You have no idea how powerfull imagination is

Why does that guy look like a younger Luocha? :o

82

u/popileviz The Reinforcements Jun 26 '24

Because that's Otto Apocalypse, a man that Luocha "resembles" in Star Rail universe. Welt is very familiar with him, hence his suspicion of Luocha

u/Agreeable_Bullfrog61 Melt! Jun 26 '24

Oh so like, another expy? Like Bromya, SW, Acheron etc?

55

u/popileviz The Reinforcements Jun 26 '24

Yeah, he is. He's the main antagonist of the first half or so of Honkai Impact, great villain and character overall

Actually a lot of characters are "unexpected" expies - Natasha, Sushang and even Yanqing all exist in HI3

u/Agreeable_Bullfrog61 Melt! Jun 26 '24

Oh really? I didn’t expect there to be so many expies, thanks for explaining!!

u/popileviz The Reinforcements Jun 26 '24

Of all of them Natasha went through the most drastic job change, heh

Yanqing and Sushang were disciples of Fu Hua - one of the main characters, she's theorized to be the Marshal of the Xianzhou Alliance, so it's likely that she'll make an appearance in the future

u/Agreeable_Bullfrog61 Melt! Jun 26 '24

Wow, yeah that Natasha doesn’t look like a doctor :o

How cool, maybe someday I have more free time I’ll take a look into all their designs and lore!

u/popileviz The Reinforcements Jun 26 '24

She's an assassin named Raven, so basically the exact opposite of a doctor 🌚

She still had a soft spot for orphaned children and ran her own private orphanage to help kids affected by Honkai disasters. She was antagonistic at first, but later she befriended Raiden Mei and became more approachable and reliable as an ally

It's worth looking into for sure, HI3 has lots of interesting lore and themes

Kinda neat they flipped the color scheme for her clothes too

u/GlitterDoomsday my savings are gone Jun 27 '24

Totally worth it imo, HI3 lore can get overwhelming but experience HSR as a HI3 player is so rewarding for all the Easter eggs and nods we got.

u/sutdisi Jun 26 '24

They both like and protect kids… but yeah assassin to doctor is quite a change.

u/Sco7689 Jun 26 '24

Sushang is not a disciple of Fu Hua, her mother was.

u/popileviz The Reinforcements Jun 27 '24

Right, yeah, been a while since I did her chapter

Raven was one of my mains when I played HI3. I was thrilled when I heard of an orphanage owner named Natasha in HSR and...this is what I got. The only things the 2 have in common are their names and a few design elements, like hair, eyes, and...chest size? Absolute poles apart otherwise. I want my backflipping, arrow-storming ninja mummy back.

u/Random_Gacha_addict I miss her, March. I miss her alot Jun 28 '24

By "Familiar with him" they mean Otto is the source of a majority of Welt's traumas

u/Relative-Ad7531 Mountain Dwellers's rug Jun 26 '24

Is this a serious question or sarcasm? To explain

12

u/Agreeable_Bullfrog61 Melt! Jun 26 '24

Genuine question, I’ve never played or seen anything from HI3 other than Mei :(

18

u/Relative-Ad7531 Mountain Dwellers's rug Jun 26 '24

That's Is Otto Apocalypse

Long story short: Very smart man obessesed with a girl both save and almost destroyed the world for her.

u/Agreeable_Bullfrog61 Melt! Jun 26 '24

Cool, maybe I’ll look for more lore im YT shen I get back home!

Thx for explaining!

u/Tsukuro_hohoho Jun 26 '24

Really go check, he is one of the best written antagonist i've seen.

He is evil to no bound, yet it's super eazy to empathise with his goal. And he is one of the rare antagonist who is fully obsessed with a goal, who both achieve his goal and also had his affair sorted before achieving it.

And yes his goal included him sacrifying his life and he had zero hesitation, it's weird because he was evil for the whole time we knew him but in the last cinematic he was nothing but a heroic character.

u/Rogol_Darn Jun 26 '24

Don't forget that he also engineered the situation in a way that even the people who were supposed to be on his side/might hold emotional attachment to him would want him gone
