okay so hoyo has given us a bunch of stuff for the 3rd anniversary of HSR, including apparently a casual lore drop that silver wolf in her form of silver wolf LV999 is her unsealed and that she is actually an emanator of elation, but that elio rarely ever lets her use that form?!
also that they showed and confirmed other emanators in HSR besides what we already know, for example march/evernight - rememberance, such as acheron - nihility, herta - erudition, jing yuan - hunt, phainon - destruction, cyrene - rememberance.
also we might have gotten elio's human form too finally?! which if it is him, when i first saw him i thought that it was phainon and yet nope! and people are now wondering if possibly elio might be a kevin expy just like phainon is. which if that is the case hoyo isn't afraid of having multiple expies in the same universe such as silver wolf and bronya. and can i just say that elio's human form has got such a kinda futuristic look to him with the black and glowing blues? which does make sense too for the guy who follows the aeon who originated in the future and travels back in time.
Honkai: Star Rail x MAPPA Animation Concept Trailer — "Death in the Afternoon"
first off let me just say, THE ANIMATION IS AMAZING! 🤩 oh my god, did you see all the impact frames and the attention to detail on everything! Especially the fighting scenes and the emotional scenes?! AHHH!!
(sorry, I love animation.)
Anyway, back to the main topic, the animation, it had changed so many things I thought I knew about Silver wolf actually being an emanator and about the rest of the stellaron hunters. Especially Kafka! Did you see her so disheveled and tired looking? She didn’t even have her famous smile or smirk, depending on the angle, on her face. Which to me was kinda unnerving.
Why? Because while I have seen kafka frown before, that hopeless look in her eyes while looking up to the sky while it rained blood was kinda sad and creepy. Why was it raining blood, and why did Kafka look so disheveled?? What could have caused it? Was it before she joined the stellaron hunters? or is it a metaphor for something?
And I hope to everything that we finally got Elio’s human form because I have been trying to figure out what he looks like for so long and how his normal personality is.
Which from what I had seen, he’s more reserved and quiet, preferring to let the others do the work for him. but that’s just from what I saw in the video. I’m excited though and I hope we get official confirmation soon from Hoyo!
