    jesus I sounds so cranky in the recording. i should not have filmed this after losing the 50/50 for acheron and then losing the 75/25 on her weapon but oh well. Honkai Star Rail 2.1 dropped and the New Trailblaze Story Quest featuring Penacony mission called The Devil in Velvet was a bit of a banger obviously chalked full with exciting lore, in it we learned more about the deaths of robin and firefly, gained some insight into acheron motives, and perhaps even saw Sundays death towards the end of the game. gallagher somehow despite being a 4 star became the most important character. robin looks to still be alive, and firefly is sam and we saw boothill and the everflame mansion come into play, jade has made an appearance and we learned alot about aventurine lore and his story. and guys please dont leaks anything in the comments. yes i saw the robin and boothill gameplay leaks, they look sick I get it, but les have some class fellas

    19:55 spoilers I guess :
    This part basically refers to when the trio had to fight Kevin and also end his plan of project stigma. Project stigma was basically combining all of humanity and becoming the spiritual Adam. Those in this state suffered no pain and basically didn’t want to leave because thing was way too good,eventually as said before becoming one entity. The only way to stop project stigma was to defeat Kevin or something( I haven’t rewatched that part because it’s a lot of philosophical stuff that I’m not willing to digest again ). Anyway in the end mei( Honkai impact lookalike to Acheron ) , bronya and kiana fight him with the help of the captain and win, kiana ends up as the Herrscher of finality and they live happily ever after because they defeated or befriended the other Herrschers ( because of elysia and Prometheus) . Here in the hsr timeline Acheron probably fought Kevin alone ( and probably succeeded) inheriting the power of finality and standing as the lone survivor ( because it’s hinted that the previous Herrschers killed everyone else( and themselves too) , and that no elysia was there to hijack the system), explaining why Acheron is the way she is. I hope this helps!

    the answer acheron gave avernturine is actually rather deep. she tells him it's pointless to give him an answer because the answer differs depending how he treads his journey. and i think that is what nihility is really about. it pointless to seek for meaning out there in the world because meaning comes from within

      tbh, i believe nihility still has "NO POINT" as an aeon of nothingness.
      but the "points" made are simply a subsequent facet of sapient beings, ultimately, making an answer for themselves. like, nihility isn't the space of nothingness in the void. but the objects, light, and energy AROUND that void that make it apparent.

      It actually stems from one of the reads you can take from real nihilism. If nothing has meaning or purpose in itself, that means each person is free to give their own meaning and purpose in life. After all, if everything is meaningless, the thought of it is also meaningless.

    I already loved Aventurine but learning his backstory made me respect him so much; it actually made me tear up a bit ngl. He's been through a lot since a young age and the quest descriptions in the mission tab for his quests absolutely broke my heart.
    And the note Ratio left him was everything. People may gloss it over but Ratio telling him to stay alive and good luck brought back Aventurine's will to live. That little soft laugh when he realised that someone actually cared about him 😭

This means, that the team isn't afraid to fool us into thinking people are one faction before we get a twist ending for them and they are shown to be a different one.

    To explain the Welt and Acheron scene as best I can as a Hi3rd player.
    Humanity gets put through a test (Honkai/Herrschers) ending with Finality, and to transcend finality means to pass this test.
    In Honkai Impact 3rd Kevin Kaslana and his group called the Flamechasers (Previous Era) tried and failed at the head of finality and basically humanity was destroyed and reset, with only a few of the Flamechasers surviving, with their last hope being a series of contingiency plans called PROJECTs. In this new era (Current Era) Kiana Kaslana, Raiden Mei, Bronya (trio) and friends overcome all the Herrschers and eventually come up against finality, where Kevin was enacting the Flamechasers final plan PROJECT STIGMA. PROJECT STIGMA is the event that Welt is referring to in his talk with Acheron. In the end the trio defeat Kevin, Kiana takes the mantle of Finality and they transcend with the power of friendship and hope and all live happy ever after.
    When Acheron says "I killed that man alone" she is essentially saying that in her universe she killed Kevin (Herrscher of Finality/ the Male voice in the Myriad Trailer) transcended Finality alone, with her friends all presumed dead or never had existed (she confirms to at least have had a Kiana after her interaction with Stelle in 2.0). And unlike Honkai 3rd where transcending Finality allowed their world to continue to survive and develop, Acheron instead found nothing but the All-Devouring Black Hole (IX) and fell into Nihility. In essense shes a "bad ending" Raiden Mei, where not only did she lose all her friends, after the years of struggle against the opposition all that was waiting for her was the emptiness of IX.
    Depressingly enough, despite this she still has some modicum of hope/purpose, as stated in the flashback where she was stated to "still have some color, albeit faint"
    probably missed a ton of stuff but honkai 3rd is so transcendentally complicated that floating by on vibes is good enough

      Gonna add on about the Otto info. The biggest role he played was the creation of K-423 (Kiana clone/MC) and set her path to essentially become the hero. Otto was basically playing the role of the villain with the hopes that the people (Kiana and her friends) will defeat the Honkai. Something he wasn't able to do during his time. He did this while also achieving his goal on becoming free from the Imaginary Tree and creating a universe where Kallen survived (Basically her death was a canon event and he broke that)
      Extra Character Background:
      Otto has a one-sided love for his childhood friend, Kallen, but because the era they lived in was heavily corrupted/he didn't hold enough power, she was killed. Out of grief and failure to protect his love, he spent the next 500+ years developing and manipulating a plan that would allow him to save Kallen.
      Eventually, he found a way that required using Kiana's Herrscher of the void power and Bianka's (the original Kiana) fully awakened stigmata to open a path towards the imaginary tree. He needed the sisters' combined power otherwise it would never work. To do that, he lied to them making everyone believe he was going to delete their timeline giving them a reason to fight him. After that, it's Thus Spoke Apocalypse with Otto sacraficing himself for Kallen.
      There's some stuff that I left out but the big gist is he created Kiana who plays a huge role on defeating Kevin (imo, Kevin boss fight was really just a test to see if Kiana, Mei, and Bronya have what it takes to face and overcome Finality. He wasn't going all out.)

      Though we’re unsure if Kevin was the Bearer of End, or if that was Kiana, and Acheron killed Kevin after Kiana’s downfall and/or death. It could later recontextualise a lot of stuff, like if Acheron killed Kiana or Kiana just, like, died in some way, since we apparently remind her of either Kevin or Kiana - so her killing both of them would make thematic sense.

    Aventurine was indeed born being blessed with good luck... at the expenses of the lives of his loved ones, his birth was marked with a rain, which was lucky (cause they lived on a desert), and another rain that gave the Katican a chance to strike which for whatever reason was considered good luck by his sister. That's the reason why he hates rain, "ruining his expensive clothes" is nothing but a pittiful excute.
    Being born with this kind of "blessing" has made his very own existence meaningless, when "the dices are weighted and destiny is predetermined", there's no point of looking forwards to anything, it's the source of his very unique charateristic: "all or nothing".
    Up until the final boss fight I couldn't get the hang of his thoughts and actions, and the metaphor of his past and future really added up to the confussion. But after the battle was his motives clear, all was just as planed and fate was on his side again, he won another gamble and reached the desired outcome (the IPC finally gets involved). To that point that I realized the brilliance of the image of young Aventurine, it's a mirror to reflect the peak of the charater's development, as he spoke with Acheron about the meaning of life.
    Tbh the multi-narrative story quest sometimes interrupted my immersion and I was pretty downed for that, but I loved to see so many sides of the story, like putting together pieces of a puzzle, it's just that I think it could be executed better. Nonetheless the writting of the Penacony is literally at the peak of HSR.

    When Gallagher says he's Thirteen, it's capitalized so it must be some kind of title and not his age, its kinda weird he'd say that in response to being asked his age tho so idk what thats about lol. Alot of people say thirteen corresponds to the Death tarot card and I think there's some merit to that :0 Death is usually a misunderstood card and it doesn't refer to physical death but more so transformation. In the upright state, its about letting go of the past and accepting new change. In the reversed state however, it suggests that there is resistance to accepting new change and that one might be holding onto the past too closely. I think its interesting because Gallagher talks about Penacony's past and laments that he'll never see the old Penacony as he remembers. He still clings onto that time period and especially does not like the current Penacony that parades the watchmaker but treats him as a shameful stain in history.
    Maybe its a little bit of a reach but I think Gallagher and Robin have similar motivations and are possibly working together, both are trying to dig into the family's secrets, one to possibly take down the family for avenge Mikhail and the other to find out whats going on with Penacony's harmony. Also, in response to Sunday asking him why he'd kill Robin, Gallagher just says "People are blind to the grit in their eyes, yet they can always feel its scratch." and "Want the answer, I'll give it to you." Sunday's the blind one with grit in his eyes, being a part of the family yet clueless/ignorant to their actions, Robin sought out the thing that affected her voice and found out, so it's just Sunday thats left. He 'kills' Sunday so he can see the answer himself. My theory is the big bad is going to be whoever Penacony's dream master is, they were mentioned around a couple of times but we're still unsure who that could be. We know they're the ones pulling the strings on Sunday, forcing him to focus on the Charmony festival and not even giving him time to mourn his sister. Gallagher killing him would free him from the strings temporarily, away from the dream master's eyes and he could see the truth for himself. I also think Robin not being able to speak about her findings is cuz she doesnt want the dreammaster to find out she's privy to the family's secrets.
    The link between the memory zone meme and Gallagher perplexes me though. I'm just guessing the memory zone meme is a creation of the watchmaker in the same vein as Clockie and just as how TB gained Clockie's ability, Gallagher has the same thing with the Meme... This'll probably get answered next patch but Im dying to know more about Gallagher, easily the most mysterious one at the moment because we dont even know what he is.

    Oh boy. This quest was....fuck me people, this quest was something else...
    Sooooo, I have some notes....
    1. Ifrit is a real one and I already miss him. Pour out some Soulglad for him and put some respect on Duke Inferno's name.
    2. This is *BIG WELT* from the West Side of the Milky Way Galaxy! Come correct when you speak to him!! ...Ahem, yeah Welt's super cool actually, no further notes here.
    3. The Black Swan scenes are really fascinating actually; it's unclear if Constance has the power to manipulate memories like a Memokeeper, memoria like a Dreamweaver, or if she can directly target a person's mind somehow. Regardless of the exact method she can use, she seemingly VERY good at it, as not only did she....in essence, mentally 'sneak up' on Black Swan, but she also directly connected Swan to Boothill, who by his own admission mind you, shouldn't even be planet side yet. Further more, the fact that Boothill is hot in pursuit of Achreon yet never once mentioned anything about a bounty might hint that his grudge with her is a personal matter. All that to say, Archeon choosing to disguise herself as a Ranger...might not have been a random choice on her part...
    4. I lumped the two Black Swan's together so I might as well lump all of Kakavasha's backstory together as well. To sum it up....Colonization and Genocide. To sum it up a little slower this time, the story seems to go that at some point in the past, the Katica tribe attempted to completely wipe out the Avgin people, an incident that the IPC used an excuse to involve itself with the planet, likely justifying it as a humanitarian crisis. This first attempt at genocide resulted in the death of Kakavasha's father, and given her fading voice its very likely that Kakavasha's mother died shortly after childbirth, so he would've been raised by his sister. Unfortunately, the Katica seem to be real sticklers for not leaving a job unfinished, because a few years later, they went and killed the *rest* of the Avgin, save poor 'lucky' Kakavasha...who got promptly sold into slavery. Now, its not clearly stated anywhere, but given the fact that Kakavasha would go on to trigger a massive scandal that cost the IPC and Guild a lot of money and manpower, yet instead of being killed, Aventurine was brought before diamond who basically leapt at the chance to give him a job and a new identity, the implication *to me* seems to be that Kakavasha killed the previous "Aventurine", and that it was this 'previous Stoneheart' who bought him in the first place. There's just no other way for Kakavasha to be in a position to cause a massive scandal like that. Diamond/Jade recruited our very lucky boy because he's obviously very skilled, and besides - killing him wouldn't earn them back any of the assets they lost.
    5. More personal conjecture, but it does seem that, despite how annoyed she sounded when Aventurine called at the end of her quest on Belobog, it stands to reason that Topaz does actually trust Aventurine a fair bit - Jade too for that matter. Given how valuable Cornerstones are revealed to be, if its not trust then I can't imagine anything less than a direct order from Diamond making *both* of them hand off their stones. Plus neither of them seemed exactly...over the moon or 'just peachy' when they realized that Aventurine's gamble went as planned.
    6. Speaking of Cornerstones, those are fucking scary. Its not clear if each Cornerstone makes its owner *exactly* as strong as an Emanator, but if there's ten of the damn things floating around then it basically doesn't even matter. Even while his was broken, Aventurine was more than holding his own against most of the Crew and still had enough power to start bulldozing part of the city, which probably means that if we *did* end up fighting Topaz back on Belobog, we were *super* cooked. Seriously, if top end Emanator's pose a legitimate threat to a planet, then each of those stones is effectively a nuke, and that's an extreme lowball. All that power mind you, but if Aventurine is any indication, you don't even need to have a particularly strong resonance with the Path of Preservation to use it.
    7. The Honkai thing. Okay so...actually, I'll keep this brief. Basically, all of the Honkai-verse is governed by the Imaginary Tree, a metaphysical structure that *(among many other things)* intangibly guides the development of civilizations. And again, to put this briefly, the tree has 'favorites'; concepts, places, objects and yes, even people, frequently 'repeat' across the various Honkai worlds. For example, there was someone on Achreon's planet who looked very similar to Welt, and vice versa. And *both* of them are familiar with a person who resembles Hi3's Kevin. Achreon then states that she's met several people across several worlds who 'resemble' people that she knew. This is the real, canon explanation why Silver Wolf looks like a younger Bronya, why Luchoa is a deadringer for Otto and hell, why Natasha is just Raven but she's a milf now (look up 'Raven 3rd Impact', trust me bros). These 'patterns' exist in Honkai, and they pop a LOT.
    WHY does the Imaginary Tree do this?
    ....Fuck if I know people.........
    8. We're almost at the end. Firefly's dialogue is interesting to me - you seemed to think she was talking about reaching the 'Far Side' of Penacony, but I took that to mean that she tried 11 times to just *go up and talk to the Trailblazer* and that she got cockblocked by destiny 11 times in a row, only to succeed on the 12 when she basically stumbled into a date with them. Wasn't even trying either...what kinda romantic comedy bullshit...but I suppose either case works. The only thing of note I can think of is that I recall seeing something on one of "CatWithABlueHat"'s videos (maybe *in* the video itself or in the comments?) that suggested that if Firefly really does suffer from a condition that basically induces Accelerated Entropy on her, then intense heats would be a legitimate method of treatment for her. So...yeah, I guess that checks out, assuming its true.
    9. Here we are, the Finale. And uh...look, listen. I'm the biggest Localization apologist on the planet, I am *always* willing to go to bat for these folks because localizing shit is hard, and 1/3rd of that job's difficultly comes from the fact that a vocal minority of the chucklefucks in the audience will give them shit for it no matter how good *or* bad of a job they do. All that being said...yeah, leaving out the Enigmata thing is a massive fumble. Hopefully they can patch in that missing dialogue into the text somewhat quickly. But in hindsight, Gallagher literally looking directly into the camera and saying "I'm 13", which is a common number to represent "Death" with is just......Shaoji has some fucking BALLS, I'll give him that. That shit went right over my head at the time.

      I think a stoneheart might be on like, DHIL level. He's not an Emanator of Long, but he's the closest thing to it. I imagine stonehearts are like that.
      Oh and the Thirteen thing went over my head too. Shaoji was fr cooking with that. He basically just said "I'm Death" and we were none the wiser.

      Whilst 13 is mostly considered unlucky, it is also separately 1 "certain" and 3 "life. So whilst you can add the numbers, my grandmother took them separately to create a meaning. Although 13 is an auspicious number in most cultures, it's considered a good birthday to have. Since it also neighbours 14 (certain death) it could be interpreted as the dangerous cusp between life and death. As there was hints that our dialogue choices affect the story, maybe the outcome with Gallagher will be one we can make for ourselves. Whatever happens, it's at least certain to do so.

    One thing to note , there was 1 piece of info we got from adventurine POV while he was handing out cash on intellerons and how they require extra steps to enter the dreamscape. Firefly told us before that she was free in the dreamscape but was basically a dependant in the real world, which to me , explains / helps explain how she is connected to the dreamscape.... through sam , my theory is , in the real world she depends on sam to stay alive , shes not on the guest list because she connected into the dream world through sam. ( btw when i say sam i believe the suit itself is sam) and firefly is inside , with both being able to speak when shes inside. When she reveals herself to trailblazer at the end she was holding a small gadget which i believe is mini sam. Estentially i believe sam can exist without firefly but not the other way around in the real world , thats why firefly felt so free in the dreamscape , she was finally able to be independant of sam. When she becomes a char we may hear 2 voices kinda like huohuo has as the 2 connected beings interact with each other.

    Not sure if someone has mentioned this, but some people have pointed out that 13 is the number for Death in the tarot deck.
    So that’s probably why he says he’s 13 when March asks his age. Considering he’s been suggested to be connected to the enigmata, delivering a cryptic hint like that sounds on brand to me.

    Sam is characterised like, mad and brutal warrior but he's using "watashi" for himself and use "kimi/anata" for the 2nd person which I think contrast his character. Watashi and Kimi/anata is kinda formal and very respect in term of using. At first, I think he will use "ore" or "omaei" in conversation, but as the mention before, this ring the bell in my head and leading me to the conclusion that Sam is piloted by a girl or woman, which leading to Firefly.

    The 13 is a double layered joke funny enough. It's the number for Death in tarot cards and if you were to use leap years, multiple it by 4 (another number associated with bad luck & death) would get you 52, which lands on the number of families he represents. It's a straight-face answer for a giant red flag, especially if his knowledge also suggests he may far older than he lets on as you have people who exist in the dreamscape far beyond even their physical body existing.

    On what happened in HI3, simplified. Also no, it's not exactly the same as Izumo.
    - Cocoon of Finality want to make a civilization or individual ascend to cosmic godhood. To this goal it put civilizations in loops of escalating challenges. If a civilization failed too many times they get wiped.
    - Kevin became half Herrscher of Finality, carried out the last resort/worst case plan for humanity: Forcefully ascend to become Imaginary. Humans will be put into utopian dreams, 99.9999999999% of them will die with only a few individuals surviving, but the idea of human civilization will technically satisfy the condition and "live on".
    - Kiana became half Herrscher of Finality and with everyone beat Kevin. She gained full Herrscher of Finality status and talked with the Cocoon. It accepts her as the only successful ascension and she merged/took control of it, becoming the goddess of Earth. Kiana sealed away most of Honkai power on Earth to let it heal.
    The Izumo ordeal is eerily similar by coincidence, but the cosmic entity behind it is different (seemingly IX vs Cocoon) and have different goal (apathetic destruction vs attempt to ascend lesser civilization).
    The 14 Herrscher system was just what Cocoon used in the last two loops. Technically, it can have any arbitrary number of Herrschers or no Herrscher at all.

    33:37 I interpreted this more as they tried to come back from this "other side" 11 times to make contact with the trailblazer (who was on the normal side obv) but they're in too deep. TB got caught in Acheron's thing and got sent across and Sam made sure they were alright once they appeared. This would set up the next patch too starting from the other side with FF.
    The only things that conflict with this are them being in the normal dream again very soon after getting memed the first time (maybe they can go back and forth after going once as long as they haven't gone too deep yet?) and the fact that that area looks the same as the one where you are entering the dream and see mischa (but could just be reused environment).

Thanks, good to see more possibilities.
      It basically comes down to if Sam is talking about trying to reach the TB 11 times from the other side or if he moved on from that thought and means tried to reach the other side 11 times.

The protagonists were able to become herschers with free will cause of the back door and after facing off against Kevin is their final forms the solved the issue, but it’ll take ten years to fully solve.

    yeees i needed this recap, a lot happened. sheesh.
    And Gallagher, my jaw dropped harder than when sam turned into firefly.
    So the memes name "something unto death" if im englishing right means something like death but not death exactly.
    Im guessing that the meme thing is the watchmakers pet, and it "endgames" people and sends them to the backrooms is where the watchmakers legacy is.
    Overall I believe that there are two factions/groups of people (if i can call it that)
    The watchmaker and the dreamscapers/ family?
    I guess the watchmaker got bored had enough of "the family" hiding the back rooms that he sent out invites so people could come find him?

    17:48 when Aventurine made a bet, that the birds would die before him, I wonder if that hinted to Robin and Sunday going to die before Him, given they have these wings... sheeesh
