#as opposed to Herrscher of Reason Bronya...

[ @tiredstudents​ sent in: ❛ i can bear my pain so long as it has meaning. ❜ Daniel and Bronya ] [  quotes that broke me - closed! ]  

“The Bronya knows this feeling.” She speaks, her dull tone betraying a sense of familiarity hidden within her words. She shifts her weight from one side to the other, as if re-familairisng herself with her own body, as if making recognition of the heavy metal fixtures one would call ‘her legs.’

 “Sometimes. “ She starts, with an almost wistful sigh. “The world is full of pain. No matter where you go, you’ll find it.” She blinks once. Twice. “But...Mhm. Many people suffer alot...for the sake of people important to them. But...even though it hurts- it has meaning, and it has worth.”

“The Bronya...knows this feeling, too.”

“...So...We are alike, in some ways. The Bronya thinks this knowledge may be comforting to you. No matter how much hurt you may experience in this life, for whoever or whatever...It’s okay--”

“The Bronya understands these feelings of yours.”

is welt yang's ability to regenerate himself after dying best described as "reason fuckery" or was it explained somewhere how exactly he's pulled so many "i lived bitch"s

The Herrscher of Reason can construct anything that they understand. It's also easier for the Herrscher of Reason to to just learn things. Welt Joyce gets the schematics for a radar system beamed into his brain by Reanna and he's able to construct it immediately with no effort.

You put these two together and and that's why Bronya was able to create a better Project Bunny the second she got the Herrscher core. And since she was a child soldier, she was creating guns like it was nothing when training with Welt.

All it would take for Welt Yang to reconstruct his body to know what his body looks like and how the organs inside are arranged and what they do. It would be a lot for normal person but for the HoR they just perceive reality different.

That's not an exaggeration btw, the Herrscher of Reason can perceive reality in up to like, 11 dimensions, as opposed to the three space and one time dimensions regular humans get.

With all of that in mind, suddenly the fact that Welt can replicate Divine Keys and created bubble universes to stop people from entering the Sea of Quanta seem like they are easier to do.

Aight, Honkai Impact 3rd Speculation time. This will probably contain spoilers for ALL of the last year or so of Honkai Impact 3rd's content and just assume the manga extra materials will also be spoiled too.

So, with the new trailer and chapter released - hoo boy, that chapter is Nigh-On Incomprehensible without reading the following manga on the Honkai Site: 2nd Eruption, World Serpent, London Holiday, Second Key, and the untranslated Durandal Visual Novel (Hurrah!) - I am throwing my hat in the Speculation/ Analysis arena.

From Chapter 25-EX's general run and the Return to Nagazora, we know that Otto intends to try and access the Imaginary Tree in the hopes that the knowledge there will allow him to resurrect Kallen (Dear god, this man is a worse simp than I am). In order to do so, he plans to use the Herrscher of Dominance's Theatre (It's own Imaginary Space), to link to the tree. Which he can only do with the Core of the Herrscher of Domination. Mei herself said the Core disappeared...

Because Otto acquired it when Kiana landed her killing blow on the Herrscher. (Chapter 25-EX cutscene).

So, the general thrust here is that Otto is now, essentially, the next Herrscher of Domination. From the trailer, we see both Seele and Bronya fighting masked Otto-look-a-likes (Hey, if you read Second Eruption, Otto wore a very similar mask at one point.) And since Domination could steal Herrscher Powers, this arc is likely going to be him attempting to steal both Reason and Death (Implied to be related Seele's Other Self, as she does have the Stigma of the Herrscher of Death, a Scythe and the Butterfly is often used as a symbol of resurrection). We see in Second Eruption, that by using the powers of Reason and Death, a physical form can be made, when Sirin attempted to use them to revive her mother, but it was an imperfect resurrection because it didn't contain the soul of the revived individual.

Otto thinks that the Honkai God/Will of the Honkai etc, probably has the answers - and that he can probably achieve such power in the Imaginary Tree. So, he'll probably grab the powers of Reason and Death from Seele and Bronya.

Following on from this, we also have Fu Hua fighting a disciple of hers from another untranslated Visual Novel (About Fu Hua and her seven disciples, first seen in the Herrscher of Sentience Arc). This is either somehow Otto bring her disciple from her past, Sentience being a bit of a binch to Old Timer, or... Otto using the Power of Sentience to face down Fu Hua. The Power of Sentience is probably going to play a role in somehow recovering Kallen's original will/ sentience and somehow transfer it to a body made by the Reason/Death powers. It'll probably also be somewhat related to his Pact with the Void Archives to surrender his body at some point.

As for why Mei is facing down Durandal - I predict that Mobius or Elysia in the Elysian Realm is going to reveal something to her about the nature of Imaginary Spaces and how Otto's whole plan is bad for humanity - which will lead the World Serpent to try and stop Otto's plan, hence why Mei is wandering a path in the Sea of Quanta and then squaring up to face Durandal (Note, Kevin's whole Eugenics to Defeat the Honkai is... probably Not a Good Plan Either). Durandal's loyal to Otto, believing his plan will lead to some breakthrough against the Honkai, so she'll defend him whilst he does his shenanigans. Meanwhile, everyone else sees messing with something like the Imaginary Tree is... probably some Bad News for us all. Hell, I can imagine Otto offering to revive Himeko for Kiana in exchange for her help or to get her to stop opposing him. Because he always tries to hit emotional weakpoints cause he's a bitch.

Theresa's probably going to awaken a Herrscher Consciousness, cause apparently attending St. Freya's increases the chance you'll become a Herrscher by like...90%. I want Himeko's ghost to just sigh at all her girls becoming Herrschers, because even after death, Squad Five is going to cause Himeko problems.

I... really also believe Kallen will be revived - hell, she hasn't had a new battlesuit in over 2 years - but become the Herrscher of the End/ Final Herrscher. Just because the Irony in that would be too good.

I mean, this isn't an exhaustive speculation on ALL that Honkai has going on for its remaining few years of Main Line Story content, especially since additional Honkai IPs have been registered by Mihoyo, but it's the bad ideas rattling in my brain.

What is exactly Kevin's motivation for starting WS/in general? Cuz I keep seeing all these memes where he and Otto are both dumpster fires of human beings and I've read enough of the manga and played the game far enough to understand how Otto is a flaming pile of feces but I only know two things about Kevin; his policy is apparently "Genocide first, ask questions later" and he was a little bitch when Shamash didn't do shiz against HoS.

His motivation is to complete Project STIGMA which was a Previous Era project to make sure people in the Current Era would have stigmata. The issue is that the genes for stigmata are so diluted that basically nobody has them anymore and even those who do have stigmata have dormant ones.

How do activate the dormant stigmata? Flood an area with Honkai energy and then the people with them will have theirs activated. What about everyone else?

Did I mention that this will only work on less than 1% of people?

People with stigmata are basically immune to Honkai energy so that's why Kevin considers it "worth it" because it will allow humans to survive and because all other projects have failed. Actually he doesn't know that Project VALUKA succeeded but I don't think he'd trust the people of the Current Era to finish the work on that one like Su did/does. Talking about Su is weird cause he died but went to a fancy afterlife thing for some reason.

Anyway, how do flood an area with Honkai energy to activate all those stigmata? We already have that answer, we've seen it happen three times.

In Nagazora, Cocolia (a World Serpent operative) set up the Gem of Conquest to be overloaded with Honkai energy causing the 3rd Eruption (hey that's the title) in which only Mei (the Herrscher created in the Eruption), Bronya, and Kiana survived. None of them have stigmata that weren't already there, Kiana already had her Herrscher core, and Bronya just had super high Honkai resistence from the X-10 experiment.

In Singapore, Cocolia was going to do the same thing with the Gem of Serenity but Kiana inadvertantly absorbed all the Honkai energy in her attempt to stop the Eruption which woke up the Herrscher of the Void. Fu Hua punched her back to sleep.

In Arc City, World Serpent sets off the Honkai reactor from Rita's destroyed ship in an attempt to do the same. Once again Kiana absorbs all the Honkai energy, which nearly kills her.

I believe World Serpent's endgame is to do this to the whole world, and considering how many Herrscher cores thay've been collecting they could pull it off. They got the cores from the Herrschers of Wind, Ice, Stars, and lots from the many Domination.

As you can imagine doing that to the whole world and killing >99% of everyone just to get a few people with Honkai resistence/immunity is very bad and mostly everyone opposes this. This is why Kevin Kaslana is a bastard.
