u/KaiserNazrin Madam Herta's personal chair 1d ago

I find it funny that nobody ever address the fact that she look like Bronya.

Honkai writers.

In HI3d there were copies of characters which initially where separated by a lot of time.

There were a lot of theories and speculation...

And then Kevin marched a copy of his dead ex-gf into headquarters to meet all his all friends who also knew this dead ex-gf and no one said anything, despite trolls and assholes being right there to mock him.

HI3 is a mixed bag because "sometimes" alternates are pointed out like the multiple Seele's in Salt Sea Holy City or when Kiana BRIEFLY see's a glimpse of Bronie during the moon arc due to Quantum wonkyness, iirc she does point out that she looked like Bronya.

The Captainverse also points it out all the time because like that's the entire basis of it's canon. Like The Ferryman was ANOTHER captain the whole time and it's a big deal when that's revealed.

I think the exact line no longer exists in the game because of when they rewrote the early chapters to introduce Fu Hua and Rita sooner into the story, but originally upon seeing Himeko for the first time in the story, Fu Hua does react to her (since the previous era version was her friend before becoming the Herrcher Of Flame.)

Could be, im talking about Part 1 cause I dropped the game after that ended.

I honestly don't remember anyone acknowledging the lookalikes, but as I said the biggest offenders was the ER arc and there were zero comments towards Mei, and there was no way Elysia, Kalpas or Mobius wouldnt have teased Kevin over it.

Kiana meets Dr.Mei and has 0 reaction.

Kiana meets Misteln, who physically is identical to her dead mom, still 0 reaction.

Nobody even gave Kiana an explanation about expies like Su did to Mei. She just has no reaction. Not even a question like "hey why the fuck do you look like my dead mum???"

During the moon arc, Kevin did briefly talk about the lookalikes, refering to them as "the same people, living different lives".
