"Welt...?" "It's a... great name, right?" "Then..." "From now on, you are Welt." "This Herrscher core... and the mission to protect the world..." "I'll leave them to you, Welt."

"or maybe he recognized a familiar face" OOOOF

It was himeko. Welt killed himeko's dad in HI3 which resulted in himeko joining schiksal to find out the truth and she died as a result. Welt was so guilty about it he chose to save HSR Himeko. HI3 himeko always wanted to be an astrolog to study stars and other celestial entities like her dad. But she couldnt do it. HSR Himeko's light cone story comes from this fact.

Or maybe he wanted to finally be a playable character

The people who fought back and overcame the calamity that hit their world are the cast of Honkai Impact 3rd whom Welt now is trying to go back to.

I think it's hinted in the ending of Alien Space that Welt wanted to save star rail Himeko since he blamed himself for the death of Earth's Himeko. That or he was just talking about taking action to save the world while he can and Himeko's death was brought up cause it's a himeko-centric manga

Technically what happened was: Void Archives: Welt there is a new Alternative reality having your ded student and they are chased by Sky People Welt: What? Tell Tesla I'll buy milk for Joffrey

If I remember correctly Welt found out that forces from the world of HI3 sought to kill Himeko of HSR, so he ventured to the other reality in order to protect her so she didn’t die like the original

..And he's scared of pompom! You've got to believe me, man! Pompom is definitely the last boss of this game!

He travels to Star Rail to buy milk and god knows when he’ll return to his wife and kid

Also another small fact that confirms this is when you have Hook join the Astral Express, there will be a convo where Hook tells you that Welt shared a bedtime story to Hook where Welt saved another universe

Bro destroyed planets just to deal 358 damage

Imagine Tesla's reaction to her husband jumping universe for some Himeko action

the strange blonde hair = Void Archive in Otto body, loucha is Otto in HSR universe

That's not all of it. The stranger you mentioned is Void Archives. The same Void Archives from the A Post Honkai Odyssey future. Void Archives and Welt decided to go past the "gate" presumably a portal to the universe of HSR so the invading aliens won't go to earth and instead follow them. Void Archives carried with him a beacon of sorts that makes the aliens follow them and not invade earth. Void Archives also says that the only way to stop the aliens from invading is to go through the portal. Welt, being a heroic son of a gun, decided to go with him in order to save his world and the other universes who might suffer the same fate.

Welt... The Real MC of Honkai Verse...

Considering how he sticked to the Astral Express, it's 100% Himeko.

That mysterious Figure is Void Archives if I remember correctly. Its gonna be fun when Welt's secret will be revealed.

I think you should research about ruan mei,she seems relevant to HI3 and its the rarest occurrence in the simulated universe

Welt on his way to canonically be the strongest person in the universe just to deal 2 dmg:

The first Herrscher of Reason was Welt in Honkai Impact, wasn't it?

Surely you dont read the manga, welt just wanted to protect himeko from the "sky people", even tho its a different himeko from his universe, he still wanted to protect her at all cost

He switched to find himeko since in HI3 she is dead and he felt guilty for her death so he decided to protect her in HSR universe.

It was because Himeko from star rail was targeted by some of the aliens he fought in his world

He rated us S tier heh.

Yeah... For those who are curios, this the short version. But this holds a huge spoiler for Honkai Impact 3rd story. . . . . . . In his original world, Himeko (whom all Honkai Impact 3rd players loves) was his former student. But they did end up not meeting after years due to some events (The 2nd Honkai Impact). Welt fought in the 2nd Impact but lost his body, his mind getting lost in a space where all dead universe are contained, called the Sea of Quanta. While he's stuck in the sea.Himeko became a valkyrie of Shicksal, the organization that Welt was leading, Anti Entropy, is rivals with. After a bunch of events, Himeko died trying to save Kiana (Honkai Impact 3rd's MC). And welt never did get to meet her again. After he found out that the Sky People (the alien race he was chasing in HSR universe) is planning to invade HSR universe, he also found that the Sky People have Info about HSR Himeko. So he decided to go there, not just to stop the Sky People but to help Himeko. It's weird because the blonde Stranger (who's name is Void Archive, an AI), returned to their original world, but Welt decides to stay even though his wife and his son is waiting for him. But Welt had always taken on the role of a Hero, not caring about himself if it means he can save Humanity. That's the legacy left behind by his "Hero", Welt Joyce, the person from whom Welt received his powers from.

NGl glad my boy Welt Yang get some love in the Honkai Impact to Starrail fandom

Nah, he actually go to buy milk. He actually has a wife and a child.

His real name is"JOACHIM NOKIANVIRTANEN"

He just want to meet himeko, hopefully hoyo dont take her from welt anymore

Apparently he did whatever it is he came to do and is now on the express to find the way back

"I can help you achieve the unimaginable." "im imaginary, please hesitate."

My favorite thing is when welt literally breaks the universe just to deal 5 damage

more often, welt was abandoned in space and was about to die when he arrived. but luckily fate brought him a familiar face, Himeko with the Astral Express.

He wanted to travel the multiverse to find the truth about the Sky People, that was his endgoal at the end of Alien Space

I appreciate the comments where you give tips on what you could’ve done. Helps me learn brella

Im so nostalgic about the hi3 😢

Mans hopped a universe to keep Himeko alive. Truly a good mentor at heart.

yea welt traveled to star rail to protect himeko cus he felt partially guilty for her death

well welt mainly chose to travel because of lucheni in apho 2 in honkai impact 3rd. it's written in the data bank of honkai star rail

I love how eventually Star Rail and Impact 3rd is going to intertwine eventually. APHO 2 is at a Cliffhanger, and I hope eventually they break the "Bubble Universe" idea and there is some phenomenon that will bring them together to face a multi-versal threat.

Long story short: he's the second Herrscher of Reason

Irrelevant but I have a theory on who Luocha has inside the Casket : That is the Aeon of Abundance.

This whole short feels quite emotional with the backsound :')

Mentally pulled my Himeko closer to me when i met Luocha

FIGHT FOR ALL THAT IS BEAUTIFUL ❤

I thought he just came here to save himeko from someone from his reality..

Welt learned about a race of beings from "blonde stranger" who were bringing calamity to other universes (The Sky People) and he had a vision of HSR Himeko (he thought it was the HI3rd Himeko) and with the help of The Void Archives (blonde stranger) travelled universes

Welt, your wife still waiting on the earth And here you're buying some milk huh💀

Well if you finished HI3 all chapters you'll know why welt decided to go other universe spoilers it's because of march 👍

Fun fact: welt is German so if you translate welt to English it means world (only if anyone didn’t know)

i think it's more likely to be time travel than traveling through dimensions, since all the hoyoverse is canonically the same universe

Maybe this was the reason Welt wanted to go to Belabog so much? To meet with this world version of Seela and Bronya

Btw, Welt was disguised as a teacher for a while, and actually taught Himeko(HI3 one), that Himeko actually developed a crush on him, not knowing he was a grandpa:

Its not alternative reality. Its just different part of infinite universe

Welt is the key character of the all hoyoverse games' lore

in my opinion i think it was bc he noticed a familiar face (himeko) and saw that the sky people where trying to destroy worlds where she was, so he kinda wanted to save her at least in one universe. Also how himeko said they found him with another person.... that person could be void archives (the blonde guy) and since he took the form of otto apocalypse he looks like him... guess who looks like otto too? luocha.... not to mention that luocha is one of the names otto takes.... Hopefully they meet on 1.1 story and we'll see if luocha is va or he's just the 'otto apocalypse' counterpart of that universe

Grandpa using his smartphone 😂

In one of the daily interaction via chat with Welt he talk about the anniversary of arahato which is a mecha built in the HI3 universe (we dont know if they also built it on star rail universe but i doubt it)

Void Archives didn't introduced the concept or the existence of alternate universes to Welt, he already knows their existence, he's literally from a world with knowledge and access to the Sea of Quanta and the Imaginary Tree, VA just mentioned a universe where Himeko is alive but is going to be targeted by the Sky People(HI3 APHO), so he went to HSR with VA to save her. Welt felt guilty to HI3 Himeko's death cuz he killed her dad and was her college teacher, so if he didn't killed her dad, HI3 Himeko would've been just like HSR Himeko living her dreams and wouldn't be fighting against Honkai as a Valkyrie and die sacrificing herself to help Kiana.

He came here to save Himeko

Bro just left to buy some milk

I wonder why Welt still retains some of his herrscher powers. Also I like Void Archives he gud divine Key

Can't wait for welt's story quest

"Or maybe he noticed a familiar face" Me: 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Also me: Himeko 😭😭😭😭😭

we will definietly have another welt yang in the future, different welt and not him

Only Captains know the truth

bro went to buy milk

Welt traveled to the star rail universe to save Himeko. But he had already a son in his early tens in his original world and is heavely implied that he was married, or at least in a relationship with Tesla, the redhaired girl that apears in his splash art. So... technically Welt abandoned his family for another woman. Granpa has a complicated story.

He wanted to do Tax Evasion and dodge Child Support

I got goosebumps at all the different characters, and yeah, a familiar face (while Tesla is being shown) xD And... is that blonde guy Otto?

I was pondering about the reason, then I heard "a familiar face" : Understandable have a nice day.

Hope we will have welt yang on genshin imagine him just somehow arriving there too

the Asteral Express came from Welt world aswell its in one of the animations made by MiHoYo

Void Archives told welt that there was a alternate reality that the sky people were gonna invade and Hemiko was alive and also being chased by the sky people in this reality so welt chose to go into the star rail reality/universe in order to save her and stop the sky people.

Genuinely need to see Void Archives in Star Rail 🫡

_Cosmic Juggernaut_ is basically the Astral Express, although it's never said that Welt and Void Archives used it to get to _HSR_ . In the _Alien Space_ manga, Void Archives and Welt discovered that the Sky People, who were attacking Earth in the APHO timeline (2026) to harvest Honkai energy, had targeted _HSR_ Himeko. Which is when Welt decided to go protect her from the Sky People. It's also notable that the Sky People's scouts are basically recolours of some of the painted creations by Griseo, the once very young Flame-Chaser who bears the Signet of Stars. Griseo was chosen to participate in Project ARK, being launched away from Earth to try to find some place out of the Honkai's reach (later found to be impossible because they're multiversal). Contact with the entire Ark Fleet was lost, and Project Ark declared a failure. More than 50,000 later (around 2023), another surviving Flame-Chaser, Fu Hua, the Bearer of the Signet of Vicissitude, would find an Ark ship in another bubble universe, its occupant alive but asleep.

At some stage, I feel like Welt will die for Himeko to free himself from guilt and atone his own so call sin

He sure is god like with his kit

Only HI3 people know why he went there in first place.

mysterious my foot thats void archives if im not wrong

Everyone's talking about Himeko, but that blonde stranger they mentioned seems pretty familiar...

He’s here to try and keep Himiko from dying like she always does

Blonde... Otto... Welt... Herrscher of reason...

I like how Hsr and HI3 Are Related to each other but then Genshin is just All Alone lol, Hsr and HI3 would possibly have more Story or Side Story About HI3 in HSR

welt is so awesome. i barely know anything about honkai impact but in star rail, he's lit, one of his idles is funny, and he's one of the sweetest characters i've met ingame. 10/10 would offer to binge watch anime with him

this is the same universe. the imaginary tree is just a system that create a lot of worlds in a single structure which is seperated by imaginary walls. the astral express can go through these walls like Welt and the stranger did maybe by using the technology of the sky people to reach Himeko because the sky people were after her. somehow he cant go back and hopes that his world will be a stop for the astral express one time

The answer of why Welt happened to be in this universum is in HI3 APHO

He chose to travel because he didn't want to deal with his wife and kid no more

I saw a theory once based on Luocha's words that his real name(Otto Apocalypse) was hard for Xianzhou people to pronounce so he decided to stick with Luocha (a name for a foreigner in ancient China)

It is hard to tell why Welt travel into another universe. Well, he just come to buy some milk for Tesla and Joyce 🏃

Bruh why does that blonde stranger look like loucha with different front style hair tho

to save himeko from the sky people.

So welt is another dr strange and said “I love you in every universe” to himeko. ❤

bloned stranger ?. No he's green hat the greatest villain

Honestly, Welt's ambitions seem aligned to the Hunt. Maybe 60/40 split between how much of him fits Trailblaze/Hunt paths. He's literally chasing a calamity across dimensions, preventing or at least delaying a fate he knows too well.

Nah he just went to get the milk

man welt is the best character with the depest lore plus now I don't have to wait for keetle to start lore in star rail cause there this channel now

Welt wished to protect Himeko from the Sky people. At first Welt did not understand how another Himeko could exist which is why Void Archives (the other guy) explained to him the existence of different worlds (note that worlds are not universes. They are different space-times within the same universe) and after learning about it he decided to find the astral express. Hi3 does not have tech good enough to freely traverse the imaginary barriers so Welt's decision was a pretty bold one

...reborn in the fire....smiling in fire...
