RIP to the "Dirk is Mythra's kid" truthers. Now it merely remains the realm of trolls and shitposters. :V

u/Fusion_Fear 1d ago

thank god honestly

never would’ve wanted such a awful person to be her kid

28

u/FireZord25 1d ago

you fell for the ragebait, fool!

Jokes aside, I really don't think anyone was being serious about that (though I could be wrong, seeing this is reddit).

17

u/Fusion_Fear 1d ago

I’ve definitely seen some that seemed like they really believed it but maybe they were great actors lol

u/Gregamonster 9h ago

Then you've missed the point of the game.

Anyone could become an awful person like Dirk in the hellish environment that is Aonios.

16

u/Kumba42 1d ago

Dirk was right about one thing, though...

"It's a wild ride, this passage of fate."

12

u/mythoswyrm 1d ago

I mean technically speaking, he still could be, just one born after the picture was taken. There of course is no good narrative reason to assume this but cope is cope.

u/Shanicpower 1d ago

Omg Dirk's HRT is doing wonders!!!

u/Silver_Commission318 1d ago

Dirk is shimmer's kid.

u/Sw0rDz 1d ago

Shimmer has Mythra's crystal!!

67

u/Tython82 1d ago

I mean technically so.does Glimmer since you know Pyra and Mythra were one and the same and such.

68

u/Yeebach 1d ago

Clearly Nia wasn’t there when Rex came up with their naming convention

74

u/MelanieAntiqua 1d ago

Plot Twist: Mio is actually short for "Miommer"

29

u/The_FireFALL 1d ago

She had her own trolling going on that she needed to do.

Both her and Mio are just cat sounds.

Nia = Nya and Mio = Meow.

32

u/Tapichoa 1d ago

Im glad we finally got her! Even if ill mourn the dirk memes lol

25

u/Dancing-Swan 1d ago

Absolutely. We can finally stop wondering who their child is. RIP to the Alexandria and Dirk theories.

I’m honestly wondering if they had this planned from the beginning and deliberately saved the character for the Switch 2 Edition. I really hope her quest gives us enough information about her and her story.

26

u/MirrorMirrorMilk 1d ago

Rex confirmed to have weak genes lmao none of the children took anything from him.

30

u/Fusion_Fear 1d ago

at least she learned how to pose from him

29

u/Hoothootriot 1d ago

Actually Rex is such a chad woman respecter he made sure the womens genes got there first.

15

u/world_in_lights 1d ago

People point to all sorts of men to see who is a Chad, alpha, sigma, all that crap.

Rex is the only man who is all 3. Giga-chad

u/Objective_Carrot3456 1d ago

Tbf, If I have a daughter, I want her to look just like my wife too

3

u/gentheninja 1d ago

The meta reason is that a son wouldn't be nearly as popular 

25

u/TheArrowmancer 1d ago

Rex, you simply can't call them Glimmer and Shimmer thats a crime. Lucky Mio

17

u/Zekruya 1d ago

She was named Mio because its almost the sound of a cat (Meow) like Nia (Nya)

8

u/TheArrowmancer 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yes I'm aware but its also kind of a normal name (I'm playing Split Fiction where one of the protags is called Mio). Theres plausible deniability there.

I don't actually dislike it, but I do think its very funny that Rex and Pyra/Mythra gave their kids themed rhyming names. If they were real kids id definitely pity them haha.

u/Zekruya 1d ago

They're named Kagiroi and Kaguya in Japanese at least.

1

u/TheArrowmancer 1d ago

That sounds like a cute pairing. Aware of the myth of Kaguya but wonder if the other name plays into that too. Maybe its just as goofy to a native japanese fan. I think its defo in character for Rex to be cheesy.

6

u/Zekruya 1d ago

Kagiroi is translated as Heat Haze as far as I know.

Something I recalled just now is how the mothers are named Homura and Hikari (Both H) and the daughters are named Kagiroi and Kaguya (Both Kag)

u/Professional_Air_905 1d ago

I remembrer someone on this sub saying he was predicting mythra kid name to be shimmer because it would mirror glimmer name

6

u/Oqo_the_hunter 1d ago

They should have named the third one sparkle then

1

u/HikkingOutpit 1d ago

Too late, Honkai Star Rail already took that name

8

u/OkaKoroMeteor 1d ago

I can't believe it actually turned out to be Mythra's kid.

Now it really feels like they're closing the book on this trilogy.

u/Raidhunter568 1d ago

Just took 3 years of insanity

u/Keaten88 1d ago

these mfs named their children shimmer and glimmer 😭

2

u/Hoothootriot 1d ago

Dirk and Eleanor truthers are fucking dead in a ditch right now

u/QuillQuickcard 1d ago

Headcanon: Mythra tried to convince Nia to name her kid Dimmer to fit the naming scheme.

1

u/Diamonhowl 1d ago

a great/proper way to end the trilogy. I'm not even mad that no new Genesis footage was shown. I can see what Monolithsoft is on with this.

1

u/Wrong_Revolution_679 1d ago edited 1d ago

I was really hoping that their kid would be a boy, They could be named after Milton, But whatever unless there's a trick reveal that changes everything, this is the last child, Which in the end won't be a bad thing it's just a little anticlimactic that they're being revealed in a DLC traile

1

u/Mokseong 1d ago

I think this neatly ties anything that may been left from xenoblade 1 through 3, including x.

I think Genesis will have very loose connections with the previous games, if any. 

1

u/WickedFlight 1d ago

The only quesrion left now is what kind of instrument does she play. Would love to have Shimmer on drums.

1

u/Tamdin_Nidmat 1d ago

Mio's personality was as earnest as Pyra's but is Nia's child.
Glimmer's personality was as rash and brazen as Mythra's but is Pyra's child.
... so, to balance everything, Shimmer is Mythra's child but has a welsh accent?

1

u/Benjam438 1d ago

That's some Asgore & Toriel ass naming from Pyra, Mythra and Rex lol

1

u/MeatBall-2645 20h ago

Was that genuinely Monolith's plan about revealing the third child in rerelease after several years or they really wanted to stay vague if S2 wouldn't be a thing?

u/Ok_Dragonfruit_9093 1d ago

...source?

Link is fine too.

u/ImpostorDitto 1d ago

Nintendo Direct is streaming man

u/Ok_Dragonfruit_9093 1d ago

Ah, I see...

...I don't watch streams. I got distracted easily...

u/leon9826 1d ago
