Honkai Impact 3rd: Starting with creating an anime version of Honkai Impact 3rd

"Take care of?... It's more like surveillance, isn't it?"

"Isn't this exactly what you've been doing all along?"

"All along, you've been lurking by my side, observing me, and finally handing me over to Otto. Have you forgotten how you betrayed me?"

"Why are people who did such things starting to care about innocent people?"

Fu Hua was speechless.

"Answer me!" Kiana's suppressed sobs burst forth at this moment, making everyone feel extremely sorry for her.

"I……"

"Your mission should be complete, right? Now, disappear from my sight!"

“I’m sorry, I can no longer leave,” Fu Hua explained, explaining that the zero rated power of Feather Dust had already bound her consciousness to Kiana’s.

"what?"

Fu Hua advised Kiana to go find Theresa and the others, because only they could protect Kiana.

"No, no..."

Just as Fu Hua was about to say something more...

"Get out! Get out of my head!"

Fu Hua's eyes were somewhat melancholy, but her true feelings were also revealed to the audience: once things reached an irreversible point, she would make the cruelest decision, which would be to take herself, Kiana, and Sirin down with her.

"Forgive me, Kiana."

When the audience heard Kiana's sobbing voice, they all felt a pang of heartache.

Kiana perfectly portrayed the pent-up emotions—the anger, confusion, grievance, and sadness of being betrayed by someone she trusted.

Women are generally more emotional than men.

Tears welled up in Alicia's eyes. "Little Kiana is so pitiful. Her trembling voice makes it sound like she's about to break. Waaah..."

Mei's feelings were complicated. "Kiana's current mentality is that she is blaming herself for everything caused by the Great Collapse of the Herrscher of the Void, even though none of this has anything to do with her. What a silly girl."

"If you ask me, the culprit behind all this is Otto. If he hadn't been thinking about reviving the Second Herrscher, wouldn't there have been far fewer problems?"

Kevin was indignant. As a fellow Kaslana, he held this "junior" in the story in high regard, most likely because he saw a reflection of his past self in the other.

"Kevin, have you thought about this? If Otto doesn't want to revive the Second Herrscher, then Kiana, codenamed K423, will also cease to exist." Su still preferred to look at the issue from the perspective of life.

“Then…” Kevin was stumped.

“Otto is the architect of all of Kiana’s suffering, and at the same time, he is also her creator.” Sue seemed like a theologian.

Kevin gave him a disgruntled look.

"No, none of you saw what Fu Hua said at the end." Sakura noticed that no one around her was discussing Fu Hua's final words about mutual destruction.

"Don't worry, Sakura, Kiana will definitely defeat the Herrscher. We must believe in her." Blanca's voice was gentle, but her tone was firm, like a stream soothing Sakura's anxiety.

"That's right, sister. Although Brother Yaqing killed us without hesitation, he definitely won't kill the main character. I've never seen an anime where the main character is killed!" Ling said confidently.

Sakura tapped Rin's forehead. "How old are you? How many anime have you watched?"

In the front row, Kiana had anticipated that Theresa would cry when she was doing the voice acting, but she didn't expect that Theresa's reason for crying would be quite different from what she thought.

"Why doesn't your period come? Do you, in the story, also think your period is unreliable?"

Kiana, who shares the same surname Kaslana, was also stumped by the question.

Fortunately, the understanding Mei came to the rescue.

"Headmistress, Kiana didn't mean that. Perhaps it's because of Himeko's situation that she's afraid of hurting us too, which is why she's avoiding us in the story."

“Yes, that’s right, that’s definitely what I was thinking.” Kiana gave Mei a grateful look.

Himeko was surprised that she was being mentioned while quietly watching the movie, and immediately retorted, "What does this have to do with me?"

The rain started, and Kiana wandered aimlessly down a deserted street. She knew in her heart that her anger towards Fu Hua was nothing more than an expression of her powerlessness against fate.

Her mind began to reminisce.

At the age of twelve, "she" awoke for the first time, causing immense destruction and even severing her father's arm.

Since that incident, she had been running away, wandering, pretending that "she" didn't exist, until she met Mei, Bronya, Theresa, and...

Kiana's voice choked with emotion, unable to utter the name, but instead, an image of Himeko appeared on the screen.

These encounters made her feel the warmth of home and gave her the idea of ​​staying, but this simple and naive idea was difficult to fulfill.

Kiana had walked for quite some time without realizing it. The flickering neon lights interrupted her thoughts. The cacophony of people and the aroma of food made her, like a startled animal, hide in a dark, deserted alley.

For a moment, the screening room was completely silent.

Listening to Kiana's inner monologue, Alicia suppressed the urge to cry.

The once innocent insect now trembles at the sound of human voices because of its fearful existence. It used to be able to sneak a bite of the chicken nuggets that Mei had just made, but now its first reaction to the smell of food is to run away.

"Yaqing, isn't the script you wrote a bit too outrageous?" Alicia couldn't help but say.

Yaqing looked completely bewildered.

Are you crying now?

Upon seeing Alicia in tears, Yaqing became curious.

"Senior, are you crying?"

"No."

"then you……"

"It was just a gust of wind."

wind?

Yaqing looked around in bewilderment. Where did this wind that could make someone cry come from inside the screening room?

Kiana seemed to hear Himeko's voice again, and fell into deep memories.

The painting depicts her enrollment in 14, the first time she met Himeko, the first lesson, and her initial instruction.

When Kiana is feeling down, Himeko comforts her with her own past. She initially wanted to become a scientist, but later, her father was corrupted by Honkai and became a monster who lost his mind.

In search of answers, she joined Destiny and became a Valkyrie.

Someone once told her: It's never too late to do what you want to do; the most important thing is to start doing it.

Later, Himeko joined that person's army.

Kiana was curious about that person's final fate, and Himeko replied that that person had already sacrificed themselves.

"Himeko! It's Himeko!"

Unlike Rosalia and Lilia's excitement, Kiana remained calm, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. This gave Bronya a clue, and she guessed what was going on.

"So, Himeko-sensei was just a memory?" Seele asked timidly.

“Seele…” Bronya didn’t know how to comfort Seele, because even she herself felt that the chances of Himeko surviving were not high.

Seele understood this, but her kind heart still preferred to believe that Himeko would reappear in the future storyline to help Kiana overcome her difficulties.

Not only Seele thinks this way, but online discussions also tend to agree with this view: as long as the official Honkai Impact team does not explicitly state Himeko's death, there is still a chance for her to survive.

"Himeko, did someone really say that to you?" Patrick asked curiously, as the tone of the sentence sounded familiar.

“Yes.” Himeko thought carefully. “You should know him, Director Ragnar from headquarters.”

“Director Ragnar…” Patrick suddenly remembered, “Rita, wasn’t Ragnar the mentor that headquarters assigned to you during your internship?”

“Yes, that’s right.” Rita said with a smile, “Director Ragnar is a kind person. She owns a flower shop, and Durandal and I often go there to help out after get off work.”

The memories gradually turned from warm to solemn. Before their first combat training, Himeko, as their instructor, gave them a serious reminder: in addition to the enemy in front of them, they should also pay attention to their comrades around them.

Each Valkyrie gains considerable power by utilizing Honkai energy, but correspondingly, they may also be corrupted by Honkai energy, turning into mindless monsters that destroy everything.

"If one day, your comrade goes out of control due to Honkai energy... you must not hesitate to end her life!"

"If it's Himeko-sensei who's out of control, should we take action too?" Kiana hesitated, her pretty face showing uncertainty.

“Even if it’s me, you absolutely cannot hesitate!” Himeko’s tone was serious, without the slightest hesitation: “Trying to protect the lives of the out-of-control Valkyries will only cause more sacrifices. If you don’t understand this, I will not let you go to the battlefield.”

“I…I understand. So if one day I…I mean, if I lose control, then Aunt Himeko, you must…”

"I won't let that happen." Himeko glanced at Kiana, her voice gentle yet firm. "As your instructor and captain, I will do everything in my power to protect each and every one of you and keep you out of danger."

"Hey! What a cunning statement..."

For Kiana, precious and beautiful memories flashed across the screen one by one, only remaining in the last lesson in the Imaginary Space, on Himeko, who was covered in wounds and whose Crimson Armor was riddled with cracks.

Kiana's cries could no longer be concealed; even her voice trembled, as if suppressing boundless grievances and pain.

"You said that if a comrade lost her mind and was controlled by Honkai, you must end her life without hesitation... But why... why you..."

Kiana saw Himeko's phantom before her eyes, exactly the same action as in the final lesson. She could have ended Himeko's life, but instead gave her the chance to live.

Himeko vanished as a speck of light.

At the same time, several Honkai Beasts appeared, their target being Kiana, who was kneeling on the ground.
