Acheron Helps Sam (Cutscene) | Honkai Star Rail 2.1 

Now the question is... why did she even act SO aggressively?

@@rezzzonans4694 She probably didn't realize who Sam was until later into their fight. And Sam just wanted grab the Trailblazer and dip to explain shit.

@@Yorkington Sam could have calmly asked Acheron and Black Swan to leave. And there was a high chance they could agree.

​@@rezzzonans4694 Black Swan wouldn't.

@@smart-ass8518 Probably, but this still had chance of success. And if it had failed, then could have been used force.

I have no enemies😊 vs I have no enemies.... ☠

@@noobartist6009*lives to tell the tale

Ironic seeing she had Opps looking for her on every corner 😂😂

"No compassion for the enemy, for that is cruelty upon yourself"

Mayhaps not knowing the season nor what is the reason but staying there holding her blade is yet another trait

Aswell as they are in a desolate place, without any trace of life, with the cold wind being the only thing Sam could feel through the cold armour.

The only thing that she knows for real, is that there will be bloodshed and the man in the mirror will nod his head

It's also the case that the only one left will ride upon the dragons back

And that is because the mountains do not give back whatever they take.

sigh... leaks ruin everything,,,

you dont even need to know the leak, a little bit of common sense and puzzle connecting is enough to realize that sam is firefly when you play the 2.0 quest.

i didn't even know it was a leak, i thought everyone was coping.

What sucks is the interweaving of a very solid theory with "oh I saw it in a dream... oh who knows what future latches will reveal." Etc. Ruins all of the fun. It was heavily implied that Sam was Firefly. The evidence was insurmountable, and youd have to simply brush off the deliberate ambiguitiy with Sam's gender (LC desc) and overwhelming similarity in color pallette, overlap in current evidence (Glamoth soldiers story and firefly story heavily overlap and the connection simply had to be made by the viewer) or not consider it. Which is totally fine. Most of us play these games to escape. Story was so good, people were so excited to get evryone on the sam page.... hyv comments will have people feelong shame and restraint hopefully.

The White Night trailer for Penacony literally shows Sam with wings and sparkles that are the same colour as Firefly's highlights. Also, their colour schemes are overall extremely similar and Sam literally uses fire to attack, whilst Firefly is quite literally called Firefly, amongst other things such as Firefly's dialogue on the rooftop and the fact that Sam didn't target us in that one cutscene in 2.0, and only targeted Black Swan and Acheron. The answer has been there all along to anyone who actually paid attention / thought for a second. I dont think leaks have anything to do with it.

She didn't seem to scare sam. More like she was reasonable enough for sam to listen to her

Scare? Nah

Acheron is the kind of person who looks intimidating because of her skills (and rightfully so), but deep down, she's just a sad tragic softie who longs to be understood by others. Perhaps, she sensed the same kind of kinship she sees herself in, "Sam". Two notorious wanted criminals throughout the galaxy. "Sam" tried acting all menacingly in front of Acheron, but the facade fell through the moment he said he would kill "everyone", everyone except mentioning the Nameless Trailblazer. Hinting that, the person behind, "Sam", knows 'em, and wishes no harm to him/her.

Scare him? Bro wanted all the smoke, he did not care if he was gonna die

lol scare for what

My question is Who's the Firefly that got stabbed???

​@@darrentalvinnoli8133 clone maybe?

It's not even subtle at this point 💀💀💀

​@@roblesrogen4872Probably the real firefly

@@darrentalvinnoli8133 its firely. aventurin establish that you cannot die in penacony. and the one who is died go the the real land of exile instead. firefly comeback from there, I guess it is related on how she cannot dream.

she is an emanator of nihility so fate and future reading probably doesn’t include her because its all meaningless

Or she was not planned to have a big part in the scheme Elio has, either because it doesn't contemplate her presence to fulfill it or because she will not get to live by that point, as self annihilators are destined to fade. Let's hope it doesn't get as grim.

@@necasa4919 the latter seems unlogical as Sam has an ever shorter expected lifespan than Acheron

sam said elio alway give sam brief script there was just one sentence he didnt even tell anything or what to happen like other stellaron hunter

@@peak1824 sam is firefly and her lifespan is abnormally short, that is the reason behind her script

🗣️🔥🔥🔥

✍️✍️✍️✍️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Not really edge when is literally burning away in that armor and probably has a condition that doesn't let her dream in the literal way

She was quite literally born to war and following the purpose of her existence slowly kills her

She's an anime girl trapped in an Armored Core protagonist's body

Youre definitely gonna find out in this patch

One is gotta be literally living in a cave with no internet (and dumb to some extent) to NOT know who Sam really is.

@@kazuhasdedfriend6548is it firefly

Lemme spell it to you: Sam is F**e**y all along.

Im 100% Calling it now that its firefly

that sounds like a reward not a punishment

Sam was also good friends with TB before memory wipe.

But "watashi" is generic, if Sam went saying the feminine form "atashi" and firefly too then it would have been a dead giveaway

@@RayRMT the giveaway is that Sam's gender is ambiguous, placed in the context of every other parallel which could be drawn between Sam and FF at the time. Watashi is not literally gendered, ie denotation, but its wrong to say it doesnt have a sort of a feminine connotation or that its feminine sounding. My source is japanese youtubers speaking about how japanese pronouns are used in the everyday life of japanese people, altough i cant recall the specific youtuber, you can probably find them. Simply Sam using Watashi is not enough to do anything other than to make the suspicious (cause of all the other evidence) more suspicious. Regardless this ultimate ruthless hunter weve heard about (Bam bam bam and then they are dead) speaking politely and respectfully is like, huh? Same whiplash as Sam sending us cute emotes. And place that one fact "watashi"in context and it all points to one thing. For instance, the light cone featuring Sam refers to Sam using "them." Also iirc Sam has been referred to as a humanoid mecha rather than a man at least once, iirc by blade but grain of salt. Regardless, variation in pronouns for this ultimate hunter gives pause.

​@@philipdamian7346 Sorry, where was it mentioned that SAM knew the trailblazer beforehand? I may have forgotten.

if you switch to JP you can see Sam's way of talking like "watashi" which is commonly used by girl

@@jerryjayyana4190 But doesn't she switch to ''atashi'' when speaking as Firefly?

JP Sam is polite, gentlemanly, and somehow feminine, though. So I immediately knew that Sam is Firefly when he first spoke to Acheron. They basically have the same manner of speaking and intonation. And I also recall people saying the same for CN and KR. EN on other hand makes Sam and Firefly sound like two different entities altogether. One is cold-blooded murderer, and the other is a sweet girl.

​@@jerryjayyana4190watashi is gender neutral, everyone can use it Atashi is feminine, used mostly by girls, not even older women

​@@YosepRA I prefer that more to be honest it makes me think of Acheron when she unsheathes her sword she remembers everything then maybe Firefly also remembers the true nature of her existence when she activates SAM, and her mien follows and she tries to forget, when she's back to her human form

Tb: EHE DE NANDAYO!?

Exactly 🤣💯

Every trailblazer sad for 1 whole version

😭😭

Firefly?

@@Shiroya_Rumika Nah, a double telepath war elephant (yes)

@@VergilDebates Well, given the fact that, "Sam", didn't target the Nameless Trailblazer in their lil bout, and the other fact that Acheron KNOW who is underneath the armor, and also the fact that Firefly doesn't have much implied time to live, which is also heavily implied here between Acheron and "Sam". I guess it wouldn't be TOO crazy to think that Firefly is "Sam". BUT, the main question to consider here if that theory holds true however, is HOW? We ALL witnessed Firefly got killed off. So who the heck is underneath the mecha? Or rather, controlling it? 😵‍💫

​@@Evil_Beauty well now that we know that sam is firefly, that question is still bugging me a lot how the hell is firefly is still alive and comeback fast enough to be sam again. The only answer I can think of is maybe sparkle is involved maybe the firefly that we saw that got killed is sparkle's clone all along and somehow in cahoots with the stellaron hunters just for fun. I really don't know, god I really can't wait for 2.2 story quest.

@@xtiyan2250 Hmmm, I'm not so sure that it was Hanabi's clone (didn't know she could create clones of other people?). Because if we consider that possibility, then it would contradict what she said to Fruiterine regarding the, "mute", that knows the truth but was unable to speak it. She could be referring to either Robin, or in this case, FIREFLY. The two victims of the meme monster. I'm hoping Hanabi was referring to Robin, and not Firefly. Not to mention, didn't Firefly said she was born into the world without the ability to, "dream"? So it makes me question how the frick was she able to enter the Dreamscape to begin with? Even the Astral Express crew couldn't find any records of her being in Penacony at the registration counter. And as a stowaway, how did she get passed The Family's tight security? AGH! So many unanswered questions. It feels like the more we dive deeper into the main story, the more questions we have than answers. 😵‍💫 P.S. Also, Gallagher was responsible for Firefly's, "death". But how could she still be in the Dreamscape when we know any, "death", caused in the Dreamscape would wake the person in reality up?

Yep

Like Kiana did and now she fine. Hoyo will think something up ...this is what make her interesting .

I died of stroke.

@@smart-ass8518 are you done.

Seriously what are you saying? 😂

Are you done with you're joke also trap in realm of dreams in real life.

??????

ikr..I lost the whoaaaa surprise impact about this "thanks" to them....

Actually it's Firefly It's already been confirmed and there's a cutscene

Oh what sam taking the armour off? And it being firefly

​@@noice9193 keep going youll find out at the end of 2,1

Fellas Sam is the suit and an AI. Its just Iron Man all over again

Sam being Ifrit makes no sense

The patch is live in Asian servers.

Silverwolf was with her in Penacony, so perhaps it was a bit of her doing with her teleporrs and holograms or something that is enough to fool Acheron and Black Swan for that moment.

Maybe she is the bird that was seen in some cutscene in the story

People who were killed by Death appeared in Land of Exile, they must find a way back like Firefly or they probably remained in coma.

Sounds good what you mean

@@Mrwaffle7843 In other languages his voice is calm, sad, and intelligent. It's as if Firefly is speaking, only with a different timbre. But in English he wheezes and drawls out his words like some kind of clichéd villain. This is not the first time I have noticed that Hoyovers does not prepare English voice actors well and does not try to bring different localizations to a single sound.

I agree, literally shocked hearing Sam's EN Voice. Though I like his voice and the intonations he made, his character comes off so different with say JP Voice. In JP he talks so calmly and in a very respectful manner even with his enemies, yet in EN I just hear typical robot alien villain ready to destroy shits

Meh. To me, he’s good. The mechanical tone of the voice is pretty much generic to other languages. I mean come on. If you’d meet an English-speaking person in a mech suit with a mechanical voice tone, you’d expect him to speak Asian for you?
