What were your thoughts on sam as firefly? 🪰

In Shakespear's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" Titania is the name of the Queen of Fairies, which is where the namesake of Titania the Empress comes from here. You should also take a look at Firefly's dress, which has definitive fairy wing patterns on it, and also watch the White Knight trailer again, where Sam is shown flying after Acheron using green magical fairy wings coming out of the suit of armor. Firefly being Titania is also the only reasonable explanation for what we see in 2.0, where the suit of armor is walking with her. Titania was created by the council for the sole purpose of leading the Iron Cavalry to victory by controlling them, and her being an artificially made human of some kind, a "living weapon", is probably the cause of her Entropy Loss Syndrome.

the fact that firefly fought in the swarm invasion that ravaged 2/3 of the universe and managed to secure a win for sometime is proof shes top tier fighter

If Firefly is the Empress Titania than her Fans can actually say... "At your service my Queen."

The Swarm Disaster was one of the craziest things to ever happen in the history of the Honkai Universe. It was so huge that they could have made a game solely based on this event. Tayzzyronth The Propogation almost destroyed 2/3 of the Habitable Universe and a number of Aeons on its own. Tho its not specified which Aeons killed Tayzzyronth, i think it would have been almost impossible without The Equilibrium stepping in. I honestly hope we get more info on the Swarm Disaster with Sam's release.

If firefly is Titania, and she can control Sam remotely, it'd explain Firefly's comment about being able to "Leave the cold medical cabnit" and move with "her own body."

SAM aka the Silver Armoured Maiden. 😊

It's possible that she miiight actually be Titania, during Sam's boss battle you can read the description that says that they are the last survivors of Glamoth. Also doesn't it sound funny that Glamoth could be interpreted as "Moth" being guided by "Fire"fly like a moth to the flame(fire)? An Empress guiding Gla"moth" with "fire"fly to their goals? 😏

Fun fact: the debris in our space is even scarier than you say. Some of the things flying around is going so fast, it’s actually dangerous and can destroy other objects. If anymore debris gets into our space, it could potentially trap us on earth keeping us from exploring space.

Not that it hasn’t been done before but the samus esque reveal that firefly is sam is SUCH a good trope and idc what anyone says its AWESOME

There's this game where a planet make an army of cute girls to fight a never ending swarm of monsters called Honkai Impact 3rd, maybe they got inspiration there to make Firefly 🤣

This just makes me more curious about Elio. I don't recall anything about his background revealed up till now but it's damn impressive he could persuade someone on the level of Sam to join him. One theory that kinda make sense is if he in some way or form related to finality, whether a pathstrider or emanator since he writes stuff like it already happened and just need to hire actors for his film production. We can assume the ending of the film is satisfactory for him but by that we don't know is it a good ending or bad ending. He could be like Cid Kagenou who maxed out his luck on things conveniently follow what he wanted as the best outcome (for him, personally).

Am I crazy knowing our Cute Firefly is a Ruthless Fighter and I am smiling right now. 😁

I like this maybe shes like iron man cam wear her suits she can control or just operate them remotely

So what im getting at is Firefly/Sam in a black and white world she'd could end the problem easily. But put her in a morally grey situation and now Firefly/Sam struggles on what to do.

Are we just going to ignore the sight of those weird lines on her face, looks like Honkai energy to me, similar enough. Also, the Iron Cavalry seems to be Glamoth's version of MANTIS: Massively Augmented Neo Tech Integrated Soldiers, I mean Honkai is in the name, so it was bound to pop up eventually. My contribution to the Firefly theory crafting.

The swarm is not weak to fire, that’s why they’ve lost

Firefly: Silly me , i killed thousands of thousands of people

I think Elio sent Sam to Stelle/Caelus to grow in some way.

fantastic video also didn't know that about out own atmosphere kinda scary

my ruthless machine of mass destruction cant be this cute!

Firefly: The Power Ranger of HSR

Hey I was wondering, do you think Sam/Firefly will be a fire or wind character? On first glance you would guess fire since that is the element Sam uses in the fight. I however think she will become wind as part of her character growth. The main reason I think that can be found in the Penacony trailer. You don’t see her use fire in that trailer but rather the tech from her suit that makes her fly.

Idk to me it seems like Firefly has a dissociative identity disorder. Firefly: "I love their Oak Cake Rolls! I get one from here every day!" Sam: "You should really stop playing with your food Kafka!" Firefly: "I can be a little bit camera-shy - just don't laugh at me." Sam: "I will... set the seas ablaze. Once you're back in the real world, remember to tell everyone about the Stellaron Hunter who was behind your ultimate departure."

Sam and firefly being SamUS is a hilariously spot on comparison

Thanks for this video. Indeed a layered and interesting character to have in the roster

Sam and Kafka were the ones to get Blade to join the stellaron hunters but well Sam did the fighting and Kafka used spirit whisper talking to him

correct me if im wrong: SAM means Swarm Annihilation Machine?

honestly these videos are my therapy. i'm a newer player that binged the main story of 2.0 and 2.1 in the past few days and I have so much whiplash on firefly it's making my head spin. I was instantly in love with her like many others apparently were. Going from watching her die to seeing her revealed to be stellaron hunter Sam left me in a very weird mental state.

Are you telling me this adorable girl is a helldiver in space?

You are here after seeing firefly backstory animation

What I don't understand is how nobody wants to address the memory we saw before Firefly was "killed" by the meme. She was talking to Mecca and even arguing with it. Who was that Mecca? And why Firefly wasn't wearing a disguise as "Sam" during that period? Here are some questions that need answering: 1. Stellaron Hunters were invited to the festival. Why did Firefly appear as herself in Golden Hour without a suit? We know she can't use a Dreampool because she doesn't have a physical body? Why did she deliberately break the rule by becoming a stowaway? 2. Can Firefly easily transport her consciousness beyond veil, why it was necessary then to sacrifice herself to the meme? 3. Who was another Mecca? During Trailblazer meeting with Firefly there was a report of a person in silver armour spotted in the Dreamscape. Was that also Firefly? 4. Why was Sparkle so adamant to prevent Trailblazer from spending any time with Firefly? 5. How did Firefly manage to get her consciousness into the Dreamscape if she can't dream? Did Silver Wolf hack the system and sent her there? 6. Was the Stellaron Hunter we fought really Firefly or somebody else? Unless the Mecca was controlled remotely I can't see how could that be Firefly that was a short time ago dispatched by the meme beyond the barrier. 7. Who else can cross the barrier? We know of Acheron and Black Swan.

...soooo...she is a helldiver ?!😅

Thank you for reminding me of this. Hoyo does love their older game references

I was shocked to see Firefly reveal herself as Sam, it was cool though. I am curious how she’ll work in game though because is she going to be destruction as Sam or be preservation as Firefly. I am just happy she is not dead.

All I remember about swarm is the simulated universe thing where you hug a egg, and the insect crawled into you. 😂 That passage forever stuck in my mind. 🤣

Genuinely insane backstory Can’t wait for the 2.2 reveal

Just Imagine Genshin did something similar. We get to the big reveal of The Captain in Natlan and it’s turns out to be Lumine or more likely Dain.

With a origin story for firefly just dropping like 30 mins ago, well.. idk how to feel.

So what I’m gathering is that Sam is a Warframe, and Firefly is his Tenno/Operator.

Penacony's story so far has had so much twists that frankly im not ready to accept anything easily at face value until more context is given in future stories Remember in 2.0, Firefly seemingly got killed, then in the quest right after that, Black Swan led us through some memory echoes showing that Firefly was interacting with someone (seemingly the "mecha" she was verbally speaking to), and the quest culminated with a standoff against Sam. if you now add in the piece of info of Firefly = Sam, those plot points in the 2.0 story still don't make total sense.

Amazing back story and great video! This makes me want to pull Firefly and annihilate Swarm Disaster.

good to see new Gundam Aerial

Oberon vortigerne: everything is a midsummer night dream

Maybe that's how she got back so quick from beyond the veil If she can control Mecca heid1878 S not to say she can control multiple at the same time flyer Firefly died that Mecca died that form of her died but there was another one round the corner helping her Hence by in the flashback there were tpoop Firefly and a Mecca she didn't call it Sam or anything And that's how she was able to come back from beyond the just switched her consciousness and change the mecca into the firefly so we would recognize her

Gamer chronicle please don’t ever stop uploading theory videos😭

I also thought of her being Titania. It all just checks up.

titania theory goes hard. i mean we straight up know firefly is Sam's model type, so its possible that was the name given to her upon creation because she was a tool. Or... she forgot her original name but remembered firefly

so you're trying to say Sam is just a helldiver

I knew about the iron fleet but I never even considered that Firefly might be Titania! Fascinating theory, and I like the route that could go. But I'm kinda hesitant that they'll go that way, since there's a couple small holes >< Just a couple though!

Interesting

also her animations when she goes into her combustion state has green flame different from what we see when its just sam fighting, and its seems its firefly exerting her own power. and she gets wings, now you could say "wings cause firefly" but they really look like a version of fairy wings. Titania is commonly the name of the fairy queen in folklore and Shakespeare.

Another point in favor of Firefly being Titania is that back during the 2.0 story when we were retracing her steps, one of Firefly's lines was her calling out "Mecha!", as if she owned the suit and it can move on its own.

i wanted firefly to be another clara, lil sis with guardian big bro(bot) so there can be memes of the two pokemon battling each other lol

i was a tad underwhelmed in the moment she was sam but its growing on me

Im in camp "disappointed by Firefly being Sam because I really like Sams JP VA and was so jazzed for him to have a Star Rail character"

Saving for her

It was only in this video that I realized for the first time that Sam was wearing high heels...

The Council is this Star Wars I want character that have a light shaver and can use the force please hoyo 🥺

I see her story as the nordic mythology, those iron warriors are the “valkyries” and she was made only to fight.

Peak setup

Sam is really powerful right now remember what she said about Sampo?

Makes sense really. The lore says she's a lone soldier but since this is Hoyo, the devs can change the lore to say that she's Titania like Genshin with the Wanderer/ Scaramouche.

I like the idea that she might be Titania herself

Fire fly is a badass and best girl❤

I like the idea of Sam being a lone survivor more.

cant say i didnt draw that samus connection either haha

I too thought Samus was a robot as a kid until i got older versions of super smash bros. If people want gigachad robots there's always future versions and Screwllum

her story are already lake since 2.0

Is sam a hell diver that survived?!

I know that Hoyoverse is trying to paint The Stellaron Hunters as a generally bad/evil organisation but I think they don’t seem as evil as Hoyoverse trying to imply. Which is why I find it a good twist that Firefly is also Sam. Maybe they are trying to show (albeit a bit subtle) that maybe The Stellaron Hunters aren’t that bad an organisation.

The only thing debunks this theory is the swarm happend more ember eons ago

Firefly is a Tekkaman

Firefly being Titania would make sense even with the "transformation" we saw at the end of 2.1 and that would give an explanation towards the "failed 11 times to tell us" part. She tried going back on her own (as Firefly), multiple times, but failed. The one time possible is when she basically became SAM (who was still in the upper dreamscape by that time). This a dream, so anything could happen. As she technically is SAM, its possible she was able to return from the lower depths by entering the suit through some weird dream shenanigans. SAM and Firefly (in the dream) being two individuals would also explain how SAM was able to be in the hotel lobby so quickly even after Firefly's undoing at SUD.

The one part that doesn't fit the rest was firefly speaking to "mecha" as if it were a separate person and then it just being her armour. Also you're going to hell for the Sam-us gag.

at least now i have to pull for Sam, cus he's a waifu. i collect waifus

Glamoth should have just dropped all the debris on their moon(s). That might have helped with the problem 🤷‍♀️

Yeah, I support the Firefly as Titania or a daughter she wanted to have some freedom. Like, Elio only giving Sam the fixed points that he does, I think form his point... its most charitable. With the fact they're working off of scripts, it's maximizing her freedom and options to try.

Firefly best girl

There's more evidence to presume she's just an Iron Calvary pilot then some level of royalty.

She’s just mechamaru

FOR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY!!!

All I know is Firefly is the best wife in game along with Silver wolf

as i listen to this im starting to think that firefly is titania...

Im still simping for him or her? At least she cute

Badass killer gigachad sigma robot, is revealed to be a cute anime girl. Wow.

Glamoth went for Genetic Ascension, didn't survive Endgame Crisis.

Do we know if she is confirmed to be still alive, dead or missing?

I like firefly, i like sam, I dislike firefly being sam, I LOVE not having to pull for them both

She is samus

also u had a 64 growing up ur old ahaha great video though!

C'mon, hoyoverse, you can keep Firefly as the serious side of Sam but at least give the suit an AI that refused to talk.

FIRST

Kamen Rider Sam

I just want a Video of all of SAM'S Voicelines as Firefly's.

I would like to firefly to actually talk like sam lol, like all serious no joke , Mess and you will regret attitude , straight edgy

The only good news in the event space Junk clogs out skys and destroys out Satellites is that the Internet actually runs on undersea cables. So we'll still be able to watch your videos regardless.

As someone who’s known the truth for like six months, I noted that the people pissed off about Firefly being Sam are the same people who only care about husbandos - you know, the lowest grossing banners in this game. I’m not really interested at all in Sam’s kit, but I like the idea of the protagonist having a canonical love interest in Firefly. Official pairings cut the ankles of the metastatic cancer of all fandoms that is the shipping community.

No one else was hoping Sam was just a robot mech piloted by the black cat?

My only regret with the Sam-Firefly thing is that it relegates Sam's VA to a voice modulator or something, and I thought his VA was pretty cool and was kinda hoping he was at least an AI or something.
