The History of Welt Yang (Honkai: Star Rail Lore)

Welt Yang is a member of the Astral Express Crew, but his story goes far beyond that. In fact, unlike other characters in the game, he comes from the world of Honkai Impact 3rd. In this video, I go over his history before he came to Star Rail's world and how he got there.

Thank you so much for watching!

Welt is such a cool character, that rather than make an alternate version of him for this game, Hoyo just went “Nah fam, let’s put the OG in there.”

[Edmonton-ofec]

It’s so funny how Welt went through all this stuff and now he’s shepherding March and the Trailblazer around like they’re his rambunctious young children

[maingrader]

Welt seeing bronya and seele still being close:This feels familiar
Welt seeing himeko:You're as beautiful as the day we lost you

[agentbell]

So this is what he means by, "You know nothing of the weight of this power" (a line when he's fighting in star rail)

"I used to believe that kindness is the best gift a civilization can give, and I still do. Just because I once misplaced my kindness, doesn't mean that I should turn away from it and bury it for good."

I bet Welt would’ve felt some Deja vu with Bronya & Cocolia if he joined the crew on Jarilo VI.

Welt "Imma chuck you in a black hole" Yang. No wonder his ultimate in game is creating a black hole.

[Nokyyyyy]

Now I want to see a scene like:
Luocha: "so, this person is the reason why you were afraid of me ?" [Points at Void Archives]
Welt: "well, yes but..."
Void: "if you think I'm bad, you can thank your aeons you never met the guy I was made after"

[GlowingCharm]

You forgot to mention his brief time as an idol

[atleefo]

Another mention, this is how Welt boarded onto the Astral Express, once his spaceship ran out of fuel and he was with his unknown companion and crash landed on a barren desert planet named Salsotto (in HSR universe) which the Astral Express came tasked by Herta, to order to obtain Cadence Glass which can be found on Salsotto, and then Himeko and Pom-Pom found Welt on the planet.

Edit:
I had a minor mistake, actually welt did not crash land on the planet but was in fact somewhere near the planet

[smokey_mcbong]

Small correction. Bronya inherited the core from Yang but was never made the Soverign of AE. Welt is and has always been in charge of AE all the way after Joyce. There is nothing to support that being the leader of AE entails inherting the core of reason.

whoever the story director of the Honkai series is, you bro know how to make and connect stories and actually do the Universal Connection theory justice

[sirlukegamesalot]

now i know what he meant by "U KNOW NOTHING OF THE WEIGHT BEHIND THIS POWER"

[breadchick]

Losing 50/50 for Welt is a blessing! 😅

[forthelichkingsname]

Who wants to see a cutscene between Welt and Zhongli drinking wine together?

[whatTheFuck._.]

I love how void archive is in Welt splash art!

[hwe]

Star of eden was broken. All star of edens that Joachim and bronya use is a replica formed using herrscher of reason power. In fact, the true herrscher of reason has the capacity to create a divine key that is not inferior to the real one.

going into hsr i knew very little about hi3, i had played through the first chapter of the game but not much more, but pulling welt from the gacha got me so into learning about all the honkai lore and now im obsessed with both games :P

[SourPunchStrawz]

“Nah just kidding” LMAO!! I actually chuckled a little 😆 I’m literally so in love with this guy lmao, he’s also my favorite character. Bro’s majestic in a way I’ve never seen 😹😭💛

[charbelabouantoun]

I played honkai impact and finished it before star rail you don’t know how I screamed when I saw welt on screen I’m so happy he is the welt from hi3 I re rolled my account so many times to get him
