So what is this? Is this... The dancing one? No [The remembrance is no different than the sea] ahhh [never gaze upon its surface on a starless night] I love the rememberance. Fuli is one of my favorite Aeons. Fuli and um IX or nine whatever his name is Hi :D [waiting for someone] her eyes are so pretty Acheron's are too, by the way. [then how about a dance?] it is the dancing one! Oh my goodness awe [my gaze has lingered on her for quite a while] yeah we saw this in the thing [and tonight I init
iate our first engagement] it was a little different though [ a galaxy ranger as mysterious as the rumors suggest] [a blend of nobility and reticence] oh my gosh they're both really good dancers [yet, in this nocturnal hunt] [the ranger is not the only one who hunts] [at this distance, you're more enchanting than you seem] oh my gosh...what posessed them to do this [without a doubt] [she seeks the watchmaker's legacy] yes, everyone does [ in this game, everyone lies] [but memories do not] oh my
gosh I feel like some of the lines from the trailers have been taken directly from this [it just keeps on getting better, doesn't it?] [everyone has a past] awe its beautiful! [and the past shapes the present] I have to look at these carefully, these images [some people hold onto memories, others are haunted by them] I'm sure there's some references to raiden here [while I took action] [I want to know what she is] I think all of us do right now cause like, saying she's raiden mei is one thing [m
any are drawn to this feast] but [the IPC, the garden of recollection, fools] understanding how... [the nameless] that's another [the annihilation gang. they should have been present, but...] [duke inferno is dead] mhm [he and his children won't be attending] well one of his children might, who knows? [what have you done, beautiful ranger?] beautiful ranger...oh? the red [excuse me...are you asking me?] oh? tides are turning what is she doing? black feathers for a black swan? one thing that I ca
n see very clearly about Acheron is that she is destructive she's probably one of the most destructive characters we've seen so far and we have freaking sparkle and blade hooooolyyyy crap a featherless swan...is black swan gonna die? [unintelligible] black hole uhhhh black swan aint doin so hot a shift in control, I see [who are the annihilation gang?] I know what's going on here. I think I do I think I do. Is that the end? No. ok [my gaze has lingered on her for quite a while] [and tonight] oka
y [is our final engagement] [the galaxy ranger....no...I've made a grave mistake] once again the theatre in the background. that place is gonna be that place is gonna be important I think Looks like a tombstone in the shadow there. [everyone has a past] yeah [but for some, their past is a silent abyss, filled with those who drowned in it] oh my gosh... that imagery is so incredibly dark [annihilation gang...] [annihilation gang...] [oh. those guys.] *laughs* how do they do this every single time
. ok so as we always do I'm going to go through it again and give some observations so stick around cause I'm gonna look at some details now [never gaze upon its surface on a starless night] so this seems to be blood. it's a red liquid obviously. black swan. her design is amazing. I want to say it real quick, I love her like, the stained glass motif the colors are just so beautiful I love those colors together it's part of my ch- like except that like my channel doesn't have as much blue on it b
ut that is my channel color scheme other than the blue [waiting for someone?] mmmmm seriously love acheron, she's amazing [then...] I wish I could cosplay her, I am not comfortable showing that much skin but oh my goodness, her design is incredible. I'm paying, like really close attention to details. Is there anyone in the background that I need to like keep an eye on no no one stands out, it's all gauzy and blurred [a galaxy ranger, as mysterious as the rumors suggest] why...why...hoyo why [in
this eternal hunt] they're so graceful. and... [the ranger isn't the only one who hunts] I don't generally ship characters [at this distance] this is not a ship I would've thought of [you're more enchanting] [than you seem] but they're like perfectly matched, you know? they've got even like the same color scheme. I still don't know if I ship them [without a doubt] [she seeks the watchmaker's legacy] but I see it. I do. [but memories do not] I want to catch the images on the floor here, I want to
see what these are [everyone ] so I see it's a girl you see like the shape of a girl here and she's holding flowers and that's acheron in the background it seems the hairstyle and silhouette of the girl does not look familiar [has a past] my gut instinct is Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd cause I know they are very intimately connected but it does not have any of like kiana's key design things ok acheron, man with gun, that's once again probably a reference to honkai impact 3rd I know that they're
trying to make this a standalone thing, so it's not that like you have to know the others I don't think they're ever going to star relying heavily on Honkai impact 3rd lore and so I think these are just more easter eggs than anything that's going to be important in the future Ok...acheron again in her umbrella uh someone in a hat [duke inferno is dead, he and his children will not be attending] I feel like we might see one of duke inferno's kids here because he like sent them out to different p
lanets [what have you done] duke inferno there. duke inferno again. duke inferno's monacle and then her in her ultimate form [are you asking me?] and then we see a complete power shift so what we saw in the livestream is basically that acheron's memories are linked to her sword, and I talked about in the livestream how this lines up with the theory of her also being raiden shogun because the raiden shogun's essence, even though raiden shogun made a puppet Ei's essence is actually in the sword th
at the Raiden Shogun holds, not in the puppet herself so acheron either being also a puppet and the sword is linked to her just a little more tentatively than it was for Ei or that raiden mei's memories are literally stored in the sword, once again freaking emalore but the moment that acheron draws her sword, those memories start to surface again and she becomes a lot more destructive the sword being, staying in its sheath 90% of the time is for everyone's protection, because this is what she be
comes, this red and white and black version of herself when it gets unsheathed and it is extremely dangerous she's...freaking...terrifying and black swan is terrified we're seeing acheron ripping out feathers there's a snake! ok ok missed that on first viewing so acheron has a reason to not like black swan is what Im seeing snake...snake bite...a wing... feathers...thats a thats a swan so they're using some overlaying some imagery here to kind of show what's happening without showing the true gr
uesomeness of it although... eh the impressionism gets the point across a BIT too well in my opinion so acheron is a snake...is basically in this imagery, its a snake and a swan fighting is what's going on so the swan... is losing this fight. But they're comparing acheron to a snake strangling. you see the snake is strangling the swan here, oh my goodness that is gruesome...you see a snake eye. yes ok what is going on here...uh that's a swan skull that's what's going on here. yeah they're just b
asically showing images of a s- of the bird getting torn apart in various various ways its just hunter and prey is what they're going for I think you've got a cheetah and a gazelle, a bear and a rabbit shark and fish, spider and fly, butterfly...black swan that is black swan, you can kinda see from the that is that's her hand design and she's getting pulled into Acheron's black hole...and she's gone ok so I'm gonna have to explain what I think is going on here [who are...the annihilation gang?]
ok there is a theory that Acheron is an emenator of finality and that was something that was mentioned by aventurine and a couple others that is not like completely confirmed but it is...it's got some legs the interesting thing about the Aeon of finality is that it was born during the end of all things and is moving backwards through time, and so the thought that Acheron is possibly kind of a slave to the same thing? she is moving backwards through time, means that when black swan is doing this
dance, black swan is meeting her for the first time, but acheron has already lived through a bunch of stuff with Black Swan so its possible that when we're seeing the snake and the swan battling each other, what black swan is seeing in that moment is actually acheron's memories of what happens in the future that acheron has already lived through to get to the point that she is at now. And so when Acheron is saying "who's the annihilation gang?" acheron has up to this point in her experience, liv
ed through a world that does not have the annihilation gang in it because she destroyed it in her future, everyone else's past. And so when Black Swan says this [my gaze has lingered on her for quite a while, and tonight is our final engagement] Black Swan is now speaking kind of to step into Acheron's perspective and speak to Acheron I wanna take a look at the buildings around here. The theatre is going to be important I firmly believe that so we'll see how that goes we'll see how that goes but
[the galaxy ranger...no...I've made a grave mistake] yep. you have, black swan. [everyone has a past. But for some, the past is a silent abyss, filled with those who drowned in it] mhm [annihilation gang...annihilation gang...] [oh. those guys.] so now she's like "oh well I guess I'm gonna, I guess I'm gonna go fight them now] oh my goodness I don't know how they do it and I also have n- I I'm speechless I've gotta go edit this now *laughs* hopefully I can get this out before I pass out tonight
guys, thank you so much for watching I will have a video on the watchmaker up later this week, so please stay tuned for that Until next time: Stay Safe, Stay Kind, thank you very much for watching :)

@IAmEmaVods

Sorry for the loud video audio, btw. I'm horrible at balancing my sound levels XD

@gedemartha9534

Mission failed, we can't fix her

@hannahtgp9421

I went from oooooh sesbian lex to oooooooh nooooooooo ah shit

@jessicabowman7169

I got the impression when the song / scene shifts and we see the Other Acheron, that other Acheron is the " real" Acheron maybe and she starts attacking Black Swan as a " B****, get outta my head " at least that was my impression lol :p

@skyeagain5174

If I recall correctly, I think Acheron fondly remembers the dance, and Black Swan doesn't seem too uncomfortable around her, despite the fact that the dance was before the Nameless arrived at Penacony. I think she's just decided to not dive into that abyss again.

@GabrielMichaelDels

😶Boy. That escalated quickly. Like, dafuq!?

@hannahtgp9421

Can’t wait for the new theory vid

@novatm13

The theory that was floating in my head regarding the moment when the video turns - an empty void with 3 Duke Infernos followed by Acheron with the unsheathed blade. She does not have true memories, just fragments of her actions when the blade is unsheathed. The blade/the other self remembers the slashes it took to kill Duke, nothing else hence the lack of environment in this memory fragment that Black Swan saw. The thing Black Swan said in the end also supports this: a silent abyss filled with those who drowned in it. Only memory fragments of her kills. I still believe shes an Emanator of Nihility, whether by circumstance or by choice.

@Miandey

How do they do this_every_single_time?! <-- my thoughts exactly ^^

@Shin-gn7ng

1:18 no one possessed them, if it was pre-censorship days then there’d have not just been a lot more of this but also have gone farther than just “implied”

@tuguldurdesu7274

Cosplay pls😭🙏🙏
