Guess whose back on their ‘Amphoreus is a microcosm of the greater universe’ bullshittt!

Anyways.

Trailblazer = Phainon

Elio = Cyrene

Theres also of course, as ive yapped before, the opposite, where its Elio = Phainon and Trailblazer = Cyrene.

The two exist side by side. They each play the role of Hero and Author at the same time.

Hell, theres literally references to that with TB’s voicelines and the voicelines of others with them. Theres both voicelines about ‘writing the story’ and ‘taking the stage’, to put it simply, because Trailblazer is doing both.

Elio is less of a spotlight protagonist and one of those protagonists thats likes to do stuff in the background. Strategist hero vs frontline hero type stuff. Anyways.

But i am specifically referring to the former half of the mess right now!

Basically, we’ve met Trailblazer’s Flame Reaver. Its the Altblazer. Or Terminus.

Altblazer is.. clearly antagonistic to Trailblazer. Not in a fully hostile way though?? Altblazer doesnt seem to truly hate Trailblazer. Bro is mean though. But also both times they’ve showed up, they seemingly purposefully ragebaited Trailblazer in locking in harder.

Altblazer comes from a future where everything is FUCKED. They clearly want a better future…

And also to seemingly throw hands with Trailblazer at that ending. Either Trailblazer wins, or Altblazer.. likely either way though, it may not matter if they merge.

Oh hey wait. Thats just Phainon & Flame Reaver.

Elio also does know about Altblazer! They arent actually a legitimate anomaly! How do we know this?

In 3.8, at the end of the quesr. Silver Wolf texts to inform TB that Firefly’s woken up. When TB asks when they can see her again, Silver Wolf says the script says they need to ‘wait till you face yourself’. Which is almost obviously referring to Altblazer.

Especially since it came the patch after Altblazer first appeared.

Elio having some knowledge as to Altblazers existence also aligns with Cyrene/Peach’s own knowledge of Flame Reaver and his origin.

Unlike Phainon & Flame Reaver, I do imagine that they’ll end up breaking the cycle on their own.

That or they introduce another character who can act for Trailblazer & Elio as TB did for Phainon & Cyrene.

Though that option does seem less likely, honestly.

Especially considering that they’re playing both roles. That fucks with things a bit already.

hhhhhshsjwjdbd amphoreus haunts the narrative in too many ways bro </3

Just realized the symbol for Finality in the Honkaiverse is an octagon or eight-pointed star.

I was just thinking if acheron has knowledge about the script and the stellaron hunters she shouldn't know wouldn't that mean there's a chance she knew that she shouldn't draw her blade near the trailblazer and if she did she knowingly drew her blade near the trailblazer twice plus her ending dialogue for both penacony stories shows she has some knowledge of the struggles the trailblazer would face in the future including where she literally appeared in amphoreus makes me think she knew (despite Fireflys attempts to prevent it) that the trailblazer was gonna need power from the nihility at some point and chose to take the risk despite possibly/not remembering why the trailblazer had to be kept away from the nihility

Acheron was in fact remarkably careful about her blades usage. Possibly more than usually.

But i doubt she really.. properly remembers. What she knows would likely be a haze.. and also..

Acheron herself is a blindspot in the scripts.

Quite like Silver Wolf 999. She’s a blindspot. Elio cant really share her own specific future, or much related to her likely.

Elio wouldve probably own shared some snippets, but like probably never full details.

Acheron might also have some like weird fucking future sight of her own tbh, who knows..

Who is a relationship with the TB that you want to see explored MORE in the games? You can say one or more answers.

-🌟

Acheron, Herta, most of the Chrysos Heirs..

Elio & TB for sure though. Like above basically anyone else, i desperately want to know about those two. Wdym TB’s trashdiving habits are probably from him bro..

I just had this random thought but what if the stellaron is a sort of power limited for the trailblazer cause each member of the hunters has a weakness of sorts that tied to their fate/ bad ending for silverwolf it's her powers that if used for too long they will take over her body, blade has/had a body that agonizingly puts itself back together, firefly has a body that is slowly decaying, and Kafka is missing a major characteristic of the human being as a whole, but we don't have a weakness/setback for the trailblazer sure they don't have a set in stone future but that doesn't seem to be a problem and if anything seems to be more of an advantage than anything else

The Stellaron isnt really a limited power. Thats honestly the most dangerous thing about it. Stellarons are incredibly powerful, and Trailblazer’s is entirely in control of how theirs manifests… currently.

Theres a good chance the more its used, the more unruly itll get. However, with how limited the usage of it has been, we have no evidence as to anything.

But yeah, all of rhe Stellaron Hunter’s have some weakness. Including Trailblazer. And theirs is the lack of a proper future they have.

It is a strength. And its a weakness.

The same goes for all of the Stellaron Hunters. Strength & weakness.

Firefly is dying, yes. Because of her ELS, which she afflicted with for the fact she with an Iron Cavalry soldier. Which is what makes her so strong, she’s an iron cavalry soldier.

Blade’s strength comes from the fact he cannot die. He is a dark souls protagonist. Compared to the others, he is the weakest. But he cannot die, and he is relentless. His lack of death is(was) a curse, and was accompanied by an even worse curse.. but it made him powerful when he was not before. (He has turned it wholly into strength.)

Silver Wolf is legitimately broken. There is little that can stop her when she goes all out. But her power has a limit to what she can handle, and she doesnt want to go down the path pushing past her limit would lead her down. (She will still do it for the sake of the others.)

Kafka’s lack of fear (and seemingly a ‘heart’) is what allows her to be so ruthlessly efficient. But it also effects her in ways we still dont know, because she wont show us.

And then the Trailblazer - their existence as fateless makes them a very powerful being in the universe. Their presence alone can be what turns the tides, because they are a variable controlled by none but themselves. But it also makes the a liability. Elio can see the futures surrounding them, but never the full outcome. He can see what endings their choices could lead to, but not what choices they will make. The Hunters can only trust and pray that they will choose the right option, nudge them in the best direction (like Kafka did in 3.7.)

The Hunters were also likely majorly chosen, for these very reasons.

And these are all liabilities. Firefly could die, Kafka could snap, Silver Wolf could end up corrupted by her power, Blade marastruck or overtaken by Shuhu, Trailblazer could choose the wrong path…

Its not Elio’s foresight that really keeps them all from becoming liabilities. But moreso the amount of care & faith they have in each other.

again however.. this is still a liability. Silver Wolf is straight up willing to throw her own ending away for the others. Trailblazer could very well choose something for the sake of one of the others, even if its not the Best Choice (which is largely why Trailblazer wasnt allowed to properly retain their memories of Penacony.)

But they’re less liabilities with each other than apart.
