Honkai Impact 3rd Animated Short: Graduation Trip

[@brixzz2568]

I love how Sirin is proud to Kiana it hits me hard when she said "You've done well"

[@lisboah]

HoV believed that the only way to purify the world was by wiping out humanity. But Kiana had proven that there was other way. HoV can now rest in peace knowing that Kiana will ensure that no one else will have to suffer like Sirin did. She now knows that there will never be another monster like her, and she's glad.

[@Hoangvlh]

I have not been able to play the game for over a year. What is going on? Scrapping Kiana like ash from pokemon? idk how far this game is going to continue either. Or is this them trying to start ending the whole game itself?

@@zerowitches well no, spoilers ofc but she gained new powers and is on her way to defeat to Kevin. She also has to seal herself inside the moon to save humanity and this is most likely the last time she’ll see her friends and the last time she will be seen for a very long time but maybe she will appear in part 2. The entire story up until now was part 1, ending with kiana being sealed in the moon while reliving her memories and life as she fades, how it’s executed it makes it seems like she’s going to die and I guess in a way she kinda is.

[@porkman2775]

It is truly ironic. But then again, Otto knew that what he was doing was wrong, and he hated himself for it. He never asked for anybody to understand because he probebly dident either.

[@tacticool3]

Otto apocalypse going "let the people from the past stay in the past." it hits sooo much harder with him saying it.

[@Boomblox5896]

Now that I think about it, his new plan to not revive Kallen, but go back into the past to make a new future for Kallen instead sorta upholds this, because he was able to contain it within the past instead of shifting everything around to bring Kallen into the present.

[@debrisj4919]

He has built the future that Kallen so desired, starting by overthrowing the late overseer He wants to enjoy the view together with her

[@Calvin_M.]

Indeed, he went through this path and knows well it doesn't lead nowhere. Perhaps it was a mistake all along, but it was too late for him to change things? 🥲

[@EnhancedTrashBin]

@@Calvin_M. yeah, when you think about it, a lot of villains never actually got to their goal that they wanted nor accomplished because in almost every story they tend to either lose track of their goal and abandoned it entirely or a typical hero would stop them no matter how close they were to their plan.

[@IshimurA99]

To me, this game is like an anime about the growth and development of kiana and her teammates. Throughout their journey, Kiana and her group of friends have experienced countless happy and sad stories, tearful partings, fiery battles with enemies, and finally being reunited with each people she treasures,..all of which makes for an excellent storyline about kiana's journey: from an ordinary Valkyries to becoming a herrscher, the hero who will save humanity. Thanks again to Hoyoverse for creating such a great game, spending 7 years together has made me appreciate them more than ever. and from this moment on, kiana's journey will become a legend. (Message: maybe when people read this comment there will be people who hate and like, but I don't care about that, because this is the most sincere thought I have for the game that has stuck with me for the past 7 years and also kiana: my favorite character in this game, so if you don't want to read it that's okay,I don't feel sad about that.And as a longtime captain, I would like to thank everyone who has been with this game during this time, the journey of kiana has been able to get this far in part thanks to everyone's support , once again sincerely thank you all! Thanks for the 3.8k like!)

The part that got me the most when Kiana asked Mei, “Do we have to part ways again here and now?” And Mei responded back with, “No, we will stay together till the end this time.” at the end Kiana still got on the train to leave as Mei watched her go 🥲

[@sonicEchris88]

The last scene was literally heart-breaking because it not only makes you realize that part of her will try to return to Earth but actually the truth is more poignant because it shows that Kiana in the meantime is sealed on the Moon until 8 or 10 years pass. The song at the end is like her sort of hope that her friends will not forget her and that for her to have left them is always painful anyway , she will have to wait all that time alone while those she loves grow up without her physically 😭

can i ask why 8-10 years? Thought she was going to be there indefinently

[@silverrose1255]

@Kizami I From what I remember, Earth needs time to heal after the events of Project Stigma. In its current state, it won't be able to withstand the full power of finality, aka Kiana. So once Earth heals (estimation 8-10, some say 15 years), she'll be able to return to earth and something else i can't quite remember, but that's the jist, i believe.

[@elaeka3685]

I doubt they'll ever forget her, but even though its only 8-10 years, its still sad that Kiana won't get to spend her youth with her friends.

[@carlosmaia37]

Interesting point of view, I'd understood that a part of her will always remain on earth, not physically, but will stay on the heart of her friends. That nod was she agreeing to do what had to be done hoping that her loved ones will remain safe on earth. Also, for the others, APHO hints that Kiana is on them moon, and APHO takes place 8 years after main story. Considering that the Sky people want to harness Honkai energy, and that 99% of Honkai energy is on the moon, maybe APHO will take us to Kiana again?

[@zuikatsu]

The scene with little Kiana in the snow really hit me deeply. She picks herself up and she tells her young self: "It's all worth it. It'll be okay. Trust yourself."

This hurts so much. Kiana’s story kind of applies to the people who started Honkai when it came out. So basically when we all started playing we were in middle school, then went to high school, and most of the Honkai players now are either juniors or seniors, so this whole “Graduation Trip” animation really hits all of us hard. For some reason when all the villains disappear it makes me tear up. They were all relatable villains. I related to the Herrscher of Dominion SO MUCH. Seeing her disappear made me cry “So, is this goodbye?” BRUH I FKING WISH DEPRESSION WERE THAT EASY TO GO AWAY GODDD Especially with COVID and all the ups and downs people went through. When that door closes on the train and you feel it echo. Like MY GOD. It tells the audience that whil she’s fine with leaving, it’s still so scary. And that’s what’s happening with seniors this year. Getting on the plane to go to college, or a bus, or your parents finally leaving you behind after helping you decorate your dorm. Like shit…. I’m by myself.

This journey have made me look differently on things in life, and as such I am glad. I am glad I got to experience the story of Kiana, of Mei, of Bronya, and all the others.

Friendly reminder that this Goodbye is as heart-wrenching for us as it is for the MiHoYo Devs themselves. They've been pouring their souls into Kiana since their humble origins, since Fly Me To The Moon, developing a beautiful character throughout GGZ and HI3rd until success, and now they're finally ready to put their most beloved mascot to rest and move on. You can see it in all the little hints, easter eggs and references scattered throughout the video, the sheer love for this character and the world around her, there's even a little nod to Houkai Gakuen 2 (GunGirlZ) in the OST Da Capo at 5:30 Kiana is their, our, beloved child. This a graduation not only for Kiana in the story, but also for MiHoYo/Hoyoverse themselves as a company. They Graduated from Kiana, and with Kiana, in the most beautiful way possible.

[@farazrival7769]

finality, truth, and origin herrscher is a new type or advanced evolution of herrscher?

[@ziomingamingw6734]

@@farazrival7769 Truth is metamorphosis, evolution of Reason Core. Bronya wanted to go towards the future, so instead on just relying on the past burden of previous HoR's, she used them to create new way forward and thus gained true power of HoR, becoming Herrscher of Truth. That power is a lot more versitale and it can even build or repair things like star gate or burned chips. Herrscher of Origin is the power of small and sincere wishes that accumulates together to make something big happen. Elysia, warrior from previous era, was born a Herrscher with origin authority, but she lived with humans and loved them so much, that she sacrificed herself and used that power to make possible for Herrscher in next era to retain they humanity (Some of the Herrschers are created without host, so they are still honkai technically, but they are not puppet of the will of honkai anymore). Mei was able to meet heroes of previous era in an special simulation, gain they knowledge and experience, learn about their past, and thanks to becoming a sucessor, she was able to found "space of origin" while they were dealing with Project Stigma (Project that Kevin started) and she got authority of Origin from Elysia, later confirming to Kiana that she's now both Herrscher of Thunder and Herrscher of Origin. And Herrscher of Finality... Well, it's complicated but in a short way I can say it like that: Many "cycles" of planet earth ago, cocoon of finality landed on earth tried to make it similar to itself, beacause Honkai is like aliens that want to find to make humans similiar to them beacause they want to hug someone, but honkai did it bad way and then kind of decided to destroy humanity like a lot of other planets, not sure if on purpose or not. Thanks to work of heroes from the last era, and our girls from current era, main trio was able to finally got to the cocoon od Finality, where Kiana recieved authority from other Herrschers of current era (Including the ones that they've won with) and combined power of them, gave her power of Finality. After beating up Kevin, she got the rest of Finality authority, becoming full Herrscher of Finality, not artifical one like before the battle and during the battle. And if you are asking what power of Finality does... It's basically the whole existence of Honkai, power that to some extend trascends the space and time and it's the power that caused the Honkai to re-appear in every era, but now thanks to Kiana, they've transcended this cycle.

I have never been this impacted by a game. I only started playing it back in 2020, not long before the 3rd anniversary, but man has the story never ceased to reel me in. After nearly 3 years of playing this game, I am super happy to see where we are at now. Kiana Kaslana, K423, and the universe that is Honkai Impact, has been the best thing miHoYo has ever created. Never did I think that a random KZbin ad from a random video would ever get me this hooked on such a game, such a story, such a universe, and such a character. I have shed plenty of tears over these characters here, but I’m done crying now. The story of Kiana Kaslana was grand and the amount of people she has impacted through this game and across the world is nothing short of amazing. Her story may be over for now, but it is only a chapter. We are about to step into the next chapter of the story. Kiana is gone, but she will return. While she is gone, we should do our parts. I’m not sure how many people will read this, but I challenge you: take the time to move forward with yourself. This game is truly just a game, but the emotions that we feel are anything but. Give yourself the space to gather yourself, to look on the past as it is, and focus on the present. In the game, Kiana said it should take 5 to 10 years or so (knowing her, it’ll somehow be less). Take the time to go improve your lives: go get that job; get that degree; find yourself; find another; live your life and make your own story. Hold your head high, and live your life with a smile! Smile so the world knows that there are good things to come! *This is not the end; it’s only the beginning. Let’s fight for all that is beautiful in the world, and may all the beauty be blessed.*

I've never played "Honkai Impact 3rd," just "Honkai Star Rail." But watching this and other people reaction, I do understand why its a masterpiece, even though I have not played HI3 and don't have any knowledge of its lore (at least a little bit). Like for example: I found out why some Honkai players would react to Himeko in HSR, as if they're seeing a ghost, or as if they're thinking if it's a dream or not. I encounterd this in other KZbin videos such as memes, comment jokes, and other content creator's reactions. Btw, full respects to all captains who have endured this long ever since the moment in Chapter 9. I do understand what's the point of Chapter 35. It's how this game and its community have come this far. And how far Kiana has come. I do know a little bit of context about Kiana, but I can tell that she is a good written character. What a wild journey for her. The animations and the music is so beautiful btw. I didn't cry from this video, but when I keep watching this and hearing its music (even watching other people's reactions), it hits me so hard that I feel like I want to cry. It make me feel happy and sad at the same freaking time. Even though I have never played Hi3 and never experienced it, I get emotional watching this, because I know and understand why it's a big deal. Sad that I got spoiled, but I'm happy how far you guys have come. Full respects to all the devs for their hard work. And full respects to all captains coming this far. Have a great journey. ❤❤❤

Honestly I know almost nothing about this game and all nor play it but the video alone gives me a slight idea that shit happened in the story. Also, HSR exists, especially with the memes of various some characters

There's no word as "late" when you invest in the story Come aboard to Hyperion and feel the sad , sorrow and happy ending

[@maria89]

​@@kinariamaru9393 I also didn't play this game and just tried to read up about it... If you could please help me, I wanted to ask, so this the scene in this video is before Kiana goes up to the moon, where she'll stay for about 10 years? So "right now" she's on there and the story has "ended"?

[@kinariamaru9393]

@@maria89 basically, the story of Kiana , Mei and Bronya ended in this part right now She need to stay on the moon because her Herrscher finality power Earth doesn't stand a chance bearing her power if she's stay on it The calculation about earth need 10 years to stand with honkai power And this is the end of part 1 of Honkai Impact 3 Currently we are on Honkai Impact 3 part 2 as the story goes to Mars with new Trio characters and possibility connecting all the dots to other Hoyoverse game (Genshin and Star Rail)

@@kinariamaru9393 Thank you so much. I just wanted to confirm that Kiana does have a happy ending, even if she has to wait around 10 years for her to finally get home. Hopefully she's alluded to in the future in other games, living the "happy" part of her ending. I'm sure she will, but as I only play genshin, hopefully I'll get to hear about it too when it happens. Thanks again, I hope you have a lovely lovely day! :)

I never thought an end of a story is so, heartbreaking. Since fly me 2 the moon, I never thought one day I will be able to see her growth, and she have seen my growth. It has been almost 10 years, the days watching her growth is my most precious time, my most nostalgic memories. I don't want this story to end, I don't want to bid farewell, but time does not wait, go forward to the future kiana, we'll all miss you.

Himeko would be so proud if she could see Kiana now. And, I am so happy to see Kiana grow as much as she did through the years. Thank you so much MiHoYo for making a game I could fall in love with for years. May we meet again some day Kiana!

Kiana's character development always brings a tear to my eye

[@DBahamut25]

I’ve stopped playing since I lost my Account when Hoyoverse was officially implemented in the game and I couldn’t bring myself to start over after all the work I put into it. But that never stopped me from loving HI3. This was the very first Mobile game I grew addicted to, shortly after it was first released. My love for it will never waver!

Hope you get it back

i’m ugly sobbing very hard right now but there’s a good reason for that. i feel like i have grown along with this game, and the characters in it. it’s been an emotional rollercoaster that i went through all over again with this short. thank you so much, hyv. this game is such a gem and i’m glad i got to experience the stories of these 3 heroes, and the many other heroes alongside them.
