The Lore of【BLUE ARCHIVE】: Where All Memories Begin

[@octopusoup]

Gematria really said, "No girls allowed. Boy's club only now."

[@yumietsuchinoko]

You know, I hadn't thought about it like that, but man, they really do gotta fill her shoes with another woman, or else it'll just be a boys club all over again. Here's hoping that Gematria finds someone who doesn't try to end the world this time!!

[@syaondri]

Watch the president return to her corporeal form and then joined them XDDD

[@yumietsuchinoko]

@@syaondri The ultimate plot twist; The GSC president was the secret member of Gematria the entire time

[@shubaltz980]

Rio and Aris's moment was a high point in this volume for me, it hit so incredibly hard when Rio's guilt finally caught up to the point where she broke down. Thanks for your continued dedication to Blue Archive, I probably wouldn't be playing if not for stumbling on your vids by chance.

[@yumietsuchinoko]

Oh my word... That is such an enormously kind compliment... I am so glad that you found these videos!! Aris truly is such a thoughtful, accepting person; the kindness that she extends to Rio in this volume speaks so highly of her empathy, and Rio's breakdown is a great culmination of all her decisions up to this point. I'm so grateful that I was able to put this video together and share it with you all after so many months of work!!

[@Rose00781]

You must've worked really hard for this, surely it's not easy to make and edit a 5hr video, as a fellow Blue Archive obsessed enjoyer, thank you so much! Gonna clear my schedule.

[@yumietsuchinoko]

Oh my word, I appreciate that so much!!! It was... definitely exhausting putting this all together, but man if I'm not happy with how it turned out. I hope that you all enjoy watching along (and I'm sorry for all the tears that will be shed along the way!!)

[@Rose00781]

Just finished the video, I can't even count how many times I teared up by every little thing, even just by the students meeting each other, and Terror Shiroko's past still broke me, thank you again for making this video @@yumietsuchinoko ! It's so much better than just replaying the story on my own.

[@xonwamalilla]

The intro is just perfect You can never go wrong with theme 59, is so epic and melancolic

[@yumietsuchinoko]

I'm SO glad to hear that!!! I adore the entire Blue Archive OST, but Re:Aoharu is just spectacular for this part of the story, and I wanted to accompany it with all the images of the stories up to this point!

[@tophrii]

that intro made me tear up

[@yumietsuchinoko]

I watched and rewatched that intro so many times while editing, and it still makes me tear up every time

[@Raiceuu]

Omg The Blue Archive Movie featuring Yumie?? W video as always

[@JediBusouSonic]

Volume F was so good. Your telling of it was equally good. You manage to get everything down perfect in just the right time frames, order etc.

[@VodkaVodoka]

It's MY house, and I get to pick the movie.

[@syaondri]

How did your family responded? XD

[@No-cc1fq]

W dad

[@DeputyDirectorOfVeritas.]

(Chapter 16: Countdown) when i heard Toki accepted her demise, it breaks my heart so much, she's so underrated in this volume and i feel like people forget her existence with so many things happening in the volume

[@DeputyDirectorOfVeritas.]

And amazing video btw, i can finally experience the story without going through vol 3 ch 3 ep 24 (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)

[@yumietsuchinoko]

AGREED! It hurts so much to know that she was ready to lay down her life... I'm so glad that she finally had a chance to shine here, and it makes her appearance in the Alabaster Calling Card event story even better because of that (which btw, if you haven't seen that yet, I'd highly recommend that stream, it's really cathartic for Toki and Aris after this story!)

[@liamnoone2487]

I made the mistake of skipping the story... never again after watching your lore vids. Legit made me misty eyed at times. Peak story telling that I won't dream of skipping again.

[@Jade-tr4ee]

wake up, peak just dropped

[@ramaockys638]

yumie are too good at this, i did the story before but got chill by this story telling.

[@yumietsuchinoko]

That is SO nice of you to say!!! Good god, that is such a kind compliment, I try really hard to give this story the justice it deserves, so knowing that I've accomplished that in any way is so spectacular to hear!!

[@Kez_DXX]

Oh Boy! I just finished Volume F last night, cried, and now I can finally watch this and cry some more. 1:05:44 "If not recruitable ally, why recruitable ally-shaped?" -Aris probably

[@XenoKensei]

MY LORD I HAVEN'T CRIED SO MUCH... THAT ARIS AND KEI MOMENT MADE ME CRY SO MUCH 😢 I LOVE HER CHARACTER SO MUCH

[@yumietsuchinoko]

IT IS SO HEARTWRENCHING!! I so desperately hope that we reunite with Kei again in the future... she deserves to be her own person and to make the friends she so desperately needs!!

[@HoyoNesia]

3:18:00 Francis: "You can't just shoot a hole into the surface of the Chroma's Arc." Aris: "HIKARIYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

[@grasstouchersensei]

Holy wow, a 5 hour lore video?? This must've taken absolute ages to edit, i applaud your dedication to both the video and the game itself, probably gonna be buying a membership after this watch ❤

[@yumietsuchinoko]

Oh my word!! That is so kind of you to say, thank you!! It absolutely did take a LONG time to put together, but I think it was worth the effort to share this incredible story with you folks! I've got a whole member's stream talking about the production process for these videos, so I'd absolutely recommend giving that a watch if you're interested!!

[@Regolant1]

Congratulations yumie. You did god's work.

[@yumietsuchinoko]

Thank you!! I am so happy that this is finally ready for you folks, this has been such a pleasure to put together!!

[@chaschas]

THANK YOU for making this because i'm having to play catch up and i like listening to you tell the story so i don't have to feel bad about skipping 🙇

[@yumietsuchinoko]

No thank YOU for being so excited to watch this!!! I know how hard it can be to read through everything, and having the chance to share this story with you all is such an absolute treat!!

[@KellinKingdom]

This is absolutely fantastic, thank you! You pointed out so many details that I missed or didn't understand when I played through this, and it made me love this story even more. I'm deeply thankful for all of your hard work making Lore Archive, and I hope that you continue in the future. 😇

[@notacceptedpotato5602]

Thx yumie for the lore dumps, perfect thing to listen to on a long day of work

[@yumietsuchinoko]

That's so fantastic to hear!! I am always so glad to give you folks something nice to listen to during the work day, I hope you enjoy listening through!!

[@Bagz_McGee]

Absolutely love these Lore Archives you do such an amazing job!!! Also OST 152 is top tier along with the PV… just the best!!!! Anyways thank you for this and the hard work you do with these Lore Archives you do!!!

[@rogerfood1015]

Great series of videos binged,these over the course of a week. Can’t wait for more

[@ichik4]

I just watched all the videos and I confess that I was moved by this ending. Your work was incredible, I hope you continue to bring more about the game. I love Blue Archive ❤❤

[@lunaticzukhruf923]

ANOTHER PEAK ARCHIVE LORE STORY JUST DROPPED!!! LET'S GOOOOO!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@isaacsheehy]

Congratulations on completing this gargantuan project Yumie! It was nice to experience Volume F again. I'm such a big fan of the scene between Himari, Rio and Hanako. You're voice acting really lent life to the characters. Particularly your Aris, Rio and Koharu (from the trinity summer event). I feel like you would be a shoe in to voice any one of these girls if the opportunity for an English voice cast ever arose. Thank you for all the blood, sweat and tears you've put into this Lore Archive series! I hope you thoroughly enjoy your well deserved break.

[@SirBufon]

A bit late, but thanks so much for the awesome video!!!! I cried soooo hard the first time I played the story (specially when sensei has those cool moments here and there) but definitely the highlights for me were the Perorozilla V. Kaiten fight and the moment we learn about the things Terror Shiroko had to endure on her world. Reading and now hearing how Ayane had to be disconnected from life support and how Hoshino had her halo broken hurt me so much it made me cry. Thanks again for all your amazing work!

[@yumietsuchinoko]

I'M SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT! It is never too late to watch through these videos, especially with how long they are! It really is so heartwrenching to realize how hard Terror Shiroko's life was... I really hope that she'll have a better future now that she's in this world, since she deserves a second chance at happiness!!

[@lucazaroli6761]

I just finished playing through volume F👍 It’s definitely my favorite volume so far, there were so many moments that made me almost tear up. It was amazing. There’s now like 29 hours worth of blue archive videos you’ve made that I wanna watch, I’m gonna get through them all but it’s gonna take awhile 😅

[@G973_]

I was having a bad day, then i saw this drop and had my first smile for the day

[@yumietsuchinoko]

Oh!! I am so glad to hear that this helped to brighten your day!! I hope that you're having a better week, and that this helps in whatever way it can!!

[@ogreninja6607]

Maybe I interpreted the story differently, but I read it as Anubis being unable to kill Sensei and Sensei's sense of responsibility was so strong it shifted the chroma's interest in Anubis to sensei. This then allowed sensei to bear Anubis's "responsibility" as the "The Guide of Chroma". This allowed his to hold back the chromas efforts to destroy the next world so the the next Sensei (us) could defeat him. The chroma lacks its own will, so the nameless priests thought they could continue to destroy the forgotten gods in every universe by simply chucking Phrenapates to the next world before it could kill them too .

[@sponge563]

One of the best stories, across all media. So many tears were shed. How are they knocking it out the park like this? It’s incredible. And your work making the story more consumable (I listen while I drive) is so greatly appreciated. You should be on Nexon’s payroll.

[@alexsanderivan6511]

Hey there ! I don't play Blue Archive (had my fair share of gachas already lol) but I do enjoy great stories, so I watched the entirety of Lore Archive. Let me just say, I love passion projects, and the ammount of passion in these videos is insane. Your storytelling, your voice acting, your writing, and the ammount of emotion in it, makes these 4 hour-long videos go by much faster than I'd expect (and so easy to follow !) 😅. Plus your videos just have this cozy relaxing feel to them. Thanks for this. Blue Archive rlly surprised me with how good the story is, and how well it manages to work comedy and more serious and dark plotlines together. I'll definitely be jumping in aboard for the next chapters, and I hope your channel's success keeps growing ! TL;DR Hina best girl

[@kr34l96]

Yumie I appreciate the oodles of effort you put into this lore videos. The care you take retelling these stories is so appreciated. Your voice is wonderful. Thank you!

[@yumietsuchinoko]

Oh my god... that's such a nice thing for you to say, thank you!! I try to capture the magic of the game as best as I can in these videos, so hearing that I've managed to do that in any small amount is so fantastic to hear!!

[@theopollind8024]

Order in the faculty fellow senseis, head teacher Yumi just dropped our new syllabus this semesterrrrr

[@u.9607]

oh my god, thank you so much!! finally after 5 great hours i learned how this wonderful story has ended. this is truly a miracle, i was so nervous till the very end, but it all turned out well. i heard that the next chapters are too quite good and hope we will see it as well eventually! still so many questions about Arona, multiuniverse and the future tho... yeah i really love this game, thank you so very much, you have worked so hard for this

[@yumietsuchinoko]

That is SO kind of you to say, thank you for taking the time to leave this comment!! I am so beyond impressed with the writing in this game, especially with how many characters were involved in this enormous finale! The upcoming chapters beyond this one are also spectacular, and I can't wait for when I'll be able to adapt more of them; it has been such a pleasure putting all these videos together to share with you all!!

[@nighttimelime5444]

This came out only a few days after I finished the previous video. Good timing.

[@jacob1813]

What an absolute treat! I'm going to be listening to this on my drive to and from work next week

[@yumietsuchinoko]

That is the way, I know so many folks will be listening to this on their commute this week, which is spectacular!!

[@feyrod7209]

What an interesting time for this to upload. I've decided to take a break from Blue Archive to make room for other gacha games. This video is an excellent trip down memory lane. So many memories from this game. I'm happy to go through it again. Thank you for the video, Yumie.

[@yumietsuchinoko]

It's my absolute pleasure!! It can be so hard to keep up with all the games currently out, so I'm glad that this was such a nice trip down memory lane, especially with how impactful this part of the story is!

[@MHChang2014]

What a great video to come back home to after my workout!

[@theannoyedlink5153]

Letsgoooooooooo!!!!! After watching and rewatching the streams, It's amazing to finally see lore archive, thank you so much for your effort Yumie!!

[@yumietsuchinoko]

Thank YOU so much for being so excited for it!! There is something so rewarding about creating something like this and knowing that you folks are just as excited for it, I can't thank you enough for that!!

[@Deku_231]

Thank you so much for putting together this amazing video Yumie! I was truly -biting at the chai- erm... looking forward to watching it I just finished the first hour and it is already evident how much work you put into editing, script writing, music choice and the presentation. Your lore videos truly are the best! This will give me something to watch while making food, doing the dishes and just to relax for the next week(s) I love that you especially point out the Peroro on the board at 31:00, very important! 45:14 Kayoko praise Bookmark for myself: Chapter 17

[@yumietsuchinoko]

(Damn, I knew telling you all that anecdote would be too devastating, you all know my terrible idioms now... ) AHEM well, before I distract myself too much, I am SO glad that you've enjoyed it so far!! (And I knew you'd love the Kayoko shoutout, she really deserves all the praise in the world!!) It means so much to know that my hard work on these videos is so evident to you all, it's really rewarding to see you get so excited at small details and to look forward to watching more!!

[@sevens07]

i got summer courses that started just as this dropped, I really wanna binge it but I think I'll have to watch it part by part, thank you for the gargantuan upload tho!

[@yumietsuchinoko]

No worries at all!! I've got it broken up into chapters and acts as well, so don't feel any pressure to binge it in one go!!

[@juni_junjun]

I didint even know this came oıt but WOW five hours????? U mustve put so much time into this, thank you for spending so much effort for the BA community!

[@melowmelow99]

It feels special to be back and relive those moments, thank you for this

[@darkrevolution4219]

Final Volume is just...so peak. Great video as always

[@dayyo1633]

Thank you for your hard work on this series Yumie!

[@yumietsuchinoko]

DAYYO oh my god, of course, it's my pleasure!! It's been such a long time coming, but I'm so glad that I was finally able to adapt this part of the story, since it is such a satisfying conclusion to everything they've been building up to this point!

[@dlarenceparks2211]

Thanks again for the lore vids they make my work days fly by

[@theSato]

Holy MOLY you have outdone yourself! When I catch up on story this will be a comfy 5 hours of background audio for me to do chores and work to!! Congrats on getting it out, I bet this will do numbers!!

[@edgarnathanaeltherry9645]

guys, in this video, it was said that the terror side of a student's halo is far stronger than their mystic side, that's why kuroko is so much stronger than shiroko right? what would happen if mika, the strongest student that has a mystic halo IMO got corrupted by the chroma? wouldn't that produce the strongest creature in all of kivotos?

[@MondayIdeho]

Honestly, I think Kivotos would be doomed

[@nonamewouldfitme3017]

Only now have i been actually catching up on these videos, and god this one was beautiful. Thanks so much, Yumie. Totally worth the hours spent up throughout the night getting immersed and nearly crying at multiple segments.

[@KuroiPK]

This video will be quite enjoyable over the next couple of days!

Holy 5 hours?! Please get some rest afterwards cause you absolutely deserve it after working on this for so long and THANK YOU!!!!

[@yumietsuchinoko]

THANK YOU!!! Oh man, I appreciate that SO much!! It definitely was a huge endeavor to put this together, but I will be getting some much needed rest now that this is finally ready to share with you all!!!

[@someguy9546]

holy 5 hours thats insane. i cant imagine how much work this took. I cant wait to watch it all

[@CruiserToneFan]

Honestly, I wish we got a full-on cinematic of Toki planting herself and her battlesuit between the oncoming enemies, and the rest of Kivitos. I imagine that it would be quite badass to see. Also, coming across a horde of incoming enemies, whilst you are in a mech-battlesuit-exosuit thing that's armed to the teeth, just sounds like a lot of fun.

[@pandax5359]

Uwaa time to binge. Just found this channel. Honestly I skip the majority of story content but I always curious about it.

[@sprinpe3]

5 hour !? my god thank you for hard work

If six out of five ratings was possible, I'd rate this a seven! ⭐️✨️✨️

That was so peak story~! totally absolute cinema!

[@swimminginbeyblades]

Thank you so much for making these videos! It's so nice seeing Blue Archive getting this kind of love. On a separate note(just asking for kicks), as you yourself have a halo, how do you enjoy the extreme damage mitigating qualities that have been gifted to you?

[@breitve]

thank you for your hard work

[@sionteemo9697]

Damn O.O . 5 hours huh.. Guess i'll be slowly watching this in small bits XD . Thanks for the vid and good work

[@DaBroSquad]

Aint no way a bit about robbing banks made me bawl

[@conwaysquest6961]

This is great and all, but The nameless priests are still out there. Chroma is still out there. Hina still hasn't been allowed to retire. Aru still hasn't gotten paid. Francis and Maestro are still unaccounted for. I cannot wait to see where things go from here.

[@VodkaVodoka]

"Sensei had called in a favor to Red Winter Academy." Cherino propaganda! I'm pretty sure that Cherino ditched Red Winter when Chroma attacked, leaving Tomoe and Marina defend the area together. She just stumbled on Chesed by chance!

[@floofy1]

very big thank you for your efforts in this!!
