SHE'S BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH MAN!! | Mifuyu Reacts to Firefly Animated Short: The Embers of Glamoth 

If I look at all these corpses I would argue that ALL of them sacrificed their lifes to end that swarm mother 😢

Gone but not forgotten, o7 😭

​@@fleup3870What's even more depressive is that this was just a weak swarm compared to what the propagation could send to you. And yet an army made out of inhumanly powerful soldiers just got brutally devoured by the Swarm

@@heikochujikyo The swarm spread across the entire universe so I agree, this was nothing and they still needed to sacrifice a planet to stop them.

Pay respects to Firefly too. She is a war veteran. 😢

I was surprised she knew Glammoth was no more by the time Firefly revealed it, I didn't know it was already gone by then. XD

That part really destroyed me... the shakiness in her voice is so convincing

Do we have any confirmation that this happened a long time ago? I don't believe this happens during the big war against the propagation and remnants of the swarm still exists in the universe. The Astral Express even happened upon some of the swarm in the current day, during Argentis quest. Though I guess there's nothing saying that it couldn't have been hundreds or thousands of years ago but it sounds more reasanable to assume it happened more recent.

​@@Gasten950We don't have definitive proof but certain things strongly imply that this happened a whiiiile ago: 1. Fireflies aren't supposed to live long because of their entropy loss syndrome (our Firefly is most likely an exception due to whatever powers she has awakened in this battle as signified by the green glow surrounding her body floating in space, so the disease most likely isn't quite as terminal for her) 2. If they lost so many just fighting a single Swarm Mother, I doubt they could survive for thousands of years since their creation without any supply of clones (which obviously couldn't exist if Glamoth has already fallen) 3. Firefly's hair can also be used as somewhat of a proof, since we know she has been growing it out and it doesn't appear to be much longer here than in her Myriad Celestia Trailer, which once again implies that the period between her "birth" and this battle is relatively short (and Glamoth had to be destroyed during this period) TL;DR, we have terminal illness, extremely low survivability rate and Firefly's apparently not-so-long life which all combined together make it extremely unlikely/borderline impossible for the events of this animated short to have taken place in any recent times~

This takes place after the fall of Glamoth

@@Lily_Denrose All assumptions and most of these points could be used in the opposite way. 1. Not sure if I misremember this but isn't the sam suit suposed to help them survive against the syndrome the only reason we see her more in her "human" form in the story is because we're in the dream so it's not progressing. The powerup is just how strong her will is atleast if we take what Welt says during the "keep up with star rail" video as real lore. No idea why she glows green is space though. 2. We don't know how long Glamoth existed and we don't know when they started to fight against the swarm, could've been 1000,100 or 10 years ago. At the point of this video Glamoth has already fallen and they're presumably the last of the Iron Cavalry.. 3. I don't think they would change up a characters design too much just for a trailer, so doesn't really mean anything. Could also just mean it hasn't been that long since it happen or she actually just cuts her hair (as much of a assumption as everything else here). The only time we saw a character being noticably different in a trailer is Jing Yuan when he's younger. Anyway it's kind of pointless to argue about this without any concrete information about dates. It's fun to speculate and theorize but I just don't think people should post assumptions and speculations as they were facts.

@@Gasten950 Agreed, we sadly don't have quite as much definitive information at the moment, so it's best to wait until 2.3 to see if there'll be any more info about Glamoth. Like, as of right now we only know when approximately the Swarm Disaster happened (13XX AE) and that the Empire most likely fought during those times as seen in their Planar Ornament set (the amount of bugs was supposedly so immense that they covered the skies of Glamoth's star system and blocked out the light from the star, which could either imply that the period mentioned is the Swarm Disaster due to the sheer number of bugs needed for such a feat or that there are still way, WAY too many of them left all around the universe)

I reckon the trailblazer being a Stellaron Hunter is meant to be a big reveal in the future, so while it's possible that we, Kafka, and Elio recruited Firefly together, Kafka is the face/diplomat of the Stellaron Hunters, so she was the only one shown in this animation to avoid a major plot reveal. Current theory is that the order of the SH goes as: Elio > TB > Kafka > Firefly > Blade > Silver Wolf.

We do know that Elio sends someone to recruit Kafka, meaning we have 1 more stellaron hunter missing, TB is one possible candidate due to how the SH seems to treat them as Friend and companions, or maybe we aee going to be introduced to them in the future

@@StranglerSix I suppose that's understandable, but I still believe that Trailblazer was the one who recruited Firefly. It would make sense considering how close she was with Trailblazer in Penacony, trying to make a good first impression and introduce herself as Firefly, not as Sam.

@@darkerrex1442 It’s very likely to be Trailblazer. Eilo instructed someone to approach her by following his "butterfly-effect script" with the chances of being killed, which resulted in a doom future. It said so in Kafka's 4th Character Story. So it's most likely that Eilo found Trailblazer first and sent them to find Kafka, despite being inexperienced in combat.

​@@StranglerSixit's already revealed in Kafka's companion mission though

.... I never been feel this conflicted for a Hoyo character 😑 And then there's the original MEI in Ggz that, while I don't play the game and lack context, is arguably the worse one... If what I learned from others is true...

Actually what Ruan Mei tried to recreate it’s worse. Skaracabaz would destroy a star and use the remains to make incubators.

Worse actually. She SUCCESSFULLY brought back the Emanator of Propagation (she did put a failsafe on it to prevent it from actually doing harm). If you look at it's trace material lore it outright says that it uses entire PLANETS as incubators!

@@miltonfigueroa3111 Skaracabaz original size is most likely similar to the Swarm mothers or even larger

Even worse, she wanted to recreate an Emanator of Propagation who has greater power than that swarm mother on the pv. Good thing that she failed

No, it's not if you're talking about the cinematic.

No, its just a Swarm Mother. An Emanator wouldve destroyed that planet or string it togther with another planet to make a Swarm nest.

What? Doesn't "peak of the Swarm Disaster" mean it happened during the Swarm Disaster? A peak of something means it was at the Glory Days, The time when they were at their most powerful

Oh wait, I see that "not" now lmao

@@hayond656The swarm Glamoth was fighting is the remnants of the Swarm after their Aeon is defeated. Meaning they were significantly weakened and they still manage to destroy Glamoth

"lucky" ... all of glamoth was destroyed already by the time we watched this

@@Testerossa Yeah, I was just confused as to why they said Peak of the Swarm and then started saying reasons why it wasn't the Peak Then I realized I just missed the "not" in their comment

in the trailer it looks like theyre still in the dream world if thats the case then no she wont die

​@@ineedmorecarrots6063 yeah but the orders power what's prevented people from dying, since we dissipated the orders power it's possible to die in the dream now

@@Tiathem nah unless theyre pulling some matrix shit where your real body can die if your projected body dies

@@Tiathem nah the orders power just stopped them from slipping into the true dream ... which we know was weakening as the bubble became more entwined with it

Seeing as it is probably either an Iron Man or a reference to Hi3 Kiana. She will not die. But it's theorized it's her third and worst death yet. So it's quite conflicting.

Brother shhh no one dies in the dreamscape

I'm honestly a little scared this will happen. They've been shipping her a little too hard with the MC. Gacha games never normally do this with the MC and makes me worried.

She survived a nuke and a planet explosion I don't think that plushie gunna do much to her they gotta be baiting us

Maybe her consciousness is kept in that butterfly thingy Screwllum was holding, and the new SU is about bringing her back

@@mrJones-ii7sh You guys in the comments are giving me a lot of hope haha ​​thank you
