When you realize Robin's song matches Penacony story (almost) | Hope Is the Thing With Feathers

- Penacony arc really was an emotional roller-coaster ride. Remember that Shaoji told us it's a "heartwarming story", Misha is "just a bellboy" and Gallagher being the "most ordinary person in Penacony".
********************************************************
@boeman6702 explained the lyrics so well that I had to put it here:
"Heads up!" because you need to "wake up" from the dream. "Heads up!" because there is light at the end of the tunnel. In a sense, these lines are pointed at Sunday.
Sunday wants an endless dream where no one could be harmed: a paradise. Robin's answer to this is Freedom from the Order, symbolized by the Astral Express. "The wheels are spinning across the plains in valleys deep to dawn: the wheels that sing an unending dream." She believes in a future where we can all claim our fate and attain our own happiness: that is her endless dream---a paradise.
Sunday faced the darkness of the world, and that the strong would always win over the weak. He firmly believes that evil will always prevail and that this world is shrouded in darkness. To this, Robin replies that the world is never set in stone, that our future is always changing, and that the world isn't just in darkness. "Heads up! The tracks are running across the plains where shadows hide. We run! We stride!"
Essentially, "Hope is a thing with feathers" is Robin's answer to Sunday's own answer. Where Sunday favored control and stagnation to protect the weak, Robin sang of a train that races across the plains and the wheels of a clock that forever ticks forward to the future. Where Sunday hides in cowardice, Robin sings to face it like a train that runs across the plains until the shadows cannot catch up.
It's the antithesis of Sunday's entire philosophy. It's even more emphasized in the lyrics. Sunday always speaks of him being the "ONE" and "ONLY" sun in the sky. Meanwhile, Robin's song is sung in the plural "WE."
He is the Order, and she is the Harmony.

Since many requested (some quite persistently lol), here's a version with JP voice overs: ruclips.net/video/-TemPohBQwA/видео.html
Fingers crossed for many more peak stories in HSR 🥹
Would you be willing to make a Chinese version too? I know it'd be a ton of work, but it'd be so good! Watching the EN and JP versions was amazing, but they just don't give me the same feel as the CN dub does.
Now use my man please 🎉
The “I cried” button is right here.
clicked 🔥🔥
My eyes run out of -ANYTHING- when I lost 50/50 and 160 pulls Robin and also lost 50/50 Topaz==(
I’m definitely doing my best not to, but it’s very hard. 🥹🥹🥹
the END of penacony story.
I would hit this “I cried” button everytime I came back and watch this
I can't lie, I almost teared up when I saw the feather while screaming Robin's name like a fangirl. 😭
This is so true, I actually teared up and was so in awe that others thought I was an emo kid
You know me too..... I always suppress my emotions or rather say learned how to hide emotions but somehow I also cried
(Believe me or not, even in fontaine's archon quest I didn't cry)
Me too bro 😭 this last piece of penacony really shake me to the core ❤
nah me too bro. was waiting for her to just start singing a banger during a crucial moment and then we got it
I thought it was a Fu Hua ref😭😭
"penacony's first and last disharmony" "we rise together as our destiny unfolds" hits hard when you realize she meant trailblazers 💔
wish i can redo the story this gonna be the only story i would do if i could
Would be so nice if they actually made a "replay" mode for stories.. we don't even have the Story Archive like Genshin to listen to voicelines again
It's like she made the song specifically for the Trailblazers.
@@R4GNAR0G she did also you can notice we got a free trail HMC when Sunday boss fight that hmc have totally have different voice line than the free one we got to play on other matches that free HMC say "LISTEN TO OUR SONG" when you use the power using the skill points that means robin actually made song for us
Cute detail that I saw
Trailblazer, during the earlier parts on the story takes out the Bat curio when threatened but after firefly's "death" she uses the Lance more often. Kind of a nod to their character development of protecting the others
She dropped the bat, wasn't as fast as the "rocket-powered" lance 🫢
What good is a weapon of Destruction if you can't even hit the target?
At least with this Lance... I have a chance.
Also XIpes eyes are OPEN when she notices the traveler and Sunday facing off. Her art before that they were closed like she is sleeping.. She was FULLY WATCHING the outcome of ENA trying to come back to life. SHE WAS AWAKE.
Uh, it's "Trailblazer", not "Traveler". "Traveler" is Genshin's protag. "Trailblazer" is Star Rail's protag. And "Dreamseeker" is Honkai Impact 3rd main story part 2's protag.
@@zigazav1🤓👆
@@joshuaiscool5645 it’s true tho
Woah I too noticed it only after reading your comment. Nice catch!
xipe is not dead right? Can dead Aeons still glance on a person?
Misha's scene, and the scene where Robin hugged Sunday both had me in tears. The adventure on Penacony was an amazing one.
Me too.. mannn what a ride of emotions
When Gallagher was talking to Milkhail after the Astral Fam finally learned about the truth and he goes along the lines of "Once the lies has been seen and the truth comes out, us enigmatas will also disappear." and with sobbing voice AT 2 AM I was like "No... Not you too Gallagher 😭😭😭😭"
The final straw was when Gallagher said "For the imperfect tomorrow". Bro I ugly cried.
Forcing the player to send misha off fucked me uppp
i actually pushed my phone away upon seeing the empty wheelchair
Also TB farewell to archeron get me teared up 😢
Shaoji, the Aeon of Enigmata and Foreshadowing
And Gaslighting
I love it and i hate him so much too AKJDAJAJA I screamed never to let him cook again and was also one of the first to grovel back and said he really deserves those cooking rights. Keep us wrapped around your finger Shaoji
I will never forget what Shaoji said about Gallagher... "Gallagher just... he just ordinary officer"
@@mimithelion"The most ordinary person in penacony"
@@Sam-je2xj there was only 2 4star characters from penacony for now.. at the beginning shaoji said that "misha just a bellboy and Gallagher only ordinary officer" turned out that the 2 of them become one of important characters for the story. I don't want to believe everything that guy say anymore 🙂
"Victory is found" *points at Acheron*
Yeah, Acheron carried our ass.
Imagine Acheron isn't here, nobody could fill her role.. we got Black Swan but maybe even she couldn't beat Aventurine's "domain expansion" 🤔
dont forgot there sparkle to make sure sunday plan wont be true even if archeron fail, remember what sparkle gave to all people in penacony it will explode if they activate the button and they will wake up from a dream so sparkle is like there to garantee everyone will be saved

When you realize this song and "white night" are the same 'song' but from Robin's and Sunday's perspectives
That's right!
I'm dumb, please elaborate...
I thought White Night was about Aventurine
@@bluedragon1181 same ...white night is more aventurines song
Here before it blows up!
0:41 Face the darkness (we didn't know Sunday will be the final boss)
0:47 shadows of despair (Acheron's past)
1:01 glimse through our eyes
1:18 wheels spinning (nice cards spin)
1:40 RUN with firefly!!!
1:48 in the face of fear
2:02 storms & light
2:11 Break free - acheron unleashing (just wow)
3:29 see the light of day
Aaaand all the "Heads up!" 10/10
The heads up could also be kinda referring to the pose he takes as he’s about to unleash his final attack
3:56 "In the face of God we rose, as one." is that talking about how we teamed up with everyone at the end?
@@danalynch118 I feel like that's the reach. "Head's up" is what she's telling the listener to do.
"Heads up!" because you need to "wake up" from the dream. "Heads up!" because there is light at the end of the tunnel. In a sense, these lines are pointed at Sunday.
Sunday wants an endless dream where no one could be harmed: a paradise. Robin's answer to this is Freedom from the Order, symbolized by the Astral Express.

@@boeman6702 probably but I enjoy the thought
I knew sunday was the final boss the moment i first laid my eyes on him.
Bro cooked the best Penacony edit and thought we wouldn't notice
Misha speech at 2:45 along with the music almost make me cry 😔
This is the best edit I've ever seen that encapsulates the story of Penacony. Thank you for this!
I was surprised the official EP released only covered 2.2 scenes so I made it with the whole story. Thanks for watching! 😇
I really like you include this cutscene and her "woah vocals" on 0:00-0:30 as intro to her song before the actual start of the song ( i really wish those "woah" vocals was on the official since its a really good start ) and adding those quotes on 2:47 - 3:16 as well.
This really elevates the song EVEN BETTER
I'm actually surprised it wasn't in the official version... Robin's "woah~" intro really hit me hard in the story when she appeared
Fr fr!
The way Acheron grab our hand is the same vibe as honkai impact 3rd how she grab Kiana's arm when she's fall
0:55 i just noticed that Sam/FF wasn't trying to hurt the trailblazer, she was trying to grab and kidnap him/her and take it somewhere else
Now that you tell me that; it does look like Sam's grip looked "innocent" or "help" like. It just FEELS like the hand formation just is SAM wanting to protect TB, a gentle and steady form; ready to protect what they love. It doesn't look or feel malicious, it just looks peaceful with no malicious intent.
TLDR: SAM hand no mean harm, just want protect TB
@@Hanaaa1 yeah, which later emphasized by FF herself after we woke up in Dreamflux reef, that if there were no BS and Acheron she would've revealed her secret to TB in this moment.
@@LeviAckerman-kv3ee Ah. Just didn't want BS or Acheron to learn about her true identity... Interesting
Also, i am no lore player as i fucking skip spam dialogue but i can theorize and digest as much lore from yt vids as i can. So that's why i know that happened lmaoo
iirc she tried to go against the script there but couldn't
The will of Akivili The will of Trailblazing The will of the weak The will of the Dreams The will to never give up The will of the Harmony The will to fight back The will to protect The will to loves The will of life and The will of Hopes
projest stigma but with refined and polished story telling that is penacony, they even use many many sountrack and refrence from HI3 in this one, this reason why saoji tell us that from some of you who folow us from a long time the story of penacony will give a familliar feeling
kudos to Shaoji's team! he did reveal in the stream that it's gonna be "positive, wholesome & heartwarming", but they brought us through a whole roller coaster ride of emotions to get there
And abit of the "Theater of Domination" arc too. With the whole theater stage thing, puppets being present in some way. At least we don't have to fight through puppets to get to the boss, and the boss not having any malicious intent. Herrscher of Domination preyed on the weak's insecurity and pains for it's own benefit. Sunday, although serving the role of a villain, he harbored no evil intent. He was merely misguided by his own desire to stop people's suffering, and was willing to sacrifice people's free will to eliminate that suffering. A certain villain of an unrelated game also had a similar mindset to end people's suffering, and was willing for any price to be paid to eliminate that suffering. Though in that villain's case, he was trying to erase the negative emotions in people to reach that goal, no matter the price anyone had to pay to reach that desired conclusion.
Fr! I was just going ‘this is about the birds again isn’t it it’s about the birds’, got major flashback to Kevin and project stigma the whole time
dude i felt like the whole of penacony, and especially this patch, was a nod to HI3. as you stated, we got the soundtracks/OSTs during those final acheron dialogues, along with the dream aspect of project stigma (adam's dream i believe?). yet we also got the Acheron name reveal being Raiden Mei, and her trailer had those swords corresponding to herrscher powers, in their respective orders of appearance too. plus that lament of the fallen reference right before the final bossfight, and like the guy above me mentioned, the Herrscher of Domination reference too. oh and this may be just a personal thing, but firefly's splash art reminds me of the first complete transformation into Herrscher of Flamescion during "Everlasting flames", when Kiana was flying and held the sword in front of her, and i believe she had flames blowing out from her (kinda hard to explain, my b). but yeah, so many HI3 references that make me so excited to see where the story goes, along with seeing how it becomes a true honkai game with the possible honkai energy and all that
@@arospaceengineer honkai energy exist in HSR but it has diffrent names people in HSR called honkai energy as imaginary energy, if you have enough of it you can ascend to aeon hood, because aeon is made from imaginary energy
How is this not have many likes already the scene of the battle and moments all fits perfectly 😭
I can only hope YT's algorithm decides to show it to more people 🥹
Can you make the same version with caelus instead of Stelle? Would be nice

“Fools blind our sights”😂😂😂
not gonna lie. robin's intro + the train coming out of the stars looks so spectacular.
I got robins trailer as an ad, and I thought it was the vid
“Yet fools blind our sights” is 100% referencing sparkles red herrings
Pretty sure they meant adventurine but hey both work kek
@@toukoenriaze9870 “fools” masked fool sparkle?
Doing Sunday's boss fight made me remember why I love this game. For me the first major moment that I fell in love with the game was Cocolia's boss fight. hearing the beat drop of Wildfire and feeling the sparks of the preservation's flames rekindling showing the will of Belobog's people. Their will to live. Then when we went back to see them and Topaz was there. The fires of preservation started to burn brighter, the people of Belobog will fight for their home together. Then when we got to Sunday's boss fight the will of the harmony, even those who aren't a part of the family. They all had a singular goal, even if life is hard it's still worth living. The good and the bad make us who we are, to me Ena's dream was dormancy. Nothing bad would happen so no one would grow as a person. How I view the harmony is people from any walk of life coming together for a singular goal. Which is exactly what the Express crew and their allies did, they didn't make the choice for everyone on Penacony to wake up. But they guided them in the end it was the choice of the people to wake from Ena's dream. I can't wait until we visit the rest of the Xianzhou ships, because yeah we had the grand fight with Phantylia but we haven't had a grand moment that really shows what the hunt is about. I can't wait to see what crazy journey the express takes us on next
Im so mad that they dont include the voice lines for the train on Sunday's bossfight anymore that shit was as great when paired with the music,
and I def hope to hear more of Robin/Chevy if they are gonna keep using robin in the future
I feel like watching a Movie trailer just now

YOUR EDITING IS SO GOOD!! Don’t mind me crying my eyes out 🥹🥹🥹
Penacony story is almost so nostalgic like a fever dream and that that’s so fitting, isn’t?
Thanks! 😊 yes it really was a nice dream that I wished I could stay in forever, but the story taught us to wake up 🤣

Honkai Star Rail keeps making really strong stories and implementing memorable music tracks at the best times, first with Wildfire in Belabog and now this song in Penacony
I like you put that ohhhh in the start ❤❤❤
❣❣❣
it really matches well as the intro, hit me hard in the story when Robin appeared
Man...they really cooked hard with Penacony...damn
The one and only time I’ll actually get to hear this in English.
i really hope shaoji keep making hsr story
Fingers crossed!
I am full on crying!
This is such a beautiful way to remember the ups and downs of this story. In all of the Honkai story I've seen thus far: Gakuen, Impact, Star Rail- this might be MiHoYo's best arc yet. I am so happy I got to experience it together this time.
This was great! Just one thing about the description- Stelle is voiced by Rachel Chau and Caleb Yen is the voice actor for Caelus
Ahh thanks for pointing that out, I pasted both names but deleted the wrong one earlier 😂
Thank you for this editing! It was beautiful. Good work!

Thanks!! Glad you liked it 😇
This is sooo well edited!!
So many amazing moments, both exciting and sad...! I didn't know what to do with the lore at first but it made sense when you got to the end and I was deeply touched by how everything unfolds... Lets say I had no idea what would actually happen or who was what etc.
This edit captures those amazing moments perfectly...!! ♥
Shaoji's team did such a great job on the plot & storytelling 🥹 all the suspense and emotions we went through... looking forward to the next chapter!

Yes! I finally found a video with the intro vocals and the full song as well! Thank you!
I got goosebumps ❤❤❤
Penacony might not be peak story telling, it has issues with pacing and clutter, but This is the peak emotional investment I've had in a fictional story. as far as I'm considered this story might as well be real somewhere out there.
Amazing vid!
TBH some parts of the story made me feel there's too many words to read🤣
Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
😭😭😭😭😭 I haven't even played the game and i'm already crying-
oh no 🫣 sorry for the spoilers
But do you mean you have not played 2.2 or the entire Penacony arc?
this honestly feels like the full version of the song
Damn, nice edits.
This story's climax was so unbelievably hype, i forget the last time i genuinely jumped up from my seat and screamed out in excitement
THIS MUSIC VIDEO IS FIRE
penacony is so fire
NICE EDITT, PENACONY ARE PEAKING!
