Fight for all that is beautiful in the world. 🔥 The story of the 13 Flame-chasers will never be forgotten. Their efforts to defeat the Honkai and the love they have for Humanity will forge a new way forward, for future heroes to continue the legacy that they've left behind. Chapter 31 will be incredible, I can't wait to play it!
10-11(?) days left before it drops, im shaking in anticipation why do i feel like it'll hit so hard like in ch 25 😭 the flamechasers are so special to me
The ending of Honkai2 Flame Chaser has a task. 【To all of you who work hard to live for hope】 As long as you believe in yourself, you are the dawn of hope of the world. Progress 0/1. Always an ongoing task, please always believe in yourself.
Kalpas kinda hit me different. The man who we know as a battle junkie is having a good time helping out children, you know. It could have been his life, but this is Honkai so no.
@@mintchocojo it's interesting how different cinematics hit people, because this one didn't make me cry. Actually i think everlasting flame is the only one that made me cry. I think it's the music that hits me, same as final lesson actually, the music is too good
SPOILER WARNING! 6:24 The big Elysia is actually Kevin Killer Mk 666, the one who can erase whole Elysian Realm (thank you to the one who told me in the comments!) I love the absolute plot of all this, you know when sakura says, "this is something history has never seen before"? it means that this was actually the first time all 13 fought alongside each other, and it was also ironically elysia's last wish and the flamechaser's last stand, right before the end of their story. beautiful, isn't it? They're passing on their unfulfilled dreams and desires for a peaceful world without the honkai. But their torch hasn't flickered out just yet "because of you." They keep fighting "because of you." They get to showcase their last battle and their spectacular ending "because of you". CE's humans are still humans, what the 13 heroes had banded together to protect in the first place. The title has ironically so many different meanings it could mean, and most of them make sense, which is so touching and beautiful- it could also be ellie addressing everyone of how much she loves everyone, or also the other way around, everyone addressing elysia that a reason that the flamechasers came so far in protecting humanity was because of her, and her pure and noble intentions. 5:33 I can imagine elysia just saying all of this while fighting, talking to mei and us captains to push forward and reach a happy ending, and they hoped that with this story, they have lighted a new way for the CE, and with them helping the current era for the last time in their last stand off, all while making it a "grand and spectacular" ending to their show. Now it is time for Mei's and our era to step onto the stage that the flamechasers once stood on, carry on their wishes and continue to fight for the same future they once fought so hard for. The stage may be dusty from time, but it still stands for us to perform our journey on, what a solid stage that the FCs has built for us. That is some next level story writing. So many messages, absolute stunning storywriting, and touches the very core of the human heart. The flamechasers all standing together side by side in this animation and helping elysia in defeating HoC was remarkable. It banded them all of them together, for the first and last time, and trusted elysia so much they all handed her their signets , despite ellie being a herrscher, which was one of the prime reasons why MOTH and the flamechasers existed in the first place. I think that says enough about elysia's personality already. She's a pure and noble soul, and dare i say, a perfect human.
Also, the order of people appearing in "code world" have something to do about "Kevin Killer 666". Being swallowed is actually part of Ely's plan (you can see her smile just a frame length, at the face close up before she was swallowed). As showed, HoC "deleted" Elysia's code, but somehow she gained access through a "backdoor". The said backdoor is actually Eden's account, thus why she appeared first. Morbius, the one that implemented the measure, shows up second. For kalpas, idk the reason he came up. Vill-V is the one that made up "Kevin Killer" in the first place, shows up forth. And then Aponia, who merged with Elysian realm herself, shows up fifth. And then after she revived the rest that has been swallowed by HoC, it allows Elysia to use "Kevin Killer 666", with the permission of all 13 "accounts" (signets).
The credits hitting us hard seeing most of the Flamechasers' innocence before Honkai ruined their lives. Sakura being a happy and supportive sister to Rin, Su helping out people as a doctor, Kalpas, despite not seeing his face, is happy and content with those children and is feeling at home, Griseo being supported by Ato and Blanca, then Pardo despite living on the streets still feeding stray cats. It took a harder turn when we saw Eden's final moments and Kevin losing that innocence upon facing that Honkai beast. Then we actually get to see them work together for the first and last time. The animation and song was mostly positive compared to the himeko ptsd in Everlasting Flames and Otto in Thus Spoke Apocalypse. I always think that these people failed to become heroes in the previous era, but this made me realize that they didn't. They just made the road that the current era is right now treading. They never failed. Edit: Also Elysia and Eden very gay, ElyEden for life Edit #2: MG's theory of ER being a DK is more possible now because how can something man made can simulate the power of the 13th Herrscher unless it's being powered by something else (like a herrscher core).
I don't think it took a harder turn- remember Eden saying she was most fulfilled when she was making art for the sake of making art, and not specifically for anything. Her singing to the dying world may have legitimately been the best ending she could have asked for. Kevin, too- maybe that was the time he was most at peace, when all he had to worry about was bonking Honkai beasts with a bat, and not being the hero trying to hold up humanity's last hopes on his shoulders.
Minor spoilers: Elysian realm is made out of psychic power - the original Elysian Realm was made from Aponia's power which was why she was locked up in the Deep End of the Realm. Later on when most of it was corrupted, Su did psychic surgery on Mei's mind and created a mini-Elysian Realm in her head so resurrect Elysia. That's right; Elysia is living rent-free inside Mei's head.
In the first part during the fight before Elysia gets deleted. You can see some TVs with the words "Cogito ergo sum". It means: I think, therefore I am. It's a philosophical proof that having capability of thought is proof of existance. I think it's pretty fitting since Elysia and the others are conscious that can think and feel but can't leave the world of ER. The writers were very aware of this to even bring up the topic by having Elysia ask Mei her honest opinion what she thought about them being Simulations in chapter 29 right before her disappearance. Many captains including myself would likely questioned themselves on ER and if it even matters because it's virtual, the HoC goes on to say things one side may think that it doesn't matter, they are "futureless".
Didn't want to make the video too long and draggy, but I ABSOLUTELY ADORED the way they showcased the ending scene, incorporating their 'Peaceful and happy life before becoming Flamechasers'. And obvious from my reaction, I was most emotionally affected by both Kalpas and Griseo's ending scene. Knowing what could have been, and what their life was before ... Thank you for being so brave, for sacrificing yourself to defeat the Honkai.
Kinda tragic that this is the only time they all technically fought together and its in a timeline they don't belong to anymore but still chose to protect it. Edit: They better give us Hua's MANTIS/flamechaser costume once they add Shadow Knight in ER
Something I'd love to point out is that at 5:26 Elysia comes out of a pink lotus flower, which in Hinduism represents Divinity, Purity, and Perfection!
*Spoiler alert* The latest story quest actually explain why the Herrscher in this era is siding with Human and not controlled by the Will of Honkai, becuz Elysia uses her authority to let the Herrscher that will appear/born in the future had a chances/possibility to maintain their human will and not controlled by Honkai, Elysia loves humans, at the very end she still want to helps human to fight against the honkai, all of this explained why Walt(1st HoR) still have the human will and stand with human, same goes to Kiana Bronya and Mei, Elysia couldn’t save the past era, but she save the present era.
It definitely hurts even more when Sakura said "This has never been seen before, right" that all of them would fight together as she died earlier than everyone else..... Great video, keep up the good work!
My favorite part is when HoC tries to rewind time again and Elysia just being so bothered just goes "we agreed to move forward" and casually stops the time manipulation
The neat part is, it's because she gained access with "machine code", which is higher priority than high level language than "cpp" which HoC has been using. It's that binary (0s & 1s) that shows up when she was swallowed by HoC. Elysia gained this access, which is a plan that was made and implemented by 5 people that shows up in that code world.
That ElyEden scene was so unexpected that I literally sobbed out loud when I saw it which was rare for me because I usually just cry silently. I love them so much, my heart still aches whenever I get to that scene. In terms of animation style, this takes the cake for me as the best hyv have come up yet. The different styles they've incorporated here was eye candy especially when they switched to 90s style anime which I think was genius. In terms of emotional impact definitely in the top 3 for me. I'm undecided between Everlasting Flames, Lament of the Fallen or this one should be the top so I'm putting them all in top tier.
This is the best animation we got until now. It did the 13 flame chasers justice by including all of them and then gave Elysia what she always wanted which was for the 13 flame chasers to finally fight together as a team 🔥 This was absolutely the happiest ending they could ever give to the flame chasers 💯
In reference to 14:47 (and this is just also purely my speculation) By definition, ego is your conscious mind. A part of your identity that you consider your “true” self. It’s something that makes up an individual as a whole. Your beliefs, ideologies and even your appearance tie back to your ego. Elysia has always loved humanity and based off of what we know so far, her ego (true self) would be one that is selfless and loving towards humanity in general. It could be possible that this part of her is so strong that her herrscher persona has totally disregarded the will of the honkai and Elysia successfully created her own “will of the honkai”, one that fights for humanity and that is not motivated to destroy everything in its path. Hence why she’s named the Herrscher of Human. (we also see this in Kiana with her Flamescion awakening) Also, given the fact that she also has two herrscher forms. It could also be that her Herrscher of Origins form stems back to her own origins; one that cares for the people that she loves and one that has a deep love for humanity. Not to mention, the origins of a human being is none other than their ego. I think chapter 31 will heavily focus on how Elysia’s awakening is one that will change how Herrschers will be perceived in the next eras because it’s happened way too many times in the current era where herrschers are defying the Will of the Honkai to fight alongside humanity. All in all, I’ve always loved your reactions vids kodla! Thank you for always bringing smiled to our faces with your uploads 💕
It hits me when she said this to HoC: "In the end, you will go beyond the graves and create a future we could not reach!" To create a future which they know they could not reach.. 😢
@@deckyfx2188 yeah also the ending scene where she's in the field of flowers it plays the same tune she had when her name was revealed in the concept trailer
This cinematic was released on the same day, when I got the 900th login day rewards. 15 Focused Supply card, and I used a 10 pull for Vill-V stuff for it. Got her weapon, and 2 stigmata within that 10 pull. Now I just need Vill-V herself. xD Anyway the cinematic again high quality. I'm not a crybaby but after 4:25 I didn't seen much for a short time at the first time I watched. XD
18:34 It's a witty response from Elysia to Mobius, which implies the same meaning you described, "you are so obviously happy instead". The translation is good in my opinion.
I think the ending cutscene was everyones' lives without elysia, which made edens scene even more heartbreaking because her life really is nothing without her...
nah, they are the lives that rlly existed for the real 13s, most are before became Mantis, but Eden and Apo are different, they are the final moment of them 2 if Im not mistaken
Thank you! Love seeing your reactions to these shorts! I haven't felt this way since Shattered Samsara, my first new short as a captain. Elysia lives rent-free in my head and I'm okay with that
when she said "we agreed to move forward"..."wait no, I didn't agree" was my reaction. glad I'm not the only onewho shed tears while watching this btw she indeed break 4th wall when she said that line, "talking to us". and in the end she embrace ER the place she cherished
Aaaaaa I'm so happy to see your reaction! ELYEDEN CANON! THE WIVES! This animation is SO beautiful and I'm trying to catch up in ER as much as I can cause I'm so behind!
Shower thoughts about the spoilers i've heard and this animation, I think this will be something akin to what himeko is to kiana, Mei had good memories of the Elysian Realm regardless of all the life-threatening situations she was put in, I firmly think this is gonna be her motivation to do good for the world and to keep moving forward, it honestly is reminiscent of what Himeko did for Kiana, sacrificing herself to be the motivation of the main character. But this time it's the 13 flamechasers. (mainly thought of this cause it would be cool as hell if Mei got an animation that's like everlasting flames but instead of himeko pushing kiana forward to defeat HoD, it'd be the flamechasers pushing mei forward to defeat an even bigger threat) this is the ramblings of a pretty new captain that only got to experience ER mostly and not the main story just yet
How they did the part of Eden giving "her body" to Ely to bring her back in the animation... all is so gorgeous so beautiful and im so sad because i will miss them they are so wholesome.
“seeds bare new life when flowers dare to fade” probably sums up Elysia and the rest of the Flamechaser’s story perfectly. 13 Beautiful and dedicated people willing to sacrifice themselves for the continuation of humanity.
*Elysia so cool!* It's kind of heartwarming seeing the group finally set aside their differences and work together. _After how bullheaded they're shown to be,_ and so individualistic. But of a fun fact now, this was most likely inspired by Evangelion, namely the imagery used in the third and final movies where the space the characters are in really reminds me of this, and how the place was collapsing into a giant, red space But more importantly, I love the giant Ely, and the stained glass portrait! _Ely so cool she turned this into Kingdom Hearts_
Awesome reaction! Your love for this game and it's characters always shows and I like hearing your thoughts and feelings about the flamechasers and the Elysian Realm! All of the flamechasers may be gone, but they will forever live on with us!
I was surprised when the main part of the animation didn't really made me cry like i thought it would Only for the credit part to roll in and made me 😭😭😭😭
It's really beautiful that she at least got to end it with her dream fulfilled. With all the flamechasers working together I'm also saving all my crystals for Elysia (again) lol
Another thing, when the aspect ratio changed, aka when the struggle and conflict escalated, Ely got pulled in to a building called Abyss-Open 24/7. Gotta be on that grindset
Niiice I haven’t seen your reaction and i thought it was too short too, I need moooore but I loved this and watched it like 10 times and I have the song saved in my playlist 😂 I listen to it every day like with all their songs
Elysia is the Jesus of Honkai. She loves humanity so much that she - Unblemished Beauty - sacrifices herself. Her love is so strong that it transcends time and space. The Elysia we met was not just a mere recording, but the real Elysia. (Shoulders the burden of others, loves them, and sacrifices herself. That is why her item is the crown of thorns.)
@@kallenlivesmatter3229 You can say her presence in Elysia Realm is her ressurection. Hell, even her skill in game has her reborn after death. Elysia is eternal. Watching over humanity.
a few notes from a native Chinese speaker who has now spent more time out of it than in it (meaning my mandarin is a bit sucky): the og Chinese name of the short is "因你而在的故事“, which when you translate in its entirety is 'stories that exist because of you' or 'because of you, these stories exist'. (因你 is something along the lines of because of you, something that you have caused along that line. 而 can mean a change of state while 在 is kind of a 'here' meaning. 的 is a 'the' and 故事 means story or tale) The name was likely changed when 'because of you' already gets the meaning across but it does lose some context, with the story involved, its more (and personal interpretation here) a passing of the torch. Stories only exist when written down or in someone's head, with elysian realm deleted the only ones now who know the stories of the 13 flamechasers are us the players (and mei) who have been told it. If we don't exist than this story of people who've died will no longer exist either (figuratively). with Elysia's "Dear Eden", the original line is "我的好伊甸" which translate (in it's entirety) to "My good Eden" or "My dear Eden". The translation is fine but it is something interesting (the vibe feels a bit more playful and intimate to me) with mobius, her first line is "not surprisingly, you still have to get everyone on board' while the og is "结果,还是想着拉上所有人一起" which i would more interpret it as "in the end, you still want to pull everyone along" (together). as zKodla stated in the video, Elysia's response isn't 'Huh? But I can't tell you're bothered, not in the slightest' but "你明明也很开心吗” which is more "You're very clearly very happy too". Sakura's line is "This has never been seen before, right?", the Chinese line is "这是在历史上也不从有过的镜像“ translating quite similarly as "this is a scene that's never before been seen in history" (something along that line). The main thing I would say is that Sakura phrase it more as a statement rather than an open ended question. Elysia's response to Kevin's "are you ready, Elysia" is a "但让啦” meaning "Of course!" which i feel carry more energy and omph than the "sure" we got Elysia's line to the HoC with the big attack is "and create a future, we could not reach", the Chinese is "去创造我们所未能迎接的, 未来吧“ translating the same but could also mean "go create the future we were not able to welcome" Overall the translation is very decent and get the message/vibes across but these are a few points that i felt worthy (or were interesting enough) to point out that could add more context
As a chinese person myself too, I agree with everything said in here! My first reaction when i saw the translations were literally "hmm... not quite right" or "could've added more context." But overall, yes, the translations were still good!
@@axirex603 that’s definitely how I feel. It’s good but personally I could see places where something could be rephrased to capture even more of the original meaning or just reworked to flow better. It didn’t ruin anything but it’s one of those things like minor bugs in the game
watching this animated short from start to finish was an entire gold mine! so many cool little details are seen if u look close enough and the style they took in from oldies anime into the more modern style was really awesome 😭😭 and the credit scenes were so nostalgic and sad the fact that elysia said the words she first said in the ER concept trailer and played the music where she was alone in the flowerbeds is also used elysia really is the start and end of everything ❤️ amazing reaction i love it!! completely worth the wait 😆 and of course let's go elyeden nation !!!
Thank you for the nice because of you and TruE reaction video, the one that i give salute for Mihoyo is that even the lyrics song is also a story about PE like the one when she said "in the world waiting to be lit" is how HoTE is preapring to burn the earth surface and that they should keep all the tears to make sure the new world after being burned will still have live left, i know i don't deserve Herscher Elysia but i still want to have her in 6.0 so that i can make tribute to the one that opens up a path toward herscher that have human ego in current era, well, then let us wait for 1 more month before she come home shall we?
DAMN it’s hard to believe it’s only been a year since the Elysian Realm’s first release, feels way longer than that!! Definitely one of the best arcs, for I really love them all as a group - so well written. Sad that this seems to be the end of the journey in the realm, but wouldn’t have had it any other way; grand and spectacular as Elysia put it. And as we move forward, this will be something that we always cherish!! 💖🔥👌 As usual, great reaction of a mood, Kodla !! Good luck to us all when pulling for this pristine Goddess ✨
I just freaking realise you can see the Ego Signet shape at the back of Elysia. At 13:01 Also to answer your question about what is the power Elysia is using, she's using Kevin Killer Mk 66, which will delete the entirety of the Elysian Realm, the only one who can activate it is Elysia.
I love how the final ost of the post credit scene (where you see Elysia and the flowers) is a direct reference to the OST that plays in the first concept trailer of the Elysian Realm, when the name of Elysia shows up. The story begins with Elysia and ends with Elysia. Truly a masterpiece.
I really loved the retro feel to this animation, really a fitting way to bring an arc about the PE to a close. And as much as I really liked this arc, I’m excited to get back to the Kiana-Dudu storyline.
From the time Elysia arrived in the game I knew she will be a very important character in the story. I felt very strong emotion upon her very iconic "Hi!" as she waves at you in greeting. She is always positive to the point that she sounds sus in her sincereness, but in the end her beauty, her lovable disposition and her attitude were very charming for me. And now, she ascends to become the Herrscher of Humanity / Ego .... I remember Madoka on their similarity. Sacrifice to save all and moving forward to the future. Color aside, they are both embodiment of struggles and hope. The song is really something and beautiful as well. I will surely roll for her Herrscher form too! Very nice reaction and analysis as well miss! You never fail to give a great video!
When all of them came together and the lines that Ely said when she transformed got me really emotional because it was her exact same lines when Elysian Realm was also introduced. The 13 Flame-chasers will always be in our hearts!
Ok something i saw , if you see carefully when the giant entity elysia charges up the bow, it forms a pattern SIMILAR to HoH Human form gameplay when you charge attack!
I remember someone in the comments of the animated short pointed out that Ellie wanted all 13 of them to fight together as her one final wish. And the fact that all 13 of the sims actually united to battle HoC gives me massive amounts of serotonin.
I always like these videos even if you weren't able to do a full analysis due to trying to avoid spoilers. I'm also trying to avoid any story spoilers for ch. 31. with the lost in translation thing for Elysia, maybe they were trying to make her still sound playful in her response to what Mobius said? it's amazing how important miHoyo actually made this arc for the lore and understanding of what the Flamechasers actually meant and stood for. really glad they made it a part of the main story after introducing it through Elysian Realm first.
The end credits made me burst into tears. Seeing how some of the FC's lives where b4 the Honkai completely took their peace away. Especially that scene where Eden sung her final goodbyes to Ellie and died bec the PE is where she belonged in her heart.
I must say that i haven't felt so broken yet happy since everlasting flames cuz seeing the bittersweet ending of kiana and elysia losing many things but also gaining other things in the process makes me wanna cry cuz they've gone such a fucking long way. Kiana's wish to protect all that is beautiful in the world, and elysia's wish to fight honkai together with the 12 flamechasers make me just wanna break down
I was waiting to watch this. Tried to stay away as much as possible. I haven't even finished chapter 30 yet 😭 Edit: I love how they worked with like 3 different animations and artstyles. This is so beautiful.
For us this is bittersweet but for Elysia this is the best ending shell ever have. To all of them working together to fight honkai and to pass her legacy their legacy onto Mei. Ah what a wonderful end To Real Unblemished Elysia
also something that I found really interesting was when she did the arrow attack and it cleared the aspect ratio back to normal, she went from the hand drawn to cgi.
The significance of the 13 is really strong for this group. Seeing how it was the simulated memory of the 13 with Elysia being in the lead to end the 13th herrscher of this current era, left a bitter closure to me about how relations between those flamechasers will never be the same after the 13th herrscher was born in their era... FeelsKalpas here cause Sakura Simp lol... Somehow I feel that all this with the thirteenth herrscher was expected by Kevin, having Mei handle it as conviniently giving her "answers" while avoiding being reminded of his guilt.
This is story about 13 Flame Chaser. In Old World they are special and they have power to fight Honkai. And in animation. This is first time and last time 13 Flame Chaser combine and fight. That's is wonderful 😭. I love it. That's reason i use all of my crys to pull Elysia HoHE. 😁
The aspect ratio sank when Elysia took damage from 16x9 slowly to 4x3 and then classic tv, and then unsank back when she powered up, along with the art style changed from modern 3D back to 2D and then classic anime, and then reverse Those are the best and most unique parts of this animation 👌👌
Idk why but the 90s style animation reminds me of Neon Genesis Evangelion and the CG (especially the giant Elysia) reminds me of the CG from Evangelion 3.0+1.0 thrice upon a time Dawei really is a fan of that anime haha 😆
Elysia's final lines after transforming to herrscher form were from the elysian realm trailer, but the tone were different to the point you can point out how proud ellie is at this new cg
However visitor, your road ahead never ends, right? In Chinese Elysian Realm PV:但来访者,你的道路仍将前进,不是吗? Because of you: 但来访者,你们的道路仍将前进,不是吗? “你”can only mean one person,“你们”can mean many people. So this is what Ellie said to all players, not just Mei. So don't be sad, Follow your heart and move forward.
One thing I noticed is that Elysia's transformation was so similar to Kiana's transformation as the HoF. Only instead of Gems of Power, it was the FC Signets. I can't even imagine how powerful HoH would be if Elysia was still alive. Because that right there, she held the power of humanity itself. And this was done by uniting all Flamechasers, something that they could not do when they were alive. HoH must Kiana's endgame, what similar kind of power that she needs to defeat the coming Herrscher of the End.
the part where elysia sacrificed her own being to become a huge yellow arrow and killed the herrscher of corruption was so amazing, watching this whole vid made me cry tbh
They want fight together afterall, no matter the unhappy relationships between specific members. When it is about Elysia or defeating honkai, they work as one with no doubt. They fuse into the arrow Elysia changes to, and beat the HotE-level herrscher of digital space. What an gorgeous end! I broke so hard when see pardofelis smiling and standing near Sakura. With all flamechasers around this time she looks like a proud hero and not be scared any more!
for some animation feeling share , the first fight part there got hint that elysia wanted hoc to corrupt her data, got 2 fast screen showing elysia smile face. after elysia go in hoc database [the 4:3 tv part], after hoc say farewell elysia , delect complete. just few second elysia is overwrite back the elysian ream data to call back/recover all 12 fc data which have corrupt by hoc. from elysia body recover back to sketch line and her eden give her the colour shirt[ just like last time conversation, eden was design all her outfit]. elysia main wish was to team up all 13 of them to defect the honkai. this is what elysia didnt just use the final ultimate power direct shot to hoc. she want all of them 13 fc to defect honkai that was never happen on past they alive. final fight past, hoc try to reward back , but elysia use 12 fc signal as arrow to freeze hoc movement, the final giant eli was the kevin killer 666 [ this guessing, from last vill v conversation, all she made the weapon fail to kill kevin, but she manage to made one concept -- want kill kevin only success it to destroy the elysian ream, after vill v made this kk666, she pass the activation code to ely ]. this what i guessing, elysia can just use kk666 at first fight, but she decide goin hoc to recover back all of them, this why mobius say to elysia, want to teamup them together. ~the ending of the flame chasers must be grand and spectacular~ this has alway say by elysia from begin.
emmm, now i realize why elysia was the first kill by hoc ,, hoc scare the kk666, when hoc friend to evil vill v .... since hoc real world data was delete by rawen ...
10:44 Deleted but not Write Zero. Deleted basically just label the section to be rewriteable but it is still recoverable as long as its not wrote over, while Write Zero basically flip all the switch to 0 effectively rendering it unrecoverable.
14:43 Thats probably her power as a Herrscher of Human/Origin. A bit of my own theory, it may be a spoiler "IF" that's were the case. But what if Elysia herself is the Will of the Honkai?... Since the sims mentioned that it didn't existed in their era, and it would also make sense that the 13th divine key(The suit Himeko used to hold the gem of haste) is only a suit that can hold and use the herrscher gem's power because that suit may contain Elysia's Ego powers..... To add it up, Elysia's playable Herrscher battlesuit's Ulti/Burst mode is called Herrscher of Origin instead of Ego... So most likely it's a hint "IF" that's the case, she is the Will of the Honkai and she appears a white figure and copies the appearance of others because she lost her Ego or "Self".
I'm not sure if the Visitor is us, even though we technically travel through time and space in various events to "obtain" different Valkyries. Like isn't Mei the one that entered the Elysian Realm from the start? But I have to say, seeing the 12 Flame Chasers in their happiest times in the Old Era is kinda heart-wrenching, how their lives are robbed so many years ago.
I think that final move Elysia did was actually summoned the Kevin Killer Mk 666. It uses Elysia as the required catalyst to engage, which pretty much understandable since no matter how hard HoC tried, it could not have complete control over Kevin Killer Mk666. Well, that weapon literally deleted everything. Poof, and ER is gone, with everything in it.
Fight for all that is beautiful in the world. 🔥 The story of the 13 Flame-chasers will never be forgotten. Their efforts to defeat the Honkai and the love they have for Humanity will forge a new way forward, for future heroes to continue the legacy that they've left behind. Chapter 31 will be incredible, I can't wait to play it!
Your reaction is just like Moonshine's reaction lols he was shook just as you hehe. 💗💜
act1 is nearly 5 hours long and may take you 6 hours
10-11(?) days left before it drops, im shaking in anticipation why do i feel like it'll hit so hard like in ch 25 😭 the flamechasers are so special to me
Me remembering one line from ch 29 act 2
Elysia talks to mei about they were never fought along side eachother
Me:😭
The ending of Honkai2 Flame Chaser has a task.
【To all of you who work hard to live for hope】 As long as you believe in yourself, you are the dawn of hope of the world. Progress 0/1.
Always an ongoing task, please always believe in yourself.
When they showed the other FC's living happily before hell arrived... especially sakura and rin. This is the first time an animated short made me cry😭
None of the other honkai cg’s did!?
@@ninjahaz0180 i definitely felt sad watching em i just dont shed tears easily like that
Kalpas kinda hit me different. The man who we know as a battle junkie is having a good time helping out children, you know. It could have been his life, but this is Honkai so no.
@@ninjahaz0180 I don't think so
@@mintchocojo it's interesting how different cinematics hit people, because this one didn't make me cry. Actually i think everlasting flame is the only one that made me cry. I think it's the music that hits me, same as final lesson actually, the music is too good
"However visitor, your road ahead never ends, right?" Im gonna miss them so much😢
SPOILER WARNING!
6:24
The big Elysia is actually Kevin Killer Mk 666, the one who can erase whole Elysian Realm (thank you to the one who told me in the comments!)
I love the absolute plot of all this, you know when sakura says, "this is something history has never seen before"? it means that this was actually the first time all 13 fought alongside each other, and it was also ironically elysia's last wish and the flamechaser's last stand, right before the end of their story. beautiful, isn't it? They're passing on their unfulfilled dreams and desires for a peaceful world without the honkai. But their torch hasn't flickered out just yet "because of you." They keep fighting "because of you." They get to showcase their last battle and their spectacular ending "because of you". CE's humans are still humans, what the 13 heroes had banded together to protect in the first place. The title has ironically so many different meanings it could mean, and most of them make sense, which is so touching and beautiful- it could also be ellie addressing everyone of how much she loves everyone, or also the other way around, everyone addressing elysia that a reason that the flamechasers came so far in protecting humanity was because of her, and her pure and noble intentions.
5:33
I can imagine elysia just saying all of this while fighting, talking to mei and us captains to push forward and reach a happy ending, and they hoped that with this story, they have lighted a new way for the CE, and with them helping the current era for the last time in their last stand off, all while making it a "grand and spectacular" ending to their show. Now it is time for Mei's and our era to step onto the stage that the flamechasers once stood on, carry on their wishes and continue to fight for the same future they once fought so hard for. The stage may be dusty from time, but it still stands for us to perform our journey on, what a solid stage that the FCs has built for us. That is some next level story writing. So many messages, absolute stunning storywriting, and touches the very core of the human heart.
The flamechasers all standing together side by side in this animation and helping elysia in defeating HoC was remarkable. It banded them all of them together, for the first and last time, and trusted elysia so much they all handed her their signets , despite ellie being a herrscher, which was one of the prime reasons why MOTH and the flamechasers existed in the first place.
I think that says enough about elysia's personality already. She's a pure and noble soul, and dare i say, a perfect human.
Spoiler
Actually the big Elysia is Kevin Killer Mk 666, the one who can erase whole Elysian Realm
@@ivyzhu4668 I see, thanks for clearing that up !
It's interesting that the "perfect human" isn't even human at all
Also, the order of people appearing in "code world" have something to do about "Kevin Killer 666". Being swallowed is actually part of Ely's plan (you can see her smile just a frame length, at the face close up before she was swallowed).
As showed, HoC "deleted" Elysia's code, but somehow she gained access through a "backdoor". The said backdoor is actually Eden's account, thus why she appeared first. Morbius, the one that implemented the measure, shows up second. For kalpas, idk the reason he came up. Vill-V is the one that made up "Kevin Killer" in the first place, shows up forth. And then Aponia, who merged with Elysian realm herself, shows up fifth.
And then after she revived the rest that has been swallowed by HoC, it allows Elysia to use "Kevin Killer 666", with the permission of all 13 "accounts" (signets).
Love how she has the ability to create a powerful giant version of herself and names ir "Kevin Killer Mk 666"
The credits hitting us hard seeing most of the Flamechasers' innocence before Honkai ruined their lives. Sakura being a happy and supportive sister to Rin, Su helping out people as a doctor, Kalpas, despite not seeing his face, is happy and content with those children and is feeling at home, Griseo being supported by Ato and Blanca, then Pardo despite living on the streets still feeding stray cats. It took a harder turn when we saw Eden's final moments and Kevin losing that innocence upon facing that Honkai beast. Then we actually get to see them work together for the first and last time. The animation and song was mostly positive compared to the himeko ptsd in Everlasting Flames and Otto in Thus Spoke Apocalypse.
I always think that these people failed to become heroes in the previous era, but this made me realize that they didn't. They just made the road that the current era is right now treading. They never failed.
Edit: Also Elysia and Eden very gay, ElyEden for life
Edit #2: MG's theory of ER being a DK is more possible now because how can something man made can simulate the power of the 13th Herrscher unless it's being powered by something else (like a herrscher core).
I don't think it took a harder turn- remember Eden saying she was most fulfilled when she was making art for the sake of making art, and not specifically for anything. Her singing to the dying world may have legitimately been the best ending she could have asked for. Kevin, too- maybe that was the time he was most at peace, when all he had to worry about was bonking Honkai beasts with a bat, and not being the hero trying to hold up humanity's last hopes on his shoulders.
Minor spoilers:
Elysian realm is made out of psychic power - the original Elysian Realm was made from Aponia's power which was why she was locked up in the Deep End of the Realm.
Later on when most of it was corrupted, Su did psychic surgery on Mei's mind and created a mini-Elysian Realm in her head so resurrect Elysia.
That's right; Elysia is living rent-free inside Mei's head.
In the first part during the fight before Elysia gets deleted. You can see some TVs with the words "Cogito ergo sum". It means: I think, therefore I am. It's a philosophical proof that having capability of thought is proof of existance. I think it's pretty fitting since Elysia and the others are conscious that can think and feel but can't leave the world of ER. The writers were very aware of this to even bring up the topic by having Elysia ask Mei her honest opinion what she thought about them being Simulations in chapter 29 right before her disappearance. Many captains including myself would likely questioned themselves on ER and if it even matters because it's virtual, the HoC goes on to say things one side may think that it doesn't matter, they are "futureless".
Wow
There's also RestoreEgo and RestorePinkHeart
Didn't want to make the video too long and draggy, but I ABSOLUTELY ADORED the way they showcased the ending scene, incorporating their 'Peaceful and happy life before becoming Flamechasers'. And obvious from my reaction, I was most emotionally affected by both Kalpas and Griseo's ending scene. Knowing what could have been, and what their life was before ... Thank you for being so brave, for sacrificing yourself to defeat the Honkai.
b-but but eden's part wasnt before becoming a flamechaser!!11!11
no but seriously this animation was beautiful.
Kinda tragic that this is the only time they all technically fought together and its in a timeline they don't belong to anymore but still chose to protect it.
Edit: They better give us Hua's MANTIS/flamechaser costume once they add Shadow Knight in ER
Something I'd love to point out is that at 5:26 Elysia comes out of a pink lotus flower, which in Hinduism represents Divinity, Purity, and Perfection!
*Spoiler alert*
The latest story quest actually explain why the Herrscher in this era is siding with Human and not controlled by the Will of Honkai, becuz Elysia uses her authority to let the Herrscher that will appear/born in the future had a chances/possibility to maintain their human will and not controlled by Honkai, Elysia loves humans, at the very end she still want to helps human to fight against the honkai, all of this explained why Walt(1st HoR) still have the human will and stand with human, same goes to Kiana Bronya and Mei, Elysia couldn’t save the past era, but she save the present era.
also why kevin said to.mei "that will never happen" when she asked what could he do if she became a full fledged herrsher.
@@shiori2182 Also Kevin: There is no Herrscher here, only a Flame-chaser bearing the signet of ego.
It definitely hurts even more when Sakura said "This has never been seen before, right" that all of them would fight together as she died earlier than everyone else.....
Great video, keep up the good work!
And the fact that this is the first time and also the last time 🥲
YES!! The flamechasers never fought together
Technically once Sakura died, it was impossible for all 13 flameschasers to fight together irl so the only way they could do it was in ER like this
My favorite part is when HoC tries to rewind time again and Elysia just being so bothered just goes "we agreed to move forward" and casually stops the time manipulation
Hoc: rewinds
Elisiya: and who decided that?
Elysia sitting there like "Do u think im joking?"
The neat part is, it's because she gained access with "machine code", which is higher priority than high level language than "cpp" which HoC has been using. It's that binary (0s & 1s) that shows up when she was swallowed by HoC.
Elysia gained this access, which is a plan that was made and implemented by 5 people that shows up in that code world.
@@jourdanfarquharson4697 HoC: Ha ha it just works
Elysia: No it doesn't
HoC: Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-at-at-at
am I the only one who wants an Elysia battlesuit that uses the shield she used in this CG animation??
Wish her original battlesuit evasion was like that, then it would be cool, like Dudu’s shield
@@fuhuasimp6976 true. She’s dash into the enemy with her shield like PE Durandal then activate time fracture then gather them.
@@fuhuasimp6976 成本呐。
That ElyEden scene was so unexpected that I literally sobbed out loud when I saw it which was rare for me because I usually just cry silently. I love them so much, my heart still aches whenever I get to that scene.
In terms of animation style, this takes the cake for me as the best hyv have come up yet. The different styles they've incorporated here was eye candy especially when they switched to 90s style anime which I think was genius. In terms of emotional impact definitely in the top 3 for me. I'm undecided between Everlasting Flames, Lament of the Fallen or this one should be the top so I'm putting them all in top tier.
This is the best animation we got until now. It did the 13 flame chasers justice by including all of them and then gave Elysia what she always wanted which was for the 13 flame chasers to finally fight together as a team 🔥
This was absolutely the happiest ending they could ever give to the flame chasers 💯
Hello Rami! :) likewise as well, what a good ending for the flamechasers T_T
In reference to 14:47 (and this is just also purely my speculation)
By definition, ego is your conscious mind. A part of your identity that you consider your “true” self. It’s something that makes up an individual as a whole. Your beliefs, ideologies and even your appearance tie back to your ego.
Elysia has always loved humanity and based off of what we know so far, her ego (true self) would be one that is selfless and loving towards humanity in general. It could be possible that this part of her is so strong that her herrscher persona has totally disregarded the will of the honkai and Elysia successfully created her own “will of the honkai”, one that fights for humanity and that is not motivated to destroy everything in its path. Hence why she’s named the Herrscher of Human. (we also see this in Kiana with her Flamescion awakening)
Also, given the fact that she also has two herrscher forms. It could also be that her Herrscher of Origins form stems back to her own origins; one that cares for the people that she loves and one that has a deep love for humanity. Not to mention, the origins of a human being is none other than their ego.
I think chapter 31 will heavily focus on how Elysia’s awakening is one that will change how Herrschers will be perceived in the next eras because it’s happened way too many times in the current era where herrschers are defying the Will of the Honkai to fight alongside humanity.
All in all, I’ve always loved your reactions vids kodla! Thank you for always bringing smiled to our faces with your uploads 💕
this was the saddest arc for me and im sure than once we know what happens before the cutscene we are cryng more
It hits me when she said this to HoC: "In the end, you will go beyond the graves and create a future we could not reach!"
To create a future which they know they could not reach.. 😢
I think Elysia is talking to Mei, its basically same dialogue she said in Elysian concept trailer
@@deckyfx2188 yeah also the ending scene where she's in the field of flowers it plays the same tune she had when her name was revealed in the concept trailer
This cinematic was released on the same day, when I got the 900th login day rewards.
15 Focused Supply card, and I used a 10 pull for Vill-V stuff for it. Got her weapon, and 2 stigmata within that 10 pull. Now I just need Vill-V herself. xD
Anyway the cinematic again high quality. I'm not a crybaby but after 4:25 I didn't seen much for a short time at the first time I watched. XD
18:34 It's a witty response from Elysia to Mobius, which implies the same meaning you described, "you are so obviously happy instead". The translation is good in my opinion.
I think the ending cutscene was everyones' lives without elysia, which made edens scene even more heartbreaking because her life really is nothing without her...
they're so real
nah, they are the lives that rlly existed for the real 13s, most are before became Mantis, but Eden and Apo are different, they are the final moment of them 2 if Im not mistaken
some cutscene of them before join flamechas and some after,for eden scene,thats was eden perfome her last song before end of the pe,same with aponia,
@Muhammad Agil Ramadhan HRP yea. since she said that she belong in PE and she doesnt belong to a world without Elysia.
Thank you! Love seeing your reactions to these shorts! I haven't felt this way since Shattered Samsara, my first new short as a captain. Elysia lives rent-free in my head and I'm okay with that
time to save up for her dave!!
@@Kodla already going to swipe if I need to. Still contemplating full gear for Vill-V 😅
EDEN appears and she tears water OUT OF my EYES. 😭
I just read Eden's memory at night before that friday. I'm died in that friday morning.
when she said "we agreed to move forward"..."wait no, I didn't agree" was my reaction.
glad I'm not the only onewho shed tears while watching this
btw she indeed break 4th wall when she said that line, "talking to us". and in the end she embrace ER the place she cherished
Aaaaaa I'm so happy to see your reaction! ELYEDEN CANON! THE WIVES! This animation is SO beautiful and I'm trying to catch up in ER as much as I can cause I'm so behind!
Everything is just so beautiful. Elysia, the song, her transformation, her dress, the flamechasers, and the animation omg. It hits right in the feel.
Shower thoughts about the spoilers i've heard and this animation, I think this will be something akin to what himeko is to kiana, Mei had good memories of the Elysian Realm regardless of all the life-threatening situations she was put in, I firmly think this is gonna be her motivation to do good for the world and to keep moving forward, it honestly is reminiscent of what Himeko did for Kiana, sacrificing herself to be the motivation of the main character. But this time it's the 13 flamechasers.
(mainly thought of this cause it would be cool as hell if Mei got an animation that's like everlasting flames but instead of himeko pushing kiana forward to defeat HoD, it'd be the flamechasers pushing mei forward to defeat an even bigger threat) this is the ramblings of a pretty new captain that only got to experience ER mostly and not the main story just yet
Such a beautiful animation 🥹 can't wait to see your reaction
It truly is a beautiful animated short.
How they did the part of Eden giving "her body" to Ely to bring her back in the animation... all is so gorgeous so beautiful and im so sad because i will miss them they are so wholesome.
“seeds bare new life when flowers dare to fade” probably sums up Elysia and the rest of the Flamechaser’s story perfectly. 13 Beautiful and dedicated people willing to sacrifice themselves for the continuation of humanity.
*Elysia so cool!* It's kind of heartwarming seeing the group finally set aside their differences and work together. _After how bullheaded they're shown to be,_ and so individualistic.
But of a fun fact now, this was most likely inspired by Evangelion, namely the imagery used in the third and final movies where the space the characters are in really reminds me of this, and how the place was collapsing into a giant, red space
But more importantly, I love the giant Ely, and the stained glass portrait! _Ely so cool she turned this into Kingdom Hearts_
Awesome reaction! Your love for this game and it's characters always shows and I like hearing your thoughts and feelings about the flamechasers and the Elysian Realm! All of the flamechasers may be gone, but they will forever live on with us!
I was surprised when the main part of the animation didn't really made me cry like i thought it would
Only for the credit part to roll in and made me 😭😭😭😭
It's really beautiful that she at least got to end it with her dream fulfilled. With all the flamechasers working together
I'm also saving all my crystals for Elysia (again) lol
i dont know why. but your the one I was waiting for to react on this animation. ♥️♥️
me too!! zkodla always has the sweetest and most interesting reactions :D
Another thing, when the aspect ratio changed, aka when the struggle and conflict escalated, Ely got pulled in to a building called Abyss-Open 24/7. Gotta be on that grindset
Niiice I haven’t seen your reaction and i thought it was too short too, I need moooore but I loved this and watched it like 10 times and I have the song saved in my playlist 😂 I listen to it every day like with all their songs
Moving on from my favorite arc would be difficult. I don’t know how the next arc will top this.
Elysia is the Jesus of Honkai. She loves humanity so much that she - Unblemished Beauty - sacrifices herself.
Her love is so strong that it transcends time and space. The Elysia we met was not just a mere recording, but the real Elysia.
(Shoulders the burden of others, loves them, and sacrifices herself. That is why her item is the crown of thorns.)
Except she didn't come back from the dead
@@kallenlivesmatter3229 You can say her presence in Elysia Realm is her ressurection.
Hell, even her skill in game has her reborn after death.
Elysia is eternal. Watching over humanity.
a few notes from a native Chinese speaker who has now spent more time out of it than in it (meaning my mandarin is a bit sucky):
the og Chinese name of the short is "因你而在的故事“, which when you translate in its entirety is 'stories that exist because of you' or 'because of you, these stories exist'. (因你 is something along the lines of because of you, something that you have caused along that line. 而 can mean a change of state while 在 is kind of a 'here' meaning. 的 is a 'the' and 故事 means story or tale)
The name was likely changed when 'because of you' already gets the meaning across but it does lose some context, with the story involved, its more (and personal interpretation here) a passing of the torch. Stories only exist when written down or in someone's head, with elysian realm deleted the only ones now who know the stories of the 13 flamechasers are us the players (and mei) who have been told it. If we don't exist than this story of people who've died will no longer exist either (figuratively).
with Elysia's "Dear Eden", the original line is "我的好伊甸" which translate (in it's entirety) to "My good Eden" or "My dear Eden". The translation is fine but it is something interesting (the vibe feels a bit more playful and intimate to me)
with mobius, her first line is "not surprisingly, you still have to get everyone on board' while the og is "结果,还是想着拉上所有人一起" which i would more interpret it as "in the end, you still want to pull everyone along" (together).
as zKodla stated in the video, Elysia's response isn't 'Huh? But I can't tell you're bothered, not in the slightest' but "你明明也很开心吗” which is more "You're very clearly very happy too".
Sakura's line is "This has never been seen before, right?", the Chinese line is "这是在历史上也不从有过的镜像“ translating quite similarly as "this is a scene that's never before been seen in history" (something along that line). The main thing I would say is that Sakura phrase it more as a statement rather than an open ended question.
Elysia's response to Kevin's "are you ready, Elysia" is a "但让啦” meaning "Of course!" which i feel carry more energy and omph than the "sure" we got
Elysia's line to the HoC with the big attack is "and create a future, we could not reach", the Chinese is "去创造我们所未能迎接的, 未来吧“ translating the same but could also mean "go create the future we were not able to welcome"
Overall the translation is very decent and get the message/vibes across but these are a few points that i felt worthy (or were interesting enough) to point out that could add more context
As a chinese person myself too, I agree with everything said in here! My first reaction when i saw the translations were literally "hmm... not quite right" or "could've added more context." But overall, yes, the translations were still good!
@@axirex603 that’s definitely how I feel. It’s good but personally I could see places where something could be rephrased to capture even more of the original meaning or just reworked to flow better. It didn’t ruin anything but it’s one of those things like minor bugs in the game
@@nanhty8321 Indeed!
Not tryna ruin stuff here but it's “当然啦” the word is a little wrong lo l
@@jilxyris shhhh
(You aren't wrong though! =v=)
Been waiting for this one💖
Thank you for waiting!! :D
watching this animated short from start to finish was an entire gold mine! so many cool little details are seen if u look close enough and the style they took in from oldies anime into the more modern style was really awesome 😭😭 and the credit scenes were so nostalgic and sad the fact that elysia said the words she first said in the ER concept trailer and played the music where she was alone in the flowerbeds is also used
elysia really is the start and end of everything ❤️ amazing reaction i love it!! completely worth the wait 😆 and of course let's go elyeden nation !!!
Thank you for the nice because of you and TruE reaction video, the one that i give salute for Mihoyo is that even the lyrics song is also a story about PE like the one when she said "in the world waiting to be lit" is how HoTE is preapring to burn the earth surface and that they should keep all the tears to make sure the new world after being burned will still have live left, i know i don't deserve Herscher Elysia but i still want to have her in 6.0 so that i can make tribute to the one that opens up a path toward herscher that have human ego in current era, well, then let us wait for 1 more month before she come home shall we?
Worth while waiting for your video. Discovered new things.
DAMN it’s hard to believe it’s only been a year since the Elysian Realm’s first release, feels way longer than that!! Definitely one of the best arcs, for I really love them all as a group - so well written. Sad that this seems to be the end of the journey in the realm, but wouldn’t have had it any other way; grand and spectacular as Elysia put it. And as we move forward, this will be something that we always cherish!! 💖🔥👌
As usual, great reaction of a mood, Kodla !! Good luck to us all when pulling for this pristine Goddess ✨
lemme just add, Kalpas’ end-credit pre-Flame Chaser era scene..: 🥵
I just freaking realise you can see the Ego Signet shape at the back of Elysia. At 13:01
Also to answer your question about what is the power Elysia is using, she's using Kevin Killer Mk 66, which will delete the entirety of the Elysian Realm, the only one who can activate it is Elysia.
I like your analysis of this short animation, nice video reaction, love u
Best animated short ever! Time to watch it again for the 10000th time
I hope that the animation of Crash 3 gets better and better.
I love how the final ost of the post credit scene (where you see Elysia and the flowers) is a direct reference to the OST that plays in the first concept trailer of the Elysian Realm, when the name of Elysia shows up.
The story begins with Elysia and ends with Elysia.
Truly a masterpiece.
I really loved the retro feel to this animation, really a fitting way to bring an arc about the PE to a close.
And as much as I really liked this arc, I’m excited to get back to the Kiana-Dudu storyline.
One of the best story arc, gonna miss Elysia and 13 Flamechasers 🌸🌸🌸
Woahh i was rewatching your videos and just saw this!!
14:42 it's just represent that she is the arrow itself :))
From the time Elysia arrived in the game I knew she will be a very important character in the story. I felt very strong emotion upon her very iconic "Hi!" as she waves at you in greeting. She is always positive to the point that she sounds sus in her sincereness, but in the end her beauty, her lovable disposition and her attitude were very charming for me.
And now, she ascends to become the Herrscher of Humanity / Ego .... I remember Madoka on their similarity. Sacrifice to save all and moving forward to the future. Color aside, they are both embodiment of struggles and hope.
The song is really something and beautiful as well. I will surely roll for her Herrscher form too! Very nice reaction and analysis as well miss! You never fail to give a great video!
When all of them came together and the lines that Ely said when she transformed got me really emotional because it was her exact same lines when Elysian Realm was also introduced. The 13 Flame-chasers will always be in our hearts!
i stopped playing for a month or two, now im itching again to play! i know i love ely since day 1, this just made me love her more
Ok something i saw , if you see carefully when the giant entity elysia charges up the bow, it forms a pattern SIMILAR to HoH Human form gameplay when you charge attack!
everyone else giving these long comments and here i am....fawning over that smile of Elysia's in the post credits.
she's just so effing beautiful!
I remember someone in the comments of the animated short pointed out that Ellie wanted all 13 of them to fight together as her one final wish. And the fact that all 13 of the sims actually united to battle HoC gives me massive amounts of serotonin.
I always like these videos even if you weren't able to do a full analysis due to trying to avoid spoilers. I'm also trying to avoid any story spoilers for ch. 31. with the lost in translation thing for Elysia, maybe they were trying to make her still sound playful in her response to what Mobius said?
it's amazing how important miHoyo actually made this arc for the lore and understanding of what the Flamechasers actually meant and stood for. really glad they made it a part of the main story after introducing it through Elysian Realm first.
The end credits made me burst into tears. Seeing how some of the FC's lives where b4 the Honkai completely took their peace away. Especially that scene where Eden sung her final goodbyes to Ellie and died bec the PE is where she belonged in her heart.
I love how Eden was in charge of outfits, hence why she appeared first to dress Elysia one last time 😭
I must say that i haven't felt so broken yet happy since everlasting flames cuz seeing the bittersweet ending of kiana and elysia losing many things but also gaining other things in the process makes me wanna cry cuz they've gone such a fucking long way. Kiana's wish to protect all that is beautiful in the world, and elysia's wish to fight honkai together with the 12 flamechasers make me just wanna break down
Thank you for another amazing video, Kodla
Glad i met your channel from APHO2 reaction, your reaction is so good not like some other channel that not playing Honkai and react at the trailer
I was waiting to watch this. Tried to stay away as much as possible. I haven't even finished chapter 30 yet 😭
Edit: I love how they worked with like 3 different animations and artstyles. This is so beautiful.
I love your reactions and analysis~! Keep it up~ 💙🦋
I think the coolest part is that this is the first time they have ever all fought together in one places.
Im so excited for this I love Elysia she one my fav flame-chasers and I hope I am able to get her
For us this is bittersweet but for Elysia this is the best ending shell ever have.
To all of them working together to fight honkai and to pass her legacy their legacy onto Mei.
Ah what a wonderful end
To
Real
Unblemished
Elysia
also something that I found really interesting was when she did the arrow attack and it cleared the aspect ratio back to normal, she went from the hand drawn to cgi.
So true it is hard to avoid spoilers for a month
The significance of the 13 is really strong for this group.
Seeing how it was the simulated memory of the 13 with Elysia being in the lead to end the 13th herrscher of this current era, left a bitter closure to me about how relations between those flamechasers will never be the same after the 13th herrscher was born in their era... FeelsKalpas here cause Sakura Simp lol...
Somehow I feel that all this with the thirteenth herrscher was expected by Kevin, having Mei handle it as conviniently giving her "answers" while avoiding being reminded of his guilt.
the hoc looking like elysia's crystal flower maybe also another representation of how it took her form in the elysian realm
Such an amazing PV :'))))
My favorite part is the appearance of big Elysia, it's so beautiful ❤️
This is story about 13 Flame Chaser. In Old World they are special and they have power to fight Honkai. And in animation. This is first time and last time 13 Flame Chaser combine and fight. That's is wonderful 😭. I love it. That's reason i use all of my crys to pull Elysia HoHE. 😁
I've been waiting for this for so long lesgooo
The aspect ratio sank when Elysia took damage from 16x9 slowly to 4x3 and then classic tv, and then unsank back when she powered up, along with the art style changed from modern 3D back to 2D and then classic anime, and then reverse
Those are the best and most unique parts of this animation 👌👌
Idk why but the 90s style animation reminds me of Neon Genesis Evangelion and the CG (especially the giant Elysia) reminds me of the CG from Evangelion 3.0+1.0 thrice upon a time
Dawei really is a fan of that anime haha 😆
Anyone notice Kevin's weapon when facing the Honkai beast? It's a golden baseball bat just like what Kiana used in Star City. Was a nice e touch.
Really love your reactions to this❤️❤️ elysiaaa🥲💗
Elysia's final lines after transforming to herrscher form were from the elysian realm trailer, but the tone were different to the point you can point out how proud ellie is at this new cg
When the shorts ended I sat still with black screen for good ten minutes
What really got me is thinking about how elysia was sad that the flamechasers had never all fought together and then this is the first and last time
However visitor, your road ahead never ends, right?
In Chinese
Elysian Realm PV:但来访者,你的道路仍将前进,不是吗?
Because of you: 但来访者,你们的道路仍将前进,不是吗?
“你”can only mean one person,“你们”can mean many people.
So this is what Ellie said to all players, not just Mei.
So don't be sad, Follow your heart and move forward.
One thing I noticed is that Elysia's transformation was so similar to Kiana's transformation as the HoF. Only instead of Gems of Power, it was the FC Signets. I can't even imagine how powerful HoH would be if Elysia was still alive. Because that right there, she held the power of humanity itself. And this was done by uniting all Flamechasers, something that they could not do when they were alive.
HoH must Kiana's endgame, what similar kind of power that she needs to defeat the coming Herrscher of the End.
So no more of the Elysian realm and the flame chasers... damn how sad I am right now...
the part where elysia sacrificed her own being to become a huge yellow arrow and killed the herrscher of corruption was so amazing, watching this whole vid made me cry tbh
For the Thirteen Flame-chasers ... Elysian Realm wraps up ..
Thats so sad 🥹
They want fight together afterall, no matter the unhappy relationships between specific members.
When it is about Elysia or defeating honkai, they work as one with no doubt. They fuse into the arrow Elysia changes to, and beat the HotE-level herrscher of digital space. What an gorgeous end!
I broke so hard when see pardofelis smiling and standing near Sakura. With all flamechasers around this time she looks like a proud hero and not be scared any more!
for some animation feeling share , the first fight part there got hint that elysia wanted hoc to corrupt her data, got 2 fast screen showing elysia smile face.
after elysia go in hoc database [the 4:3 tv part], after hoc say farewell elysia , delect complete. just few second elysia is overwrite back the elysian ream data to call back/recover all 12 fc data which have corrupt by hoc. from elysia body recover back to sketch line and her eden give her the colour shirt[ just like last time conversation, eden was design all her outfit].
elysia main wish was to team up all 13 of them to defect the honkai. this is what elysia didnt just use the final ultimate power direct shot to hoc.
she want all of them 13 fc to defect honkai that was never happen on past they alive.
final fight past, hoc try to reward back , but elysia use 12 fc signal as arrow to freeze hoc movement, the final giant eli was the kevin killer 666 [ this guessing, from last vill v conversation, all she made the weapon fail to kill kevin, but she manage to made one concept -- want kill kevin only success it to destroy the elysian ream, after vill v made this kk666, she pass the activation code to ely ].
this what i guessing, elysia can just use kk666 at first fight, but she decide goin hoc to recover back all of them, this why mobius say to elysia, want to teamup them together.
~the ending of the flame chasers must be grand and spectacular~ this has alway say by elysia from begin.
emmm, now i realize why elysia was the first kill by hoc ,, hoc scare the kk666, when hoc friend to evil vill v .... since hoc real world data was delete by rawen ...
Idk if you know this, but Elysian support signet is called because of you
10:44 Deleted but not Write Zero. Deleted basically just label the section to be rewriteable but it is still recoverable as long as its not wrote over, while Write Zero basically flip all the switch to 0 effectively rendering it unrecoverable.
Wow
I can’t watch the full video yet I need to be patient 💞💜💞💜
14:43 Thats probably her power as a Herrscher of Human/Origin.
A bit of my own theory, it may be a spoiler "IF" that's were the case.
But what if Elysia herself is the Will of the Honkai?... Since the sims mentioned that it didn't existed in their era, and it would also make sense that the 13th divine key(The suit Himeko used to hold the gem of haste) is only a suit that can hold and use the herrscher gem's power because that suit may contain Elysia's Ego powers..... To add it up, Elysia's playable Herrscher battlesuit's Ulti/Burst mode is called Herrscher of Origin instead of Ego... So most likely it's a hint "IF" that's the case, she is the Will of the Honkai and she appears a white figure and copies the appearance of others because she lost her Ego or "Self".
Mihoyo remembering us we are here only to suffer
If you look closely from the moment she fires the arrow, Elysia becomes the arrow.
I'm not sure if the Visitor is us, even though we technically travel through time and space in various events to "obtain" different Valkyries. Like isn't Mei the one that entered the Elysian Realm from the start?
But I have to say, seeing the 12 Flame Chasers in their happiest times in the Old Era is kinda heart-wrenching, how their lives are robbed so many years ago.
I think that final move Elysia did was actually summoned the Kevin Killer Mk 666. It uses Elysia as the required catalyst to engage, which pretty much understandable since no matter how hard HoC tried, it could not have complete control over Kevin Killer Mk666.
Well, that weapon literally deleted everything. Poof, and ER is gone, with everything in it.
