4:50 Passenger infected himself intentionally because he did not care for his life anymore and only wanted vengeance at that point, he infected himself to make sure he sticks to the path of revenging his teacher and also so he could channel arts easier as a infected, and he said he didn’t care if it costed his life. I think he said something like he feels like the terra abandoned him so he’s gonna become someone who’s really got abandoned (becoming a infected).

the whole reference and and reveal this event and characters has is just amazing. passanger ofc is T.S. Elliot, one of the most important 20th century poet. the mention of Padishah Murad which is referencing Murad IV as one of the greatest ottoman sultan. the mention of Khezig means that Terra has it's own version of Mongolian empire and it helps built the Sargon empire. a much more indepth look to the Great Rebellion of ursus and how it started after sarcophagus incident. a mention that the throne of victoria has been vacant for atleast 13 years and also a rough timeline on the start of the twin empress reign. and ofc demons and how every nation been battling them for ages and the sargon/khezig push them back in their campaign approximately more than 1000 years ago, the earliest point in timeline that we have now.

I used to wonder why there were so many people stanning Kaltsit even though she barely showed up in the game but now I know why. This event was really interesting not just because of the various Ex-wife outfits but because of all the lore we got for the different countries especially Ursus and how Kaltsit is involved with them.

Looking at the comments at this point the majority of the AK community seem to be reluctant readers. My book-loving ass is going crazy about how people are unwilling to read though the dialogue. It's not even that hard to understand! The translators did a decent job in this one. But then again maybe its just because I like to read and connect the dots. The more obscure the storytelling the better, since that means I get to use my brain more. It wouldn't be fun if they just explain the story, and it certainly wouldn't be fitting for the characters to act that way. Anyway thanks for the vid Frost, kudos for making an effort to unpeel the story.

[@hermanwillem7057]

yeah it's a shame really. the way they compare to other game stories that didn't even use novel styled approach is just too painful to read (like comparing it to genshin, no offense but you didn't need to think at all to understand genshin story, just watch it). if you compared it to other text based story gacha game, none of them got as hard and as in-depth as AK did in their storywriting even fgo. plus with how heavy the flavor text reliant the lore is i find it even more fascinating to know about just like soulsborne series especially bloodborne. and idk maybe im just too biased, one of the best book I've read is Tolkien's Silmarillion and this event is similar to it in how they tell a history instead of story. recc it if you haven't read it tho

[@theblackrockwolf3543]

I love reading and detailed plots but I don't know what it is about arknights lore that makes me not enjoy reading it. But I think the main points are. 1.too many time jumps and non-linear timeline. 2.Event based stories you have to wait for the events to come out. I find I can't enjoy a story very much if i can only read 1 or 2 chapters at a time 3. Too much time between stages I'm much too focused on trying to clear the stages and learn new ways to win to care about the plot. 4.my 4th and biggest reason is probably that the text is mostly all dialouge. What makes books great is that you can create descriptive images and explain things in detail in a way that feels natural. But dialouge with only occasionally changing pictures of characters and little to no descriptions makes it hard to feel the charactors emotion and become emotionally invested in them. I can tell that arknights has a really nice and detailed lore and i'm sure many people will come to like it, but I find it a shame that I am not one of them.

Gonna wait VERY patiently for that emperors blade video

[@V-Oblivion]

Something to point out from the event. Kal'Tsit tries to stop people from falling into a circle of revenge an violence. Failing with the first two, Elliott and Lillia, yet succeeding with the one we expected not to listen, the Emperor's Blade. Yes, it was mostly because of the damage on his armor that he stopped, but before leaving he laments that Kal'Tsit isn't helping Ursus improve and calls her a Citizen of the Empire (contrasting with the previous title of Traitor he used before). So what I take is that Kal'Tsit will try to help people out of circles of violence, even if all odds are against her, this in turn explains why she would "welcome" the Dokutha even when they are supposed to be responsible for Theresa's death. It just isn't in her nature.

[@MonoReaper]

Wasnt the "only" reason why she didnt take revenge on the Doctor because of her "promise"? Wasnt that the main conversation when she & the doctor reached the Sargophagus after mutated Mephisto was stopped? Or do i remember that wrong?

[@V-Oblivion]

@@MonoReaper Yes, clearly that had a lot to do with her choice. But such wouldn't have mattered had she not have the mentality to let go of her wish for revenge in the first place (as we saw with both Elliot and Lillia) already in her.

These 3 stories conveyed is extremely important to the history of Arknights and to be portrayed this way does it disservice.
