Kafka caring about the MC in Honkai Star Rail

Honestly, the more I play the game, the more she I realise that she is our mom, and she's doing her best to give the best future for the mc, and she's doing everything for us! Even though they all see her as a villain!

[@thefiretailedweasel6206]

My headcanon is that mc has an emotional attachment to Kafka similar to what a child would feel for their mother. I'm glad to see that most other people seem to agree.

[@djaafardjaafar7381]

I mean it's looks liek it ...I hope hoyoverse go with that

[@KaiserVarius]

I don’t.

[@Subpar1O1]

I think it's kind of like an imprinting thing? As in before Kafka wipes MC's memories the image of her becomes a core memory so there's always a sense of familiarity when MC sees Kafka. In canon I wouldn't say it's a parental attachment but the MC definitely knows there's some kind of history between them

[@derfritz4550]

i wouldnt go with mother like about kafka with MC. Shes always on a more flirty route (specialy in her quest) when communicating with us. blade on the other side its totaly different...she cares about him (as seen in the quest) but her behavior with him is far different as with the MC given the rare facts we know about Kafka i would say shes deeply hurt (because elio somehow convinced her that the future etc isnt completely changable and she had a rough life before elio and the stellaron hunters...one with much loss) so shes doing all her shit because she tries not to care about everything everyone else anymore which isnt working around the MC at all..... not sure if shes more flirty with the male MC or its the same but im playing the male one and she is definitly pushing him in some direction with the truth and lie game specialy with the question if the mC cares about her. which is totaly hard to answer because we dont know a friction of her past or better their pasts....so yeah she was defo searching for something in that dialouge..... for me feels more like kafka is kinda crushing on us or was crushing on us but with all this past/future stuff elio is spinning around shes very unsure/hiding it.... the MC on the other hand has no fucking clue but feels connected to her which is also a point i think that clarifies that something was going on between them @@Subpar1O1

not to forget blade saying MC was always the closest always the first man at arms for her in the past.....

The problem from the lore standpoint is that gift comes with some major drawbacks, like how what is happening with mara cursed. The gods in this game are like eldritch of lovecraft.

The picture at 7:11 kinda puzzled me if Elio is actually Nanook or Nanook is the Aeon the Stellaron Hunters worshipped or wut. It's interesting what would be the relationship, since Nanook is seen as the antagonist (or one of) in HSR.

[@snappingmoose]

Oh, the picture is just showing how much she knows what's going to happen in the future. She did say Elio withold key information so she knows enough but not too much or she'll ruin the future but in short she is preparing us to fight Nanook their clearly against that aeon!

[@ENOINN]

All the people in the comments who genuinely believe Kafka is MC’s mother shook me. There’s people also saying SW and Blade are MC’s parents. All because of a leaker who spread half truths and the entire community went with it. People, if you play 1.2 Kafka’s companion quest y’all will realize that the reality is that the “being genetically related” thing doesn’t exist. It’s a lie that Kafka purposely tells you because she plays a truth/lie game with MC in which she tells you a truth and then a lie. The DNA thing IS THE LIE.

[@snappingmoose]

well her feelings for us is genuinely like a mother she literally tries to protect us whenever and lie for our benefit (yanqing encounter) and when we talk about her fondly shes happy not only that even blade says he's surprised that we lasted so long with her and yet even though she wiped our memories she tries to protect us from all harm. we might not be blood related to her but in the end she is a motherly figure to us! (or st the very least a guardian.)

[@ENOINN]

@@snappingmoose I think of her more as a Guardian(like you said)/old friend rather than a mother, because MC’s rs with Kafka it’s still mostly unknown. At the end of the day it’s okay as long as people don’t try to push the Mother thing onto other players because not everyone is comfortable with it. I say this because I’ve seen people try to force Kafka being MC’s mother onto other players ever since the leaks got out but it ended up being not exactly accurate, all because of misinformation… but overall yes! I agree she’s like a guardian!

[@pearlofivris]

@@vial2606 It started out as a game leak but eventually when we got this line in Kafka's companion mission, the "25% of TB's DNA is from Kafka" turned out to be a lie. In the companion mission, Kafka asks TB to play a game with her in which both of them ask each other two questions, one of which they have to answer truthfully and one that they have to lie. By selecting specific choices, it's possible to tell if Kafka was lying or not. The 25% DNA one was a lie, and the truth was that TB is an artificial body created for the purpose of containing a Stellaron. One day, Elio brought TB to Kafka, and she was the one who raised TB, teaching them common sense and combat skills (so yes, technically she's still a mother but in a figurative sense).

[@mgdxxi]

that makes Kafka an antihero, enlighten me please

I just realized we never get to hear the 3rd way to kill Aeon. Akivili being gone isn't clear why. If anything the only way the future Elio seeks to fight against Aeon is to have Trailblazer becoming an Aeon themselves to kill Nanook as Aeon's only able to kill Aeons or alternatively have TB ascended and replace destruction path entirely but that would be considerably a bad ending. Either way once someone ascended to become Aeon theres no good ending waiting for them.

So if you’re going to interact with him he will joke about relationship with her and telling we were working together as a team and spending aaaalll the time together. But he knows that we don’t have any memories of that so he decided to tell couple sentences and disappear. So I’m waiting for more quests with her. And every time she talks to our mc she gives a hints and flirts and then mix all the information with a lie so we wouldn’t be able to understand till the right moment. But it feels so funny everybody around knows what actually bonds us but we don’t have a clue. Ps : other additional theory Himeko knows what happened, and she knew our mc before this start point of the game (before deleted memory) so that’s why she so pissed off with Kafka. As well she wasn’t surprised at all when we joined the team, she knew it’s going to happen before. Cause through the whole story we can recognise that Himeko knows much more than she tells.
