[CN Dub] Chapter 28: Thus Spoke Apocalypse - Honkai Impact 3 SEA

CC is available!

This is the final story chapter of the Otto Apocalypse arc. The emotional presentation, music, and incredible philosophical depth makes it one of (if not) the best stories in the game. It may be long, but if you've come all the way here, it's worth finishing.

Here are some tidbits [SPOILERS]:
Long before this chapter, there have been suspicions about Bianka's true identity (other than BKE being suspiciously strong in the meta). One of which has been an anagram: Bianka = KianaB. To date, it is unclear what the "B" stands for.

At 34:49 Dark Seele calls Light Seele "the other me". How adorable.

Doll voice actors and text colours in the Daze stage:
Huge Doll = Siegfried
HOMU = Kiana
HOLA = Young Bianka
HOMEI = Cecilia

This implies that Siegfried is split into his family, or in other words: Siegfried is made of his family. What a dad.

Siegfried only remembers Bianka when she was young, hence his memory, even though the dolls are said to be the same age.

The black Huge Doll has some interesting designs on it...

At 01:53:17, Otto reveals that Bianka's "non-standard Kaslana" hair is a side effect of his soulium therapy.
