Just kinda noticed here that the gun used in Russian roulette by the two Sparkle (one in red mask one in white mask) has 6 barrels with 1 filled. And the "game" proceed as this: 1. The white mask shot first and she is safe 2. The red mask uses the second, third, and fourth shots yet she is still safe. 3. The white mask hesitate. Its 50-50 chance at this point, yet the red mask used white mask hand to shot her and she is safe. 4. The white mask shot herself with the last one. Her mask dropped and turned into half white and half red one Also that "insane" scene reminded me of that one anime. You know, the magical girl one. Dreadful mascot, abomination, and loosing head?
They're "safe" you say, and yet when flashbacks instantly to collapsed Sparkle bodies all over. Those *could* be the Sparkles that got shot before, but I like to think that every time a "blank" was fired still ended up with a "dead" Sparkle. It's all a very colourful metaphor, but trying to actually untangle the layers will just drive anyone further into the arms of Elation.
Sparkle got da Kurumi Vibes FR and she did the Persona 3 lol. But damn bro this Demo is Literally Insane Af and easily takes the crown as the best imo.
So the white mask Sparkle shoots the red mask Sparkle, and when the red mask hits the water, it turns into the half and half. Kinda wonder if White is the original persona, red is the Sparkle under full control of Aha, and at some point she tried to off herself when Aha had control, and now its a half and half version. Some of the visuals look like headwound for sure.
The Russian roulette scene is very interesting. It is where the context of the dialogue is. And the one talking is mainly the Red Masked Sparkle, who seems basically to be fully-controlled by Aha (maybe why the "I AM ELATION"). White masked Sparkle (we can assume she's the original / most "sane" one) accept the game, she shoot first, nothing but confettis comes out. She get interrupted by the ennemies, why the "Looks like someone's in my way". After that, we pass on to Red Masked Sparkle play, kinda mocking WM Sparkle with a "So what ?", and then continue to speak as she unload the 2nd, 3rd and fourth round, and where she's basically saying that White Masked's Sparkle is foolish, she is the one "pretending to be smart", and then Red Masked Sparkle continue to talk about being a fool, and how she's a fool, she knows when to act clueless. She hands off the revolver to White Masked Sparkle, who's, well, in shock, there's two possible shots left, and Red Masked Sparkle insist and force her to shoot the Red Masked one, the latest basically taunting the White one saying "I don't give a f*ck girl". The 5th shot goes, still safe, and we have all the tripy part. And then near the end we have white masked Sparkle in the hands of the Red Masked one, shooting herself, with the last bullet, who's a guarantee. And the mask turn from white to half-white, half-red. This can mean two things to be fair. Or more or less, we can see that in two diffeents ways. Either we can say that the Red Masked got what she wanted, the White one is "gone", the half-half being neither one nor the other, or the White Masked got what she wanted, that mean, she's still herself to some extent and didn't got erased by the Red masked one. In any ways shapes or forms, this is the best trailer hands down, so freaking happy that I saved for her for a while !
As a huge Madoka fan, I gotta say this is one of my favorite trailers, loved the art style they choose to portrait Sparkle's "crazy" side (very similar with the style Gen Urobuchi used on the Witches labyrinths)
From my understanding, the Russian Roulette duel between White Mask (Sparkle) and Red Mask (likely Aha) was a fight for control. The White Masked Sparkle started out with a blank shot, the Red Mask then ate up 3 other blank shots before making the White Mask to shoot them with the last blank shot. With every blank shots gone, White Masked Sparkle was forced to shoot herself with the live bullet thus losing her the bet, right after that we saw the white mask turned into half red and white. Remember that the wager was "the life of a faker", which led me to believe that half of Sparkle's life is now in the hand of Aha and she can never truly be herself anymore
That just makes me remember the good old days of Vocaloid for some reason. Nevermind i looked at some to refresh my mind this looks like a nosedive straight into 2010s vocaloid, especially kikuo.
When the red mask Sparkle gave the gun to the white mask Sparkle, it gave the vibe of "you think you're mad? You haven't even reach the tip of madness"
God dayem, I knew Sparkle was unhinged but I didn't think she was that far unhinged... Tho, still staying strong for Acheron but good luck to those rolling for Sparkle
The part where Sparkle fights against the robots, I knew I heard it before and it was in Haxxor bunny promotional trailer! It was so familiar yet now that it took me a while to realise it 😂😂
Don't forget... The director overwork their art director for all this. Art Director in Honkai Starrail reporter be like "I'm going to murder this fool..."
Honestly the entire trailer is a kurumi refrence. Her design is like kurumi, her myriad celestia school girl outfit is similar to kurumi, her having various clones is like kurumi, her clones have different personalities like kurumi(each of kurumi's clone is herself in a different time, so each has the personality she had at that specific time), her laugh is like season 1 kurumi, she has a gun and shoots herself like kurumi, and you never know what she will do just like season 1-3 kurumi. In her myriad celestia trailer she asked who's the real sparkle, and in season 1 you basically had to find out who the real kurumi was because that was the only way to kill her. The last bit is like a madoka magica refrence with homura's witch transformation, which is kinda funny as homura has time powers just like kurumi and both are very similar, the concept of inversion in date a Live is the same as witch transformation in madoka magica and both came out around the same time.
Dude... Sparkle already grew on me ever since the drip marketing but she's actually nuts! She gives me heavy Kurumi vibes and i LOVE IT. I really don't know what to expect with her but after the teaser and the story, it seems like you could actually have some fun with her. By safe means? Probably not- #BeUnreal
Man, Hoyo just *had* to cook the hardest and make the best trailer yet for any of their game's characters (in my opinion) for the character I probably like the least so far in Star Rail. xD But, this trailer did cement one thing in my mind: there is no fixing her. Not because she is perfect as-is or anything like that, but because she is so fundamentally broken in her head that there is nothing left *to* fix. Easiest save in Star Rail yet. I just hope there are no good 4-stars on her banner, because I swear, Aha *would* give her to me on *the single* ten roll (which I usually do if I only want a 4-star character) and then laugh its metaphorical butt off.
The Madoka Magica “Witch” vibes are Very much here that I hope the worked with the illustrator for the series. Because it’s not just the visuals they are channeling here if you know what I mean. I hope everyone watches this short series at some point ❤ (some many thing Changed in the anime world because of that series did not holding any punches. Even in the first 3 episodes) But with Sparkle we are already in “Witches labyrinth“ 🎉
@@skijr581 Mobius is no where close, Mobius is a bit crazy but she's way too rational to come anywhere close to this. Sin Mal meanwhile has no actual depth to her craziness in Hi3 due to her irrelevance.
Look, I'm not a fan of Sparkle, but this trailer is absolutely stunning. From the colors to the music, and beautiful animation. I think this is one the best trailers yet, I hope we get more trailers like this! :D
the Sparkle pv even has references to ... It's incredible how much sht they're putting together --Warning: do not check the video if you are mentally ill or vulnerable/under age though youtube will warn you again...
As a Sparkle hater - I'm in shock. Trailer is insane in every way Wouldn't go as far to say that this is better than Kafka's, tho. Too short But I'm hyped AF for the Acheron trailer that one should just straight up be on par with HI3 PV's
AHA be like: look how happy my little idol is. she really took I's, the producer, lessons. if only she could have been the first playable path of Elation and not a Haha-rmony, I would pull. 😅
Hoyo pls stop making me want to summon 😢😢 Like my list just keeps on increasing i want jer now , topaz , achron , and fu xuan im dead And UD the first thumbnail you put featuring two characters is on point imao my first thought when i saw pictures on twitter , though sorry if its rude sad that she isnt voiced by her though sparkle voice actress did an amazing job
This one smoked Kafka's trailer for me, by far the best one yet
Yep, and Kafka's is still amazing, so that really says something
i agree i thought no trailer could beat kafka's lol
After seeing how hard they went with this the Hell is Archeron trailer going to look like.... or Sam they both deserve this lvl of trailer.
Yeah as a Kafka and BS simp and plan to skip Sparkle for Archeron, this trailer is just straight banger
True, Black Swan was on par with Kafka before, but Sparkle just broke the ceiling this time
Just kinda noticed here that the gun used in Russian roulette by the two Sparkle (one in red mask one in white mask) has 6 barrels with 1 filled.

Also that "insane" scene reminded me of that one anime. You know, the magical girl one.
Dreadful mascot, abomination, and loosing head?
You're talking about madoka magica right
Sparkle as a magical girl that harness the power of the witch ?
Kyubey will be proud
And here I was thinking to be the only one seeing Madoka Magica vibes.
Ohh God, I didn't notice about the masks colors
That is a good one
They're "safe" you say, and yet when flashbacks instantly to collapsed Sparkle bodies all over. Those *could* be the Sparkles that got shot before, but I like to think that every time a "blank" was fired still ended up with a "dead" Sparkle.

When sampo said he cant stand sparkle's elation... I can now see why 😂
Yup, definitely not wanna got on her bad side... Nope
@@nuhurrahman2861 you might not survive her good side either
The fact that she makes Sampo look like an upstanding guy by comparison is terrifying.

Ur cooking 🧑🍳
Hold on, you may just be onto something there...
Who is Aha
@@ronnachaiaramraks3336 Aha is the Aeon walking the path of Elation.
it's kinda suggested in the first trailer that she tried to "leave the stage" so... maybe
She don't need fixing, she can destroy me
true fr
She got them Kurumi vibe....holy...i love her
people be forgetting Madoka, man some of the scenes like de duplicating little dolls instant madoka vibes
yess!!! glad i’m not the only one who thought this
Same, but i think it ref for certain mv call manerol
so glad people know about Madoka! now for that 4th movie to actually release
Hoyo animators confirmed it. It was a homage to MARENOL@@jasonphan3669
Yep as soon as that part kicked in i was like.. madoka!
This trailer actually references two MVs by LeaF, Marenol and Ka. Pretty interesting choice by Hoyo considering the themes of those MVs.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought the same thing
Could u gimme the names of those mvs if u can?
@@albedo-sama9778 dude they're already in my comment

I mean she played russian roulette here, and she even said life is a play and she wants to quit so yea

Whenever Sparkle enters the stage, you'll know that she'll give you a show so captivating, you can't help but watch her every move.
When Kurumi became witch in Madoka Magica.
From my understanding, the Russian Roulette duel between White Mask (Sparkle) and Red Mask (likely Aha) was a fight for control.

Some folks may hate her, but I loved her since since she was dripped! This trailer just confirmed one thing... I AM SPARKLE!
Update. The animator from hoyo who made this said that this pv also a homage to Leaf's "MARENOL"
God dayem, I knew Sparkle was unhinged but I didn't think she was that far unhinged...
Tho, still staying strong for Acheron but good luck to those rolling for Sparkle
If she is not elation Eminator then i cant imagine how they are gonna be like, like DAMN this girl is crazy(-ω-；)
What an absolutely insane trailer. This thing easily ties with Kafka's.
The part where Sparkle fights against the robots, I knew I heard it before and it was in Haxxor bunny promotional trailer! It was so familiar yet now that it took me a while to realise it 😂😂
her trailer is INSANE omg!! i was planning on skipping her banner but now i’m having second thoughts…
The EN trailer was awesome to. Yanfei VA nailed it, and the "I am ELATION" gave me chills
Don't forget... The director overwork their art director for all this.
Art Director in Honkai Starrail reporter be like "I'm going to murder this fool..."
Interesting to see Herta reference here (which is also related to the clone / robots thing concept)…
She doesn't need fixing, she's PERFECT!
Why am I feel like in order to be happy (or elated), she "killed" her original personality to become "Sparkle"?
Yup. She and Kurumi will be besties
Honestly the entire trailer is a kurumi refrence.
Her design is like kurumi, her myriad celestia school girl outfit is similar to kurumi, her having various clones is like kurumi, her clones have different personalities like kurumi(each of kurumi's clone is herself in a different time, so each has the personality she had at that specific time), her laugh is like season 1 kurumi, she has a gun and shoots herself like kurumi, and you never know what she will do just like season 1-3 kurumi.

This is the best HSR trailer yet and its not even particularly close. Holy hell
He really got to include Acheron
One need to distract themselves from e6ing sparkle in someway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
budget goes hard on this one!!!!
I love her. Aha is my fav Aeon. I love the Masked Fools. And she is the right amount of crazy I love in my antagonist

listen to the CN version too, the laugh and beat drop there are perfect
The second half of the trailer reminded me on the marenol music video by optie animation
It only me, or the 3 Sparkles at the begining are Himeko, Welt (hand glasses) and March (with the phone) ??
Kurumi in Star Rail
Did UD react to her myriad celestia trailer?
This reminded me of the psychedelic unhinged anime openings like Mononoke.
This is like if Focalor was insane lunatic when remaning in Furinas head lol
Correct me if I'm wrong but there isn't someone in any hoyo games that comes her level of crazy
sin mal or mobius tbh
Vill V comes pretty close.
There are some actually

I'm in love with Kurumi, thus I'm also in love with Sparkle.
Sparkle trailer reminds me of Witches in Madoka magica
Look, I'm not a fan of Sparkle, but this trailer is absolutely stunning. From the colors to the music, and beautiful animation. I think this is one the best trailers yet, I hope we get more trailers like this! :D
This one definitely second best trailer for sure right behind Kafka's but holy shit Sparkle is insane i love her!😩😩😩

Btw, shaoji means rotisserie chicken in Chinese. And I applaud the last scene
4:20 i believe you're thinking of ME!ME!ME!
and casually dropping 3 new enemies
she cooked shaoji at the table. shes good
From ganyu to this.. ueshama is crazy talented what the fuck.
HSR nailed it again, Man. I'm still waiting for Firefly's
I'm still trying to catch up tho
What in the fudge did i just witness....
I thought my drink was spiked 😵💫
This couldn't have been a better trailer for the gremlin
we are going to Tomorrowland with this music LOL
The mandalas give heavy Madoka vibes
i noticed her real self by just the mask alone hahaha. found her!
u should check out afk journey, they also have character teasers and the animation was awesome
Also The acid trap part reminds me so much of Madoka Magica
As a Sparkle hater - I'm in shock. Trailer is insane in every way
Wouldn't go as far to say that this is better than Kafka's, tho. Too short
But I'm hyped AF for the Acheron trailer that one should just straight up be on par with HI3 PV's
parts of it reminds me of LeaFs songs and animations like Marenol.
Best Trailer Character for me
1. Kafka
2. Sparkle
Her demo is addicting omg...
20 minute "you missed this in the sparkle trailer incoming"
The songs so catchy
This trailer make me think that Firefly and robin is actually sparkle clone and they still alive somewhere
4:20 Yes it is "ME!ME!ME!"
We saw her take the form of Acheron... Imagine if she was in fact the one who killed Ifrit ?
That trailer Tickled My "FUNNY BONE".
The latter part of the trailer reminds me of kikuo's dance of the frogs
to anyone whos saying " I can fix her " nah you're lying to yourselves
I just realized she's basically unhinged veliana an unhinged Hu Tao or if the two had a kid😅😮
Damn you fast!
Man...she must be the Aha Emanator o_o
White mask might be Sparkle, red is, as she say, Elation (Aha), both colors could be the emanator.
Only the best for our first member of the Mask Fools
They went HARD for Sparkles trailer, in my opinion this beat Kafka's by FAR.
It’s always funny to see your eyes get wide.
It's giving Kurumi was reincarnated into Vanitas and joined the Charlatan's Parade
Went from Persona to Madoka Magicka real quick 😂
Holy shit this video popped off lmao
Star Rail teaching everyone a valuable lesson.
Never trust a theatre kid.
Best trailer 🫵
They are some manerol mv element here, for those who cannot watch gore pls do not search the video
I really love the beat❤❤❤
This whole thing felt like a kikuo music video
It have some Madoka and Magical Destroyer vibes
I don't have a thing for crazy people but damn
AHA be like: look how happy my little idol is. she really took I's, the producer, lessons.
if only she could have been the first playable path of Elation and not a Haha-rmony, I would pull.

it's like watching Jhin's vision too.
now Aventurine's and Acheron's. Can they keep up?
