The Lore of【BLUE ARCHIVE】: SRT and Valkyrie

[@gerdanbombales]

30 mins of online class: 😴 4 hrs of Lore Archive: 😁

[@andrewillustrations]

Babe, wake up! New Lore Archive video dropped🗣️

[@juni_junjun]

LETS GOOO LORE ARCHIVEEE! Thanks for all the hard work Yumie!

[@yumietsuchinoko]

No, thank YOU all for your excitement about this, I am beyond thrilled to share this latest release with you all!!

[@tabooization123]

Near 4hrs of lore for this. Props to Bear giving Yumie hugs and choco to keep Yumie sane. He is a great asset to the company

[@yumietsuchinoko]

Bear is the true MVP the man is so integral to making these videos happen, I don't know how I'd be able to put together such long videos without his support!!

[@ceciunni]

Thank you so much for this! I got so much more backstory on all of the characters, especially on Kanna when she came out of nowhere to save Sensei all bloodied up. Didn't realize she was sitting in a cafe reflecting on Sensei's lecture "doing the right thing isn't easy"

[@yumietsuchinoko]

It's my absolute pleasure!! I think Kanna's entire arc is really spectacular, since she has to grapple with the consequences of her actions, as well as trying to find a way to make things right once again. I think the SRT/Valkyrie girls are extremely underrated in the community, and I'm glad to show them some love here!

[@thenoisyninja]

Its always nice when SRT actually has a chance to show off the fact that they’re absolutely an elite unit

[@syaondri]

Here's hoping for Fox Squad in 2nd Vol.F XD

[@LatifaFleuranza]

The way you explained the power dynamic and political tension at the beginning is just brilliant. Well done Yumie-sensei.

[@yumietsuchinoko]

I'm so glad to hear that!! I spent so much time writing and re-writing that section to make sure I fully explained the background behind SRT, Valkyrie, and the General Council, so that is wonderful to hear that it was communicated well!!

[@SilverAranda]

Blue Archive enters in that rare category of "Such a deep Lore for a *Gatcha Game* " Wonderful video! Thank you for all your effort! I shiver and tremble every time I remember what happens in this chapter, and you narration makes it hit harder, I can't wait for the next one (I can't promise I won't cry) Thank you again Yumie for give more life to this wonderful game.

[@yumietsuchinoko]

It's ok, we'll all be sobbing together through Volume F... I get pretty emotional just writing the scripts for these videos, so it is absurdly gratifying to know that it hits you all just as hard when you listen to it. There's something really special about a game that can provoke such strong emotions like that, and I adore sharing this incredible game's story with you all along the way!!

[@Ginko139]

I started playing a few weeks ago after I saw the Aris dance meme then I looked up the song and now here I am watching a 4hrs video about my favourite squad

[@ryuuyukiyama7554]

holy... when you mentioned Lore Archive on stream, I was half-expecting a series released in short episodes, meanwhile this is absolutely massive :o Must have taken an ungodly amount of time to make, thank you so much for your dedication!

[@ryuuyukiyama7554]

@@fernandomalpica1870 Indeed, I am quite pleasantly surprised :D

[@yumietsuchinoko]

You are in for quite the treat, I have a, uh, bit of an obsession with this game and have made very long Lore videos about them I hope you enjoy catching up on them, it makes me so happy to share these with you all!!

[@ryuuyukiyama7554]

@@yumietsuchinoko I'm so stoked! I first stumbled upon your channel through your early guide video on BA, but became so much more invested in your content after seeing your playthrough of volume F and the amount of care you put into voiceacting the characters (I must have cried 7 times on my own while recording Phrenapates' scene for my friend who doesn't play BA, and watching you play through that part made me bawled my eyes out again :'D ) I must admit that I did not come into BA expecting much, but Eden Treaty really just blew my expectations out of the water. As a writer working on a visual novel, I'm genuinely impressed at the amount of mature and philosophical (sometimes even existential) themes presented in this seemingly silly lighthearted game. Even my close friend in the writer team praised BA's storywriting a lot, even tho he disliked gachas and is a very harsh critic in general. (He even resonated with Sensei quite a lot LOL) anyways I apologize for my tangent, thank you for making these content for BA and I'm looking forward to catch up on your previous Lore videos as well :D

[@u.9607]

I just finished all Lore Archive videos and i am soo so grateful for its existing! Last chapter made me cry. I could not read the story in game cuz i`m playing on japanese version, so i had to skip it all. And now, learning what actually did happen there.... I am in shock but also in love.... Like the story is actually SO SO good and i didn`t even know this, and hardly anybody does... With all those events that happened and all those students that we become presious friends with... I love it so so much, thank you a lot for telling this story and i hope the new video will be out soon

[@yumietsuchinoko]

Oh my word, I am so grateful that these videos have been so wonderful to watch!! I think this game's story is one of the best I've ever seen, and sharing it with you all has been such an absolute pleasure. I've cried so many times just making these videos, these characters really are so endearing and seeing them go through so much hardship is absolutely heartwrenching!! I'm in the last stages of the Volume F video, so look forward to that in the next few days!!

[@Who_is_Ari]

LETS GOOOO, I was super looking forward to this when you mentioned that Lore Archive was soon! I still remember back when Vol F had first hit Japan, one of the standout things brought up about Chapter 1 was how Kanna completely redeems herself. I'm still blown away by her actions, and I'm overjoyed as a Sensei that she managed to still live up to her original ideals that she thought she discarded long ago.

[@yumietsuchinoko]

It really is so satisfying to see how she grows as a character, particularly after having given up hope of ever challenging her position in life! I especially adore how she is able to reject the philosophy that the "ends justify the means" as she tries to redeem herself, it's absolutely spectacular!!

[@syaondri]

I was overjoyed when I saw her silhouette and I actually bawled on her CG later on, gosh darn it they got me with her arc

[@Nooooomn]

I shall bawl my eyes again before watching the new installment of the lore Archive, Chapter F We Go

[@haz1414]

At first I thought I was just cold but I soon realised my chills were the result of how good your ability to tell a story is. You have single handedly convinced me to play this game despite my reluctance, keep up the good work!

[@yumietsuchinoko]

My god... this is such a humbling compliment.... thank you for taking the time to write this comment!! I am extremely honored to know that my love of this series and storytelling made such a big impact! You've absolutely made my day with your extremely kind words, I'll try to keep up the good work!!

[@tophrii]

I love how you place so much emphasis on the details that the story just kinda glosses over. It makes it so much more relatable and impactful to understand the smaller specifics of the story.

[@yumietsuchinoko]

I can't even begin to tell you how lovely that is to hear... I think there are a lot of really great, small moments throughout the game that add a lot to the overall narrative, so I'm always looking to flesh things out as much as I can to bring the whole narrative together as best as I can!!

[@sjoepster1214]

It’s finally here fellas! Thank you for making these kind of videos, I am one of the many players who can’t enjoy the game because country reasons, so seeing a video like this is truly awsome!

[@syaondri]

I'd also suggest to see the uploaded translated story on KZbin if you love reading visual novel :D

[@yumietsuchinoko]

That's so wonderful to hear!! I'm always glad to share this story with you all!!

[@ragnaricks]

Despite not being solely focused on Blue Archive, you still def have the best BA contents. I never miss your vids!

[@makie3320]

New Lore Archive video dropped

[@omaru9022]

Just wanted to say that I love your lore Archive videos. I've been watching them during work and they helped me pass the time. They even made me want to play the game . Thank you for the countless hours of entertainment.

[@ecoliismyfriend]

Let's go Yumie!!! The lores!! Blue archive is much deeper than I ever expected!!

[@yumietsuchinoko]

It really is wild how much the writers put into this game; I'm frequently stunned when I go back through the story when writing these scripts and I notice new ways that everything ties together, it's really lovely to see the hard work they've put into this story all come together!!

[@G973_]

Was interested in the memes on the community, next thing i know i binge watched an 18 hour blue archive lore series in a few days. It was quite enjoyable. Take your time on the next part, ill looking forward to it.

[@McKarter]

Been watching this in segments throughout the week, excellent work as always!! . Also, i really like how Act IV was titled The Right Thing. It's like "Act IV: The Right Thing", as well as "Act for the right thing". Thank you for the quality content as per the usual and we hope you got some well deserved rest after this :D

[@yumietsuchinoko]

I am so glad you caught that!! I had a few different names I was trying out for that section, but I loved that one the most since it could be interpreted multiple different ways!

[@sponge563]

This was so good! Just finished, finally. Can’t wait for the rest of Part F! I feel like I understand the story so much better in this format.

[@magallanthepenguin9132]

I found another content creator that does voice commentary! thank you so much Yumie for making these videos because i just don't got the time to read the story. Nexon needs to hire you lol. SRT definitely my favorite school in kivotos

[@yumietsuchinoko]

That is EXACTLY what first inspired me to make these videos; the lore of this game is so good, but it can be hard to find the time to go through it all, especially with some of the finer details, so I'm delighted to share it with you all here!!

[@kogatsukasa]

Good lore. I have to say SRT is more of my preferred squad (at least for RABBIT platoon) to be looked over. Still, Miyako really took a huge character development throughout during Vol. 4 from being distrustful to us to being a lot more open after the rain incident. Really hope we see FOX get through a similar situation 🤔

[@Jeiben.]

Yaaaaaaaay, I love your Lore Archive videos~ Having a new one to binge is the best

[@phoenixproductions2846]

I finally got to watch this and Im very excited to see where this goes. I enjoy blue archive through these videos honestly! I love how almost all the characters in this storyline are likable and in some way redeemable.

[@Raiceuu]

Glad to see another Lore Archive from you, Yumie! Every time I watch these now, I think back to when I first discovered you and your community. For this, I am forever thankful to you! Glad to see you starting off 2024 with a bang!

[@monsieurfudge9990]

Thank you for the hard work in making this lore archive Yumie! I usually listen to these while doing some repetitive work, really makes those moments much more enjoyable.

[@yumietsuchinoko]

That is so fantastic to hear!! I love listening to long video essays when I'm working, so knowing that you all can do that with these videos is so wonderful to hear!!

[@thisaccount9222]

Thanks for the wonderful video, Yumie! As someone who doesn't have the time to go through the story personally, these videos are a huge help! It also makes me feel less bad for skipping through. 😅

[@yumietsuchinoko]

That is SO wonderful to hear!! It can be really time consuming to sit down and read through the story, so I'm extremely happy that I can still share the game's story with you all here!!

Юми, спасибо тебе большое за то что сделала видео менее 4 часов, это очень облегчило моё усваивание этого видоса) С нетерпением жду следующую часть

[@jumpr7436]

After 3 weeks of the video being out, I"be managed to get sick, which was the perfect excuse to watch it finally! It wasn't as emotional as some of the previous ones, but the next one will definitely hit the spot. I still didn't have any time to read SRT chapter one, but I'll get there eventually... Watching your videos, and streams are the only times, when I feel like I didn't just waste an hour scrolling through shorts, so as of today, I'm glad to say (or type) that I have joined the channel! The video is great, but now I'm just pointing out the obvious. The editing is fantastic, and the fact that you voice these long videos is miles above impressive! I'm already looking forward to the next one, and Thank you for the experience! 💙

[@Extermiraptor]

I always loved everyone from Valkyrie, so part 1 of Volume F was such a treat for me. Kanna is one of my favourite characters in the whole game.

[@astraea9630]

Finally, more Lore Archive! Thanks Yumie! Hope you treat yourself to some nendos

Honestly, the amount of effort you put into your contents is just simply amazing.

Anyway, the least I can do to support you is by joining your membership but I can't guarantee to consistently join the membership every month though. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication Yumie, your contents helped me out a lot about understanding the world of blue archive, it really means a lot to me, I am really grateful for having content creator with such dedication and passion as you are Yumie. I hope that you are proud of your contents as much as we are, and just because you are a 'sensei' doesn't mean that you have to imitated the bad habits of it, make sure that you have a great health and a good sleep. I hope that you have an amazing year, i looking forward to see 'reviewing every student in Blue Archive part III' when that video is dropped i will be joining your membership again. Once again thank you for all of your hard work Yumie

Please never worry at all about contributing monetarily, that is so kind of you!!

Volume F is painful Kivotos is likely around 20 Million sq/km. If the place were to be roughly circular, it would have a radius of around 1250 kilometres. [Most depictions of Ark-like constructions in ancient mythology are depicted as a paradise encased in a circular dome. The word kivotos is derived from a greek word which means Ark.]

[@NevrA-bj9nz]

Damn, That big?! For reference, 20m sq/km is roughly as big as Russia and the European Union combined

@@yumietsuchinoko ooohhh I didn’t realize that, awesome!

[@offnet6934]

One nitpick from me. Sensei know Public Safety Bureau prior to this event. All story is happening as is first released, main or side event (in this case Wonderland and Valentine events were before Rabbit main story). Plus one my observation, something is not rigth with time in Kivotos. Students didn't change year or graduate in story even when events indicate that sensei is in Kivotos more than 2y (some events even mention that they happenig in few month apart). And some students like spec os. or Hina mention that they activities span years. (or it is consistent bad EN translation and gacha holiday hickup) Anybody have thoughts on that or other observations ?
