Harmony in a nutshell: They're either insane or morally corrupt (Sparkle and Ruan Mei) Experienced devastating tragedies (Bronya, Yukong and Hanya) Chronically rich (Asta) Or outright deceased(?) (Tingyun)
Something I noticed with Sparkle's little Russian Roulette with herself is that she's differentiated by the fox masks on her head. The one that looks to be the 'real' Sparkle has the white mask on her head while the other Sparkle/Aha(?) has a red mask. Later on in the video, the white mask fades into being a mix between the white and the red mask, which is Sparkle's mask in-game Just food for thought
i really like how she has so many fake versions of herself and progressively kills off the fake versions once they're no longer of use to her. only leaving her not who the real one ever was also her saying (in the other trailer) when im angry, youre still smiling to the mask. like her true thoughts and intentions are always hidden im ngl, that portion of her character, is too real. having to be someone im not constantly and eventually losing my sense of self obviously shes too insane to relate to completely LOL that portion just really clicked with me shes fascinating
She is probably an emanator, like in her previous PV i bet the one she feel like watching her is probably Aha itself. Like she not afraid of IPC, sampo is afraid of her, and she try to mess/dance with black swam who seems like an emanator of fuli.
She's never gonna give you up She's never gonna let you down She's never gonna run around and desert you She's never gonna make you cry She's never gonna say goodbye She's never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We may see Aha this story arc. After all Aha is the “the worst Trailblazer” mentioned in the memory fragment video by Pom Pom. Aha pretended to be a normal person, joined the crew for a year, gained everyone’s trust - and then blew up the train. This was back when Akivili was still alive IIRC.
Really interesting is that Aha doesn't seem to be evil aligned either.....just a massive chaos gremlin with unfathomable cosmic power.....which isn't a very good for the universe combination
@@noathern A true chaotic-neutral character with a power of god. Not like some god what exists in a lore and defined as a chaotic neutral but the one actually interacting with the world a lot and having real fun.
Words of Wisdom Silver Wolf: Don't ask Silver Wolf: Don't hesitate Silver Wolf: Just pull Silver Wolf: If ur asking, u want it Silver Wolf: Pull first, ask questions later
Hands down the best character trailer, this really does bring out the unhinged set of Sparkle's character in a creepy way, easily best girl! Hoyoverse went hard on this trailer and as people mentioned, it's got that Persona 3 treatment at the start.
@@eggsalad44 i dont see acheron as waifu at all. I dont even see the appeal to pull her even after seeing her leak gameplay. I dont want to pulls for another Electric DPS even if she is ultra strong. I would just pull for her If she had some crazy lore that I end up liking or something like that.
I was already pulling for Sparkle after I heard who her English VA was (I'm a Yanfei main in Genshin, and they have the same VA) but all these trailers have hyped me up way more than I could of ever hoped for. They COOKED with her character, and I couldn't be happier. I may even go for her light cone now.
Best Part of this is everything in the trailer has so many frames and I love the reference from kurumi with the gun and many clones of herself is just chefs kiss
Bruh they got this idea from Kurumi Tokisaki in Date a live. the unhinged playful character, shooting her self and the clones at the end screams Kurumi all over this trailer..... and I love it!
You have no idea. How I have BEEN waiting for this. First,Sparkle is the exact..psycho kinda girl i love as an "antagonist ". Second, I love Aha/The Laughter/Joyseeker (Aeon of Elation and Joy) so I LOVE THE MASKED FOOLS! So I love Sparkle❤
Anyone else notice that she put the bullet in the 6th slot, and that only after the 6th shot did the line come out of the fun to signify the bullet being fired? This attention to detail is insane.
I’ll explain why she is shooting her self while fighting. There is only one bullet left on the chamber, so Sparkle made a wager with another sparkle to see if she will die from the last bullet. She indeed shot herself 4 times, which turns it into a 50/50 that she dies. In the end, I think Sparkle killed herself, being shot through the mask.
Now imagine the devs make it so when you pull her, she appears a Himeko but after a short delay she pops out asking if we were scared just now, just like the end of her trailer.
As a trailer concept, I love the references it has to some of my favorite things, such as the gun (Persona 3), and the multiple sparkles "clones" (Kurumi Tokisaki from Date a Live). Then, they top off with some really good tune (the whistling!) and psychedelic imagery, with a sprinkling of Sparkle's actual HSR animations. So many things to gush about, and I am screaming in agony because I still need to save for Acheron. Sparkle wanters, may you get your own Sparkle effortlessly!
So I have a interesting theory At the "I AM Elation" after that you can see Sparkle transform into other characters and before the transformation we can see different masks and different pattern, after that she will transform. But by transform into Adventurine the Mask(important must remember the pattern of the mask)after that we see a smaller version of Sparkle sit on the palm of a another Sparkle and the smaller Sparkle have the same mask pattern as the from Adventurine the she get shot. And right after that we see the same mask pattern turn into Sparkle mask pattern(in the end of the transformation you she her transform to herself with a mask pattern of her) So what if in the future of the story Adventurine get shot but turn out to be Sparkle. That would be insane n.g.l So feel free to comment on this one because it's quite interesting to look at
With every trailer we get of her, I'm getting more and more terrified of her. Honestly, she might be the scariest of the Penacony characters we've seen yet.
They were definitely inspired by Tokisaki Kurumi lol. Tokisaki Kurumi being a very loved character from Date-A-Live, a 7/10 manga/anime that was hyper carried by a really well designed character who companies would make figures of even if it had been years since the last season of the anime, you would and still will find merch of her, she just won't leave lol. They have a similar color scheme of red, and both have disguises where they act... normal(ish). They both act the same, says things in the same elated (hehe) manner yet sound terrifying. Kurumi has time travel powers, she shoots herself to scare the other characters for fun then pops right back in again, she uses a real gun though lol.
Pertaining to the thumbnail, Sparkle follows the Aha, the Aeon of Elation. But her kit is Harmony. But in game world, they obviously dont think "oh, my abilities are support, so im harmony".
Also the "Sparkle is Aha/Emanator" is an extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeme reach. Also, no, most people are not skipping Sparkle. Vast majority were pulling for her. It's Aventurine who's getting skipped lol.
Hey guys, you know what? Does it sounds really cool if each of the Masked Fools characters always got this crazy concept of Trailer? I mean like... The rumors said there's gonna be a 5 star Sampo y'know
My theory when it comes to Sparkle. In her insanity she sees everyone else as herself. Which she must kill... Which not selling me on her mental health
2:09 theory! What if the one talking is actually Aha themself and the person they're freaking out is Sparkle? She was on the verge of a nervous breakdown from her acting career, but Aha was around at the time and decided to play a prank of their own, leaving the real Sparkle completely insane and mentally broken, resulting in her current personality.
Something about this trailer reminds me of the .Hack series. Well in general Penacony is very similar to .Hack where you have people logging into a game that is hiding some dangerous secret which is threatening the players and the game itself. Trying to uncover that secret leads the characters into a different level of reality within the game where they uncover lost/dormant consciousnesses but also place themself in even greater danger and set off an unexpected chain of events while learning more about the origin of the game and how that origin is tied into the secret danger. There are powerful beings in the world representing a specific idea. Aeons in HSR, 8 phases of the Morgana Wave in .Hack Various factions are each trying to carry out their own agenda. From policing to organized crime to business to spreading chaos. People are falling unconscious in real life during the time they play the game from their interaction with creatures from the secret danger. The MC is endowed with a special power that is the only way to defeat the secret danger. Stellaron in HSR, Book of Twilight in .hack Really HSR has a lot of elements in common with the .hack series. But that is simply because of the type of fiction they both are which necessarily share some tropes.
i randomly got her when pulling, didnt even pay attention to what i was pulling, then she was there, i found out there's a trailer, then i found out she crazy, then i fell in love, then i found out she's supposed to be like the big bad of 4th destination, then i got heartbroken
When the face morphing happens during the mushroom time, there is a small moment when going from adventurine to archeron where it looks like Constance from the everflame mansion. I dont know if it is intentional or not, but it is food for thought.
Quick theory: Hanabi can get the powers of an emanator when she wears her mask, but she goes insane whenever she does due to forgetting the concept of her existence. Notice how there's 3 mask color stages: full white, half white and red, and pure red. The white represents the consciense of sparkle herself. But when half the mask turns red, her personality splits, giving her emanation powers of elation. However, once the mask goes fully red, she gets powers of elation almost as powerful as Aha's himself, the aeon of elation (maybe she even gets posessed by Aha). But there's a kicker to that immense power: sparkle loses herself into the powers of elation and her consciense gets erased from her own body, becoming another puppet of Aha. Maybe that's why she defines herself as elation and why she says "I am not sparkle", with Aha responding "No, I am sparkle"
she reminds me of the dark girl from date a live i forgot her name but she does what sparkle does where she shoots her self to create more of her in future and pastense
