I watch Honkai Star rail live 2.0 After finishing 2.2 Story Quest 

Shaoji is the personification of trust me bro

I await to see what comes of the gathering of the Galaxy Rangers, the IPC's "harvesting", and Sparkle's many buttons.

"Heartwarming" he says. "Wholesome" he says. All im seeing is cap 🧢

Maybe Shaoji is actually telling the truth. Maybe it truly is heartwarming and wholesome... for the epilogue of the whole Penacony arc.

Wholesome he says Gallagher & Mikhail are dead. Who in 1 version only is already embedded in our hearts and minds..

He didn't lie when he said it's "Heartwarming" and "Uplifting" Story. I actually having fun clearing Penacony story.

shaoji likes sunday ???? is that why he cooked so hard when writing him 🔥🔥🔥

“Heartwarming” and “Uplifting” story, yeah you said the same “Positive” and “Wholesome” story for HI3 as well. YOU AREN’T FOOLING ANYONE SHAOJI! Tears I have shed from being a captain and then to the trailblazer. (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

I had the screenshot of that sun line from the stream, saved on my phone ever since. When the Penacony story started, I felt like Sunday was the most likely candidate to say it. So soon as Sunday started talking about the sun with the dreammaster and right before the boss fight, I knew it was coming. It was nice to finally know what this was in reference to.

wait for Sparkle plan and Firefly lore in 2.3

HE LOVES SUNDAY AAAAAAH MAN HAS TASTE

1:02 "We will bring you joy" He once said…… And we are the joy that is brought to the aeon of Elation, ahahahahaha!

“Trailblazers…I do not lie…” Shaoji, probably.

I still remember the part where they said that we would have beautiful memories with Sam.

HSR be teaching me philosophy more than any textbook with this patch fr...

Heartwarming, uplifting meanwhile in game *"WHY DOES LIFE SLUMBERS? "*

Shaoji is Elio confirmed

IPC had a change of heart and will help rebuild Penacony, im ok with. Sparkle become normal, oh shoot are we still in a dream

now let's release Sunday outta basement Shaoji~

for you new players, heart-wrenching tragedy is Shaoji's definition of wholesome and heartwarming

I legit became the Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme when that “I now permit you to gaze into the sun” line got said in the cutscene. I knew when he said it in the livestream it would be anything but a heartwarming, uplifting moment in the actual story, so I had been on the lookout for it ever since.

Firefly hasn’t experienced her third “death” yet. Who know what will happened to her. (I guess Shaoji knows lmao)

I absolutely love Peaknacony! 😄

Shaoji is literally THE storyteller. Bro sneakily put these easter eggs so we will go back and be like ohhhhhhh damn

When I look back on the 2.0 livestream, I think what Shaoji really meant was that the message penacony gave was wholesome, because the actual quest is like actual ptsd fuel. (like Himeko’s death from HI3) “Keep moving forward, carry the legacy of the people who have gone before you.” “Blaze your own trail.” That’s what I think he meant, but it’s funny how many people took his words literally XD.

when Shaoji said "Wholesome" and "Heartwarming" is when Chevy sings "HEADS UP! THE WHEELS ARE SPINNING" while you do a JoJo dance and pose with clockwork Mickey Mouse as you star rail (literally) a chicken wing God. sadly we got the part where Chevy hums If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking first

wow he really said epilogue in 2.3 thats nice to hear bcs we still have some cliffhanger left

an ounce of joy is an understartement, we got a whole rollercoaster with these storylines

PEAK story is when every "Actor" Plays their roles equally, PEAKNACONY

Shaoji probably will choose being a Mourning Actor if he going to HSR, having Elation power to make people sad

Dominicusiuuuuuu

As a hi3 and hsr captain/trailblazer whenever i see that wholesome and uplifting i know someone gonna die for sure, shoaji i need more pls

Ohhhh Shaoji is the reason why Sunday isn't playable yet, he's a favourite so he's still trapped in Shaoji's basement. Let him out, Shaoji. You cannot keep him all to yourself.

“an ounce of joy” he says. Yea I sure did smile seeing the true story of Penacony and seeing Mikhail hold on to one day see the express again. Lots of joy there *crying*.

He's not right and not wrong about heartwarming at the same time, and we got 2.1 Genshin slander scene, Macross and Galaxy Express 999 vibe in these stories lol

shaoji brought the honkai in honkai star rail

Bro is the definition of "Let him cook" and he did it with 5* quality

"แล้วเราจะตื่นขึ้น​ ประหนึ่ง​ว่า​ฝันไป" -​ โดราเอมอน : สามอัศวิน​ในจินตนาการ​

The best part is. The "wholesome & heartwarming" part has yet to come.

Trailblazer after Penacony arc. "Here we go to IPC domain just because Boothill had disputes with someone in IPC team and decided to hijack astral express just like before after Belobog arc." Astral express hijacked by Kafka and shifted to The Xianzhou Luofu. Later Astral Express hijacked again by some invitation letters from past nameless members to Penacony.

2.0 and 2.1 we were all just screaming at the guy "HOW IS THIS HEARTWARMING?!?!!?!?!?" Now... Well I can see why he said that. Aventurine's story made me cry I love him so much, Acheron turned out to be a pretty great character, Black Swan never actually betrayed us and always had our backs, the Meme just turned out to be a fucking taxi between dream worlds named Sleepie, Gallagher was never actually a killer or a bad guy, Misha finally got his closure, Robin and Sunday got closer to eachother, Firefly has gotten closer to what she was promised in the script. She also made important friends the astral express, (Mostly just us but at least if we trust her the rest will too), I dont know what sparkle was after so I wont speak for what she got but at least she helped Aventurine.

Imagine if Shaoji and *Urobuchi* did a story collab....

Im ready to tank all the emotions as long as the Astral Express crew dip out Penacony in one piece.

Uh...he's right, though. Kind of. Penacony's story is painful, but in the words of Acheron before the true boss battle: "It's not about convincing people to choose the right path. It's about inspiring people to save themselves." As someone who suffers from clinical depression for 21 years, that hits close to home. The entire thing about 'waking up' and 'dreams were supposed to make you stronger when you wake up and inspire you to go on with your life' really resonates with me, too, because I have a tendency for escapism - since I was a child, I keep wishing to have been born in a different world, probably due to things sucking hard and my depression. But now that I have an amazing partner and people who love, support and inspire me at every step of the way, I wanted to wake up. I think Penacony's story was really about that at the heart of it. So, basically, Shaoji was right. I owe him my life. Penacony is a wonderful yet painful story about acceptance, grief, and moving on, and that's how it should be.

I am happy as a captain that more people experience the Honkai Shaoji experience. Most captains have ptsd when he is left in the kitchen because he cooks perfectly making you care for fictional characters ironically that was Gallagher.

thank you for sunday!!! ❤❤ shao ji loves sunday 🥰

stand proud shaoji you can cook

It was actually Peakacony not Penacony, that's the one mistake Shaoji said

"Joy" he says the quest itself is more than that however we all know the the penacony arc will end sooner or later looking forward to more trailblazing

they really raised the bar with penacony. how on earth are they gonna top the penacony trailblaze story in 2.4+

We let him cook and he burned the kitchen I dont mean it in a bad way

Heartwarming, uplifting yeah yeah. Can we talk about how dark is penacony’s side stories ? 💀

SO Shaoji is throwing all Trailblazers into the Hellscape that HI3 Captains knew as the Theater of Domination. Meaning Penacony story isn't even done yet. Great...and it's probably to become a roller coaster ride with if Shaoji is handling all upcoming patches of HSR after Penacony.

We are still in a dream within a dream

heartwarming & wholesome not the words I'll ever believe from the guy who madde chapter9

Ahh so he's an Emanator of Order

The "vacation" is probably under the sauce

Well, that story is not over We got the epilogue from the next version from Penacony arc

THERES AN EPILOGUE???? please please please hyv i beg of you bring gallagher back i would do anything please

That is just the beginning. Shaoji will lie again in 3.0

God damn, seeing that scene in Chinese as opposed to English, the difference is staggering. The VA for Sunday absolutely went off in the English dub. The Chinese practically falls flat in comparison

I still wondering WHERE IS SUNDAY AFTER 2.2 😭

Certainly was "Heartwarming", not sure about the wholesome part though.

Mecha is sentient, still haven't figure out why. Acheron hinting "it's not your time YET". Although i am hyped that seikaku hunters and masterstroke might possibly be more than cameo and dialogues. IPC would try to capture all of them no? P47 might actually be kidnapped according to the script. Stellaron Wars incoming

Some Quest was so dead men like the Artist who past away and Genius society member who been occupied in Penacony by Ipc for sooo long becouse they want his knowledge..

"I hope they get an ounce of joy' this mf new this guy new we were gonna be more depressed and yet if he was wrong we could be angry but no i cant say i didn't enjoy myself the amount of respect for the story i have on this man

When you have trust issues with Shinji... He easily got away spoiling everything

It would be funny if Shaoji ends up being the one who voices Elio himself lmao

It was a emotional rollercoaster 😢

I like what we have rn, lets hope they dont make it unwholesome in 2.3.

One important thing from this presentation i forgot until watching this... Penacony story last till 2.3😂 It's not done yet my dudes😂😂😂

THE SHAOJI SPECIAL STRIKES AGAIN

Heartwarming they say, wholesome they say, BULLSHIT

I want to see the EVERFLAME gang go on a rampage cause their boss is gone.

I won't let him kill other characters in genshin

Can't wait for the heartwarming epilogue

"Heartwarming story" Introduce Firefly, kill firefly, she isn't dead in fact, but she's a cancer kids, but with a badass healing unit under the form of a mecha, but in fact she died (Of screen) to permit us to wake up from Sunday's inception forced sleep. I'm in pieces !

That's what gaming's all about!

I love him

I was very "satisfied" with the ending

Well this time he actually told the truth.

Remember when they called this game a "space comedy"?

Any hi3rd players already know dawei and his gigs we were ready for the worst but it actually didn't go all the way like Hi3rd😢

Are we playing same game? It really is wholesome and heartwarming. Not sure what's with the negative comments

arent you all tired of calling him out, is been months , stop with the ""Heartwarming" he says "Wholesome he says" thats not the point. i though yall gonna focus on they spoiled this oh they spoiled that bc not only in the 1st and 2nd program but in the white night mv almost everything was hinted, anyone smart would notice it if not then you catched the bait :d i find it pretty funny, but im tired of yall going for the ""Heartwariming" he says "Wholesome he says" every single time

I will never believe that guy... But one thing is certain... When bro shaoji start lying... Hoyoverse finished cooking.... And the story will peaking... So... thank you Shaoji.... Like every hoyoverse character... We can't really hate or blame you...

I mean did you see that final fight? He was telling the truth

Da wei so cute.

He was telling da truth

Yea, it's a good story. Sad??? Not really it's just that we meet and then die or story of someone who has been dying a long ago. It's pure comedy tbh, and i like it. If you are sad because of this, then maybe your life is not good. Also, this is just a game, so don't take seriously about it.

Apologize to Shaoji

What if that man is elio..

He really cooked again 😔

Path 2.3 firefly vs Raiden mei

So the current patch script is only less than 3 months old. I thought they were 1 year in advance. HSR dev team either gotta work harder from now on or adding new content take them less time after the base game has been launched.

Peak cinema

It was so peak

I don't want to be a party pooper and I get the memes, I played all of HI3rd, but these comments annoy me a little bit. Penacony was a wholesome story - just like how HI3rd was. Yes, there is darkness, but I would argue you can't have light without the dark. The lead up to the final battle where everyone works together and the final battle with Robin's song had me in tears - it was extremely wholesome. The message about not living in a dream, embracing reality, and looking past the shadow of nihility was beautifil and life affirming.

Ok what is the movie with the two guys nodding at each other? It looks familiar

Shaoji is Sunday?
