i stand by my echoism hot take

[@GekogaWishnya]

Imagine starting with Consumes 100 HP per second and deals 200 True damage per second to enemies that have either attacked or been attacked by this unit. Attack Range +1, Max HP +15%, ATK +30%, and each attack restores 5% HP and has a 25% chance to Stun targets for 2 seconds

[@KazuoSanVT]

Wait until we make him react to Immediately summons 2 Revenant's Shadow(s) in attack range (up to 3 at a time, they remain after skill expires). Attack Interval is greatly increased. ATK +150%. Attacks deal 190% ATK. Splash area is greatly increased. Talent 1 trigger chance is increased to 100%. Skill activation grants 6 ammo and the skill ends when all ammo are used (Can manually deactivate skill)

[@KebinKaslana10]

Why…? Why do people always put the copypasta without the masteries! At this rate i might just Consume 100 hp per second and deals 200 true damage per second to enemies that have either attacked or been attacked by this unit. Attack range + 1 tile, Max HP + 60% ATK + 120% and each attack restores 5% max HP AND has a 25% chance to stun targets for 5 seconds.

[@ziitania9939]

@KebinKaslana10 Ah, but masteries are so expensive, and time consuming, it's much easier to just Max HP +60%, ATK +230%. Immediately throws an anchor forward, stopping when hitting a target or reaching the max distance, dealing 140% of ATK as Physical damage to all nearby enemies and Stunning them for 6 seconds. If the anchor stops on a tile he can deploy on, Ulpianus will Move to that tile. Skill can be manually deactivated; when skill ends, Ulpianus returns to his original position.

[@KazuoSanVT]

I think It's much easier that After deployment, ATK +70%. Attacks Silence the targets for 10 seconds and the target receives 400 Arts damage every second for the duration of the effect

[@amooosasaki2299]

There are some manga on the official page of Arknights and one of them is about Arturia, it's very short but does an awesome job of showing her character and motivation.

[@KazuoSanVT]

I didn't know it got translated to EN, I'll read up on it!

[@Daixtey]

Heyos again, thanks for continuing this with your friend ^^ I really enjoyed the longer talk about the Sarkaz folklore and their inspiration, as someone who always loved religions from a historical and philosophical context (Not that religious myself, but I love learning), I can say for sure how Arknights handles 'religion' within its lore and story is really fascinating and shows a similar understanding how religion is just another aspect of evolution and history. It also tackles the idea of the "purity" of a faith being challenged by the then inherent exclusion of people to keep the follower base strong. Hortus de Escapismo is an amazing story for that, the way it dabbles into theology and the nature of faith is fascinating, I won't spoil it here but one sentence that stuck with me from the event story has always been. "Where does the believer go, if faith has betrayed itself?", which is a really great philosophical question to ask, if your own belief is not compatible with your faith because either of its structure or its system, but you still firmly believe in the good the faith can bring. What are you then supposed to do. It's stuff like that I could go on for probably an hour or more that is one aspect as to why I love Arknights lore, hope I didn't write too much ^^.

[@KazuoSanVT]

I love Wendigoon videos about icebergs and theology and I love studying it in a historical and philosophical way, It's just so cool sometimes when you think to yourself like "Huh so Jacob went all WWE on God" at one point in there KEKW. I love philosophical questions in video games, like that one line in a Genshin trailer that went "What does freedom really mean when demanded of you by a god" and how the pre-amnesia Dokutah dilemmas of continuing to blanket the world in originium or save Terra. That's why the Kazdel storylines intrigues me so much because it ties you to make a decision ( one so bold that you pick which group of people you want to save whether it's your own or the new world you've fallen in love with ) I pulled off on reading any of the Laterano events since Guide Ahead for now because I wanted to do a one long session of reading once they update on Mostima's lore. But this made me real interested now don't worry. I love comments like these

[@NoTraska]

I actually like this kind of content, thanks for your reactions to arknights songs

[@KazuoSanVT]

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to view!

[@ziitania9939]

Ok, about the 'Evil' Theresa: she was duty bound by the souls and desires of her entire species, the overbearing weight of all of her ancestors were commanding her to exact violence and vengeance. Spoilers about Originium and info from Endfield's Beta below. The whole situation around Originium is quite complicated. Recent information makes it seem like being infected and Assimilated is surprisingly actually 'saving' people, and they can then come back from that Data, as seen in endfield. Anyways, great video! Looking forward to the next one.

[@KazuoSanVT]

I've read about Warfarin using the damaged Shard of Originium to basically reconstruct data and call on the previous Operators of Rhodes and I think that's pretty cool!

[@Schwazoom]

The Arturia wiki entry is off base, in my opinion. She is kinda sociopathic, but she's not sadistic, she genuinely beleives that everyone acting on their inner emotions is how people should act, despite the damage it has caused. She's wanted because she caused a lot of trouble like causing a riot against a local lord in Sargon. In Zwillingsturme, she has character development where (spoiler) She is told by the Witch King of all people that he rideal world cannot happen because she has shut off her own emotion to reflect those of others. She proceeds to save the entire city of Zwillingsturme when they are emotionally drained by magic through channeling her emotions into her music for the very first time instead of reflecting those of others.

[@KazuoSanVT]

I havent had the time to read Zwillingsturme and Hortus yet so my info on the whole Giallo siblings r very limited- I appreciate the summary! Makes me more interested in the whole Laterano / Leithanien side of Terra ( The only story I read briefly is Guide Ahead because of Mostima LMAO )

[@fva1835]

For Theresa, she was already dead being revived, allow her to release her people (the sarkaz) from the originium. (when sarkaz dies, their soul linger within originium) the new event literally allow their soul (full of hate and grudges) to be at peace.

[@KazuoSanVT]

Yeah! Although I do have some questions like, if Theresa doesn't have a lingering trace in originium anymore then what is the consciousness in Civilight Eterna? I thought about it and probably it's just like, soul vs robot kind of thing. While Theresa's memories have been uploaded into the crown, her soul and anything that's 'real' about her has already departed!

Goated song selection as always, great video also god bless for him to love arturia

[@KazuoSanVT]

The music be musicing my guy- he loves his war criminal waifus KEKW

[@Dr.SoloWing]

Part II? Let's go!!!!!

[@KazuoSanVT]

LETS GET IT!

[@Dr.SoloWing]

Finally managed to watch athe whole video and... Nice discussion on Merciful Broken Sun, that's not a common subject to be talked about in reaction videos like this, it's interesting to see this point of view! We are way past 100 likes now, just saying (well, in the end it wasn't needed) xD 44:45 HOW?????????????? "War criminal baddie" is a good definition or Arturia xD Memes aside, as I understand her, she is more of an hedonistc character, but instead of getting pleasure from her own body, she seeks it into "liberating" people's desires, which can have several effects, from saying whats on your mind to make people commit some gruesome acts of violence. If by "being evil" we meant "having the intention of harming others", I wouldn't call her evil here, but if we define evil as "acting selfish and not caring about the consequences of one's actions" then yeah, she is a villain, no arguing about it (this may or may not change in the future, based on what happened by the end of her event) If we're having animation reactions now, may I ask for Nearl Light's for the next one? (I am biased here) xD I'm watching this over three sessions, so I'm doing my part on the 5k views (Starship Troopers meme.gif)!

[@KazuoSanVT]

@@Dr.SoloWing I appreciate it so much! To be honest I was just as blind going into the Revealing reaction since I know only the surface level information about Arturia ( Arknights has made me into a reader even though I hate reading so I'm taking my sweet ass time ) We're halfway into monetization goal so I'm very blessed to have this community support me! For the animation reactions I'm looking into it!

[@Dr.SoloWing]

@@KazuoSanVT I'll surely be around lurking, and commenting from time to time xD

[@capriumnoir6426]

Concerning Pre amnesia Doctor's original plan, Dokutah is the last of their kind because of some "Something" that annihilated their space faring civilization. The planet Terra being covered in originium is something that needed to happen to save Dokutah's civilization. So when Dokutah was faced with the desicion of either saving their civilization or let the people of terra live, Dokutah choose their own kind. By the way the denizens of terra coming to be was unexpected, terra originally had the Teekaz race only but for some reason all the other races came to be.

[@KazuoSanVT]

So basically Terra was a testing ground for Originium that they hoped to plan to use on themselves if I read this correctly- because the only way to know if it works if they test it on something first. That's why I told Kieran that it was some kind of last act of mercy because he's one of the last of his kind, their civilization already got fucked so the way he got his memories erased made him focus on saving Terra I think about the other races popping out is because the animals just gradually evolved to being more humanoid because of assimilation with Originium

[@capriumnoir6426]

@KazuoSanVT At least from what I interpret from reading the story is, I think that its either Originium was supposed to be some sort of new Power source(Magic mana crystals) or some kind of Crystal based super power(Like Civilight Eterna) that can be given to the Doc's civilization to combat that "Something". The whole usb consciousness transfer originium assimilated universe shenanigans being part of it. Unfortunately Oripathy was also a side effect, but we learned that Doc's people are immune, from pre amnesia Doc's journey, so that probably contributed to Doc's desicion.

[@capriumnoir6426]

@KazuoSanVT about the new denizens of terra, I have a feeling that its either some guy from Doc's civilization forgot to isolate their catgirl project before cryo sleeping or the Originium's data in the Assimilated universe contained human and animal data, infecting local fauna in terra, rewiting their dna to quickly evolve to humanoid beings, since we learned in the babel event and latest main story chapter that we slept for around 16,000-13,000, thats really quick for something to evolve to humanoid.

[@KazuoSanVT]

I read that since Originium was more of a harddrive and it may have contained Ancestor DNA or something like that, the animals of Terra was force evolved into more humanoids since they Assimilated into Orginium so they look more like the ancestors now

[@capriumnoir6426]

@ I see

[@hideandslide4586]

Yoooo part 2

[@Haxler8]

Dangerously based takes at the end there

[@KazuoSanVT]

Echoism but Imagine Theresis behind Amiya instead-

[@taldir5228]

Animated pv's reaction with friend when? :3

[@KazuoSanVT]

Hmmm- do you want Kieran to do it or would you prefer someone who works in the art/animation industry?

[@taldir5228]

@KazuoSanVT both options are good. Every one has their own insight to offer

[@alicjacaban2226]

Hm flame shadow giving me vibes Like some epic fantasy series.urge to defeat demon lord intensifies
