For those who don’t have all the context. Edit: I’ve compiled a playlist for those who don’t play Honkai Impact 3rd and want to see all the cinematics and story explained. ruclips.net/p/PL3mYfhC4jQAn-cnk8-01utFPN4ss7G7pQ So in this world, Valkyries take on some of the Honkai (invading aliens) cells to give them super powers to fight off the Honkai. The problem is that the Honkai cells are toxic and the longer and more you use them, the more they destroy your body. Himeko (red head) is a mentor figure in this story (think Kikashi to Naruto) and has been a Valkyrie for a long time and she’s due for “retirement”, in which she is suppose to take a serum which will eject the Honkai cells from her body. This will save her life, but it will rob her of her fighting power. Kiana (the white haired girl), a student of Himeko’s and the game’s protagonist, is being controlled by a strain of “God Honkai” cells named Sirin. Sirin is controlling Kiana and is wrecking havoc on the world alongside her dragon minion. So in this moment of dire need, Himeko forgoes her “retirement” in an effort to save her student. She actually dons a prototype suit which will actually amplify her Honkai cells even further and kill her even more rapidly. In the end of this suicide mission to save her student, Himeko ejects Kiana with her own “retirement” serum to eject Sirin from Kiana’s body, thus hopefully freeing the young girl the Honkai God’s control. Ultimately this causes Himeko to burn through her body and she dies right at the moment she was suppose to be freed from the fighting and death. I wrote all of this out because the context makes this beautiful video even more amazing and I hope I was able to clarify any questions and shed some light on the context.
@@shia842 The animation is very solid and is accessible to F2P players. The game is pretty F2P friendly if you're okay without having every character you want. The story is pretty solid and the cinematics are amzing
You know what hurts the most in this part? Its the fact that the Serum was supposed to be for Himeko (redhead, for the people who dont know the context), to cure herself of the Honkai that's eating away at her life. But, she used it on Kiana instead to save her. She literally sacrificed her own life to save her student. It hurts man, and the fact that at this point of the story she's the only one that can stand up to the Herrscher. EDIT: To add more context how powerful this impacted me as a player of this game, Himeko was one of my least favorite chars in the game. Then I played as her in the game, experienced her story, then this happened... She shot up as probably top 3 favorite now In-game. That's how good the writing this game has. Do yourself a favor, play it yourself and experience it. These shorts have way more impact with context.
I can relate to that, it's a very neatly written story. It reminds me of all the premises all over the past story as well, and makes it feel all right to have the... What is it again? A border? To separate this ending with the other story.
I have Murata Himeko-Blood rose one and i hated the fact that She LITERALLY die and burn herself to death in the game than being useful killing mobs heh....After this SHE IS DEFINETLY one of my favorites (Now obiously 1st spot is Herrscher of Sentience) so i wish i could get her version Vermillion Knight (From this vid) just to use her and She'll be in the team never changed for anyone else
@@amrok.3351 bro you don't know how to properly use her ult, pair her with sutr and time the burst right then you get the Pyro archon. Oh also the wedding dress, she stands proud, beautiful as ever whenever Heimdall pop up in abyss
Before i really didn’t like her she attacked kinda slow and her evade was kinda weird but then i grew to love her Also i couldn’t stand her grunting it hurt my insides it sounded like so much pain
@@johanseongslonglosteyesigh7926 the only same person from hi3 to star rail is welt, the entire reason of him there is to prevent the same tragedy happen to himeko in star rail as he regretted that he cant save his pupil (himeko) on his world
After seeing Kiana’s new Flamescion, I’ve come back to remember a great warrior, teacher, and most of all, a great woman. If this is truly the final nail on the coffin, Rest In Peace Major Murata Himeko, we captains will continue to make sure this dark world has a brighter future each day that comes!
We'll see how the rest will unveil, but so far she DOES feel like a character who could die She has that mentor figure. Yet, she is pretty absent from the story and side story, contrary to Welt. And aside from that side mission where you can text her or or Welt, she is pretty absent from the main storyline She could really be killed somewhere in the future. And as much as I don't want another Final Lesson, Final Lesson is what made me fall in love with HI3
4:40 if you pay attention in honkai star rail, you can see that Himeko’s broken sword is exposed in the storage room of Herta’s Spaceship alongside the planer from Genshin and Vyn’s card pyramid in tears of Themis, however Himeko’s sword was by far the cruelest Easter egg they could’ve had done 🥲
if you pick himeko and inspect the sword fragments the game says -You closely examine these fragments. A gust of heat suddenly arrives thorugh the air. It Touches your cheeks and pauses next to your ear. -you hear someone sobbing, someone yelling, and someone mourning wordlessly. Finally, someone whispers... _She was reborn in the fire. She was smiliing in the fire.
@@Rancidmayo hum.... yeah but... it's true [=_=]' it's not like it's the real story. it's like talk about the fate kaleid and all the other's Fate series, they use related character but it's not the same for me. Sorry if i have some trouble for explain myself ^^'.
1 single character's death, can give a significant impact to the story, even after 3 years. And in the same time, it develop every single characters in the story, both directly and indirectly. That..... That's how you kill your characters right in a fiction story
And it was all planned by otto,my favorite villain and not like those naruto villains where all you need is the power of friendship and talk no jutsu, can't believe that everything that happened and i mean everything was planned by otto,i still want to kill him tho
hearing the line "reach the end of your story in your own way" in honkai star rail really shocked me, i just had to come back here. and shed a tear once again.
"In a lot of stories, the hero chooses to sacrifice himself, and thanks to his sacrifice, the good guys win and the survivors all cheer. But the hero... Never gets to see that ending. He never knows if his sacrifice meant anything. Sometimes, you just need to have faith." -Leonard Church (Epsilon)
What's even more sad in this cinematic is Himeko's body is in complete physical pain. With the Godslayer battlesuit ruined, wielding Surtr (Himeko's sword) is actually burning her from the inside out. Paired that with her advanced stage of Honkai Zombification and the intense physical strain, Himeko is just moving out of sheer willpower to save Kiana. Those 4 flame jets that jut out of her back as she deliver her final attack was the Godslayer completely incinerating her. She was NOT coming out of that battle, win or lose, alive.
@@shenhe7599 The devil's in the details. That's just a summary of it. It's more painful when you read up on the lore of what she had been going through. Like I said, Himeko wasn't coming out of it alive. It's already a miracle even for a Valkyrie to go through in Himeko's state after tanking Sirin's barrage, and still fight in full strength.
That’s why it’s so emotional too, the desire to save Kiana was what kept her moving... she started the fight not even knowing if she would reach her goal, for all she knew she could’ve died mid battle.... Himeko was so strong... mentally and physically, her sacrifice will never be forgotten!
@@jack-exzolt9858 She knew that, not matter how, all that she needed to do is to use that seringe in her and hers pupil will be safe again. And that she could never accept defeat before that. Whatever it takes.
That scream in 3:58, man. You can hear the desperation in her voice and her hope for Kiana. She's also in massive pain while fighting her. What a strong woman himeko is
@@BabyylonTrack and Himeko used the serum on Kiana instead of herself proves that she is selfless and Otto only died because of his obession over Kallen
vaccinate your kids so that Himeko won't have to die vaccinating them for you. Edit: So I got an anti-rabies vaccine shot yesterday cuz I got bitten by a stray dog and while waiting for the shot I remembered this comment of mine about vaccines and himeko, so I proceeded to watch the vid while getting the shot and I started tearing up. I don't know if it's because of himeko or the vaccine but nonetheless I cried just a little bit.
I still come back to this from time to time. To remember how great Himeko is. Kiana, Mei and Bronya may be herreschers, Durandal, Kallen and Cecilia may be classified as the strongest valkyries, but to me, none compares to Major Murata Himeko.
@@Kishisuke Oh I know. I'm looking forward to it too. Vanessa from Monstadt was supposedly a Muratan as well, iirc. Wouldn't be surprised if Murata was just Himeko herself
@@araaraoni I would be surprised. It’s a whole other world Dude. She wouldn’t be able to fight off other gods in archon war.... Since they nuked countries with blows and Made mountains.
@@JJ-qv8ol I mean if she was an Archon, it'd stand to reason she'd get a power up fitting the world. I can't wait to get to the Fire Archon in any case, debunked theory or not
i didnt really give himeko much attention, i just liked playing using her battlesuit sometimes and laugh around at her conversations with Kiana, but i got spoilers about this, i cant stop crying now im now gonna use himeko's battlesuit alot
Knowing he is the same Welt as HI3 who feels guilty for her death , he will make it sure it doesn't happen for the second time even if she is not the Himeko we knew, she is still Himeko
Genshin impact players: mihoyo would never kill off a character Honkai player's: *so who's gonna tell them* edit: i should've mentioned this in my comment six months back but i meant playable characters i know signora died but she isn't playable so she doesn't count on the list 🤷♀
4:52 After rewatching this for a few times I finally noticed this little detail. The corners of Himeko's lips turned up into a faint smile as she got blasted away by HoV, because she knew she had won. Even if she was dying, she managed to successfully inject the anti Honkai serum into Kiana and stop HoV, that's why that one last smile appeared on her lips.
That's the hole schtick of the unit she was on. Direct confrontation with overwhelming force to break the enemy line. It's extremely demoralizing to the receiving end and it shows here.
She does the same thing to Herrscher of Thunder in the manga - Theresa rats her out about it later because she was using a prototype battlesuit. …Wait. Prototype battlesuit…
Yep that is the schtick of her unit and she was using sheer will to move, any extra movements would have been hard and made things worse anyways. She was already dying using every ounce of her will to survive and save Kiana.
@@KadaEklund no, acheron is raiden but mavuika is not himeko, himeko was the first pyro archon which has died a long time ago and mavuika is the second one
“Hey aunt himeko... if I ever get affected by this “Honkai corruption” thing....and someone has to kill me to end it... I want you to be the one to do it” That line hit me in the feels in the new chapter
@@Shadow82311 No! Only a rumor. The thing is himeko is dying due to the side effect of the implantation of artificial stigmata even before the final lesson.
You get used to it. I'm very close to my 500th day online, this game never ceases to make the players sad from chapter 9 on. I guess they don't want happy players 🤷🏻♂️
Welt Yang "She's...Extremely passionate,Like a burning sun. However,she remains mysterious most of the time. Once in a while, you feel that she's burning herself out trying to accomplish her dreams."
I don't think there's enough appreciation for the animation in this short production. It's probably the first time I've seen anime-stylized CG animation this phenomenal and smooth before. Outside of really big budget FF movies and the like. Great job to the animation team behind this.
Oh i can feel it from a mile away. The only question is who? Gonna be from knights of favonius no doubt (or anyone from mondstadt) but if it's Lisa i'm burning mihoyo down.
After watching and crying at this animation for 100th, I just realized how powerful himeko was. At 2:17 her greatsword was sent into the void but it cut through and pierced back into the world. Imagine your weapon is so fast, it can escape the void even though it's impossible. And at 4:05 she was in the void but she burn the void and explode it. This is why himeko has a special in my heart
I hate myself for not playing this 2 years ago. Thank you miHoYo for creating a game with a very loveable and well developed characters and on top of that a great story.
@MHA Hanzo ikr the story is just way too good for a mobile game. I did not expect such a thing. Honestly I did not expect myself to show many emotions during playing this game. Its such a ride and I never regreted every single moment.
I am absolutely dreading the moment Himeko goes with us into a planet in HSR (Like Welt is doing rn in the Luofu). Last time we played as Himeko in the HI3 story, it ended up with this cutscene.
One thing I love about this animations current in-game audio, is that when Kiana is injected with the serum, you can hear both Kiana and Sirin scream in agony as the Honkai cells are rejected from their body. Kiana's voice slowly creeps in after Sirin's, and you can hear everything. The hate, the regret, the sadness, the pain. Everything.
Dude!!! I am watching this animation and played it!!! And now your telling me this!!! I am already dead! Like I want to hug Kiana for her suffering but now this !!!! I am really crying while punching a cement truck to smitherins!!!
Chapter 9 is where honkai impact really hits the heart for a new player like me. This was so devastating and at the same time the animations did justice to her. Farewell Himeko 😢
Damn right. Man during CH 7 to ch 9 i was forced to use Himeko and it pissed me off so much. Furthermore I was already spoiled her death so i was like lol I don't even care. Then CH 9 came and slowly I began to really appreciate Himeko even got used to her fighting style and fought without getting touched once. Then finally this fucking last scene. I knew it was coming but damn. I rewarched it two times then came here just to see comments.
This armor is actually a Divine Key made using the power of the previous Herrscher of the Void from 50 thousand years ago, using the control of imaginary space to force open the energy conduit between imaginary space and herrscher cores that normally only a real herrscher can access, and reaching power output that you can't reach normally by using a core as an external weapon. It basically turns you into a god for about 200 seconds the first time you use it, but the time limit is worse each time (down to 5 seconds by the third attempt for the original creator of the armor) as the burden of that energy keeps bringing you to the brink of death. And Himeko was already dying before this.
@@mlordwhiteslayerfromf.u.g the visual aspectof the scene is of a decent quality, but the plot, and design of these scenes are quite mediocre trope and very expected even if you don t know shit about the story Hoyoverse needs actual writters, especially seinen or older since they want to touch mature stuff... But want to sell for the kids
Just to reiterate how great of a sacrifice Himeko made, in the manga, the serum she injected Kiana with was made by Dr. Magi, a Schicksal defector attempting to save young Valkyries from dying of the Honkai infection. Dr. Magi gave it to Fu Hua to help Kiana after she stopped the eruption in Singapore, and Fu Hua meant to give it to Himeko instead knowing that K-423 was a fake. In another chapter, Otto explains that this serum is made with the antibodies of a thousand Honkai victims. Himeko was given the chance to live a normal life as a civilian again with this one in a thousand cure all, *but she gave it to Kiana instead.* Kiana’s life was paid for by the lives of a THOUSAND PEOPLE. Himeko is the best and most tragic written character i’ve ever seen.
Himeko is the best, but I think part of the reason she goes so far to save Kiana, is that she can tell Kiana is basically "the one." She believes Kiana is the one who will save the world, so she can't afford to let her die. And it's not just Himeko who thinks that way. In chapter 17 Mei literally says Kiana will become the hero and save the world. She even says the world itself wants Kiana to be the hero.
What u said is mostly write but dr.magi used that serum on kiana then kiana asked dr.magi about that serum and then asked dr.magi to give her some of that serum for her instructor (himeko) and Dr magi gave that serum for both kiana and himeko fu hua saved that for himeko and maybe gave kiana too
What i meant was that u said "fu hua meant to give it to himkeo instead knowing that K423 was a fake" but I think dr.magi gave enough serum for both of them
@@ok-gn4rx Both could have happened tbh. We see Fu Hua attempt to stop Himeko due to K423 being a fake but there was nothing stating that the serum could he used for 2 people. If that was the case Himeko wouldn’t have died. But who knows
They’re not “some mobile game company” lmao, they have they’re own music production team, character Design team, the company literally had the budget to hire voice actors from well known anime’s to voice characters, they have merch, and most of all, they have the best quality mobile game EVER
That Otto block-head wanted her friends to die at the hands of Sirin, especially Theresa, who would allow Kiana to control Herrscher and resurrect Kallen. If it hadn't been for Himeko with the anti-Honkai serum to stop her, they would all have died. And his plan would have succeeded.
>Saw this video pops up in my recommendation last month. >Have zero context >Animation is great but what's behind the story? >Hmm >What is this honkai impact? >Download and played it for 1 month straight >Watched this again >Cried like a baby
On one hand - HImeko must be protected. On the other hand, I wouldn't put it past Hoyo to pull a switcheroo on us and kill Kafka instead (and for me, she's also a very dear person to our Trailblazer),
The mere fact that Himeko survived that first attack cycle from HoV shows how strong Himeko actually is compared to all the other Valks. There's no way any old Valk would have survived that unless they were strong enough defense wise to come out of that in one piece.
Chapter Nine was where it really hit players that this was not some fun joy ride where a teenager and her girlfriend and an emotionless third wheel save the world together. This was real. The developers weren't afraid to kill characters for the sake of character development. Chapter Nine was the end of Honkai Impact 3rd, and the beginning of Depression Impact 103rd.
She is still standing on my bridge, she is still calling me "captain", she is still requesting me to hand over my new equipments, she is still asking me for a date .
The part when the lyrics begin and Himeko going into overdrive mode, it kills me everytime, and I guarantee I've seen this 20+ times. All that raw power and unbridled emotion and determination...she had every means to absolutely destroy the Herrscher. Yet she didn't even leave a scratch. She unleashed her might just to get close enough to administer the serum, in hopes that it would save Kiana. Himeko knew it would destroy her, yet she still made the sacrifice. Seeing that extremely faint smile, knowing she succeeded..destroyed me emotionally. This whole scene was one of the most powerful experiences I've ever been through in a video game. It was emotional, beautiful, tragic...'Never let you go.'

I’m still waiting and hoping that MHY would create a “last battle” skin for VK. I really like Himeko’s hair after taking and surviving those attacks, and the damaged battlesuit would look badass af in gameplay! When I played this story quest I didn’t expect this at all. I literally had to hid my face when because I was in the living room with my families and I almost cried like a baby.
I came to honkai from genshin and ended up getting spoilers for this, But promised to myself I'd like to experience it for the first time in-game, and When I saw this for the first time, I had to hold back tears and keep from crying. Himeko hadn't been my favorite character, but after I saw this with the music, I was so sad and immediately took back that I "hadn't liked her" god, I love this animation so much, and can't wait to see what else happens in the story. Even though I love genshin, I couldn't be more glad I started honkai. This animation is nothing short of a masterpiece. -Celeste
Welcome to honkai over there we have depressed veteran captains and over there we have depressed noobie captains basically we have depressed captains everywhere in the community especially in everlasting flames and final lesson
@ HSR players who see Welt, Trailblazer, Dan Heng and March 7th with Imaginary forms (default for Welt) and want one for Himeko as well: *_Are you sure about that?_*
Comeback from new trailer CG for act 25, Himeko : "It's my turn now.. i hope you don't mind girl." Kiana : "My turn now. Hope you're fine with that!" Make me sobs harder
She went much beyond what her body could handle with Houkai energy to survive that (that's why the glowing cracks on her face). She knew she was dead then (She would eventually turn into a Zombie if she didn't end her life... Similar to the human like enemies that you face ... Which, as a Valkyrie is much worse than dying) So did the best thing she could. P.S: I have been playing Houkai since 2016 in the Japanese server but lost my old account so had to make a new one. Just imagining I have to go through this again is traumatic.

So in this world, Valkyries take on some of the Honkai (invading aliens) cells to give them super powers to fight off the Honkai.
The problem is that the Honkai cells are toxic and the longer and more you use them, the more they destroy your body.
Himeko (red head) is a mentor figure in this story (think Kikashi to Naruto) and has been a Valkyrie for a long time and she’s due for “retirement”, in which she is suppose to take a serum which will eject the Honkai cells from her body. This will save her life, but it will rob her of her fighting power.
Kiana (the white haired girl), a student of Himeko’s and the game’s protagonist, is being controlled by a strain of “God Honkai” cells named Sirin. Sirin is controlling Kiana and is wrecking havoc on the world alongside her dragon minion.
So in this moment of dire need, Himeko forgoes her “retirement” in an effort to save her student. She actually dons a prototype suit which will actually amplify her Honkai cells even further and kill her even more rapidly.
In the end of this suicide mission to save her student, Himeko ejects Kiana with her own “retirement” serum to eject Sirin from Kiana’s body, thus hopefully freeing the young girl the Honkai God’s control.
Ultimately this causes Himeko to burn through her body and she dies right at the moment she was suppose to be freed from the fighting and death.
I wrote all of this out because the context makes this beautiful video even more amazing and I hope I was able to clarify any questions and shed some light on the context.

She has that mentor figure. Yet, she is pretty absent from the story and side story, contrary to Welt. And aside from that side mission where you can text her or or Welt, she is pretty absent from the main storyline
She could really be killed somewhere in the future. And as much as I don't want another Final Lesson, Final Lesson is what made me fall in love with HI3

-You closely examine these fragments. A gust of heat suddenly arrives thorugh the air. It Touches your cheeks and pauses next to your ear.

With the Godslayer battlesuit ruined, wielding Surtr (Himeko's sword) is actually burning her from the inside out. Paired that with her advanced stage of Honkai Zombification and the intense physical strain, Himeko is just moving out of sheer willpower to save Kiana. Those 4 flame jets that jut out of her back as she deliver her final attack was the Godslayer completely incinerating her.

Like I said, Himeko wasn't coming out of it alive. It's already a miracle even for a Valkyrie to go through in Himeko's state after tanking Sirin's barrage, and still fight in full strength.
That’s why it’s so emotional too, the desire to save Kiana was what kept her moving... she started the fight not even knowing if she would reach her goal, for all she knew she could’ve died mid battle.... Himeko was so strong... mentally and physically, her sacrifice will never be forgotten!

That's the hole schtick of the unit she was on. Direct confrontation with overwhelming force to break the enemy line. It's extremely demoralizing to the receiving end and it shows here.
She does the same thing to Herrscher of Thunder in the manga - Theresa rats her out about it later because she was using a prototype battlesuit.
…Wait. Prototype battlesuit…

Yep that is the schtick of her unit and she was using sheer will to move, any extra movements would have been hard and made things worse anyways. She was already dying using every ounce of her will to survive and save Kiana.

One thing I love about this animations current in-game audio, is that when Kiana is injected with the serum, you can hear both Kiana and Sirin scream in agony as the Honkai cells are rejected from their body. Kiana's voice slowly creeps in after Sirin's, and you can hear everything. The hate, the regret, the sadness, the pain. Everything.
the ingame version just makes you realize kiana was conscious this whole time. watching all the pain and suffering her herrscher ego is causing.

R.I.P. Himeko, the Might Guy of the Honkai series. Challenging Gods and actually putting up a good fight.
You will be missed, Major. 😭
This armor is actually a Divine Key made using the power of the previous Herrscher of the Void from 50 thousand years ago, using the control of imaginary space to force open the energy conduit between imaginary space and herrscher cores that normally only a real herrscher can access, and reaching power output that you can't reach normally by using a core as an external weapon.
It basically turns you into a god for about 200 seconds the first time you use it, but the time limit is worse each time (down to 5 seconds by the third attempt for the original creator of the armor) as the burden of that energy keeps bringing you to the brink of death. And Himeko was already dying before this.

Dr. Magi gave it to Fu Hua to help Kiana after she stopped the eruption in Singapore, and Fu Hua meant to give it to Himeko instead knowing that K-423 was a fake.
In another chapter, Otto explains that this serum is made with the antibodies of a thousand Honkai victims. Himeko was given the chance to live a normal life as a civilian again with this one in a thousand cure all, *but she gave it to Kiana instead.* Kiana’s life was paid for by the lives of a THOUSAND PEOPLE. Himeko is the best and most tragic written character i’ve ever seen.
Himeko is the best, but I think part of the reason she goes so far to save Kiana, is that she can tell Kiana is basically "the one." She believes Kiana is the one who will save the world, so she can't afford to let her die.
And it's not just Himeko who thinks that way. In chapter 17 Mei literally says Kiana will become the hero and save the world. She even says the world itself wants Kiana to be the hero.
What u said is mostly write but dr.magi used that serum on kiana then kiana asked dr.magi about that serum and then asked dr.magi to give her some of that serum for her instructor (himeko) and Dr magi gave that serum for both kiana and himeko fu hua saved that for himeko and maybe gave kiana too
@@ok-gn4rx Magi’s serum is the same thing that was given to HoV. Also please use punctuation I had a stroke reading that lol
What i meant was that u said "fu hua meant to give it to himkeo instead knowing that K423 was a fake" but I think dr.magi gave enough serum for both of them
@@ok-gn4rx Both could have happened tbh. We see Fu Hua attempt to stop Himeko due to K423 being a fake but there was nothing stating that the serum could he used for 2 people. If that was the case Himeko wouldn’t have died. But who knows
[2024] once a year .. I'll be here to pay respect to Himeko ..
Same

me too

Everyone: 3D animation sucks
Some mobile game company: hold my beer
tbf tho they aren't really random anymore lol
If done correctly, the 3d is 10x better than 2d
They’re not “some mobile game company” lmao, they have they’re own music production team, character Design team, the company literally had the budget to hire voice actors from well known anime’s to voice characters, they have merch, and most of all, they have the best quality mobile game EVER
Joey C you clearly didn’t get the joke
@@noivern4346 I thought jokes were supposed to be funny luv
Happy Birthday Himeko, please come home, everyone misses you
and I'm crying again
Aren't we all...
That Otto block-head wanted her friends to die at the hands of Sirin, especially Theresa, who would allow Kiana to control Herrscher and resurrect Kallen. If it hadn't been for Himeko with the anti-Honkai serum to stop her, they would all have died. And his plan would have succeeded.

You guys enjoy your new "Himeko" in Star Rail. Im just gonna prepare myself early.
Same here
I’m prepared i swear if she leaves her ship and dies or gets ambushed imma cry
Yup. Same here. I don't trust Mihoyo one bit.
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they brought back a character from Impact 3rd just to kill them off... Hopefully it won't be Welt, lol
On one hand - HImeko must be protected. On the other hand, I wouldn't put it past Hoyo to pull a switcheroo on us and kill Kafka instead (and for me, she's also a very dear person to our Trailblazer),
The mere fact that Himeko survived that first attack cycle from HoV shows how strong Himeko actually is compared to all the other Valks. There's no way any old Valk would have survived that unless they were strong enough defense wise to come out of that in one piece.
Vermilion Knight is a Herscher Core battlesuit, with a bit of Herscher of Flames Power.
Chapter Nine was where it really hit players that this was not some fun joy ride where a teenager and her girlfriend and an emotionless third wheel save the world together. This was real. The developers weren't afraid to kill characters for the sake of character development.
Chapter Nine was the end of Honkai Impact 3rd, and the beginning of Depression Impact 103rd.
I was near crying but your description if the main trio omg it gave me a great laugh thanks man
Damn. Well said
Ain't that the truth
Meanwhile in cooking with valkiries :
Himeko saved kiana from splash of very hot oil and is now in hospital
LMAO
small and compressed version of this cut scene…
PLS-
Im crying from this video again but im having mixed feelings reading this
who's here after the 5.1 genshin livestream? I hope they won't give Mavuika this depressing treatment...fly high Himeko
i already see the edits before my eyes
MCU: Iron man made the greatest sacrifice in Endgame
Himeko: how cute
Couldn't Agree More.

She is still standing on my bridge,
she is still calling me "captain",
she is still requesting me to hand over my new equipments,
she is still asking me for a date .
Yet why does it hurt in my chest?
@@Karuisdead You can't lie to yourself....
Noo... Ur making me cry... T_T
the attack at 4:20 didn't bring flames to Kiana, it brought light. amazing detail I didn't understand when i first saw this
The part when the lyrics begin and Himeko going into overdrive mode, it kills me everytime, and I guarantee I've seen this 20+ times. All that raw power and unbridled emotion and determination...she had every means to absolutely destroy the Herrscher. Yet she didn't even leave a scratch. She unleashed her might just to get close enough to administer the serum, in hopes that it would save Kiana. Himeko knew it would destroy her, yet she still made the sacrifice.
Seeing that extremely faint smile, knowing she succeeded..destroyed me emotionally. This whole scene was one of the most powerful experiences I've ever been through in a video game. It was emotional, beautiful, tragic...'Never let you go.'
It gets me every time:(
Here have a tissue for your tears
*Gives a box if tissues*
@@aynat3068 I need one too, please

See. Fightin against ranged enemies with melee valks is that hard
When Kiana said.
“I’m definitely gonna be the bestest Valkyrie, Aunt Himeko!
I was like.
💔😢
I subbed to everyone Aunt lol fkin rubbish translation.
Same here :(
I'm gonna name my daughter himeko in honor of her.
That hit hard
I cry of that scene too when everyone popping up calling himeko and song started. 😭😭😭😭😭
Himeko just hit the HoV so hard she popped into genshin impact....
I will just go with that.
Lol XD

Wait until 5.1
@@panda-dn2cc She's definitely gonna get the Himeko treatment after seeing the 5.1 trailer
*I bet my life that 99% of everyone cried when they watched this. Himeko was the best girl we got, not only because of her strength and leadership, but her will to never give up on the ones she loved...*
_Never give up guys, that’s what Himeko would have done..._
I didn't cry but I did get mad goosebumps
your right
My tears dried up long ago
I guess that I’m part of that 1%
I didn't cry, even though the scene caught me off guard (Doesn't help that Nightglow's the most played song on my Spotify playlist, lol)
Mihoyo really knows how to make the most unused valk become usable and OP
Bronya is my most unused. Atleast ice himeko was pretty strong. Till they introduced this new OP battle suit lol
ZIbusiso Nkomo bronya is the most unused?.....boi how wrong that statement was if you reach end game
@@mab3667 hahaha ever since I got Rita she has become number one cause there is very little she cannot beat and I can't win with her usually the others won't fair Better. But that's also cause I have spent so much effort on her
I am sorry but WHAT??????. Chariot is the best F2P valk at shield break in Memorial Area, Dimension Break switch skill, Snowy Sniper ultimate, Chariot ultimate is the best at crowd control. Not mention the princess ' Black Nucleus ' and DK melee shield. How the hell Bronya is unused?
ZIbusiso Nkomo a lotta ppl are gonna drop rita as soon as seele comes back
I’m still waiting and hoping that MHY would create a “last battle” skin for VK. I really like Himeko’s hair after taking and surviving those attacks, and the damaged battlesuit would look badass af in gameplay!
When I played this story quest I didn’t expect this at all. I literally had to hid my face when because I was in the living room with my families and I almost cried like a baby.
This is why I watch it in my room along with everlasting flames and shattered samusara
This is still so sad even 4 years later..
That little smile at 4:52 gets me every time. She knew it was all worth it because she accomplished her mission.
oh my god i didn’t even notice that- rest in peace himeko you saved the tuna 😭
Himeko:Got you sucker
@@SamuelSunaring STOP NOW IM LAUGHING AND CRYING AT THE SAME TIME
I came to honkai from genshin and ended up getting spoilers for this, But promised to myself I'd like to experience it for the first time in-game, and When I saw this for the first time, I had to hold back tears and keep from crying.
Himeko hadn't been my favorite character, but after I saw this with the music, I was so sad and immediately took back that I "hadn't liked her" god, I love this animation so much, and can't wait to see what else happens in the story.
Even though I love genshin, I couldn't be more glad I started honkai. This animation is nothing short of a masterpiece.

Welcome to honkai over there we have depressed veteran captains and over there we have depressed noobie captains basically we have depressed captains everywhere in the community especially in everlasting flames and final lesson
I was just beating up zombies on a fighter jet.
How did we get here?
Just follow the story, you will understand it.
I know how the story goes guys, I just think it’s amazing how far we’ve gone.
from the zombies on a fighter jet? *looks around* yea how did we get here
extra: Well i don't know, do you have 90 minutes?
after like chapter 6 or 7.. the story went so fast.. like woah we're in the end of arc 1 already
@FantomOmega we are far from it (lucky/unfortunatly)
@ HSR players who see Welt, Trailblazer, Dan Heng and March 7th with Imaginary forms (default for Welt) and want one for Himeko as well:
*_Are you sure about that?_*
I do not mind the risk as long as she has the journey she wanted all along
Comeback from new trailer CG for act 25,
Himeko : "It's my turn now.. i hope you don't mind girl."
Kiana : "My turn now. Hope you're fine with that!"
Make me sobs harder
Seriously, for those of you who haven't try this game. Just give it a chance, the story and gameplay are getting better

Kiana:*literally pushes Himeko into a cube, smashes it, crushes it, use her lances to cut it up, right, down, left*
Himeko:
**survives**
She went much beyond what her body could handle with Houkai energy to survive that (that's why the glowing cracks on her face). She knew she was dead then (She would eventually turn into a Zombie if she didn't end her life... Similar to the human like enemies that you face ... Which, as a Valkyrie is much worse than dying) So did the best thing she could.
P.S: I have been playing Houkai since 2016 in the Japanese server but lost my old account so had to make a new one. Just imagining I have to go through this again is traumatic.
@@Himekocchi god speed dude god speed.
Its break the battlesuit though
She had Gem of Haste. Basically a Pseudo-Herrscher. At least that's why I think she survived. Also Valkyries are super-human basically.
She missed the center lol
