Regarding Black Swan's mysterious line: the Garden of Recollection is collecting memories for Fuli so that the Aeon of Remembrance will use them to recreate the universe after its Destruction. In that sense, the past is actually the future. However, the Aeon of Finality actually moves BACKWARDS in time. So whenever someone briefly glimpses Terminus and hears their "prophecy" of the future, the Aeon is in fact simply reciting events which have already come to pass. In other words, the universe's Finality came first, and everything "leading" to it is actually a byproduct stemming from it. Perhaps Swan is alluding to the Garden knowing that our understanding of past and future are wrong, and time as Terminus experiences it (in reverse) is actually the truth?

She certainly must be able to control/affect memmories! At the beginning of HSR when we unlock MoC, the 'person' who does it is an agent of the Garden of Recollections too and warns us not to tell the rest of the express that she's there. If you try to tell them, before the crew can do anything she 'wipes' their memories immediately and tells us that we forced her hand, and to please not force her to do it again.

Ps: remember the girl on the Express can also erase memories seems that it is a standard ability for those following that path

"Erasing memories." _stares at March_

This is a warning people are posting story leaks be careful while you scroll through x or youtube.

I was watching the trailer before watching this and I said to myself “no but like I love her” look over to the side and see the thumbnail and burst out laughing

About the three prominent cards (Lady with crown, Demon, and Black swan): as was shown in the teaser livestream they are they represent visually the three 'levels' of her Arcana passive - base is Black swan, AoE damage is Lady with crown, and def ignore is the Demon.

8:55 Good save

Fuli's entry in the data bank says "Fuli is the fish that swims back upstream... They sit in the center of the sanctuary, silently watching as the world tirelessly repeat the same mistakes over and again.", so the line about moving towards the past could be referring to these past mistakes being indicative of future events?

As someone who once suffered memory loss due to an unfortunate event, I can say that it took a lot from me. Now I can’t really fathom human emotions (bcs some parts of my brain don’t work properly anymore), I can’t even feel happy, shed a tear nor sink in anger. Heck I don’t even understand how to love right now. Sometimes, I recall some lost memories when I’m about to sleep, and the memories literally flood my brain; scenes pass through one by one, the events keep switching without even reaching the end-story. I don’t really know how to interact with people, I often don’t have idea what people are thinking about when an event is related to me. Well, the whole point is, yes, losing memories does change a person.

What a trailer oml. So visually and audibly pleasing. Really enjoyable reaction vid. Sooooo pulling for her no doubt

Mother is indeed mothering

I think, when she says “we are all moving towards our past”, it means that our future (as time passes) becomes our past. For example, Yesterday WAS the tomorrow of two days ago.

Just a curious note, at 5:41 "moving towards the past" phrase is also mentioned in Terminus (aeon of Finality) description. Wonder if they are somehow related. Also, 9:26 that card is a 3* LC if i remember correctly, and the second card has the mask from the Break Effect artifacts set (im sorry, i forgot the name lol)

Penacony is definitely going to be the second generation of all new Honkai players, the characters look so detailed and I can’t wait to see what their backstories are!! Here’s to Penacony 🥂

"We're all moving towards the past" could be an interpretation of everyone's experiences and all they are, as they age and grow, become nothing but memories. Because she is part of the garden of recollection, she probably sees the progression of life and the future differently, as more of a process to create new memories rather than something to be wary of or run from.

I'm not saying this is what it means but imagine a person without any memories. The rest of their lives they are gonna either try to make new memories to replace those they lost or spend their lives trying to recover said memories hence going into the future is like heading into the past. If Black Swan can erase memories and is part of the remembrance path which guards the universe's memory who knows. It becomes so complicated at some point tho. Remember when the matrix of prescience tried to peer into March 7th's memory ? March 7th is seeking her lost memories but the rememberance stopped us from doing so. Maybe in the land of dreams March will finally be able to unlock that mystery.

9:32 One theory I saw online was that this might have been Black Swan in the past. She used to be a queen ruling over her world before it got destroyed and then she became a memokeeper.

Kafka: Destiny has thousands of faces, why does it choose to take this one? Black Swan: There's more then one destiny to choose from. These 2 would make for a *fascinating* conversation I bet.

I would love to see Black Swan being all smug about her control over memories and then she sees almost nothing in Trailblazer and bee like "What the fuck do you mean it's empty?"

Two of the Major Arcana in Tarot decks are The Empress and The Devil; it's possible that the crowned woman and the devil man are reference too those card's. I would like them to be deeper references or foreshadowing but they may just be part's of her aesthetic.

Black swan looks like Genshin’s old version of Welkin moon lady

I’ll be interested in seeing what interactions (if any) will be between Black Swan and March. Because March is all about searching for her memories and making new ones and Black Swan has revealed that she can remove and/or change memories.

that was a cool trailer, Hime thank you for your reaction as always

Really good reaction! I wanna correct one thing though. The card of the girl wearing the crown isnt Robin. Its Stelle. Im not sure what its signifying yet, i just know that its supposed to represent her. Its why its so prevalent in the trailer.

Hime is so cute 💙 cant wait to get her 160 wishes saved. My heart hurts from stuff i saw before story release

Black Swan: "What are you afraid of?" Tsuki : "You murdering all the dinosaurs again".

No reaction made it to 10min mark but you did it. Exceptional. 🥳

I love your reactions! So excited for penacony and my soon to be empty wallet

Thx for the reaction

love the hsr content hime.

It almost feels like the nightmare part of Poppy Playtime Chapter 3

Arryn Zech voices her, the English voice actress of Blake Belladonna from RWBY

What i am afraid of? Losing the 50/50

if we have a destiny pre-decided, we are just moving towards it

Black Swan is one SCARY AF MOMMY! But a Mommy nonetheless!

7:01 when black swan said “there’s more than one destiny to choose from” isn’t it complete opposite of kafka always says something along the line the future already predestined?

Uhm the card is representing robin Which is above duke inferno which is covering firefly card if i remember

her ultimate reminds me of the tentacles from the sea of quanta. also her color palette make me think shes a quantum character.

But...I'm supposed to be saving for Sparkle 😭

got her from the free 10 pulls!!!

The path of Nihility has all the hottest women, complete with sexy walking & accompanying violin... we eating good!

I Thing Woman on card it is Stella.

also, i believe that first card is Sam not Duke Inferno

In my opinion maybe the future already happened so even to is the future for us is Just the past

Why does Too look kinda like baby black swan?

I think maybe its because we don’t exist technically in the future, but as time goes on more of us exists in the past and eventually all that will be left of us will be our past without a future…?
