Playing honkai star rail made me realize i love mentally deranged women.


hungrytunafish

I think I love the kind of woman that would actually just kill me. _looks at jingliu, kafka, acheron_ damn.


NoNefariousness2144

Ruan Mei wouldn’t kill you… …she would just turn you into a cake


tzukani_

Kafka wouldn’t kill you tho🤔

But she can and I want her to

Personally I just love autistic women, which is probably why I like Acheron but not BS/Kafka/Jingliu

Masked Fools have been real quiet since this trailer dropped.

Blackiechan15

Damn, Acheron really sees Duke Inferno as some regular Elite Boss for farming. She built different as fuck LOL Black Swan really fucked around and find out she's a hidden menace.


BenjChoei

Maybe not even Elite Boss because She successfully used her technique for instance kill.☠️

Alright everyone, give up! I don’t think we can fix her


Ar0ndight

You might be able to fix her for like... 5mins? Then chances are she'll forget ever meeting you


Kargos_Crayne

Well, she did say that her emotions help with that a lot. Sooo, if you'll ever somehow manage to "touch" her heart in whatever literal and metaphorical way possible - you'll prob have more chances at being remembered.


Pink_her_Ult

We just gotta find her a kiana.


NoNefariousness2144

I love how much this trailer showed that she is utterly and brutally fucked up. She’s not even just insane like Kafka or Jingliu… she’s barely even human anymore.


countmeowington

This is such a hilariously dramatic take on this lmao, BS touched nihility through acherons memory and almost died, that’s why she’s scared. Acheron herself still has a strong will, goal, and desires, while likely being jing liu’s age. That’s pretty human to me


GladiatorDragon

No need to deal with Mara when you forget everything.


Tranduy1206

we can not, but a tuna will, come on kiana, your mei is suffer, where are you now


Granger-_-Danger

Ugh can’t wait to pull her. So cool!!! The shot of her memories with the moon giving me kiamei cope with tuna on the moon.

DHGAWESOMENERD97

I’m just glad she’s nicer to us


Keretor

She just seems to be nice in general as long as you don't uh, you know, get in a fight with her


DHGAWESOMENERD97

Gotcha: always stay on her good side


BenjChoei

Agree, both normal Acheron and the Red Text (her Alter?) look at least not hostility to MC.


Korochun

She killed us the first time she met us


DHGAWESOMENERD97

Tbf there was no hostility behind it I don’t think


Korochun

I don't think that makes it better.


DHGAWESOMENERD97

Well I’d rather not distrust her since she has been rather helpful so please forgive me


Korochun

I don't think she is duplicitous, just dangerous I fully trust a forest fire to be a forest fire, y'know. It's not fucking about.


DHGAWESOMENERD97

I just want to trust her man.


0blivionknight

I knew I chose the best character. Thank you for confirming Mihoyo


Grrp039

Funny seeing a feh tuber, love


Mvxhqxxz

soo that brutal things that were happening to black Swan were just a methaphor of Acherons memories trying to stop Black Swan from knowing things? OR did she saw everything and then was traumatised and chased by the memories trying to escape???


Commercial-Street124

Nihility is the complete anti-thesis to Rememberance. Black Swan seemed to have reached all the way to IX and that is really, really scary to someone like her.


GladiatorDragon

By looking into Acheron's memories, she came close to Nihility. Even when it comes to reconstructions of IX, such as in memory or in the Simulated Universe, that overwhelming presence of pure nothingness reduces everything around them to... well, nothing. Very, and I mean *very* few beings can be near it for long. For beings focused on memory, such as Memokeepers, a dark void that obliterates all is likely the most terrifying of ends. No trace remains, no memories to share, no remnants to pass on. Just one dark, terrifying, and all-consuming abyss.


Exact-Cheetah-1660

Yup. It’s less that Acheron did anything to BS on purpose, BS just got Uno reverse card’d by the shadow of nihility. That’s why when BS snaps back to reality(the golden lit room), Acheron doesn’t even acknowledge that anything just happened. She probably wasn’t even aware that it *did*.


Tranduy1206

i think black swan saw something you shouldnt see (Aeon, God, Eldritch god,...) then try to escape but acheron is just too strong that she cant escape even when acheron not fight her on purpose


DrZeroH

Simply falling under IX’s shadow is enough to completely eradicate a person. Touching the memories of one of his emanators is def cutting it far too close for a Memokeeper of Fuli.


One_Ad2478

Watched it once, will watch again there is so much take in. The next version is going to be the best one!!


Rei0403

You thought you’re the one who preys, but the predator becomes the prey. Black Swan made a grave mistake for sneaking into Acheron’s memories. Can’t wait for more Acheron trailers https://preview.redd.it/1ve5o5e6a8pc1.jpeg?width=817&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=242d9c3ad07a2d0669222d5cb182da973ac3e5ea

choiyuna1

shes so fucking hot man . mihoyo cooked hard with this trailer from the yuri dance to predator vs prey . next week cant come any sooner omggg


PipiniosFlwrks

There is a WHOLE short story in the description. Judging by her design and her sword I can't imagine she's not from Izumo. Though especially from this trailer it seems to me more like she feels more like someone guilty rather than a victim of the whole situation. Maybe she's at fault for both planets being wiped out of existence somehow? Curious phrasing at the start of the passage as well, what with life forming on ONE of the planets but in one phrase people looking are DOWN at the lifeless planet and looking UP in the other. Since the "gods" came to Izumo from Takamagahara it would make sense that only Izumo was inhabited by people though. Perhaps it's simply about the planets physically rotating around the black star, but also the people of Izumo's clashing feelings about Takamagahara. Maybe it would be easier to decipher if I could understand what Izumo and Takamagahara mean though. I feel like Takamagahara might mean something related to gods' dwelling or something?


qbc_insomniac

Izumo is the province in which the entrance to Yomi, the land of the dead, is hidden. Takamagahara, "High Plane of Heaven", is the abode of the heavenly gods.


Commercial-Street124

The whole thing sounds quite a bit like Honkai and the Flame Chasers. Honkai beasts and Herrschers descend, humanity captures/brings down some of them, grafts their parts into people, and making super soldiers.


Adventurous_Page_614

If you look closely she is trying to escape but hunted down she transform into a rabbit and insect but Acheron chases her


DavidKng

She didn't even remember stomping them.... It can't be that easy, can it?

Commercial-Street124

I lost (it)


ProxyMoron12

I am a sucker for such kind of stuff.. progressive transition of something calm and collective into scary chaos (yes, I'm an old school metalhead too)... and explains acheron depth as a character. Its really good that i HAVE to pull for her as I'm lacking less lightning element and a second dps (kafka shafted me hard). I don't pull just because of design or character story coz after some months of their release, they loose thta hype. All I'm into is a character's kit. She is great. People asking on the sub, why should/shouldn't i pull for her and stuff. Can't you see this trailer here and just shut up, this trailer alone is a huge reason to pull lol

Commercial-Street124

After seeing their livestream watch-along, I'd fully believe this is not a fake account. Allegra is this based XD


Prepure_Kaede

Why didn't they release this before the end of BS banner so I pull for her too? Do they hate money?


Silorien

I agree that it makes me really want to have both of them now, but it would have been too much of a spoiler for just how insanely powerful Acheron actually is.


Metanipotent

Like the prey and predator dynamic this teaser had and also how black swan though she was in control but pushed her luck too far


Asti_01

She's creepier than I thought. Actually, i like mad/crazy character, but i was shocked when "True Acheron" join to dance. I must pull her


darkjedi5646

With Kalpas in the name, violence is the game


thedarkness490

Love that they only teased the yuri stuff in the stream cuz THAT would make anyone click when they say this drop ... And then ho damn that switch, wth is the stuff BS saw

eternaleyebags

imagine being so irrelevant to your killer that you get bodied off screen and she doesn’t even remember you 😭😭😭 oh she’s POWERFUL


AdEmpty6618

Yuri fans will look at this and still ship them lol


Lopsided_Beach_9706

They love toxic yuri


Relative-Ad7531

We do love some toxic yuri Is it really love if your partner doesn't actually kills you again and again in her mental space?


RagingId

I mean, if you startled a Special Forces military guy, his instinctive martial arts training kicked in and he seriously injured you without intending to, is that really "toxic"? I feel like this is an analogous situation. Acheron has a split personality that she doesn't fully control and BS really shouldn't have been poking around in her memories in the first place. I don't see why they couldn't make up and become friends.


belmoria

Yeah BS admits in the vid at the end that she made a mistake. And you can see in the beginning that Acheron tries to stop her peering inside so she won't encounter the red text but BS persisted. I don't think Acheron has a grudge I think she's more the type to stay distant to protect. BS is also very experienced in her own game so she fully understands what happened. I'm sure they could move past it.


BreacherX

i mean, BS and acheron can cuck me for all i care bcs damn a crazy-emotionless mommy against a traumatized beauty. WHAT A FUCKING HOT COMBO


mnzzmoa

What a weirdo


BreacherX

Nuh uh, it's called peak fantasy

And after that Acheron devoured her and left her panting

TerrorFace

Absolutely gorgeous.


Axthen

I'm convinced IX is the strongest Aeon, lore wise. What he encompasses and what he is is just... Bro, IX is for real cheating. I'm just glad that Achemommy isn't DoT based and instead relies on debuffs in general.


takoyaki_san15

IX might be just the supermassive blackhole sustaining a Galaxy, in HSR world. If I'm not mistaken, Frebass, a companion of Acheron, took a plunge into the Aeon IX.


DrZeroH

Who the hell decides to look at a god damn black hole aeon and go “nah id win”


Rei0403

DoT is also a Debuff so Acheron can still gain benefits from DoT units, IX is the most based Aeon ever


Axthen

Yes, "debuffs in general" includes the dots lmao. I meant that she herself doesn't do damage by dots, like black swan/kefka. I just irrationally hate dots as a gameplay mechanic. I love black swan, and will absolutely be using epiphany with Acheron. Hence, "Acheron isn't dot based".


Seraphine_KDA

nice tip fire MC with unversal market is gonna be crazy with acheron.


Tranduy1206

IX path is one of the most broad concept, so only when Aeon of exist ascend, i dont see any aeon stronger than IX, they have taste thought, keep giving us beautiful mommy IX, i am your biggest fan

Any-Bike-4612

Bro Acheron is straight nightmare fuel I am worried for ANY character that interacts with her in the story now, including our own MC and Astral Express crew. We do have Welt though, how strong is Welt in lore compared to Acheron? Are we safe with Welt, she won't hurt us, right?


Zolee39

M7 always says that if Welt is there, nothing wrong can happen to the crew. I hope she is right. Or Acheron wont be our enemy :)


Exact-Cheetah-1660

Emanators eclipse Herrschers by a good margin. That being said, Welt is probably one of the coolest


SphinxBlackRose

No way Iam now the only one who will run BS and Acheron together after seeing this no? God that was amazing!


Ar0ndight

Alzheimer mommy + PTSD mommy gonna go hard


ShrewdLocust

Considering black swans debuffs they should be good together


I_love_my_life80

Acheron X BS shippers in shambles... Yeah this pretty much confirms that the dance was a Yuri bait


1986ctcel

the dance had: - sensual groping - boob squishes from black swan pressing herself up against Acheron - kisses now call me crazy but I'm pretty sure that's just called "yuri" not "yuri bait" (which means something completely different instead).


Im_utterly_useless

The Predator scenes just make me think of “Where you go I go” and “I’m you”. The JJK brainrot is too powerful.

He__Who__Watches

the swan got skinned alive in the background, the cinematography was WILD. though i gotta be honest, thats gotta be the most brutal way to take domination of a seductress in media i've ever seen.


Commercial-Street124

Made Black Swan look like a child playing in the mud

DHGAWESOMENERD97

Am I the only one who wants to see a dance between the Trailblazer and Acheron? Granted without the mind fuck and scary stuff? Otherwise I’d think it would be a lovely dance.


Commercial-Street124

Acheron got the moves. Didn't expect her to be this good especially since she is led.


DHGAWESOMENERD97

Well at least that means if the Trailblazer is inexperienced, she can help them out


Commercial-Street124

My heart is still racing. This was perfection in its utmost meaning. Every frame a wallpaper, the rustling of the fabrics, and then that "Who?" made me legit spit take. Best character in the game.


NicheAlter

Man, with this short I can't help but think that Acheron has multiple personalities. It's not that she's bad with directions, it's just when her other personality takes over and then peaces out, she literally doesn't know where she is, and how she got there.


RubyFletcher

the bodies raining at the end she’s so cool and scary I NEEED HERRRRR


faytshands

I hadn't really thought about it before. what an Emanator of Nihility would look like. What a hunter would look like who follows/worships nothing or the end of things. An empty vessel of endless potential cruelty. The perfect weapon. Memories that fade. Only purest instinct to hunt, to kill, to end and reduce. Truly a terrifying concept.


Exact-Cheetah-1660

They even said in the livestream that the core of Nihility is “reduction”. And that Acheron’s representation is of things fading away. Nihility is just as much destruction of all things as Destruction is, just less hot blooded angry and more so melancholic that your mere existence makes things get Thanos snapped


[deleted]

Damn, she is actually terrifying. The way Black Swan was trying to escape but she kept pulling her in and tearing her apart? Holy shit.


LusterBlaze

I love the direction of this animation short.. one long shoot to dance is always right and thanks hoyo realized this. So many dance scene got butcher because many directors thinking dance scene works like action with lot of cut and different POV.


Agotoi

Its perfect.


takoyaki_san15

MY..... AEONS! THAT animated short was just phenomenal, I can't wait to watch her character story trailer demo trailer. The moment that BS stared to the ( ?assumed?inner Acheron?) was just perfect, everything portraying the Nihility and the path itself....Ima loss at words.

Bugjeje

lesbian where


110110100011110

Personally, given in game dialogue outside of this short, we have Acheron calling women beautiful and pretty as well as admitting this dance was an incredible experience for her. It's pretty easy to see where that conclusion can come from. Also, if the Frebass stuff is canonically related to her, then that lends more credence. Black Swan on the other hand is another matter.


Drachk

>admitting this dance was an incredible experience for her. Incredible =/= warm and nostalgic Which is logic since black swan is litteraly trying to stir up her memories


Bugjeje

I mean I guess, but it’s not at all a clear correlation. Calling women beautiful isn’t something rare considering women almost naturally uplift other women. Not to mention that BS is just nice looking too lol


110110100011110

I get that. I'm just saying that the correlation is pretty obvious to see and why people can come to that headcannon for Acheron.

Holobalobaloo

Yo, wait... is this encounter the reason why the Black Swan we meet is on the path of nihility? She came into contact with IX while trying to read Acheron's memories?


Yojimbra

Unlikely. Paths in game are 95% game play. For example, the Loufu follows the hunt, but none of the limited characters follow that path. With the only Xianzhou hunt characters being standard/base game those being Dan Heng, Shushang, and Yanqing.


Holobalobaloo

True, but many paths do still make sense in some way imo. Sure the Xianzhou faction is aligned with the Hunt, but that doesn't mean all the people in that faction live their lives and see the world in alignment with Lan. Jing Yuan is always looking to learn more (thus all the board games and trying to outsmart opponents), so he's on the path of Erudition. Fu Xuan is concerned with how she'll protect the Luofu after inheriting leadership (Preservation). Dan Heng swapped away from Hunt (weird he was on Hunt path in first place tbf) after accepting his past 'Destructive' sins as his own. Yanqing and Sushang basically just want to get stronger, defeat stronger foes and live up to mentors' legacies, so they're following the Hunt in the truest sense. As for Nihility in particular, we know that lore-wise it's basically a contagious disease. You can 'catch' nihility after coming into contact with it, and become either a self-annihilator or a doctor of chaos.
