Later Edit: At 13:44 I talk about how Project Stigma creates a "web" of ideas to STOP the power of Finality. After further reviewing the video, I realized that I didn't choose the best combination of words there. What Project: Stigma tries to do is more like spreading the Finality equally among the "new humans"(Forms) in a way that can create this coexistence between Honkai and Forms. I feel like the word "stop" doesn't encapsulate the whole meaning of the idea so I wanted to make this edit to the pinned comment to add to it. Project Stigma is complicated. It's hard to explain because it works on multiple levels of understanding. It's quantum physics and pseudoscience, it's philosophy, it's a meta-discourse inside a story. It's a hard concept that can be viewed from multiple angles. I tried to use the angle that I thought it's the easiest in helping you understand the concept. Let me know if this video HELPED you!

tbf tho it isn't fucked up if you think about it progressively and logically what a stigma body is for, also I don't think AE's plan is goin to work "changing the environment" rather than "civilizations" sounds like a death flag for little ol' Kiana. It's like extracting more power than what Sirin and welt had. iirc Kiana still struggles to control over immense honkai energy, but she's already got complete mastery over space-time. 💀

Its a shame that the discourse around Project Stigma being too complicated overweights how cool of a concept it is. Its unique that it answers the long question how to deal with Honkai in a way that only Honkai couldve done. Even if it borrows elements from EVA. Also what Homu said in his comment is important too. The Project can be understood, and was explained, on multiple levels. Just getting the fundamental idea behind it is more important than the how character XYZ tries to explain it.

For me it can explain to be more easy to understand but The game just give you too little information about concept of Project not what is the porject stigma itself. It can say that the whole project stigma arc was drag too long. the whole kevin reminiscent about Mei view the universe is overly complicate and convalute too. It can explain after project stigma begin but they just shove it to us after the Otto arc. It make everyone confuse as hell

This makes more sense given when Senti was being a big child and wrecking everything and Raven brought up Hare to stop HoS. So the groundwork has been in motion for a few years now, we just gots short attention spans. Glad that you brought up Morb and VILL-V's lines as well.

Let's be honest. As complicated and crazy it sounds and looks, if you look at it in layman's terms, Project STIGMA is more like a glorified scheme of a well-intentioned but misguided villain: creating a world without pain, loss, and sorrow, in exchange of humanity's free will being erased. Sure, anyone can compare Project STIGMA with Instrumentality from Evangelion, the ultimate goal for Law faction in Shin Megami Tensei, Takuto Maruki's Actualization from Persona 5 Royal (side note: Maruki's Japanese voice actor also voiced Kevin in HI3), or even Madara Uchiha's Moon's Eye Plan from Naruto. The flag may be different, but the methods and goals are the same. No conflict, no infighting, but people will have no emotions and no sense of self. It's a fate worse than death for the entire world. Thanks for the great video, HOMU.

This was an amazing explanation, I finally understood all the loose terms flying around. But if as MEI said, Honkai is the result of a civilization becoming a united will or a singular being, and the power of Finality is that of Time, could it mean that when Project Stigma succeeds in fusing humans into Adam Ruhami, they somehow go back in time with the power of Finality , and become the Honkai? That could kinda also mean that Project Stigma is the true birth of Honkai and started the whole problem in the first place. This is just a theory

Since Sky People did a roundabout method to evade the Honkai becoming a Mechanical Beings that consume Honkai energy to prospers but that would make them seek Honkai Energy because they will die out if they don't acquired Honkai Energy. While Sugar's abandoned their Physical body to become a Spiritual One to evade the Honkai Corruption and created their Tiny Bubble Universe to escape Honkai itself by floating and making the Imaginary Tree thinks it a New Born Universe thus sustaining it.

Thank goodness. I was going through that whole chapter thinking, I need you to explain all this

7:16 "Project Stigma turns human ideas into something akin to a stigma, then projects them back into beings like Hare" In most cases, they could only manifest as "Seed of Idea" which are just... incoherent beings altogether I think, real Idea beings can only be formed by those who already had their Stigma awakened or has the potential for it - which is less than 0.1% of human population already

I more or less understood what project stigma is while playing through chapters, but was still somewhat confused, so thanks for explaining it!!

Respect for another good job. This should help more people better understand what's going on, cuz while it may look simple and reused ideas at first glance, these concepts are more complex and well tought. All the text in the chapters isn't for nothing and while i do understand this kind o story is not for everyone, i do hope more people enjoy thinking about it.

i’ve been playing this game for more than two years now, and researched as much as i can stand about the lore and story, and your videos(this being my first to watch) completely blow my mind with your understanding of the universe and characters within. can’t wait to see more of your work

Oh, excellent work! This was brilliantly written and produced! You've tied all these fragmented pieces together very clearly. Doctor Mobius finally realized her dream of truly freeing humanity from the limitations of biology, decay and death, by making life unnecessary. I'm also very much looking forward to your exploration of the entrancing Hare. 🙂

this makes me understand much better after trying to digest the whole details in the story itself thank you so much!

I think the best way to understand some of the difficult concepts on honkai is to think it as the abstract conclusions that fiction characters from fiction worlds (hi3 made by mihoyo) reach from trying to understand deeply their own existence. Even the imaginary tree and all the concepts explained around it as the base of hi3 universe are quite similar to the creative process, how ideas come to life and are left behind in our own mind. We can see in imaginary space a mihoyo mug and a pen tablet. It may be hints at the idea that this is the creators own imagination where things are taking place.

Your videos, the more recent ones especially, are so dang well-put together. For me, watching your videos is less about learning new things, because I learned it from the story too, but it's more about articulating the ideas so concisely and in an organized manner that I can't do myself. You really help me straighten out my thoughts on Hoyoverse's galaxy chess.

Do they trick the Honkai by making a new "reality" on the moon and attract them, or APHO is not a reality anymore? -What is the Great Eruption? or Which one is it?

1. Signets, like in the game mode, are marks that belong to the Flame Chasers and offer bonuses and power-ups in ER. I'm not that sure about their function in reality. They seem to serve more as marks left by the FC inside Mei's mind to symbolize that the Flame Chasers acknowledged her as a worthy successor for the Authority of the Origin in the New Era. 2. She is a being born from a pseudo-time-crystal created from Project Stigma's distortion of reality. It is a difficult concept to explain. Think of her as a being that has seen all possible futures of Project Stigma and now tries to help the main cast. 3. GS is Mobius' creation from PE in an attempt to create an artificial lifeform. It seems to be some lifeform that is the product of biotechnology, that has multiple different bodies, each of them being a separate entity with its own personality, that are connected together through some mental network. 4. APHO is 100% real. We don't know yet for sure since Ch 35 is not out yet. But AE's plan is to make Kiana into an artificial Herrscher of Finality and use the Second Generation of Selene to Seal the Honkai on the Moon. The exact details of the plan will most likely be revealed in the next chapter. 5. The Great Eruption seems to refer to a cataclysmic event that caused great destruction and ended up with the sealing of the Honkai on the Moon. In other words, it's most likely the events of the current arc.

Well put. However one small issue 13:07 Honkai doesn't want to destroy reality. It wants to turn it into imaginary because honkai itself is first human civilization (my interperation) that ascended to imaginary singularity. Which for humans means not destruction but Project Stigma. So literally project stigma is doing what honkai wants to do but can't because it's message gets distorted through some dimensionality problems. This is what embrace is.

NEW VIDEOOOOOOO

So basically, Project Stigma is Kevin/MOTH's way of going "if you can't beat them, join them" with regards to the Honkai and tranforming humanity into an existence similar to it so that they won't be destroyed by the Honkai's embrace. It'd be a pretty inspired plan if not for that pesky little detail of killing most of humanity in the process. Another interesting thing here is that Kevin seems to _want_ the heroes to stop Project Stigma. Though he's made a grand show of making speeches and fighting them a few times, he hasn't done much to truly stop Kiana and co. and either spared them or left the work to his subordinates (who also seem to betray him or help the heroes half the time anyway, with him still not doing much about this either). Perhaps he's also been infected with the so-called "baseless" hope of the new era and believes they could succeed where he once failed, even if only subconsciously.

Lately im skiping narratives due to small typo, it really hurts my eyes to read those invicible words. So this resume helps me to put all pieces togheter. Thanks

Thanks!

Thank you, I understood everything I noticed in the game correctly(and it's difficult to notice everything, although it's not really necessary, there is enough general understanding). And my question (the most interesting to me) what will happen to people in dreams? Will they stay there forever or will their souls perish, becoming fuel for Adam? Will the forms have consciousness (like Hare), or will they be like static ideas, in the sense of a false humanity, unable to develop further? (I understand that this is not so, because the idea is to separate civilization from humanity so that it can live separately, as they said in the game, and, of course, the forms will be reasonable and will be able to develop further, but I want to get an answer to make sure for sure. ) Thank you for your work, Captain! And another very important question: Will people with an awakened stigma live among Forms?

@HomuLabs

Жыл бұрын

The game implies that the "dreams" are only temporary and as they fuse into the Spiritual Adam, individual human consciousness will be lost. So yeah, people will die in a happy dream. As for how will the "new humans" function... it's hard to tell. First, we know for sure that the Seeds of Ideas are only able to repeat human ideas but not produce any of their own. Hare says that after Project Stigma is complete, that's not the case anymore, implying that they will most likely be similar to a real human after, just that they will be born directly with a sense of understanding of their own existence. There are also other instances when different characters emphasize that Forms will continue to develop new ideas on their own. Now, I don't think that their way of existence will be entirely the same as "old humans", since we are more than just ideas. Chapter 34 has a whole discourse in which the main cast argues that what Forms represent isn't the humanity they "know". So, to give you my final thoughts, I think that they will be able to continue generate new ideas, but their fundamental way of existing will not be the same as the "old humans". Also, yes, they mention that Stigma Awakened will be able to exist in this new world.

I would assume that reality will be somehow merged with IMG Space and the "new humans" will be able to create spaces similar to the main hub of Project Stigma from Ch 34 to live. As for people that are Stigma Awakened, they need to find a "space" that suits them; either a remnant of the old world like The Deep, or a stigma space that allows their existence like the Kaslana Stigma Space for people like Dudu, Kiana and Theresa. This is just my guess though, as I said, they don't really expend upon this.

So much confusing explanations and pointless comprasions made ch 33 one of the worst ones I have played through in the game. Your explanation is welcome, because I don't think any casual player would even understand half of it.

8:32 "Dreams = something similar to Stigma Spaces" It's more because Project Stigma literally turns dreamspaces into a "stigma" for a new humanity called "Spiritual Adam" 10:58 It is exactly Plato's idea of "ideal self" that you talked about in another video (I think it was the stigmata one)

I would be interested in hearing a video on your opinion of whether Mobius is alive in current era. There are so many breadcrumbs left by mihoyo regarding the possibility of her still being alive. Which has not only been dropped across chapter 32 & 33 with lines from Grey serpent, Hare and Prometheus. But also gradually small bits and pieces scattered all across from Elysian realm and it's logs, chapters with theater of domination, early sea of quanta chapters, Griseo's paintings, structure of World serpent, aswell other lines from people like Raven. This is something i have seen debated many times on both sides and never gotten a real answer. Because mihoyo keep giving small hints of it but never pulling back the curtain. Which strikes me puzzling as mostly i have enough ideas to facilitate this concept but if it would be true I would imagine Mobius would be reintroduced during project stigma as well - that is her core aspect. Outside of project stigma it is hard to imagine what Mobius would be doing in current era if she would be alive. I would like to make a video myself about this topic but i have never done such a thing. So hearing what you have to say would be interesting too.

He did actually made me subscribe with his explanation. smooth as fuck man.

Extremely well made summary man, it blows my mind how this is a f2p mobile game haha

Let me explain what Project Stigma using Naruto. It's basically like Infinite Tsukuyomi. There you go. I just save you from having a massive headache.

This is a great video coz the game does have problems explaining the project. It has some aspects that are related to Plato view, the world of senses and the word of essence. Kinda interesting coz they use the concept of memes (as Richard Dawkins described them) as the main aspect of existence

I thing is more of a Mix Up between Instrumentality and Project Gestalt (from NieR)

For me, the explanation of Project Stigma was simple in game, its a dream world, simple as is it gets. But the reasoning behind it well, once I made a conclusion, a lot of things in the story and universe just clicked. We were fueled by the terms Quantum and Imaginary, it never was the true scientific meanings, Imaginary meant actual imaginations. That's why the Honkai was so unpredictable, practically the idea of fiction itself was against humanity so to fight it Project Stigma used humanity's collective fiction. Herrschers are just the imaginary transforming reality, that's why they at the start controlled fundamental laws of physics then became more esoteric in their powers. Its why the Herrscher of Reason is so theoretically powerful, it power lay not in the technology humanity has built, but what humanity could think of, it makes the imaginary reality. Also, Project stigma is kinda like the Final Sanction in Doctor Who and the Aethrophasic Engine in Stellaris, doesn't have anything to do with what I just said, just thought the comparison was close.

Can we get a full timeline lore? Kinda been out of the loop since i take a break for while now

Thing is, honkai is genshin in the future. each impact is like a world changing nuke.. its the reality collapsing. The hillichurls and stuff in genshin and genshins impacts were the archon wars and stuff did strange time and realm travelling stuff. Which is why theres that world tree and these travellers popping up and they're like oh yeah theres other realms out there.. those arent different worlds but realities. its microcosmos number of pocket dimensions. Its a bit like wizards pocket dimensions in forgotten realms DnD or ygdrassil vikings lore. The honkai scifi future the more they tried to kill off the evil invaders like hillichurls the more they realised it was only getting worse and huge reality shifts/impacts were bringing more next level hilichurls/honkai after each impact. The reason is somebody damaged their reality so in scifi cyberspace future they understood other realities and cool next level people were around. but is it future them? alternate them? their same reality but a piece of it? they built reality seeds and grafted to reality as a cyberspace new lets all go live in that place. but something prevented it from completing in time and they had to jump inside out of their reality into a false one. Overseer Otto and the archives is like both a prison warden and the evacuate and keep these people safe preserve civilization guy and task them all with it over thousands of years knowing without their reality seed being stable they either find a way to defeat the source of honkai which is why durandal was seeking help from the sweets land by tearing holes in time and space. Or they could somehow get assistance from other realities into seeding a stable one, because they dont have the resources ability it was lost when their reality went boom boom. So the kevin guy was like the honkai are here to destroy us, I will fight destroy the honkai and this false reality and make a new world where im a pretty woman because this reality just wont let kevin become kelly or whatever unless he works really hard or something i dont understand his edgelord motivations. The valkyrie girls know its only a matter of time before they uhh become honkai or die or false reality collapses so they go full badass mecha and blow up in flames like fwwwooooosh flamescion and truth going all pew pew pew. but its possible the worst criminals are all being reskinned to look like alien honkai robots and they have to beat down on them or they cant leave false reality for a real one, or somebody copy pasted some video game enemies onto their reality somehow. the deep dive bronya bubbleverse thing sea of quanta is an actual thing in honkai/genshin impact. Ever notice hilichurls have little mondstat parapets and shields and stuff? when stigma makes false realities and brings forth concept based life forms and tries to video game edit remake reality, if you add a sort of mathematical concept of humans into existence somebody could put minus sign values or they naturally decay or corrupt. If hot exists the universe goes cold, light turns to dark. So when they tried to take the best things of humanity into ideal valkyries and a new start they are eternally warring with the darkness of humanity that is super more video game lastboss obvious and visualized. them adding these ideal forms to reality so that after humans die off the ideal immortal eternal them would exist independently of reality and time and could hopefully leave false reality back to the real and survive in the dead reality.. doing so maybe pops hillichurls into existence back in genshin impact times. the sinners that exist from beginning to end fischl raiden or such immortal of time are cursed to because they maybe interact with Hi3 timeline future people must live till those times to do the thing they did? maybe they escaped false reality or ended reality by going back to the start and looping it? honkai is empty space reality/universe protecting itself or hostile or invading the herschers are sort of no longer living things but more like an idea of humans, but it seems whatevers invading hates the idea of humans and it seems to be made up of humans, maybe one or more humans were lost to gaps between reality and is infinitely invading others or being sent back because it was super catastrophic. other humans made own realities and are stealing resources or ending the old ones? alien space/reality wars? theres not enough clues. but we know the stigma plan is not to survive or win, they know false reality is ending so they plan to end honkai and themselves and create a way for things to exist without existing or to be reborn or something different in whatever forms up after their reality i destroyed. its like "when the reality is dead our best valkyries will remain and find the bastards whatever and whoever they are and create a new better world born of us."

7:02 "a new species of humans brought forth by Project Stigma" As I understand it, you don't need Project Stigma to create a "Form", as seen with how Misteln Schariac was born I think Will of Kaslana Stigma (WOS Kevin for short) isn't a Form, while Red Seele is, because (I think) the latter can manifest onto reality (through possessing Seele's body) while WOS Kevin cannot

This video is incredibly helpful. But what is finality and what is the herscher/finality authority? I did not understand that.

4:34 I know she died to open a "door", but I dunno about the "hacking" part - I thought the part with Mobius sending Prometheus no. 17 happened after the battle against Final Herrscher ended and the other survivors were inside the cryopods (except for Eden), meaning that by then, Pardo must've been dead already? CMIIW

0:28 It actually wasn't (emphasis on *was*) that complicated, it was essentially super eugenics: as the Stigma is genetic, naturally as the generation goes down, human genes would be a mix of various bloodlines and thus the "stigma genomes" would be incomplete Project Stigma originally aimed for finding ways to awaken the stigma in humanity, but that plan proved to have abysmally low success rate Which is why they're revising it: now Project Stigma accounts for those who weren't already Stigma Awakened (or Herrschers) by essentially mixing Infinite Tsukuyomi + Instrumentality

Would make more sense. Just like how Otto's plans has been revised to use the Imaginary Tree, instead of the 'Soul Transferring' ability of the Herrscher of Death, which was what he originally was going for. It would fix inconsistencies in the plot.

Hope it'll help me conclude my top 25 strongest Honkai characters.

Well, now I understand the story. Can you do about the authority of finality next? I'm still confused about it. Like, is it a honkai administration power? And is herscherr finality the same as herscherr of the end? I'm so confused

@Homu Labs There is a translation saying "Herrscher of the End" in the Second Lawman manga, but it's not 100% official because you can't find it on the Mihoyo manga website. It was created before Celine was renamed as Sirin. Either way, Herrscher of Finality or Herrscher of the End doesn't matter which one you say. It's still the same Herrscher, just has 2 titles.

I actually have a question. I thought the last Herrscher destroyed everything and thousand years later humans returned because of the efforts the previous era made. But Kevin sad to Hua, that they lied. Did the last Herrscher 'reset' the era? Are the Himekos basically the same person, just with changes because the pioneers changed stuff through their maddling? That really confused me...

Finally i can understand the whole thing. All of this time my understanding only goes as far as "Project Stigma is the worst final plan because it will wipe all of humanity". And because of this video, I can see another perspective. Thank you for the great video!

14:57 Maybe I'm misremembering, but I could've sworn Dr.MEI was not referring to Honkai, but to Finality (or rather the Cocoon of Finality) as the result of a unified civilization fusing with their planet and ascending to a higher state of being. Honkai was merely a force from the Imaginary space that the Cocoon utilized for its purposes.

It refers to the fact that Elysia (the Herrscher of Origin) severed the strings of fate that that were binding humanity and the Herrschers to Finality's control, allowing some of the Herrschers of the New Era to keep their humanity. That's what the "betrayed" part stands for.

@@ForestTheBig Project Stigma is the WORST plan because it is literally killing of all human beings and replace them with Forms. From humanity's view, the project has the same result as them getting killed by the Honkai, and that's why is the worst. It has nothing to do with Elysia and the betrayal of Origin. It might be a mistranslation, or Lambda referring to the fact that after Elysia's sacrifice, having humanity suffer the fate imposed by Project Stigma would be a great shame.

Finality is a being that exists beyond out dimension in IMG Space. It manifested in the world of HI3 though the "cocoon of Finality". It's already confirmed that both the Sugars and the Sky People fought the Honkai in the past, so it's safe to assume that it can appear in other worlds.

Mobius used PROMETHEUS to hack into the Cocoon of Finality during the last moments of the PE. This programed the Cocoon to give Kevin the Authority of Finality in the Current Era. It is explained in Ch 31EX.
