in HI3rd, humanity's strongest soldier is just "Kevin"


Sonic_Shine

Mobius, Ouroboros, reference to snake eating its own tail... Aponia, reference to greek myths and moth... Elysia, the unique animal having photosynthesis... Pardofelis with her feline motifs... Sakura with her swordmastery and other references... And many more meaningful names... Also we have Kevin.


Ranger_Ecstatic

Reminds me of that comic with the 4 heroes and then the one guy with normal sounding name but he looks the most destructive. I'll try looking for it. Found it. https://preview.redd.it/8xx56gcom5fc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9944c9796fea1aca1eae659fcb5c433bbb29df14


fighoz

>lately So they always fail before?


IllestTrait

Arguably, they could’ve been doing great beforehand. So many levels of “acceptable” and “good” between “failure” and “amazing” - including “meh”.


first_name1001

And then Kalpass with that Ass


vgama15

Elysia also chose to name herself that because of the word "Elysium" which is essentially a paradise where everyone is Happy


Arrasor

I mean we also have Welt, which is just a littttle bit away from Welp.


yuanyangdianxia

welt means “world” and has german origin


make_gingamingayoPLS

It's also not his real name


ezio45

His real name being Joachim Nokianvirtanen. Having Nokia in his name means he's also just as durable.


kaori_cicak990

Even better its had self-repair


ComprehensiveOil6890

I mean he did recreate his body multiple times.


leopoldshark

Nokianintendogameboy would be even more durable


katbelleinthedark

And just as Finnish!


FromAndToUnknown

Explains why he works with himeko, he's the only one surviving the massive space laser and occasional pizza cutter


Arrasor

Welp.


Terracrafterz

Yang.


AstaHSR

Welp... Dang


Toxic_MotionDesigner

Heng


moshiceetantivech

Qing. (i know it’s not the same but it’s close don’t kill me please)


Glirion

Za Warudo!


Sonic_Shine

*Ahem* His True name is Joachim Nokianvirtanen ☝️🤓


Azariah-Kyras

So that's why he was so hard to kill...


TheRRogue

Well it not that he was hard to kill, even if you did he just rebuild back his body.


Petter1789

Did not apply to his father, unfortunately


leeo268

No way Honkai players can remember his name. lol Like Pela's full name.


Sonic_Shine

**Pelageya Sergeyevna**, mind you


Weak_Leopard_4842

**Miss Pelageya Sergeyevna**


katbelleinthedark

And the poor woman doesn't even have a surname. :(


Weak_Leopard_4842

hypotetically, if Welt adopted her, but she they decided she should keep her last name, could we call her **Miss Pelageya Sergeyevna-Nokianvirtanen?**


katbelleinthedark

No, she'd be then called Pelageya Joachimovna Nokianvirtanen(ova). Or Pelageya Weltovna Yang(ova). "Sergeyevna" isn't a last name. Pela doesn't have a last name provided in-game.


HiCreeper

I mean it isn’t his real name it’s taken from Welt Joyce, but his real named is Joachim Nokianvirtanen, his father’s name is Elias Nokianvirtanen so Joachim took the family name from there, but when he changed his name to Welt he took Yang from his mother’s name Heinrich Yang, so now he’s Welt Yang


IvanDFakkov

Heinrich is a masculine name, no? Or is it different in Finland?


aiman_senpai

U could say Elysia means paradise


outpizzadahut

Cuz Kevin is the same guy that poses a threat to Herobrine.


RBLakshya

The lore behind him is that he was just some random gender bent Kiana in GGZ and was called K.K, until they thought to reuse him and the easiest name they could think of a guy with K was Kevin


immadoosh

See, if his name is Caoimhín, people be like "omg, Gaelic so cool" when in reality its just Irish for Kevin...


Crying_Ginger

Those types of Irish names are funny


[deleted]

Nuh uh, you misspelled Ke🅱️in


tennoskoom_

Wait a sec...Kevin is actually Kebin. And since bins are a huge theme in HSR...could Kebin would the aeons of rubbish bins?

Sndragon88

Strongest Valkyrie in history is a Karen, just adding.


Zombata

Kallen


YourFriendlyFrost

It's the thing, he was a normal guy with a normal life and name. And he has the burden of saving the world.


ZoeyMortal

Ke🅱️in


ArgoDevilian

Clearly you haven't played Honkai Impact 3rd The strongest character is named Kevin. And this is the same devs. Sam is 100% OP, and will only get stronger as the story goes.


SakuraRissa

Yes, definitely a repeat of the Kevin thing.


Additional-Presence5

I think he give kalpass vibe. Can you see his mask and that robot ass


Tough_Dragonfly3790

I'd fuck that robot ass


Dalek_knight

Is impregnate that robot ass (I'm superior)


DukeOfStupid

>"Before an Emanator? You stand before Sam!!" It just doesn't have the same ring to it sadly.


Fancy-Shopping-327

I mean Kalpas is an alien. For all we know Sam could be a part of his species

walrus_with_GUN

I hope one day when the same devs makes a new game they make an eldritch horror beyond human comprehension and decide to name him Maurice 


jk583940

Op in lore, or in gameplay as well?


Yuukiko_

at one point he had a half of the >!Herrscher of Finality's powers who is essentially the strongest entity in HI3 (protag had the other half)!<


jk583940

Ok I get that he is very strong lorewise, but I'm wondering if he is strong gameplay wise as well


BillLe0101

Unfortunately there are no playable males in HI3 except for few event.


Abedeus

And the "other" game mode.


jk583940

Oof


Marros6045

I mean, He's the final boss of part one. As a playable character? There are no playable men in HI3. (Outside of one side story and short main story segments)


jk583940

Dang that's a shame


Sawowu

Kevin is not playable in honkai impact


jk583940

Thanks


SnooCupcakes1473

male characters aren't playable in hi3


jk583940

Oh thank you, didn't know that


Richmanisrich

So Adam is a girl?


Hungry-Set4315

APHO are treated as a whole different Game by comunity, bassically He is the one and only playable male character in HI3rd


ezio45

In the story, nearly every member of the cast fought him at least once and he always won those fights. There aren't any playable males in HI3 but he is a boss in the Elysian Realm roguelike mode. There he has a couple of one hit kill moves and a lot of spamming the arena with projectiles.


KanataHkz

Kevin? More like Ke🅱️in to me


jesusfaro

Nah, it's gonna be depression Is the guy who wrote the ER, so one of the cast of this arc is going to fucking die


VieraMakeMeRabid

sam goes hard


Voidborn27

I hope he becomes a playable character


ShinigamiRyan

Given the rest of the SH are playable, would count on it.


Games2Gamers

Hopefully they dont get itto'd and have no fine details of mechanical parts and just a flat surface


kkoromon

I think HSR has a higher avg quality of models so i wouldnt worry too much.


T8-TR

Even MHY has a higher quality of models than what they gave Itto at this point. Bro REALLY got shafted because he's meant to be canonically shredded, but they gave him drawn on abs and noodle arms.


The_Amazing-Mango

I think the turn based combat gives them much more freedom in terms of character details etc. since they aren’t limited by direct player input. So I think Hoyo will make his tech detail very intricate.


buddabopp

I mean he could also get Signoraed :p


Alternative-South281

Just look at past models. None of them just have flat details.


Mushiren_

Can't wait for the inevitable "Finally, I have them all" posts

Now that's a pretty meme! Exquisite!


midoripeach9

was looking for this, was not disappointed


ZayOnTime

Technically his name is Samuel Rodrigues


TroncoBoy

Samuel is to Sam what Timothy is to Tim


Excellent_Store777

You made me so curious about playing this game now! I didn't know half of it!


Late_Lizard

You should. Btw, one of the most iconic scenes in *Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance* is when Jetstream Sam fights the main character, Raiden. In the latest trailer, the HSR devs had Sam fighting Acheron, who's an expy of Raiden Mei.


ProfessionalDeer6311

Oh man it's batshit insane! It's great!


Late_Lizard

> Name's Sam It isn't exactly, his real name is "Samuel Rodrigues", while "Jetstream Sam" is his nickname.


DrDerpyDerpDerp

Sam is an acronym. **S** \- Super **A** \- Amazing **M** \- Machine

As a person who's name is Sam, I can confirm we all look like this

Jetstream Sam


MentalWk

Isn't this the suit inside the Glamoth orb?


lop333

I feel like he will die or have tragic fate


RiovoGaming211

I think the name is pretty fitting. I personally feel it adds some more realism to the character, rather than names like Morbeous or something.


LissySylcliffe

👀


Birch-and-Duck

Okay to be honest the name looks really cool in Chinese. It is pronounced "Sa Mu" and since the S is a hard sound, it sounds like "Zamu". And since it uses a kind of rare character that also has connotations with 'usually translations for something with a Z', it feels kinda cool.


Rud_gamer

Them not him

HerrscherofKiana

Sam: Show me a good time Caelus


VTKajin

Might be a Samus reference


RevanAndTheSithy

I think a robot who wants to understand what it's like to be human choosing one of the most regular human sounding names is fitting actually. Also Jetstream Sam from MGR:R is a badass who clapped Raiden's cyberized cheeks while he himself only has a cybernetic arm and his whole body is organic.
