100% Blind Reaction To Honkai: Star Rail's Story & Lore

[@Ahmad_1199]

You should really react to welt's story,he's sort of a former god who can create black holes and cut them in half, and he's got the best backstory

[@jourdanfarquharson4697]

Not entirely accurate. It was a divine weapon that allowed him to that. He still has said weapon. His abilities involve creating constructs that are able to fight beings who are god- like

[@conqueenfador5037]

Love how you two didn't explain one thing about what his ability actually is just what he did using them. Let's keep the train going just say what he did and not explain one thing what his powers actually are. Welt revived himself and came back from the dead.

[@yeetertv7409]

​@@conqueenfador5037Lol. Welt created a whole ass army to fight a HoV.

[@cthpng9437]

Also Welt : 2:56

[@conqueenfador5037]

well, let me write one more thing just to confuse new people that are reading it. welt is like Van Hohenheim (AKA the father of the protagonist) from fullmetal alchemist, specifically he has 300,000 souls inside of him, each one has a different memories and knowledge coursing through his head 24/7 cause of his powers, which is why welt is canonically insomniac and he is also somehow amnesiac towards who he actually was beforehand.

Welt's story in HI3 is really interesting, you should look it up

Welt? More like the whole HI3 story is interesting..

The funny thing is there is an Aeon how is called Aha the elation who is just a giant troll and is faction the Masked Fools is just a group of trolls and I think nux would fit perfectly in that faction. I mean his vtuber already has a mask XD.

[@sarahtelles1931]

Himeko from Honkai Impact 3rd had a tragic thing happen to her which is why there are people worried about her fate when she said that she's going to accompany us to Penacony when that world is released

[@th3hom3slic32]

Honestly the same for genshin, since in HI3 she is named Murata and the pyro archon of Natlan also carries the name Murata. Furthermore, the supposed strongest fatui harbinger; Capitano, who is said to be able to kill gods, is heading to Natlan.

[@Autchoiiy]

I mean, they might just be an unplayable Archon. More likely though, since the name of the quest is 'incandescent ode of resurrection' which may imply she dies and is brought back to life.

@@Autchoiiy well...technically Focalors and Rukkha situation isn't the same, Rukkha was already dead at the start of the story

[@Zolwiol]

Right now my interpretation of "Destruction" and "Nanook" with his Stellarons is that the core of his path is that "calamity is the impetus of change" forcing people to act instead of stagnate.

[@FlashStatic]

That would explain why the annihilation gang, a group solely dedicated to his worship and the end of all things would not interest him in the slightest. He is interested in what comes as a result of destruction, not just razing everything to the ground with not even dust left behind.

[@Zolwiol]

@@FlashStatic Oh no Nanook is totally willing to let something get burned to cinders in this conjecture it's that the goal is not a wasteland but if it happens it happens. I also base this on Destruction Blessings in Simulated Universe are often reffering to rebelion and dissolution of set order not mindless slaughter. Then again the extreme of that would be cinders.

I think Nux would appreciate Otto Apocalypse. One of the best antagonists of all time.

[@sarahtelles1931]

I want you to react to the character videos on their official channel so bad,that animated Kafka one was amazing

[@tobyharris4777]

Nux, ironically Genshin actually works somewhat similar to Star Rail in terms of ideas giving power. People obtain Visions, which is a gem that is also kind of a part of you, that grants you elemental powers based on what you're deeply held ambitions are, and only those with a strong enough ambition that aligns with the respective element's philosophy can obtain a Vision.

[@I.disagree]

In both games, their in-game path/class/element also doesn't have to align with the path that they "follow". Like how Ruan Mei is Harmony in-game but follows the Aeon of erudition or how Barbara is hydro despite worshipping Venti. I think this is way more interesting since it's way less restrictive and adds more diversity to characters in a faction/region

[@farhannaik6854]

The game is actually really good they are giving away a free limited 5 star in a few days

Will Stetson made a song for the newest Hoyofair fan videos that was half Genshin and half Star Rail, that mentions that. I wish we could do that again.

[@kawansiesquad6659]

Ashikai is a lore god. She managed to predict fontaines entire archon quest before it released. Her research is thorough and her theories are insanely accurate

[@Trielanat]

If you don't plan on playing the game for yourself, I would encourage you to watch another video of Ashikai: The Mara struck (it goes over the best quest so far in Starrail) Have a nice day :)

[@ramsesthethird4274]

This video is what got me to try out HSR a few months ago. I am now hooked. Thanks Nux, hopefully you can visit HSR in full, epsecially since we have Trashtaste playing through it. I honestly remember when this channel used to just be the extra gaming channel to your main account (though in term of gaming, it was mostly just Amongus). Having a Nux reaction as he plays through HSR would be peak.

[@NeroERX]

You should watch Ashikais Genshin lore videos too, if you’re interested. Minsleifs video only covered the base story followed by the mc and not much really the lore of Teyvat. Would love to see it. :)

[@n1p1n1pn1p]

Nux would make the perfect Sampo Koski

[@ShadowCatGambit]

We are half way there to getting him to react to all character trailers. Start liking the vid, people.

[@Monsterbaane]

Honkai impact trailers have banger music and bits of story and lore in them

[@lykaios8336]

When the description of one of the followers of an Aeon is a LITERALLY A RICK ROLL, you know the lore is great

[@TheDJdragonflame]

Small correction in regards to Emanators: They are not slaves of their path, even when they are blessed by their Aeon. They are still free to stray from their path, have free will and can make decisions as they please. To catch an Aeons attention you have to align with their path extremely closely and perform acts that they approve, which means to get even close to becoming a candidate for receiving a blessing you have to be so committed to your path that you wouldn't willingly stray.

better off reacting to the official Honkai chronicles introduction videos by mihoyo themselves

[@alexcipher592]

I would love to see you react to more from the Honkai star raid universe. The Aeons are awesome

[@SovereignLin123]

The way she introduced the relationship between the 2 games is enough for most Honkai impact player to understand that she hadn't played the Game. Though there are some errors in the relationship between the sea of quanta and the imaginary plus what the Honkai and Honkai energy is, it is still a very solid intro for people that don't plan on playing Honkai impact at all. The one thing I would go out of my way to explain is that the two games take place in the same Universe, the reason a lot of people think that the universes are different is because of a mistranslation from the source material(Chinese) and English. Like how the realms inside the sea of quanta are referred to as "bubbles Universes" in English but are actually "Bubble world" in both Chinese and Japanese. Hope that helps anyone here.

[@overthinkingmoth6006]

if you're interested in honkai lore you should watch the hsr and hi3 animated shorts, they're beautifully animated and convey a lot about the characters even if you haven't played the game (hi3 shorts do contain spoilers tho)

[@slavibg2525]

0:08 the game itself is good not just the stroy lol i recommend playing it. The devs are genuinely one of the most generous devs for a gacha game I've ever seen too like for example they are going to give a free five star character called dr ratio just because they won best mobile game of the year. Also nux if you're reading this somehow i recommend you to venture into Warframe lore next it's lore is REALLY good

[@tararosabelle7368]

I actually think the story is great, the xianzhou luofu had lots of potential however I do think it DID fall flat sadly because of the pacing, and execution of how they presented things. But I really do think Jarilo VI and Belobog did a lot of things correctly that the xianzhou luofu definitely didn’t have as much of an impact in the same way at least not to me.

The Lore of the Honkai verse or rather Hoyoverse lore base on Honkai Impact 3rd manga , the game before starrail and Starrail now is legit (also won’t forget in star rail might imply Genshin is intertwined as well)

[@poppypollen4362]

If you liked this lore summary, you should know, that it barely scratched the surface. The game is not even 2.0 yet, and there's so much history already, it's insane. Try looking up Simulated Universe lore breakdown. It's a device a few scientists we're getting acquainted with in the game created to find out what happened in the real universe that's been lost to history. Or, look up for Aeons lore, it's also crazy. It's the kind of a game you get into for waifus and stay for the story. And hasubandos. Edit: Oh, and in case you really get to this game lore reviews rabbit hole, I suggest you add Reverse:1999 to your list. It's a young indie game that became popular on arrival at global server. Very cool storylines, some of the best and most unique character designs I've seen in gaming, lesbian drama, you know, all the nice stuff.

[@Nataninko]

There is more story and lore in the most recent world, so I duggest nux to react to Ashikai's other HSR videos as well. We're also getting the next world in the next update so there'll be more story and lore very soon Best or worst thing is that Himeko joins us this time and if hoyoverse is planning another "final lesson" Yeah... the community would be in sadness Maybe Nux should react to HI3 lore as well.

[@DanaOtken]

I wouldn't say the setting is superior... but it's going to be easier to write for. For the most part, the lore of Genshin Impact is an enormous jigsaw puzzle covering thousands of years of history where you find random pieces but expect at some point everything will fit together perfectly. (Almost. There are in fact pieces you can neither perceive nor interact with - but there's a valid explanation for that and in fact realizing why it's true fits a lot of other pieces together.) The narrative style of Star Rail is more subjective: while there's a good reason why it's quite reasonable to assume some of what you see is all in your head. It's huge in scale but with fuzzy boundaries - there are things that will never make sense, and there are things which are almost certainly entirely fictitious in-setting... and you are participating in the packaging of dramatically altered versions of your own recent past as popular entertainment. And there are no issues with inserting references to science fiction: while you will find real-world influences in Genshin Impact they both require and get explanation. To be fair, "easier to write and develop for" is a major factor in why Honkai Star Rail was created in the first place. The open-world and real-time physics used in Genshin Impact's engine combined with the need to keep it running on all its platforms means it's usually uncertain what portion of the creator's vision will be realized in the game in time for release. For example, it's clear in retrospect that the developers were trying to create NPC allies in battle for Inazuma, couldn't do it in time, abridged portions of the story as a result, and found lower-profile uses of the feature in Sumeru. Contrariwise, I predicted from the start they'd try for underwater swimming for Fontaine, but I was genuinely surprised they actually had those mechanics out and working for the nation's initial addition to the world. (And by completely replacing the combat system for underwater, they made it so all the playable characters could participate.) Likewise, it's a pain to try out even UI-focused changes to the game. Star Rail is partially a workshop and testing lab - but it's a very good one due to having a good story to tell while being that.

for Star Rail, this only covers the very basics.

Ashikai has made a few more vids like this, but her content is also theories and doesn't necessarily aim to summarize lore. if you want an even deeper rabbit hole along the same wavelength, Honkai Impact 3rd is your next stop. be warned though, the hole goes DEEP. and so do the tears.
