Maybe I can get that King's B- Oh. A grub.

Void

What will he say about it: ……………..

Like Kirby

Or both

wholesome void :3

Well, that's more or less up to the player imo. Sure we can't talk but there's plenty of small moments to show that we do care. Meditating with the nailmasters, sitting lakeside with Quirrel, delivering the flower/giving it to other npcs etc. Ghost's apathy is entirely dependent on player behavior.

"the *hollow* knight"???

She was not an enemy though. She just wanted to test Hollow Knight (by trying to kill him, yes), but as soon as HK has proven he is stronger, this was settled. Besides, Hornet is helpful

The knight had nothing to gain from killing hornet, and also the knight is a vessel which is why it can’t have strong emotions if any at all

Yea the knight has zero emotion or care for anyone, the only reason THE HOLLOW KNIGHT isnt “hollow” is because he managed to form a father son relationship with the pale king over time. The knight (aka who we play as) isnt at all like that and has no emotion therefore why he is called the “true hollow knight” when you get the void heart.

@@Jonrocks7 When is the knight called "the true hollow knight"

@@slugintub634 when you get the void heart and the title of “the hollow knight” ending where the description of the achievement reads: beat the game and become the new hollow knight. So maybe you should actually play the game my dude, try going for all the endings and bosses like i have

Good job for being articulate enough to explain what's so great about his character design. Did a much better job than I could.

@@jannmikoingelrabagogamingc6012 Thanks

When you dash into a enemy it deals a bit of damage but you get damaged too, but there’s no shooting crystals thing

​@@loty2906that was him going at high speed using Cdash

Yeah, it would have been cool in the game aswell

It looks cute aswell

Well technically speaking, ghost HAS to be emotionless, otherwise they wouldn't be able to imprison the radiance.

@@redgarlicbred6228 genuine question, can u explain why?

@@variasifiksi9788 The Radiance uses emotions and thoughts to control people. The Hollow Knight failed in his mission to contain it because he developed a familiar love for his father the Pale King. The Ghost, doesn’t possess such weakness as emotion and so is completely indifferent to the world around him.

@@pillowmcnormalman2753 you just made me realize that Ghost is a sociopath. The protagonist is a serial killer. Huh.

¹ Depois disse o SENHOR a Moisés: Vai a Faraó, porque tenho endurecido o seu coração, e o coração de seus servos, para fazer estes meus sinais no meio deles, ² E para que contes aos ouvidos de teus filhos, e dos filhos de teus filhos, as coisas que fiz no Egito, e os meus sinais, que tenho feito entre eles; para que saibais que eu sou o Senhor. ³ Assim foram Moisés e Arão a Faraó, e disseram-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor Deus dos hebreus: Até quando recusarás humilhar-te diante de mim? Deixa ir o meu povo para que me sirva; ⁴ Porque se ainda recusares deixar ir o meu povo, eis que trarei amanhã gafanhotos aos teus termos. ⁵ E cobrirão a face da terra, de modo que não se poderá ver a terra; e eles comerão o restante que escapou, o que vos ficou da saraiva; também comerão toda a árvore que vos cresce no campo; ⁶ E encherão as tuas casas, e as casas de todos os teus servos e as casas de todos os egípcios, quais nunca viram teus pais, nem os pais de teus pais, desde o dia em que se acharam na terra até o dia de hoje. E virou-se, e saiu da presença de Faraó. ⁷ E os servos de Faraó disseram-lhe: Até quando este homem nos há de ser por laço? Deixa ir os homens, para que sirvam ao Senhor seu Deus; ainda não sabes que o Egito está destruído? ⁸ Então Moisés e Arão foram levados outra vez a Faraó, e ele disse-lhes: Ide, servi ao Senhor vosso Deus. Quais são os que hão de ir? ⁹ E Moisés disse: Havemos de ir com os nossos jovens, e com os nossos velhos; com os nossos filhos, e com as nossas filhas, com as nossas ovelhas, e com os nossos bois havemos de ir; porque temos de celebrar uma festa ao Senhor. ¹⁰ Então ele lhes disse: Seja o Senhor assim convosco, como eu vos deixarei ir a vós e a vossos filhos; olhai que há mal diante da vossa face. ¹¹ Não será assim; agora ide vós, homens, e servi ao Senhor; pois isso é o que pedistes. E os expulsaram da presença de Faraó. ¹² Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Estende a tua mão sobre a terra do Egito para que os gafanhotos venham sobre a terra do Egito, e comam toda a erva da terra, tudo o que deixou a saraiva.

Agreed they did a really great job with this animation

What’s up firb0rn. Totally agree, they did amazing.

Really want a Hollow Knight mini series now

God gamer seal of approval

Smart fella 😎 fart smella 😥

I like that detail a lot. It shows how the little ghost is entirely void of emotions, (soulless basically) while Hornet shows all kinds of emotions with her facial expressions.

Honestly, this is the thing that excites me most about Silksong. Hollow Knight is a master class of "show, don't tell", and Team Cherry did a great job of creating a huge, deep world despite the Knight not saying a thing. However, that also makes any interaction, any relationship the Knight has very shallow. Hornet is very much so NOT the Knight, however. Not just because she can talk, but also in that she can feel. Hornet is quite clearly angry at the start of the Silksong trailer, and there are multiple shots of Hornet interacting with various NPCs. The sheer potential of these interactions after Team Cherry had already mastered showing a lot while saying very little excites me greatly.

Little ghost the whole animation: 0 0

@@webbowser8834 You make a good point! I'm also excited to see that.

@@webbowser8834 although throughout the game we an see little details that the knight can actually feel pain making him not entirely hollow. silksong would be a perfect game for me if they included the knight in the story later on.

This animation is the most smoothest animation I have ever seen and I love it so much!!

This was honestly really fun to watch, you kept the fight engaging whilst also focusing on each of their individual fighting styles. Amazing work!

Just saw you I’m my recommend, this animation is keeping me sane while waiting for silksong

@@beakboi8960 I have a thing to keep you sane while waiting for Silksong. It’s Crowsworn. It’s not a Hollow Knight rip-off since they both are in the same genre. It’s almost got $1M and you should donate and get rewards

Honestly this is kind of the most accurate portrayal of a Hollow Knight fight. Hornet is jumping around and using all these fancy moves, while Ghost just stands there moving no more than what’s needed and not flinching at anything happening, just staring down everyone.

Yeah

Yeah, it’s such a limitation for animation in general, but this is how it’s done. Ghost doesn’t really emote to stuff, they just keep moving forward.

they have to otherwise they'd end up like lost Kin or the hollow knight

@@JouganNeon I don't remember the previous to abyss shriek, but as I played the game without a guide, I did it with the old nail and no spells, since I prioritized healing over damage

@@alejandrotorresriquelme8714 the old nail? Oh my that fight must’ve been a nightmare

Agreed, while playing Hollow Knight I often thought about how it would look like if it were a movie. This here perfectly embodies it!

Just standing on the ceiling like "what are you looking at".

But I thought she was... well... a Hornet.

She's not a spider. Her weapon is a needle and those strings are thread. It's literally a sewing needle and thread.

@@MisfiT.Vibezz She’s at least half a spider. Her mother is Herrah the Beast, who lived/lives in Deepnest, home of the spiders. It’s how she gets her thread.

@@MisfiT.Vibezz I mean, it's definitely based on a needle and thread, but if it's _literally_ a needle and thread that raises some major questions

this is exactly what I wanted to say. Also, I think hornet's (and the Knight's) personality was portrayed perfectly as well. this is the best hollow knight animation I've seen so far

The knight’s attacks looked pretty flashy but I know what you mean

@@Gardengap The knight's attacks were flashy, but not on purpose. Since the knight (by design) has no personality, It attacks with what it has and only does exactly what it needs to do to overcome a challenge, nothing more. Whereas Hornet's moves are chok full of personality being full of movements that (while not being detremental to her fight) are unneccesary.
