THE GANG!

Warning: Mild spoilers for the new Myriad Celestia trailer.

These guys are such a pleasant surprise, oh my god. They're basically a demon lord and his 4 generals, and every one of them has a very neat, very unique design!

(Dubra is my personal favorite, because her description as a scribe and someone who mastered the blade seems at odds with her demure appearance. That, and the ghostly figure looming over her, really makes one think.)

It's also interesting to note that the four Paths Ifrit mentions for each of his children correspond to specific factions involved in Penacony. The Harmony to the Family (Sunday, Robin and co.), the Elation to the Masked Fools (Hanabi), the Preservation to the IPC (Aventurine), and the Remembrance to the Garden of Recollection (Black Swan).

I can't wait to see what they're up to next. Here's to some of them being playable, at least- I'd love to get more info on the Annihilation Gang.

Hoyo fandom, I love ya, but I’m on my knees, begging y’all to actually pay attention to the basic lore of the games cause why do so many people keep saying that the Annihilation Gang is all dead???

It’s flat out stated that only Ifrit was killed by Acheron. Akash, Dubra, Caterina and Constance are all still alive.

I'm still mad about this so, just so we're completely clear on the timeline of what happened here:

Hoyo builds up hype for Duke Inferno by giving us his backstory through the Follow-Up Attack Relic set, just in the background of an unrelated patch.

Duke Inferno is officially revealed as an invitee to Penacony during the end of a livestream to build up more hype, and he's shown to have one of the most distinctive designs in the game up to this point.

Duke Inferno gets to be a bit player in a different patch's story (albeit in a plot where it's implied he isn't actually involved and Ratio is just using him as a cover to carry out his own goals).

As build-up for Penacony Hoyo releases a teaser trailer entirely about Duke Inferno and his supporting cast, and the fanbase collectively goes bonkers over the new characters having extremely fun designs and the trailer itself being pretty visually stunning.

Said trailer also implies a bunch of backstory about said cast that we could possibly get elaborated upon later.

The Penacony story finally releases.

A certain character tells us Duke Inferno died offscreen before he even got to Penacony.

In the same conversation we are told the Duke's supporting cast disbanded immediately upon his death to go their own separate ways.

The Duke never appeared in the game proper outside of one motion graphic in the patch before he's killed. Neither he nor his supporting cast ever got in-game models.

Like, listen. I'm gonna let them finish the Penacony story first, because otherwise it's pretty solid so far. We have 2-3 patches for that. Acheron is pretty engaging as a character at least?

But this sucks, and I really hope they go back on it in a later patch.

Theatre kids. Duke Inferno assembled the forces of Destruction by assembling a group of theatre kids.

...and he wants to maim the Elation. Too close to home, huh :P

If Sserkal was responsible for all this, imagine how many more space gays she could have created given another fortnight of lifespan.

Mind FREAKIN' BLOWN

Heads up for spoilers for anyone that has not played the Penacony Arc. Read at your own risk!

Okay, so right as we finished this arc, we have been told that the Annihilation Gang had been disbanded after Ifrit had been slain - which explains some of the material of his popping up. But I also realized something else.

As the Annihilation Gang's trailer popped up, I noticed Dubra apple and was like 'Wait, I have seen it"

And when I checked in the omni- synthesizer, I realized why. Because for one of the recipes we can buy from the Penacony Shop, one of the recipes requires an apple that looks like this

And check out the apple that is used in the trailer:

Looks pretty similar. Maybe the golden one will refer to materials that needs to be harvest later, not sure. But just had my mind blown and wondering if there are other materials that can be pulled from the Annihilation gang.

Or Maybe I am the late to this but still! Freaking out a little!

We haven't even landed on Penacony yet & I'm already overwhelmed bro.

Light, stage, actors... Are you ready? The curtains will soon rise on The Family's banquet, and the golden blood of Destruction will run all the same. Enjoy the woven dream of beauty, for the Ever-Flame Mansion will offer all to them

Annihilation Gang

They all look so cool 🥹

But ngl it’s also really funny to me that these guys are evil af and do all that for Destruction’s sake (tho it seems most of them want the destruction of another path).

Yet Nanook doesn’t give a single shit about them 💀

I love a villain family

Low-key wanna see her get bullied by the masked fools ngl

O h… Oh god, the Annihilation Gang… Ever Flame Mansion…

Save me Constance… Constance… Constance save me…

Also the puppeteering with Dubra?? Omg.. the Penacony hype is real, the sheer lack of leaks about them makes me think they’ll probably be like after 2.0 which will be an agonizing wait for me to see them in game, but I will survive… can I do it
