    In Final Lesson, Kiana lost someone dear to her. She couldn't even attempt to stop it.
    In Lament of the Fallen, she lost someone dear to her again. And even with all her power, could do nothing yet again. This would be the last time she lost someone.
    In Shattered Samsara, she nearly lost something dear to her yet again. And this time, she ordered Fate to give back what she lost. and fate obliged.
    In Everlasting Flame, Kiana looked at all she stood to lose. And she said no. And she fought for her friends, for her loved ones. She fought for all that was beautiful in the world. And she won.

    Every single one of HI3's animations are special... but being Kiana is ultimately the protagonist (while Bronya and Mei are for the most part deuteragonists), there's just something extra special about Everlasting Flames. This one closes out the arc in which Kiana undergoes her most significant character growth, growth necessary for what ultimately happens in Graduation Trip. Plus, while she ultimately has to say goodbye to Himeko, she still lives on inside of Kiana - and that is so apparent from Everlasting Flames and the Herrscher of Flamescion suit. Honestly, you should watch Final Lesson and Everlasting Flames together - just about everything Kiana does, and even the things she says, in Everlasting Flames are the things that Himeko said to Kiana in Final Lesson. Two years later and this one still hits the feels.

    Kiana fighting in _Everlasting Flames_ directly reflects Himeko fighting in _Final Lesson_ . In addition, some of the lyrics in _Moon-Halo_ , which also became an anthem for players, answer lyrics from previous songs. As Kiana truly becomes the Flame Scion, a whole story arc truly comes to a close.
    The Legion Herrscher of Domination that Kiana fights is a personification of depression. Not only is it very pervasive, but it is also relentless, throwing wave after wave of dark thoughts and impulses at those who have it. Only with friends and family to support you can you hope to pull through, by being even more relentless, and yet open and flexible, than the depression itself. And yet, it is always with you after, waiting for you to slip up. Fighting depression isn't a one-off, it's a process, and you have to be okay with that or you can't keep winning.

    A year ago I finally managed to play this entire arc in around one sitting. While I had braced myself for the waterworks that veteran players tend to joke about and had already heard this song out of context, finally experiencing this piece at this point of the game was such a powerful emotional catharsis that made me respect all the love and strong shared feelings Everlasting Flames & Moon Halo have been experienced by so many people. Such beautifully written lyrics.
    Those feelings are real. The voice actors (especially CN Kiana’s & Himeko’s) felt it, the singers did as well, the very first audience who watched the released animation live shed tears at the Bilibili expo it aired felt it (you can find footage of them wiping their tears and cheering when it aired), a fan who was at the hospital wrote to the writers their gratitude to allowing this anthem of hope triumphing loss and despair to exist as they faced their own. It’s such a powerful ballad to hope and crystalizes the core message of HI3’s “fighting for all the beauty in this world”.
    Weeks earlier before playing this arc, I had suddenly lost an artist friend from college I looked up to, a high fever burned his brilliant life away. I did what I could to hold a brave front in honor of the legacy this friend left for me and our college friends who were inspired to do their best work with the support of someone like him. Honkai’s characters have all faced losses of some sort and it has shaped them to choose different things they value due to it and thus drives what they do next and that’s probably why I could connect with them. Enter this moment. I didn’t expect how much this story and this song would become very healing at a time I likely needed to hear it the most.
    It helps that shortly before this sequence plays out, the Honkai writers managed to actually make me let loose my tears of suppressed grief when Kiana gets to meet with a certain someone she looked up to and who simply said “saying goodbye to the past is the first step towards the future” on top of other several, beautifully healing words before Kiana makes her triumphant victory against the Legion Herrscherr who thrived off despair. A beautiful story of moving on. What a triumphant climax to this story arc.
    The way this song calls back to that phrase as well as other meaningful moments from previous songs as this highlight of Kiana’s journey works so well because of what was set before it. I love it when video game music gets to do this to allow a key moment to soar higher and let it all out. Thank you for finally reacting to this, Marco!

    @Izbiski_ Год назад +14

    The pain and happiness that emanates from Moon Halo is tied to both Kiana's journey and our journey with her as the Captain. It's doubly reinforced by the echoing of past songs, being a reply and succession to all the pleas and hopes that Honkai World Diva, Starfall, Nightglow, and Rubia contain, and therein all the emotion that Mei, HImeko, Fu Hua and Kiana show towards Kiana's duty as a Valkyrie. It is a resolution to all her loved ones that she will be the Moon to guide those in this dark night, that she will never leave Himeko behind, that she will find a better future for Fu Hua, and to turn Mei's lament into a carol. This statement of duty is different from her previous resolutions that were fueled by depression and the seeming need of self sacrifice, it's fueled by a want to preserve the happiness and joy, what little there might be left in this nearly broken world. The lyrics echoing past songs hits doubly hard as the animation doubles that of Himeko in Final Lesson, and by the end of the first part of the story, it's showcased that Kiana knows that this resolution might not end in precisely the same way, but it will also echo that of Himeko's end.

    Holy shit, that was bleak. I wandered in with zero context and could immediately feel the sadness... which was before you showed us the video. I didn't have to understand any of the words to know just how depressing that was. Very emotional and intense video. Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to go cry.

    I honestly believe it was a peak of honkai.
    The song is special and became even more when the war started. Even though we call it a depression, for me it feels more like hope - you finally accept state of things no matter how bad they're and just continue striving to the better place. Don't really believe I'll be able to survive till the end. And yet, thanks to the stories of honkai and pgr, there's still a hope that maybe, just maybe it won't be worthless. I might be the highest price we will ever pay. And yet...
    May all the beauty be blessed.

    I'll always love this song and this game. Everything about Kiana's journey has made me feel something, good and bad.
    I was stuck in a deep depression for so many years, and then I decided to try out Honkai Impact 3rd. I won't lie and say it magically made everything better, but it helped me see a lot of things, things I needed to see and hear to get myself out of my own mind.
    Thank you, Kiana, for protecting the beauty of this world.
    (Can't wait to see your future Honkai content!

    Finally, I've been waiting for this ever since I found your channel, now you see why this song was sooo requested. It actually resonates with a lot of people, especially those who've played the game foor a long time, it's like the conclusion of her character development arc, and even though Da Capo is the end of part 1 Moon Halo is the culmination of everything that happened to Kiana thus far.
    My favorite part of th son is actually one that you didn't mention, "A shoulder for the past let out the cries imprisioned for so long", I think we all need that sometimes.

    This song and Animation is just hope for me. In 2020-2021 was the most depressing year for me welp for most of people too i think... Everyday there's always a suicidal thoughts and self depreciation. Im still in college and my paper meet bottleneck... Frustrated... I start to smoking... But it lead to even depression... Until this animation short come. It like speak to me personally the lyric... The dialogue in the animation gave me strength to rise back and finish it all... Giving up isnt an option, afterall... Im an Idiot and an idiot... Never give up
    May The Fire Of Hopes Guides us All

    A game ended up giving characters infinitely more character development in a beautiful and fulfilling way, Honkai Impact is so beautiful, not because its visually pleasing, but the story blloms like a beautiful flower that you have invested so much time into, it makes it satisfying to see, I would argue this story is better that 90% of anime and I would not complain if Honkai Impact was adapted into a full fledged anime with minimal changes to the story.

    This July this song will be 2 years old. No matter how many times I watch, I always burst into tears. I've pretty much played this game since global launch I've been with Kiana since the beginning, to watch her grow into who she was when this launched, brought tears to my eyes. May all the Beauty be Blessed.

  • @niffleraku
    @niffleraku Год назад +3

    You cannot believe the amount of tears shed by the fandom when the story update for this dropped, throughout the game you witness all of kiana's trials and tribulations and this felt like such a triumphant moment, like all the suffering she's been through has made her such a beautifully strong person. I started getting goosebumps when i realized the singers for this song were all singers for the individual character songs for her friends too so you could really feel that all of kiana's friends stood behind her

    Moon Halo is such a powerful song that feels fulfilling and emotional. Thank you for reacting to this song Opera Uncle. I do hope you get to this part of the story in the game.
    Fun Fact: if you have played Honkai Star Rail, you can find HI3 Himeko's broken sword. And when you use HSR Himeko to interact with the sword it will have an extended dialogue.
    "She was reborn in the fire, She was smiling in the fire."
    Which, for me, is a reference to this animation Everlasting Flame.
    Another Fun fact: added layers for this song.
    The song was performed by Tetracalyx, Hanser and Chalili.
    How is this related?
    Chalili sang Reburn, the theme used in the first animation that featuring Kiana.
    Hanser is Bronya' CN VA
    Tetracalyx is a long time composed for Hoyo, also originally voiced Raiden Mei in the CN dub.

    This game music is just incredible. As someone who hasn't really felt the pain of losing someone close to me, It still made me feel loads of emotions. And that is because, music can be a way to communicate in a way. Even if i didn't understood every of the lyrics of the song, there was still that message that was conveyed and that reached to my heart. That is what i call a masterpiece in Video game music.

    Also you see what you can accomplish with the help of your friends and what friendship is cappable of

    The magic of Honkai Impact, is that you can see this scene, or other like Final Lesson, alone without knowing ANYTHING about the HI story, and you will connect with the characters and their feelings the same that if you know it.
    When you see Everlasting Flames, or heard Moon Halo, after knowing Final Lesson, Lament of the Fallen and Shattered Samsara, your feelings simply collapse and explode.
    Imagine the ones that played the history from the begining, and reach this scene for the first time...

It pays homage to previous animations and songs while moving past it just like Kiana did. It genuinely was super moving seeing this for the first time as we finally witnessed the climax of Kiana's development. Just an amazing song that perfectly encapsulates the story of Honkai and Kiana

    Idk if you noticed, but starting 8:22, Kianna's fight against HoD started mirroring Himeko's fight with HoV. From Kianna reiterating Himeko's line before she started finally attacking, to after her transformation to HoFS where her "meteor strike" also mirrored Himeko's
    So it really was as if Himeko was reborn through Kianna in this moment 🥲

    With a regular song, you just watch it and be done with it
    With a great song, you pause to appreciate how good it is
    With this song, you simply forget to pause because how beautiful it is!!! To interrupt it would be wrong.
