Congrats on the new hat. Awesome episode

[@geekerandy8773]

FOR THE LEGION!

[@magemasher22]

Love it!

[@CristianLopez-mn1os]

My general, wtf

[@Iru173]

WOAH did not expect to see you here too :D

[@DJSoupandSalad]

59:20 actually, no! They appear in a scene together with the bloodhound guards early on, but if you pay close attention to the conversation, it's almost as if Acheron and Misha are talking past one another and they never directly interact.

[@diralis7316]

While Mikhail is the mechanic of the Astral Express in his time, Astral Express *did* fall into disrepair (possibly because not many pathstriders exists on a fallen path/aeon and no one really boarded the train). Himeko is the one that repaired it and became its Navigator. This generation of the crew, i think, is a completely new one.

[@HaittaaksSes]

59:31 When Acheron and Misha were near each other, Acheron never acknowledged Misha's presence and the conversation was about Clockie and if she could see him.

[@Wolf_In_Inkpuddles]

It's a simple thing that no one ever notices, If you actually re watch it you notice that info and it's so cool!

[@Rietto]

There's lots of hints I'm seeing rewatching these quests, it's pretty fun. Jnan was another huge one, though if you're not like me who talks to every rando NPC, you'd never know what the red flag is about seeing him where you do at a certain point ...

[@Rietto]

*Jno

[@S1eth]

You did good, Mage! The poor wolverine deserves to get some food, too!

[@Redcrimson177]

"Using the power of the Order, I will usher in an endless and infinite Weekend for all mankind" Wait, you're trying to tell me this dude is the Bad Guy??? Anyways, Happy New Year!

[@magemasher22]

😂😂 right?! Happy new year!

[@Kuronosa]

The big problem is that, if never given anything to worry about, Humanity would likely stagnate. Yes, it would seem like paradise at first, but who knows under what conditions that "Utopia" would be under... Dude was giving me Shin Megami Tensei Law Route vibes, especially after what he did to Adventurine.

[@GMaster279]

Ngl did not except March to say to enforce the law on the bloodhound guy. She actually made a good point that we didn’t consider.

[@ashimsy]

I feel it is kinda foreshadowing her past that she did something bad before.... But maybe im looking too much into it

[@ShizukiShirano]

Penacony story is so emotional and thoughtful, i love it. Great Episode, cant wait for you to see the final parts, Mage.

[@MegaGreenkirby]

Ok, this isn't a long episode, in my opinion, just medium-sized. A few things, when you choose to let the dude go on the second question, apparently he gets money and then he gets caught for trying to ursurp the alfalfa family and Sunday has to escort him and when he asks about his kids he says "what kids" now some ppl think he never had kids and was lying, but it could also be he just discarded/forgot about them. When you talked to Himeko asking about the Robin question, that was a Honkai Impact 3rd reference. Also, ironically, the name "Nessun Dorma," the name of the achievement when you got the Harmony, is the same name the banner has when Kafka is running. Also, you haven't finished 2.2, and until the end, it's quite long, but then you have 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 are contnuances in the Luofu, and 2.6 and 2.7 are continuances in Penacony, and after THIS current banner ends, we're already starting 3.0 on an entirely new planet, Greek mythology inspired.

[@ketchuprats8378]

the acheron scene you're thinking of is definitely constructed to make you think she's talking to misha on a first watch, but with this later context, she absolutely isnt. a couple of the biggest things: when you first arrive, you have the option to say you recognize acheron, misha, or both. acheron gets a normal response from firefly, but either of the other 2 make her confused. the mob boss also says "get her, boys" as opposed to "get them" when you tell acheron about clockie and how only you see him, she says shes senses something near you but cant fully place it. she looks directly at misha while saying this, which initially seems like she's saying this to misha, but is actually her saying this to you and looking in the direction of the entity she can vaguely sense

[@magemasher22]

That’s brilliant!!

[@Sleepyhead_Salby]

I don’t know if anyone has said yet but the Himeko speech at 22:11 is a reference to what she goes through in Honkai impact third I believe

[@okamiman73]

41:39 got me good lmao. I didn't have time to comment on your 2024 video when I was watching it at work, but I can say I totally relate to your insecurities about self and voice; probably the reason I can't bring myself to make content either. But if anything, that makes what you do a ton more meaningful, because it's so difficult for you.

[@magemasher22]

I’m sorry you struggle as well, but thank you for the support and kind words 🙏

[@okamiman73]

@@magemasher22 Hey you deserve it. I think you look and sound great in every video I watch tbh. But of course that's not something I can magically give to you.

[@higgitaj]

(not so) fun fact: on Robin's 6th eidolon art where her necklace is off, you can see the scar from getting shot Sunday ain't bluffing

[@magemasher22]

Daaaaaamn :(

[@gargutz907]

That's also why she has problems with her voice on Penacony. She doesn't sing with her damaged throat, she uses Harmony. With the pollution from Order interference she has problems with it. But in Dreamflux reef where Harmony is more pure we can hear that Robin speaks normal again.

[@oriajsyno3032]

Amazing video again Mage! Congrats on unlocking HARM-ony Trailblazer (literally, if build correctly they dish out massive damage like its insane lol) Anyway, its just peak story going forward after this and I am so excited once you reach those stories!

[@SdarkDeathGod]

What a pleasant new year surprise! Happy New Year Mage! You are nearly done with Penacony!

[@magemasher22]

Happy new year!

[@jerryeljeremy7790]

Finally a great Cliffhanger. 😂 Just a tip, after a cutscene usually the story will slow down, that's when you can put the cliffhanger.

[@lihnoikari]

Happy new year Mage! i was sus of Misha quite early tbh but still a great twist in my opinion, and the scene that we say goodbye to him and confront sunday with our new power is amazing! love it so much!

[@magemasher22]

Yeah that was a really touching scene!

[@HaittaaksSes]

Amazing timing from you. I was just wondering what I should be doing while waiting for Genshin servers to come back up and I guess watching this video is the answer.

[@Hnoa__]

I can't believe I'm still crying over this months later! Happy New Year

[@ShizukiShirano]

Happy New Year, Mage and Everyone!

[@magemasher22]

Happy new year!!

[@giorgio9744]

Happy new year to Mage and everyone reading this comment, wish you a wonderful 2025! I think that from this moment of the story you can't receive messages from Misha anymore (even if you pull him) and if look for him in the passanger's list on the Express you can see that he is listed as "departed"😭

[@magemasher22]

That’s so sad!! Thanks for the new year wishes!

[@RoseArtemis24]

Happy New Year Mageothy! Seems like you need to record every single coin flip you ever do now, so that you can keep catching them xD Congrats on your new behattedness!

[@magemasher22]

Happy new year Rose!! I am still in shock.. THREE IN A ROW?!?

[@erhanjpg1467]

Happy New Year, Mage! May your next year be better for your family!

[@magemasher22]

Thank you!🙏

[@ShizukiShirano]

1:19:36 The Letter from Mikhail from this Quest Description you can re-read after you finish Penacony: "Dear future Nameless: I have been waiting for you all this time, future Nameless. Though I know not where you come from, what you look like, or even your name... For now, please allow me to call you the "Trailblazer". I am sure you have learned of who I am by now... A former Astral Express maintenance engineer, an apprentice of little promise, and an old man who lived an entirely unremarkable existence. I set out on the Trailblazing journey so I might learn about life itself and everything within. However, the more I learned, the more I found myself lost in confusion and distress. I thought that I would be able to learn how to live a better life, but all I learned was how to elegantly face the ending fate has paired you with... "Nihility". Everyone in life will eventually find their own answer - to resist or to obey fate - but these questions do not belong to Trailblaze. Although, I fear this question may simply be too profound. I fear even Akivili THEMSELF would not be able to provide a single answer that is unique to Trailblaze. However, as a Nameless... as a person... we have the right to reflect. We have the right to act. We have the right to define our own endings. We have the right to move forward. As we advance down the road to our own ending, there are many things that people are capable of, and our endings will thus take on a completely new meaning. A Nameless does not indulge in temporary dreams, nor would they forsake their birth rights due to pain and suffering. Do you still recall the question I left in my invitation letter, Trailblazer? "Why does life slumber?" "People slumber so that, eventually, they can awaken from their dreams." ...This is the answer that an old Nameless devoted his entire life to finding."

[@onimarutenchu6589]

Man that is so beautifully written, the writers really did an awesome for Penacony.

[@ShizukiShirano]

@@onimarutenchu6589 Agreed (wish they got more budget and direction for even more spectacular story telling in some parts tho).

[@connorradcliffe1769]

congrats on the new episode in the new year

[@magemasher22]

Cheers! Hope you enjoy it!

[@ram3245]

HAPPY NEW YEAR MAGE!! 🎉

[@symmol27]

Happy New Year Mage! A lot of people forget about that puzzle piece it was one of the reasons why I mentioned in one of the previous videos how I noticed things that I didn't catch the first time. If you paid attention you could tell Misha was a nameless, he is also wearing the Astral Express ticket on his handkerchief.

[@themetronomian7239]

Here we go!!! Happy new year mage!! 🎊

[@kaijingarou6526]

"Now the Astral Express will naturally give their answer." 😎 "Through MC!" 🤡 Happy New Year, Mage!

[@magemasher22]

😅 Happy New Year!

[@HaittaaksSes]

1:24:22 Akivili is obviously the Aeon of Trailblaze and I can't remember if you've seen it in anywhere in SU, but Ena is the Aeon of Order.

[@soran_skies]

Happy new year Mage!!! Here's to a hopefully great 2025! 🎉

[@magemasher22]

Happy new year! let’s hope so!

[@HandOn-c40009]

Happy new year! I started this year by pulling yanqing on the standard banner😢 E5 yanqing😢 If you go back to the acheron scene when Acheron said she can sense something invisible she is looking at misha and not clockie There is always third option, that is to eat the bird

[@onimarutenchu6589]

I can't believe you still managed to stuff a few dad jokes this episode 😂😂😂

[@magemasher22]

I will ALWAYS find a way 🤣

[@HaittaaksSes]

55:35 I think that you got that puzzle piece right before "Death" attacked you and Firefly the last time you were here.

[@wolvexus]

14:55 i accidentally cranked up the volume on my headphones while adjusting my jacket (finally feeling like winter in good old MN lmao) and I nearly dropped my phone at “OR HIS KIDS”

[@Rietto]

Only in Penacony can a dream life form achieve sentience and run off on its own, lol.

[@Saboteur-uu1bt]

Happy New Year Mage🎉

[@magemasher22]

Happy new year!

[@ThreeTimesFaster]

Happy New Year from the still in 2024 side of the world! By the way, you might have enough Clock Credits to redeem a couple more Harmony Trailblazer eidolons from the Clockie Statue in Golden Hour.

[@magemasher22]

Happy new year! Ahh I keep forgetting I can do that!

[@miguelyeh9259]

Happy new year

[@edijuna3760]

I think, what you mean when Acheron interacting with clokie. Acheron said she felt a presence of an entity. But can’t see it to mage

[@verez5518]

Don't forget you can exchange your starlight in the store for more pulls

[@LadyLunaNini88]

Happy New Year 2025 Mage!!!

[@magemasher22]

Same to you Lady!

[@inspirer4763]

Robin actually did get shot, that's why she's wearing that chocker on her neck. Her Eidolon 6 picture is without it and you can see a scar where bullet hit her.

[@ShizukiShirano]

31:33 Agreed. IPC can go to their mamas.

[@MandieClaresta]

Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

[@MissMissyArt]

Still 2024 here not 2025 yet 👀

[@magemasher22]

Catch up!

[@recorafina1518]

Misha and Mikhail actually the same name, but Mikhail is like more official

[@hjlm1886]

1:14:33 just to remind you. Micah is the jacked guy in dreemflux reef who calls himself the gravekeeper.

[@magemasher22]

Ahhh yeah!

[@dilili4168]

Мишаааа 💔

[@NDGB4477]

Amisha hahahahaha
