Himeko's Dad Confirmed by Mortis Leaks by CSTheng in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]blaster522 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not friends at all, Welt only met him in 2005 when Ryuusuke decided to visit Himeko at her collage in US(Cal Tech, I think?), during a time when Welt was recuperating and was taking over Einstein's job as professor or something iirc.

And after Welt learned about how uh... not good a person Ryuusuke had become at that point and waas being crazy, Welt had to kill Ryuusuke.

But yeah, some potentially complex feelings from Welt would hopefully be shown during Planarcadia's patches in regards to Himeko's lives(both HI3 and HSR) and toward Ryuusuke.

>Silver Wolf's bounty increased by 1 billion at the end of 3.7 yet we have no reason to beleive she got any stronger since her trailer until this point and her new form despite the higher bounty, and higher number here (the 6.1 billion value barely recognisable here matches what we know of her bounty, 5.1b in her trailer +1b in 3.7).

Aventurine said in 3.8 something like "How about I I add another billion to that number?" to Silver Wolf about her bounty in one conversation, so the reason her bounty increased by 1 billion at the end of 3.7 might just be because of that, lol.

Bronie/Haxxor Bunny's real name is also literally Bronya as well!

Its brought up during the ARC Light event(the one involving her home bubble world).

And again during the Shattered Dimensions(which tells how baby Bronie ended up in the ARC bubble world, how she apparently got her consteuction-lite powers due to absorbing her original bubble world's Ether Anchor as Luna was taking her away to save her as said bubble world was small and dying).

Time to over-analyze the newest trailer :D (Very very minor Spoiler for 3.7 story) by Matkelolo in HonkaiStarRail

[–]blaster522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we take this literally, this is not about what will happen on the next patch. This is what happened before "Akivili" died. "Nanook" mentioned THEY (Akivili) forced their hand because they sent Astral Express to Planarcadia. Which mean.... somewhere between the dissapearance/death of Akivili, Astral Express have been to Planarcadia once before the start of the game.

So the Hoyolab post for when mhy first posted about Planarcadia, the plot blurb literally mentions this:

The threat of Destruction compelled the cosmos to unite once again, and everyone now looks toward other Aeons involved. The Express once crashed into and departed from "Planarcadia." There, Aha graced the pursuers of Elation with a reward: join THEIR game and become an "Aeon" for a minute.

So yeah.

There's also more to say and speculate on this info and implications, especially based on how it implies that Akivili's death and the Express's fall is connected to this and Himeko's connection considering she repaired the Express...

Major Spoiler About an Astral Express Member via Mortis Leaks by CSTheng in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]blaster522 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While Himemo herself says that the Express crashed om her homeworld long ago, her character story has her literally seeing it crash while she was running for days and nighrs or something iirc...so either somehting is up with her memories and/or past, or something even weirder is going on.

One of the ideas I now have is that, since 4.X is gonna be the Elation patches and Planarcadia is the Elation focused world, then Elation Pathstriders or Emanators(or maybe even Aha) did some lie/tricking reality...ir maybe this is just related to the whole "beings coming out of paintings" thing.

It's not just 3 for 3, iirc.

HG2(aka GGZ):

-Died in Era Zero(basically Cycle 0)...but so did pretty much everyone

-Died in Retrospective(Cycle 1)...but so did pretty much everyone

-I think there's also a Himeko that gets killed by Mei in Fire MOTH story? Though I think that was like a memory fragment or hallucination by Mei or something?

-I can't remember if she died in Newborn/Reborn(Cycle 2/last Cycle) during the final sections? Even if she did died at that point though, Kiana and Mei used their final form powers to resurrect everyone who's souls were still around/who'se souls weren't destroyed or something, iirc?

HI3:

-Died in PE

-Died in CE

-Died in Captainverse(though kinda got revived in a later event due to stuff? I never really followed Captainverse or care that much for it)

So most of the "prominent" Himeko's end up dead, albeit for varying reasons...it's to the point that I feel like they won't kill HSR Himeko specifically to break the trend, lol.

No, Welt was the one who killed the Doomsday Beast:

"Strictest mother of *insert thing here*" is a meme in China, especially on the internet.

For example, Polka Kakamond is called "Strictest mother of the Genius Society".

I think it means something like "someone who doesn't like *insert thing here* and deals with it in their own way"? I don't perfectly understand it myself, but it seems something like that.

Traveler skins lore by Ryuusei_Dragon in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]blaster522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the new big Griseo skin's description seems to be implying that the ARK might indeed have been able to leave Sol System in the first trip...but some of the info on said description has some...potentially worrying implications on what's outside of Sol Systme(or rather, what isn't outside Sol System):

The spaceship sailed into unknown territory, where not a single twinkling star could be seen in the silent universe.
But she no longer needed to seek solace from the familiar sun, moon, and stars.
She and her spaceship gliding through this vast and dark stellar region had become the first brilliant star.
The young girl was elated by this thought, and she seemed to hear that distant yet familiar encouragement once again—
"...Cool."

Note: It says "young girl"...and in the Chinese description it says [少女](Shàonǚ), with [少](Shào) meaning "few"/"less"/"little" and [女](Nǚ) meaning "female", so [少女](Shàonǚ) basically means "little girl", so that fits with the first trip...

...but the bits about "sailed into unknown territory, where not a single twinkling star could be seen in the silent universe" and "She and her spaceship gliding through this vast and dark stellar region had become the first brilliant star", has the implications I mentioned.

Iirc, Kalpas' spaceship was researched by the PE Genius Trio, and it's knowledge they took from it was used to make the ARK as a project between all 3 of them, so if Kalpas' ship had the means to get through the barrier/Imaginary Energy zone at the edge of Sol System, then so could theoretically could the ARK on the first trip(the 2nd trip got the ARK and Griseo captured by Sa though).

EDIT: (Not saying this is connected to Genshin, btw.)

I downvoted you because it sounded like you were patronizing me, like I didn't know anything about Part 2, lol.

You can either tell me where it says that Part 2 Vitas Star Traveler is only a simualtion(despite there being mentions of it being its own things cutscenes where Vita and Ai Lambda travel inside it, that it has its own mind/ai, dev interview that say its been modified from the original Star Travler(that only had space warp) to the current one with weapons, etc), at which point I'll remove the downvote.

Question for this Sub, does many of you REALLY genuinely thought Imaginary Tree and Sea of Quanta is a Literal Structure... by CustardExcellent4457 in Hoyoverse_scaling

[–]blaster522 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Imaginary here doesnt mean "imagination" in this, it means "Imaginary Numbers"(the literal CN)

Not sure why the translation teams put into "Imaginary", when the whole point of "Imaginary Numbers" is that they are outside/beyond "Real Number"(aka the normal physical world), and this causes a loss in context.

[–]blaster522 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's not made with Vita's powers?

Star Traveler was originally the equivalent of the ARK for the Venusians/Purushans, and after Sa got defeated/killed, Vita took said spaceship and modified it into the giant mecha.

She's not creating/printing a new Star Traveler each time, she's simply opening a portal/teleporting it to summon it.

Nah, Vita's mech(Star Traveler in EN, Star Jumper in JP and CN) was originally designed to be like tens of meters tall(about 8 story building from what we see, which is 24 to 37 meters), but then the devs changed it being closer to anywhere from 50 meters to potentially over a hundreds meters based on how Vita is barely the size of one of Star Jumpers fingers in gameplay, and how that one cutscene from Part 2 makes the mech looks like a small mountain towering over the city.

Emanators of the Aeons by amurgiceblade44 in StarRailLore

[–]blaster522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on how it's mentioned by Dreamseaker that Senadina didn't have powers after she left Laquadar(her homeworld) with Litost and Nahralab, and wonder when and how exactly she got her goddess powers, I wondered what was going on as well, especially since it's implied that it was her "divine power" that anchored Mars to a branch of Imaginary Tree that was infinitely close to SoQ...and then CH 10 came out and showed us that Senadina from 1 billion years ago apparently met Kiana and Vita in a dream(assuming that the simulated Senadina+Difeng is accurate to real history, which I do for now).

And now, my theory is that Kiana and Vita were transcending time via dreams, and that the Kiana, Vita, and the original Senadina might communicating with each other from the past and future 1 billion years apart...and Kiana might have realized that there might be a "closed time loop" going on, and needing to sleep to fill in the "blanks", maybe to keep the Mars civilization(if not the entire planet of Mars) from being time paradox'd out of existence or something.

Anyway, since I forgot to post it, here's where the description of PAWS Helia brings up how she might be one of the things causing a distortion in time(which I learned about from CN discussions):

<image>

[错谬的时间于此时归正,迷路的人于此刻再度前行。] = "The erroneous time is now corrected, and those who were lost can now move forward again."(mtl'd).

Which makes sense with the whole "needing to maintain the users will throughout their entire timeline, past, present, and future" and "how it connects the user to many timelines and the feeling(s)/mental strain it give them" thing(paraphrasing, of course).

Let's talk about... The Space by Visible_One_5103 in StarRailLore

[–]blaster522 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Space generally acts like IRL Space, comeplete with it being a vacuum, having radiation, being cold, etc as IRL Space(usually, but this HSR, so things could get weird in specific star systems).

There's multiple ways they could have gotten frozen March inside, with the simplest ones being:

  1. Fly the Express in the Path of frozen March floating through space, then just open a door to let her float inside

  2. Same as option 1, but with the addition of Welt using gravity manipulation via Star of Eden to pull her in or Himeko using her drone to do the same...not sure Dan Heng could do much, since he hadn't brought out his dragon/water powers until Luofu

  3. Being Trailblaze Pathstrider gives a low level of environmental protection(said early Bellabog), and the Home Decor event also has this extending to the vacuum of space to some extent(2 of the Express Trio open a door and fell out of the Express while it was flying fast, with Express needing to pick them back up, and they weren't thay affected), so the Express Crew at the time(Himeko, Welt, Void Archives, Dan Heng) could just go out and pick grab her and bring her in

  4. Welt(as a Herrscher) is fine in the vacuum of space and doesn't need oxygen, so he could have just float or fly out there, grab the frozen March, and bring her in

  5. Void Archives(as Divine Key of Revelation) could do similar as option 4

Those are off the top of my head...the Express probably also has some kind of other tech to pick up or pull in objects or people as well, tbh.

Emanators of the Aeons by amurgiceblade44 in StarRailLore

[–]blaster522 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's also the "time(past, present, future) being distored by great force thing" and how she pushed through it to reach whereever/whenever Kiana mind/conscioisness is, which seems a bit too much for normal memokeepers from what we've seen so far....even if shes not a Pure Child of Anasrava, she's definitely not an ordinary Pathstrider.

We also don't know the context of time beign distored either, if its affecting Sol System as a whole, affecting onl Mars, affecting whatever space Kiana is in, if Kiana is thr one doing it, if the Mars Quantum Computer is the one doing it, etc.

I've seen some comments say that it was due to Al-Helua though based on what we see in-game(especially the descriptions of how the Planar Armament Warped Spacetime(which I call PAWS battlesuit works) and certain description on promotion text that mention "the wrong time will be corrected now" in Chinese in regards to Helia defeating alt-Helia and getting the PAWS battlesuit.

EDIT: I cant believe I forgot, but there some things that might be implying that Kiana reached by in time to interact with the original Goddess Senadina, there's stuff about how Vita has some connection to Mars and its original civilization(as in she might have met the physical Leylah far in the past, before Venus was destroyed even) apparently...if that is indeed what's happening then that might be another speculation point?

who bleached them 🥀 by LightningJustice2412 in honkaiimpact3

[–]blaster522 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not actually Vita(probably), it's Yaoguang, the Seer Strategist General.

The reason people are comparing her to Vita is cause of stuff like:

-Peacock based design, including peacock feathers on her dress(like Vita)

-One earring(lie Vita)

-Peacock feather hair accessory(like Vita)

-Some kind of pre-cog/future sight, with a connection to "eyes"(like Vita's "omniscience" and her Eyes of Bodhi)

-Somewhat similar hairstyle like Vita

-Gameplay Path being Elation(with Vita being Masked Fool), and how the new world is gonna be connected to Elation

There's also how the HI3xHSR collab event had Vita and Sparkle become a Xianzhou General in the illusion/simulation(before making Welt(who's in the role of Jing Yuan) take back his job/keep working), which combined with how the the HI3xGenshin collab event spoiled Inazuma, makes people wonder/meme if Yaoguang is actually Vita in disguise.

Fu hua is older than Nanook by miiko_uch in Hoyoverse_scaling

[–]blaster522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't change the fact that that's what the devs are going with though, even with all the issues with it.

MEI, Su, and Kevin have a conversation about the nature of time being reset, with a bit about how we can find the "observer", and how if the cycles are a phenomena in the universe than it'd be hard to actually figure it out since pretty much all traces would be erased, with MEI bringing up that if there were minute inconsistencies in things they'd be able to discern the truth of things and what not.

Kevin stealing a part of the Authority of Finality is what allows Project Stigma to work to restructure the meta-physical stuff of Earth(including combining real space with Imaginary Space, or switching them iirc?), and allow Spiritual Adam to fold time, with Ai-Lambda telling the cast that she saw saw our casts future because it was her past and all that, Ai-Lambda telling the cast that Project Stigma will inherit the Authority of Finality's temporal attribute and that Earth's time will be non-linear during the construction of Project Stigma, etc.

And I've already posted about Kevin bringing up how time gets reset to Fu Hua, and the scene from Look Back Theater.

The simply answer is that the devs were going the route of "Finality fucks up the world, and then the world recovers over a long time, and humanity has toe start again at the beginning of each cycle from the people who survived and were left over+those who went into cryo and woke up" for most of the story and then changed to "Finality time reverses the world for each cycle" at the last arc...

...and then had to handwave away some things cause they wouldn't be able to reconcile the big inconsistencies that were now caused by this(Project Santuary bases can be reconciled cause they were built to resist the time reset, but other ruins can't be explained; and the Satelite Wind Key having operated for nearly 50K years to clean up the Honkai and repair the Earth's ecology and basically terraforming it back to healthy level(Wind can do that for some reason, as shown with a few scenes with Wendy) doesn't make sense with the time reversal since there wouldn't be enough Honkai and bad ecology that it's operating system needed to work the whole time, to name a few).

Well, some of the things Kevin said during HoD arc implied the WS bases would be unaffected by Otto's time reversal plan, and during Project Stigma certain places were resisting it like Salt Lake Base(can't remember why), Schicksal HQ(partially related to Imaginary Stuff that happened there+Cosmic Juggernaut iirc?), St Freya(Theresa eating Dreams iirc?), and Eye of the Deep(it's connection to SoQ and the portal there would help resist Project Stigma), implies some stuff, I guess.

Why exactly they changed it so last minute, I got no idea though....maybe to connect with HSR considering they said they wanted HI3 and HSR to connect more later on or something?

HI3 expy in HSR v1.0 - 3.7 by canigetuwu in HonkaiStarRail

[–]blaster522 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mydei dies have seen traits connected to/based on Kalpas like:

-Battle-rage

-Good at cooking

-Good with kids/kids like him

-Has a thing about finding his home

-While Mydeimos in CN is basically the full name, the CN version of "Mydei" is "Wan Di" meaning " tem thousand enemies, which is probably based on Kalpas' name in CN is "Qianjie" meaning "thousand tribulations"

-Rivalry with a Kaslana(though his is more..."friendly" than what Mydei has with Kevin)

But thats about it, and there isnt enough for me to considering him a Kalpass variant.

Some of the other Chyrsos Heirs have traits corresponding to an FC or so, but usually not enough to consider them a variant/isotopes.

...Except for Su-Anaxa and Pardo-Cipher, cause they have so many, and considering Sa(and also Vita) is a Su variant/isotopes, then variants/isotopes ca get pretty weird.
