One world encircling another reminds me of endosymbiosis (scientifically thought to be one of the first examples of a multi cellular being) billions of years ago the mitochondria became the “powerhouse” of the cell
For joined worlds, there are quite a few and perhaps closer examples (closer than HSR) from hoyoverse in genshins ongoing predecessor Honkai Impact 3 bubble-universe-worlds, but also conjoined ones: the one featured as the primary setting for the interlude between parts 1 and 2: salt snow city; and the primary setting of part 2: oxia/langqui
Does Minsleif play Honkai Impact? There’s MULTIPLE occurrences of worlds glued together there: Salt Snow Holy City in the Sea of Quanta was, basically through wishes, forcefully merged with its Underworld (the name of which I don’t remember, unfortunately), which had been created the same way, which caused quite a lot of chaos. There’s also the part 2 storyline on Mars (at the same time, in the Sea of Quanta? I think? I probably missed something at some point.) with SEVEN NAILS keeping Oxia and the other one (why can’t I remember the names of the second worlds??) in place so that the Shadow monsters don’t escape from world 2 into Oxia. Maybe Teyvat is in the Sea of Quanta, forced in place by an outside or inside force (in the case of these 2, Sa forced Salt Snow’s chaos and nails kept Oxia in check).
I messes up on Kafka's companionship quest. I denied helping her save Blade just to tease her and now she's not a visitor on the Astral Express,. I also didn't get her picture because I didn't act suspicious of her when she contacted us😔
Traveller may be weak and i might be wrong, but hear me out, What if traveller is just confused about the elements and thats why he uses the sword most off the time. I mean think about it, he used only one power for most of his life and now he does not have that power, rather he have some unknown element of some unknown world.( I swear im not glazing the traveller, i feel like no one understands their situation. Dont come after me)
Considering we havent seen thr traveler go all out or full power I think they're close to the power of the top 3 harbingers since we havent seen the traveler use the elemental powers since Childe
12:05 Since its hoyo game. Why did not tried to find a connection with honkai impact, what kind of flood that primordial one tried to escape. i think otto explain something about the never ending battle between the tree and sea. The sea is always tries to drown the tree(?). Idk 😂
The Orphanage was for Drifters first but also changed for the orphans from the Khaenriah too in latter days. And the animated short was not a flashback of Arlecchino for innumerable reasons, it was just an introduction to Arlecchinos past by Hoyo to the community (a third person view). So Scaras appearance there is pretty normal.
