1:43finale is here. The sun sets in the
1:46lowly west. Who here is awaiting the
1:48night?
1:51The sun is setting on season two. The
1:53sun is setting on New Eradu.
1:56Does that bode well?
1:58Will this have a happy ending? I don't
2:00know. I don't know, guys.
2:02Let's see. [laughter]
2:06Let's see. Let's see. Where is Ramiel?
2:09Oh.
2:12Let's go chat with big bro.
2:15Hello, eyes.
2:20Just as I thought. Aside from the news
2:22about Hollow Champion, there's no info
2:24on Ramiel.
2:26Didn't she say she'll never see us
2:27again?
2:29>> [laughter and gasps]
2:29>> She completely vanished, like a
2:31limited-time character.
2:36Oh.
2:37Oh, too real. Harumasa Harumasa is
2:40calling. Harumasa's on the phone.
2:43Yep.
2:44Just like an ultra-rare, limited-time
2:46character, exclusive to the competition.
2:49Harumasa wants your number? She
2:50completely disappeared. Mhm. Still
2:53searching. Still searching, guys. Where
2:55is he?
2:56By the way, where did Sicia go? By the
2:58way, where did Sicia go?
3:01Wasn't she with you just now?
3:04She got a phone call and suddenly ran
3:06out, saying she had to rush to 141 to
3:08grab the freshest egg pudding in the
3:10area.
3:12Dude, that sounds so good.
3:15The one on the other end of the line,
3:16that's Commissioner Sevarian, right? And
3:19Sevarian's going to get a drip upgrade
3:21and be playable. Ah!
3:22Is it fair to get that nervous? Sorry.
3:25I'm so normal. a call from Commissioner
3:26Sevarian, right? Guys, our
3:29our male character of a 3.0 X
3:35is a baddie. Let's go. That's what I
3:37figured.
3:38Since she's in here, we might as well
3:40start discussing a few things that are
3:42probably best kept from Public Security.
3:44>> I'm not coping. He's going to be S-rank,
3:46okay? Trust me. A problem with
3:48Commissioner Sevarian. I'm in Hoyo's
3:50walls. feeling tops wouldn't simply turn
3:51a blind eye to Romeo. If we want to
3:54locate her before they do and get the
3:56Porceloid W engine back, we need to gain
3:58the upper hand in intelligence.
4:01And when it comes to gathering intel,
4:03>> Oh, I wonder if I'm going to get to see
4:04Saverin in this patch with the with the
4:06new model.
4:08>> [laughter]
4:09>> No, I'm out here coping. Okay, that's
4:10where Fairy shines. That's where Fairy
4:12shines. Yeah, Fairy has access to
4:14everything.
4:16That's our goat.
4:17>> A reasonable conclusion, master. The
4:19ultimate plot device and my goat.
4:22MVP, Fairy.
4:24>> with the second assistant, the search
4:26for information on the individual,
4:28Romeo, was completed.
4:3019,732
4:32matching results were found. Oh.
4:35Oh my. Nice work, Fairy. But almost
4:3820,000 matches for Romeo?
4:41Well, Romeo is based off of a angel,
4:45right? Or archangel? Or something like
4:46that? I saw people talk about that. I
4:48cannot. I'm not too knowledgeable about
4:50all of the all of the Bible lore.
4:53>> [laughter]
4:53>> My bad.
4:54Nice work, Fairy. But
4:56why are there so many matches? Logic.
5:00Second assistant is unable to precisely
5:02describe Romeo's physical traits,
5:04offering only the following keywords to
5:06assist supreme assistant in completing
5:09the search. Pink hair,
5:11operates alone, young woman,
5:14kind of a baddie,
5:15actually
5:16>> [laughter]
5:16>> definitely a baddie.
5:20So real. So real. Pink hair, operates
5:24alone, young woman,
5:25kind of a baddie, definitely a baddie.
5:30Does she live in Emforius?
5:33Does she live in Emforius, perhaps?
5:36Is she a pure child of Anasrava,
5:39perhaps?
5:43Is she also an author?
5:48Something strange in there.
5:49Something strange got mixed in there.
5:52You're the one who's familiar with her.
5:54I can only [snorts] rely on your
5:55description and [laughter] fill in the
5:56rest with my imagination.
5:58Wise, you are so real for that. Wise,
6:01I'm I'm right there with you, okay? She
6:03is definitely a baddie.
6:04>> [laughter]
6:04>> Reminder,
6:06please provide more relevant keywords to
6:08narrow down the results and improve
6:09their accuracy.
6:12Recall Ramiel's appearance.
6:15Hmm, let me think. Ramiel's appearance
6:21You describe Ramiel's appearance to
6:23Fairy using as much detail as you can.
6:25Understood.
6:26Refining the search results using the
6:28new keywords.
6:30Estimated completion time, 600 seconds.
6:33That's not that bad.
6:35Knock knock. Knock knock. Knock knock
6:37knock knock knock knock knock.
6:39Huh?
6:40Someone at the door?
6:41It shouldn't be locked. I'll go check.
6:46Wise leaves the room. There isn't
6:47anything else to do until Fairy finishes
6:49refining the search results.
6:51Let's just wait here for now. Dot dot
6:53dot.
6:54Maybe you're just exhausted from the
6:55past few days of the competition.
6:58Drowsiness comes over you without
6:59warning. Through the haze, you can still
7:01hear Wise answering the door.
7:04Coming.
7:07Yo, Wise, it's me whenever Ramiel shows
7:09up on the screen.
7:10>> [laughter]
7:13>> Sorry. Who could it be?
7:18Oh.
7:19Oh.
7:20Wait, what?
7:23Wait, how are we seeing echoes right
7:24now? Wait, are we asleep and then we're
7:26sensing this? Like sensing something
7:28from the past?
7:30Long time no see, Wise.
7:32Mama Miss Carol?
7:35No.
7:36How is this possible?
7:39Your body moves on instinct, taking a
7:40step forward. The next second, you snap
7:42back to reality.
7:45What?
7:46What just happened? What?
7:50I don't even know what's real anymore.
7:51>> Bella, what's wrong?
7:53Are you all right? Okay, so that wasn't
7:55real.
7:56Teacher!
7:57Teacher?
7:59Miss Carol?
8:00Was that her?
8:03Carol, who's that? I'm the only one
8:05here.
8:06Uh Uh something's wrong with your shop's
8:09front door. I CAN'T GET IN.
8:12Our shop door isn't designed to let
8:14someone squeeze through while carrying
8:16snack bags twice as big as it. Wait,
8:18guys, Thesia's bringing her own snacks.
8:21Stop.
8:23Stop. Why is that wholesome? So, guys,
8:25she's not just reloading, okay? She's
8:27not. She's contributing. She's bringing
8:30her own stash. She's not just taking
8:32ours. She's a good girl.
8:35Did I just imagine that?
8:38After [snorts] all,
8:39why would Teacher be here? She probably
8:41already emptied our fridge, but she's
8:43refilling it. She's restocking.
8:46She has good housemate etiquette.
8:48>> Bella, are you okay?
8:50You were talking about Teacher.
8:52Did you dream about her?
8:55It's nothing.
8:56Don't worry. I'm I'm okay.
8:59Uh I think
9:00it was just a dream.
9:03Uh but I'm fine now. Don't worry. Hm.
9:06Why are you okay?
9:08Oh, right. On my way back to the shop
9:10now, I received a
9:11uh super important message from Demon
9:14Lord.
9:15Demon [laughter] Lord? Is it a clue
9:16about Romeo?
9:18>> [gasps]
9:19>> I think I find it so funny how she calls
9:21her boss Demon Lord.
9:24Uh fine. I want to say yes, but at best
9:28it's only a very slight connection.
9:29>> Like the balls on this woman.
9:32Considering this specialist's
9:34exceptional performance during the
9:36competition, the sharp-eyed Demon Lord
9:38has reached a decision, granting me,
9:41Cecilia, a full week, that is, a five
9:45working days of paid
9:48Five days of paid leave is pretty lit.
9:51That's not That's actually quite nice.
9:53Uh congratulations. What does this have
9:56to do with Ramiel? Uh congratulations.
10:00But Cecilia, what does this have to do
10:04with Ramiel? Well, hold on. I'm not
10:06finished yet. The Demon Lord's paid
10:09leave, of course, comes with some extra
10:11conditions attached. He requires me to
10:13continue searching for traces of Ramiel
10:15with you during my time off. Just treat
10:18it as paid leave. Yes, that's exactly
10:20what he said.
10:21I yes, I give you paid leave. I give you
10:23paid leave for five days, but
10:27you have to go do some investigation,
10:28which you were also still doing while
10:30you were not on vacation or paid leave.
10:34But it's paid leave. Trust me.
10:36Trust me. It's paid leave, okay?
10:38Okay?
10:39In other words, for the next week, I'll
10:40be acting not as a member of public
10:42security, but as myself, working
10:44alongside you all. Is there any
10:47difference? [laughter]
10:48Of course there is. The Demon Lord said
10:51that during my leave, he'll forcibly
10:53shut off my communicator.
10:55He personally guarantees he won't
10:57contact me, and even advised me not to
10:59reach out to him, either.
11:01Wait, what the hell is Sevarian up to?
11:04>> [gasps]
11:05>> Even if the communicator were still on,
11:06I probably wouldn't want to contact him.
11:08>> He's definitely doing this cuz he has to
11:09go do something that he can't be
11:11contacted throughout. So, then this is
11:13his most convenient excuse.
11:16This means Sevarian's going to be so
11:17relevant, which means we have a chance
11:19of seeing him. We have a chance of
11:20seeing him in this patch.
11:21I have a feeling there must be some
11:23other motive behind this. I think we
11:25might get to see Sevarian near the end
11:26of the patch. In other words, public
11:29security You receive any updates about
11:31our actions from now on. I have a
11:34feeling
11:35Commissioner Saverian must have some
11:37other motive.
11:40Nah, Belle, you're overthinking it.
11:42>> Ah, fair
11:44>> [clears throat]
11:44>> our AI assistant just sent a message.
11:47The search results have been filtered.
11:48Filtered?
11:51What?
11:52>> [laughter]
11:52>> You'll find out soon enough. Come on,
11:55let's check out the clues about Romeal,
11:57the pink-haired baddie who operates
11:59alone.
12:01From now on, I'm going to refer to
12:03Romeal as the pink-haired baddie.
12:05>> [laughter]
12:06>> I hope you guys know this. This is
12:11All right, guys. Where that Where that
12:14uh
12:16P
12:19PBG?
12:21PBG, pink baby girl.
12:23>> [laughter]
12:24>> You've heard of AmyG? No, no, no, it's
12:26PBG, guys.
12:28>> [laughter]
12:29>> Okay, wait, let me change back into her
12:31into Proxy's regular outfit. For
12:34immersion, of course. Of course, okay.
12:38Didn't expect your AI assistant to be
12:40this capable. It can even access street
12:43cameras?
12:45OH, I SEE NOW. SO, that's why the Demon
12:47Lord sent me to protect you. You must
12:49have connections in public security who
12:51outrank him. They're the ones who gave
12:53you access, right?
12:55Of course. Of course. Yes, we we have
12:58our connections with PubSec. It's It's
13:00not because we have an AI that can
13:02randomly access
13:04most of the city's databases. Of course
13:06not. That would be absurd. Where would
13:08one Where would one even obtain such a
13:10thing?
13:11Uh
13:12yeah.
13:14Uh yeah, that's right. Let's go with
13:17that for now.
13:19I knew it. Come on, let me see what your
13:21AI assistant found.
13:23Wait.
13:24Who are all these people?
13:26Response. These are search results that
13:29may be related to Ramiel.
13:32Based on the keywords provided by
13:34master, I performed a second round of
13:36filtering on the search results and
13:38identified the following different types
13:40[laughter] of Ramiel.
13:44Okay. Okay, guys. Pink-haired baddie.
13:47Nicole.
13:49Yeah?
13:50Yeah, pink-haired baddie who operates
13:52alone though? No, she doesn't operate
13:53alone.
13:55Nicole doesn't operate alone, so she's
13:56off the list. Pink-haired baddie who
13:58operates alone? I mean, Rain does
14:00operate alone for the most part as far
14:02as we're aware. Obviously, she'll cut up
14:03connections with people, but
14:05but Rain Rain fits the Rain fits the
14:09description. And lastly, we have
14:13Xiao Xiao.
14:14Xiao Xiao is pink,
14:17has pink hair,
14:18and operates alone or I No, sorry. Xiao
14:22Xiao has pink hair and is a baddie, but
14:23does not operate alone.
14:25So, unfortunately, Xiao Xiao also does
14:28not fit the criteria. So, currently, our
14:30only candidate is Rain.
14:36Rain, you're suspect number one. Are you
14:39Ramiel?
14:40Shy Ramiel.
14:42Fluffy type Ramiel.
14:44Best friends already Ramiel. Best
14:46friends already Ramiel.
14:48>> [laughter]
14:48>> Ramiel.
14:50Wait, it's actually a whole family? Yin
14:54Yang is not considered a baddie? True.
14:56Yeah, where is Yin Yang here? What is
14:59this section six eraser first of how
15:01Ramaza gets shafted, never to be seen
15:04again unlimited, and then now
15:07>> [laughter]
15:08>> Yin Yang doesn't get counted as a
15:10pink-haired baddie? That's [ __ ] up.
15:12That's messed up, bro. No, it's just a
15:15mistake in the search results.
15:17Don't add misleading descriptors. Ceci
15:19will take take seriously. Uh
15:22is this a coincidence?
15:25They're not Rameal, but these are all
15:27people we know.
15:29Y'all does operate mostly alone though,
15:31she never works with a partner, but
15:32she's still part of an organization,
15:34which I would not consider operating
15:35alone.
15:36Even if she does do most of her missions
15:38as an individual, rather than in a like
15:41specific team. For efficiency, among
15:44hundreds of photos of pink-haired
15:45individuals, those most closely
15:47associated with Master are prioritized
15:50at the top of the filtered results. Oh
15:51my god.
15:54Guys, they're saying that we're not
15:55close enough to Yanagi.
15:57They're saying that Yanagi and us
16:00we're just we're just acquaintances,
16:01bro.
16:05Damn.
16:07Damn, that hurts my pink-haired twin.
16:10This maximizes the chance of seeing the
16:12most relevant results. Online, this kind
16:15of phenomenon is referred to as a pink
16:17hair filter bubble. I've never heard of
16:20such a thing.
16:21>> [laughter]
16:22>> Well, could you add a few more keywords
16:24to narrow down the search? Yanagi and
16:26Arya have left the chat. Okay, but Arya
16:29is not a baddie, okay? She's a cutie.
16:31She's a cutie. She's an adorable little
16:32cutie that I want to give a hug and to
16:34squish her cheeks. Squish her little
16:35robot cheeks, that little adorable
16:37little [ __ ] My my daughter, that's my
16:40daughter. That's my baby daughter right
16:42there. Hmm, let me think. Pink hair, but
16:45no hood.
16:46Oh, right. She has a black ribbon in her
16:49hair.
16:50And
16:52Look at her.
16:53You call her a baddie? Nah.
16:56Nah.
17:01After racking your hair, you come up
17:02with the racking your hair.
17:05After racking your brain, you come up
17:06with a few more keywords for Fairy.
17:09New keywords confirmed. Optimizing the
17:11filtering criteria now. Looks like a few
17:14more rounds of optimizing are needed.
17:17Wonder what kind of Romiel will turn up
17:18this time.
17:21A little while later. Surely and Augie
17:23this time.
17:25Filtering complete.
17:27Showing the photo with the highest
17:28match.
17:29>> Wow, we immediately got it. Holy [ __ ]
17:31Ah, that's her. That's the one. Romiel
17:34type Romiel. A photo of her was on the
17:36Demon Lord's desk. He wouldn't let me
17:38touch it or take a picture of it, but
17:40I've seen it before. That's definitely
17:41her.
17:43Dude,
17:44I got to say,
17:48Romiel definitely got two big baddies on
17:50her.
17:52That's for sure.
17:54Didn't expect her to be found so
17:55quickly.
17:57Uh well done, Fairy
17:58uh AI assistant.
18:01Why can't we just name our AI assistant
18:02Fairy? What's wrong with that? Huh?
18:05Thank you for your recognition. Fairy AI
18:08assistant looks forward [laughter] to
18:09serving you again. Name a more iconic
18:12duo.
18:13Fairy and clowning second assistant.
18:15>> [laughter]
18:15>> The place in the photo is
18:18the tea milk store at Lumina Square?
18:20Isn't that right next to the public
18:22security building?
18:23Come on, Bell. Let's head to Lumina
18:25Square and ask Coco if she remembers
18:27anything about Romiel. She shouldn't be
18:29off work yet. All right, fine. I'll go
18:31with you. Hopefully we won't run into
18:34the Demon Lord just getting off work.
18:38No, wait. I'm on vacation now.
18:40>> [laughter]
18:40>> Nothing to be afraid of. Let's go. Let's
18:42go. We're heading out.
18:45>> [gasps]
18:45>> I aspire to have the optimism that
18:48Cecilia [laughter]
18:52Uh Billy!
18:54Are you glitching? I'm here. Nope. Nope.
18:56Nope. Nope.
18:58Don't be like that. I know you're there.
19:00I got good news and even better news.
19:02Which one you want to hear first? All
19:04good news. Same difference.
19:08Good news is just 10 seconds ago I
19:09completed an unprecedented mech
19:11modification and now have unlocked an
19:13insanely powerful new form.
19:15Even better news is, manager, you'll be
19:17the first to witness this new form.
19:19I've made up my mind. I'm going to use
19:21this new form to help you get back that
19:22super important W engine.
19:26Thank you, Billy. I also can't wait to
19:28see you in your super cool new form.
19:31Perfect timing. We're just about to head
19:32to Luminous Square to see if there's any
19:33clues.
19:35Luminous Square, got it. No prob. I'll
19:38head out right now. Let's meet up at the
19:39metro station exit.
19:41Billy said he'd wait for us near the
19:43metro station. Let's go.
19:49Okay.
19:51We're heading out.
19:54We're going on a trip.
20:01Oh, goodness. All right, loading.
20:05Oh, wait, I'm dumb.
20:07>> [laughter and gasps]
20:07>> It's the Luminous Square metro station.
20:09It's fine. I'll just I'll just teleport.
20:12>> [laughter]
20:16>> Okay.
20:19>> [snorts]
20:22>> Cecilia's become one of my favorites
20:23from the VA performance alone. No,
20:25literally.
20:26I feel like Cecilia's
20:28overall, cuz the thing about me is I
20:31didn't really care about Cecilia at all,
20:32but then purely due to her performance
20:35and personality,
20:37she's actually to me one of the most fun
20:40characters in the game.
20:41>> [laughter]
20:43>> Billy.
20:46Hey, managers. You're here.
20:49You seem like you're in a great mood.
20:51What about the new form you promised?
20:53You look like you're in a good mood,
20:54Billy. What upgrades did you get?
20:57Manager, notice anything different about
21:00me?
21:01Look closely.
21:02There's one part of me that really
21:05stands out. Your big smile.
21:11Not at all. Your looks and attitude are
21:13pretty much unchanged.
21:16You missed it because you weren't
21:17looking closely enough.
21:19Here. This module on my chest. Do you
21:22see it? Oh, is it the gold thing?
21:27It doesn't seem like it looks any
21:28different.
21:30It looks like it can be pressed now.
21:33We can press a button. Billy has a
21:37pressable button.
21:42My brain just shot to so many different
21:44scenarios.
21:45>> [laughter]
21:50>> Okay. Okay, intrusive thoughts go away.
21:53>> [laughter]
21:54>> Looks like
21:55it can be pressed now.
21:57>> Intrusive thoughts be gone. That's
21:59right. As expected of you, manager. You
22:02spotted it right away.
22:05So, what happens if you press it?
22:08Don't rush.
22:09You'll see when the time is right.
22:12I borrowed half of your salary in
22:13advance from boss to get it.
22:16I can't think of any word to describe it
22:18other than invincible. Invincible?
22:21Yo, I just finished watching the newest
22:22season. It was lit.
22:25Nicole? An advance on your salary?
22:29I really can't think of any reason she'd
22:31make such a wildly out of character
22:33decision. Ah, right.
22:36Boss, along with Ambi and Nakamoto
22:39haven't been around lately.
22:41They said they went out of town to
22:42negotiate a big deal while we were in
22:44the middle of the competition.
22:46Yeah, fix that hair before Billy shows
22:47up, of course, guys. I have to look I
22:48have to look my best. I have to look my
22:50best for Billy, okay?
22:52When I called her, the signal on her end
22:54seemed pretty bad and her voice kept
22:57cutting in and out.
22:59But, I heard the words approved loud and
23:01clear. There's no mistake Oh, yeah,
23:03yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, Nicole
23:04definitely, she definitely heard exactly
23:06what Billy wanted. But, isn't half of
23:08your salary a bit much?
23:11Even if Nicole agreed, doesn't that mean
23:13you won't be able to buy any Starlight
23:15Knight merch for a long time? Yo, that's
23:17me right now, but with moving out.
23:20>> [laughter]
23:21>> Yeah, that's right.
23:23If I had followed the standard process,
23:25it wouldn't have been this expensive.
23:27Most of the cost came from paying for
23:29overnight rush work. But still, we're up
23:32against a pretty tough opponent this
23:34time.
23:35The better prepared we are, the better
23:37the chance that we can help you recover
23:38the W engine manager. Oh, thank you,
23:40Billy.
23:42>> I'd get it for you no matter what.
23:44This is just a tiny part of what that
23:46means.
23:47Thank you, Billy. Thank you, Billy.
23:50Anyway, I'll handle this.
23:52I got careless before and didn't notice
23:54the W engine being stolen.
23:56But the Starlight Knights never fall for
23:58the same trick twice. Billy, you're so
24:01fine. Because let's be so real, Ramiel
24:04literally paused time, okay? That was
24:05not fair.
24:07We're dealing with some crazy mechanics
24:09here. So, where do we go look for this
24:11Ramiel? Let's go to the T milk store.
24:14She recently stopped by there, so Coco
24:16might know where she went next. We can
24:18ask her.
24:21Someone's getting beaten up by Nicole
24:22next patch, yeah.
24:24Yeah, guys, Billy's going to get beaten
24:25up by Nicole next patch. And then also
24:30stop being meta.
24:33Because he's been beaten up and you
24:34know, he gets nerfed, he gets nerfed
24:35both in game and in the meta as well,
24:38unlucky.
24:39Unlucky.
24:40The curse of the male strikes again.
24:44Welcome to Richard T milk. What would
24:47you like to drink today?
24:50You know what I just realized?
24:53I feel like Coco
24:55and Asha from the arcade
24:58actually have pretty similar aesthetics.
25:00Like they're both pretty pale and ashen
25:03in terms of their skin tone.
25:05They both have this sort of like
25:07blondish
25:09like lightish hair. So Ash Coco's blonde
25:12and Ash is a bit more I think bluish
25:14purple.
25:15But then they also have the really
25:17really bright green in their design.
25:24That's Ash's daughter.
25:27Surely.
25:28One of them's a fire and one of them's
25:29not. No, no, no. Daughter.
25:32Daughter right there.
25:34We're actually here to ask you about
25:35someone. Actually,
25:37we wanted to ask about someone who came
25:39to your shop recently.
25:41>> [crying]
25:41>> Ask about someone?
25:43Um my memory isn't very good and so many
25:46customers come here every day. I can't
25:49possibly remember them all.
25:52Hm.
25:53I'll do my best to help.
25:56Lars hands over the phone showing a
25:58photo of Ramiel in front of the tea milk
25:59store.
26:01I remember her. Who wouldn't remember
26:03her?
26:04>> You recognized her immediately.
26:06Looks like she left a strong impression.
26:08Yeah, she was a very special customer. I
26:12remember
26:15Welcome to Richard tea milk. What can I
26:18get for you today? Let me see.
26:22Um
26:23what's this uh
26:25Richard's hot list? Ah, these are the
26:29best selling tea milks in the shop over
26:31the past month or so. The number one
26:34item on the list is our most popular new
26:36drink. A limited time option.
26:38>> Cheese. The triple caramel jumbo boba
26:42pearl lung tea milk. It's super
26:45delicious. Triple caramel is crazy. And
26:49I'm saying this as someone who has a
26:50majorly big sweet tooth.
26:52>> [laughter]
26:54>> The triple caramel ball, but it is
26:56oolong. I really like oolong tea. Pearl,
27:00why would you put pearls in tea milk?
27:03Wouldn't that taste fishy and be too
27:06hard to chew? Oh my god, guys. She's
27:09such a boomer.
27:10Ramiel's a boomer. No,
27:13no, they
27:14aren't real pearls. They're freshly made
27:17toppings for the tea milk, soft and
27:19chewy with a rich caramel flavor. Or,
27:23you could try our second best-selling
27:25drink, the natural fuel lemon tea. It's
27:28delicious, too.
27:30>> Ooh, that sounds good.
27:32>> Natural
27:33fuel?
27:35Have people's stomachs gotten strong
27:37enough to handle fuel now?
27:40This isn't meant for intelligent
27:42constructs, is it? Oh, okay, cuz guys,
27:44here's the thing, right? We don't know
27:46if Ramiel and Sunbringer are actually
27:49the original Ramiel and Sunbringer.
27:51Though, I feel like the dialogue here is
27:53making it seem like Ramiel is very old,
27:56and this is kind of like outside of her
27:57time. So, this makes me believe and this
28:00makes me lean more towards the fact that
28:02this is the original Colonel Dan
28:04/ Ramiel from the original Void Hunters,
28:07but it's still not a confirmation. But,
28:09it does it does
28:11make me it leans me more towards the
28:12theory that she is the OG. No,
28:16no, it's not real fuel. It's a natural
28:20fuel.
28:21Uh
28:22anyway, it's a very refreshing and
28:25healthy beverage that everyone loves,
28:27especially people who work in office
28:30buildings. Weird.
28:32This customer
28:34keeps asking questions about totally
28:37normal things.
28:40>> [laughter]
28:40>> Is she just trying to make my job more
28:42difficult? Oh my god, Coco thinks she's
28:44being rage baited. If none of these are
28:46to your liking, we also have the third
28:48most popular drink. Hmm. Okay, I've
28:53decided.
28:54I'll take the first, second, and third.
28:57One of each, please. Holy high roller.
29:00Ah, okay, no problem.
29:03Which one would you like us to open for
29:06you? I can pack the others to go or we
29:09can also pack all three if you like.
29:11Open them all.
29:14She's going to triple wield, guys. She's
29:16going to triple wield those bobas like
29:17she
29:19like she is the boba swordsman and she
29:21is Zoro.
29:22>> [laughter]
29:22>> All right, I'll open them all for you.
29:27>> [crying]
29:28>> All three? You're drinking them right
29:30now?
29:31She has a side true. Yeah, guys, she has
29:33a platform, okay? So, she's going to
29:35balance one right here. She's going to
29:37balance another one right here. Here,
29:38I'll I'll demonstrate. I I mean, I can't
29:40demonstrate because I don't have the
29:41assets, but she'll balance one right
29:43here, she'll balance one right here, and
29:45then she'll have one and then she'll
29:46have one in in the middle in the middle
29:50and then she'll have all three to sip
29:51on. It'll be perfect.
29:53It's like she has her own table.
29:55She's that talented.
29:57All at once?
29:59Of course.
30:00I'm curious whether this list is
30:03accurate and I have to try every drink
30:06to know for sure. All at the same time.
30:08>> Once I get an idea like that, I have to
30:10act on it. Who knows if I'll ever be
30:12back here again? If I pass it up, the
30:15question will sit in the back of my mind
30:18for a long long time. And I can't have
30:22that. That implies she's going to leave
30:24somewhere soon. I guess she's going to
30:25go to Ross Geller for
30:28That's it.
30:29And she held the three tea milks in her
30:31hand, taking turns sipping each one as
30:33she walked away.
30:37So, the new lead is
30:40Romi really likes tea milk?
30:43No, all we got.
30:45She's going away. She's She's very old.
30:49And she's going away for a while. Oh,
30:51wait. She also asked me where she could
30:53find a store selling geeky toys and
30:55gadgets nearby. I pointed her towards
30:57Sandzy Studio, so she probably went that
31:00way.
31:02>> A solid clue.
31:03Let's head to Sandzy Studio now.
31:07We're going on a wild goose chase. The
31:09new stuff at Sandzy Studio is pretty
31:12good.
31:14I've been hearing rumors they're doing a
31:15Starlight Night collab next.
31:17Not sure if that's true though. But
31:19Billy, you just spent all of your
31:20paychecks for the next 3 months.
31:23You just spent your next 3 months
31:24paychecks. How are you going to possibly
31:27participate in the collab?
31:30Hello Sandzy.
31:33Yo guys.
31:35I saw Ye. Pink hair.
31:37I think I know who you're talking about.
31:39I saw Ye at the at the freaking Zelezoru
31:41concert. Bro played some bangers.
31:48She did come by. Said some strange
31:51things and did some strange things. I
31:53remember her. Shameless self-promo, if
31:55you guys want to check it out. I did
31:56post a vlog for the Zelezoru concert,
31:59the AOD concert from
32:01a month ago, so if you guys want to go
32:03see that, it's on the channel.
32:05>> [laughter]
32:06>> Strange things? Yeah. It wasn't a busy
32:09day.
32:10I remember. Actually whole years Oh,
32:13sorry. Sorry, I missed
32:15a whole year.
32:17A whole year of Billy's salary. That's a
32:19whole year of no merch. That is the
32:21ultimate curse for any fan.
32:24Oh.
32:25If anything catches your eye, feel free
32:26to take a look.
32:28Let me know if you have any questions.
32:29Stop, this is so cute.
32:32Look, she is holding up. She is holding
32:33up.
32:33>> [laughter]
32:35>> Sorry, I need a screenshot, guys.
32:37They all look pretty interesting.
32:39I've never seen any of these toys
32:41before. Get her the Get her a souvenir.
32:43Of course. That's exactly what my studio
32:46is all about.
32:47Things you've never seen before.
32:50Whether it's 100 years in the past or
32:52100 years in the future, my creations
32:54are truly one of a kind. 100 years in
32:58the future?
32:59That confident?
33:02A lot can change over that kind of time,
33:04you know. Okay, yeah, guys. She old as
33:06hell, okay? This is the original Remeo.
33:08This is the original Colonel Dan.
33:09There's no way it's not.
33:11>> [laughter]
33:11>> She's so old.
33:13>> People won't see my work as outdated.
33:16I even think it's the next big trend.
33:18She's speaking like she was there at the
33:19birth of Christ, bro.
33:21>> I'm that confident in my creations.
33:24Mhm, if you put it that way, I kind of
33:27want to buy one now.
33:29Let me see.
33:30Mhm,
33:32this Bimbo.
33:34This one's pretty popular.
33:36It's called
33:38Waiting for Meltdown. Most of its buyers
33:41are young, just starting out in their
33:43careers, just like this piece of art.
33:46They hover along that uncertain boundary
33:48between growth and aging.
33:52Mhm,
33:52I see what you mean.
33:54And in a way,
33:57it reminds me of myself.
33:59I'll take it. How much?
34:0269 credits. Send the pennies.
34:05>> but we don't take pennies.
34:07>> Oh. Inspiration is the only currency
34:09here.
34:11True, cuz you can't buy the gadgets with
34:13pennies. You have to earn the weekly
34:15currency. Inspiration? Yes.
34:18Whether it's stories or ideas, customers
34:21offer their thoughts,
34:23which I turn into inspiration for my
34:25next piece. So, if you want Waiting for
34:28Meltdown, you'll need to pay with
34:30inspiration.
34:31For example, tell me why it reminds you
34:34of yourself. Hey E, do you wish to be
34:36one of those tea milks? I don't want to
34:37be one of the tea milks. I want to be I
34:40want to be her this belt.
34:43I want to be this belt right here.
34:45I'm being ambitious.
34:47>> [laughter]
34:47>> I I have big aspirations. Hm. All right.
34:52Then I'll tell you a story,
34:54one forsaken by time. Oh.
34:58Just dropping the lore like that?
35:00>> Just like that, she traded a rather
35:02fascinating story for Yo, what was the
35:05What was the story? So, what was the
35:08story about? I'm afraid that's a trade
35:11secret.
35:12It may become my next creation.
35:13>> Damn it, E.
35:14>> share it just yet,
35:16not until it's been shaped into
35:17something like a
35:19thought you can touch. Please
35:22understand. E, we're trying to do some
35:24investigative investigations here. Come
35:28on.
35:29What if the lead we're looking for is in
35:31that story?
35:34We've still got other leads. E, didn't
35:35you just mention
35:37Hold on, E. You mentioned that she said
35:40some strange things and did some strange
35:42things, too. That could also be an
35:44important lead.
35:45You want to hold those big mountains
35:47like that, Bells? Yeah, guys, I'm going
35:48to be like uh what's a Prometheus? You
35:50know the guy rolling that boulder up
35:53that hill in hell in the ancient
35:56mythology? I'mma be that guy,
35:58but with Ramiel's boulders.
36:01>> [laughter]
36:03>> Now, that's a fate I would love to I
36:04would love to be chained to.
36:06>> [laughter]
36:09>> Yes,
36:10before we even spoke, he lingered
36:12outside the studio for a while, drinking
36:15three cups of tea milk at the same time
36:17with Holding up her Atlas, of course. Of
36:19course.
36:20I'll be lifting I'll be lifting her
36:22boulders like Atlas
36:24>> [laughter]
36:24>> as well.
36:26It was really strange. Who drinks three
36:29cups of tea milk at once? But, I didn't
36:31ask. I thought maybe it was some new
36:33trend or some kind of weird ritual.
36:38Well, there goes our lead.
36:41Oh, right. There's something else.
36:44Before she left, she asked where she
36:46could find scenery of old Aredou. Oh.
36:49>> could see what the world was like 100
36:51years ago. I joked that she could check
36:53out the cinema across the street. Oh.
36:55To my surprise, she actually went.
36:58She went to the cinema to see old
37:00Aredou?
37:02She went to the cinema to see old
37:05Aredou?
37:06That doesn't sound right.
37:08Uh, let's go take a look. Girl's feeling
37:11nostalgic. Granny's feeling nostalgic,
37:13guys.
37:15Your grandma.
37:16>> is right across. Let's go ask Haley.
37:19Sorry, pink-haired baddie grandma.
37:21>> [laughter]
37:22>> Guys, I think we have to we have to tack
37:24on grandma to her title.
37:27I think granny is the most accurate
37:28title so far. Hello, [laughter] are you
37:30all together? What movie are you looking
37:32to see? Ah, it's you. One, two, three.
37:37Um, have you gotten tired of bringing
37:41just one person at a time? Oh my god,
37:43Haley. Haley, why are you calling us out
37:46like that? Wait, guys, I just realized,
37:49if you think about it, right?
37:51You know how we always have cinema dates
37:53with characters in this game?
37:56What if we low-key look like we are just
37:58a massive player?
38:00What if we look like the biggest fuckboy
38:01of all time to all the NPCs in New
38:04Aredou? Cuz we're constantly just taking
38:06different people out on dates to
38:08different locations.
38:09>> [laughter]
38:12>> Look like Well, you're right. You're
38:13right. We don't even look like it. We
38:15just straight up are. We're actually
38:16like pimps, [laughter] bro.
38:22Listen, Haley, please understand. I just
38:25have a lot of friends, okay?
38:27I'm a very social butterfly.
38:29>> [laughter]
38:31>> We're not here for movies today. We're
38:33here to ask you about this person. We're
38:35not here for movies today. We're here to
38:37ask about this person.
38:39>> That's so funny. I cannot believe they
38:40put that in the game. They actually have
38:43the NPCs aware of
38:45>> [laughter]
38:45>> the technical game mechanics of dating.
38:50That's so fun.
38:52Halley glances at the photo being handed
38:54to her. Oh, I remember this customer. I
38:57still feel a bit [music] sorry for not
38:59being able to help her.
39:01What do you mean you weren't you weren't
39:03able to help her? What do you mean you
39:05weren't able to help her? The other day,
39:08she came up to me and asked,
39:12"Hello, what movie would you like to see
39:14today?"
39:17"Probably an older movie,
39:21one where you can see the old city,
39:23or even further back in time.
39:26Uh
39:26something more uh
39:28retro, I guess."
39:30"Got it." "Hm.
39:33I think This Is How I Am might be the
39:36movie you're looking for."
39:37Dude,
39:38why does Ramiel always look so pretty
39:40though?
39:41Like look at her.
39:44It's a retro-style documentary capturing
39:46scenes of everyday life before the old
39:48capital fell. Basically, it's what our
39:50parents grew up with.
39:54Like slightly unpopular opinion, I do
39:57think Ramiel would look a little bit
39:59better
40:00if her boobs were slightly smaller.
40:02Cuz whenever I look at her now, they're
40:04like slightly they're like kind of like
40:06slightly too big, so they look a little
40:08bit absurd.
40:09>> [laughter]
40:10>> So if they were like the tiniest bit
40:12smaller, I feel like they'd look a bit
40:13more natural, and to me, personally,
40:17I would enjoy it more, but overall
40:19though, she's still so pretty.
40:21>> [laughter]
40:22>> So,
40:24do you like this movie?
40:26Huh? Me?
40:28I do. Honestly,
40:29>> Take that. I pretty much like every
40:31movie we show here. I'm not talking
40:33about the movie itself, but the kind of
40:36life it shows.
40:38I'm curious how people today think of
40:40that era. I'm all right. I'll take a
40:43ticket for it. This is how I am.
40:45Preferably for the soonest available
40:47screening. Sacrilegious.
40:49>> [laughter]
40:51[gasps]
40:51>> Guys, listen. Listen, okay? Cuz from a
40:53design standpoint, okay?
40:55Her outfit already accents her boobs. It
40:58already puts a lot of emphasis on her
41:00her her breasties. So, the fact that
41:03they're extra big, plus there's emphasis
41:06on them, to me just makes it look a
41:09little bit unnatural. That's all. That's
41:11all. I do prefer it to look a little bit
41:13more natural, but at the end of the day,
41:17I'm still vibing.
41:19That's my girl right there. Sure thing.
41:21Just a moment, please.
41:25Oh, I'm so sorry. We don't have any
41:27screenings of that movie today. Oh.
41:30Yo, that's unlucky.
41:31>> There have been a lot of new movies
41:33lately, and they're all pretty popular,
41:35so older movies like this are
41:38The next showing should be around 10:00
41:40p.m. the day after tomorrow, if that
41:43works for you.
41:43>> She's going to be gone.
41:45>> [sighs]
41:45>> I see.
41:46That's a shame.
41:48I probably won't be here by then. You're
41:50just jealous of her boobs.
41:52>> [laughter]
41:54>> [ __ ] how'd you know? How'd you know?
41:56[ __ ] [ __ ] I'm being exposed.
41:59>> [laughter]
41:59>> Nah, guys, medium is premium, okay?
42:04I don't make the rules. I don't make the
42:05rules.
42:06>> [laughter]
42:07>> But, every now and then, a little regret
42:10like this
42:11isn't so bad, don't you think? Um.
42:15I'm really sorry I couldn't help.
42:18>> [laughter]
42:19>> It's okay.
42:20Oh, by the way, is there a place nearby
42:23that sells flowers? There's a flower
42:25shop just outside to the left.
42:30Ramiel enjoys old movies. When Large is
42:32in charge, yo, she can be in charge of
42:34me any day. Holy s-
42:35>> [laughter]
42:38>> Ramiel wanted to watch an old movie, and
42:41after leaving the cinema, she went to
42:43Orchidea's flower shop. Guys, listen.
42:46Ramiel and I, we're polar opposites, all
42:48right? We're polar opposites, and
42:50opposites attract. Opposites attract, we
42:52would balance each other out perfectly.
42:57We're perfect for each other. We're
42:58perfect for each other.
43:01Hey, Belle.
43:02I think I found something suspicious.
43:05Did I miss something? Are there more
43:07clues? Huh?
43:09Did I miss something?
43:10What Hailey said earlier, about bringing
43:13just one person at a time to the cinema.
43:17What did she mean by that, Belle? Oh my
43:19god. No. No, not our sibling finding out
43:23about our playboy ways. No wise, please
43:26understand. I just have a very large
43:27social circle, okay?
43:29I swear, I swear I'm loyal. I'm loyal to
43:31each and every one of my my
43:34my uh
43:37my lovely companions, of course.
43:39I I show them all lots of love. Trust
43:41me, trust me. I love equally, I love
43:44equally.
43:46Uh yes, I noticed that as well. It's a
43:49new clue about Belle.
43:53Feels like a clue that wasn't
43:58Oh my
43:59wow.
44:01Um
44:02Oh,
44:03well,
44:05Hey, worry about it.
44:06Let's head to the flower shop. What if
44:08Orchidella gets off work before we get
44:10there?
44:10>> [laughter]
44:12>> Stop. No, that's so funny. I'm so happy
44:14they referenced this.
44:16>> [laughter]
44:18>> Thinking about her stopping by the
44:19cemetery.
44:21Okay.
44:23It's Ramiel. Is she planning to check
44:25out every corner of luminous square or
44:27what?
44:29Guys, it just means that Faith in has
44:31game, okay? We got the rizz. We are in
44:34fact canonically the rizzlers.
44:36Uh-oh. Uh-oh, Vivian. Vivian, look away.
44:39Vivian, don't don't look at me.
44:41Vivian,
44:42um, don't worry. Don't worry about uh,
44:44my my
44:45my my my pimping ways. Don't worry. We I
44:49Trust me, Vivian. I only take you on
44:50dates, okay? It's just you. You're
44:52you're my one and only. I
44:54Yes. Yes.
45:01You explain that you're looking for
45:02Ramiel as soon as you see Orchidella.
45:05Wait, we're looking for Ramiel and
45:06Vivian's standing right there. That's so
45:07bad. The woman in the photo did come by
45:10my shop, but
45:12there was nothing particularly unusual
45:15about her.
45:16She just bought a bouquet of wither
45:19blooms.
45:19>> Yo, Orchidella, can you keep your voice
45:20down a bit, please? I don't I don't want
45:22to be overheard by the girl to the to
45:24our right.
45:26Let me see.
45:27You want to buy flowers to honor the
45:29departed.
45:30In that case,
45:32I would recommend white chrysanthemums
45:34or lilies as they symbolize pure love
45:36and remembrance.
45:37>> Remembrance?
45:39Pure love? Remembrance?
45:43Close enough.
45:44Welcome back, Sireni.
45:48Welcome back, Sireni.
45:54Do you have any white wither blooms?
45:57We do have them, but
45:59they're not typically used for funerals
46:02or similar occasions.
46:04That's fine. I'll take a bouquet of
46:06weather blooms.
46:08Oh, by the way,
46:10how would I get to route 6 in Minerva
46:12quarter?
46:14Is it the romantic story of all time?
46:16You think so, too, right? No, guys. No,
46:18guys, this is
46:19Surely will not be a romantic story,
46:22okay? Cuz if it's a romantic story,
46:25we're going to be balling by the end of
46:26it. Route 6 in Minerva quarter?
46:28>> We don't want that.
46:29>> That's been sealed off as a restricted
46:31area when the old city fell.
46:34>> Smiles.
46:34>> there's probably no conventional way to
46:36get there.
46:38Guys, we are going to become the
46:39research society of happy smiles, okay?
46:41All right? However, if you don't mind
46:43taking a bit of a detour, you could try
46:46heading to Blazewood in the outer ring
46:48first.
46:50There are rumors that one of the hollows
46:52near there connects to Minerva quarter,
46:55but they're only rumors, and the hollow
46:58is really dangerous.
46:59Please, [laughter]
47:00just forget what I said.
47:02A detour, huh?
47:04That sounds like a hassle.
47:06That'd probably take a lot of time.
47:08Blazewood, huh?
47:10Another name I've never heard of.
47:14>> [sighs]
47:15>> I'll just go straight through the
47:16restricted area. My Emporius trauma
47:18being ignited? What do you mean, guys?
47:20I've never had trauma from from a place
47:22called Emporius before in my life.
47:25>> [laughter]
47:26>> Huh?
47:28You've never been to Blazewood?
47:30It's quite a fun place.
47:32Rosk's killer is located in the Minerva
47:34storm belt, too?
47:35Mm, that's why she's trying to go to
47:36route 6 there, cuz he's
47:38she's making her way to Rosk's killer
47:40first.
47:40>> There's a cheese restaurant that runs on
47:42passion
47:42>> That makes sense. legends that carry the
47:44taste of wind and sand and more nitro
47:48fuel than you could ever finish.
47:50>> [laughter]
47:50>> I don't go there often, but it's
47:53definitely worth a visit. Nitro fuel.
47:57Well, I guess I don't have a choice.
48:00Guess I'm going to have to try this
48:02mysterious nitro fuel.
48:05I'll take a slight detour and check out
48:07Bleiswood.
48:09And she left after buying the flowers.
48:12>> [music]
48:12>> It sounded like she was heading to
48:14Bleiswood. I hope that helps with your
48:16search. Thanks, Orquidea. That's really
48:19helpful.
48:20By the way, when did this happen? It was
48:23yesterday morning.
48:26Yesterday morning?
48:28>> [gasps]
48:29>> Knowing what she's like, she's probably
48:30already left Bleiswood by now. That's
48:32fine. As long as the trail hasn't gone
48:34cold, we keep moving.
48:36Let's head to Bleiswood and ask around.
48:39I can't stop thinking about the wither
48:41blooms. I can't stop thinking about the
48:43wither blooms.
48:45A theory, can you look up any
48:46information on them and see if there's
48:48anything unusual?
48:51Understood, master. I will gather
48:53information on wither blooms while you
48:55travel to Bleiswood.
48:58So, everyone heads to the parking lot
48:59and gets into the car driving to
49:01Bleiswood amidst the discussions of
49:02Ramiel and wither bloom.
49:05Guys,
49:06this is like the calm before the storm.
49:08Ramiel is literally going on a nostalgia
49:11tour right now. She's trying to look
49:12around, explore [music]
49:13the current Aredu, you know, see see
49:17what's going on, get to know the sights,
49:18see what's popular, see how every
49:20everyday people live.
49:25Because she knows she's about to go to
49:27Ros Calipher and then shit's going to go
49:28down in Ros Calipher.
49:33Please, no romantic story. Please, no
49:35romantic story. Please, don't no
49:37romantic story. Guys, tell me Shawzi
49:39isn't on the Zenless Zone team, please.
49:42>> [laughter]
49:42>> Tell me tell me that it's true.
49:45Hm. I haven't been back to Bleiswood in
49:47forever, but it still smells familiar.
49:51Smells familiar?
49:53Yeah. That signature Out of Ring combo,
49:56grilled meat, dust, and fuel all mixed
49:59together. I know Placeville like the
50:01back of my hand, so leave the info
50:02gathering to me.
50:04Look, the Sons of Calydon are up ahead.
50:07Oh, Big Daddy's here, too.
50:09Oh my god, Cannon Big Daddy appearance
50:11in the year 2026?
50:13Perfect. Let's go ask them. Caesar and
50:16Piper are in the background. Does this
50:17mean we get to see Lighter?
50:18Does it Does this mean we get to see
50:20Lighter? Does this mean we get to see
50:21Lighter? Wait. Wait, guys. Wait, guys.
50:24Do we get to see Lighter?
50:31Proxy, it's been a while. You guys here
50:34to hang out in Placeville? Ah, must be
50:37nice. Traveling around, making new
50:40friends everywhere.
50:42>> [sighs]
50:42>> Ah, that's what it means to be young.
50:45Unlike little old me, already too worn
50:48out to even think about traveling.
50:50Lighter and Lucy already filled us in on
50:52what happened at the competition.
50:53>> Guys, we need to see Lighter.
50:56>> Billy, you did great, too.
50:58It is also really cool to see Caesar
50:59again. I feel like we're walking down
51:01memory lane right now.
51:02>> [laughter]
51:03>> Why does it sound like you're only
51:04complimenting me as an afterthought?
51:08I'll take it.
51:09>> [laughter]
51:10>> But, the papers say some of the prizes
51:12went missing and the whole thing got
51:15shut down because of some chaos.
51:17Is that actually what happened?
51:21Mhm, yeah.
51:23Mhm, yep. [sighs]
51:24So, basically, this is what happened.
51:28You give Caesar and Piper a quick
51:29rundown of what happened during the
51:31competition.
51:33I see.
51:34But, I haven't run into any pink-haired
51:36strangers lately.
51:38You might normally
51:38>> Oh, [ __ ] I'm so sorry. I didn't know I
51:40did that.
51:43>> kind of complicated lately.
51:45We'll give it our best shot, though.
51:47Here, wait.
51:48I see.
51:50But, I haven't run into any pink-haired
51:52strangers lately.
51:53You might want to ask someone else.
51:56What's been going on? Are you shorting
51:57people these days? Oh, yes, the trouble
51:59in the outer ring.
52:01What's been going on? Has something
52:03happened? Uh it's Tops. I have no idea
52:06what's up with them, but they suddenly
52:08flooded the outer ring. Over the last
52:10few days, they've sent a bunch of
52:12strange people and machines into the
52:13hollow near Blaze.
52:15>> What?
52:15Mhm,
52:17because the Minerva quarter, right? I
52:19mean, it's a hollow, so we can't exactly
52:22tell them to stay out, but trust me,
52:24when those guys start swarming like
52:26that, it's never good news, especially
52:29since this isn't even their turf. Yeah,
52:31everyone swarming to try to get to Russ
52:33Cailifer.
52:34>> everyone back to Blaze wood for the time
52:36being. Lighter and Lucy on patrol, and
52:38the rest of us are on high alert for
52:40whatever Tops is planning.
52:41>> Wait, wait, tell me we get to see
52:43Lighter and Lucy. Police, police.
52:47I see.
52:48But, for Tops to be making moves now,
52:52could it be related to Ramiel?
52:54Or maybe
52:57Could it be Rusty Cliff Corp? I hope we
52:59don't get into trouble with them.
53:02Could it be Rusty Cliff?
53:04If they followed the trail from the
53:05competition to Ramiel, that tracks. But,
53:08would they really go this far?
53:11Mhm, we'll have to just play it by ear
53:13and see what happens.
53:15Where'd Sesealia go?
53:17We were so caught up in the
53:18conversation.
53:20Her?
53:22As soon as we hit Blaze wood, she took
53:23off to catch up with some friends.
53:25Look, she's over there with Big Daddy.
53:28Yeah, cuz he's a really familiar, too.
53:30There she is.
53:31>> [laughter]
53:31>> Let's go say hello to Big Daddy, as
53:33well.
53:33>> Wait, that's so cute. We actually get to
53:35see some of her old relations. Mhm, you
53:38go ahead. Caesar and I will keep an eye
53:41out for any clues on this
53:43Romeo girl.
53:45Thank you so much. Keep an eye on Tops,
53:47too. Thank you so much. Be careful and
53:49keep an eye on Tops, too.
53:52Relax.
53:54The outer ring is Sons of Caladan
53:56territory.
53:57Anywhere our bikes can reach, there's
53:59nothing we can't handle. Don't worry,
54:01Caesar. I know.
54:03I know you can handle everything.
54:06Including me, okay?
54:07It's all good. Absolute faith.
54:11Now, where's Lighter? Where's Lighter?
54:13Cecilia and Big Daddy seem to be having
54:15a great time chatting.
54:19Looks like they're close.
54:23Hello, Big Daddy. Think care doesn't
54:25ring a bell.
54:29So, you guys finished asking around? Got
54:32any intel? Caesar and Piper both said
54:35they haven't seen Romeo. Aw. Big Daddy
54:38doesn't have anything on Romeo, either.
54:42We all came back to Bladeswood together.
54:45If any of us had seen a stranger,
54:47somebody would have remembered.
54:49You know Big Daddy?
54:51You two know each other?
54:54Yeah.
54:55I've known the Sons of Caladan for ages.
55:00If I remember right, back then you were
55:02going around saying you were looking for
55:05the champion. Wait, she was looking for
55:08Lighter back then? Y'all Y'all Cecilia
55:09saying?
55:13Oh, wait. Oh, wait. Back then, maybe
55:15Billy was still the champion.
55:18We all thought you meant Lighter. Turned
55:20out you were after the first champion.
55:23Oh, speaking of Lighter, there he is.
55:26I've got stuff to take care of. Why
55:28don't you guys ask some of the others?
55:30Oh, and
55:31maybe check with Bernice. We get to see
55:34Bernice, too. Oh Oh god, I completely
55:35forgot about Bernice. I'm so sorry
55:37Bernice. Oh no, I feel so bad. Bernice,
55:40no, my girl, no. I completely forgot
55:42about Bernice cuz I was so focused on
55:44later. [ __ ]
55:46I'm so sorry, Bernice.
55:49Big Daddy waves and leaves.
55:51Where is he? Where is he?
55:53Where is he?
55:54>> champion, huh?
55:56Want to hear the story? It's the Outer
55:57Ring's famous legend, the Reaper and the
56:01Champion.
56:03Not just Big Daddy, even old Damir talks
56:05about it all the time. Old Damir?
56:08Yeah, if he had a hand in it, no wonder
56:10Big Daddy said it's not entirely true.
56:14What kind of legend? I want to hear.
56:16What's the legend?
56:17>> Okay, he's not here yet.
56:18>> hanging. Tell us already.
56:20>> [laughter]
56:20>> The squad is is making me sore. Hear
56:22that? Interested, huh?
56:24Well,
56:25I just so happen to know the full
56:27version already. Listen up. The legend
56:30of the first champion, famed throughout
56:33the Outer Ring.
56:36Long, long ago. Oh my god, we're getting
56:39a comic strip for this? The terrifying
56:42Calydon Reaper roamed the Outer Ring.
56:47Wait, this is so cool.
56:49>> a body made of steel, frightening claws,
56:52and breathed flames hotter than 10,000°.
56:56Threatening to burn Blazer would down.
57:00Her voice acting is so good. Calydon
57:03Reaper?
57:04Do you know about it, Billy?
57:06Uh no.
57:08Billy's [snorts] like, "Who?"
57:11Never heard about that guy before in my
57:13life, actually.
57:15Why did you cut in? This is the
57:17important part.
57:20>> [laughter]
57:21>> Until one day
57:22>> Oh. the champion arrived
57:26and challenged the Calydon Reaper.
57:30Stop. His aura.
57:34He struck first, firing golden lasers
57:36from his eyes that pierce straight
57:38through the Reaper steel body.
57:40Then, he used his indestructible
57:43cape to seal the Reaper's mouth just as
57:46it was about to spit fire.
57:48Woah.
57:50And finally, with a rocket [laughter]
57:52punch,
57:53he blasted the Reaper clean out of the
57:55outer ring with a single blow.
57:59Woah, the Reaper blasting off again.
58:03Mouth, that's right.
58:05And just like that, the people of
58:07Basewood could live peacefully and
58:08freely once again.
58:10This is the legend of the outer ring,
58:13the story of the first champion.
58:17>> [laughter]
58:18>> Hey, Cecilia's a great storyteller,
58:20okay?
58:22Also, I I love it. I love how they're
58:25doing like the storytelling within the
58:27story, within the comic strip story. So,
58:30yeah.
58:30>> [laughter]
58:32>> So, the first champion is incredible,
58:35right? Like that's such a creative new
58:38new for not format necessarily, but it's
58:40like such a creative new use of the
58:42comic strip. It's so cute.
58:45What do you think about the laser eyes,
58:46Billy? What do you think about the cape,
58:48Billy? What do you think about the cape,
58:50Billy?
58:52Me?
58:55It's good for keeping sand off, I guess.
58:58But totally indestructible?
59:01That's kind of exaggerated.
59:04It is pretty tough, though.
59:06Perfect for carrying Starlight night
59:07cards in it.
59:08>> Hey.
59:09Yo, I just imagined Billy pulling up,
59:11you know, opening up the the jacket and
59:14the cape. You know, like the trench
59:16coat. Look at all of my cards. Look at
59:19all of my trading cards.
59:21>> [laughter]
59:23>> What are you even talking about? A
59:24champion would never use a cape of honor
59:26and glory like some raggedy old sack.
59:29That thing is a void hunter grade
59:31treasure. Legend has it that if you have
59:33it on, even Hoshimi Miyabi with her
59:36strongest slash
59:37>> [laughter]
59:38>> It'll cut through for sure. Just one
59:40casual slash from Hoshimi Miyabi and
59:42that cape and the person wearing it are
59:45getting SPLIT CLEAN IN TWO, JUST LIKE
59:47THAT SCENE in the Starlight Night Recap
59:49special.
59:51Billy's like, "No, bro. I would die."
59:54>> [laughter]
59:54>> Storyteller like season 3, guys. Guys,
59:57season 3's going to come and then the
59:59storyteller, you know what's going to
1:00:00have that look all along, but then at
1:00:02the end
1:00:03of the storyteller's arc
1:00:05the storyteller is going to take off her
1:00:07wig, she's going to take off her mask
1:00:10and it's going to be Cecilia.
1:00:12I'm calling it right now.
1:00:14Only someone with the name the
1:00:15storyteller can have the level of skills
1:00:19that Cecilia just displayed for us in
1:00:20front of our eyes.
1:00:25Storyteller is Cecilia in a wig.
1:00:29I know it.
1:00:30I know it.
1:00:32If you want to test that theory
1:00:34>> I'm in Hoyo's walls.
1:00:35>> contact Miss Miyabi.
1:00:37I'm sure she'll treat that slash like
1:00:39it's one of her training exercises.
1:00:41Hey, come on. Don't worry about those
1:00:43old dusty tails.
1:00:45You should be more excited about the new
1:00:47legend THAT'S ABOUT TO DROP. I'd laugh
1:00:49my ass off if it was Cecilia
1:00:51storyteller, dude. Someone needs to make
1:00:52fan art of that. Cecilia [laughter] in a
1:00:55wig.
1:00:57Cecilia wearing the storyteller's wig,
1:00:59like like a cosplay. That'd be so funny.
1:01:02Trust me, my new form would make even
1:01:05THE FIRST CHAMPION JEALOUS. JUST PRESS
1:01:07HERE ON MY CHEST. BOOM! TRANSFORMATION!
1:01:11From now on, the outer ring will be
1:01:13talking about THE LEGENDS OF CUNNING
1:01:14HAIRS, BILLY. WAIT, NO. Legends of
1:01:18Starlight
1:01:20If this new form shows up in a Starlight
1:01:22NIGHT MOVIE, PEOPLE WOULD RECOGNIZE IT
1:01:24INSTANTLY. EYES SPARKLING, SHOUTING,
1:01:27WOW, IT'S HIM! He's [laughter] so cool.
1:01:31Alone wolf, UNMATCHED IN POWER. The
1:01:34rogue Starlight Knight who CAN WIPE OUT
1:01:36ALL THE VILLAINS ON HIS OWN.
1:01:39BILLY
1:01:40SPECIAL!
1:01:42THAT MUST BE THE ULTIMATE dream though,
1:01:44being able to be in your ultimate
1:01:47hyperfixation fan piece of media.
1:01:52That is every fan's ultimate dream.
1:01:54>> [laughter]
1:01:54>> Sounds like a fizzy drink from
1:01:55Cheese-topia.
1:01:58Okay, S-Billy.
1:02:00Then, why don't you transform now?
1:02:02Well then, S-Billy, quit stalling.
1:02:05Transform now and let's see who's
1:02:06stronger, you or the first champion. Uh
1:02:11S-Billy.
1:02:13I like that.
1:02:14It sounds even cooler than special.
1:02:17Very unique. As for which one's
1:02:19stronger, that's not important.
1:02:22What matters is that this one is cooler,
1:02:26flashier, and more like a Starlight
1:02:29Knight, 100%.
1:02:31ONCE WE RUN INTO SOME ETHEREALS, I'll
1:02:33show YOU WHAT I'VE GOT. WHAT'S THE POINT
1:02:36OF BEING COOL? It's not like the
1:02:38Ethereals care how cool you look.
1:02:40As if you would even get it.
1:02:42This is what makes it special to be an
1:02:44intelligent construct. It's the
1:02:46Starlight Knight way. Cecilia, you're
1:02:49wrong, okay? The Ethereals do care about
1:02:51how cool you look. If you aura farm and
1:02:53mog the Ethereal,
1:02:56that's a stat bonus.
1:02:59I don't make the rules.
1:03:01It's a debuff.
1:03:02You debuff the Ethereals with your aura.
1:03:06Big Daddy hasn't seen anyone that looks
1:03:08like Romeo, so we'll need to ask around
1:03:10some more.
1:03:13>> [laughter]
1:03:14>> Oh, Bernice!
1:03:18Oh my god, that voice. It's Bernice.
1:03:21Bernice, Bernice, Bernice, Bernice,
1:03:23Bernice, Bernice, go, go.
1:03:26Huh?
1:03:27So that's Bernice, right?
1:03:29Is she down there? Well, let's ask her
1:03:32as well. She's relatively well informed
1:03:34and might have a lead on Rameal.
1:03:37Sure, let's go. Sure, let's go.
1:03:39On it.
1:03:41Down the elevator.
1:03:43>> doesn't remember either.
1:03:45Well, I better just ask her.
1:03:49Surely someone will remember, guys.
1:03:51Bernice won't remember, but you know who
1:03:52will?
1:03:53My boy Lighter, cuz we're going to see
1:03:55him.
1:03:56We're going to see Lighter soon. Mhm.
1:03:58Mhm.
1:03:59Hello, Bernice.
1:04:04You're looking for someone?
1:04:06Oh, who is it? And what do they look
1:04:09like?
1:04:11Bernice leans in to take a look at
1:04:12Rameal's photo. She's most likely been
1:04:14to Blazewood, but Caesar and Big Daddy
1:04:17haven't seen her.
1:04:18Maybe she came through when none of you
1:04:20were around.
1:04:21I'm guessing you haven't seen her
1:04:22either. Oh, her? She's a good friend of
1:04:25mine. Oh, Rameal?
1:04:28A good friend? You know her? A good
1:04:30friend? You know her? Well, guys, guys,
1:04:33Bernice makes friends like it's nobody's
1:04:35business, okay? So I could imagine them
1:04:38just having a very lovely night
1:04:39together, you know, chatting over some
1:04:41drinks, having a great time, getting
1:04:44getting lit on Nitro Fuel, and then
1:04:45suddenly they're besties.
1:04:47Of course, we're besties. We hit it off
1:04:50right [laughter] away. I've never met
1:04:52anyone like
1:04:53Uh, what was her name again?
1:04:56She doesn't know her name. Oh my god,
1:04:57she's me for real.
1:04:59I'm so bad with names.
1:05:00>> good with
1:05:01>> [laughter]
1:05:01>> names.
1:05:02Well, we only just met. I might have
1:05:05forgotten to ask your name, but we spent
1:05:08the whole night drinking Nitro Fuel
1:05:10together.
1:05:10>> It's Kanan.
1:05:11She told me it was her first time
1:05:13drinking nitro fuel and she fell in love
1:05:14with it right away. I never thought I'd
1:05:17meet a rival like that. My throne throne
1:05:20of power rings to you, god, is shaking.
1:05:24>> [laughter]
1:05:25>> So, what happened next? What happened
1:05:27after that? Did she mention where she
1:05:29was headed next? Yeah, she did. She said
1:05:33she wants to go to this dreamy garden
1:05:35full of nitro fuel trees.
1:05:38Did the nitro fuel get to your head?
1:05:40Anything else other than the nitro fuel?
1:05:43There's no such thing as nitro fuel
1:05:45trees. Did the nitro fuel go to your
1:05:47heads or something?
1:05:49Aside from that, did you talk about
1:05:50anything else? Hmm.
1:05:53Maybe maybe not.
1:05:55Guys, I wish we had a CG for this.
1:05:58Seeing Seeing drunk Ramiel with Bernice
1:06:04that would be a sight to behold.
1:06:08They would be so cute. With With their
1:06:10inhibitions lowered.
1:06:11>> [laughter]
1:06:14>> I'm just imagining it.
1:06:18Oh, no, no, nothing like that. I just
1:06:21forgot. I might have had a bit too much
1:06:24to drink last night. So, I can't
1:06:27remember anything except the nitro fuel.
1:06:30Oh, wait.
1:06:31I got it.
1:06:33So, I guess this means nitro fuel's
1:06:34alcoholic, right?
1:06:36>> [laughter]
1:06:36>> If I have another nitro fuel and
1:06:38recreate the moment, I'm sure I'll
1:06:40remember something.
1:06:42>> Is that how it works?
1:06:44No, I get association. Actually,
1:06:45actually, associa- memory association is
1:06:48actually a way to regain memories.
1:06:52Bernice pulls out a giant cup of nitro
1:06:53fuel out of nowhere and takes a big
1:06:55gulp. Where does she keep the nitro
1:06:56fuel?
1:06:59Who knows? I think I'm starting to
1:07:02remember.
1:07:04Oh, the Hollow. She asked me how to get
1:07:07to the hollow closest to Blazewood. The
1:07:09hollow closest to Blazewood.
1:07:12That's a solid lead. Considering when
1:07:14she left, Romeo's probably already
1:07:17inside. Ooh, Romeo.
1:07:20So, that's her name.
1:07:22Hm.
1:07:23Doesn't really feel like it fits her.
1:07:27Bernice clocked it. She clocked it
1:07:30immediately. Yeah, that's because it's
1:07:32an alias.
1:07:33Mhm.
1:07:35Our AI assistant is calling me. Guys,
1:07:37Bernice is low-key the smartest
1:07:39character in this game.
1:07:41She is a nitro fuel addict,
1:07:44but she kind of she's kind of a genius.
1:07:47She always she like has the foresight.
1:07:50She has
1:07:51she has the spider sense
1:07:53>> [laughter]
1:07:54>> where she just knows things.
1:07:58Master, [music] I've gathered some
1:07:59>> She is the prophet.
1:08:01>> blooms. I hope it's helpful. Wait, guys,
1:08:03what if Bernice is the creator?
1:08:05Bernice is the creator in disguise.
1:08:08That's why she has so much knowledge
1:08:09about everything.
1:08:11The white wither blooms Romeo bought
1:08:13from Arcadea are commonly used as home
1:08:15decor.
1:08:17Besides their aesthetic value, their
1:08:18scent has calming and cooling
1:08:20properties. These flowers are no longer
1:08:23used in memorial rituals.
1:08:25The most recently recorded use of wither
1:08:27blooms for honoring the deceased appears
1:08:29in a newspaper photo from about 100
1:08:31years ago.
1:08:32It is believed to be a tradition from
1:08:34the old capital or an even earlier era.
1:08:36All right, that's my granny. 100 years
1:08:39ago?
1:08:40Why would she follow a tradition from
1:08:42that long ago? It's okay, in Inwize's
1:08:46and Bell's defense, they have not seen
1:08:48the lore teaser from the beginning of
1:08:50the game, okay? That was a lore teaser
1:08:52made purely for us, the player.
1:08:54All they know are the stories of the
1:08:57characters. They don't actually know
1:08:58what the characters look like. So,
1:09:01they wouldn't know that Ramiel is
1:09:03Lieutenant Dan or has bears a very
1:09:05striking resemblance to one of the old
1:09:08old void hunters.
1:09:11Um what do you think Proxy? Should we
1:09:13keep looking for?
1:09:15Of course. Of course. Now that we've got
1:09:18a new clue, we should hurry. Belle's
1:09:20right.
1:09:21We don't know her final destination yet,
1:09:23but I'll map out a route so we can catch
1:09:24up. Let's move.
1:09:27Okay.
1:09:31All right, all right.
1:09:32>> Cecilia and I are ready when you are,
1:09:34manager.
1:09:36Okey dokes, let's go into the hollow to
1:09:38chase Ramiel.
1:09:40Hello Cecilia. Based on the clue Bernice
1:09:43gave us, Ramiel's probably in the
1:09:45closest hollow. You ready manager? Let's
1:09:47get moving.
1:09:49Okay, time to explore.
1:09:52Let's strap in.
1:09:56Yeah guys, let's strap ourselves in to
1:09:58go find Ramiel.
1:09:59>> [laughter]
1:10:01>> Oh yeah.
1:10:02We'll be all strapped up when we see
1:10:04her.
1:10:05>> [laughter]
1:10:07>> So many Ethereals.
1:10:09Let's go around. Okay. That will take
1:10:11more Excuse me. Oh. Coming through. Yo.
1:10:14Yo Billy. Yo.
1:10:16Oh my god. All eyes on me. Okay. No need
1:10:21to go another way.
1:10:22>> aura form. Hey. It's showtime.
1:10:28Yo, show me your magical girl
1:10:29transformation.
1:10:31Rejoice. Oh. You've earned the honor
1:10:34Hey. SCORCHED BY STARLIGHT. Dimension
1:10:37burst. Star climb. Dude. STARLIGHT
1:10:41NIGHT, TRANSFORM.
1:10:43HOW DID this guy pass [laughter] the
1:10:45freaking portal?
1:10:48Running into me today. Yo Cecilia. Must
1:10:51be your lucky day.
1:10:52>> just call him a slur?
1:10:54>> [laughter]
1:10:54>> My brand new form. Upgraded with funds
1:10:57from Buster Call wallet.
1:10:58Come at me,
1:11:00all of you.
1:11:02They did him so dirty with that. That
1:11:05was so funny.
1:11:06Stop.
1:11:08>> [laughter]
1:11:10>> The cut out to the music is my favorite.
1:11:12That is my favorite bit. I love it. I
1:11:15love it whenever you have like the most
1:11:16dramatic thing and then they cut out to
1:11:19the person basically doing it IRL in
1:11:21reality.
1:11:22>> [laughter]
1:11:25>> That is my favorite trope. That is
1:11:27literally one of my favorite comedic
1:11:29bits.
1:11:30>> [laughter]
1:11:31>> And this is yeah, like
1:11:34How did this guy pass the forbidden
1:11:35fruit test? She just said, "How are you
1:11:38human?" She just called him sub
1:11:40subhuman.
1:11:41>> [laughter]
1:11:42>> It was like, "What's wrong with you?"
1:11:48No, that was so sick. That was really,
1:11:50really fun.
1:11:50>> Transformation complete.
1:11:52>> Okay, Billy.
1:11:54Let's go. I'm fortunate to get the super
1:11:57powerful form. Oh, yeah.
1:11:59Hey, charge. A motorcycle out of
1:12:01nowhere.
1:12:03That must be where the
1:12:05>> [laughter]
1:12:07>> Ah, THIS IS A MUST-HAVE FOR KNIGHTS. I'd
1:12:09willingly trade an arm for this. Why is
1:12:12it so legendary, too? Don't get the
1:12:14straw dirty.
1:12:15Hey guys, listen. Billy went all out for
1:12:18his dream, okay?
1:12:22It's worth it. It's worth it.
1:12:27NICELY DONE.
1:12:28>> YO, WAIT. YO, that finisher is so cool.
1:12:32Woah, woah, woah, woah. The way the
1:12:33camera moves to the angle, that's sick.
1:12:38Wait.
1:12:40Ah, just like the good old days.
1:12:46Yo. Yo, Mavica got nothing on this.
1:12:50together. Yo. Yo.
1:12:53Damn. [crying]
1:12:56Yo, Billy.
1:13:02Feels like they were left by Romeo.
1:13:04Follow me.
1:13:07Look, I'm going to I'm going to regret
1:13:09skipping him for Romiel. Hey, why not
1:13:11both?
1:13:12>> [laughter]
1:13:16>> Dude, no. Billy is so [ __ ]
1:13:18>> Under the blazing sun, an unseen army
1:13:21lays claim to the land. It's domination
1:13:24etched in searing pain.
1:13:27The raging winds whip the sands into a
1:13:29furious uprising against the sky.
1:13:33Two colossal beasts clash and tear one
1:13:36another fighting for the right to name
1:13:38this untamed world.
1:13:41My name is Bell walking through this
1:13:44brutal war, but I have no fear because I
1:13:48have the strongest, most reliable
1:13:51companion by my side. Before any
1:13:54disaster can even reach me, it will be
1:13:56turned to ash by his very presence.
1:13:59Oh, Billy. Billy, my companion, please
1:14:03help me.
1:14:04I need help. I may not say it out loud,
1:14:07but I'm truly grateful to my companion.
1:14:10More than once, I thought about giving
1:14:12him this month's or even next month's
1:14:15video store earnings just to free him
1:14:18from the burden of having it dance his
1:14:20pain.
1:14:23All I can say
1:14:25is that Billy truly has learned, okay?
1:14:27He truly has learned from Boss Nicole.
1:14:29Billy is a cunning hare through and
1:14:32through.
1:14:33>> [laughter]
1:14:34>> That is for sure.
1:14:38Only then could I truly express the
1:14:40gratitude in my heart.
1:14:43Thank you, S-Billy.
1:14:46Wait. That's not what thinking.
1:14:49Get up here, asked Billy. You take the
1:14:52lead, S Billy. You've been yapping
1:14:53behind me the whole way.
1:14:54>> Yeah, baby.
1:14:55>> And I'm not giving you a single denny of
1:14:56the video store's earnings.
1:14:58Billy put her foot down.
1:15:00>> [laughter]
1:15:01>> I just didn't want things to get boring,
1:15:04so I did the opening lines from the
1:15:05latest Starlight Night season.
1:15:08Pretty fitting, right? Mhm. Mhm. I The
1:15:11opening lines from the newest Starlight
1:15:12Night season are actually quite
1:15:15coincidentally relevant to our current
1:15:17situation. It's very interesting.
1:15:19Anyways, the point IS I'VE GOT NO
1:15:21WEAKNESSES NOW. No matter what's waiting
1:15:24ahead of us, we take the shortest route
1:15:26and charge straight through. For a
1:15:28second I thought he said I've got no
1:15:29witnesses now. Like what? He was going
1:15:31to
1:15:32He was going to mug us?
1:15:34For her dennies?
1:15:36Speak of the devil. We've got company.
1:15:39There's an abnormal signal ahead. But it
1:15:42doesn't seem to be Ethereals. Perfect
1:15:45timing.
1:15:46I couldn't really show what a Starlight
1:15:47Knight is actually capable of in the
1:15:49last fight.
1:15:51This time, I'll Huh?
1:15:54IT'S THAT GUY. WAIT, I wonder if it's
1:15:56the wolf guy, Romieu? Romieu from from
1:15:59Last Patch?
1:16:01A familiar figure appears.
1:16:03Oh.
1:16:05Wait, why is he dripped out? Wait. Wait,
1:16:09are we going to get to see
1:16:11Are we going to see
1:16:14a fight between
1:16:16Mecha Billy and Mecha Romieu?
1:16:22Romieu?
1:16:23Weren't you supposed to be locked up?
1:16:25Oh, no, wait. The hat's an intelligent
1:16:28construct.
1:16:30What's [music] going on?
1:16:32Cecilia's all of us.
1:16:33>> Yeah.
1:16:35It looks like he's had quite a few
1:16:36illegal modifications.
1:16:39Hey, listen, Billy. Not everyone can
1:16:40have their pay advanced a year, all
1:16:42right? Sometimes they got to make do
1:16:44with what they have.
1:16:48This is really strange. Why would
1:16:51someone build something like this?
1:16:53And
1:16:54why is it here?
1:16:57Hostile target detected. Initiating
1:17:01eradication mode.
1:17:03>> Yo, that ain't good.
1:17:04>> Well, this thing doesn't seem that
1:17:05intelligent after all. Time to show them
1:17:08the true power of a samurai Jack. NIGHT.
1:17:11LEAVE IT TO ME.
1:17:12>> [music]
1:17:13>> Billy got so much buff in this form.
1:17:15Woah.
1:17:16>> Unknown signal interference detected.
1:17:18Oh. Running diagnostics now.
1:17:22Don't worry. We'll take care of it in no
1:17:24time.
1:17:27Hey. Charge.
1:17:29Perfect dodge.
1:17:39Hey, now.
1:17:41Okay. RYDER DASH.
1:17:43BEWARE HER ARROWS. GET READY TO BE
1:17:45SHREDDED.
1:17:50HEY.
1:17:51>> [groaning]
1:17:54>> HOLY GUACAMOLE, I cannot tell what's
1:17:56happening.
1:17:57I'm looking losing a bit of FPS.
1:18:00Now, YOU'RE THE PREY.
1:18:07YO, HIS SWORD IS SO COOL THOUGH.
1:18:12>> [groaning]
1:18:14>> Like the way his sword has an afterimage
1:18:16is really sick. Go mule.
1:18:24>> [screaming]
1:18:25>> Yeehaw,
1:18:28bro.
1:18:30Yeehaw. What are you looking at?
1:18:38>> Okay.
1:18:40Starlight!
1:18:46Yo, okay. Mogbilly Mog.
1:18:51Could it be?
1:18:53Under sustained attack, mech Romual
1:18:56finally drops to the ground
1:18:57unresponsive.
1:18:59Don't worry.
1:19:00Enemies like this are NOTHING TO
1:19:02ASTROBILLY. BRING AS MANY AS YOU WANT.
1:19:07What the Why are there so many?
1:19:11Several mech Romual units appear one
1:19:13after another, gradually closing in like
1:19:15a pack of wolves on the hunt. Oh, come
1:19:18on. I JUST SAID THAT.
1:19:20IS EVERYTHING I SAY COMING TRUE TODAY OR
1:19:22SOMETHING?
1:19:23You know what? When we're out of the
1:19:25holo, I'm going to win the lottery, pay
1:19:28off my advance, AND STILL HAVE ENOUGH
1:19:30LEFT TO BUY THE LATEST STARLIGHT KNIGHT
1:19:32HOLO CARD. [screaming]
1:19:33>> YO, BILLY, just hook up with uh go link
1:19:35up with the Bernice. Bernice got your
1:19:36back.
1:19:38Bernice will get you that lottery ticket
1:19:39win. It's easy. It's light work for her.
1:19:42Also, I know a few people who'd be very
1:19:44happy about this development and things.
1:19:46>> [laughter]
1:19:47>> And you look at you look at the screen
1:19:48right now, there are some people
1:19:51some people in the fandom who'd be very
1:19:54happy with this turn of events.
1:19:58They're mass-produced. They're
1:20:00mass-produced?
1:20:01This is not good. There are too many of
1:20:03them.
1:20:04Hey, the more the merrier.
1:20:06Don't worry, manager. Fighting
1:20:08outnumbered is a Starlight Knight
1:20:10specialty.
1:20:12They're just a bunch of scrap metal.
1:20:14Just round THEM UP AND TAKE THEM OUT
1:20:16WITH A SINGLE DAZZLING ATTACK. YOU, IT'S
1:20:19been a while. Oh.
1:20:22It speaks?
1:20:23>> Bernice, you you can talk? Why is his
1:20:26personality different?
1:20:28You can talk, too. What What so
1:20:30surprised about?
1:20:31>> [laughter]
1:20:31>> Running you here was well within my
1:20:34calculations.
1:20:35>> I'll just say Yo. I'd say there are a
1:20:38few unexpected surprises. Your new toys
1:20:42look way more fun than what I've got
1:20:44here.
1:20:46That way of talking. Why does it feel
1:20:48oddly
1:20:50It's Yo Kai. It's Yo Kai. It's Yo Kai.
1:20:53Oh my god. Yo Kai. Yo Yo Yo Kai.
1:21:02The AI I'm definitely not down bad for
1:21:04just because of the voice. Not at all.
1:21:05Not at all. I don't know what you're
1:21:07talking about. I don't know what you
1:21:09What way of talking?
1:21:11Why does it feel oddly familiar? If this
1:21:13is not Yo Kai I'm going to be so
1:21:14embarrassed. All right. Of course you
1:21:17wouldn't recognize me like this. Here,
1:21:20my business card.
1:21:23What business card?
1:21:26Oh.
1:21:27No.
1:21:28Billy.
1:21:30Villager.
1:21:31Something's wrong. I can't
1:21:33>> I can't move.
1:21:35Yo Kai, get the [ __ ] out. Leave Billy
1:21:38alone.
1:21:39Leave Billy alone.
1:21:42I don't know what's going on.
1:21:44Billy's systems are reading normal and
1:21:47I'm not detecting any either based
1:21:48attacks. It's a multi vector
1:21:52Trojan.
1:21:53BUT MY FIREWALL IS BRAND NEW.
1:21:55>> [screaming]
1:21:56>> HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE? DUDE, that's
1:21:59so scary.
1:22:02Because the thing is the intelligent
1:22:03constructs that have passed the
1:22:05forbidden fruit test, they have
1:22:06consciousness like regular people,
1:22:07right? Imagine being a like imagine
1:22:11yourself, right? Being able to be
1:22:14literally hacked. Like just your brain,
1:22:17your body, everything.
1:22:19Being able to be hacked by something
1:22:21else.
1:22:23That thought is just like it's so it's
1:22:24so violating. It's so
1:22:27It's so scary.
1:22:32No firewall can hold against Trojans
1:22:36forever. There will always be one that
1:22:39finds its way through in a closed
1:22:42network like this. Release millions of
1:22:45Trojans in a second and one will
1:22:48inevitably break through the walls
1:22:50unless your opponents can build millions
1:22:53of walls just as fast.
1:22:57I'm just getting triggered cuz now I'm
1:22:58thinking of scalpers.
1:23:00>> [laughter]
1:23:01>> Like you you have a bunch of people you
1:23:02have a bunch of fans, you know, you have
1:23:04so many thousands of thousands of fans,
1:23:07you know, trying to ticket trying to get
1:23:09tickets for their favorite group and
1:23:10then you have these [ __ ] ass scalpers
1:23:12sitting here with their army of bots
1:23:14just throwing them at the wall and then
1:23:17and then those bots, you know, no matter
1:23:19how many
1:23:20how many safeguards there are there put
1:23:22in place the bots will get through
1:23:24anyways.
1:23:26I'm getting triggered. I'm getting
1:23:27triggered. Now then, aren't you going to
1:23:30come out and say hello, fairy?
1:23:35You're not Romeo.
1:23:37You are
1:23:38Yo-kai?
1:23:39Yo-kai, why are you here? And why are
1:23:42you using Romeo's identity?
1:23:46Don't spoil the fun of our little
1:23:48hunting game.
1:23:50Well then, hunters who become the prey,
1:23:53your guns won't fire anymore. So tell
1:23:57me, how will you survive when the wolves
1:24:01start closing in?
1:24:04Y'all, we'll bend over.
1:24:15>> [clears throat]
1:24:19>> Sorry, did you hear something?
1:24:21Did you guys hear something?
1:24:22That was so weird.
1:24:24That must have been the wind. You know,
1:24:25I think that the wind's very strong
1:24:27right now. I think there's some dust
1:24:28getting There's some dust getting in the
1:24:30way. Oh, also water redeemed. Oh,
1:24:32thanks, guys. Thanks. I will hydrate.
1:24:34You Yep, you guys should too.
1:24:45There we go. There we go.
1:24:47Stay hydrated, y'all. Stay hydrated. You
1:24:49don't want to end up a little too
1:24:50thirsty.
1:24:55DON'T DON'T DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME. IT'S A
1:24:57new wind element, exactly. Exactly.
1:24:59Cecilia, pro- PRO- PROTECT THE MANAGER.
1:25:02Velina has just come a little bit early,
1:25:04okay?
1:25:06It's all good.
1:25:08Are you ready, my prey? I'm going to
1:25:11start counting down.
1:25:14Three.
1:25:16Two.
1:25:17Yo, Promia. The hunt begins.
1:25:20Oh my gosh, okay.
1:25:23Promia. Yo, that angle was [music]
1:25:24crazy.
1:25:31Dude.
1:25:35Come here.
1:25:37The way Promia fights when she's cloaked
1:25:39is so cool.
1:25:41I love the movements. Whose orders are
1:25:43you following? Like cuz the thing is I
1:25:46know she when she takes off her cloak in
1:25:48her alter whatever, she doesn't have any
1:25:49more. Whenever she is restrained like
1:25:51this and she just uses her legs, like
1:25:53her combat style is so unique because
1:25:56she can't really use her upper body like
1:25:59most other characters. So, I just I love
1:26:01it. Like I feel like the variety in the
1:26:03combat style, it just makes her look so
1:26:05so cool.
1:26:08Promia had a backup plan. She traps Mech
1:26:10Romuald hoping to extract some useful
1:26:12information, but the light in its eyes
1:26:13flickers briefly then goes was dark. It
1:26:16was forcibly shut down.
1:26:19It's gone.
1:26:24Yeah, Tristesse is probably still really
1:26:26terrified of her, right?
1:26:29Thank you.
1:26:30Thank you, Premia.
1:26:32If you hadn't Hold on.
1:26:34Come out.
1:26:35You know there's no point in hiding.
1:26:39It is an honor to meet you, Judge
1:26:42Premia.
1:26:43Let me be clear up front. What just
1:26:46happened to you all has
1:26:49nothing to do with me. Oh, I'm sure.
1:26:54Are these mechs Rusty Cliffs assets? I
1:26:57have no clue. My job is to monitor and
1:27:01ensure the transport route stays secure.
1:27:04Don't blame me for staying out of it.
1:27:08It's way above my pay grade. Trust me. I
1:27:12just work here. I'm just a grunt, guys.
1:27:15I'm just a secretary, okay? Don't say
1:27:17anything unnecessary.
1:27:20I know your every move.
1:27:22Like if this guy is trying to not be
1:27:24suspicious, he maybe he should get some
1:27:27acting classes
1:27:28because the way he's acting
1:27:31is completely contradictory to the
1:27:33things he say.
1:27:36Sometimes I feel like the villains just
1:27:38they don't even try. They're not even
1:27:39trying. Bro's like, "Yeah, I'm just a
1:27:42grunt. I definitely don't know what's
1:27:45going on here. Trust me. Just trust me."
1:27:49Yeah, right.
1:27:51Of course.
1:27:53Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here
1:27:55in one piece.
1:27:57We were notified a few days ago that a
1:27:59Krampus judge would be coming to
1:28:00investigate, but I didn't think it would
1:28:03be you. Is like I'm chopped liver to you
1:28:05or something? He doesn't use his hands
1:28:06to eat either.
1:28:07>> [laughter]
1:28:08>> Got it. It's because most of the
1:28:10characters use their hands. So then her
1:28:12play style is very unique. Like even
1:28:13looking at Promare and Lycaon, their
1:28:15styles are so different, right? It's
1:28:17just really cool. Last warning.
1:28:20Don't say anything unnecessary. Mhm.
1:28:24Understood. Leave.
1:28:27And when you report back,
1:28:29tell your superiors,
1:28:31don't cross the line.
1:28:34But, I'm not done monitoring the route
1:28:36yet. If I can't confirm that it's
1:28:37secure, that big guy's firepower would
1:28:39be
1:28:42Nice, dude. Good job.
1:28:45>> [laughter]
1:28:45>> Understood.
1:28:47I'm heading back to deliver the message
1:28:48now.
1:28:52The Rusty Cliff contact leaves without
1:28:53looking back. All right, I'll cut to the
1:28:55chase.
1:28:56It's getting more dangerous here by the
1:28:58minute.
1:28:59Leave now.
1:29:01Don't stick around.
1:29:04More dangerous?
1:29:05Because of Rusty Cliff Corp?
1:29:08How much do you know?
1:29:11You fill Promare in on what you heard
1:29:12from Caesar. Rusty Cliff promised they'd
1:29:15keep a low profile and wouldn't disrupt
1:29:18normal life in the outer ring.
1:29:20Looks like they're starting to cross
1:29:21that line.
1:29:22Go home.
1:29:24You don't need to get caught up in this.
1:29:26She's trying to protect us. No, we can't
1:29:29go back yet.
1:29:30Reason.
1:29:33We're looking for Ramiel. It's about the
1:29:35competition. We're looking for Ramiel.
1:29:37It's about the competition.
1:29:40You bring Promare up to speed on
1:29:41everything to see and Billy know.
1:29:44So,
1:29:45that's the situation.
1:29:47We'll do our best to avoid tops.
1:29:49Whatever their goal is, as long as it's
1:29:52not related to Ramiel, there's no reason
1:29:54for us to get involved.
1:29:58It's definitely related to Ramiel.
1:30:01Dot dot dot. I'll go with you.
1:30:04You mean you'll help us look for her?
1:30:06Yes.
1:30:07Rusty Cliff won't bother you with me by
1:30:09your side.
1:30:11Hey.
1:30:12Wait.
1:30:14Ah, yes.
1:30:15This is way too suspicious. You're with
1:30:18Tops. Why would you suddenly help us?
1:30:21This has nothing to do with your
1:30:22mission. You also see how surreal for
1:30:24that though. Random Tops employee comes
1:30:27helping us after everything she's been
1:30:30through. I can't disclose the details of
1:30:32my mission.
1:30:33But I'll tell you what I can. I'm
1:30:35investigating the big guy that contact
1:30:39mentioned.
1:30:40It was suddenly deployed after the
1:30:42incident at the competition.
1:30:45Oh, I wonder if big guy is like
1:30:49Romuald.
1:30:50The actual Romuald cuz we there's a
1:30:52bunch of Romuald clones right now,
1:30:54right?
1:30:55But maybe there's one big boss Romuald
1:30:59that has been transformed.
1:31:01>> [laughter]
1:31:01>> And he's all just the weaker versions.
1:31:03In addition,
1:31:05according to Krampus intel, Rusty Cliff
1:31:07is also actively searching for Romuald.
1:31:10Following those leads led me to you.
1:31:13I'm afraid this is not a coincidence.
1:31:15Dude, why did they name Romuald Romuald,
1:31:18Remuald, and then they named Romuald
1:31:20Romuald?
1:31:22Why are all the names so similar? I know
1:31:24they're probably based off of mythology
1:31:26and things like that, but
1:31:28>> [laughter]
1:31:30>> it's so so many tongue twisters. So, I
1:31:33want to find her, too, and ask her what
1:31:36she took from Rusty Cliff
1:31:38or
1:31:39what Rusty Cliff wants from her.
1:31:44So,
1:31:45the incident at the competition,
1:31:47Romuald's whereabouts, Rusty Cliff's
1:31:50operations in the outer ring,
1:31:52these are likely not separate events.
1:31:54They're all connected by an invisible
1:31:56thread, and Romuald's holding the other
1:31:58end of it.
1:32:00Let's team up then. Krampus can be
1:32:02trusted.
1:32:03Let's team up, then. No matter what the
1:32:05rest of TOPS is like, Krampus can be
1:32:07trusted. Seems my colleagues left a good
1:32:09impression.
1:32:11Don't worry.
1:32:12I'll make sure I live up to it.
1:32:15We got some besties in Krampus.
1:32:18There we go.
1:32:20I can move now. The few good eggs
1:32:22amongst the TOPS organization.
1:32:25A comprehensive scan and cleanup have
1:32:27been performed on Billy.
1:32:29His firewall has been updated to isolate
1:32:31unauthorized data packets disguised as
1:32:33local holo environment data. Especially
1:32:36deceptive distress signals tagged
1:32:39Starlight Knight. Oh.
1:32:42What was that last part? That's oddly
1:32:44specific.
1:32:46Was that what got Billy?
1:32:48Wait. This BM ass little [ __ ]
1:32:57Bro,
1:32:58literally
1:33:00hacked him.
1:33:01And then named the hack Starlight
1:33:04Knight.
1:33:06Yo-kai, you BM [ __ ]
1:33:09>> Oh, anyway, thank you so much. Vanish's
1:33:12AI assistant rocks. That's just so
1:33:14toxic.
1:33:16for protecting the manager back there. I
1:33:18won't forget that.
1:33:19Dude, Yo-kai would get immediately chat
1:33:21restricted.
1:33:23Actually, no, he wouldn't cuz he would
1:33:24hack. He would hack the servers and
1:33:26unrestrict his account or their account.
1:33:28[laughter]
1:33:30Thanks for helping, Louie.
1:33:35Hm?
1:33:36Pardon?
1:33:37Louie, Louie, Louie.
1:33:40I said, "This Popsicle officer will be
1:33:44watching you. The second I spot any
1:33:47suspicious behavior, I
1:33:50will call in a truckload of backup from
1:33:53Public Security."
1:33:55Stop. Wait, their dynamic is so well
1:33:57written.
1:33:57>> Okay.
1:33:59Noted.
1:34:04Wait.
1:34:06Cecilia and
1:34:08Prometheus' dialogue
1:34:11is so good. Also, wait. I can just fully
1:34:14see her ass.
1:34:15When she runs, I'm just fully looking at
1:34:17her ass.
1:34:21It's easy to be wearing lighter color.
1:34:24So, it's it pops out even more.
1:34:30Okay, interesting.
1:34:32Interesting endless. What was I saying
1:34:33before?
1:34:34Romeo!
1:34:36It's her feathers.
1:34:38Massive faded ethereal.
1:34:41These faded ethereals, we've seen them
1:34:43before.
1:34:44Romeo did this.
1:34:47We don't need to fight, but they're
1:34:48totally blocking the way.
1:34:51Let's move them out of the way together.
1:34:55A sculpture-like ethereal is blocking
1:34:56your path.
1:34:58The group spends some time moving it
1:34:59aside. A bit of a hassle, but still
1:35:01better than fighting.
1:35:03All right. Let's keep going.
1:35:06What was I saying? Oh, yeah. Cecilia and
1:35:09Romeo Romeo, Cecilia and Prometheus
1:35:13their their interactions and dynamic and
1:35:16dialogue are so so good. Like, I'm so
1:35:19glad that they are still, you know,
1:35:22making Cecilia super in character in the
1:35:24sense that she absolutely does not trust
1:35:26Promethia whatsoever. Which totally
1:35:29makes sense for what she's been through
1:35:30and what she's experienced with her.
1:35:32Like, that trauma is not something that
1:35:33goes away immediately, right? That's
1:35:35something that takes a lot of time to
1:35:37kind of get over, so.
1:35:38>> of other ethereals.
1:35:41The relationship building is
1:35:43>> first.
1:35:45very good.
1:35:47Really cool.
1:35:48>> to toy with your enemies,
1:35:50you can save it for last.
1:35:53Oh, no.
1:35:55We'd rather just get it over with.
1:35:57Right, manager?
1:35:59Yeah, we will. Let's focus our fire on
1:36:01that mandrake.
1:36:01>> We don't We don't play with our food,
1:36:03okay, Promethia? It's all good.
1:36:05The distance is just right. Dude.
1:36:08Promethia's animations are so sick.
1:36:11Farewell.
1:36:15When [screaming] she hangs in the air
1:36:16there,
1:36:18God.
1:36:19Uh It's going to be so hard to skip her.
1:36:21>> [laughter]
1:36:23>> But I must.
1:36:24>> All the routes
1:36:25>> Look forward. Ramiel, Savarian,
1:36:28>> walking to the same ether fissure.
1:36:28Storykeeper,
1:36:30Sunbringer, Age. If Ramiel was to pass
1:36:33through that
1:36:34fissure,
1:36:37>> You must look to the future.
1:36:39You must exercise self-control.
1:36:42Come on.
1:36:44It'll be worth it.
1:36:50Etho surges through a fissure that
1:36:51appeared out of nowhere. Only way
1:36:52forward is to go through.
1:36:56Okey dokes.
1:37:04No, the joke is that Billy made his
1:37:06password password and he got easily
1:37:07hacked by Yo-kai? Oh, did I miss a trick
1:37:09or what happened?
1:37:10>> [laughter]
1:37:11>> There are fewer ethereal blocking our
1:37:13way.
1:37:14God dammit, Billy.
1:37:16>> Someone has already been through here
1:37:17and cleared the path.
1:37:19Oh, Billy. Billy, not like this.
1:37:24Their way worked in our favor.
1:37:28No matter how strong your firewall is,
1:37:31That means we're getting closer, right?
1:37:35No matter how strong your firewall is,
1:37:38>> Almost there. if your firewall can get
1:37:40turned off, it's GG.
1:37:42>> [laughter]
1:37:46>> I will carry out
1:37:48your execution.
1:37:52Oh my god, that's so cool.
1:37:55>> set.
1:37:59I actually really like how it seems like
1:38:01she actually keeps her coat on for most
1:38:03of her attack. This ends here.
1:38:07Immediate execution.
1:38:10Cuz I know she takes off her coat
1:38:11sometimes, but it's only very brief.
1:38:14I see the either fissure right up ahead.
1:38:17Cuz I I think she actually looks cooler
1:38:18with the coat on.
1:38:20>> [laughter]
1:38:21>> Personally.
1:38:23Ethersurge is to a fissure that appeared
1:38:25out of nowhere. The only way forward is
1:38:27Oh, okay.
1:38:31This route's uncharted territory.
1:38:32There's no way to predict where it might
1:38:34take you. Stay sharp out there, Bell.
1:38:38The either fissure keeps expanding like
1:38:39toothpaste being squeezed endlessly
1:38:41until the irregularly fluctuating either
1:38:43fills the entire passage.
1:38:45Soon, the passage reaches its end its
1:38:47end [music]
1:38:48and the surroundings gradually
1:38:49stabilize. You are prepared to step into
1:38:51the unknown territory. But what appears
1:38:53before you is
1:38:54Oh.
1:38:56This place is Wait.
1:39:00Wait, is this the same place that we saw
1:39:02from before?
1:39:04Like where the memorial?
1:39:08But I thought that was outside of the
1:39:09hollow.
1:39:12Or did it get Did it get swallowed by
1:39:14the hollow?
1:39:15Because that was also in the
1:39:19outer ring. It's different. Oh, okay.
1:39:21Okay. It's the chasm memorial. Didn't
1:39:24expect the fissure to lead us back here.
1:39:26>> a different memorial. It just looks
1:39:27similar. Uh,
1:39:29we didn't lose our trail, did we?
1:39:31Should we have not gone through that
1:39:32fissure?
1:39:34Is it too late to go back?
1:39:36Let's not jump to conclusions. I think
1:39:38we're on the right track.
1:39:40Look. Yeah, I assume the flowers that
1:39:41she left are here.
1:39:43Ahead at the memorial, a bouquet of
1:39:45white flowers is slotted into the
1:39:46netting of the fence. They're similar to
1:39:48lilies, but looking closely, there are
1:39:50unique patterns on the edges of the
1:39:51petals, like black marks left by burning
1:39:53flames.
1:39:55A slightly sour fragrance wafts from the
1:39:57bouquet,
1:39:58as if radiating a distinct loneliness.
1:40:01So, this is what wither blooms are like.
1:40:04The flowers are still fresh. If it was
1:40:06really Ramiel who left them, she
1:40:08couldn't have gone far.
1:40:11But, where should we go now?
1:40:13The trail ends here, and there's no one
1:40:15around to ask.
1:40:17Why did she come here? Why leave these
1:40:20flowers?
1:40:21What could it mean?
1:40:23I mean, I feel like
1:40:26Ramiel leaving the flowers here, the
1:40:27meaning is pretty obvious.
1:40:29>> [laughter]
1:40:31>> She left flowers at a memorial.
1:40:34The The flowers that she chose are from
1:40:36a, you know,
1:40:39tradition from 100 years ago.
1:40:41>> [laughter]
1:40:42>> So, I feel like the flower specifically
1:40:44is uh pretty
1:40:46easy to decipher. [laughter]
1:40:49But, what she's probably referring to is
1:40:51why is she
1:40:53commemorating the people here from so
1:40:55long ago. That's the That's the proper
1:40:57question that's being asked here. Maybe
1:41:00they're for a friend who passed away.
1:41:02But, why wither blooms? They're so
1:41:04old-fashioned.
1:41:06This must have some special meaning to
1:41:07her.
1:41:08We just don't have enough information
1:41:10yet. Over 100 years ago, the alias
1:41:13Ramiel.
1:41:15Pink hair. Oh. Are we putting the clues
1:41:17together?
1:41:18>> Did you think of something? No, it's
1:41:20nothing. Just some wild
1:41:22>> Hey, Belle, share with the class. Over
1:41:23100 years ago, around the time old Eridu
1:41:27was founded. Could Ramiel be connected
1:41:29to that history somehow?
1:41:31Pink hair.
1:41:33Could it be?
1:41:35No.
1:41:36No, that's not possible. Hey, Val, don't
1:41:39knock it. Anyway, the trail's gone cold.
1:41:41>> Wait till you see Sunbringer girl. We
1:41:42won't find anything [laughter] useful if
1:41:43we stay here.
1:41:45Let's head back to Blazewood and rest
1:41:46up. Sounds good. Lighter and the others
1:41:48should be back from patrol by now.
1:41:50>> Lighter. Maybe they've got some new
1:41:52clues. Lighter. Lighter. We get to see
1:41:54L- I should also find a place with a
1:41:56signal to report our progress.
1:41:59Let's go.
1:42:02And so, the group sets off for
1:42:04Blazewood. Meanwhile, on a distant
1:42:05cliff, a figure stands motionless like a
1:42:07statue, seemingly having seemingly
1:42:10having made up their mind about
1:42:11something.
1:42:13Oh.
1:42:14What the hell is this? What are you
1:42:16looking at? Memories.
1:42:20But your memories shouldn't be here.
1:42:24I'm looking at your memories.
1:42:27Hm.
1:42:28Relax. It's not an interrogation.
1:42:32You don't have to answer. Wait, is this
1:42:34that thing that appeared
1:42:37in
1:42:38the holo before? You know, when we were
1:42:40first speculating about Sunbringer or
1:42:43that weird that entity being inside the
1:42:45holo?
1:42:48When we were still dealing with the
1:42:49controller with with with the creator
1:42:51stuff? I just thought Okay, wait.
1:42:53Probably not.
1:42:54>> our partnership,
1:42:56we should get to know each other a
1:42:57little better.
1:42:59We have the same goal.
1:43:01It's not exactly the same though, right?
1:43:06What is this symbol? The answers I want
1:43:09from Sunbringer
1:43:10and the answers you
1:43:12want from Sunbringer. Oh, is this just a
1:43:14random Tops machine? Are they really the
1:43:17same?
1:43:19Dot dot dot. Hey now, no need to be so
1:43:22tense.
1:43:23At least until I get my answer. I'm
1:43:26perfectly happy to keep working with
1:43:27you.
1:43:29Wait, no, it's probably not Tops. Maybe
1:43:31this is like from the Exaltus, Carol
1:43:34Arna? And I hope we can [music] remain
1:43:36partners even after that. Carol Arna
1:43:39maybe? Maybe she's using a machine or
1:43:41her consciousness is in this machine.
1:43:43Well,
1:43:44that depends. Are you consistent inside
1:43:48and out just like that, Miss Model
1:43:51Citizen? Consistent inside
1:43:53and out?
1:43:56Who said this? I can't remember.
1:43:58Dot dot dot. Come to think of it,
1:44:01maybe it's time I paid her a visit for
1:44:03another round of our Q&A game.
1:44:13Hmm.
1:44:21Okay, guesses. Oh my god, I see Lyra. I
1:44:23see Lyra. I see Lyra.
1:44:25Okay, guesses.
1:44:28I don't think it's Tops. I think Tops is
1:44:30following Ramiel, but she's not actually
1:44:32working with them. So, I think this is
1:44:34either someone someone from the Exaltus
1:44:37or I mean I guess Carol Arna
1:44:38technically, you know, is with the
1:44:40Exaltus from what we saw before. So, I
1:44:43think that actually might be like Carol
1:44:45Arna
1:44:47for some reason.
1:44:49Because it looks like
1:44:52she's also looking for answers from
1:44:54Sunbringer, which is probably related is
1:44:56100% related to the fall of New fall of
1:44:59Eredu.
1:45:00Or
1:45:02yeah, I don't know. We'll see. We'll
1:45:04see.
1:45:05Oh, [ __ ]
1:45:07Anything connected to Tops is trouble.
1:45:09We'll take turns keeping watch. Proxy,
1:45:12you guys can stay here tonight without
1:45:14worrying.
1:45:15Guys.
1:45:17Guys, we have to look our we have to
1:45:19look our Sunday best, okay? Come on.
1:45:21Come on, Lyra. Lyra.
1:45:24Lyra and Lucy.
1:45:27Whatever goes on in the city is none of
1:45:29business.
1:45:30But if they show up here acting like the
1:45:32outer ring is their personal playground,
1:45:35then maybe it's time to get a taste of
1:45:37Blazewood's hospitality.
1:45:39>> Yo, bro, I want your hospitality, bro. I
1:45:41want
1:45:42>> [laughter]
1:45:43>> Yo, why don't give me your hospitality,
1:45:45please?
1:45:48Please, one chance, one chance, one
1:45:49chance. One chance, lighter. I beg. I
1:45:52beg.
1:45:52>> [gasps]
1:45:53>> This is all I need. I need
1:45:54>> [laughter]
1:45:58>> Thank you, guys.
1:45:59We're just chasing one mystery after
1:46:01another.
1:46:02Thank you, guys.
1:46:03Romuald, Rusty Cliff, that mechanical
1:46:06Romuald.
1:46:07Man, it feels like we've been chasing
1:46:09one mystery after another all day.
1:46:13Mystery, schmestery. [laughter]
1:46:16With this specialist here, I'll just
1:46:19I'll devour the pieces. Did she just
1:46:21bite her tongue?
1:46:23With that, Cecelia resumes her struggle
1:46:25with a bag of particularly tough jerk.
1:46:28Saul, I want jerky now.
1:46:31Cecelia, need a hand? Check it out. My
1:46:35new armor's got fingertip micro thruster
1:46:37assist.
1:46:46That is not what I meant to press. That
1:46:48is not what I meant to press.
1:46:49>> [laughter]
1:46:51>> Yeah, guys, I I meant to press this. I
1:46:53meant to press this.
1:46:57Saying that Billy
1:47:00has fingertip micro thrusters
1:47:05is crazy work.
1:47:12What you using those thrusters for,
1:47:13Billy, huh?
1:47:14Huh?
1:47:15Huh? You have thrusters in your fingers
1:47:17now? Hmm. That must mean that your
1:47:19finger game is very strong.
1:47:22I [laughter] guess.
1:47:23Right, Billy? Right, right.
1:47:29Ah, stop. Dumb ass, you almost got
1:47:31tricked by the enemy. Hands off my
1:47:33snacks.
1:47:34>> He can test me. How is crazy? Hey,
1:47:38don't be so mean. I mean, earlier you
1:47:40were all like
1:47:42Shoot. Shoot. Go chat with them. Don't
1:47:45even think about my jerky.
1:47:48Meanwhile, Cecilia is gnawing on the
1:47:49jerky on the side.
1:47:51Meanwhile, Premia stays unusually quiet
1:47:53as if she's deep in thought.
1:47:55>> [laughter]
1:47:56>> Strange.
1:47:58Rusty Cliff is more impatient than I
1:48:00expected. And then Premia is in her own
1:48:02world. She's She's locking in. Premia
1:48:05been locked in actually. Premia?
1:48:08Hm?
1:48:08Is something wrong, Premia? The
1:48:10mechanical Ramiel we encountered in the
1:48:12Hollow and [music] the
1:48:15big guy, the Rusty Cliff contact
1:48:17mentioned.
1:48:19They're rushing to deploy it,
1:48:21stirring up chaos in the outer ring and
1:48:23risking Krampus's attention. They must
1:48:26feel
1:48:28threatened.
1:48:29Threatened? Who could possibly threaten
1:48:31Tops? Those monsters
1:48:34those big shots.
1:48:36>> [laughter]
1:48:38>> Oh Oh, I Hey Hey, she caught it. She
1:48:40caught it. Listen, Cecilia is very
1:48:44She's very open with her words, but she
1:48:46does know when to
1:48:48keep it zipped up. Maybe they're running
1:48:50out of time.
1:48:52Or maybe it's Ramiel.
1:48:54That W engine she took.
1:48:56She must know something even Tops' upper
1:48:59ranks would fear.
1:49:01Or
1:49:02perhaps
1:49:04she possesses something they desperately
1:49:06want.
1:49:07>> Yo, who wouldn't desperately want
1:49:08Ramiel? Let's be so real.
1:49:10I also desperately want her, too. Okay,
1:49:12Tops and I were in the same boat here,
1:49:14but Tops can [ __ ] off.
1:49:16Looks like we need to find Ramiel as
1:49:17soon as possible. Looks like we need to
1:49:19find Ramiel soon. We pinned down her
1:49:21general movements today
1:49:23>> [music]
1:49:23>> and she might still be somewhere nearby.
1:49:25If we expand the search tomorrow, we're
1:49:26bound to find something. Indeed.
1:49:30Right now, Sons of Caledon stretch
1:49:32pretty thin. Yo, I'll be stretched If
1:49:34something urgent comes up and you need
1:49:36help,
1:49:37just say the word.
1:49:40Lighter. Lighter, spend a night with me
1:49:42and I'll be stretched pretty
1:49:43>> [laughter]
1:49:54>> Listen,
1:49:55I miss him, okay?
1:49:57I've missed him.
1:49:58Let me Let me have my moment.
1:50:00Let me have my moment with my boy.
1:50:03Leave me alone. Don't judge me.
1:50:05Don't judge me. I'm having a great I'm
1:50:10I'm vibing right now, okay?
1:50:13Mhm, let's put that trouble aside for
1:50:15now. Hey Lighter, I heard you're the
1:50:16champion.
1:50:18So, have you ever met the Caledon
1:50:21Reaper?
1:50:22Are they as terrifying as the stories
1:50:24say?
1:50:25>> [laughter]
1:50:26>> I've heard a few stories.
1:50:28They say they're the quiet type, deadly,
1:50:31ruthless,
1:50:32moves like a shadow.
1:50:34Then again, who knows? Maybe they're
1:50:36actually the kind who budgets carefully
1:50:38just to take photos at fancy
1:50:39restaurants.
1:50:41Aw,
1:50:41that's so cute. That's so cute.
1:50:47Bro, I was being vague but then that's
1:50:49Billy. That's his big bro. That's his
1:50:52big bro.
1:50:58Rumors aren't always trustworthy.
1:51:00Sometimes survival means cultivating a
1:51:02little bad rep.
1:51:03>> Don't look at me like that. Dude. Dude.
1:51:07Keep your glasses on, bro. I
1:51:13If you look like me like that, I'm going
1:51:14to misbehave.
1:51:15>> After all, plenty of people say the
1:51:17sweepers are demons who've done every
1:51:19terrible thing imaginable. And yet here
1:51:21you are, working alongside one of those
1:51:24demons.
1:51:28I'll become a demon for you, lighter.
1:51:30I'll
1:51:34Give me one chance. Give me one chance
1:51:35and I'll show you a real demon. I'll
1:51:37show New Eridu a real a real demon.
1:51:41Round these parts. I swear to god. I
1:51:43swear to one chance, lighter. One
1:51:44chance.
1:51:45One chance.
1:51:49Don't look at me like that.
1:51:51I have no intention of making excuses
1:51:53for the reputation I earned in the past.
1:51:58Cecilia shrinks back a little and falls
1:52:00silent.
1:52:04Let the past stay in the past. What
1:52:06matters is the present and what comes
1:52:07next.
1:52:09All right. All right. Let's leave the
1:52:12past where it belongs. What matters is
1:52:14the present and what comes next. We
1:52:16still have to look for Romeo tomorrow.
1:52:18So everyone should get some rest.
1:52:20Cecilia, stop snacking already. You're
1:52:22going to give yourself indigestion.
1:52:25I'll just
1:52:27Just give me
1:52:29Just a minute.
1:52:31Whenever Cecilia snacks, it makes me
1:52:33want to snack.
1:52:34>> [laughter]
1:52:35>> The campfire crackles softly and the
1:52:37night's chill seems to ease a little.
1:52:42My god. Wait, where's lighter? Lighter,
1:52:43lighter, where'd you go?
1:52:45Wait, lighter, where'd you go?
1:52:49Why are you here?
1:52:52Wait, where's lighter? What? Oh, move.
1:52:56Move, [ __ ] Move. Oh my god, they're
1:52:59blocking me. They're blocking me.
1:53:03Dude, move, Casa.
1:53:07Get out. Oh.
1:53:10No.
1:53:17I'm being cockblocked.
1:53:19I'm being [ __ ]
1:53:21I'm being blocked.
1:53:25This is fine.
1:53:26This is fine.
1:53:28This is actually so fine. I'll just I'll
1:53:31just look at him from afar like a
1:53:32stalker.
1:53:34I I
1:53:36It's fine. It's all good.
1:53:40Hey. Hey.
1:53:45Real quick.
1:53:46Real quick.
1:53:50Hold up.
1:53:55One second, guys.
1:54:00I'm just a very big fan, okay? Like
1:54:02Please understand. Okay.
1:54:05Um all right.
1:54:08What are What are we chatting over here?
1:54:10Let's see a Premia. Actually, wait. I
1:54:12really like watching the interactions.
1:54:13Hey. [laughter]
1:54:15Why do you keep staring at me?
1:54:18Uh
1:54:19I'm warning you. D- Don't get any ideas.
1:54:23I'm not the kid who ran crying all those
1:54:25years ago anymore.
1:54:27I've got friends now.
1:54:28Proxy is as strong as Faith in the
1:54:30second in command of the cunning hares.
1:54:33And I'm now a specialist for public
1:54:35security. I even got a big shot boss who
1:54:39um really values me, I think. The demon
1:54:43king. Huh.
1:54:45I'm not scared of you anymore.
1:54:50Stop. Premia is so fun. She's like
1:54:52you're She's like
1:54:54You're so adorable.
1:54:57You guys okay? It just got kind of
1:54:59weird.
1:55:01Guys,
1:55:02are you good?
1:55:04Is something going on?
1:55:07Oh, we're good.
1:55:09What could possibly be wrong? It's just
1:55:11cheap Hey!
1:55:12Stop staring at me.
1:55:14Oh, sorry.
1:55:16I was just
1:55:18reminded of something from the past.
1:55:23Permea looks up, gazing into the
1:55:24distance. The same kind of stars, the
1:55:27same kind of night. Her thoughts drift
1:55:29back to the day they first met.
1:55:31Oh.
1:55:35All clear.
1:55:37Stop, she looks so good here.
1:55:41Look at Okay, I don't usually take I
1:55:43don't I don't usually take screenshots
1:55:44of the comics, but I
1:55:47I need it. I need it. She's so
1:55:50She This angle, oh my god, this does her
1:55:53so much justice. Like
1:55:57dot dot dot
1:55:58Blood in my gacha game.
1:56:02WAIT, THIS RING'S STRAIGHT UP PLASTIC.
1:56:04WE FOUGHT HER FOR NOTHING.
1:56:06Just two left.
1:56:09Let's leave. If we don't get out of here
1:56:10before the sweepers are back, we're done
1:56:12for.
1:56:14dot dot dot
1:56:16Not my target.
1:56:20Found you.
1:56:22You're the last ones.
1:56:24She's so scary here.
1:56:26>> [laughter]
1:56:27>> Oh.
1:56:30Dude, look at baby Sessia. Stop, baby
1:56:33Sessia is so adorable. Every time I look
1:56:35at her, I'm like I just
1:56:37want to give her a hug.
1:56:40Oh.
1:56:41This angle is
1:56:45Oh, no, baby.
1:56:48No.
1:56:51DON'T COME ANY CLOSER.
1:56:55YO, PERMEA, this
1:56:57Jesus, I know I know Cece is going
1:56:59through it right now, but this angle is
1:57:03God damn. God [laughter] damn.
1:57:06Yo.
1:57:08Why is she so pretty?
1:57:12I love
1:57:15How do I I need to skip her. I need to
1:57:17skip. Age you are skipping. You are
1:57:19skipping her. You are skip
1:57:21Ow.
1:57:25Didn't get to pet the little snake.
1:57:29Aw.
1:57:33Her thoughts drift back to the present.
1:57:34She just thought she was really cute.
1:57:40Premia looks at Cece again, who
1:57:42maintains her false bravado.
1:57:44The past? What do you mean by the past?
1:57:47It's nothing.
1:57:50You really are
1:57:52a little different now. Stop. She always
1:57:55thought she was adorable. That's so
1:57:56cute.
1:57:57Huh?
1:57:59Yeah. Huh. Right. Exactly.
1:58:03Great that you get it. Then, at least
1:58:06for now, the next few days, stop staring
1:58:10at me like that.
1:58:11You're making the scales on my tail
1:58:13stand up. [music]
1:58:16Premia turns her gaze back to the
1:58:17crackling fire and doesn't respond.
1:58:21Cece presses her lips together and moves
1:58:22a little closer to the fire. Somehow, it
1:58:25feels like something between them has
1:58:26suddenly changed.
1:58:30So, how about we find something else to
1:58:32talk about? Yo, we get a few more. Oh.
1:58:35Wait. Why did it cut off? It cut off the
1:58:38beginning of his dialogue. I'm so
1:58:39tilted. Why would they do that? I wanted
1:58:41to listen to his voice. No. Wait, I can
1:58:44finally be with them. They moved out of
1:58:45the way. Let's go. Hello, Bernice.
1:58:48Wait, let's talk to Bernice as well.
1:58:50Yo, what's up? Still thinking about my
1:58:53pink-haired pal?
1:58:55Thanks for these clues.
1:58:57Cecilia, enough nitro fuel can make
1:58:58everything come flooding back.
1:59:01Though, now that I think about it, the
1:59:02way she chugged nitro fuel was pretty
1:59:05special.
1:59:06Special?
1:59:08She's not bold and wild like me. Even
1:59:10though she drank a lot, she was so quiet
1:59:13about it. Like she was carefully
1:59:14savoring every single sip.
1:59:17She said it was her first time drinking
1:59:18it, but she looked way more legit than
1:59:19those natural fuel hoarding
1:59:21connoisseurs. Made me feel bad for
1:59:22chugging mine too fast.
1:59:25Man, if there weren't so much unrest in
1:59:26Bladesville recently, maybe she could
1:59:28have stuck around longer and we could
1:59:29have gone another 300
1:59:31300
1:59:33bro. [laughter]
1:59:34But hey, anyone who can handle nitro
1:59:36fuel like that can't be a bad person.
1:59:38When you guys find her, make sure you
1:59:40talk things over, okay?
1:59:43Yeah, guys, as long as someone is a
1:59:44heavyweight, can't be a bad person.
1:59:47Bernice is right. She's she's right.
1:59:49She's always right, actually. That's my
1:59:51girl. I will. Thanks.
1:59:54Come to get Come by together next time.
1:59:56My treat. She asked if I could whip up a
1:59:58nitro fuel special with volcanic
1:59:59minerals. Man, oh man, I really got to
2:00:02do my homework on that one.
2:00:04Bernice is already daydreaming about her
2:00:06new nitro fuel recipe, but even with all
2:00:08these details, Ramiel still remains as
2:00:09mysterious as ever.
2:00:13All right, later.
2:00:18This new look of yours.
2:00:23This Cecilia.
2:00:26This Cecilia.
2:00:29So
2:00:29So, I really enjoyed Cecilia. Not only
2:00:31is she voiced by Erin Yvette, who's also
2:00:33the voice of Arlecchino, the tribal
2:00:34chief in Genshin Impact, but the way her
2:00:36range sounds so good is
2:00:38is so good yet goofy. Yeah, yeah, like
2:00:40her range is insane. Arlecchino,
2:00:41Cecilia,
2:00:44And no, Cecilia in general is just
2:00:48one of like the best.
2:00:50>> [laughter]
2:00:51>> In my opinion, she's one of the
2:00:52characters that has grown on me so so
2:00:55much comparatively to how much I cared
2:00:56about her before.
2:00:58>> [laughter]
2:00:59>> She's so good.
2:01:02This CG though. Sorry, give me a second.
2:01:05I just
2:01:06Okay. Okay. Okay.
2:01:10Don't mind me. Don't mind me over here.
2:01:12We got a little we got a little we got a
2:01:13little
2:01:14freaking crazy CG.
2:01:16Also, say that again later.
2:01:19Bro,
2:01:20this new look of yours.
2:01:22Bro,
2:01:23this new look of yours. Bro,
2:01:26this new look of yours. Bro,
2:01:29this new look of yours.
2:01:31Ah. Okay.
2:01:34So, what do you think? Don't I shine
2:01:36like Starlight? Like they're so cute.
2:01:39They're so cute, guys.
2:01:42Yeah, you sure do.
2:01:44An enemy could probably spot you from a
2:01:46mile away.
2:01:48Uh uh later. You just don't get it.
2:01:51Look at these smooth lines, this
2:01:54powerful armor, and this brand new red
2:01:58scarf. A COMPANION OF JUSTICE HAS TO
2:02:01SHOW UP IN STYLE.
2:02:03When I first saw that you'd activated
2:02:05your ultimate form,
2:02:07I I thought maybe the undefeated first
2:02:09champion or maybe that so-called
2:02:11Calradic Reaper people love exaggerating
2:02:13about was back.
2:02:16Nah.
2:02:17Nah, the the super fan
2:02:21budgeting for merch.
2:02:23That's the true
2:02:24That's the true first champion.
2:02:27Billy's excitement comes to a sudden
2:02:28halt.
2:02:29Wait.
2:02:30The first champion? And the Calradic
2:02:33Reaper?
2:02:34So, the one behind all those wild rumors
2:02:36that Sesealia mentioned before
2:02:37was Billy the whole time? Wait, Bell,
2:02:40don't we already know this?
2:02:41Didn't
2:02:43Didn't they literally talk about how
2:02:45Billy
2:02:46was
2:02:48Lighter's predecessor as the champion in
2:02:52the past story?
2:02:56Am I crazy? Or did it Or was that just
2:02:57like a player thing where we we could
2:02:59piece it together? But I swear I swear
2:03:02they mentioned
2:03:04like the Reaper part?
2:03:06Okay, but I feel like you can put two
2:03:08and two together so easily.
2:03:10It was never confirmed he was from the
2:03:11rumors.
2:03:14I swear Lighter mentioned that his
2:03:16>> [music]
2:03:16>> I swear Lighter mentioned his big
2:03:18brother and then they showed Billy. And
2:03:20then it was like very very
2:03:22obvious what they were talking about.
2:03:26It was implied enough to be clear. Yeah,
2:03:28I
2:03:28>> [music]
2:03:29>> I thought that we picked that up as
2:03:30Faithin, but I guess not.
2:03:33>> [laughter]
2:03:35>> Well, okay, maybe.
2:03:38Perhaps
2:03:40the rumors about me are a little very
2:03:43exaggerated.
2:03:45After all, the Caledon Reaper
2:03:47disappeared long before the famed first
2:03:49champion made his grand debut. Isn't
2:03:51that right? Oh, oh, they were known as
2:03:54two separate things. I just kept
2:03:56interpreting them as the same person.
2:03:57After when the rather
2:03:59>> [music]
2:03:59>> ironic story of the undefeated champion
2:04:01beat the Caledon Reaper started
2:04:03circulating,
2:04:05well,
2:04:08some versions even claimed to know how
2:04:10many rounds they fought and what
2:04:11finishing move ended it. At that point,
2:04:14it's pure fiction.
2:04:16Pure fiction, pure fiction mentioned
2:04:18pure
2:04:20Guys, guys, it's time to farm our seller
2:04:22jades. So, the silent, ruthless Reaper
2:04:25and the red scarf-wearing champion who
2:04:27always went after the toughest opponent,
2:04:30they were both Billy?
2:04:31No wonder Lighter thought Billy had
2:04:33reverted to that
2:04:34uh
2:04:35more intimidating form.
2:04:38Billy, I think Big Daddy might still
2:04:40have the [music] old maintenance
2:04:41blueprints he used for you. With your
2:04:43current resolve and your original form,
2:04:46you'd probably be even stronger than
2:04:47before. It'll also suit this place and
2:04:50its survival of the fittest mindset
2:04:52better.
2:04:53That's the version of you most people
2:04:54remember.
2:04:57We're walking down memory lane.
2:04:59Billy falls silent for a moment.
2:05:03Yeah, you're right, Lighter.
2:05:06But that's not who I want to be anymore.
2:05:10He's become a different person.
2:05:12>> That road only leads back [music] to the
2:05:14old Billy.
2:05:15The one who just followed orders,
2:05:18reeking of oil, fear, and blood.
2:05:22A weapon.
2:05:24But now,
2:05:25on this brand new road [music] toward
2:05:27the future,
2:05:28it's time for Starlight Knight Billy to
2:05:30make his debut. Yeah, [ __ ] that Billy.
2:05:33Let's
2:05:35live your live your best fan dreams,
2:05:37okay? So,
2:05:39you're killing the ghost of your past
2:05:41with a new identity.
2:05:44Yeah, that sounds like you.
2:05:45Yeah, yeah. OH, THAT'S IT! THAT LINE
2:05:49SOUNDED SO AWESOME!
2:05:52SEE, you really get me, huh?
2:05:55>> [laughter]
2:05:55>> Next time you come up with something
2:05:56that cool, say it earlier.
2:06:00Oh,
2:06:01and [clears throat] check this out. My
2:06:03new ultimate attack pose. Starlight
2:06:06Billy, ULTIMATE SHINING IMPACT!
2:06:10IMPACT? Y- Y- GEN-
2:06:13>> [laughter]
2:06:15>> Henshin impact?
2:06:17Watching Billy immediately strike
2:06:18another dramatic pose,
2:06:21Lighter smiles helplessly.
2:06:24For a fleeting moment near the edge
2:06:25where light meets shadow, another figure
2:06:27seems to appear. A dark silhouette with
2:06:29a red scarf, its outline blurred. It
2:06:32raises a hand in a quiet gesture of
2:06:33acknowledgement then [music] fades away
2:06:35vanishing without a word.
2:06:37>> [gasps]
2:06:41>> Wait, is that supposed to imply it's
2:06:42like
2:06:44Either this is
2:06:49the start like a metaphor for the
2:06:50Starlight night
2:06:52like the actual start the actual
2:06:54original I guess
2:06:57night appearing and saying like
2:06:59yes sir
2:07:00or this is a metaphor for him saying
2:07:03goodbye to his past self.
2:07:08I think it's him saying goodbye to his
2:07:09past self.
2:07:11We got to continue our investigation
2:07:13tomorrow. Better get some rest tonight.
2:07:15>> want to. I want to stay with lighter and
2:07:16Billy forever.
2:07:19Bro
2:07:20the red scarf of yours.
2:07:22You noticed? The fact that you lighter
2:07:25my man I noticed and looked so carefully
2:07:27at my getup means my makeover is a total
2:07:29success. Super well put together.
2:07:32That red scarf is super eye-catching.
2:07:34It'll be weirder to go unnoticed. Now
2:07:36they're matching guys. Now they're
2:07:38twinning. Stop.
2:07:41Stop. They're twinning.
2:07:45True.
2:07:46Allow me to formally introduce this red
2:07:48scarf one of the iconic new symbols of
2:07:50Starlight night Billy. It represents
2:07:52burning justice and the resolve to
2:07:54protect.
2:07:56This new red scarf will fly alongside a
2:07:57new legend waving high wherever hope is
2:08:00needed.
2:08:02Hope huh?
2:08:04Sounds a lot like
2:08:05sounds a lot lighter than titles like
2:08:07Reaper and Champion.
2:08:08Yota rings already got enough heavy
2:08:10legends weighing it down. It's nice to
2:08:12have something
2:08:14lighter for a change. Lighter just said
2:08:16the word lighter twice in this dialogue.
2:08:20This time. Just remember to keep it
2:08:21close and wrap it tight. Don't let
2:08:23someone else take it.
2:08:28Ha.
2:08:29Ha.
2:08:32>> I won't let go once I tie it on this
2:08:33time. For real.
2:08:36Then here's to us. Let us wear our red
2:08:38scarves without regrets.
2:08:54This is the best This is the best end of
2:08:55the story. This is the best end of the
2:08:56story, guys.
2:08:58W's W's all around.
2:09:01Wrap it tight.
2:09:05True. Lighter told us to wrap it tight.
2:09:13You are right.
2:09:16Sometimes I really envy Piper. Her main
2:09:19communication technique is revving her
2:09:21engine. The louder the noise, the faster
2:09:23people give in.
2:09:25Ah, getting off track here. Anyway, got
2:09:27to head out and find Caesar in a bit. If
2:09:29I catch wind of any new developments
2:09:30from Tops, I'll make sure to let you
2:09:31know ASAP.
2:09:37Ahem. Oh. So, by the way, your Krampus
2:09:42place, isn't it for handling those super
2:09:45dark, super scary missions?
2:09:48Investigate, evaluate, and execute
2:09:51judgment. That's all it is.
2:09:54You make it sound so easy, like you're
2:09:56just cleaning up a room. Back in the
2:09:57outer realm, the moment word got out
2:09:59that the Sweepers would be coming,
2:10:00everyone would scatter and hide like
2:10:02spooked rats.
2:10:05Fear is the most useful warning system
2:10:06for staying alive.
2:10:09But back then,
2:10:10whatever. Things are different now. At
2:10:12least now I can sit by the same fire as
2:10:15you.
2:10:16Right?
2:10:18Yes. Though I don't usually stay near
2:10:20the fire.
2:10:21>> [laughter]
2:10:22>> Damn her, Fremia.
2:10:25Why is that? Not into warming up by the
2:10:26fire? It's okay, I'll warm her up. I'll
2:10:29warm her up instead.
2:10:34Fire and heat give away your position in
2:10:35the dark, drawing unwanted attention.
2:10:39Oh,
2:10:40I see.
2:10:41So,
2:10:43why did you come over now?
2:10:46Maybe it's because it doesn't seem so
2:10:48bad to have a little light now.
2:10:50Yeah, it's safe here, nice and warm.
2:10:54Plus, with powerhouses like you around,
2:10:56I've got nothing to fear.
2:10:58Fremia gives a slight nod. Her
2:10:59expression softening just a touch under
2:11:01the firelight.
2:11:05Fremia.
2:11:07Fremia.
2:11:08She's Okay, she's not even like a
2:11:09tsundere. She's just
2:11:12She's just traumatized.
2:11:14>> [laughter and gasps]
2:11:14>> She is just very jaded.
2:11:18Big Daddy.
2:11:19That woman in the cloak, the one who's
2:11:22always with that Sicilia girl?
2:11:24You know Fremia?
2:11:26Yeah. I remember she used to be pretty
2:11:28well-known among the sweepers. Word is
2:11:31she switched identities later on,
2:11:33pledged loyalty to someone.
2:11:35We need her for the investigation. Talk
2:11:38to Old Demire as well. Age Okay, okay.
2:11:40I'm not worried about that. The outer
2:11:42rings The outer rings winds kick up too
2:11:44much dust. Everyone's got a past they
2:11:46can't scrub clean. The past doesn't
2:11:48matter. What matters is the road they're
2:11:50walking now.
2:11:51Since she's chosen to work with you, as
2:11:53long as she keeps it clean and plays by
2:11:54the rules here, I won't ask questions or
2:11:56interfere.
2:11:58Everyone deserves a second chance. She's
2:12:00definitely different from before. Hey,
2:12:03of all people to give second chances,
2:12:04Big Daddy?
2:12:07My goat.
2:12:09Okay, okay, Old Demire.
2:12:16Hey, hold on. You've got that same lost
2:12:20vibe about you.
2:12:23Same? Who else?
2:12:25This morning, a bunch of impatient city
2:12:29folk came by looking totally lost and
2:12:32all worked up asking if I'd seen any
2:12:35woman with pink hair around these past
2:12:37few days.
2:12:39What'd you say? What'd you tell them?
2:12:42Me?
2:12:43I'm just an honest guy. Of course I told
2:12:47them everything I saw.
2:12:50The twilight clouds burning pink
2:12:52yesterday evening, the old pink scarf
2:12:55somewhere hung someone hung out to dry
2:12:58in town, the faded pink base coat
2:13:01showing through the peeling paint on the
2:13:03tavern sign.
2:13:05Even saw a mutant who had a lizard and
2:13:08one of the heads had a pink tongue.
2:13:11I've never seen any living pink-haired
2:13:13woman before.
2:13:16A city folk these days really need to
2:13:18keep their tempers in check. Didn't even
2:13:21let me finish before storming off all in
2:13:23a huff.
2:13:26>> [laughter]
2:13:30>> It sounded a bit more like a a gran-
2:13:33granny than old man
2:13:34>> [laughter]
2:13:38>> Listen, listen,
2:13:40I'm doing my best over here, okay?
2:13:43All right.
2:13:44All right. Age voicing an agent and a
2:13:47dumbest win. Yo, sign me up for the next
2:13:50uh they give a old old lady old auntie
2:13:54grandma ma agent that's not grandma ma
2:13:57in the same sense as Ramiel.
2:14:01>> [laughter]
2:14:04>> It's getting late. Time to rest.
2:14:08Demir played them. Demir rage baited
2:14:10them.
2:14:10>> [laughter]
2:14:11>> Drowsiness washes over you like a rising
2:14:13tide.
2:14:16Rising tide, rising dawn. Your
2:14:18consciousness slowly sinks. I'm sorry,
2:14:20my brain is so in for your spills.
2:14:22Blurred faces, faint voices. Somewhere
2:14:25nearby, a familiar voice calls out
2:14:28guiding you forward.
2:14:30Oh.
2:14:32Oh god, we're having we're having dreams
2:14:34again.
2:14:36Where am I?
2:14:38Is this a dream?
2:14:41Or
2:14:42why is
2:14:43are you here?
2:14:45Yes, this is a dream.
2:14:48Because
2:14:50because
2:14:51Oh.
2:14:52No.
2:14:53>> [panting]
2:14:54>> It's not a dream.
2:14:57Whose voice is this?
2:14:59I can't I can't tell. There's like a
2:15:01effect on it.
2:15:04We made a promise to see this
2:15:06together.
2:15:10Don't you
2:15:11leave us.
2:15:13Yeah,
2:15:14we will not lose.
2:15:15Wait.
2:15:17Wait, these are probably the characters
2:15:19that we saw in the 3.0 trailer. You know
2:15:21how Faith and has the other two they're
2:15:24two classmates or whatever? The one
2:15:26[snorts]
2:15:26with the really long black {slash}
2:15:30light light purple hair and then the
2:15:32blonde one? I think that was I think
2:15:34that was the girl just now. They're
2:15:36teasing them. They're teasing them
2:15:37already.
2:15:40Oh great monster,
2:15:42have we failed?
2:15:48Are we the monster?
2:15:51I think we're the monster, guys.
2:15:55Listen, there definitely is a monster in
2:15:57me whenever lighter shows up.
2:15:59>> [laughter]
2:15:59>> Teacher?
2:16:00Sorry, sorry. Let's lock in. Let's lock
2:16:02in.
2:16:04Carol?
2:16:05>> [laughter]
2:16:05>> Oh.
2:16:09>> [music]
2:16:11>> Romeo.
2:16:13Not Romeo, Ramiel.
2:16:14>> be like this.
2:16:16Wake up.
2:16:18If you don't wake up now, you never
2:16:19will.
2:16:20Stop. Yo, that's the first sight I see
2:16:23when I wake up. Ramiel, Ramiel.
2:16:30We finally found her. It's another
2:16:31romantic story, guys. This is going to
2:16:33be the romantic story. This is going to
2:16:35be the most romantic story of all time.
2:16:37You think so, too, right?
2:16:39The dream recedes like a tide. You find
2:16:41yourself standing once more in the quiet
2:16:43night of Hazlewood. The campfire has
2:16:45burned out, and everything is silent.
2:16:47Only a shadowy figure stands before you.
2:16:48Okay, before we move on to Ramiel's
2:16:50stuff.
2:16:51So, okay, those echoes, it it seems like
2:16:53they are echoes of our past, obviously.
2:16:55They're memories that have been buried
2:16:57in our brain with the Icarus stuff. So,
2:17:00Icarus is, I'm assuming, the experiment
2:17:02or we are supposed to become Icarus for
2:17:04for whatever reason during the whatever
2:17:07experiments Helios Academy was doing on
2:17:08us.
2:17:10And then, it seems like we we were like
2:17:12too successful. Maybe they were too
2:17:14successful with the experiment. So,
2:17:16maybe we went rogue. Maybe we got so
2:17:19powerful that we went to a bit crazy, so
2:17:21then they had to find some way to
2:17:23restrain us and hold us back. And then,
2:17:25maybe the way to hold us back was to
2:17:27erase our memories so that we didn't
2:17:29know how to use that power that we
2:17:31obtained.
2:17:35That's
2:17:35That's That's one of my theories at the
2:17:37moment. We'll need more info for more.
2:17:41What?
2:17:43My head.
2:17:45Wait.
2:17:47What's going on?
2:17:48You were sleepwalking, you know.
2:17:51Another step, and you'd have followed
2:17:52those memory ghosts straight onto the
2:17:54highway.
2:17:56Whoops.
2:17:58Ramiel. No.
2:18:00Who are you?
2:18:01Ramiel?
2:18:03Why are you here?
2:18:05No, wait. Before that,
2:18:07who are you, really? Ah,
2:18:10shh.
2:18:11Easy there, Miss Model Citizen.
2:18:15If you raise your voice, you'll wake
2:18:17everyone up.
2:18:18And besides,
2:18:20our Q&A game works in turns, remember?
2:18:24Last time, the final question you asked
2:18:26me about your nightmare,
2:18:29I already helped you with that.
2:18:31Waking you up from your dream wasn't
2:18:33easy, you know.
2:18:35So,
2:18:36now it's my turn to ask a question,
2:18:38right?
2:18:39What could we answer that you possibly
2:18:40want to know?
2:18:42What do you want to ask? Is there
2:18:43anything you want to know?
2:18:44What?
2:18:46What do you want to know? She just wants
2:18:47to get to know us better as people,
2:18:49okay? No need to be so tense. We're just
2:18:52chatting, like before. Oh.
2:18:55Mm, let me think.
2:18:57Your nightmare. What was it about? All
2:19:00right.
2:19:01Let's start here. Oh.
2:19:05In your eyes,
2:19:06what kind of person is your teacher? Did
2:19:10we ever tell her about our teacher?
2:19:16Why are you asking this? What's that got
2:19:18to do with you?
2:19:20My teacher?
2:19:21Why would you ask about her? What does
2:19:24that have to do with you or the
2:19:25>> Yo, Ramiel, you're showing your you're
2:19:26showing your hand a little bit here.
2:19:28>> Uh-uh-uh.
2:19:29Answering a question with another
2:19:32question is a I think she wants us to
2:19:33know.
2:19:34I think she's fine with us knowing.
2:19:37But, if you really don't want to answer,
2:19:40I'll give you a little hint.
2:19:42In a game like this, the one answering
2:19:44can't lie,
2:19:46but they don't necessarily have to tell
2:19:49the whole truth, either.
2:19:51So, let's get back to the question.
2:19:54What kind of person do you think your
2:19:57teacher is?
2:19:58A good person?
2:20:00A bad one?
2:20:02Or perhaps
2:20:05Teacher.
2:20:07My teacher
2:20:09She
2:20:10Don't take too long or you'll get
2:20:13penalized for it.
2:20:14>> yo, Ramiel. Hey, listen. What kind of
2:20:16What kind of penalty are we talking
2:20:18about here? If it's punishment, you
2:20:20know, I just
2:20:22>> [snorts]
2:20:22>> Punishment from you from you, girl?
2:20:26Can't say it's not unappealing.
2:20:28>> [laughter]
2:20:30>> She's my guide. I trust her. Don't
2:20:32threaten me with a good time.
2:20:33>> Okay.
2:20:34I trust her.
2:20:36Maybe there are still things I don't
2:20:37fully understand yet, but I trust in her
2:20:40character. I trust the path she's shown
2:20:42me. A guide worthy of trust, huh?
2:20:47Hmm.
2:20:48That's a very interesting answer.
2:20:51All right then. By the rules, it's my
2:20:54turn to answer the question you asked
2:20:55earlier.
2:20:57Who am I?
2:20:59What if she just comes out with it? What
2:21:00if she just straight up says Dan? Ramiel
2:21:03Dan.
2:21:03>> My real name is Ramiel.
2:21:06Well, I suppose most people would
2:21:08recognize me better by my family name.
2:21:10>> She's actually coming out with it.
2:21:13Dan.
2:21:14My full name is Ramiel Dan.
2:21:18I mean, they spoiled this in the
2:21:20trailer, so.
2:21:21>> [laughter]
2:21:24>> Like
2:21:26I'm like I'm sitting here still
2:21:27wondering why the hell they spoiled this
2:21:30in the trailer. I'll be so real.
2:21:32I feel like this is a crazy lore drop.
2:21:34>> [laughter]
2:21:37>> We pre-watched it.
2:21:39Ramiel Dan!
2:21:42Like this specifically. I know they I
2:21:44understand they have to put stuff in the
2:21:45trailer, but why did they put this
2:21:47specifically in the trailer? It's such a
2:21:49big spoiler.
2:21:50>> [laughter]
2:21:51>> No, that's impossible.
2:21:53That name
2:21:54it's from over 100 years ago.
2:21:58I knew you'd react like that.
2:22:00After all,
2:22:02that name probably only exists in
2:22:04history books for you, doesn't it?
2:22:07Lieutenant Colonel of the Guard of
2:22:08Staves
2:22:10and
2:22:11one of the first generation Void
2:22:14Hunters. Oh, okay. So, you got about to
2:22:16confirm if that's actually her?
2:22:18But
2:22:19how can that be?
2:22:21Also, sorry.
2:22:23I know we're learning stuff right now,
2:22:25but this CG is
2:22:27I actually think this is one of like the
2:22:29prettiest CGs in the game. No bias. No
2:22:32bias, of course.
2:22:34But just look at the coloring. Look at
2:22:36the lighting. Look how pretty she is.
2:22:38Like
2:22:41Like she's so beautiful. She's so
2:22:44beautiful.
2:22:49She's so beautiful. I know she just I
2:22:51know she just confirmed, okay? I know
2:22:52she just confirmed that she's the OG
2:22:53Void Hunter. I know she just confirmed
2:22:55that she's the OG Void Hunter.
2:22:57But I can't
2:22:59sue me for being distracted right now.
2:23:01Like look at her. How am I supposed to
2:23:03hide, guys? I have to I have to I have
2:23:04to fix I have to fix it again. We have
2:23:06to look pretty for her, okay? One
2:23:08second. One second.
2:23:10We have to look our best. We have to
2:23:10look our best. My bangs are not
2:23:11cooperating. I can't
2:23:21It's not completely impossible, you
2:23:24know.
2:23:25Time tends to be a little kinder to a
2:23:27person like me.
2:23:30Like this is confirmation, okay?
2:23:32To be completely honest,
2:23:33throughout, you know, the stuff that we
2:23:35learned earlier,
2:23:36I already saw
2:23:39I was already pretty certain that she
2:23:40was not a descendant and she was the
2:23:42original one, considering she's
2:23:43literally out here doing [ __ ] from 100
2:23:45years ago and acting like the biggest
2:23:47boomer I've seen in my life.
2:23:49What?
2:23:51Now it's been confirmed.
2:23:53That means the other Sunbringer is
2:23:56actually probably the original
2:23:58Sunbringer.
2:24:02Which is
2:24:04pretty badonkers. But that means the
2:24:06other Void Hunters from that time are
2:24:08probably still alive, too. I wonder if
2:24:09she's about to explain it. If she's
2:24:11about to explain if it's like fully
2:24:14going to have She's truly a hag. She's
2:24:15actually hag maxed.
2:24:17>> [laughter]
2:24:18>> Guys, we're actually hag maxing out
2:24:20here.
2:24:22Yo, 100 years and she still looks this
2:24:25fine, bro. Yo, I need her skin care
2:24:28routine. Are you kidding me?
2:24:30>> [laughter]
2:24:31>> But if you still think I'm lying,
2:24:35well,
2:24:36even though you haven't asked yet,
2:24:38I'll give you one more answer for free.
2:24:40Oh. Something I'm sure you're dying to
2:24:43know.
2:24:47Oh.
2:24:48A familiar voice calls out from the
2:24:49distance, followed by a hurried uneven
2:24:51footsteps. Your thoughts grow even more
2:24:53muddled.
2:24:55Hearing the call, Remielle turns her
2:24:57head slightly. There's a trace of weary
2:24:59amusement in her eyes at the
2:25:00interruption. Yet it almost feels as if
2:25:02she had already anticipated everything.
2:25:05Ah,
2:25:05>> [sighs]
2:25:06>> our game time always runs out so
2:25:08quickly.
2:25:09So, let's keep it short. Remielle, you
2:25:12better tell me what you were about to
2:25:13say. To me, that Porceloid engine is a
2:25:16key to the past.
2:25:18There's something I need it for.
2:25:20So, I'm afraid I can't give it back to
2:25:22you just yet.
2:25:23Sorry. I wonder if you need Porceloid to
2:25:27get into Ros Calafort. What if it's kind
2:25:29of like the entrance ticket or something
2:25:31like that? So, in order to enter Ros
2:25:34Calafort, you need to get that. So, then
2:25:36for Remielle, that's why she needs it,
2:25:37right? Cuz she's trying to go to Ros
2:25:39Calafort to speak to Sunbringer to get
2:25:41answers for the for the past.
2:25:44Maybe that's why she needs it or it
2:25:45could be something within Ross Killiford
2:25:47or obvious that she needs it for. But I
2:25:50promise you this,
2:25:52when everything is finally settled, if
2:25:54you still need it,
2:25:56I'll place it in your hands myself. And
2:25:59though you might not have realized it
2:26:01yet,
2:26:02just like those phantoms in your dreams,
2:26:05you're chasing after something
2:26:08you might never actually find.
2:26:12Carol Orna?
2:26:13Cuz we're chasing we're chasing our
2:26:15teacher.
2:26:17So is Remiel implying that we'll never
2:26:20be able to actually find
2:26:23Carol? Cuz she's dead?
2:26:25Or it could be she's saying that like
2:26:28the answers that we're looking for, like
2:26:30the truth of the past.
2:26:34Or something like that. Or like the
2:26:36peace. Maybe it's like because we're
2:26:38looking for we're looking for the truth
2:26:39of her past
2:26:40>> [music]
2:26:40>> so that we can
2:26:42find peace with what happened to her
2:26:44Carol, right?
2:26:45So maybe what she's also implying is oh,
2:26:49the truth is not going to bring you
2:26:50peace.
2:26:52The truth of what happened from before
2:26:54will not give you that closure that
2:26:55you're looking for.
2:26:58Mhm. In that sense,
2:27:00you and I might not be enemies after
2:27:03all.
2:27:04I don't understand. What what is it that
2:27:07you're planning to do?
2:27:08I
2:27:09don't understand.
2:27:11And what exactly are you planning to do
2:27:12with that W engine? Oh, greedy, aren't
2:27:16you?
2:27:16>> Oh,
2:27:16yes, I am. For you?
2:27:19Let's save it for next time, shall we?
2:27:22Look, that adorable little snake is
2:27:24already on her way over.
2:27:26Why does she say it like that? Yo,
2:27:29yo, Remiel, chill.
2:27:31Greedy, aren't you?
2:27:33>> Stop.
2:27:34That's a whole new question.
2:27:38Stop. Stop. She said that so sensual.
2:27:45Before she could finish speaking, a
2:27:46figure rushes in like a whirlwind, tail
2:27:48stiff and upright and alert.
2:27:52You bad lady. Stay away from us. Val,
2:27:56are you okay? Did she hurt you?
2:27:59Lady, I'm warning you. Stay away from my
2:28:03my lifetime meal ticket. Lifetime
2:28:06>> safety specialist, you know. I've got a
2:28:08bright future ahead of me. Cross me and
2:28:11you're making an enemy of all public
2:28:13security. Oh my god, Siseeyah. She's our
2:28:15guard snake. And if I get hurt, Demon
2:28:19Lord uh I mean, the commissioner will
2:28:22mobilize everyone and flatten the outer
2:28:25ring looking for you. Yeah,
2:28:28you don't want a massive casualty
2:28:30incident like that, right?
2:28:33See?
2:28:34This sharp little snake can always find
2:28:37you with uncanny accuracy.
2:28:40She seems particularly concerned about
2:28:43you.
2:28:44Don't worry, Siseeyah. I'm fine. At
2:28:47least for now.
2:28:48Don't worry, Siseeyah. She doesn't seem
2:28:51hostile.
2:28:52At least not at the moment. At least not
2:28:56for the moment, huh?
2:28:57What a cautious way to put it.
2:29:01I mean, I like that we are still being
2:29:03very on guard.
2:29:05I'd love to keep talking with you a
2:29:06little longer, but
2:29:08it sounds like the rest of your
2:29:10companions are about to arrive, too.
2:29:14I really do prefer one-on-one
2:29:15conversations
2:29:16>> Hey, yo.
2:29:17handling a whole crowd at once.
2:29:19>> [laughter]
2:29:20>> Just thinking about it makes me tired.
2:29:23Hey, listen, Remi. Oh, you and I, we can
2:29:25have some very very lovely one-on-one
2:29:28conversations,
2:29:29you you
2:29:32In my bedroom. It's all good. It's all
2:29:34good.
2:29:34>> [laughter]
2:29:38[sighs]
2:29:40[snorts]
2:29:41>> It's okay though. We'll wait. We'll
2:29:42wait. We'll wait for a date. All right?
2:29:44One-on-one conversation. One-on-one uh
2:29:46date. We'll have it. We'll have it
2:29:47eventually. This is going to be the most
2:29:48romantic story of all time.
2:29:50You think so, too, right?
2:29:54So, I suppose this is goodbye for now.
2:29:58Let's save the topic about your teacher
2:30:01for the next time we meet. Wait, Remiel.
2:30:03Don't leave just yet. She's going to
2:30:05She's She's a ya yeet.
2:30:10Remiel quietly takes a few steps back,
2:30:12her figure slipping into the night and
2:30:13vanishing without a trace.
2:30:16More footsteps follow as Wise, Billy,
2:30:18and Premier rush over together.
2:30:20I always find it funny whenever games
2:30:22describe this because
2:30:24realistically, unless it is actually
2:30:26dark as hell, right? As she vanishes
2:30:29into complete dark It has to be so dark
2:30:32for there to be enough darkness for
2:30:34someone to actually just disappear into
2:30:35the night.
2:30:37>> [laughter]
2:30:38>> But I feel like we're in the freaking
2:30:40We're freaking Blaze Wood, bro. There's
2:30:42lights everywhere.
2:30:43>> [laughter]
2:30:45[gasps]
2:30:46>> Uh [sighs]
2:30:48She's got wings, but they didn't say
2:30:49that she flew away.
2:30:51They said she stepped back and then
2:30:52vanished. So
2:30:54>> [laughter]
2:30:54>> She got that Batman technique. But we
2:30:57already have Premier who's Batman.
2:30:59Guys, guys, the Gotham City Zone Zero
2:31:01collab is real.
2:31:03After thinking about it for a moment,
2:31:05you tell everyone about your
2:31:06conversation with Remiel.
2:31:09Huh? A first-generation Void Hunter?
2:31:12That woman? Oh, come on. And I'm the
2:31:16mayor of New Eridu. She's obviously full
2:31:19of it.
2:31:20Cecilia, she stopped time. Though,
2:31:22actually, we were the only ones who saw
2:31:24that. A first-generation Void Hunter is
2:31:26like on the same level as the original
2:31:29hero from Starlight Night Chronicles. A
2:31:31straight up legendary boss fight.
2:31:34But if she's telling the truth,
2:31:37damn, how old would she be?
2:31:40Like over a hundred or something. I
2:31:42mean, boss always says don't judge a
2:31:44woman's age by her looks.
2:31:46BUT COME ON, SHE DOESN'T LOOK ANYWHERE
2:31:49NEAR A HUNDRED. NOT EVEN CLOSE.
2:31:52GUYS,
2:31:55TRUE,
2:31:56but also,
2:31:58they're the original void hunters.
2:32:00Listen, she just has the craziest skin
2:32:02care routine known to mankind. Exactly.
2:32:04So she's just bluffing trying to scare
2:32:06you. Roxy, don't let that bad lady trick
2:32:10you.
2:32:12Bell,
2:32:13you all right?
2:32:14She didn't do anything to you, did she?
2:32:17I'm fine. I get the feeling she wasn't
2:32:19lying.
2:32:20I'm fine. She didn't try anything.
2:32:22Actually, she said she needs the
2:32:25Porceloid W engine for something
2:32:26important and she'll give it back after.
2:32:29Honestly, I don't think she went out of
2:32:31her way just to lie to me. Same with the
2:32:33whole first generation void hunter
2:32:35thing. She doesn't gain anything from
2:32:37making that up.
2:32:39What do you mean she doesn't gain
2:32:40anything from making that up? She gains
2:32:41aura.
2:32:42She She gains She She gains intimidation
2:32:47tactics.
2:32:50Right.
2:32:52I agree with your assessment.
2:32:54What is it Promeya?
2:32:55What is it Promeya? Did you think of
2:32:57something? The big guy I mentioned
2:33:00earlier.
2:33:03Strictly speaking, I'm not meant to be
2:33:05sharing its movements with you, but
2:33:08given the circumstances, there's no
2:33:10point in withholding it now. Big guy is
2:33:13just a code name.
2:33:15Its actual designation is
2:33:18anti void hunter riot suppression mech.
2:33:22Anti-void hunter?
2:33:26Oh, because well, okay, we know we know
2:33:28that the mayor is trying to create void
2:33:30hunters, so I guess Tops is, you know,
2:33:33in direct opposition to the mayor, so
2:33:35then they're creating mechs
2:33:37to directly oppose them? Okay, but
2:33:40is it cuz void hunters individual
2:33:42powers? But the thing is, I thought void
2:33:44hunters is a title, right? Void hunters
2:33:46is a title to commemorate big feats
2:33:50for individuals. It's not necessarily
2:33:52like they have the same origin of power
2:33:54or anything like that.
2:33:56So,
2:33:58how is there a
2:34:00mech that specifically is able to
2:34:03suppress void hunters? Unless it's just
2:34:05a really [ __ ] strong mech that's
2:34:08supposed to be on void hunter level,
2:34:11which could be the case.
2:34:13Anti-void hunter riot suppression mech?
2:34:17A mech designed to suppress hunters. But
2:34:32I don't know.
2:34:33At first, Tops treated it as nothing
2:34:35more than a classification,
2:34:37a metric for combat prowess.
2:34:41After all,
2:34:42no one truly intended to oppose a void
2:34:45hunter.
2:34:45>> Oh, and then they kept going with it.
2:34:47But
2:34:49now it seems more likely it was never
2:34:50just a label. Tops' upper ranks may have
2:34:54known Remiel's identity long ago
2:34:56and made preparations in advance.
2:35:00Tops, these slimy these slimy little
2:35:04shits. Even the Hollow Champion
2:35:06competition
2:35:08may have been staged to lure her out.
2:35:11You, me, Remiel,
2:35:14and every other participant,
2:35:17we may all have been unwitting pieces on
2:35:19Rusty Cliffs' board
2:35:21used to corner Remiel and eliminate her.
2:35:27So,
2:35:28if that Porsche W engine is important to
2:35:30her, too,
2:35:32then it all makes sense. Yeah, well,
2:35:33that that would be the bait. That's the
2:35:35prize.
2:35:37Hey, don't forget that all the Void
2:35:38Hunters are linked to a Hollow in some
2:35:39way. Their weapons are related to their
2:35:40own Hollow.
2:35:44But I thought that we were talk when we
2:35:45talked about that before, I thought
2:35:46those are just theories.
2:35:48I thought we had those discussions and
2:35:50then they none of those things were
2:35:51confirmed. Like that was I just had a
2:35:52theory that every Void Hunter and every
2:35:55weapon seems to be connected to the
2:35:57Hollows, but then there was no real
2:35:59confirmation of that for sure since we
2:36:01didn't have enough info.
2:36:08I mean, this could definitely be them
2:36:09trying to build towards that plot lines,
2:36:11which means I would which would mean
2:36:12that I was right, which would mean that
2:36:14I would be right. Okay. Anyways, we'll
2:36:16see. We'll see.
2:36:18Wait. What?
2:36:20So, you're saying she she might actually
2:36:24be a first generation Void Hunter?
2:36:26The one from the legends who can level
2:36:28cities with a single strike. Theory by
2:36:30Azure Vanity. Hey, I came up with that
2:36:32theory. I came up with that theory
2:36:34myself. Azure just happened to be in my
2:36:36chat.
2:36:37>> [laughter]
2:36:37>> Listen. [gasps]
2:36:38Listen.
2:36:40It's a
2:36:41possibility.
2:36:43Yes.
2:36:44I
2:36:45I didn't bare my teeth at her, did I?
2:36:48And call her a bad lady?
2:36:51Cicia, it's okay. Huh.
2:36:53Is it too late to run for my life now?
2:36:56Maybe I can call for back up from public
2:36:58security. No,
2:36:59wait. No one's going to back me up. I'm
2:37:01dead. I'm so dead.
2:37:03Oh, what if she gets mad and turns me
2:37:06into some permanent outer ring road
2:37:08flight decoration? Cicia, it's okay. She
2:37:11she has her own things to deal with, all
2:37:13right?
2:37:14>> [laughter]
2:37:16[gasps]
2:37:16>> Like a faded Cecelia?
2:37:19I mean, that would be pretty cool, but
2:37:21I would never want that because that
2:37:23means Cecelia would be gone.
2:37:25Oh, no. I can actually see it now. Faded
2:37:28Cecelia. But ow.
2:37:32Oh my god. Why are we so mean to her?
2:37:34Why are we so mean to her?
2:37:37Stop. Roxy, stop it. Now I'm picturing
2:37:39it, too.
2:37:40We need to confirm Remiel's true
2:37:42objective. Now.
2:37:45She can't have gone far. I'll pursue.
2:37:49Tracking a first-generation Void Hunter?
2:37:52Damn, that's sick. Count me in.
2:37:56So, uh
2:37:58which direction are we headed, exactly?
2:38:01Don't worry, your trusty proxy GPS is
2:38:03all right here.
2:38:04>> Um
2:38:05excuse me. The great not-so-great
2:38:08specialist Cecelia here
2:38:10might possibly, maybe have a way to find
2:38:12her.
2:38:13Okay, just [music] to be clear, I didn't
2:38:15do it on purpose. I swear I wasn't
2:38:17trying to offend the great
2:38:19first-generation [laughter] Void Hunter.
2:38:20Just uh earlier, I might have possibly,
2:38:23maybe accidentally
2:38:25stuck the precinct-issued tracker on
2:38:27her.
2:38:29Wait, guys, Cecelia's the MVP of this
2:38:31patch. Hello?
2:38:33She's a first-generation Void Hunter,
2:38:35and you put a tracker on her?
2:38:38I wonder if Remiel knows about it.
2:38:41If cuz guys, here's the thing. If Remiel
2:38:43doesn't know about the tracker, that
2:38:45means Cecelia is dead-ass competent and
2:38:47sneaky enough that she managed to sneak
2:38:49the tracker on her without a
2:38:52first-generation Void Hunter knowing.
2:38:56You put a tracker on a first-generation
2:38:59Void Hunter?
2:39:01Cecelia, how did you even pull that off?
2:39:03Right when she was saying goodbye to
2:39:05you?
2:39:06I mean, I didn't. Chucky did.
2:39:10Anyway, it got stuck on her while
2:39:11>> [music]
2:39:12>> she was distracted.
2:39:13>> [laughter]
2:39:15>> Cecilia pulls out a compact high-tech
2:39:17display and swallows nervously.
2:39:19I'm serious. I didn't mean it. You guys,
2:39:23you all have to back me up.
2:39:25I I had zero intention of offending her.
2:39:29None whatsoever.
2:39:31I swear.
2:39:32You're amazing, Cecilia. You're amazing,
2:39:35Cecilia. Going up against a first-gen
2:39:38void hunter without even flinching.
2:39:39That's our quick-thinking, fearless
2:39:41specialist, Cecilia.
2:39:43>> [gasps]
2:39:43>> Remiel dropped her guard since
2:39:45uh Cecilia is such a girl failure. Dude,
2:39:48I feel like everyone drops their guard
2:39:50around Cecilia cuz she's just so
2:39:51lovable.
2:39:52I didn't. That's not what happened.
2:39:55Don't twist my words. Uh
2:39:57It was just an accident.
2:39:59You don't need to panic, Cecilia. I
2:40:02don't think she's hostile toward us.
2:40:04If she were, we'd already be done for.
2:40:06Yeah, there is a slight gap in strength
2:40:09disparity. There's a slight a slight
2:40:12strength disparity between us two.
2:40:14Unfortunately.
2:40:16Huh.
2:40:18I guess that's true. I mean, she's super
2:40:20strong. She could probably take on a
2:40:21million Cecilias solo. Wait, the
2:40:24signal's there. I've got her.
2:40:28This direction. Uh-huh.
2:40:30No.
2:40:32Why'd it cut out already?
2:40:34Did she find it?
2:40:36Cecilia, is that thing of yours even
2:40:38legit?
2:40:39Or is it some free promo
2:40:41[music and singing] thingy you picked
2:40:42up?
2:40:42>> She said it was from the precinct,
2:40:44Billy. Weren't you listening?
2:40:45>> How would I know? It's my first time
2:40:47using this thing. The fact it worked at
2:40:50all is a miracle.
2:40:53Tracker's final signal coordinates
2:40:54retrieved. Location, near one of the
2:40:57Percenus companion
2:40:58>> Percenus?
2:41:00Looks like the signal disappeared
2:41:01because she went into a hollow. And the
2:41:03signal dropping must mean she went into
2:41:04the hollow. No time to tell Lyra. We
2:41:07move now. Let's go after her. Wait, no.
2:41:08We should tell Lyra. We should tell Lyra
2:41:10so we can bring Lyra with us.
2:41:12Understood. I'll wake the Sons of
2:41:14Caladan. You guys go ahead, Belle. We'll
2:41:16catch up to you.
2:41:21Opportunity won't make wait for us.
2:41:22Let's make haste.
2:41:25The manager needs that W engine, so I
2:41:26don't care if they're a Void Hunter or
2:41:28whatever. You don't steal something. You
2:41:30give it back. Chase him down and demand
2:41:32answers fair and square. That's the
2:41:34Starlight Knight way.
2:41:36Since you've all made up your minds,
2:41:38then this specialist can't bail out
2:41:40either. If things really go south, we'll
2:41:42all be running together.
2:41:44Once you're ready, let's head out.
2:41:47Okay.
2:41:48Lock in. Lock in, guys. It's time. It's
2:41:52time. Also, Rover, thank you so much for
2:41:54the prime. I really, really appreciate
2:41:56it.
2:41:56>> [laughter]
2:41:57>> Thank [gasps] you so, so much for the
2:41:58prime sub. It really means a lot to
2:41:59support.
2:42:01Really helps. Thank you. Thank you very
2:42:03much.
2:42:07Oh. Oh my. Didn't expect that naughty
2:42:10little snake siren girl to be quite so
2:42:12capable.
2:42:13>> Okay, so she did find it.
2:42:14>> Now, when did she even manage to stick
2:42:16this thing on me?
2:42:17Hmm.
2:42:19Why do I get the feeling she wasn't
2:42:20taking me seriously? Well, cuz she
2:42:22didn't believe you back then, but now
2:42:23she does.
2:42:25Lyra,
2:42:26stop wasting our time.
2:42:28Faith and Intoxicate pursuit units are
2:42:31closing in on your position.
2:42:33Yes, yes, got it. Don't worry. I'll take
2:42:37care of those little nuisance.
2:42:38>> Okay, so that confirms that this isn't
2:42:39Tops, though I didn't think it was
2:42:40anyways. Dot dot dot. I don't mean Faith
2:42:43and of course. Don't let your guard
2:42:46down. We don't have any intel on Tops
2:42:49and Nick, so no way to be sure if it's
2:42:52specifically
2:42:52>> true. Also, Tops is trying to kill her.
2:42:54>> [laughter]
2:42:55>> Right.
2:42:56Aw. Are you worried about me
2:42:59>> [snorts]
2:43:00>> or
2:43:01is it something else?
2:43:05Relax.
2:43:07I know what I'm doing. But, before I
2:43:10open the treasure chest, Treasure chest.
2:43:13>> a tiny bit more time doing something
2:43:16only a bad girl would do, hm?
2:43:20Bad girl, Remi is going to be a bad
2:43:22girl. I'm going to be a bad girl if I
2:43:24put me in front of her. Geez. Like
2:43:27going to play a little game of hide and
2:43:29seek with that anti-void hunter mech.
2:43:31Bro, is she playing with her food? Dot
2:43:34dot dot.
2:43:35Right. And before that, I should return
2:43:38this tracker to that cute little snake
2:43:40first.
2:43:41>> Run that line back down. Down.
2:43:44>> Like go oops. Relax.
2:43:47I know what I'm doing. But, before I
2:43:50open the treasure chest, let me waste
2:43:53just a tiny bit more time doing
2:43:55something only a bad girl would do, hm?
2:44:01I am not okay. I am not okay. I am
2:44:04not okay. Guys, guys,
2:44:08help. Help.
2:44:11Dot dot dot. Dot dot dot.
2:44:14Dot dot dot.
2:44:21Oh.
2:44:23Remi, please chill. Please chill.
2:44:26I need to be normal.
2:44:30You and your companions arrive at the
2:44:32hollow where you signal cut off.
2:44:34Wait. Why does everything in here look
2:44:37all faded, too?
2:44:38>> [gasps]
2:44:39>> Don't tell me.
2:44:40Don't tell me the void hunter's
2:44:41punishment has already started. Oh. Oh,
2:44:45this Okay, sorry. I cuz I don't remember
2:44:47the names of the hollows specifically,
2:44:48but this is the This is that hollow that
2:44:50was in that event, right?
2:44:52That's just how the hollow work looks.
2:44:55Hey, don't freak yourself out. It's just
2:44:57how this hollow looks. I've done some
2:44:59field investigations here before and
2:45:01look, I'm totally fine. No need to
2:45:03panic.
2:45:06Thank goodness I know the most reliable
2:45:08proxy ever.
2:45:09Otherwise, my glorious career would have
2:45:11ended early in this black and white
2:45:13silent film.
2:45:15Still,
2:45:16something feels off. We lost Weiss and
2:45:19Fairy the moment we entered this hollow.
2:45:21No time to dwell on it though. Finding
2:45:23Remiel is the priority.
2:45:27Wait, Melanoe hollow has faded colors.
2:45:29Remiel can make the faded ethereal.
2:45:32Wait.
2:45:34Wait, you're right.
2:45:37Cuz okay, cuz my theory from before with
2:45:39the Void Hunters, right? The original
2:45:41Void Hunters and how it seems like every
2:45:43Void Hunter is seems like they're
2:45:45directly connected to one of the Let's
2:45:47keep going.
2:45:48>> the great hollows.
2:45:50Doesn't matter. This is a trial for the
2:45:51Void Hunter. Oh, I can't remember how
2:45:53many there were. is always READY FOR
2:45:55BATTLE. But there were a lot there were
2:45:57a lot of great hollows that matched up
2:45:59with the number of Void Hunters, right?
2:46:01So then, maybe
2:46:03the Void Hunters weapons and stuff are,
2:46:06you know, directly connected to the
2:46:08hollows and their their point of origin
2:46:10or whatnot.
2:46:11And their powers. So then it would make
2:46:13sense if Remiel's one of the original
2:46:15Void Hunters and then you have the the
2:46:18this the Melanoe hollow.
2:46:21Or sorry, the
2:46:22Personas Personas hollow. Because this
2:46:25is a companion of the of the Personas
2:46:27hollow and the Personas is the great
2:46:28hollow.
2:46:30So then,
2:46:34maybe Remiel is connected to the
2:46:36Personas hollow and with her powers.
2:46:38Is it only the Melanoe hollow that is a
2:46:41companion of the Personas that we've
2:46:42seen? Have we seen other companion
2:46:44hollows of the Personas hollow that are
2:46:46not this one.
2:46:52Or
2:46:54or is this the only one we've seen so
2:46:55far?
2:46:56Remiel is clearly Professor Archie age.
2:46:59Guys,
2:47:00damn, I'm sorry. I don't I don't have
2:47:01the the brain cells to put that theory
2:47:04together.
2:47:05>> [laughter]
2:47:07>> Yeah, one giant hollow tied to avoid
2:47:08hunter weapon theory. It might be true.
2:47:09It's just a That is not confirmed, just
2:47:11a theory. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it's
2:47:12just a theory.
2:47:13Cuz that's that was the thing that like
2:47:15I
2:47:16a theory that I gave up with. No, the
2:47:19thing when I was playing through the
2:47:20event, right? Where we got to see
2:47:23where we got to see
2:47:26God, I'm so I'm so bad with names. I
2:47:28forgot his name, but the dude the dude,
2:47:30the the guy
2:47:33>> [panting]
2:47:34>> the one that was at the end of 2.x that
2:47:36event.
2:47:39Yeah, anyways, when we were playing that
2:47:40event, right? That's I was like, wait,
2:47:42wait a second.
2:47:44The connections Yeah, so I think I think
2:47:46if that if these things are true, then
2:47:48Remiel might be connected to
2:47:50the
2:47:53[ __ ] the names. There's so many names.
2:47:54There's so many names. I don't remember.
2:47:56The hollow we were just talking about
2:47:57this the one that's connected to this
2:47:58one.
2:47:59Joyous. Yes, yes, Joyous and the Papago
2:48:01hollow, right? Cuz we had Joyous and the
2:48:03Papago, we had
2:48:05Miyabi.
2:48:11I can't Oh my god, I can't remember
2:48:12exactly. Anyways, we have the theory
2:48:15that the void hunters are connected to
2:48:16the hollows.
2:48:19And the more that we see from it, the
2:48:22more the evidence suggests
2:48:24that it could be the case. Because
2:48:27Remiel's powers are very similar to this
2:48:29particular hollow,
2:48:30which is connected to the personus
2:48:33hollow.
2:48:37So we have Joyous with the Papago.
2:48:39We have
2:48:42For the highlight reel.
2:48:44Remiel/Dan with the
2:48:48Personas.
2:48:51The Lemnian is Yesung Gwan. Yes, yes,
2:48:53yes.
2:48:54Lemnian is Yesung Gwan. Eat this.
2:48:57Don't get the scarf dirty. I guess
2:48:59Miyabi's would be the one from 1.X. I
2:49:03don't remember what it's called.
2:49:05But the the one that's connected to 1.X.
2:49:13Yeah. And then I guess as we
2:49:16keep seeing the different Hollows in the
2:49:18Void Hunt, the Creton, Melanoa.
2:49:23Mel- Is Melanoa the Great Hollow or is
2:49:26Creton the Great Hollow?
2:49:28This is the 1.X Hollow? Wait, oh,
2:49:30Personas is the 1.X Hollow? Oh, so that
2:49:33would mean Miyabi's connected to a
2:49:35different Hollow then.
2:49:36Like Miyabi and her ancestors.
2:49:41Remiel to Personas, Joyce with Papagou,
2:49:43Yesung Gwan with Lemnian, Archie with
2:49:45Hollow Zero.
2:49:53Yeah, those are the ones that have the
2:49:54most direct connection. I'm I'm I'm
2:49:55unsure about Miyabi's. I need to brush
2:49:58up I need to brush up on my lore again.
2:50:00There's so many There's so many terms
2:50:02and things that I don't remember, but
2:50:06I wasn't this place in Miyabi event?
2:50:07Yes, but it wasn't the I was think I was
2:50:08talking about the main story.
2:50:10Not the
2:50:12event specifically.
2:50:14Going my way?
2:50:16But anyways anyways guys, that's the
2:50:18theory that that's the theory that seems
2:50:20like it keeps getting supported, so
2:50:21let's continue on. Oh, this is the
2:50:23lonely statue. This is the statue that
2:50:25she bought from the from Yae earlier.
2:50:28Huh?
2:50:29Oh, this is
2:50:30a little Bing Boo. Looks like it's
2:50:33melting.
2:50:34And my tracker. She left the tracker.
2:50:37There's also a note.
2:50:38What does it say? Is it a warning?
2:50:41Is she turning us all into faded statues
2:50:43if we don't turn back? Oh, is it trash
2:50:47talk? A challenge?
2:50:49So, it's finally happening. I get to
2:50:52throw DOWN WITH A LEGEND FACE-TO-FACE.
2:50:54>> OH my god, Billy just wants to square
2:50:56up.
2:50:58Billy wants his hero moment. A small
2:51:00doodle of a puffed-up angry face sits on
2:51:02the note. The handwriting is elegant and
2:51:04firm. Stalking is hardly a habit I'd
2:51:07care to encourage.
2:51:10It only gets more dangerous from here.
2:51:13Turn back while you still can.
2:51:16I, Remi Olympian, intend to honor
2:51:19>> The music.
2:51:22There's no need for you to venture any
2:51:24deeper. Why did they start playing the
2:51:27the smooth
2:51:29the smooth jazz?
2:51:31>> [laughter]
2:51:32>> Oh, and this little one?
2:51:34I traded a story for it.
2:51:36Back then, I thought we were quite
2:51:38alike.
2:51:39But on second thought, this melancholy
2:51:42style doesn't really suit me.
2:51:45So, I'm leaving it in your hands.
2:51:49Keep it safe for me.
2:51:51I looked at Miyabi's character teaser
2:51:52and she became a Void Hunter after the
2:51:53Argos Hollow disaster. Mm. Okay, so
2:51:57maybe Miyabi will be with Argos.
2:51:59But yeah, I know I saw you guys saying
2:52:01that it's not confirmed yet. I mean,
2:52:02none of this is confirmed. Like apart
2:52:04from like the the Joyous is connected in
2:52:07some way. We don't know if the
2:52:09connection is as, you know,
2:52:11we're saying, but there the connections
2:52:14are there, so.
2:52:16Interesting.
2:52:17>> [sighs and gasps]
2:52:18>> Interesting.
2:52:20The lore thickens.
2:52:22Okay.
2:52:25Okay, so she returned the tracker and
2:52:28even gave us a
2:52:30gift?
2:52:32It seems she's not that angry.
2:52:35Does this mean I'm safe now?
2:52:39It's a warning and also a promise.
2:52:42It sounds like both a warning and a
2:52:44promise.
2:52:45Whatever she's up to, it's likely far
2:52:47beyond what we can handle.
2:52:49At least in her eyes. But is she trying
2:52:52to protect us?
2:52:53Or is this a calculated misdirection?
2:52:57What if it's both?
2:52:59>> [gasps]
2:53:01>> Before you can think it through, a
2:53:02familiar wave of pain crashes over you.
2:53:05Your vision starts to fade into a blur.
2:53:07Oh.
2:53:08It's hallucination time.
2:53:10Manager? At the sound of your
2:53:12companion's worried voices, you force
2:53:13your gaze upward. Through the haze, you
2:53:15see it clearly. Not far ahead, a lone
2:53:18figure stands in silence.
2:53:21Remiel?
2:53:23Remiel, where?
2:53:25She's here.
2:53:26Wait guys, we're hallucinating Remiel
2:53:28now. Yo, this is the type of This is the
2:53:30type of hallucination I'd like to see.
2:53:31Let's go. Let's go.
2:53:33>> [laughter]
2:53:35>> Also, this is really pretty shot. Over
2:53:37there.
2:53:39There?
2:53:40Where? I don't see anything.
2:53:43Belle wants her so bad. She's
2:53:45hallucinating her. Me. This is me as
2:53:48hell.
2:53:49>> I'll go on and catch up with you all
2:53:50ahead.
2:53:51Wait, don't go. What did you mean by
2:53:54that?
2:53:56A sharp pain stabs through your head.
2:53:59By the time the pain subsides and you
2:54:00look up again, Remiel's figure has
2:54:01already faded, melting into the
2:54:03colorless void.
2:54:05Manager?
2:54:07You good?
2:54:09I've checked the area. Doesn't look like
2:54:11anyone's been around.
2:54:13This feels just like back in Blazewood.
2:54:15More of those weird visions.
2:54:18Sorry.
2:54:19I think I just saw an illusion of Remiel
2:54:22and blurted it out. She was here. I'm
2:54:25sure of it.
2:54:27I think I can trace her path through
2:54:28these illusions.
2:54:30Illusions? But Billy and I didn't see
2:54:33anything.
2:54:34Hey, Praxy,
2:54:36are you sure you're okay? Don't worry,
2:54:38[ __ ] We just see things, we hear
2:54:39things, but we're fine. Perfectly
2:54:41normal.
2:54:43I'm fine, don't worry.
2:54:45>> [laughter]
2:54:45>> Don't worry, [ __ ] I'm okay.
2:54:47Right now, finding Remiel is what
2:54:49matters. We just It must be the nitro
2:54:51fuel again. Yeah, we just drank a bit
2:54:53too much nitro fuel, guys.
2:54:54>> [laughter]
2:54:55>> Uh,
2:54:56don't push yourself, all right? If you
2:54:58start feeling sick, you have to tell us,
2:55:01okay?
2:55:02Sure, I will.
2:55:04Let's keep moving.
2:55:06Okay.
2:55:08>> again. Over here.
2:55:13Oh.
2:55:14Charge!
2:55:17Damn it. The illusion The illusions come
2:55:19with
2:55:20monsters.
2:55:22What if I just want to I just want to go
2:55:25I just want to find Remiel, guys.
2:55:29This is the will of Krampus.
2:55:32Why can't the Ethereals leave us in
2:55:34peace? We just want our date. We want
2:55:37that cookie, okay?
2:55:38Obstacle removed.
2:55:45Time to roar. Okay.
2:55:50>> [groaning]
2:55:51>> There's something strange up ahead.
2:55:54Oh.
2:55:55Over there.
2:55:57Is this one going to talk?
2:55:59Okay.
2:56:01Jeez.
2:56:02Oh, oh [ __ ] Sorry, I did not mean to go
2:56:04that fast.
2:56:04>> place. A world of pure white.
2:56:08I like it. It suits me. If I die one
2:56:11day,
2:56:12I hope someone can lay me to rest here.
2:56:15Or at least somewhere like this. Girl,
2:56:18who you talking to?
2:56:20Dot dot dot.
2:56:22>> [laughter]
2:56:23>> What are you talking about? I'm a void
2:56:26hunter. How would I ever get corrupted
2:56:29and turn into an ethereal?
2:56:38Um
2:56:46I don't like that line of dialogue.
2:56:52I I don't like that line of dialogue.
2:56:58Hey Remiel, you got some wood wood
2:57:00around these parts? Want to knock on it,
2:57:02please?
2:57:03Would Would you like to knock on some
2:57:05wood, girl?
2:57:07Well, it's a promise then.
2:57:10If I really do become an ethereal
2:57:12someday, you'll be the one to kill me.
2:57:16Who is you? And then
2:57:18bury them here
2:57:20as proof that I once lived.
2:57:24Dot dot dot.
2:57:26Dot dot dot.
2:57:28Dot dot dot. I still would ethereal
2:57:30Remiel. That's crazy.
2:57:33>> [laughter]
2:57:33>> No, actually. I mean, we've seen some of
2:57:35the ethereal designs in this game.
2:57:40Listen.
2:57:42Listen.
2:57:43They design them.
2:57:46I'm just appreciating. That's all I'm
2:57:48saying. That's not what I meant. Why
2:57:51would you bury me here after I turn into
2:57:53an ethereal? That's hideous. I don't
2:57:56want that.
2:57:59You tell everyone about the voice you
2:58:00heard.
2:58:04So she wants to be buried here before
2:58:06she turns into an ethereal. But I guess
2:58:08when she's turning into it, it sounds
2:58:10like a really sad story. Like she was
2:58:13leaving behind her final words or
2:58:14something.
2:58:16Which means what you saw likely wasn't
2:58:18the Remiel of the present or from but
2:58:20from much earlier.
2:58:22So, Remiel's actual goal is the thing
2:58:25that's buried here?
2:58:26Very likely.
2:58:28That might be what what Rusty Cliff is
2:58:30after as well.
2:58:33The only way to get our answers is to
2:58:34catch up to Remiel. Wait, I thought she
2:58:36said she'd bury herself here.
2:58:46Unless
2:58:48it's Remiel's actual body that's buried
2:58:51in the Hollow
2:58:52and she somehow
2:58:55has an ability or like some way to exist
2:58:59outside of the Hollow in an avatar
2:59:04of some sort.
2:59:06So, then she's coming back here to
2:59:08retrieve her body
2:59:12for some reason
2:59:14or some part of her power? Because she
2:59:17said that she doesn't want to be buried
2:59:18as an ethereal in here, but then and
2:59:20they were talking about burying
2:59:21something and then she was only talking
2:59:22about burying herself.
2:59:27So,
2:59:28I think she buried part of herself or
2:59:30her power or her body is here.
2:59:33That That's my current
2:59:35theory interpretation of what's
2:59:37happening.
2:59:39If she's coming back for something,
2:59:40she'll have to pass through this
2:59:41fissure, too. Up ahead, this wild goose
2:59:43chase should be reaching its end soon.
2:59:46Remiel and that W engine manager is
2:59:47after. They're right in front of us.
2:59:49Let's go.
2:59:51Hm? There's a fissure.
2:59:58Huh.
3:00:02I'm not going to read chat because I'm
3:00:03scared you guys are going to spoil it.
3:00:05>> [laughter]
3:00:05[gasps]
3:00:06>> That's my current theory. Ooh.
3:00:09Wait, this area is cool.
3:00:12Oh, spooky.
3:00:15Touch the strange wall.
3:00:16>> capable of this.
3:00:20I'll give it a try, too. Oh.
3:00:27Wait, wait, wait, wait.
3:00:31Okay, no, no, no. But, here's the thing.
3:00:32Okay, Kai is coming into this hollow,
3:00:34right? We We got Remiel's note with the
3:00:37bamboo. But, then all of the echoes,
3:00:39right? I assumed that the echoes of her
3:00:41that we were seeing so far
3:00:43were from current Remiel. But, because
3:00:46of the vision just now, because of the
3:00:47echo we saw just now, it seems like this
3:00:50is all past Remiel, which means the
3:00:51first few The first few echoes we saw as
3:00:54well were also past Remiel. So, then the
3:00:56very first echo we saw was her talking
3:00:58to someone telling telling them to to
3:01:01stop.
3:01:04Or Oh, wait. Yeah, the very first one
3:01:06that we saw as well was also from past
3:01:08Remiel, not present Remiel.
3:01:11Which means she was
3:01:13Wait, no, no, no. No, but she was
3:01:15speaking to us through the No. [ __ ]
3:01:17what's it [ __ ] what's the first echo
3:01:19say again?
3:01:21Oh, god. No, I forgot. [laughter] No, it
3:01:23just happened. It just happened.
3:01:26What did she say?
3:01:32Okay, anyways. Anyways.
3:01:35Anyways, that first echo was also past
3:01:37Remiel. So, this is also past Remiel.
3:01:38So, I feel like I should be able to do
3:01:42this.
3:01:45Touch the strange wall.
3:01:47Oh.
3:01:49Woah, what is this? Woah.
3:01:52Woah.
3:01:56What the
3:02:01Wait, was I right? Wait, was I right? Is
3:02:03this actually her body?
3:02:05That looks like a coffin.
3:02:07That looks like a coffin.
3:02:16Signal acquisition complete. Target zone
3:02:19locked. Yo, Tops, screw you.
3:02:22Huh?
3:02:23What is this thing? It's even crazier
3:02:25than those Romulan mechs.
3:02:26>> These [ __ ] Tops individuals, you
3:02:29bastards. Damn, look at its armor
3:02:32and that energy output.
3:02:34Classic Tops work.
3:02:37Different sides and all, but I got to
3:02:39hand it to them.
3:02:40I'm a little jealous.
3:02:42Professional-wise, you know. It's okay,
3:02:44Billy. They have so many resources, all
3:02:46right? Too bad for them they caught me
3:02:48on a perfect day. It doesn't matter how
3:02:51tough that mech is.
3:02:52I'll come out victorious. Yo, that's the
3:02:54confidence I like to see. An anti-void
3:02:56hunter riot suppression mech,
3:02:59the decider.
3:03:00Terror raptor. Terror raptor. [laughter]
3:03:04That name's lame.
3:03:06It
3:03:07definitely needs some work.
3:03:09Billy, you just took a step back, didn't
3:03:12you?
3:03:13I saw that. Whoever is piloting that
3:03:15mech, answer me.
3:03:17Whose orders are you following?
3:03:20Rusty Cliff.
3:03:23Lady Promia, why ask what you already
3:03:26know? We are simply following the will
3:03:28of Tops. RETRIEVE THE MISSION OBJECTIVE.
3:03:34THE thing hidden here. What exactly is
3:03:36hidden here?
3:03:39A very hot body, a very a pink a pink
3:03:42baddie.
3:03:43>> [laughter]
3:03:44>> A pink baddie, perhaps. Hey, you don't
3:03:46SERIOUSLY THINK I'M JUST GOING TO ANSWER
3:03:48YOUR QUESTIONS, do you? BUT I CAN TELL
3:03:50you one thing. Before I get to the real
3:03:53work, I'll be clearing out all of you
3:03:55unstable variables that might threaten
3:03:57Tops assets. All right, good luck with
3:04:00that, buddy.
3:04:01By the authority vested in me as a
3:04:03Krampus judge, I am taking control of
3:04:06this area.
3:04:07Withdraw immediately. Oh,
3:04:10hi and mighty judge. AS ARROGANT AS
3:04:13EVER. You really still don't get it, do
3:04:15you? Withdraw.
3:04:18This is your final warning.
3:04:21Why does she sound so good when she's
3:04:23being authoritative? authoritative
3:04:26>> [laughter]
3:04:26>> It's exactly because you're here that
3:04:28this has to end so badly. Just look at
3:04:31this lineup. A Krampus judge, a public
3:04:34security specialist, and the mayor's
3:04:37little favorite Faithin.
3:04:40Does everyone and their mom know where
3:04:41Faithin now? Like is this just is it no
3:04:43longer a secret?
3:04:45Remember when we were under under the
3:04:47radar secret Faithin individuals and
3:04:51then
3:04:51>> [laughter]
3:04:52>> Now
3:04:53Now a random mech operator. Though I
3:04:55mean, I guess he was sent here directly
3:04:57by Tops and I know Tops probably knows
3:04:59everything.
3:05:01God's been out of the bag, I guess. I
3:05:02guess we're never putting that back in
3:05:04the bag, huh?
3:05:05>> [laughter]
3:05:07>> What a troublesome bunch. Letting even
3:05:09one of you go is a liability we can't
3:05:11afford.
3:05:12So, I'm afraid you all have TO STAY HERE
3:05:16FOREVER. WAIT. YO. [laughter]
3:05:22I mean, I scared him so much he lost his
3:05:24voice filter.
3:05:28Okay. Agata, farewell.
3:05:36Okay.
3:05:40All right, mech operator. An opening.
3:05:42It's time to meet your maker. You're
3:05:44talking [ __ ] to a Krampus judge? Fire.
3:05:47Good luck, buddy. This is not as
3:05:48difficult to deal with as I thought.
3:05:51Anti-void hunter mech.
3:05:53In name only.
3:05:56Yo, she just said your tech is [ __ ]
3:05:59bro.
3:06:09You bought this [ __ ] from the dollar
3:06:10store, didn't you? Huh?
3:06:12Huh?
3:06:14>> [laughter]
3:06:20>> Okay.
3:06:25Watch, guys. After we beat him, he's
3:06:27going to blame the mech for being bad.
3:06:29And then all I'll have to say to that is
3:06:33a true craftsman
3:06:36never blames his tools.
3:06:49Light work.
3:06:50Light work.
3:06:51After taking down the mech sent by Tops.
3:06:54That so-called anti-void hunter whatever
3:06:57mech.
3:06:58With a name like that, I thought it'd be
3:07:00a real threat. Turns out it went down in
3:07:03seconds. [ __ ] guys. They must have
3:07:06bought it from Temu.
3:07:08>> [laughter]
3:07:09>> Wait a second. Doesn't that mean
3:07:11we're basically on the same level as a
3:07:14void hunter?
3:07:16If word gets out that we took this thing
3:07:18down,
3:07:18>> [laughter]
3:07:18>> Public Security's got to give me a raise
3:07:21and a promotion, right? Then I'm getting
3:07:24myself an honorary citizen Starlight
3:07:26Billy custom bike paint job.
3:07:28And when we're back, I'm designing a
3:07:31signature custom mech for
3:07:32>> A
3:07:35to god. I swear to god. I mean, I feel
3:07:37like they would have shown it in the
3:07:38live stream if they did make one.
3:07:41But imagine a finisher combo
3:07:44for
3:07:46Honey Hairs.
3:07:50That would be cinema.
3:07:53I'll even let you name the move this
3:07:55time.
3:07:56Generous, right?
3:07:58Hey manager,
3:08:00you listening?
3:08:02Belle,
3:08:04where are you going?
3:08:04>> Oh, we're sleepwalking again.
3:08:06Wait.
3:08:08What are you?
3:08:09Oh, we're probably going towards the
3:08:11definitely not a coffin. A ringing fills
3:08:14your head. Your companion's voices grow
3:08:16distant, muffled.
3:08:18At the same time, the pain behind your
3:08:20eyes comes rushing back.
3:08:22Your body moves before your mind can
3:08:23catch up. As if pulled by invisible
3:08:25strings, you stumble forward, unable to
3:08:27stop yourself.
3:08:29Well,
3:08:30this is where we say goodbye, my old
3:08:33friend.
3:08:35And I truly hope that we never
3:08:40see each other again.
3:08:48Wait.
3:08:49Wait, what did it do to us?
3:08:52>> [crying]
3:08:54>> Oh.

3:16:59that. I didn't think that they would do
3:17:00that. And they did. And now
3:17:03the world's our oyster. So sick.
3:17:06Especially given that they have been
3:17:07setting up Faith in as obvious Not
3:17:09necessarily a villain per se in this in
3:17:11this chapter, but they have been setting
3:17:13it up that we obviously had
3:17:16some sort of antagonistic role in terms
3:17:20of what happened back then, which, like
3:17:22I said, probably involved us losing
3:17:24control of our power because the
3:17:25experiment went too far.
3:17:29Didn't expect expect us to turn into
3:17:31iron tomb, but you know,
3:17:34pretty sick.

3:25:01empty, okay? Down to the last poly
3:25:03chrome, it is ending. It's over. However
3:25:06much I get with whatever I have on my
3:25:07account at that point is
3:25:16This is my oath.
3:25:18This is my oath.
3:25:21Every dollar
3:25:23is going into 3.1.
3:25:25Your mic exploded? Oh, sorry. All right,
3:25:26guys. Sorry for the crunchy mic.
3:25:29Uh, clearly my mic couldn't handle the
3:25:31absolute goddess and beauty that is
3:25:33Ramiel on the screen. So, sorry about
3:25:34that.
3:25:37It's okay. I don't want to move on from
3:25:39the screen, but we took a screenshot so
3:25:41we can we'll we'll continue admiring.
3:25:43We'll continue admiring later. I think
3:25:45we've already been sitting here for like
3:25:462 hours so.
3:25:48>> [gasps]
3:25:49>> Okay.
3:25:50Shh.
3:25:51Don't speak.
3:25:53You need to stabilize [music]
3:25:54the ether running through you.
3:25:57I know what you want to ask. But first,
3:26:01I think I owe you a proper apology.
3:26:05I'm sorry.
3:26:07I should have come here sooner, warned
3:26:09you to leave sooner, and
3:26:12erased my trail sooner.
3:26:14So, so wait. So, were those ghosts? Cuz
3:26:16those ghosts were from the past self.
3:26:20Well, does that mean that we were with
3:26:22her in the past? I'm always like this.
3:26:25Only realizing things when it's already
3:26:27too late. Thinking, "Ah, if only I'd
3:26:31acted sooner."
3:26:33So, does this mean that we Like she's
3:26:35literally like she's literally like
3:26:37>> [laughter]
3:26:38>> She is literally the ultimate waifu
3:26:40trope. We used to be We used to be close
3:26:43in the past and then amnesia hit and
3:26:45then and then now he reunited and she's
3:26:48been helping us.
3:26:49Haha.
3:26:51Although, I didn't expect that you'd
3:26:54make it all the way here on your own
3:26:56without relying
3:26:56>> the teacher. I mean, it could be Carol.
3:26:58It could be that she was with Carol
3:26:59before
3:27:01and then we are just re-witnessing what
3:27:02happened between her and Carol.
3:27:05It's just the figure was hooded, and it
3:27:07clearly they're clearly being very vague
3:27:09about that figure because Carol has
3:27:11horns, and we've seen visions of her
3:27:12with horns. But then, that hooded figure
3:27:14did not have the horns. They were just
3:27:15hooded. So,
3:27:18This is my fault.
3:27:19So,
3:27:21I'm sorry.
3:27:23I have to apologize to you once more.
3:27:26And now,
3:27:27I suppose it's time to answer what's
3:27:29been on your mind.
3:27:31What is hidden here was once my Void
3:27:34Hunter's weapon.
3:27:35Thamuz
3:27:37Those golden eyes of yours, those
3:27:40nightmares you can't shake.
3:27:42I know why they exist and where they
3:27:45come from.
3:27:47Wait.
3:27:49So, earlier when she was talking about
3:27:51burying
3:27:55herself or putting herself to rest,
3:28:00so, she was so she sealed away her Void
3:28:03Hunter weapon.
3:28:09And then,
3:28:10cuz it was kind of implying that it's
3:28:12like this is
3:28:14So, it's like her symbolic death or
3:28:15that's like sort of her
3:28:18symbolic death as a Void Hunter. Oh oh
3:28:20my god.
3:28:21My brain my brain is frying right now.
3:28:23I'm so I can't I can't think. I can't
3:28:25think when she's staring at me like
3:28:26that.
3:28:27I can't
3:28:28>> [laughter and gasps]
3:28:28>> I cannot theorize when she's looking at
3:28:30me like I'm so sorry. We'll we'll
3:28:32theorize later. Helios
3:28:34We both know this name pretty well.
3:28:37And yet,
3:28:38it holds completely different meanings
3:28:40for us. It was once the cause tied to
3:28:43me.
3:28:44And now, it's the effect tied to you.
3:28:48Cause?
3:28:51Helios
3:28:52caused
3:28:54>> [music]
3:28:55>> her
3:28:57and her Void Hunter weapon.
3:29:01Helios made the Helios was maybe making
3:29:03the Void Hunter weapons.
3:29:06So, that's why it was the cause that was
3:29:08tied to her in the past and then now
3:29:10it's the effect that we're dealing with.
3:29:13Maybe they were trying to turn Faith in
3:29:14into Void or they were trying to merge
3:29:16us with a Void Hunter weapon.
3:29:21Cuz clearly it seems like we're
3:29:22compatible, right? Since we were able to
3:29:25absorb the power just now.
3:29:27It was just too powerful for us.
3:29:31What if they were trying to turn Faith
3:29:32in into living weapons? I mean, they
3:29:34kind
3:29:35I I feel like there's always been a kind
3:29:37of theory that that could be possible.
3:29:40But that's kind of what I'm interpreting
3:29:41from this.
3:29:44As Helios was dealing with Void Hunter
3:29:46weapons and trying to harness the energy
3:29:48of the Void Hunter weapons where
3:29:50whatever the origins are, my theory from
3:29:52the Hollows.
3:29:54And then
3:29:56So, then they were taking this
3:29:58experiment further, trying to turn maybe
3:30:01people into living weapons. I maybe
3:30:03Faith it.
3:30:06Hm, we'll see. Your condition, it stems
3:30:09from opposing forces inside you.
3:30:12And the balance between them has already
3:30:14broken.
3:30:16Your contact with Thamyris has only
3:30:19accelerated your fall into the abyss you
3:30:22were already sliding toward.
3:30:25So, our contact with the weapon
3:30:27is accelerating our
3:30:30whatever hap whatever they did to us.
3:30:32>> But
3:30:33this [music] isn't incurable.
3:30:36You know that.
3:30:38I do, too.
3:30:40It's just
3:30:44I'm sorry.
3:30:46>> [music]
3:30:46>> With what I can do
3:30:48I can only help you ease it temporarily.
3:30:51If you want to cure these symptoms once
3:30:53and for all,
3:30:54No,
3:30:55if you want to uproot the chronic blight
3:30:58[music] from Helios,
3:31:00You must find your answers in
3:31:01Roscalifer.
3:31:03>> Go to Roscalifer.
3:31:04>> [laughter]
3:31:05>> There, you'll find the doctor best
3:31:08suited for both of us.
3:31:12I wonder, is the doctor referring to Sun
3:31:15Bearer?
3:31:17But before that,
3:31:19what you need most is rest.
3:31:22Don't make your friends worry. [music]
3:31:25Get a good night's sleep.
3:31:29Cuz
3:31:30Sun Bearer created bang booze. We have
3:31:33the ability to
3:31:36connect to bang booze
3:31:39through our
3:31:43you know, Eos and stuff.
3:31:50But she said best doctor best suited to
3:31:52both of us.
3:31:53Where's it for answers? I don't [ __ ]
3:31:55know.
3:31:56I can't You know what?
3:31:58We'll think later. Before everything
3:32:00becomes too late.
3:32:03The massive wings fold in instantly and
3:32:05it feels like warm fingers gently
3:32:07brushing across your forehead. Wrapped
3:32:09in an inexplicable sense of calm, you
3:32:11drift into a deep sleep.
3:32:14>> [music]
3:32:18>> The doctor is an NPC the true legendary
3:32:21doctor. Yeah, the true invincible
3:32:23doctor, immortal doctor NPC living on
3:32:26forever.
3:32:27>> [laughter]
3:32:30>> Your consciousness drift through a long
3:32:32stretch of haze, like the sun sinking
3:32:34into the deep sea only to slowly rise
3:32:36again from the dark waters after a long
3:32:37night.
3:32:39Dot dot dot.
3:32:40Dot dot dot.
3:32:42Dot dot dot.
3:32:46What's going on?
3:32:53I'm
3:32:55home?
3:32:58You're awake.
3:32:59Don't sit up yet. Give it a minute.
3:33:02You need to rest. They're playing the
3:33:04sad music.
3:33:06I
3:33:07How's Billy and the others? I
3:33:10Right. [crying]
3:33:12Billy and Secia and Promia.
3:33:14Are they okay?
3:33:16They're all fine.
3:33:17No need [clears throat] to worry. Billy
3:33:19and Secia were here the entire time,
3:33:21actually.
3:33:22They were kind of getting loud, though,
3:33:24and I didn't want them waking you, so I
3:33:26sent them downstairs.
3:33:28As for Promia, she left after making
3:33:30sure you were stable. Oh, and she left
3:33:33you a note, but Secia took it. Oh. She
3:33:36said she needed to log it as evidence.
3:33:38Oh.
3:33:40Sorry.
3:33:41I made you worry again.
3:33:43Yo, Secia, why you stealing my note from
3:33:45my wife? Huh?
3:33:46>> you worry again.
3:33:48It's okay. It's over.
3:33:51You're safe now.
3:33:53Is it
3:33:54really over?
3:33:56Is it
3:33:57really over?
3:34:01It's only just beginning.
3:34:03Everything that happened in the Hollow.
3:34:06Back in the Hollow, I
3:34:08I don't even know why,
3:34:10but I just had to touch it.
3:34:13That Void Hunter's weapon.
3:34:15It was calling to me.
3:34:17It was the ring. It was the ring. It was
3:34:20my precious.
3:34:21And the moment I touched it,
3:34:23I
3:34:24I think I blacked out, but
3:34:27I could feel it.
3:34:28Like I was back into that same state as
3:34:30before.
3:34:32Teacher,
3:34:33that incident I caused,
3:34:36it never really ended, did it?
3:34:43So, the incident from back then?
3:34:47They're confirming. They're confirming
3:34:49that it was
3:34:52we caused it.
3:34:59Is the
3:35:00the
3:35:04It's okay.
3:35:05Stop overthinking.
3:35:07It's all over now.
3:35:11Are you hungry? I'll get you something.
3:35:14You kept repeating Rose Calipher in your
3:35:16sleep.
3:35:17Is that some kind of snack brand?
3:35:25Remind me really quickly. You know that
3:35:27the Okay, the thing the thing that Carol
3:35:29Arna is getting lynched for. The thing
3:35:31that everyone blames her for. That was
3:35:33was that wasn't the expansion of Hollow
3:35:35Zero, right? That was just the That was
3:35:37just like the incident that happened
3:35:38with Helios Academy. The that caused
3:35:41like huge destruction in New Eridu.
3:35:43Right?
3:35:45Cuz I'm I'm pretty sure they're
3:35:46referring to that same incident that was
3:35:49what the one that was Carol Arna was
3:35:50being blamed for.
3:35:53The Hollow Expansion is what Carol Arna
3:35:54is being blamed for. Okay. Okay. So,
3:35:57because they kept referring to that
3:35:59incident before
3:36:01as the thing that Carol Arna is being
3:36:02blamed for, which is the Hollow
3:36:03Expansion, that means we we are
3:36:06responsible for the Hollow Expansion.
3:36:10I think that's what they're saying here.
3:36:12Cuz why else
3:36:14why else would
3:36:16she she say that
3:36:22that incident I caused it never really
3:36:24ended.
3:36:28Obviously, it could be referring to a
3:36:30different incident, but I feel like with
3:36:32context clues, we are supposed to assume
3:36:34at this point in time [music]
3:36:36that it's referring to that incident,
3:36:38the Hollow expansion that Carol Arna is
3:36:40being blamed for.
3:36:45What?
3:36:54That's crazy. That's crazy.
3:36:58>> [laughter]
3:36:59>> If that's true, this is insane.
3:37:03Rosca Lefer? And Remiel?
3:37:07Rosca Lefer?
3:37:09Actually, it sounds more like a place.
3:37:13So, like we lost control of the power
3:37:16back then?
3:37:17And then that caused the Hollow
3:37:19expansion? We had the power and
3:37:21capability to cause the Hollows to
3:37:24expand?
3:37:30Has science gone too far? Has science
3:37:32gone too far?
3:37:34Before I passed out, I
3:37:36I think I saw Remiel.
3:37:38She mentioned this place and said
3:37:40there's someone there who can completely
3:37:43fix my eyes. Clearly, it's the blonde
3:37:45guy in the 3.0 trailer, the one that we
3:37:47only saw the back of, the possible NPC.
3:37:51Clearly, Luke Hershon is the only doctor
3:37:54who can [laughter] save us.
3:37:57And she brought up Helios Academy.
3:38:01Ugh,
3:38:01my head.
3:38:03I can't remember.
3:38:05Hey, it's fine.
3:38:06Don't force it. If you can't remember,
3:38:09you can't remember.
3:38:10Just focus on resting. Oh, speaking of
3:38:13Remiel,
3:38:14Billy and the others brought back the
3:38:15competition prize, the Porceloid W
3:38:18engine.
3:38:19It's on the table over there.
3:38:22Remiel didn't go back on her promise,
3:38:24this W engine. Wait, so what was the W
3:38:26engine needed for?
3:38:30Remiel?
3:38:31She kept her word.
3:38:33Oh, okay.
3:38:34>> one.
3:38:35Don't tell me this W engine is the key
3:38:38to unlocking that last strange seal. But
3:38:41somehow
3:38:43even without it
3:38:45I managed to do the same thing. And
3:38:48Remiel's goal from the start, it was
3:38:51probably to retrieve her void hunter
3:38:53weapon.
3:38:54But again, who put it there to begin
3:38:56with?
3:38:59I'm getting dizzy again. Whoever the
3:39:01[ __ ] she was with, the with this
3:39:02mysterious entity. Well that we don't
3:39:05know about.
3:39:06You're overthinking again, aren't you?
3:39:09Just worry about that later.
3:39:11For now, focus on recovering.
3:39:13That's the priority, okay? Wise, how the
3:39:16hell am I not supposed to overthink
3:39:17given the amount of knowledge they just
3:39:19dumped on us?
3:39:21>> [laughter]
3:39:23>> They just dumped so much stuff on us.
3:39:26Dot dot dot. I
3:39:28want to go downstairs. Wise, can I go
3:39:31downstairs for a bit? Lying here is
3:39:33driving me crazy. And I want to check in
3:39:37with Billy and Cecilia. Let them know
3:39:39I'm okay.
3:39:40What if the second person was a Hoshimi
3:39:42void hunter? The second person could
3:39:44quite literally be anyone.
3:39:46It could be literally anyone.
3:39:49Mhm,
3:39:50okay. But you have to take it slow. No
3:39:53running or jumping.
3:39:55You must be starving. I'll warm up some
3:39:57milk and find you something to eat.
3:39:58>> Guys, the only that second person
3:40:03was Pearlman.
3:40:06Pearlman is the mysterious seventh void
3:40:08hunter that has yet to be seen.
3:40:15I don't know.
3:40:16Sometimes it's the people you expect the
3:40:18least, huh? Huh?
3:40:20Huh?
3:40:23Once Pearlman He gets
3:40:26his void hunter weapon, He gains an inch
3:40:28in height.
3:40:29>> been right.
3:40:34Yep, that's right. I said it. I said it.
3:40:37Oh yo, I'm in your walls. I'm sorry. I
3:40:39just I just exposed your your future
3:40:41plot line. I apologize. I apologize. I
3:40:43didn't mean to spoil like that. Didn't
3:40:45mean to leak. That's on me. My bad.
3:40:48But listen.
3:40:51I'm just too smart. What can I say?
3:40:55What's up, Billy?
3:40:59Bell, you're awake. How do you feel?
3:41:01Anything hurt? Dizzy? Want some water?
3:41:03Or
3:41:04uh
3:41:05chips?
3:41:06Manager.
3:41:07Finally.
3:41:09My log shows you were unconscious for 5
3:41:11hours, 14 minutes, and 33 seconds.
3:41:14This was easily the longest WAIT OF MY
3:41:17YEAR. OH MY GOD, he was timing it.
3:41:20Relax,
3:41:22chill.
3:41:22>> don't freak out. I'm okay. Really.
3:41:26Thanks for bringing me back. But I
3:41:28really owe you an apology.
3:41:30I
3:41:30I must have really scared you back
3:41:32there, huh?
3:41:33You guys didn't get hurt, did you?
3:41:36Hearing this, the two of them
3:41:37immediately start fumbling and joking
3:41:39around, exaggerating their reactions to
3:41:41lighten the mood.
3:41:42Hurt? What are you talking about,
3:41:44manager? This new look?
3:41:47Field tested, baby.
3:41:49That little ether energy blast didn't
3:41:51even leave a scratch. Yeah, you
3:41:54seriously underestimate our battle
3:41:56hardened survival skills. We handled it
3:41:59easy.
3:42:00Aw, they're trying to comfort us cuz
3:42:02they're they're trying to play it off to
3:42:05make Bell not feel as bad.
3:42:06>> But you, uh
3:42:08you're our precious proxy and lifetime
3:42:11meal ticket. If you go down, who's going
3:42:13to take us out for good food? This is
3:42:16all Top's fault and that Remiel.
3:42:19Oh dude, is the CIA about to become
3:42:20Remiel's opp?
3:42:22>> [laughter]
3:42:22>> Turn to Billy. Billy,
3:42:25if you did any maintenance for your new
3:42:27form, I can foot the bill.
3:42:29I don't want to make things difficult
3:42:31between you and Nicole.
3:42:34That's not a problem at all.
3:42:36Nicole,
3:42:38well,
3:42:38she just hasn't replied to me in a
3:42:40while. Y'all, is Nicole ghosting him?
3:42:44Did she land some big job? Or is she
3:42:45lying low somewhere again?
3:42:48Wait.
3:42:49Wait. Nicole lands a big job? And then
3:42:54the big job is involved with whatever's
3:42:56going to happen in Russ Killefer 3.x?
3:42:58And then at the end at the end of 3.x
3:43:03S Reg Nicole comes out.
3:43:13S Nicole
3:43:14S Nicole is on the way.
3:43:17So, what? She picked up another shady,
3:43:20high-paying job? Or messed something up
3:43:23and went into hiding again? Guys,
3:43:25guys, I see it. I see the plan. Uh
3:43:30Hey!
3:43:31Technically speaking, Nicole and Bianka
3:43:35have
3:43:36>> of them? off the grid.
3:43:38Last thing she sent me was this.
3:43:41>> the Cunning Hairs team up?
3:43:44What?
3:43:45Billy pulls up a slightly blurry image
3:43:47on his phone. Woah. What is it? This
3:43:51photo's awful. Can't tell a thing from
3:43:52it.
3:43:53What?
3:43:54Why [laughter] is she running from all
3:43:56the night boos? Did she just rob a
3:43:58[ __ ] castle? Excuse me. Uh, looks
3:44:02like this was taken in the middle of
3:44:03chaos.
3:44:04Is she running?
3:44:07Now, based on my extensive survival
3:44:10experience as a proud member of the
3:44:12Cunning Hairs,
3:44:14no doubt about it, that's a high-level
3:44:17escape maneuver. Look at that motion
3:44:19blur. Pure split-second genius. I will
3:44:22be honest, I did not expect there to be
3:44:24any Nicole content in this
3:44:26>> [laughter]
3:44:27[gasps]
3:44:27>> No, I'm glad there is. But, don't worry.
3:44:30Nicole's got a talent for scamming and
3:44:34I [clears throat] mean, quick-thinking
3:44:36and getting out of tight spots. So, we
3:44:39find Wait, I still want to see I want to
3:44:41see Nicole and Andy's reaction to
3:44:43Billy's new form. What?
3:44:46There are ways. I don't know how to get
3:44:47that. Damn it.
3:44:49>> claw their way out of a whole mob of
3:44:51debt collectors empty-handed. That
3:44:52sucks.
3:44:53>> Odds are they just stumbled into some
3:44:55massive deal and went into business
3:44:57blackout mode. So, manager, until boss
3:45:00makes her glorious return, I'm rolling
3:45:02with you.
3:45:03I can keep you safe in the meantime. No
3:45:06shady people or weird stuff getting
3:45:08anywhere near you again. Okay, Billy.
3:45:11Me, too. That demon lord heard what
3:45:13happened and gave me another month of
3:45:15paid leave,
3:45:16telling me to closely assist you with
3:45:19everything. A month? So, wherever you
3:45:22go, I go. Just cover food and lodging.
3:45:24Yeah.
3:45:27Feels like the shop's expenses are
3:45:28rapidly increasing. Did Premia leave any
3:45:31messages?
3:45:32Why do I feel like our living costs and
3:45:35accidental damage insurance are about to
3:45:37skyrocket?
3:45:38Oh, right. I heard Premia left me a
3:45:41note.
3:45:42All [laughter] right, Cecilia goes in
3:45:43the luggage.
3:45:45Yeah. Here. This is all she left. Super
3:45:48cryptic as always. No, no, no. Cecilia's
3:45:50in the carry-on, okay? The luggage is
3:45:52full of snacks.
3:45:55You want to fold the note. The
3:45:56handwriting is sharp and concise. Just
3:45:58two short lines. Don't trust Tom's
3:46:02including Krampus
3:46:05and me.
3:46:09That's it?
3:46:10That's very her. Okay, sorry. I misread
3:46:13earlier
3:46:14the note. I thought it was from Remiel,
3:46:16but it was from Ferme.
3:46:18>> [laughter]
3:46:18>> I'm sorry. My Remiel brain rot is too
3:46:20strong.
3:46:22That's it.
3:46:23Yeah, that's so her. All right, crisis
3:46:27averted for now.
3:46:29Anyway, it's high time you refueled,
3:46:31manager.
3:46:32I recommend my personally crafted injury
3:46:34recovery set meal. Hey, hold it.
3:46:38Anything you recommend is going to be
3:46:39something weird. Belle's not made of
3:46:42steel, you know. She needs something
3:46:44warm like a rice noodle rolls, plus
3:46:48fried chicken, and egg pudding. Stop,
3:46:51I'm getting so hungry.
3:46:53Typical public security methods. Way too
3:46:56basic. You'll only get real efficiency
3:46:59by listening to a pro like me, living
3:47:01life in the crossfire every day.
3:47:04I'll go prep it right now.
3:47:06Why are Billy and Cecilia so sibling
3:47:08coded? Stop. I did not expect Cecilia
3:47:12and Billy to have such a fun dynamic.
3:47:14>> [laughter]
3:47:15[gasps]
3:47:16>> Cuz I I mean, like we got to saw a
3:47:17little bit of it in 2.7, but the way
3:47:20it's developed into this really kind of
3:47:22close, just
3:47:24funny little random bickering
3:47:26>> [laughter]
3:47:27>> is so silly.
3:47:28>> The point is healing the soul, okay? The
3:47:30soul. Hey, hey, hey, don't block me. If
3:47:33I'm late, they'll steal all of the rice
3:47:35noodle rolls.
3:47:36>> [snorts]
3:47:37>> Before long, the two of them shoved
3:47:38their way out the door bickering all the
3:47:40way.
3:47:40>> [laughter]
3:47:42>> Once it's quiet again, Remiel's words
3:47:43resurface unbidden in your mind. Rus
3:47:46Califer and her connecting to Helios.
3:47:48Just as you're about to ask Ferry to
3:47:49look into it, a noise comes from where
3:47:51A-18 is.
3:47:53This feels strangely familiar. Oh,
3:47:57Norman Valdina.
3:48:00Hello.
3:48:01All right, let's look at your models
3:48:03again.
3:48:08Okay.
3:48:10Crazy work with Valena.
3:48:12>> [laughter]
3:48:13>> The noodle arms and the abundant buns.
3:48:18>> [laughter]
3:48:20>> Pretty wild.
3:48:22I told you we're on official business
3:48:24this time. Why do you got to keep
3:48:26stopping us? Your course should be able
3:48:28to identify this authorization code.
3:48:31Here, let me see. Norma Patience. We
3:48:35must allow this sweet little bang boo to
3:48:37give word of our arrival first.
3:48:40Was Norma trying to bully 18 into
3:48:45Was she trying to reprogram 18?
3:48:46[laughter]
3:48:48The two unexpected visitors are now
3:48:49fixing their intense gazes on the
3:48:51slightly flustered 18.
3:48:54Bullying my bang boo again, I see. What
3:48:57do you two want?
3:48:58You two didn't come all this way just to
3:49:00bully my bang boo, did you? What's up
3:49:02this time? Oh, good to see you're all
3:49:04right.
3:49:05Anyone inside who shouldn't be here?
3:49:08Yeah, whatever. It doesn't matter.
3:49:10You'll need official clearance to get in
3:49:11anyway.
3:49:13Belly. Belly, come on. Show them.
3:49:15Manager Bell, please excuse Norma. It's
3:49:18rather important, so she's quite anxious
3:49:20to get things done.
3:49:23Valena hands over a pristine document
3:49:25bearing top secret security seals.
3:49:28This is a special assistance request
3:49:30jointly issued by Mayor Mayflower's
3:49:32office and Marcel Group regarding your
3:49:34recent experiences in the hollow and
3:49:38symptoms.
3:49:39We've concluded that you require
3:49:41immediate comprehensive examination and
3:49:45treatment.
3:49:45>> Doctor?
3:49:47Is this that mysterious doctor they
3:49:49mentioned? Therefore, on behalf of the
3:49:52Rose Califer External Strategy
3:49:54Department, Norma and I formally invite
3:49:57you and your brother to temporarily
3:49:59reside in New Areadou's classified
3:50:01airspace zone, Rose Calipher. Yo,
3:50:06okay. We're getting a full-ass invite.
3:50:09Also, whenever I see I see strategy
3:50:11department or strategic, I just think of
3:50:14the strategic investment department
3:50:17of Star [laughter] Rail.
3:50:19Go to Rose Calipher?
3:50:22Go to Rose Calipher
3:50:25for treatment? That's right. The name
3:50:28may sound unfamiliar to you now, but we
3:50:31were only authorized to introduce
3:50:33ourselves in this capacity after
3:50:34receiving approval from both the special
3:50:36zone and city administration. Norma and
3:50:39I belong to the same department, the
3:50:42Rose Calipher External Strategy
3:50:43Department, responsible for all
3:50:46external-facing affairs. We typically
3:50:49operate under the name of the Marcel
3:50:50Group, acting as the bridge between the
3:50:53special zone and the rest of New Eridu.
3:50:56Mm, okay. As for further details,
3:50:59intermediaries [music]
3:51:00>> more until the time is right. All your
3:51:03questions should be answered once you
3:51:05arrive. Then it's settled. We've already
3:51:07obtained your abnormal physiological
3:51:09data through
3:51:10well,
3:51:11legal monitoring methods.
3:51:13>> Oh, I'm sure. Ordinary hospitals in New
3:51:15Eridu won't be able to handle a case
3:51:16like this. Very legal, I'm sure.
3:51:19>> [laughter]
3:51:20>> So, we'll prepare the necessary
3:51:21procedures as soon as possible. You
3:51:23should start getting ready on your end.
3:51:28Rose Calipher, just like Remiel said.
3:51:31Getting treated in Rose Calipher.
3:51:33That's exactly what Remiel said back
3:51:35then.
3:51:37Do they know Remiel?
3:51:39Wait, you said Remiel?
3:51:42Oh.
3:51:43>> Did she say anything else?
3:51:47Don't reveal everything to Velina.
3:51:49She's always been enigmatic, and after
3:51:52everything that happened in the Hollow,
3:51:53my memory's kind of hazy.
3:51:56I just remember her telling me to go to
3:51:58Rose Cailfor.
3:51:58>> Is that so?
3:52:01Perfectly rational well-intentioned
3:52:03proposal and a troublesome fugitive to
3:52:05boot.
3:52:08Wait.
3:52:09Fugitive? Wait, fugitive?
3:52:12What did she do?
3:52:14I suppose we have a responsibility to
3:52:16clarify the danger she poses, manager.
3:52:19Remiel Dan is currently listed as an
3:52:22S-class fugitive by the Rose Cailfor
3:52:24airspace. S-class? Wanted for What's the
3:52:27crime? For being a baddie? For being a
3:52:31pink-haired baddie who I cannot take my
3:52:33eyes off of?
3:52:35The attempted assassination of Rose
3:52:37Cailfor's High Consul, Lady Sunbringer.
3:52:51She tried to kill her?
3:52:55Huh?
3:52:56Does that mean
3:52:58Does that mean that the scene at the end
3:52:59of the 3.0 trailer
3:53:02might actually be from before we even go
3:53:05to Rose Cailfor? Cuz I thought
3:53:10Cuz okay.
3:53:11I think I and how all of us interpreted
3:53:14it, right? Is that that scene where she
3:53:16confronts Sunbringer is actually going
3:53:19to be at the end of 3.x.
3:53:21But what if that was actually before?
3:53:23So that's like the
3:53:25So she she's already been to Rose
3:53:27Cailfor. She tried to she tried to kill
3:53:28her.
3:53:29I don't know. She tried to get answers,
3:53:31but then they had a fight and then she
3:53:32had she like escaped or whatever. So
3:53:34then that's why they were like, oh, they
3:53:36she attempted to kill her.
3:53:38Whether she actually did or not, I don't
3:53:39know. I don't know.
3:53:42That could be one scenario. Other
3:53:43scenario is that this is literally just
3:53:47an
3:53:48attempt to you know
3:53:53smoke her out.
3:53:54>> [laughter]
3:53:55>> To to bait her out to come out. So, if
3:53:58she, you know, if she's a wanted S-rank
3:53:59criminal, then people are going to be on
3:54:01high alert for her at all times, right?
3:54:03So, maybe they're just trying to find
3:54:04her.
3:54:06Though, I do feel like
3:54:08that
3:54:09I do feel like the first scenario is
3:54:11more likely. That she actually did go to
3:54:13try to get the answers from Sunbringer,
3:54:15and then whether either she didn't like
3:54:16what the answers or something happened
3:54:18that caused them to
3:54:20to square up. So, then they squared up,
3:54:22and then
3:54:24this is the result.
3:54:25What?
3:54:31She tried to kill her?
3:54:34Huh?
3:54:36What the hell could Sunbringer have
3:54:37possibly said to cause her to go at her
3:54:40like that? That's crazy.
3:54:44Assassination?
3:54:46Lady Sunbringer? She tried to
3:54:48assassinate Lady Sunbringer? The first
3:54:51generation Void Hunter, Lady Sunbringer?
3:54:53She's
3:54:54She's still This is so funny. We just
3:54:57learned that first generation Remieldan
3:55:00is still alive. And then now
3:55:02>> [laughter]
3:55:03>> now they immediately dropped it. Oh, by
3:55:04the way, oh by the way, okay. So, yes, a
3:55:07first generation Void Hunter is still
3:55:08alive, but she also tried to kill this
3:55:11other first generation Void Hunter who's
3:55:13also still alive. Just, you know, fun
3:55:15fact. Fun fact of the hour, I guess.
3:55:18>> [laughter]
3:55:19>> Hey, your face is practically screaming,
3:55:22"How is someone famous from 100 years
3:55:24ago still alive?"
3:55:25Not exactly polite, I'd say.
3:55:28Relax. Lady Sunbringer is alive and
3:55:30well.
3:55:31Um make that mostly well. Norma.
3:55:36Anyway, a lot of complicated things
3:55:38happened, and that dangerous individual
3:55:40almost got her way. Just stay away from
3:55:42her, got it?
3:55:44Otherwise, who knows what kind of
3:55:45trouble you'll get dragged into next.
3:55:49Manager,
3:55:50Remiel is directly connected to what you
3:55:53experienced in the Hollow.
3:55:55No matter what she told you,
3:55:57please remain cautious around her. Don't
3:56:00worry. I'll remain cautious around
3:56:02everyone.
3:56:05And if she contacts you again, we ask
3:56:07that you please inform us.
3:56:10Your condition is already unstable, and
3:56:13now you're entangled in something far
3:56:15beyond what any individual can handle.
3:56:18Please, trust us.
3:56:20Trust Lady Sunbringer.
3:56:23Rose Kalipher is here to help you, and
3:56:25we need your cooperation for your safety
3:56:29and to uncover some very important
3:56:31truths. The clearance process will take
3:56:34a bit longer, around a week. Given the
3:56:37urgency, we'll try to expedite it on our
3:56:39end. All right, then. Faith in, travel
3:56:42light. Don't bring a bunch of useless
3:56:44stuff. You won't need it in Rose
3:56:46Kalipher. See you.
3:56:48Not them having to do the paperwork for
3:56:50us to get through customs.
3:56:52>> [laughter]
3:56:54[gasps]
3:56:55>> Damn, even in Zenless Zone Zero, we
3:56:57can't escape customs, y'all.
3:56:59Unlucky.
3:57:00The two of them leave shortly after,
3:57:02before Norma can resist giving 18 a
3:57:04teasing yank. Velina's final words sound
3:57:06like concern, but carry a subtle edge.
3:57:08Refusal doesn't seem like a real option.
3:57:13So much [sighs] information. My brain's
3:57:16about to short-circuit. I should go talk
3:57:18to Wise. You and me both, Belle.
3:57:21Geez.
3:57:23>> [laughter]
3:57:26>> Hello, Wise.
3:57:29After recounting everything that just
3:57:31happened,
3:57:33Rose Kalipher, first-generation Void
3:57:35Hunters, an attempted assassination,
3:57:38becoming a wanted fugitive. Everything
3:57:40Velina just told us sounds like someone
3:57:42slammed the most dramatic chapter of a
3:57:44mystery novel right in our faces.
3:57:46>> [snorts]
3:57:46>> Especially the whole attempted
3:57:48assassination of Lady Sunbringer part.
3:57:51Never thought I'd be sitting here
3:57:53speculating about the ancient grudges
3:57:54between two first generation void
3:57:56hunters. Guys, the first generation tea
3:58:00must be piping hot.
3:58:03>> [laughter]
3:58:05>> Now I'm nosy. Now I'm becoming a nosy
3:58:08[ __ ] I want to know. I want to know
3:58:10what happened. What the hell happened
3:58:12back then that that caused all of this
3:58:15[ __ ] to to go down now? Like
3:58:17>> [laughter]
3:58:18>> What's going on?
3:58:20We've met Remiel and she's been
3:58:22impossible to read. So, what's Lady
3:58:25Sunbringer like?
3:58:27Dignified, just, kind. Saint-like? Or
3:58:31perhaps our expectations will be
3:58:32completely shattered. Ugh, with all the
3:58:35insane news lately, even if it turns out
3:58:39that dignified, fair, and kind Lady
3:58:41Sunbringer loves Starlight Night cosplay
3:58:43just like Billy, ugh, I probably
3:58:45wouldn't even be shocked anymore.
3:58:47Mhm, probably.
3:58:50Cross-referencing historical behavioral
3:58:52patterns complete. The probability that
3:58:54subject Sunbringer shares Billy's
3:58:57enthusiasm [laughter] for Starlight
3:58:58Night cosplay is below 1.25%.
3:59:02There's still a 1.25%
3:59:04probability?
3:59:06Ugh. Let's not make up any strange head
3:59:09canons about Lady Sunbringer. Hey,
3:59:11what's so strange about that head canon,
3:59:13huh? What's wrong with being a Starlight
3:59:15a Starlight Night fan? Otherwise, you
3:59:17got a problem? But she and Remiel,
3:59:20they're both legendary first generation
3:59:22void hunters, former partners.
3:59:25And now they're trying to kill each
3:59:26other?
3:59:27What could have happened between them?
3:59:30Yo, guys, I know I know Remiel is our
3:59:32wife, but the possible doomed Yuri as
3:59:35well.
3:59:36>> [laughter]
3:59:38>> Ooh.
3:59:41Depending on what they do with
3:59:42Sunbringer and and Ramiel and the Void
3:59:44Hunters original Void Hunters history,
3:59:47oh, that dynamic could go so crazy.
3:59:50Error. Insufficient data access
3:59:53permissions.
3:59:54Unable to retrieve detailed records for
3:59:56target location, Ross Caliher. The toxic
3:59:59doomed Yuri could go so hard. So, this
4:00:03classified airspace zone.
4:00:05What? Is it literally floating above
4:00:07everyone's heads in New Eridu?
4:00:10Never mind. That's not important right
4:00:12now.
4:00:13Ramiel or Velina who represents Ross
4:00:15Caliher.
4:00:17Honestly, I don't think we can fully
4:00:19trust either of them.
4:00:21I don't trust a single person that we
4:00:22met throughout these past few patches,
4:00:24except for Cecilia.
4:00:27And Billy, cuz we didn't meet Billy
4:00:28during these past few patches.
4:00:29>> [laughter]
4:00:31>> Agree. Yeah, Velina's offering a pretty
4:00:35solid solution on the surface,
4:00:37but there's something about it that
4:00:39feels
4:00:40like we're being forced into a corner to
4:00:42take their offer. And Ramiel, even if
4:00:45she's a wanted fugitive now, from
4:00:47everything you've told me, she doesn't
4:00:49seem like some deranged murderer trying
4:00:51to kill her old partner.
4:00:53And she mentioned Helios Academy, as
4:00:55well.
4:00:56Wise, it's the tea.
4:00:59The tea, we need to find it. There might
4:01:02be something going on here, but that
4:01:04also means this could be your chance.
4:01:06There's probably something bigger going
4:01:08on behind all this.
4:01:10But that could be an opportunity for us.
4:01:12And honestly, Velina wasn't wrong about
4:01:14one thing.
4:01:16My condition.
4:01:17It's spiraling.
4:01:19If Ramiel hadn't stepped in this time,
4:01:22I don't even want to think about what
4:01:23would have happened. Which leaves us
4:01:25with a single rational course of action.
4:01:29Ross Caliher. Ross Caliher.
4:01:31It's not just our only shot at fixing
4:01:33what's wrong with me.
4:01:34>> [music]
4:01:34>> It's also the center of this storm where
4:01:36we can start getting real answers. Yeah,
4:01:38we're going to go to Rose Kalipher and
4:01:40we're going to become so nosy. We're
4:01:42going to do even more investigations.
4:01:44>> too many people in the open and in the
4:01:46shadows trying to guide us right now.
4:01:49But what we do and what [music] we
4:01:50discover, that's still up to us. Come to
4:01:53think of it, maybe this is exactly what
4:01:55teacher would have wanted.
4:01:57She always said, "You have to go beyond
4:01:59what you can see to reach the truth."
4:02:02Besides, [music]
4:02:03we're not alone.
4:02:04Yeah. And hey, we're not doing this
4:02:07alone. We've got Fairy, Eos, Billy, and
4:02:10Secia. Honestly, Eos is probably going
4:02:12to be thrilled about this trip.
4:02:14>> Wait. Wait, so that means we're bringing
4:02:16Secia and Billy with us to Rose
4:02:17Kalipher? For a bamboo, getting to meet
4:02:20their inventor is basically like a movie
4:02:22character meeting
4:02:23>> Wait, that would be so cool.
4:02:24>> or the writer of their story. Kind of
4:02:26wild, right? Oh, I really hope we
4:02:28actually get to bring them with us. That
4:02:29would be so sick. Actually, no, but they
4:02:31wouldn't. No, no, no, no, but but they
4:02:33wouldn't but Malvelina and Norma, they
4:02:35wouldn't let them come because they're
4:02:37not actually important. They're only
4:02:39giving They're probably only giving us
4:02:40the travel permit. Damn.
4:02:42Oh, how cool would that be though if we
4:02:44could actually bring along some other
4:02:45companions to Rose Kalipher alongside us
4:02:48and then we get to actually see them
4:02:50also interact with some of the new
4:02:51characters we meet.
4:02:53When you think about it, there's plenty
4:02:54to look forward to.
4:02:56Let's wait for Billy and Secia to get
4:02:58back and then fill them in.
4:03:00>> [laughter]
4:03:01>> I would love to see old characters
4:03:02tagging along in new season. Exactly,
4:03:04right? Random ass main story team come.
4:03:07[laughter] Hey, if it works.
4:03:10In the distance, you just make out the
4:03:12faint silhouette of a mysterious
4:03:13floating island high above the clouds.
4:03:16Meanwhile, Premya has returned to a safe
4:03:18house.
4:03:19Oh.
4:03:20>> Good work.
4:03:21It's kind of rare to see you like this.
4:03:23>> Jojo. It's nothing.
4:03:26I'll clean it up before I report in. No.
4:03:29I didn't mean that.
4:03:31So,
4:03:32how did it feel traveling with Faith in?
4:03:35You,
4:03:36or rather boss,
4:03:38already saw this coming, didn't you?
4:03:41Boss saw a connection between Faith in
4:03:42and our objective. Figured she'd be an
4:03:45important variable. So, I was told to
4:03:48pass along the order for you to team up.
4:03:50As for what happens next,
4:03:53well, it's like a die that's already
4:03:56been thrown.
4:03:57Until it lands, no one knows what
4:03:59number's going to face [music] up.
4:04:02That's it?
4:04:03Okay, okay.
4:04:06Do you have to be that blunt, Fermion?
4:04:09It's such an un-cute habit. No wonder
4:04:11Dalian keeps trying to avoid you.
4:04:14Hm.
4:04:15Let me think how to put this. I just
4:04:18think being around Faith in might
4:04:20actually
4:04:21be good for you. Good for me?
4:04:25You've seen it yourself.
4:04:27They're
4:04:28different.
4:04:30They risk themselves for people who
4:04:32don't matter to them. They believe in
4:04:34promises that shouldn't even be
4:04:36possible.
4:04:37They
4:04:38spread this kind of
4:04:40uncalculated sincerity.
4:04:43I think getting a little of that
4:04:45foolishness on you
4:04:47Aw.
4:04:48>> a bad thing.
4:04:50Zael was also looking over her.
4:04:52>> Sometimes investing in an unexpected
4:04:54partnership brings a return far beyond
4:04:57what you planned. Trust me. I've seen it
4:05:00happen. Zael, so how does genuine
4:05:02friendship [laughter] feel?
4:05:05Listen, Fermion hasn't had many
4:05:06opportunities to experience that, so.
4:05:08>> For me, this is also a long-term
4:05:11investment in your future value as a
4:05:13partner.
4:05:15So, just think of it as
4:05:18a bit of concern from a very savvy
4:05:21colleague. And besides, the fact that
4:05:24you're standing here patiently waiting
4:05:27for an answer that has nothing to do
4:05:29with efficiency,
4:05:31kind of proves my point, doesn't it?
4:05:34>> [snorts]
4:05:34>> Dot dot dot.
4:05:35>> All right, take it easy for now before
4:05:38the boss calls you in.
4:05:40If I'm right, she's about to hand down
4:05:43some important new orders.
4:05:45Something tells me none of us will be
4:05:48bored for a long time. Shit's about to
4:05:51go down.
4:05:57Zhao hops off, leaving Premier alone and
4:05:59deep in thought.
4:06:01Oh.
4:06:04Oh my god, that's blood.
4:06:06That's blood.
4:06:12Faithan.
4:06:18Stop, this is so depressing.
4:06:21Premier, come, I'll give you a big hug.
4:06:26Oh.
4:06:28Come in.
4:06:31Premier, reporting in.
4:06:35I've already read your report.
4:06:38I failed to keep the situation contained
4:06:40within Tops,
4:06:42which led to developments beyond our
4:06:44expectations.
4:06:46The atmosphere they've created in this
4:06:48comic is kind of nuts. It's fine.
4:06:52Sometimes a few unexpected variables
4:06:54aren't necessarily a bad thing.
4:06:57As for that anomaly, Faithan. Aja,
4:07:00you're not gooning to that scene. Dude,
4:07:02guys, she's going through it, okay? How
4:07:04can I goon when she's going through it?
4:07:07The mood is not appropriate.
4:07:10>> [laughter]
4:07:11>> She's already brushed against
4:07:13>> bad for her.
4:07:15How much do you think she knows?
4:07:18Perhaps
4:07:20still nothing at all.
4:07:23I thought you'd say you hadn't given it
4:07:24any thought, just like usual.
4:07:28Raise your head, Promare.
4:07:31>> my god, stop. She looks so awesome here.
4:07:33Your eyes
4:07:35seem different somehow. She's more
4:07:37alive. She's more alive now.
4:07:41Dot dot dot.
4:07:43Go tell Phoenix.
4:07:45It's time to move.
4:07:46Destination
4:07:49Celestial Nexus Rose Kalipher
4:07:54Phoenix, we're going to we're going to
4:07:56meet up with Phoenix there?
4:07:58New Era Dew hides a secret.
4:08:02Oh, what is this?
4:08:08>> [music]
4:08:09>> It's Prosperity Springs, a bottomless
4:08:11dream of data.
4:08:12>> Kalipher intro here?
4:08:18Oh, this is the trailer. Okay, they
4:08:20Originating from a place far removed
4:08:23>> Wait, this is just straight up the
4:08:24trailer.
4:08:25>> [laughter]
4:08:25>> This is just the PV teaser.
4:08:28Hold on a minute, I think I recognize it
4:08:29now. Rose Kalipher
4:08:32Okay.
4:08:34Inform all department heads of the
4:08:36decision.
4:08:39Why are they including it in the game as
4:08:41well is pretty neat.
4:08:45>> [laughter]
4:08:47>> Weird.
4:08:48Parameters are correct.
4:08:50Why is the output
4:08:52It's good that you stay focused on your
4:08:54>> I still I'm so curious who she is. She's
4:08:56so cute.
4:08:56>> Perhaps it's time I take a closer look
4:08:59at your research [music] budget. Huh?
4:09:01>> [screaming]
4:09:02>> Wait, Selina,
4:09:03you already cut it last month.
4:09:05Mhm. [laughter]
4:09:06The wind's picking up.
4:09:09A storm is coming.
4:09:11>> Oh, I she so pretty in this shot.
4:09:14What agreement? You need my signature,
4:09:16too?
4:09:17Since when did Flint Workshop's opinion
4:09:19matter this much? Please, don't make
4:09:22trouble for dad Abu.
4:09:24Okay, okay, I'll sign it. The rest
4:09:26should be reviewed. And then there's
4:09:28that guy, whoever the hell that is.
4:09:31I guess we'll see later.
4:09:36No elegance.
4:09:38Hey, you all right?
4:09:40Lady Sigrid?
4:09:43What I mean is, your tactics are sound,
4:09:46but your execution still needs work.
4:09:50>> [laughter]
4:09:51>> This is cool, though. I feel like I'm
4:09:52getting to hear the voices
4:09:55of all the characters in more HD
4:09:58And yet within the game.
4:10:01Prosperity Oh.
4:10:03is nothing more than a Wait, you know
4:10:05what I noticed? the source of that
4:10:08Storyteller's fingernails. [music]
4:10:10In in Premia's in her white form. from
4:10:14the heavens One of her fingernails, I
4:10:16think the fourth fingernail on her right
4:10:17hand, it has a little diamond on it.
4:10:21Storyteller has the same diamond on her
4:10:23fingernails.
4:10:24Is this
4:10:26really the outcome you wanted?
4:10:29Those who gaze into the abyss
4:10:32will find the abyss gazing back.
4:10:39Those who abandon their past
4:10:43cannot escape being haunted.
4:10:47Rose Kalifer
4:10:50That towering ideal now stands on the
4:10:54brink of collapse.
4:10:56The old vows
4:10:58may no longer remain.
4:11:01Here goes assassin.
4:11:05Assassin real.
4:11:07All I want
4:11:09is an answer.
4:11:16One that only you can give me.
4:11:20Sunbringer.
4:11:28>> [gasps]
4:11:28>> Sunbringer out here looking like a
4:11:29villain, bro. She's so cool.
4:11:32Oh, it just Okay, it just ends there?
4:11:35Holy [ __ ]
4:11:38Damn.
4:11:41Okay. The fact that it specifically
4:11:43showed her weapon there means this must
4:11:45take place after she retrieved her
4:11:46weapon.
4:11:49True.
4:11:51True.
4:11:58Yeah. Yeah, true. Sorry, I didn't think
4:12:00of that. I was I didn't think of that
4:12:03earlier.
4:12:04So, yeah, I guess this happens No, no,
4:12:06no, sorry, sorry, sorry. What I meant
4:12:07What I meant No, no, no, no, no, no. No,
4:12:09actually no. Exact Sorry, I Let me No,
4:12:12my theory from earlier still stands
4:12:14true. I still feel like this could be
4:12:15happening before we go to Rosaria for
4:12:17So, immediately after we finish the 2.8
4:12:21story, right?
4:12:24In the time period between Faithin
4:12:28arriving to Rosaria for and the end of
4:12:302.8,
4:12:32it's possible that Remiel could have
4:12:34gone and tried to assassinate her then.
4:12:37So, then when when Velina and Norma come
4:12:41to talk I know it's a very small time
4:12:42frame
4:12:43and it's probably not true. It's
4:12:45probably It's very unlikely, but like I
4:12:48guess structurally it's I feel like
4:12:50there's still like the slightest
4:12:51possibility that Remiel could have
4:12:53immediately just yeeted to Rosaria for
4:12:55to square up with to with Sunbringer.
4:12:59So, that now she's on the wanted list.
4:13:01[laughter]
4:13:02So, now she's on the wanted list and
4:13:04then Velina and and then after so then
4:13:07after that happens Velina and Norma come
4:13:09to us to tell us to go to Roskiller,
4:13:11right? For an unrelated, I guess,
4:13:13reason.
4:13:15That's what I'm That's what I was like
4:13:17thinking.
4:13:18Where where the timeline could have
4:13:19aligned cuz yeah, like she obviously has
4:13:21her weapons here. So, it has to be after
4:13:23the story. Which I I was thinking about
4:13:25that earlier. Sorry, it's like it's just
4:13:27really late. So, my brain is kind of
4:13:29>> [laughter]
4:13:29>> it's firing at all the cylinders, but
4:13:33yeah, that that's kind of how I'm like
4:13:35wondering I'm like, oh, I want
4:13:37cuz it if it feels like that interaction
4:13:40feels like that was when she went to
4:13:42square up with her, right? So,
4:13:46that's why I was thinking that, oh,
4:13:49what if that is actually supposed to
4:13:51kind of tease us of for something that
4:13:54did happen already that we're going to
4:13:56get to see more of later in 3.x, right?
4:13:59Maybe they'll say, oh, this happen like
4:14:01we we know that she tried to do that,
4:14:03but we won't really find out why until
4:14:05later on in the story as we get to go to
4:14:07Roskiller and actually kind of discover
4:14:09more of what's going on.
4:14:13But,
4:14:16yeah. Yeah, I get the feeling that since
4:14:18you got a weapon back she immedi- she's
4:14:19going back to Sun Bringer for a rematch.
4:14:21Yeah, like in my head it was I felt like
4:14:23she might have gone immediately to
4:14:26square her
4:14:27>> [laughter]
4:14:28>> right after getting weapon back while we
4:14:29were still recovering and before we got
4:14:32the message from Norma and Velina.
4:14:35So, yeah, anyways.
4:14:39Guys,
4:14:41I do have to say
4:14:43I don't think people are exaggerating. I
4:14:45think that this is actually
4:14:47this is probably one of the best stories
4:14:50we've gotten so far, I think, from
4:14:52Zenless.
4:14:54I think it's funny how they have the
4:14:55wise here even though I played as well,
4:14:57but
4:14:59Yeah.
4:15:01It's just like the quality of it, right?
4:15:02Like when The thing I keep saying is
4:15:05that
4:15:06like between a season 1 and season 2.
4:15:08Like season 1 obviously was more focused
4:15:11on some of the the overarching plot
4:15:13lines that they had set up before, which
4:15:15were super super interesting and doing a
4:15:17good job at kind of teasing and making
4:15:20us question what was going on.
4:15:22And then season 2 was better at in terms
4:15:24of the game itself evolving for for
4:15:26gameplay, you know, storytelling, trying
4:15:29all these new things.
4:15:31>> [clears throat]
4:15:32>> So, and yes, I do feel like you
4:15:34obviously season 2 story kind of like
4:15:35lacked a bit in terms of its writing.
4:15:38Just in the same way that I feel like
4:15:39season 1 lacked a bit in the way that
4:15:42the game played out, right? I think
4:15:44there were a lot of issues in season 1's
4:15:45gameplay for the story that I found
4:15:48little bit boring. But
4:15:51season 3
4:15:53to me, what I've been hoping for is that
4:15:55season 3 will be the perfect
4:15:57amalgamation of the good parts of season
4:16:001 and the good parts of season 2. I
4:16:02season 1, you know, going back to some
4:16:04of the really big plot lines that were
4:16:05super interesting. And then season 2's,
4:16:08you know, amazing gameplay. And then
4:16:10obviously
4:16:12the evolution of the way they are
4:16:14telling the story now with the new
4:16:16completely new type of gameplay.
4:16:19And I do think that the past three
4:16:21chapters, chapter two of the chapters in
4:16:252. Well, I think the AOD the AOD
4:16:28chapter, you know,
4:16:29>> [music]
4:16:29>> and then the two epilogues have been so
4:16:33so good. And the thing is I feel like
4:16:34the quality just keeps going up every
4:16:36chapter.
4:16:39So, this leads me to have very high
4:16:40hopes for season 3.
4:16:42Because the amount of lore that they set
4:16:44up here and have the questions that they
4:16:47have given us from this specific
4:16:51epilogue alone.
4:16:54I need season 3 now, bro. I need season
4:16:573 now. Like this was crazy setup. It was
4:17:00like it was so good because it set up,
4:17:02right? It set up for season 3, but at
4:17:04the same time
4:17:06it was so interesting, too.
4:17:12Damn.
4:17:14Damn.
4:17:16Yeah.
4:17:18I'm so excited.
4:17:20Sorry, there's like still so much stuff
4:17:22I'm processing in my brain right now.
4:17:24And And [laughter] it is It is 3:30 a.m.
4:17:28So, I I think I'll I'll need to I'll
4:17:30need to sleep on whatever
4:17:32all the [ __ ] that we just learned before
4:17:35we talk more about it in depth, but it
4:17:38was just so so fun to play. I feel like
4:17:40at every single given moment it was
4:17:43really amazing. I loved seeing Cecilia's
4:17:45development throughout these past two
4:17:47patches alongside her dynamics with
4:17:49Faithin. I feel like Faithin's writing
4:17:51as well has been super super good, too.
4:17:54We have gotten to see so many different
4:17:56dynamics of Faithin with the playable
4:17:57characters and also just characters in
4:17:59the story, which has been really nice.
4:18:01And
4:18:03I'm I'm really liking the complexities
4:18:04of Faithin's relationship with Remiel,
4:18:08with, you know, Cecilia at first, with
4:18:10And Cecilia's relationship with Premia,
4:18:12then the the the dynamics there. Even
4:18:15Cecilia's relationship with Billy was
4:18:16super unexpected, I said earlier. I
4:18:18honestly did that they were a duo I did
4:18:20not anticipate whatsoever,
4:18:22uh apart from maybe, you know, the
4:18:24banners being slightly
4:18:27related, but I think that they've been
4:18:29so fun to watch on screen. And then also
4:18:32getting to see the kind of nod back to
4:18:34meeting some of the previous characters.
4:18:36We we got to spend some time with Sons
4:18:37of Caladon here. And we also got to walk
4:18:40through the
4:18:42you know, following Remiel to try try
4:18:45like
4:18:45find her from the beginning of the this
4:18:48patch, which I also thought was pretty
4:18:50interesting and a really
4:18:52nice way to kind of tease to tease the
4:18:54information about Remiel, let us kind of
4:18:56learn more about her before she fully
4:18:58reveals it to us later in the patch,
4:19:00which is super cool. So, yeah, I just
4:19:03think this patch overall was so fun. And
4:19:06then Premeya
4:19:07obviously also was super interesting
4:19:09character. I love what they've done with
4:19:11her in terms of her being an assassin,
4:19:13but then still having a very different
4:19:15kind of mindset to {quote} redemption.
4:19:18Like I don't Premeya isn't necessarily,
4:19:21in my opinion based off of her trailers,
4:19:22trying to find redemption, right?
4:19:24Premeya to me seems like she is she is
4:19:26literally like shackling herself to, you
4:19:28know, her her past
4:19:30>> [music]
4:19:30>> and not refusing to let go of it
4:19:32while still enacting, you know,
4:19:35justice and stuff in the future and
4:19:37being able to have that fresh start, but
4:19:38then she doesn't let herself forget
4:19:40about
4:19:42those sins that she's committed.
4:19:43Anyways, I think that her Premeya's
4:19:49writing has also been really really cool
4:19:51and a very refreshing take on the
4:19:53assassin
4:19:54trope as well. Just overall, all the
4:19:57characters are so strong and the writing
4:19:59has been fantastic. Cecilia dead ass
4:20:01went from a character I gave absolutely
4:20:03zero shits about
4:20:06into [laughter and gasps] honestly, in
4:20:07my opinion, one of the best written
4:20:08characters in Zenless Zone Zero so far.
4:20:11Like her it's it's a combination of her
4:20:14writing and also the voice acting
4:20:16performance for her has been so so
4:20:20spectacular.
4:20:21It's just yeah, it's just amazing.
4:20:23Remiel, I'm
4:20:25I don't need to talk about Remiel. You
4:20:26guys know how I feel about Remiel. I
4:20:28love her so much.
