HI3rd player reacts to HI3rd x HSR collab video!

[@CelesNihility]

at around 30 seconds, Sparkle used illusion to create the desert surface of Venus, Vita's home planet, to piss her off. Then she called Vita "Sa" and then she used the Venusian Mechas Basically just trying to make her mad. And Vita is just entertaining sparkle's performance and see what she can offer.

[@SlimeTenseiImpact]

So i went to jp official hi3 channel. And saw a comment there that looked like it might be whats going on. Becuase Sparkle like to mess with people, the illusion that mightve looked like the outer ring is probably the Venus planes illusion. I mean considering that Sparkle said Sa in front of Vita's face, that ciuld be it. But i dint know

[@kuroyuuki7979]

if this is canon, i think this happens after vita joins the Masked fool. i dont know why people seem to be oblivious to vita wearing a mask in the video which implies this happens after chapter 5.

[@lxlYukilxl]

tbh, I never played both games but it also seemed like that to me. They were just having a fun spar, sparkle still lost but neither of them went 100%. It's like one of those friendly matches you do with colleagues

[@lop90ful1]

Worst crime is that Bronya and Welt didnt see it lol

[@HirakiSHIKI]

So true, the whole time I was like "Where's Arahato!?" Ziggy & Welt would be going crazy.

[@GrimMeowning]

Welt is still here, he will leave to HSR only after around 7-ish years from the moment on the video.

[@Sergio-gy3il]

sparkle powers are ilusion based. the hourglase was a Gundam seed reference (when the MC activate the seed state)

[@shiori2182]

No. That hourglass is most likely a reference to Sa's authority during the part 1.5 story.

[@Sergio-gy3il]

@shiori2182 No, look up the scene on KZbin, the entire scene is identical.A close-up of the glowing hourglass(seed), followed by a close-up of the mecha pilot's eyes changing color and finally using the funnels to attack. The hourglass that Vita used against SA was to rewind time, and that was already a power of Vita, it is not a reference to herself.

[@charlesguba2942]

the hourglass did come out in chapter 4, its was to summon star traveler. the sprout of whishing(the hourglass) is confusing as heck, so im unsure of any facts regarding it.

[@MA-lz7vc]

There's actually nothing to explain about the robot. It was originally a robot that belonged to Sa, and after Vita got Sa's powers, it became hers. The only thing the developers changed was the size and design of the robot. About the event... As far as I remember, it was said that the event will not be canonical, but something like "what if". We'll see what happens in the end, but I'm looking forward to see playable Vita in HSR and further development of canonical interactions between Hi3rd and HSR HOYO GIVE ME VITA IN HSR PLEASE, I'LL GIVE YOU MY WALLET

[@ottovw]

2:59 I'm pretty sure the desert is part of a Thelma and Louise theme they are going with at the end of the trailer.

[@piggletimpact]

Great to see you upload MG

[@misamisa5145]

No one else thought of judah 0th mode when all the gears showed up?

[@HirakiSHIKI]

Absolutely peak and breathtaking animated short. It's been a while since we got one, and we need more of these for HI3rd just like we had for Part 1.

[@GumBall16511]

My personal take and theory about Vita joining Masked fools (Elation) is that maybe she wants something from them idk, we still don't know what vita's end goal now that she breaks off Sa's. In the case of her being out of character joining masked fools I'm 50/50, since yes she fights for her freedom but now she is joining another god on the other hand like MG said, its not like she will worship Aha or something. We really have to wait and see what is Vita up to. Nonetheless, amazing animation and exited for the collab... I wish that Bronya and Welt see this mecha fight lol ... they be geeking 🤣🤣

[@HandOn-c40009]

yeah you don't have to worship the aeon to gain power, you just have to believe in the philosopy that the aeon vaguely represented, even the one that basically opposed the philospy like Mourning Actor and Doctor of Chaos who both oppose Elation and Nihility but gain power from them too Mourning Actor believe that elation in moderation in contrast to Masked fool Elation at the expense of other while doctor of chaos are people who are trying to find meaning in Nihility

[@Gar-z7e]

I think theyre trying to get newer players into HI3rd to smoothen the eventual transition to adding more HI3rd stuff in HSR. Some ppl might not like it, but then they woulda stopped playing the moment welt appeared so who cares.

[@Alice_Haukea]

I haven't played any Hi3 yet, but I play the other 3 Hoyoverse games. Unless there is something I've simply missed, this trailer is the first time we see THIS level of power from Sparkle. Given the tone and dialogue of this trailer however, it's reasonable to assume that neither of them were going all out. They were having fun first. I have no doubts in my mind that Vita would win the fight 100% of the time, but just how much was she holding back in this fight? Was she fighting Sparkle with 50% of her power? 20%? What?

[@markeedionisio5788]

We'll she didn't used her true form so i guess she's still using a little bit of her power to entertain sparkle

[@rpk321]

She is a clone of a bootleg Honkai Goddess, who from what I heard created and destroyed worlds before, so....eh.

[@noy4tek450]

Sparkle could be an enemator of elation all masked fools are getting there Mask from them the Aoen of Elation just say that they can do what they want Elation just Prank the masked fools them self

[@theSeventhDruid]

Just a reminder, Concept trailers in honkai impact are not canon.

[@eqipendragon7744]

Someone said its cannon, and that fight happen before Welt go to HSR Universe

[@FD-wl7xq]

@@eqipendragon7744then their wrong.Reburn 2 in concept and featured the literal astral express and welt going to space in it with Eileen aka march also appearing.And we know Hineko found the express first

[@Sheppart92]

At least a part of it happend in the Main story of Honkai where Sparkle comes and helps Vita, which plays in 2023, 4 years after the end of Main Story Part 1 that was 2019 (HI3 ingame time, not real world time). Welt travels to the HSR world sometime 2028 or 2030 after he found evidence that the Sky People target Himeko from the HSR universe and he wanted to protect her after he let Himeko in his universe die. The collab we get in 7.9 is from how i understood it so far something like a "What if" story or so

[@かんちょう-q9p]

​@@Sheppart92 I think it happens before Sparkle got into the main story

[@natasha01108]

@@FD-wl7xqbecoz that reburn 2 was the end not the beginning. That is why they released it in hi3 channel to make player assume that is indeed a beginning but its really not. Reburn 2 take part after March 7th main story arc after she regained her memory and cannot be with express anymore.

[@ArchAngelKnights]

it doesnt make sense how Vita got the robot from Sa. They made SA seem pretty incompetent in Honkai which I dont think is the case. There has to be a reason for the things shes done (outside what we already know) and the way theyve played out otherwise its just bad writing with plot holes. Im sorry to say. I still enjoy the story but the story is pretty messy at times Sa is still technically alive but just regaining her energy too so theres that.

[@HandOn-c40009]

How do people still think that Sa is alive when Vita literally rip the Eye of bodhi from her? The entire plot of the seven vita arc was about Vita manipulating her into fighting an enemy she can't win against aka kiana so she can take over Sa power and kill her. I'm sorry but Honkai player need to have basic reading comprehension, seriously Sparkle literally call Vita Sa here. Vita is Sa now. so no there other Sa out there.

[@zaphkiel3701]

​@@HandOn-c40009 Misteln literally said that the Sa they fought in Phosphorus is just a nail of her shes still rooted in the sea of quanta and recovering. I think youre the one who needs to read the game again

@@zaphkiel3701thats before vita takes over her authority and finishes her… which NONE of them are aware even happened. She pretended to be out of the fight when she turned back time so she could sneak in and overtake her authority they literally say it in the scene
