The song Moon Halo incorporates elements of many of the previous songs used in animations- Nightglow: Never let you go Moon Halo: I will never let go - Rubia: Find a way back home Moon Halo: There is a way back home - Starfall: I want no tomorrow or yesterday Moon Halo: Brighter than tomorrow or yesterday - Cyberangel: Through my wings've been bloodstained and could never Moon Halo: Unfold this pair of wings for me again - Honkai World Diva (ch 17): Crimson moon shines upon a town that is smeared in blood Moon Halo: Turned into a moon that always tells warmth
The "Moon" part isn't refering to Honkai World Diva. It's just a coincidence that the two lines have the word moon in it. But it is actually a symbolism for Himeko as the "Sun" that shines it's light, and Kiana as the "Moon" who carries that light to brithen the darkness. It is made clear in the Everlasting Flame animation, the camera shows Kiana at the "Turns into a Moon that always tells the warmth..." and then pans to Himeko when it reached "and the brightness of the Sun"
1:56:42 They pulled that Chekovs Gun out of nowhere. Like remember when himeko was talking about her teacher that died? All the way back in Ark City arc?? Holy…
Fu Hua is not part of the trio but she has her own multiple groups. Herrscher of Flamescion - inheritor of (Himeko's) Gem of Haste, borrows powers from Herrscher of Reason and Sentience through friendship, and then add them to her 2 cores of Serenity and Void. She has powers of 5 cores now. HI3 is a interactive, action packed, mostly voiced, visual novel with a rudimentary gacha system. No other games are like this ( I played hundreds), mobile games included. This is the ONLY game in the decades of playing games that had make me cry, not just once but twice.
Kiana has grown, She's become more mature and self-aware, Her past experience and trauma have made her who she is today, Which is also why she's such a great Scion for the core of Haste.
Chapters 1 & 2 of ER technically takes place between Chapter 25 and Chapter 26, but I don't think your experience will be negatively impacted even if you put it off until after Chapter 28. You will not be able to avoid the Elysian Realm when you get to Chapter 29, though you will be presented with a skip for Chapters 1, 2 & 3. I wouldn't recommend taking the skip personally, but we can help you figure out exactly what you'll be skipping when you get there.
btw, the story Himeko is talking about, it's a summarized version of what happened in the Alien Space manga. That's right, Second Eruption isn't the only prequel manga of this game. Himeko kinda goes all excited with Welt in there, because she believed Welt is also into alien and space stuff, when in truth, he was lying about it as a cover for what he really was getting involved for. The way Himeko acts in Alien Space, is very different than how she acted ingame. Great tragedy can change a person drastically. It's due to what happened in the Alien Space manga, why she gave up on her dreams she had as her life's goal, to be a teacher for Valkyries instead. I won't spoil things for Alien Space any further in this comment, aside from these last hints of story: Let's just say Himeko's dad met with Welt Yang, and Himeko's dad was doing some terrible things without telling his daughter, nor telling how he truly feels about her. I still need to finish reading Alien Space, I'm still putting off reading the rest of that manga
I really REALLY wish they would just implement the manga panels into the game's story , and just add the voice acting of the speech bubbles. It wouldn't be hard , the work is pretty much lrdy done, and people would be able to have a full story of the game without going online to read up on the comics.
4:03:37 you can actually see himeko's broken sword in herta's space station in one of her curio collections as a little easter egg and if you interact with it using himeko theres a different dialogue to it as a bonus easter egg
I hope Star Rail gets story cutscenes like this someday. For now, they seem focused on flashbacks, worldbuilding and character building, but it would be really cool as payoff for the more important story beats like HI3rd does. But if they use it to "Chapter 9" Himeko AGAIN, I SWEAR TO GOD-
Same. Kind of disappointed to see their cutscene is not about the main story. But at the same time, I understand that this is a new game and the story just get started. Hopefully we get to see story animation in the future.
@@Sky-lw5pr Kinda disappointed too, but it is understandable. They can justify the budget on these animation because it helps them sell new characters/battlesuits (Will of the Herrscher for HoV, Final Lesson for Vermillion Knight, Lament of the Fallen for HoT, Shattered Samsara for Senti, etc). It was easier to have them as story progression in HI3, because a new battlesuit could mean a new step in the progress of an already established character, and not a whole new character being introduced every time. With alternate versions of the same character being a thing in HSR (like Imbibitor Lunae), maybe we'll get a big story cinematic (possibly showcasing a new March or Himeko) in the style of HI3. We can hope at least.
Yeah, uh, you'll know how Siegfried survived using an attack that would kill a human normally to use it, if you read the manga. Specifically, the manga named 2nd Eruption. Sirin's story is there, as well as Siegfried and Cecilia's story. btw, if you're even slightly informed about MiHoYo's games (not counting Star Rail of course) you may notice some references there at one point
St. Freya I think does get restored by the time of APHO, as the male protag of APHO is stated to been the only guy enrolled in St. Freya, a school typically only girls get to enroll in, as for whatever reason, females have a better chance at handling Honkai than most males. That's not to say APHO MC was the only guy who could handle Honkai. We know of other males who could confront Honkai due to having good adaptability to Honkai energy, but they are very few.
the only reason fu hua isn't in the trio of bronya, mei, and kiana... she's already the main protagonist of her own story. No room for the other three. from Fu Hua's POV, the trio of HI3rd is just part of her MSQ, and her story continues past theirs.
btw, since I found you late and couldn't say all this when this stream was live, to answer your question what would the world be had Otto been killed off as a child due to some timetraveler: The world would be much worse than it already is in canon, and Theresa wouldn't exist, nor K423. I was going to explain more and why all this is possible because of Otto, but, considering this stream is from 3 weeks in the past, you have allot of lore to dig through, so I best not spoil everything
What if, "Jackal", is the Current Era counterpart to Previous Era's Dr. Mobius? We don't see many mad scientists in Previous Era and Current Era, and both want to "experiment" on a Herrscher with a human will, although for different reasons. I dunno, I'm just spouting random junk of theorizing. Kinda interesting Jackal was stationed in Egypt, considering Anubis comes from beliefs in ancient Egypt. Who is often depicted as a Jackal. Also, it seems the codenames World Serpent assigns to it's members, are all of animals of some sort. And it isn't just World Serpent with that thing of having animal aspects or themes assigned to the game's characters. Susannah's Valkyrie Quicksand Battlesuit is themed after bears. Kiana's White Comet Battlesuit has the whole "Neko Charm" thing, where she summons giant can legs/paws to mimic her body movements in her attacks. There's probably more examples of animal theming, but I can't think more right now
btw, you in theory, should be able to catch up in the main story in less time than it took me. Because I first started playing this game BEFORE they trimmed out the filler stages in earlier chapters
Hey Mina, while you're recovering from chapter 25, I reccomend reading Durandal's visual novel. It's also important as context because chapter 25 EX makes little sense without it. Plus it's the origin story of your blonde waifu so it's a win-win situation
The most boring (sometimes) and one of the best parts is awaiting for you! Trust me! It will be really great! Ohh, I forgot ... After the clown one xD Be strong xD
The song Moon Halo incorporates elements of many of the previous songs used in animations-
Nightglow: Never let you go
Moon Halo: I will never let go
-
Rubia: Find a way back home
Moon Halo: There is a way back home
-
Starfall: I want no tomorrow or yesterday
Moon Halo: Brighter than tomorrow or yesterday
-
Cyberangel: Through my wings've been bloodstained and could never
Moon Halo: Unfold this pair of wings for me again
-
Honkai World Diva (ch 17): Crimson moon shines upon a town that is smeared in blood
Moon Halo: Turned into a moon that always tells warmth
The "Moon" part isn't refering to Honkai World Diva. It's just a coincidence that the two lines have the word moon in it.
But it is actually a symbolism for Himeko as the "Sun" that shines it's light, and Kiana as the "Moon" who carries that light to brithen the darkness. It is made clear in the Everlasting Flame animation, the camera shows Kiana at the "Turns into a Moon that always tells the warmth..." and then pans to Himeko when it reached "and the brightness of the Sun"
Befall: All the voices trapped in thee
Moon Halo: Let out the cried imprisoned for so long
This chapter always makes me emotional. It's just the best, peak. Kiana is the Best Female Main character.
“It’s… It’s j-just so PEAK!”
-My honest reaction
oh you're right, words can't express just how much growth that girl experienced
1:56:42 They pulled that Chekovs Gun out of nowhere. Like remember when himeko was talking about her teacher that died? All the way back in Ark City arc?? Holy…
I love how Kiana essentially just went, "I'm not your vessel idiot, I'm you. We're the same person!" And HoV's only response was just, " Nuh-uh."
Screw you for making me laugh omg 😂
“I’m you”
“Where you go I go, what you see I see”
She was reborn in the fire, she was smiling in the fire.
May all the beauty be blessed captains.
Fu Hua is not part of the trio but she has her own multiple groups.

Which is also why she's such a great Scion for the core of Haste.

So it like finish chapter 25 then do er then chapter 26?
honestly i didn't expect for the stream only to be 4 hours long, i was prepared for it to be 5 if not 6
Chapter 25 is always become a peak Honkai moment for me ❤
May all the beauty be blessed o7

Next we can watch "Honkai Chronicle: Kiana Kaslana" now that this arc was over
I wonder if Mina hates Otto? Ahaha. Finally my favorite arc, will definitely look forward to Thus Spoke Apocalypse.
Ok your loved ones only return to your dreams when they pass away, within the first seven days of their passing, and Kiana didn't dream that night...
Congratulations, you’ve just been promoted from initial Captain to Veteran Captain with the completion of Everlasting Flame.
i played the chapter i cried -watched mina play it - also cried 10/10 would again
I really REALLY wish they would just implement the manga panels into the game's story , and just add the voice acting of the speech bubbles. It wouldn't be hard , the work is pretty much lrdy done, and people would be able to have a full story of the game without going online to read up on the comics.
God I wish I could replay this for the first time again 😭 I miss Kiana so much
I think its pronounced S-eye-on, a scion is descendent of a notable family. So Kiana inherited Himeko's flames.
Yes it’s Flame Scion. The scion of the Herrscher of Flames which Himeko used
I originally thought it was pronounced in a manner similar to "Explosion" for some reason
So glad u kept at this! Watching your reactions was really cool !! :)
Otto is the kind of guy to hit a child and then say trauma makes you stronger
4:03:37 you can actually see himeko's broken sword in herta's space station in one of her curio collections as a little easter egg and if you interact with it using himeko theres a different dialogue to it as a bonus easter egg
Stop
Mina like "ill vonlunteer as a tribute to the Queen".
I hope Star Rail gets story cutscenes like this someday. For now, they seem focused on flashbacks, worldbuilding and character building, but it would be really cool as payoff for the more important story beats like HI3rd does.

Well congratulations, atleast one or two is canon
the chapter captains will never forget
Yeah, uh, you'll know how Siegfried survived using an attack that would kill a human normally to use it, if you read the manga. Specifically, the manga named 2nd Eruption. Sirin's story is there, as well as Siegfried and Cecilia's story. btw, if you're even slightly informed about MiHoYo's games (not counting Star Rail of course) you may notice some references there at one point
I'm still waiting to see you, see the cuteness of the 13 flame chasers 🗿👍🏻
Imo the best chapter.
sure you can go straight into Thus Spoke Apocalypse, but CONTEXT...
Worth the wait!
St. Freya I think does get restored by the time of APHO, as the male protag of APHO is stated to been the only guy enrolled in St. Freya, a school typically only girls get to enroll in, as for whatever reason, females have a better chance at handling Honkai than most males.

This is Dawei's favorite story arc.
Correction it OUR favorite story arc

Otto best inspiration ever
Mina be like Leonardo Dicaprio in Shutter Island.
Denying reality.
"You're already in it when they stop being happy" Says the person that has played through the newest Trailblaze mission for Star Rail
btw, you in theory, should be able to catch up in the main story in less time than it took me. Because I first started playing this game BEFORE they trimmed out the filler stages in earlier chapters
Imagine having the chocolate door on Genshin fire nation.
CHOCOLATE DOOR IS REALLL
Next Station: Otto Apocalypse
I've played Chapters 1-35 and this boss takes 5th place in difficulty
Otto my beloved
Chapter 25 pretty much One of my favs
Also sad that Siegfried died........
1:41:48 she is real Kiana ( durandal )
This is my favourite arc, followed by Otto's arc. They are the absolute definition of PEAK WRITING ❤❤
best chapter
3:53:20 BRONYA! 😫
this was the last chapter i was able to share with my father before he died...
I hope hsr collab with flame chaser bcuz we don't know much about kalpas and another male ch 😮?
long term Copium sometimes do work out
Hey Mina, while you're recovering from chapter 25, I reccomend reading Durandal's visual novel. It's also important as context because chapter 25 EX makes little sense without it. Plus it's the origin story of your blonde waifu so it's a win-win situation
1:25:00 WHUT LMAO
2:9:39 suffering
