Weird cut in video btw.
To give some context: All those robots are human engineered weapons that are as you said, clones, made for war. All of them wear a type of that suit and are part of the "iron calvary". However, this is the kind of legion that is absolutely heartless. Known rules are as followed
Article 1: Knights should feel honored to be born.
Article 2: Remain on guard.
Article 4: Leaving the cockpit is strictly prohibited.
Article 8: Surviving Knights should immediately return to their units.
Article 22: Knights must give all they have to Her Majesty, the queen. Including their lives.
You can see here, it's mostly born to fight, then forced to fight, and then only death will be the end.
However, Glamoth's "empire" is sort of fake. The empress is basicly a hivemind of all the units that telepathically commanded and controlled the knights. In their dreams, the sole meaning of their existance is to guard this fake empress and the empire. However, this non existent empire fell, probably due to the percentage of old humans in Glamoth's territories falling below a certain percantage. After this whole endless war of death, there's just remains of mechas and insect limbs in the star system of Glamoth, floating around as debris
Not clones. Even in this video when they show rows of Iron Cavalry soldiers they are not the same. They are artificial humans, they have similarities but they are not clones.
@@Zolwiol They are basicly clones though. Genetic build up is likely similair enough to them being classified as "clones". They have different looks to distinguish identity, like the glasses girl said. It's also worth noting Firefly's hair is longer than most, because she has survived longer, making her also unique
The reason they live and die is for Glamoth as Living weapon. They were used to the Swarm and the Swarm almost ended the universe since they keep on mulitplying that multiple Aeons(Gods) needed to band together to the Swarm. Firefly now wants to be more than a weapon she wants to be “Firefly” not as “Sam” (PS: Sam is the name of the armor she’s using to disguise herself and and fight with!)
Firefly is a Stellaron Hunter, and of the new characters in Penacony, she's arguably the most important, comparable only to Acheron in terms of story. She was a genetically engineered clone of the Glamoth Iron Calvary, which was created to fight against the Swarm, the creation of the Aeon of Propogation, Tazzyronth. This takes place roughly 4700 years before the current timeline of Honkai Star rail. As far as we know, Firefly is the only survivor of the Glamoth Empire.
Glamoth was a large empire that came under invasion of the Swarm. These soldiers use S.A.M. suits to fight off the never ending Swarm. However, Glamoth purposefully engineered these clone soldiers to never have long lives. These soldiers were given orders telepathically by a genetically engineered "Empress". Glamoth was one of the few civilizations to actually succeed in holding back the Swarm for a very long period of time. However, the fighting came at a cost. The constant fighting caused so much spacial debris that Glamoth's sunlight was eventually blocked from the planet. Also, the "Empress" rebelled against Glamoth's government after revealing the governments mjstreatment of her and the S.A.M. soldiers. The planet fell not long after that due to all these issues.
From birth, these soldiers were only made to fight, and only seen as weapons. They weren't even given names. Firefly's unit name was AR-26710, and the name Firefly was probably only something she gave herself after this event. These soldiers were forbidden from ever taking of their armor out in the field, and in a previous trailer, we know that there are different types of S.A.M. suits.
All soldiers are afflicted with Entropy Loss Syndrome, a condition that will cause their physical structure and senses to slowly deteoriate if they stay outside their S.A.M suits for too long. Essentially, they are trading life force for power.
This animated short shows one of the last battles of Glamoth's Iron Cavalry. They were given directives to keep fighting even if their home planet fell. Firefly ends up as the only confirmed survivor of Glamoth. It seems that blast of power that enabled her to destroy a planet kept her in stasis for 4700 years, so she didn't age while she was floating through space all that time. Elio directed Kafka through the "script" to find Firefly here.
Firefly's goal in Penacony is to find a cure for her ELS so she can live as a normal girl. Having long been freed of Glamoth's control, she wants to decide her own life. However, as long as she is afflicted by ELS, she won't ever be able to leave her S.A.M. suit for very long. She and the Trailblazer became very close during Penacony, and given that she's a Stellaron Hunter, we will see her again in the future.
At least 10.000
She was born in swarm war
Swarm war happen before xianzhou alliance was born
Xianzhou born from around 8000-10.000 years ago
Adding to what everyone else said, SAM is both a weapon Firefly uses, and a shackle on her very being. She wants to cease being defined by it, and instead live her life as herself, all the way to its end whenever or however that may be. It’s because, since she was genetically developed specifically to pilot the SAM mech, she is unable to dream, which is a valuable human experience, and she expresses that all she is ever good for is destruction. She wants to be more than just that, and our time with her in Penacony has her admit that, even though Penacony itself is a dreamscape, her experience in it with us is real, something she’ll treasure forever.
With Firefly and her background, I get vibes that are a mix between Nier Automata and 86, both stories dealing with themes about how it’s pointless to fight depending on who deploys you in the first place, and how one ultimately should choose to fight for something other than a nation that may be disregarding your existence.
Kafka and Firefly are teammates, this is how she was found and Kafka is the one who welcomed her in after this
Firefly's animated short is so strong I'm glad you got to see it!
Is the video cut off for anyone else at 5:24? Its like replaced?...
Yeah, it's cut off and then skip 😅
I think bro messed up💀🙏
Editing mistake
The closest comparison I have for this animation is Gurren Lagann's Parallel Works 8, specifically the part where Lordgenome goes on a rampage. It's just _that_ awesome, the sheer visceral emotion and destruction packed within 6-ish minutes.
The soundtrack in Firefly animation is closely resembled with Eighty-Six (86) anime soundtracks, titled "Hear My Voice", composed by Kohta Yamamoto. Both tracks have the piano and "Long roll" drum being played for the main buildup of the soundtrack, and both tracks have that motif resemble Hope and departure for the fallen soldier, and to those who still march on.
I highly suspect that everything after the explosion is highly metaphorical, rather than literal. Hoyo likes to really show metaphor visually, like internal conflict shown by a character fighting their alternate form, and the tree growing out of nowhere and the instantaneous planet destruction doesn't exactly make much sense as a literal action, but metaphorically its a much more easy to understand.
2: 29 My favorite moment. She's in awe, in shock. She's not even a firm believer and she joins in on the pledge because what else can you do when your comrade goes completely and utterly last stand on an insane behemouth of...bad. The whole situation is primal, and her reaction to the sheer heaviness of it all is to react with what is at the core of her existence; and for her it's being a Glamoth Knight, for better or worse.
Going through something like that is bound to give you a flash of insanity in the moment. Love that she looses it like that. Perfect absolute cinema moment.
The sky-splitting whip at the end was very well done. I love how it depicted a planet killer from a semi-orbit pov.
One bit of the Tree scene that always struck me: They make sure that the last soldier to die, collapsed in seiza, is still in the frame and facing the tree as it grows.
Like a Believer praying to their God. Which, given the surge of Abundance-tinted flames, feels appropriate. Not to mention the unspoken desire based off the other short, that they do in fact desire at least some amount of freedom. A wish that Firefly possibly inherited as the last of their kind.
i definitely agree about the color usage, they did such a good job with her character design as well, giving her that bright turquoise color, to contrast the deep reds and oranges of the battlefield.
This was great. I was hoping that I would see you cover this and hopefully you can look at her character trailer as well
Firefly has been floating in space for thousands of years by the time Kafka finds her.
Kafka is led there by Elio, as Firefly has some importance to the script, where she picks her up and makes her apart of their family.
All the clones are made up of the genetic material from the "Empress" but the Empress is a lie.. what the clones fight for is a lie.
They are engineered to degrade rapidly overtime so Glamoth didn't have to worry about a uprising. Thats why they are all so young.
Like 86 vibes.
Edit: Glamoth was fighting what is known as "The Swarm"
Well the other reason they're all so young is thay they die a lot
@@tabithal2977 And they have a self destruct programmed into their DNA. Both points can be true
Wait, So it wasn't just a few hours or something between Glamoth exploding and Kafka finding Firefly? Where does it say in game that it's been a few thousand years? Just curious
@@erykolop1 Glamoth was destroyed years prior the main story (it's no more than an event recorded in history books by that point), it's not specified if it was during the Swarm Disaster (hundreds of years ago) or after that, but either way she's been floating in space for a very long time.
@@erykolop1 The Swarm disaster happened in 13XX (exact year not know) Amber Era.
The Astral Express started it's new journey with Himeko as the Navigator in 21XX Amber Era.
The end year of the Swarm disaster is harder to narrow down but we know it wasn't hours after her battle. It's been hundreds of years and approaching a thousand if I had to give my opinion
I can't watch this video without tears...) I turned it on about 50 times, and tears come all the time..
Been waiting for you to react to this one! Your reactions are always so insightful and I loved this one when I first saw it.
I hope you'll react to some of the other firefly promo material too!
The Swarm (bugs) began propagating rapidly, infecting living organisms which then became hosts. Eventually they were a force large enough to destroy the Glamoth solar system.
Glamoth's Iron Cavalry (mechs), were created to combat the swarm, but eventually they lost.
The way they portrayed the character's desperate exhaustion and unwavering devotion to the mission during the battle was insanely well done. When she repeats the creed seemingly out of reflex "For Her Majesty", even as she's emotionally torn, sent chills down my spine
You should also check out Wuthering waves featured cinematics
I never realize that the three acts of this animated shorts are represent by three different color palette.
So basically:
Act 1: The War is represented by a blood-red hue.
Act 2: The Aftermath is filled with grey like ash.
Act 3: The Rebirth is more vibrant which represents life.
All the act names are made-up, by the way.
Everyone's already said it all in the comments here. But the long and short of it is that our main character here- Firefly, is a member of the Iron Cavalry. They are a group of soldiers created explicitly for the purpose of fight back against "The Swarm". The Swarm are those beetles you see in this trailer. It's a tragic story because these girls live as weapons with no further purpose. And they were all genetically infused with "Entropy Loss Syndrome" as a failsafe to ensure they cannot be used for other purposes.
Whats funny is that the ending of this trailer calls into question previously established lore in regards to certain chronological events. But that is a topic not for here and now.
This battle happened thousands of years before the present day in the story. Both Glamoth and the Swarm are long gone.
Kafka finding Firefly who has been floating among the planetary debris field for millennia, is set a short while before the start of the HSR story.
Iron Blooded Orphans is a pretty good gundam show.
Glamoth empire was subsequently destroyed during the Swarm Disaster so thats mean Firefly . fluting in Glamoth orbit for thousands of years until they find her ..
You should also check out her Myriad Celestia trailer.
You also should have checked out the one before this it introduces the two others shown here.
Orbital strike
This is the second trailer in a series, even without knowing anything about her you would know enough by watching the previous one. They're all clones biologically engineered to pilot that power armour. But instead of being engineered to be strong they were made with superhuman reflexes, eyesight and processing speed to make them the perfect pilots. It worked too, Glamoth were the only ones to win against the swarm without divine intervention but by then they had lost their interstellar empire. The propagation swarm exists only to spread and turn everything into themselves, kind of like Tyranid or Zerg.
whats up with that cut at 5:23 lol
Oh boy, if you like Gundam you are in for a treat when you react to her demo.
As if Chris Connor ain't enough, now imma sub to another filmmaker that is also a hot guy.
Not clones. Artificial humans. They are similar to each other but they are not clones.
Firefly is about 4000 Years old , but the Kafka Scene would imply that kafka is the same but it isnt, kafka found firefly somewhat recently and recruited her to the Stellaron Hunters, and she helped her with Fireflys drip
At least 10.000
She was born in swarm war
Swarm war happen before xianzhou alliance was born
Xianzhou born from around 8000-10.000 years ago
This is the current Swarm. Glamoth's fall is recent history.
The Swarm wasn't killed just heavily nerfed with the death of their Aeon and Qilopoth stripping several of the concepts the Propagation encompassed to weaken it.
The old Swarm was so unstoppable that only the Voracity could keep up with it by being the literal embodiment of all devouring hunger.
@@elixxon glamoth destroyed in the swarm war
Not recently
They are one of many civilization get destroyed when the swarm war happen
@@vietcuongnguyenle8530 the swarm is still present and an actual menace.
It destroyed Tiernan's expeditionary force, and the Galaxy Rangers lured the Swarm to attack Lord Ravager Zulo during the crusade on it, which Tiernan also took part in.
All only a few centuries ago.
Stop pushing that headcanon, it's FALSE.
@@elixxon yes currently still exist what left of the swarm
But glamoth empire and glamoth knight destroyed by the swarm in swarm war era , not by current swarm in current era
So basically she's the march 7th of the Stellaron Hunters...C..Can we swap her with ours?
I just pulled Firefly a few hours ago and immediately proceeded to ruin my good mood by watching her trailers.
Depression Impact 3rd has gotten a worthy successor
The Swarm Disaster happened in Amber Era 13XX, and the present era is 2162 (im sure someone will correct me on the current one of im off). Since each Amber Era is between roughly 70-250 years ling. This means that Firefly was floating in the debris of the planet she destroyed for roughly 7,000 to over 10,000 years before Kafka finds her.
