level, along with several events and interactions that had them develop from strangers to practically roommates.
Besides, it’s less that they’re trusting Fairy, and more that they’re explaining why they had an urge to return to a memorial
so many mouth has pass in the story
ZZZ needs to chill with the music, many times in this quest the music has not fitted the environment at all. Here it is too loud and lofi for an emotional scene.
I really liked it personally, It really fit the scene
It was perfect for this scene
zzz there's no need to chill, the music is great, so stay as you are
The music was absolutely perfect here, and it is in pretty much every other place it's used. At least, that's my opinion. I love it.
I thought it writes "gaza" at 6:00 or bruh am I the only one? h&ll nah
Probably the only one. Those look nowhere near like they spell Gaza
Only you
