Of course, we already know that all that is happening is the plan of elio, all is going according to plan. Until that plot point is resolved all can be traced to the stellaron hunters
Your explanation of Tingyun’s new design is exactly why I like Hoyoverse’s characters. It’s not just “Oh, here’s a Chinese Nine-Tailed Fox” and call it a day. There’s a lot going on when you look into it with references to Nihility, Flowers (Ressurection), and Venus (Aphrodite, Ishtar, Morning Star). This way the character actually carries some meaning.
chinese dont have nine tail, the first nine tail appeared in chinese were Daji, which were changed to modern day anime trend. Nine tail fox were japanese deity folklore.
What if Aether and Lumine are actually manifestations of a single entity much like sunday and wonweek . Perhaps, instead if being twins, they represent different aspects of the same individual.
Are you trying to say they are an Androgenous Descender like the Primordial One for example? That would be quite complicated. I personally see Sunday and Robin as counterparts to Aether and Lumine on some level.
@@SumiSakurasawa-uv1yt Yes indeed. Im quite exited for Amphoreus because THIS is the world that will expand heck I would even say spoil the genesis of Teyvat
25:40 Fugue (Nihility) is mentored by Ruan Mei (Harmony) Sunday (Harmony) is mentored by Welt (Nihility) Ruan Mei uses a piece of Nihility to cure an infected/dead Tingyun (Harmony, at the time) Then you have Acheron (Nihility Emanator) helping to topple Order and restore Harmony to Pencony. Theres a deep relationship between Xipe and IX that I hope Hoyo will focus on more directly.
btw if you go backward with 5 star Tingyun when she first appears story playable you get some extra dialogue: (Attempt to walk towards the Voidrangers, optional) ???: This path is so dark, yet it's strange, the farther I walk... the more at peace I feel... ???: ...? ???: Could it be that... this isn't the first time? (While walking) ???: That... looks so familiar. ???: Does she want to lead me somewhere...?
I actually have believed for awhile that on a flat surface yes it is 8 but is actually 9 As there would be another point coming straight from the center Kinda like the 3 moon sisters and 4 shades (the 3 phases of the moon and the sun) Always 1 hidden in plain sight
There was no real debate over this topic anyway. The evidence supporting Sunday's thematic connection to the Morning Star is so overwhelming against any other alternatives to the point where you're arguing for its favour is essentially useless, it's like trying to argue that the Ocean is Blue... Well, yeah, but who cares to prove that?
The Irony is that Morning Star also refers to Jesus as well. Morning Star is used to refer to Lucifer for so long people forgot and are surprised when Revelation also refers to Christ as the Morning Star. @@DedeTheHut
Tingyun/Fugue and Sunday are probably the best written characters in the game so far. And I used to hate Sunday, but the story really helped changed my mind on him. Very nice analysis. Nice to know my girl Tingyun is gonna be very OP lore wise! XD
This is so cool, both super interesting with all the historical and cultural connections and also really funny. Feels like I’m in a humanities class with an engaging professor 😆
Was hoping for a bit more connecting Sunday and Fugue so that there’s evidence of them working together in the future, but this is still a really good video I love both of them so much
Speaking of simmilarities between Genshin and HSR Emberfire, the song which plays during the Alrecchino animation also has some correlated lines, such as: "May the birds soar from their cage Sunbeams filter through the foliage: "By the grace of pain" "Stay awake, don't fall asleep The way is long and the gloom is deep" "Nothing to fear, never look back Go ahead" "You cut down the thorns again and again Your pride will not be slain From the heart to the veins" Considering that Sunday as a Halovian already had angel motiefs and Arlecchino is a ressurected outlander it makes sense that she also has angelic motifs in her desing.
I can't push myself through Starrail anymore, same as i fell out of love with genshin while playing in Fontaine; BUT i still love the characters, the lore and worldbuilding. Tho' it may have its reasons why i won't be playing any hoyo games anymore, i still love to keep up with the story and its insane depth and meaning. Thank you for your work an wrapping up the lore in an understandable and digestable way!!
Man, these AI targeted ads just keep getting more invasive. How did it know to inject unskippable ads for fluffy tails and foxians? The ads even bypass RUclips premium... I just bought 1 million Fugue coins.
I was hoping you'd mention it when talking about Jade, but I wanted to point out her name is LITERALLY Eve and she has many other religious symbolism. the snake is ABSOLUTELY representative of sin
Since you mentioned the concept of 9 in chinese culture, it remind me of a belief in my country that 9 signifies the ending and 0 signifies rebirth or new begining, we're close to china maybe we have same belief. It made me think that maybe IX will really engulf the world.
I got the headcanon that the travelers are the Children of Sunday and Aglaea, hence why their kit really meshes well. And "Phanes" is actually instead of an ambiguous gender is a couple god that establishes humanity on Teyvat in the Path of Order then things went to shit when the "Second" Descender came.
Hmm...I still don't think Wonweek is Sunday's past self, since Sunday stated he is a possibility that he could have become, and more likely the him that didn't lost his faith in Xipe as he has more knowledge in tuning with the harmony as stated ingame during the quest. Like the only similarity Wonweek and 2.0-2.2 Sunday have is their smugness but that's it. Wonweek is more like the shadow Aventurine in 2.1. Also I don't know if you noticed but there were more Sundays not just Wonweek they were hidden away in Sunday's mindspace and then dissapeared when he used his tuning on himself and it's more likely that just like there was a slightly normal Tingyun, the slightly normal Sunday was Wonweek.
That's a terrible analysis on your part because Sunday straight-up tells Welt towards the end that the laughing candy divided his fragile Self into two parts whereas Wonweek is clearly the other part. So you are just wrong. As for the "many Sundays" you mention, I think you are conflating the symbolism used in the quest as being actual physical material.
@@WhiteGold-tg1qj Sunday told Welt: "You could say that he is another possibility of me"...and the talking about how he had asspirations as a child which with time faded(he says this regarding Wonweek)... then continues: "Maybe if I had a small change in my childhood, I would have turned out to be exactly like him." then Wonweek says how he failed to become a better version of himself. That's the only thing he tells Welt
@@WhiteGold-tg1qj no Sunday hates himself either way, also he didn't told Welt he only told it to Wonweek following how he hates frivolous people, like Wonweek, like he himself truly is but he represses his emotions as he says but despite all of that he still can't be like that because he won't abandon his principles to become a better person as Robin told him that he doesn't have to change himself.
This is just a minor point in the video overall but I’m curious about the interpretation of Wonweek. I would argue that Wonweek is more obviously the shadow, since he contains the parts of Sunday that are repressed. Wonweek openly expresses the concern and care for Robin that would normally be kept quiet. He bluntly insults people and acts childishly and defiantly. He basically does everything Sunday would hate doing. That fits the definition of the shadow to me. He does represent the past villain Sunday to an extent, since he looks like him, but I don’t think that implies the current Sunday is a shadow self taking over. My interpretation of Wonweek taking on the old Sunday’s appearance is that it’s to convey the main Sunday’s relationship with his “past selves” in general. How he has a tendency to disown aspects of himself he dislikes and deem them as belonging to the past (a line about leaving his childish ways comes to mind). The conclusion of the quest would then be him learning to accept the negative parts of himself as actually belonging to himself and not just being remnants of the past, which lines up with the video’s interpretation. Wonderful video and I can’t wait to hear thoughts about Amphoreus
I wish you would create another channel for the non genshin videos, it's such a bummer to see the notification pop up. Just to realize that it is a video about something else, yet again.
just don’t watch the video. It’s a fleeting moment where a lot of people would just move on and forget about it. You may need to revaluate your priorities. There’s not much need to create another channel
![KSI - Dirty [Official Visualiser]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VoDh1h1dPUE/mqdefault.jpg)
Isn't Lord of Silence Polka Kakamond and not IX?
True, that was a mistake I made.
I thought of that moment I heard it, felt like I'd seen that name somewhere
I'm starting to think that, the mischievous Papeshi is a masked fool. The chaos caused was intentional.
Of course, we already know that all that is happening is the plan of elio, all is going according to plan. Until that plot point is resolved all can be traced to the stellaron hunters
So aha wanted Sunday and Tingyun to be connected that’s my GOAT
No one:
Welt and Caelus: G R A V I T A T I O N A L D I S I N T E G R A T I O N
Trailblazer be like: If you mess with me my dad will disintegrate you!

I LOVE HOYOS USE OF LEITMOTIFS TO CONVEY FAMILIAR SCENES AND THEMES IN THEIR GAMES
25:40
Fugue (Nihility) is mentored by Ruan Mei (Harmony)
Sunday (Harmony) is mentored by Welt (Nihility)
Ruan Mei uses a piece of Nihility to cure an infected/dead Tingyun (Harmony, at the time)
Then you have Acheron (Nihility Emanator) helping to topple Order and restore Harmony to Pencony.
Theres a deep relationship between Xipe and IX that I hope Hoyo will focus on more directly.

???: ...?
???: Could it be that... this isn't the first time?
(While walking)
???: That... looks so familiar.
???: Does she want to lead me somewhere...?
The Comercial and "Gravitational Disintegration" bits killed me XD
Curiously I think scaramouche can also represent the demiurge in the sense that his mother abandoned him in a sealed place for being deemed a failure
Yup
the 8 pointed star thing made me remember of Kaehriah big entry under sumeru that is represented by an 8 pointed star
I actually have believed for awhile that on a flat surface yes it is 8 but is actually 9
As there would be another point coming straight from the center
Kinda like the 3 moon sisters and 4 shades (the 3 phases of the moon and the sun)
Always 1 hidden in plain sight
Glad that I am not the only convinced that Sunday is much more related or referenced to Lucifer instead of Jesus

@@DedeTheHut also that most people don’t care….which is sad cuz it’s really good character building
He’s pretty much both… he has many religious motifs that semantics don’t matter… he’s a hybrid
The Irony is that Morning Star also refers to Jesus as well. Morning Star is used to refer to Lucifer for so long people forgot and are surprised when Revelation also refers to Christ as the Morning Star. @@DedeTheHut
what link could he have with Jesus ?
(their is some prophet that would correspond far more.)
"We fall so that we may learn to get ourselves up once again."
Amphoreus about to be legendary
Sunday's sun line reminded me of Aztec mythology when playing. How a new god replaces a dying old god, becoming the new sun.
Tingyun/Fugue and Sunday are probably the best written characters in the game so far.
And I used to hate Sunday, but the story really helped changed my mind on him.
Very nice analysis. Nice to know my girl Tingyun is gonna be very OP lore wise! XD
Oh, new video, instantly a good day. Already hit the like, now I can watch it.
I'm just here tearing up because I love how accurate you are and i can tell you're passionate about analysing the story I love it and thank you
FugeCoin stonks! Fluffy tails on top. Can’t wait for Amphoreus
Real cool run!! I was kinda surprised, Sunday kept generating a good amount of skill points even at E0S1. He’s amazing.
This is so cool, both super interesting with all the historical and cultural connections and also really funny. Feels like I’m in a humanities class with an engaging professor 😆
Was hoping for a bit more connecting Sunday and Fugue so that there’s evidence of them working together in the future, but this is still a really good video I love both of them so much
I had to check the link just see for sure if it was real.
God I fucking love you. XD
before i click on the "fugue coin" link, imma guess it's a rickroll. ok now i click.
edit: I KNEW IT LMAO
This video is insanely underrated.
10:13 actual heaven
I think that is "The Fugue Plane"
Love your HSR vids!
Always interesting videos. I always expect new videos from you.
Speaking of simmilarities between Genshin and HSR Emberfire, the song which plays during the Alrecchino animation also has some correlated lines, such as:

Your pride will not be slain
From the heart to the veins"
Considering that Sunday as a Halovian already had angel motiefs and Arlecchino is a ressurected outlander it makes sense that she also has angelic motifs in her desing.
Sunday remind me of 2 other characters from Genshin :
Remus, and The Primordial one.
how tf am i getting a bombshell of christianity lore of Lucifer not actually being Lucifer's name from a HONKAI THEORY VIDEO LMAOOOOOO

I told to myself... If I click that link and it's not a rickroll I`m not watching the video. God damn you are awesom
Very good video
The number 9 is quite important to HSR yet I would argue to each of their game with for example the enigmatic Mister Nine in Genshin
I don’t have the time to play so I watch these videos
I was hoping you'd mention it when talking about Jade, but I wanted to point out her name is LITERALLY Eve and she has many other religious symbolism. the snake is ABSOLUTELY representative of sin

Was Sunday trying to free teyvat
He's such a failure
Its because he is becoming a "Traveler". XD
I got the headcanon that the travelers are the Children of Sunday and Aglaea, hence why their kit really meshes well.
And "Phanes" is actually instead of an ambiguous gender is a couple god that establishes humanity on Teyvat in the Path of Order then things went to shit when the "Second" Descender came.
