W essentially was a kid soldier from Arknights' version of war torn middle east. Whole region has only 2 options - either join radical warmongers in government hellbent on waging war on restoring world dominance, or join some sort of merc or even bandits party. Teresa's vision of a third way was a ray of hope for many, but for W she was more like a savior figure - and she was assassinated by those mercs. Hence not only a juxtaposition of peaceful life of Teresa and Amiya but also a pure hatred towards those assassins

49:30 from what I know of the character's story, the reason for the grin is because seeing the kid pick up the dagger and threaten her is because it reminds her of how she became a mercenary: in the middle of a civil war conflict, she was a cheeky kid who picked up a dead mercenary's dagger and "inherited" that mercenary's name, squad members, and determination. And now she's seeing a kid do the same thing, pointing the dagger at her now. And also, it ties back to the title of the video: The Daggers' Inheritors. She inherited her mercenary life by taking up some dead merc's dagger, and now this kid in front of her seems to be doing the same. imo, given W's character progression that's happened over the story, I'm pretty sure in her past she would've killed the kid (for choosing to fight against her) but in the present time I think she likely would have let the kid go so that the kid can sort-of follow in her footsteps, growing stronger through her desire for revenge. Of course, it's left completely ambiguous what she does with the kid, though. So it's up to the viewer's interpretation.

The girl's father said his daughter would have her own life and fought W to make it happen, then she takes up the knife meaning she choose mercenary life, so the father's sacrifice was for nothing. W grins because of it

There was a similar scene in Darknights story but it's not about Sarkaz mercs, just two Ursus kids in Cherneborg trying to survive after Reunion's attack and W encountered them. She actually helped those two boys and even helped mend their friendship. I think W does have a soft spot for kids at least, depending on the situation.

Like back then she caused 2 kid to lost their lives and now her actions saved 2 lives. I apologize i have multilingual skill issue, so im suck at explaining, i hope you get it lol I'm not sure which one the correct interpretation but the idea is she save lives now.

About what's actually happening in the video. 1)During the Civil War between Sarkaz, W was just one of the kid mercenaries, without a purpose in life and any expectations of their future, but after almost dying was found and saved by Theresa, the King of Sarkaz (pink-haired woman in the video). After that, for W, Theresa became her hope, her reason of existence and even a mother figure that she never had. But at the end of the Civil War, Theresa was betrayed by a group of Sarkaz mercenaries, who assassinated her. Thus, W lost the most important person to her, as well as a reason to live. Because of that, she found for herself a new purpose - to hunt down and kill each and every person who has betrayed and was a reason for Theresa's death, which is what happened in the video. 2) About the small girl and W's smirk. First, to fully understand what's happening, we need to talk about Sarkaz as a race. Sarkaz is the race who are hated by every other race in Terra, and their "home" for thousands of years from time to time was destroyed by other nations and races. Because of that, Sarkaz became very unorganized and divided, mostly working as ruthless mercenaries all over the world. Thus, Sarkaz Mercenary Culture became a very important (and you can almost say dominant) part of Sarkaz Culture. And in this culture, when you are picking a weapon (usually a dagger, as they are very important in Sarkaz Mercenary Culture) of fallen Sarkaz, you are inheriting the "essence" of this Sarkaz - their weapon, their place, their goals, and even their name. So this smirk of W is a mixture of three things: - As W once picked up the dagger of the previous W, taking with it his weapon, place in his squad, and his name, this girl also picked up a dagger of the fallen Sarkaz, thus becoming a new "Dagger Inheritor", and W probably sees her younger self in this girl. - The girl's father wanted for his daughter to escape a Sarkaz Mercenary circle of killing and hatred, and she said so to W, but ironically, as W said to him back, she would not escape it. And by picking a dagger, the girl, just as W said, continued the circle, and became a new Sarkaz Mercenary. - The most important person for W was killed by the mercenaries she was hunting. And by finishing this hunt, she just killed this girl's most important person. And now, she has become for this girl the most hated person she wants to kill, and by that continuing the circle of revenge. TLDR - she sees herself in this girl and the irony of situation. About if she killed the girl - honestly 50/50. She might have killed her, or let her go and become just like herself even more.

totally agree. The moment W mock mostly at herself is because she realized that all Sarkaz live in a circle of hatred and revenge which no one of them can eascape. And Theresa's way is the only way to end the hatred circle, aviod kids like the little girl and herself skipping into that circle again. Iwould say seeing the girl pick up that knife and inherite her father's name remind her of herself, or her father died for nothing are not the main reasons that she mock, she's mocking at herself that if she continues to let the hatred and maddness of Theresa's death control her and continues to do this kind of killings, all of Theresa's working will mean nothing. So yes, she will definately not kill that girl.

In Arknights lore, Sarkaz mercenaries have a tradition about "inheriting" other mercenaries weapons. They usually carry a dagger or some other kind of weapon with their name on it, and when you pick up their weapon, you symbolically also take up on their name, legacy, beliefs, responsibilities, etc. Personally I really love this animation for the action scenes, it gives a good insight into how people fight on Terra, in what conditions, how they use their arts, and how it affects them if they're infected, feels very different from their other animations that had more "heightened" and idealized feel to fight scenes.

As usual you nailed every emotional beat and understood the character like a veteran player would, it's always amazing to see your animation reactions because of that. So I'll focus on a more minor detail, the Hollywood explosion. Because it's actually how all explosives are established to be in Terra. Weapons engineers aren't focused on effective pressure in concentrated spaces the way irl explosives and bullets were optimized. Instead, the sky throwing explosive rocks at them led to the main focus of their weapons being throwing the same rocks at their enemies. So having originium, the backbone of their energy structure, explode like Hollywood gasoline is fitting. This distinction in weapon technologies was a big lore focus in the Rainbow Six Siege crossover, with the real-world operators being confused by Terra's huge yet ineffective explosives and fancy rock-tossing "guns", and Kal making sure nobody gets to study the much more effective weapons for fear of Terra's self-destructive wars getting even more deadly. And speaking of the world being fucked, that's basically what W's smile is about. Plenty of other comments going into more detail, so I'll leave it at "some things are so bad, all you can do is laugh".

44:29 Nice pick up that this was a flashback shot. It's a combination of the color scheme, W's eyes being more "alive" (they become a lot deader after Theresa's death), and also subtle character design details. For one, W is not wearing the pouch that Theresa doodled on and gave to Amiya in this shot, meaning it was given to her sometime before Theresa's death.

Sarkaz's life is a cycle of hate. Hate creates mercenaries - and they create more hate. Hence the title of the movie. Theresa tried to break this cycle, to give her people hope for a peaceful future, but they ( not all of them! ) rejected her. She was betrayed and killed. For young W, Theresa was a hope and to some extent a mother figure...but in a wicked irony, by avenging Theresa's death, W herself once again closed the vicious cycle... I think she did NOT kill the girl. She knocked out a dagger and kicked her towards the town her father had spoken of with the words, "When you grow up, and if you're still be angry, come find me."

At 9:30 and at 32:25 you can see a weird cloud formation. That is one of the signs of a Catastrophe, a large scale natural disaster that can manifest itself in many ways such as: tornados (as shown in the Arknights 2024 Special Commemorative Animation PV), a meteor (also shown in the Arknights 2024 Special Commemorative Animation PV), a meteor shower (occurs in Chapter 1), earthquakes (Ideal City event), volcanic eruptions (Heart of Surging Flame event, So Long Adele event), tsunamis (spoken of in the Under Tides event) , sandstorms (Where Vernal Winds Will Never Blow event), etc. These Catastrophies appear often appear with warning signs; in this case, an aurora within a cloud formation. The altered gravity would be the Catastrophe in this case. Some more context: These Catastrophies can easily destroy entire cities, which is why Mobile/Nomadic Cities exist: to be able to flee. Though the appearance of Catastrophies can generally be predicted, they are known to spawn out of nowhere, so cities generally move constantly out of necessity on preset routes. Those who live on Nomadic Cities don't have to live everyday in fear of getting killed* so many people try to get onto said Cities, hence the line at 12:33. This also highlights the father's love for his child by taking the risk of traveling through the fringes of a Catastrophe and W's determination to kill said father. (You can tell they're at the fringes by the aurora in the distance at 15:00 and at 49:00, underneath which would be the center of the Catastrophe) In the PV, they are inside the Catastrophe itself, as they passed through the cloud walls at 9:48 and 35:05. Just by getting near a Catastrophe you run the risk of becoming infected with Oripathy** or exacerbating existing Oripathy infections due to the high levels of active Originium in the area. *In the Nearl Light event, a mobile city tried to get rid an entire city district of undesirables, i.e. the Infected, by leaving them behind in the predicted path of a Catastrophe. But this is highly frowned upon, so the city tries to played it off as an accident. **Infected are the undesirables in the Arknights universe. To become Infected with Oripathy one has to have prolonged bodily exposure to active originium in any shape or form. The more active the originium the lower the exposure time needed to become Infected. The areas with the most active originum levels are where Catastrophes have just passed through and active Catastrophies have even higher levels. Get cut with active originium or with active originium dust present and you'll get basically rock cancer. Breathe in active originium dust and you'll get lung rock cancer. The rock cancer will grow until you die upon which the rock cancer will rapidly cover your entire body. Then your body will crumble away into highly contagious dust, which will spread Oripathy upon exposure. In some cases, said disintegration becomes explosive. Oripathy is fatal, and there is no cure. When one becomes Infected, they essentially lose all human rights and are treated as subhuman. Those living on Nomadic Cities will be kicked to the slums, and Infected from outside the Nomadic Cities are not allowed in. (In the country of Ursus, Infected found outside of Nomadic Cities are killed on sight.) ***Oripathy will enhance the potency of one's Arts and the more the Infection spreads the greater the enhancement. Arts is the Arknights version of magic and what W is using to turn rocks explosive, and what W's enemy is using to control rocks. However, excessive use of Arts will speed up one's Infection, which is what happened at 43:29 and at 13:18 to W's enemy. ****Both the father and W are Infected

There are a lot of people already explaining some of the lore from this animation, but I just want to explain a small stuff here. 15:30 The dead mercenary's daughter picked up his knife, in parallel with W's flashback of her picking up a knife as well (8:05), and with the title "The Daggers' Inheritors". So the mercenaries life in Kazdel (a fallen country) pretty much just like that. A lot of Sarkaz (the demon race in Arknights) from Kazdel born and raised in war, they didnt know lot of stuff other than war and battle, thus lot of them became mercenary. On that 8:05 flashback, a kid W found a dead mercenary and picked up his dagger. The dead mercenary name (or codename) is "W" btw, W just picked that as her name. She became mercenary since then, thus "Dagger's Inheritors". W smile at the end towards the kid probably just her thinking like "Ah yes, very nostalgic. Mercenary life doesnt change". One dead, and a new one born.

so, cliffnotes version of the lore, W was in a merc company, starts out with ines and hoederer talking about W's death, and this W comes with W's weapon and takes his name/callsign. they travel and fight in the sarcaz civil war. fighting and death constant, and no real better options, eventually she finds theresa and pre amnesia doctor, Theresa had adopted amiya from finding some area wiped out and she was the sole survivor. W falls in love with Theresa, but since Theresa has the Sarcaz crown, she gets killed in part of the civil war. she passes the crown to amiya, and W goes off to get revenge on the mercenaries who took Theresa from her, her respite from the Death and conflict of the sarcaz civil war. in the end the daughter picks up the weapon of her father and faces W, a parallel to Her history of picking up the former W's weapon. its decided by the viewer what happens, but she returns to rhodes no longer consumed by rage, and found herself and gave herself a new name and purpose.

A lot of comments below already added context about W here, let me just add some more lore for understanding. - In the past, during the Sarkaz Civil War, there was a group of mercs involved in some mission. One of the mercs has fallen, but there was a girl which followed the squad as she has nowhere to go. That girl picked the fallen mercs' weapon, namely a dagger, and one of the mercs in the squad asked her whether she knows what does that mean or not. For Sarkaz, picking up the weapon of the fallen warrior means you are inheriting their identity - their weapon, their belongings, and most important, their name. Many Sarkaz don't have names at all, they just choose those for themselves, and this tradition is a part of that. That is how our W became, well, W - it was a codename of the fallen merc, and now it was her name. And also this is where the name "The Daggers' Inheritors" comes from. - While in the squad - you can see her squadmates, Hoederer and Ines in the flashbacks in the middle of the animation before W starts drawing the flower, they became sort of a "foster disfunctional family" for our W - so, while in the squad, they received a mission for guarding the Rhodes Island landship. This is where W met Theresa (the pink haired one), the Queen of Sarkaz (and a twin sister of Theresis, the current regent of Sarkaz throne) and the owner of Rhodes Island - at that time it was named Babel, the organisation founded by Theresa and Kal'tsit to fight the Oripathy and to create a future for the Sarkaz and all the Infected without the curse of Originium. Theresa wanted to put an end to the war and stop the circle of hatred in her way, and for W she became almost a holy figure, her queen, her wannabe-mother, her everything. W even left the squad and remained at Babel to serve Theresa at that time. Theresa even told her that when the war ends, she will give W "a real name". But Theresa was killed by assassins sent by Theresis, her war-thirsty brother (how exactly - it's a VERY long and complicated story full of spoilers for those who don't follow the recent Chinese updates, as those will be on global server only in 6 months) - and W went total bonkers and was going on her revenge quest against those assassins, and this is where we are in this animation. - About the W's smirk in the end - she saw herself in the girl, as others already mentioned in the comments below, and she just feels the intense irony of the situation. I highly doubt she really killed the girl - there is a side story in the game, where W meets a boy in the destroyed city during the events of one of the game's chapters. The situation is the same, W asks him that he can pick up a weapon lying there and try to kill her if he wants, but does he know what it means to pick up a weapon of the fallen Sarkaz? She didn't kill the boy, she isn't THAT mad to kill anyone and everyone, especially a child, she is just sort of a trigger-happy lunatic when it comes to explosives (as you can see here, it's also her Arts, a power derived from Originium - in her case, it's to make things explode) with a severe trauma over Theresa's murder. ------- SPOILER WARNING FOR THOSE WHO DON'T FOLLOW THE RECENT CHINESE LORE ------- - - - - - - - - In the end, W finally sort of received her "real name" after meeting Theresa again, revived by ancient witchcraft and killed once more, this time by Amiya's squad. In the end after the credits you can hear it, now she is Wis'adel, following Amiya, a new Queen of Sarkaz, who inherited the Lord of the Fiends powers (which defines the bearer of the title of the King of Sarkaz, and Amiya is the first "outblood" non-Sarkaz king in history) from Theresa after her death.
@OCBILIBILI
@OCBILIBILI 3 ай бұрын
It's a rather comprehensive summary, but saying that Theresa was killed by Amiya's squad isn't entirely accurate. It's more like she actively chose to delete herself and the souls of all Sarkaz ancestors from the Originium to free the Sarkaz from the influence of hatred.

28:51 The facility (Rhodes Island, the name of Babel's landship) is the before, and the shot of Hoederer and Ines looking back, is the after. Basically, the trio of Hoederer, Ines and W found a home in Babel after years of fighting as mercenaries when they were taken in by Theresa. They all parted ways, with Hoederer and Ines leaving together, and W going her own way, which this shot references. Shortly after that happened, Theresa was assassinated (later in the vid, we see that the child's mobile that hung over Amiya's bed stained with blood, as well as Theresa lying in a pool of blood, of course). W's regret is palpable; did she regret leaving Theresa, could she have prevented her death, did she regret not going with Hoederer and Ines? Perhaps all of the above. But being W, the only recourse she had to respond to that was violence.

Shes just difficult. Also correct in that she got an Alter and class change! Arknights first double limited character 😢 Amazing video and I loved the break down!! Awesome work!

I don't know if I am reading too much into it, but I would like to make an analysis on the storytelling in this piece. We know by now that this is W's quest for revenge for those who killed her loved person (the pink haired girl) choosing to separate from babel in pursuit of her revenge, this is exposed in this piece until she finds them ("mitsuketa" in the audio). One bit of information is that the group who assassinated her loved one did not return and was smuggling SOMETHING. I think this is an important bit of information. What are they smuggling? Why didn't they return after the successful assassination? This question, imho, keeps popping in her mind when pursuing the group, killing one by one. The thing I like most about arknights characters is that they know how to write an actual inteligent character and not what a dumb person think an inteligent character should be. In this case, we can see that W is not a dumb character because of her growing frustration during her revenge quest. She has a hunch of what they are smuggling and you see in her memories of her loved one caring for a child keeps coming over and over. The confirmation comes when W sees the aftermatch of the battle in that ruins. And this is my confirmation that she is an intelingent character. While skimming through the remains, she can make up of what likely happened in that battle and can see that the group is likely trying their hardest to protect whatever they are smuggling, even sacrificing theirselves to it. The hand thightly closed protecting the flower picture, even after death, refusing to open, and even the trap (grenade or bomb) to destroy their trace so no one would pursuit them. And, after the explosion, you can see in her face the expression of "Ahh, so that what it is, they are 'smuggling' a kid". And then, her frustation. Should she keep her quest for revenge? Should she keep hunting them and let the kid die? Her drawing of a flower with a crayon is, for me, the confirmation that she now knows what they are smuggling: a kid. Should W let her live and keep her promise to her loved one? If so, what were W doing until now? 'doko e iku no?'(where are you going?) is the question that pops in her mind and i've seen this question at least two times in this video, but this one seems more like "do you have a place to go/live?". I think this makes her frustration with the crayon and the blood dripping even more powerful. Even more after you learn that the music in the background is being sung by Ancient Sarkaz tongue. Idk... What do you think of my analysis?

honestly being waiting for this video, part about when little girl pick up the knife frick me up the most because what its in tell in Sarkaz culture. W grin is self-mockery about the situation because just like W once the girl also pick the dagger thus title The Dagger's Inheritors" is plural, for W and for her. W was right the girl won't escape, the cicles of Sarkaz fate.

No suprise than many Sarkaz rejected Kazdel.Cyclops,Anasa and probably Gargoyles have normal live in other countries( i think than last group live in Durin cities) even Wendigo think than living in Ursus tundra ( !) is better than Kazdel.every Smart group of Sarkaz think about some escape plan
