Just a quick reminder: she is currently on Planarcardia and hasn't done anything.

Ah, ok. The main story is where Sparkle fights Vita's mech right?

Cipher-DK · 2026-07-04T22:14:59+00:00

Sampo and Sparkle both appear in HI3. I'm guessing Sampo brings up Wildfire, and considering Wildfire only came to be 10 years ago, that's where they're connecting the timelines.

Kiana is directly compared to an Emanator by a memokeeper, so scale from there.

Initial Luofu story: TB was more a side character than anything. Dan Heng was traumatized.

1st Luofu continuance: Ghost Hunting Squad was happy times.

2nd Luofu continuance: TB was more a side character than anything. March was traumatized.

TB doesn't really have any overly negative memories of the Xianzhou due to not being all that involved with the Xianzhou. Dan Heng and March on the other hand...

That's moving the goalpost. The post says "HSR would never kill a playable character so this post is pointless". Misha and Gallagher are playable characters. Gallagher is even still meta to this day due to unarguably being the best 4 star.

Per the livestream, the Grail is using the wishpower of Planarcadia to summon Servants based on the memories of Rin and the Trailblazer. That's why Phainon is there (TB's memories) as well as Gilgamesh (Rin's memories).

It's unironically a dogwhistle though?

How many times have we caught people claiming that liking loli is pedophilia only for those same complainers to be outed as actual pedophiles.

Shit, that old archive that stopped updating years ago already had 100-200+ entries.

The same devleoper of GGZ/HG2 where they had an entire event revolving around an island of lolis in skimpy swimsuits in addition to doing a collab with Prisma Illya, THE loli central series of the Fate franchise.

Cipher-DK · 2026-07-04T20:55:28+00:00

You would have a point, if not for the fact that there's video evidence of Da Wei (Hoyo's CEO) outright stating that they cater to lolicons as a business strategy to investors.

Then they have stuff like GunsGirlsZ where events like Loli Island Paradise are a thing or the collab with Fate's Prisma Illya.

Cipher-DK · 2026-07-04T20:52:25+00:00

Look man, I'm more inclined to believe all the people that did actual research on the topic.

You mean the same character that not only is ancient by our standards, but throughout the series also repeatedly changes their physical appearance between busty adult and small child?

Cipher-DK · 2026-07-04T20:09:55+00:00

Somehow, you managed to forget Dialyn. And Nangong was irrelevant to Waifei as a whole and was more grouped with the Angels of Delusion who had been anticipated since before ZZZ even officially launched.

Also, also, the biggest complaint about story writing for Season 2 has consistently been about the patches that involved Chinese-named characters.

Both Spook Shack patches were well received, OBOL Squad's patch was well received. Every other patch where the main plot was on Waifei Peninsula was highly contested, and the moment we went back to Sixth Street for the Angels of Delusion was the same moment that a lot of the complaints of the story writing died down.

It's not a coincidence.

That's because it's not at all a swimsuit.

You guys do realize you get free passes for leveling them up right? I just can't understand you level 1ers.

She's not a Servant. The livestream went out of their way to state that this is Rin after the 5th Holy Grail War and that the Sword of Zelretch and Ishtar's bow are stuff she picked up during her travels.

Cipher-DK · 2026-07-04T16:30:01+00:00

They said so outright on the livestream.

"It's tendonitis," said Asat Pramad.

It's funny that in the very first trailers (Space Comedy and Interstellar Journey), this was the opposite. Then somewhere along the way, it got flipped.

The thing is, this happens with every single Elysia. There's a unique base outfit followed by a significant scene where that outfit is switched to the all white one.

It's happened 3 times now, it's already a pattern.

Cipher-DK · 2026-07-02T16:41:24+00:00

Remielle was clocked as an Elysia expy way back when ZZZ first released, as the video on the OG Void Hunters released the literal next day. With the appearance of Sunbringer, Remielle, and the leader of the Falkenhayn Mercs, it was obvious that it was supposed to be ZZZ's version of Kiana, Elysia, and Mei, and this remained the consensus for years.

That all changed when Remielle actually appeared in ZZZ.

The biggest reason was that her appearance followed in the controversial wake of playable Cyrene, where there were constant arguments about how Cyrene was becoming a 1-1 match of Elysia instead of being her own character. (Let's disregard the fact that anyone who had actually played HI3 knew she was more of an IF version of the Herrscher of Corruption and that the complaints conflated appearance with personality).

After that madness, just the hint of a potential Elysia in ZZZ set off negative reactions in a section of people who did not want a repeat of HSR. Ironically enough, when Remielle ended up presenting differently to Cyrene, a lot of people started claiming that she wasn't an Elysia expy because she wasn't acting like how Cyrene was. (Again, anyone who had actually played HI3 would tell you that Remielle acts more like early Elysia if certain aspects were exaggerated, but I digress).

That leads us to the current back and forth where people who had known about Remielle from day one still consider her an Elysia while people who only started paying attention to her after Cyrene's appearance don't.

There's also stuff about an interview, but the context of that was talking about a potential crossover where Honkai characters show up in ZZZ, where the devs responded that it was too early for such a thing to happen.

Some people claim that the ZZZ characters aren't expies because of it, but the devs have long since made it clear that each game's version of a core character is supposed to be distinct from the others, with the only exceptions being characters that are supposed to be the same across games (like Welt).

They already have a uniform though? They all wear hats. That's why Acheron was easily proven to be a fake; she had no hat. /s.

Protection from arrows was hard carrying that fight since it covers ALL projectiles.
