That pause after the new pupil asks "That's the road you took, right?" just hits me in the soul.

The background tree was also grow taller from when he trained with his master to when he is training the little boy

The interesting parallel is that the whole time until the end, Jing Yuan was holding back against her (not summoning the lightning lord to help him with the final blow). So the whole time he was holding back with his master. Then at the end when he suggests a spar with Yanqing, Yanqing says he won't hold back in their spar 😭

[kokuutou]

The fact that Jing Yuan is passing on his master's teachings, word for word, to young Yan qing, it hit deep. Mihoyo really loves these master-student relationships. This one is definitely Final Lesson level. I already have Yan qing (3rd gen), gonna need Jing yuan (2nd gen).

Seeing the shock on his face when she thrusts her sword at him into that transition was really powerful for me. You can really see in that moment the realization of what must be done. Really excellent storytelling.

[LumyTheQueen]

When Jing Yuan sees his reflection on the blade, he might also be realising that one day he too may become mara-struck and need to be put down (unless he is killed before that happens). Losing your mind to Mara is worse than being killed in battle.

6:55 I'm so sad, I feel like I'm the only one who noticed the smile on the master's face as she is fading away like she is thanking him for making the right choice

[NikolaiHelenekmcguy]

I also love the interpretation of his recital of his earlier oath as a sort of final desperate appeal to her humanity. His initial denial, his deep-rooted desire for her to be wrong about her death being necessary, and the potential meaning that brings to his later acceptance, and building to that final repayment of his master's gift. With his final repayment being the act of bringing meaning to his master's teachings.

[Zylodus]

So when they bring up the "long life species" thing, it is indeed connected to the lore of where they, Jing Yuan, Jingliu, and Yanqing (the new student at the end), are from. They put out another video before this one called "Myriad Celestia Trailer: History of The Xianzhou: Seven Arbiter-Generals" which goes into a bit of the lore of the Xianzhou Alliance's origins and generals in the style of a story book/folktale.

1st question: yes, it's his ultimate in game, and it's also freaking awesome.
2nd question: yes, the young man is playable too.

[lyreen]

ngl every time I use his ulti, he uses this exact same scene and it keeps bringing me back to this emotional moment when he decided to cut down his master - to prove his resolution a final time to his master

[philpascali]

always loved your reactions and on this one maybe even more than others, it was not so long 4 min 30 and though so deep and emotional train wreck as well, it was so hard when he said I repay you with this strike, such a strong and painful moment

[ParagonMad]

saw this about 5 hours ago and instantly hoped that you'd do a breakdown of this animation. And boy am i glad that you were so quick 😄

[Shaftronics]

Not gonna lie, I was hoping you'd come to this eventually, but I wasn't expecting it this soon. Thank you, dude.

[gamerjae]

love your reaction very insightful! and yes jing yuan summons what is called the Lightning Lord in game. he isn't playable yet but releases next week

[thanglongnguyenvu]

I will always be an advocate for good symbolism and the two trees representing Jing Yuan and Yan Qing respectively is something I really adore!

[FloeticsPH]

I love the whole Wuxia feel in this Animation so fucking much, also this Animation triggers alot of PTSD's from HI3 especially when you realise that Yanqing and Kiana basically said the same thing to their Teachers serious Red Flags but my god is it beautiful.

[Nova-zxmc]

The man Jing Yuan is an electro 5 star character who will come in the up coming banner phase 2 of ver 1.0
His student Yan Qing is an incredible single target dps 5 star character with ice element

[sarahrodrigues]

23:48 Funny enough Jing Yuan's light cone is also called "Before Dawn"

[JeannieLove]

I still love turn based rpgs and knowing this is releasing on PS5 eventually, plus Hoyoverse's crisp, clean character designs. Female MC is awesome, I love how she's tall when in Genshin the girl feels shorter.

Also, it has a mix of fantasy and sci-fi which I love in Star Ocean.
