also honkai's lucky there isn't any archives i can sink my teeth into otherwise you wouldn't see me ever i'd just be knee deep eating all the lore through that

[phoenix-is-the-hottest-thing]

Although speaking of the manga: you saying earlier that Mei is the one putting all the work into the relationship is not entirely true because it was Kiana who saved Mei from suicide, the herrscher, the zombie ambush in chapter 1, and Anti-Entropy twice. It was the fact that Kiana did all the heavy lifting that made Mei's feeling of helplessness grow to the point that she would be willing to do anything to save her girlfriend from having to sacrifice herself to save the world in chapter 17. I think this is why I owe so much and relate so heavily to kiamei as I also had a loved one who helped me through dark times and is now gone forever and there is nothing I can do about it and when I played chapter 17 it was still fresh in my memory and it singlehandedly helped me move on from that experience. It may have also helped that I did not get spoiled about this at all and though kiamei would be a lovey dovey relationship and I did enjoy that dynamic obviously and I do love when they held hands in chapter 32. It is a shame that it does not look like they will have much angst any time soon although Kiana being trapped on the moon during the alien invasion in A Post Honkai Odyssey could make for a good reunion.

See though these are individual heroic acts; what I was referring to was more mundane, long-term emotional support. Pre-story I don’t get the feeling Kiana was mature enough to do that consciously. It was important to Mei that Kiana saved her, but she was acting as a hero, not a girlfriend.

A partner needs to be able to sit down with you and understand your worries and burdens, share chores if you live together, and not let you handle everything on your own. If Kiana soothed Mei, I feel it was more by being herself than being aware of Mei’s internal life. She liked being taken care of and acting cute and flirty, but a big point of the story is her growing up, so she acted more like an oblivious child?

That said— I’m talking about the characters, not your relationship. That the characters mean something special to you doesn’t change that. At no point is my intent to talk about what you went through or what the characters should mean to you, it’s just my own view of the dolls I’m playing with.

In case anyone wants to read some of the the original honkai impact fan translations, here’s a compilation of links. The honkai manhua fan translations used to be on mangadex but they got removed when MiHiYo put up the official translations instead. I may be misremembering but based on the original copy of the 1st AE invasion chapter (imagur link) I’m fairly sure some of these used to have more pixels. Some of these don’t have an official translation so I’ve starred the ones that don’t have complete official translations and double starred ones with no official translation.

Do you have a list of ggz manga that is relevant to hi3 story? I see you reference them in your posts a lot, and they seem to be able to explain what I don't understand. Preferably in an order they should be read in 😣

There is one that I know is relevant because it's actually included on the CN comic website but not on the global one.

Here's a link to an unofficial translation since there isn't an official one. Also there's a lot of contradictory information because there are differences between GGZ and hi3, like it says Judah's spears are tipped with obsidian which seals Honkai, which isn't true in hi3. So don't think too hard trying to reconcile the contradicting info and just have fun with Kallen swearing.

It also comes with this link to a bilibili video https://www.bilibili.com/video/av2645577

A part that is canon is the last panel of Sakura meeting Kiana! This is confirmed during the Anti-Entropy Invasion comic!

Hi lovely! I want to learn the lord of Honkai but can’t play the game, is there a way to do it? I have seen the cinematics and they blew my mind!!

you can read the manga and watch somebody play through the story on youtube, I'm certain there are playthroughs that don't have commentary.

https://manga.honkaiimpact3.com/book

for the manga I'd really suggest starting at Azure Waters and going down the list in Main Comics then go back to the top and end on Second Eruption. Second Eruption is so good I'm begging you to not start on it.

IMPORTANT NOTE: After the St. Freya High chapters, the next chapters of the story are in Anti-Entropy Invasion, not Gratitude Arc. They are the ones without AE Invasion in the chapter title. Then you backtrack to Gratitude arc, then go through the AE Invasion like normal.

I found somebody starting at Chapter 1 with no commentary. No promises on if they continue or not.

in the AE Invasion manga, Cocolia introduced the Welt clone as the sovereign, which he "proved" by using his powers. but at the end we see that Einstein knew the real sovereign was Welt Yang. so did everyone in the group at the beginning know the truth or just Einstein? i would think at least Tesla knew as well

We don't know for certain in the text but I don't think there's any way he did anything without Einstein and Tesla knowing. They are in charge of Anti-Entropy together, not to mention that they are extremely close. I don't see Welt as the kind of person to crush somebody with gravity to prove a point.

[busghost]

In the manga by the end of second eruption, was Otto was brainwashing Theresa? If so, why? It showed him with Fenghuan Down and it reflected on her eyes

Yes, he was altering her memories of the Second Honkai War. So he made her forget meeting and fighting alongside Anti-Entropy and made her believe that Cecilia called for the nukes to be launched at her and Sirin, rather than Otto launching them to kill Siegfried.

This is why she doesn’t recognize Einstein in the Anti-Entropy Invasion comic.

[busghost]

there's probably nothing for it, but I'll ask just to be sure - are there any written down/mentioned characteristics of herrscher's wings? the only one I remember was in St. Freya High manga when Himeko was discussing with Theresa how the hell Kiana even managed to touch Mei's wings, thus neutralising the herrscher, since they're insanely hot

This is much more theorizing than actually answering with sources. As you said, the only source for what’s up with Herrscher wings is what Himeko says,

“... pure, raging insanely hot, unstoppable runaway honkai energy”

and that she took out the Third Herrscher by taking out her wings.

Practically speaking, when the Herrschers have their glowing bits (wings, eyes, horns, etc.) it's a signal to the audience that the character is harnessing their Herrscher powers to their full extent. Kiana and Bronya are still Herrschers even when they aren’t glowing. But that’s a boring explanation and the first few manga chapters contradict canon sometimes. So let’s look way too far into this!

Theresa does say that it’s because she’s a Kaslana she was able to do that, cause Kaslanas are extremely resistant to honkai energy. We, however, have more knowledge than Theresa does at that moment in time we know that Kiana is the Herrscher of the Void.

With that in mind, if you look at how weak Mei’s first awakening as a herrscher was maybe Kiana just being there she unknowingly took some of the Honkai energy intended for Mei. Maybe when she touched Mei’s wings she just drained her honkai energy? She does have the Herrscher working against her in her own mind and when the honkai bomb went off over ARC City she absorbed nearly all the honkai energy.

Are the wings where the honkai is stored? Probably not cause we see other Herrschers do plenty of funky stuff without wings or glowing bits (see, every Herrscher of Reason) and we’re told that their power comes from the Herrscher’s core’s connection to imaginary space.

Something to note is that the wings can be interacted with as Kiana does rip the wings from Mei. However in Lament of the Fallen Mei’s hair goes through her horns as if they aren’t there. Her horns are also see through like Herrscher wings.

The 4th Generation Godsbane battlesuits also have some herrscher-like elements, for example Knight Moonbeam wings can be grabbed as Kiana does just that in the Anti-Entropy Invasion manga. Also Vermilion Knight spews fire out the back like wings in Final Lesson. Fu Hua’s new evil getup looks to be overflowing with honkai energy as well.

The Will of the Honkai/ God really does go for the Aesthetic and gives the Herrschers really pretty dresses and such so why not give them wings for the cool factor? If you’re bringing about the apocalypse you may as well be serving looks at the same time. Even the zombies don’t look all that bad.

Uuuhhhhhh. There is no “In conclusion”, I’m shouting theories/ideas out there and seeing what y’all think of them.

[busghost]

since you have been here since the beginning of time, when Kiana became HoV, what was the general reaction of the fandom? and how was the fandom's reaction when Kiana was revealed to be K-423?

There were two reactions to HoV.

HOLY FUCK OH NO KIANA ;-; (Everyone is gonna die! sometimes added)

and

Evil lady step on me

The “everyone is going to die” being added was because some people thought that the story would end the same way GGZ did. Even though it’d be dumb for them to end two games in nearly the exact same way and it was only chapter 8.

As for Kiana being revealed to be a clone, there was surprisingly little reaction to that bomb. Really all that came from that was

“Where’s the original Kiana then????”

Probably because the characters themselves didn’t really react to it. Otto says she’s not the real Kiana and Theresa says they know and it doesn’t matter because they love her and then they attack Schicksal HQ. An aside, but have you noticed that all the antagonists treat Kiana as an object (test subject K423, or “just a vessel”) but everyone who is at least meant to be a little sympathetic treat her as a person?

Theresa knew since Anti-Entropy Invasion manga, which takes place before the game even started. Cocolia sends a Welt clone to kidnap Mei and Theresa tries to stop Einstien and Cocolia from stealing from the underground vault. Theresa gets there and Einstien tells her to take a really good look at who’s actually inside the vats all around them. Whoops! more K-400 series bodies.

The biggest twist was when the Second Eruption manga ended and it was revealed that Kiana actually IS Sirin. That was wild. Before that everyone just thought she was just a new person that woke up in the body K-423, but then, she is actually the person we thought was the antagonist Herrscher who took over her body?! And Sirin came back because she wanted to be loved! You had people who hadn’t read the manga constantly going “wait what’s everyone talking about?” But for everyone else, it was a WHAT THE FUCK kind of reveal.
