Did you know. You get different answers from the same question if you restart the game and choose the same question. Though it's randomized you can get the same answer twice or maybe thrice
Kafkas actual face kinda reminds me of the female MC. Also spoilers for the end of her quest . . . We learn from blade that not only were we one of her 'followers', the longest that has stayed alive apparently, but kafka also apperently has done a lot to keep us alive. Very interesting!
Either we are her child, or we were Tryna arrest her to get that massive BOUNTY. Tho I thought he was talking bout when she was like telling us how aeons died n then the Ambrosia arbour grew
Theres alr a video that shows all the truth and lies from the game. She doesnt know much abt bladie's past tho. Basically, ellio passed the trailblazer to kafka and she was given the task to teach us how to be human lol. Then she wiped our memory and put a bomb in us. I think the trailblazer wasnt made from an aeon, but an aeon did make us capable of storing a stellaron. Some of the fake stories are cool too, like how blade was a mentor to deng feng but then was killed by dang feng and other apprentices. The one about being a guard of beauty or smth like that was also nice. And the one about being our biological birth mother. Hoyo knows the community well.
i asked kafka what MC is and than asked 1+1=2 to get confirmation for first question and MC is artificial created to hold Stellaron than given to Kafka for trening, get common sense and you know learn how to be "proper" adult but you can see Blade and Silver Wolf influence on them with trening. All of them was their teachers.
@@Lixii-cf5pzthe story about Blade being Dan Feng's teacher and getting betrayed by him and other disciples is actually very similar to how Fuhua (from Honkai Impact 3rd) got betrayed and killed by some of her students, amongst them was a man named Ma Yanqing (who looks like HSR Yanqing but like 50 years older lol)
Tbh i think her spider motifs represent the fact that spiders are patient in web building and waiting their prey and when the prey is caught on the web the spider becomes vicious and Kafka's personality is literally calm, patient but also kills her victims accordingly also her signature lightcone's name is literally "Patience is all you need"
I think it also represents her fate. In that shes a mother character for you, and many mother spiders die when their young are born. I think thats her fate. To die for you.
I trusted her immediately bc like shes technically our mom??? 😂😂 Edit: guys please understand this is just how I view Kafka I know shes not the trailblazer's canon mom 😭😭😭
Fun fact: Kafka’s banner name is “Nessun Dorma” which translates from Italian to “No one will sleep”. It’s a very popular song from the opera Turandot. The gist of the opera is that the princess Turandot will only marry the man who can solve all 3 of her riddles. A prince named Calaf solves her riddles, but the princess still doesn’t want to marry him so he makes a deal with her. If she can figure out his true name by the next day then she can have him executed otherwise she still has to marry him. The song Nessun Dorma is sung by Calaf as the morning approaches and is essentially him celebrating his victory because no one figured out his name. The name of the song comes from the Princess’s guards being heard in the background telling everyone no one will sleep until they figure out his name. Long story short: Kafka’s banner name being “Nessun Dorma” is a reference to the fact that we don’t know her true name.
"The gist of the opera is that the princess Turandot will only marry the man who can solve all 3 of her riddles." That sounds like a folktale from any european country.
@@rosjivenus1355 Oh sorry. Just from the sentence it came through as if you actually were know Wolfie's real name and only Kafka were the one whom we not know from the 2 mentioned person in your comment. If this makes sense.
also if you help her she texts you a day after asking how you are and if you like your life now 😭 its so fucking sweet (ive already gotten another one from her asking if we enjoyed doing missions)
Kafka is so nice to us. Also, while the Stelleron Hunters are labeled as criminals and may seem like villains, in truth, they're seeking the same thing we want: A future where Nanook doesn't destroy the universe. Elio's knowledge of the future has been very handy, and the Stelleron Hunters are taking instructions from Elio to result in that future. And the Trailblazer is a key component of achieving that future. In the secret bad ending of this game, that you can only get early in the game before boarding the Astral Express and becoming part of the Nameless, it's implied everyone on the Express died, because you weren't there to stop Cocolia's plans on Jarilo VI. I see the Stelleron Hunters as sorta the hidden goodguys of the story. Sure, they commit crimes, and have massive bounties on their heads, but they are taking each action that is required to achieve the good future Elio foresaw how to get. Think of it like the Butterfly Effect. A seemingly insignificant change in a moment of time before the future, can drastically change future events
@@zigazav1Its giving me twin arcons of inazuma. Trailblazers do the goody goody stuff in the surface and stellaron hunters do the dark stuff (in a not discreet way)
Nope, it seems like Kafka and Elio want us to stay with Astral Express for a while, since this was their plan for us from the start. The fact is that we were actually part of Stellaron Hunter alongside Kafka long before Silver Wolf, Blade, and Sam merged into Stellaron Hunter. So our MC died because of the incident until Elio ordered Kafka and Silver Wolf to infiltrate the Hertha Space Station to take Stellaron and put it in our MC's body so we can live then all our past memories with Stellaron Hunter were erased by Kafka with his Spirit Whisper and leaving only our memories are like our names and also the names of Kafka we remember. Then Kafka gave instructions for us to join Astral Express so that their plan would go according to plan, after that Kafka and Silver Wolf left us in a semi-conscious state and we fainted again until we were found by two people from Astral Express namely, Dang Heng and March 7th and that's how we join them to the Astral Express
@@tovarishcheleonora8542 And then she put a bomb on us and wiped our memories…. Yeah, not really seeing her or Elio’s good will here. Silver wolf at least is easy to read (she is just a troll who likes a challenge) and Blade just wants to die. So those two are at least trusted to stick to their lanes, but Kafka is stated to 100% do anything for her completely self-serving goal… and who knows what Elio really wants.
@@lenleon3699 "And then she put a bomb on us and wiped our memories" Of course she did. She built up a trump card (with the Stellaron), and she did need us to join the express crew which possibly needed a memory wipe. This game is not your classic cartoon "good guys" and "bad guys" situation. And there are good things that sometimes needs actions that you and the kids and the "social media moral knights" might consider as "bad". Also as far as we know, Elio and the Stellaron Hunters wants to stop Nanook from destroying the world. And if you think about it, the events going on a way that can build up the needed strenght to stop him. And before you come with "but what if Elio is lying", no, he very possibly don't. You can't build a huge plan what they working on right now onto lies.
I laughed after finding out during her mission that the “mother” theory was actually confirmed by her lol since she technically raised us & taught us how to live
@@DB-Fighter-Carsonnot that one, "trailblazer is genetically kafka's child" is a lie yes, but the other one where she said Elio give us to Kafka, and she teach us common knowledge and such things that basically she raised us, is a truth. So yeah shes basically and technically our mother, but not literally
@@DB-Fighter-Carson Look up all the truthful answers she gives here in a video. Can confirm that the first answer is the truth too by asking “one plus one is two right?” As the second question.
IM SO SADDDD i lost thw 50/50 on her bannerrr 😭 if only her's and Blade's banners were switched, because I wouldn't have been as sad if I lost the 50/50 with Blade
That Blade's little story about trailblazer and kafka's past made me imagining smol trailblazer hiding behind Kafka's legs when they first met Blade and Blade got to witness trailblazer's development as Kafka trained them, so Blade is like our uncle lol
I started playing star rail for the exact reason to attempt and pull her banner the last time it was up. I grinded until I had about 80 pulls and did it on her banner. Got her on the first 80. Been playing it ever since. Rumor has it she’s returning in January.
Also when you do fight yanquin she does say that the trailblazer is under her control due to the spirit whisper, n All I can say is "is that true? Wait..."
I doubt Sam's bounty will not reach or exceed Kafka's bounty. Most likely Sam's Bounty is under Kafka or Blade, We'll have to wait until he releases banner and also the trailer which will reveal the amount of his bounty 🤔
don't take my word for it cause im not 100% sure but i think once you choose to walk away and not help you can no longer do it. its like an alternative to "completing" the quest@@kukitali
For y'all that's wondering, Kafuka is actually Kafka's name in Chinese Mandarin pronounciation. Kafka= 卡芙卡 (Ka Fu Ka) I HOPE EVERY ONE CAN GET A KAFKA, GOOD LUCK Y'ALL (I don't know shit about Japanese- plus, Mihoyo is a *Chinese* company.)
Yes, Mihoyo is a Chinese company. That markets itself as a "Japanese" game, using the Japanese pronunciations for their titles, and having a Japanese animation studio make their anime. Lmao, stop being so defensive about it.
@@darklordsatan4383No? You are true about the pronunciation but that came from Honkai Gakuen 1 which is a 2011 game and after that it became a marketing branding so you can’t really call HSR a Japanese marketing when the decision is made a decade ago on another pipeline. And having Japanese animation studio works on animation says nothing about the company, why is everything Made In China because it is cheap and reliable. Same thing here Japan makes the best animation so if you can do it why not? And don’t forget both Genshin and HSR launched with Chinese inspired content and that’s actually saying something. Last, how can you tell people to not be defensive about it when you are actively instigating the conflict? This is like telling people to not get mad when you hit them, it is precisely because of people like you that made other people defensive lmao. Get your logic straight man or just stop commenting on things you don’t want to get involved in.
The trailer when the beat drops and show us kafka with the 10b bounty, so cold 💀😭 i cant stop watching the trailer lmao goodluck to everyone pulling for kafka!! Shes absolutely beutiful i hope i get her soon too
Since she wants to kill an Aeon, I bet shes first making us understand her POV somewhat (like when we questioned her on Xianzhou) and then later make us transform into some crazy powerfull stellaron without resisting against that choice since we understand what their goal is. I do believe that those Stellaron Hunters could be somewhat of the good guys but more extreme means.
well judging by how Blade says ... and spoiler alert for anyone - Blade said that we used to travel with Kafka so basically before we got captured by , most likely , the IPC and our memories got wiped along with us being put in data space we were a Stellaron Hunter (?) or whatever they used to call themselves before. Blade said that he used to see us following Kafka everywhere. I kinda see that based on how we talk and how we fight , we are very aggressive even when we change paths .
LoL didn't know she sends a picture. Kinda wish someone would post those. I wonder if she'll do it in all her messages from then forward. Since she also use an unknown number for her message.
Remember that characters like Dang Heng IL and Kafka are pretty quick to rerun (as is the standard with Hoyoverse) so it wouldn't hurt you too much to skip him or her. Me personally I like Kafka more and her and Sampo against the Deer demolishes it in nihility path with no issue. And another thing, in 1.3 Sim universe will get a pretty busted Nihility lightcone that'll fit very well with her.
@@PrismPupsickle 🤷♀️ Sampo is one of plenty options that work very well with Kafka. To name a few, Tingyun, Silver Wolf, Pela, Luka and any other future dot units work phenomenally well with her. One of the best things about her is her ult. One of her traces makes it so that during her ultimate attack, every single other dot applied to the enemies she's attacking activate at the same time together with her ultimate. Let's say you add multiple stacks of bleed to an anime, that bleed now activates together with her own ultimate damage, and there is no real limit to this.
Let's say you go with a team like this. Lucoha, Tingyun, Silver Wolf and Kafka. That team alone can single handedly carry you through the most difficult fights, then you can also set up a separate Dan Feng team as well whenever you end up getting him, then again, the same thing can happen with Kafka, both these units will very likely rerun pretty quickly considering their popularity.
Honestly the main thing for me at least. Is that I roll for who I like, I like Kafka and I also like Dan Feng, so even though I have Kafka I'll also roll for him, if I get him yay, if I don't then I have a guarantee for the next character I like.
I bet there are many that refused to help her, and may or may not regret it. Another fun fact you didnt mention is that the achievement for her companion mission also has a * note saying whether you accepted or refused to help her. Thats the kind of difference that could serve as a trigger to change story quest interactions down the line.
Kafka seemed so sweet when we said that we like her and want to see her again, and then later when she sends you anonymous messages 😩 I can't believe she wants to cause us harm
The kafuka part is easily explained I feel like. That's just a direct translation of how it's said in Chinese (and Japanese). Somebody probably just messed it up in the lore page.
It's done in a really shitty fashion considering it's a gacha game . Good games that do it well give you the option to replay them while keeping your original choices and the impact they have intact. The game being a gacha however means this isn't possible unless you make an entire brand new account. It's such a joke. Ending a quest early causing people to miss the entire experience just cause they weren't kissing Kafka's ass (cause they simply refuse to allow you to dislike this character. Lmao nice "choices" Hoyo) is such bad design.
@@justsomeguy727honestly I find it a great way to teach the player that your actions have consequences and that once you pick them, they are irreverisable. And it's sorta meta with the whole elio script shenanigans but you get what you get
@@justsomeguy727 imagine having to live with the tiny consequences of your decisions, therefore giving your decisions more weight, what a truly awful fate.
I noticed the butterfly and immediately thought of Selee. We need more of that girl. She's too interesting, especially considering how big of a role she has in H. Impact 3 (ni spoilers plz. I'm only on chapter 23)
I legit refused to help her, and the quest completed by leaving. Honestly I don't mind that I might not see Kafka, because I could always watch what happens in others playthrough :D
Kafka’s name is Chinese is 卡芙卡(kǎ fú kǎ) and the translation into English would be Kafka without the u because there’s no way to represent an f without a u in Chinese. I’m assuming they just accidentally left it in there.
Just remember Kafka is originally from Hi3, she's there as the Kafka stigmata set, based on the historical figure Franz Kafka Yes, so she's basically a genderbent Czech man With this in mind we can assume Kafka is her last name, and her real name may just be Franz but changed to be more feminine, so... Francessca?
I change everything i have to dark purple theme and climb a fukin mountain and begging while pulling for her And i got her early :)) 20 roll and she came home
Also, at the beginning of her song, the background beat matches a heartbeat and then picks up when the guards actually see her, showing the fear she creates.
