I have another idea if peaches also referenced to Elysia. - In HI3, Elysia is one of the most important figure to Mei besides Kiana. - Elysia Herrscher of Human Ego got a gacha skin named Peachy Spring. - Acheron also said that peaches embody life's delight, but also fragile and short-lived, which summarize overall Elysia's story 😢 - it's pink!
8:39 "...makeup..." In HI3's Elysian Realm. Elysia asks Mei about her eye makeup and she said: that her eyes come like that in her Herrscher form. And in the Manga "AE Invasion". When the Herrscher awakened she used Fu Hua's blood as lip gloss.
adding to this video because i love hi3 mei and her relationship with kiana: - its been years, but herrscher of thunder was also crazy on release. shes sadly been powercrept now but she is still fun in elysian realm - i think acheron’s kit fits herrscher of origin best, especially with her ultimate and her shattering the screen. this was in turn inspired by mgs blade mode and dmc vergil - when playing as kiana in some chapters if the story, she wears mei themed stigmata (hi3’s version of relics that feature images of certain playable characters, npcs based on historical figures or characters important to the story like welt or sirin). im pretty sure theres at least a chapter where mei wears kiana themed stigmata just like acheron wears freebass’ relics but im not sure - as for hi3 kiana and mei, they are canon! for real! hi3 is sadly not allowed to get away with being straightforward about their characters being gay especially now that they’re popular, but they have always been pretty much confirmed. - another interesting thing about acheron - her outfit is obviously reminiscent of mei’s apho design and herrscher of thunder (traditional japanese inspiration, used to have horns, big sword and she wears the same hair accessory as hot) but i see the more bluish purple and her high black boots as a reference to her striker fulminata battlesuit. sf is the outfit she wore when she lost kiana. interestingly, sf was also designed as a foil to kiana’s void drifter outfit, with mei’s white and blue contrasting with kiana’s black and orange. hoyo loves the opposite design trope for their duos and/or couples like dan heng and blade. maybe if freebass is somehow still alive she will keep the opposite trope alive and have her black/orange color scheme
That is most likely actually teyvat. It even gives us a description of Ei's story. But in the story of planar sphere it describes Teyvat as a "perished ancient planet" either meaning Teyvat will be destroyed or was already destroyed in GI. In imaginary tree perished worlds fall into sea of quanta. Meaning Teyvat is actually a bubble world in sea of quanta. Which goes against what we knew about Teyvat (could be a case of retcon to be honest). Question remains what could be the ether anchor for Teyvat if thats the case.
@@fumofumo6704 The Ether Anchor were the Traveller Twins... Trapping them in Teyvat to save it... That's what the Unknown God in the Prologue did... Back when we saw Otto Apocalypse testing out Cosmic Juggernaut and he saw Dvalinn in Teyvat flying around... We aren't certain yet if Teyvat was a Leaf in the Imaginary Tree or a Bubble World in the Sea of Quanta... Cosmic Juggernaut can traverse the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta... Honkai Star Rail seems to have confirmed it now... Now if Vita is a character that appears in Genshin Impact later down the line... That would confirm that Teyvat is Venus and The Sky People who are the Main Antagonists of Honkai Impact's APHO are actually the Ascended People of Teyvat...
Wait, what's about two more HI 3rd's OSTs and catching Trailblazer's hand in the air? I believe the 1st mentioned OST was in name revealing part of flashback about Tiernan. The 2nd OST was in IX space when Acheron asked Trailblazer the RED questions 2nd time
I wish I had her but I missed her banner and Seele too thanks to Eula and neuvilette saving Primogems in genshin then there’s armored core 6 me getting the platinum trophy then there’s the overwatch 2 story missions invasion season and being a mauga main and venture came out the same time as Acheron and Fortnite chapter 5 distracted me from playing honkai star rail for half a year
I think it's pretty obvious that time stopped when she activated her Self Annihilator mode. People in Penacony were hella confused how the screen got slashed in half.
4+ years HI3 theorycrafter here. Never knew about that Mei MMD. I thought "your color" was only a reference to only color that Acheron had left. Also blade runner reference was very unexpected for me. I should add another detail i noticed. In astrophysics objects that orbit a black hole closer will have their light redshifted because of gravitational pull distorting the wavelength of the light. This explains why only color Mei had left is red. Because she is so close to falling into IX but she still holds onto her orbit.
Also, Acheron’s ult is very similar to HoO (Herrscher of Orgin) Mei! Their mechanics are similar too, with both of them involving slashing in an ‘ultimate form’!!
With Aveturine and Acheron HSR hit me so hard! The conversation with Welt were so emotive. Perfect quest! T-T Fun fact about 24 : Acheron share a thing about make-up with Dehya in Genshin Impact : " I looove my make-up box. Sometimes I take it out and re-organize it when I have the time. I keep all my powders and brushes in here - paid top Mora for all of it. Just look at this texture! Isn't it just perfectly smooth? And even if you sweat or get caught in the rain, it doesn't run. Hehehe, you get what you pay for." I find interesting that those two characters who faced the consequences of the destruction of their civilization share that thing and are on the opposite spectrum : despair and nihility for Acheron, hope and positivity for Dehya. They're like light and darkness. Is it a thing in the others games of Mihoyo too? 😄
