As weird as this might sound, Honkai: Star Rail’s Acheron shares an unlikely connection with Genshin Impact’s 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Hu Tao. I go over it here, along with some additional implications that these lore findings might have on Genshin’s story in the future.

Edit: This is a fun fact. I am NOT saying that Acheron and Hu Tao are directly connected in lore.
This was initially part of the Baizhu/Jakob theory I am currently working on (check announcements for further context). However, it didn't quite align with the overall direction of the video, so I opted to remove it. Upon review, I realized that it functions well as a standalone video, and I've decided to share it for those who might be interested.
this guy has the most insane ideas but somehow it all makes sense
I was gonna say,“Oh, unlikely means I just have 30 minutes of evidence for this" but he actually ended up convincing me in 3
Everytime i see one of your videos pop up in my notifs i just ask myself. What kind of drugs is he on?
Make more of these please. Now that I know the type of content you cut out from your videos regularly, it is a shame that we don't get to see them.
Consider Qiqi being a zombie… Her Sansara cycle has been stopped, hasn't it?
About the whale…In the book "Flowers for Fischl", there is an interesting text: "Once Gesamtkunstwerk takes the stage in the opera theater of the apocalypse, many more Beasts of the World that reside within the center of the universe will inexorably begin to appear as well."
Do we have a preview here of what other animals will emerge, just like the whale?
The gesamtkunstwerk is an aesthetic concept originating from 19th century German romanticism. Generally associated with the German composer Richard Wagner, the term refers to the combination of music, theater, singing, dance and visual arts.
If you draw parallels in the rest of the text, you will see interesting things….." The musician being Wagner….Or the creator of beasts?" Who knows…
Read Nine's author interview. The parallel he draws with the other story The Fragmented Halberd.
When the fake sky of Teyvat breaks, the Sixth Descender that would come is none other than Topaz and Numby, the IPC ain't letting Teyvat off the hook with their debt lol
okay, people keep saying a few things: constellations are star beasts, and beyond the false sky are the other games universe. putting those together is terrifying me on where the game is going with this lore
Those bite-sized videos are really good 😀 You can keep throwing these at us while you're working on bigger projects.
Bro, if you don't have a pinboard full of pictures connected with red string and a table full of empty Chinese takeout containers then I don't know if I want to live in this reality anymore.
0:51– 0:55 Raiden and Kiana in Genshin: Who?
Kiana va is Rie Kugimiya while Hu Tao va is Rie Takanashi. So I’m not sure about her connection to Raiden part.
I love these shorter videos since even they convince me. Like the start of the video I’m like what and by the end I’m like, I’m a believer and I’m terrified when the barrier breaks.
Also should I be worried for Childes health now?
oh no, i have been sitting on this theory for some time now. Looking into Hu Tao you found that crazy stuff too haven't you ?
Happy New Year! Now I am REALLY curious about what is yet to come.
so you're saying that somewhere out there a butterfly pet of someone symbolising Charon exists, which is the embodiment of Hu Tao's constellation?
If so, I'm really excited for the Traveler's constellation-being/-object
Ok
😊
hurry up with hu tao video j/k
Acheron, Geometry Dash… hehe
I much prefer longer videos like your Dottore's one, so hopefully this "shortening" of sorts won't become a trend. Good food for thought though, i'm eagerly awaiting more of your theories.
maybe the stars represent the souls of powerful beings beyond teyvat that naturally pull on the fates of other beings. be it intentionally or not….
Ive been wondering for a while too what it actually means that Constellations have names with cultural implications that we recognise but that Teyvat wouldnt necessarily have a reason to see the same way. Hu Tao's came to mind when this was bugging me because it actually references a mytholoyical character that it wouldn't make sense to be named after whether or not Charon was also a mythological figure in Teyvat, but theres also other things like one of the Harbingers having a hand of glory for a constellation, something specifically associated with traitors, rght? So either theres no such implication in-universe and it will just so happen that the character is a traitorous one (since we know that the constellations are character-relevant for game design reasons) or that persom grew up with any astrologist able to read "TRAITOR" wrotten in bood across their fate, which would kind of make it hard to do that betraying in the first place if its so easy for people to learn your constellation? Like, Mona doesng even need to be around the person, you can canonically ask her about other characters and she will scry about them for you. It just feels…odd, you know? Like theres some in-unverse reason everyone gets what constellation they get that involves the name and symbolism being relevant to…someone or something making these choices, but not anybody in Teyvat. This video now has me wondering if its other things being named by someone else that are then somehow reflected in Teyvats stars and their connected people, like if the All Devouring Narwhal's true name was Monoceros Caeli according to something with more authority over beings true names than weve yet to see
The funny part is that Acheron is actually Raiden Ei and Mei's counterpart (just like Himeko, Seelee and Bronya are too) in Star Rail.
Oh…i thought it was because thier CN va are Kiana (Hu Tao) and Mei (Acheron) ಠωಠ
No one thought of this but you did, and somehow make senses.. amazing😂
well, then since raiden has the similar or same constealltion as xiao does't it mean that xiao is just another copy of zhongli but venti gave him anemo powers as a gift becuase sampo from honkai starrail decided to play cards with venti in greek methology based on pareallel universe which he was able to transform to the genshin world and win venti and now causes the entire shift in the story of honkais strrail as it sails to the moon because of the new event that occured in honkai impact three as they need a lot of help and therefore calls upon the herores in zenlesszonezero contact by stars in consteallation and thefore change inot the costumnes of genshin so they wont be suspicious and carry out the fucntion wth each a gnosis gievn from the cryo archon as a way to rescue the moon before its destroyed and in fact it was actually Khaenri'ah version two so they had t destroy it and thus honkai strrail impact 5to the power of 27 based on the stars fate according to the oratrice mecanique d'analyse cardinale by neuvillitete and caued guilty of this and they all become dissolved by celestia – I think this makes sense, doesnt it?
Waiting for Topaz and the IPC to arrive in Teyvat and start collecting debts LMAoooooo
