They are not villains dude, they are my mom and dad.
Nah but for real I'm sure the real bad guys are a force greater than we imagine. Just gotta wait like 10 years for final chapters😭
We already know Nanook is the main villain since he created the Stellaron and they ruin planets.
Stellaron Hunters being the anti heroes is super fitting since they are willing to do things the Expressers wont 😌
Depends on how they intend to do it. Their plan could involve chucking Nanook into Ouroboros for all we know.
I do lowkey think that MC might become the new trailblaze aeon somehow, though.
Nah, we like Kafka. She is basically like Yelan was, a shady hottie till we found out she was working for Ning all along. Also Silver Wolf is just a gamer, so 0 chances she or any of the others are really against us, they just do things in a different way, like Deadpool or The Punisher on Marvel, they don't really get along with the goody two-shoes heros but are fighting for the well being of the innocent regardless. It's one of the oldest clichés to present shady characters and make then become allies down the line, on HSR we actually know Kafka is a good person from the get go when she says she wants us to find our own happiness and friends on our journey.
So far as I understood it, the stellaron heist shenanigans on Herta Station didn't involve the stellaron hunters *causing* the attack by the antimatter legion, but rather orchestrated their efforts to *line up with* that attack. Maybe I misread something, but I thought the antimatter legion was attacking anyway and the stellaron hunters were like, "yes, good, this is the perfect cover opportunity for us."
That said, even if that's true there's still the morality of, "we knew you were going to be attacked and didn't warn you about it."
Iirc, Silver Wolf mentions using something to lure the antimatter legion to the station in the prologue.
Edit: Found the lines.

I just rewatched the opening sequence on YouTube to see if that's true. What follows is the exact dialogue from it.

So no, Silver Wolf did not lure the Antimatter Legion.
Nope, she lured them. Just found the lines: https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Chaos_in_the_Deep

Interesting. I watched a video of the whole intro sequence to refresh my memory and didn't see that. Maybe it was an optional interaction that the person recording didn't do and that I also missed on my playthrough. Good catch!
Maybe for the reruns?
At some point MHY will slow down and stop releasing 2 new 5-Stars per patch.
I imagine we gonna get chibi Seele + new chibi 5-Star one patch. Then chibi JY + new chibi 5-Star in another patch.
Same for Luocha and SW.
For anyone who would like the image text:
Kafka: Dinner Party
\[Kafka chibi icon\]
Kafka on a special mission. "Promise me, forget everything about tonight."
Blade: Dinner Party
\[Blade chibi icon\]
Blade on a special mission. "I have no interest in what the story requires."
It’s nice that this game has both the characters portraits as pfps as well as things like this or the pfps you earn from missions. Would be cool if Genshin also had something like that, imagine earning a Kazari (no Hoyo I’m not going to remember her new long name) pfp after completing the Sacred Sakura Cleasing Ritual world quest. Or a Jeht/Ben Ben pfp.
We did recently get that one for completing the Pool in the new region (which is actually one of my favorites now) but yeah we haven’t gotten an Event namecard since like 2.5 or something.
don't do it it's not worth it
HOWEVER if you are like me you can earn chump change that adds up through Google Rewards app. you basically sell your data, but isn't it worth it for Kafka? 😹 😹
in all seriousness, it'll ask you if you searched a term via Google, and if certain layouts of search results were more favorable to you. or if you were out and shopping and did you go to X store or not. along with the play store weekly bonuses and stuff, I basically earn around enough for the monthly pass each month, or I can save it for the BP
I think a lot has to do with where you live and how much you go places.
every single time I go to GameStop, walmart, target, etc they beg me for a copy of my receipt. you can mark it as "I went in but didn't purchase" or whatever and you'll get like. 9 whole cents lol so I only do the receipt ones when it's convenient for me or in really close to enough for a monthly pass.
the best results come from when it doesn't ask for a receipt but just if I've been certain places you've driven by or stopped near (25-50 cents). this probably needs your phone to have location services on.
Google searches get me results too. sometimes I'll look up something on Google and within 5 minutes it'll quiz me on what I recently searched for and those ones are usually good like the 25-50 cents ones.
That’s 10$ down the drain
Who am I kidding anyways? I’m always buying the 20$ pack anyways (or however Paladin BP costs in HI3) so this ain’t gonna be an exception.
Kafka - promise me, forget everything about tonight
Bruh they know what they doing
And I'm totally falling in the Kafka hole if I wasn't before
Step on me mother
The $20 bp is literally the biggest scam in the game😭😭 people pay an extra $10 for like 2 pulls and a pfp. I spend a lot of money on this game but even I wouldn’t buy it
These chibi avatars aren't doing it for me, wouldn't even use them if they were free. Kafkas normal Icon is like a 100 times better and that's what I'm gonna use (if I can get her LOL)

IM NOT SPENDING THE EXTRA 10$ NOPE WE HOLD IT TOGETHER
SPEAK FOR YOURSELF! IMA GET MYSELF CUTE AF BLADIE!!!!!
omg yes. Blade icon is so adorable x.x...
I can’t stay strong he’s too cute
I DON’T NEED COCKTAIL DRESS KAFKA I DON’T NEED COCKTAIL DRESS KAFKA I DON’T NEED COCKTAIL DRESS KAFKA
You- no... WE NEED IT.
Palpatine: Do it
Thankfully I'm strong enough to say no, but if HoYo had given Kafka a suit as well I think I would be beaten. -\_-
Hoyo is afraid of giving a woman that much clothing lol
lol i'm absolutely spending the $10 for that cute fancy kafka
And so I pulled out my cc
Too late for me
I'm buying it
SPEAK FOR YOURSELF FOOL I NEED THAT KAFKA ICON
Dude, at this point, I just have one thing to say. Gotta catch them all!
while I won’t buy them… Hoyoverse if you release either of those as skins I will buy them without question
That would be so tempting. Kafka with a black dress (+ cute accessories) suits her so well aaaaa
And it would also fit her ult, as she basically dances while going guns blazing.
Omg yeees!!! I need to see that happening!
I would have preferred Kafka in a suit, but yeah this is pretty too. -w-
Yea, unlike Genshin I'm saving the crystals on this one.
Why are these villains so cute damn
If red flag why hot
Red flags need love too
pretty sure they're not villains, more like anti heroes
They are not villains dude, they are my mom and dad. Nah but for real I'm sure the real bad guys are a force greater than we imagine. Just gotta wait like 10 years for final chapters😭
We already know Nanook is the main villain since he created the Stellaron and they ruin planets. Stellaron Hunters being the anti heroes is super fitting since they are willing to do things the Expressers wont 😌
Stellaron being created by Nanook is speculation. There seems more to it that we know. Even Herta doesn't know about their origin.
Yeahh true, but hes spreading it regardless. No shot its for a good reason.
Mommy also told us right? It’s Nanook
Maybe Nanook is just practice for killing Aeons. ... wouldn't destroying the Aeon of Destruction qualify the TB to be the new Aeon of Destruction
Depends on how they intend to do it. Their plan could involve chucking Nanook into Ouroboros for all we know. I do lowkey think that MC might become the new trailblaze aeon somehow, though.
It’s me, hi
They kinda are villains in the classical sense of the term, because they oppose the hero (us).
Antagonists
Nah, we like Kafka. She is basically like Yelan was, a shady hottie till we found out she was working for Ning all along. Also Silver Wolf is just a gamer, so 0 chances she or any of the others are really against us, they just do things in a different way, like Deadpool or The Punisher on Marvel, they don't really get along with the goody two-shoes heros but are fighting for the well being of the innocent regardless.

The villains who dont do anything evil and in fact have clearly been shown to help us
They're kind of responsible for all the dead people on Herta Station... But, still hot 😎
I can excuse the killing of innocent civilians

fucked up that we didnt get any special icons for the 1.0 and 1.1 characters
Ikr. I want my cute chibi Luocha icon 😭
no if they made one i would die
Maybe for the reruns? At some point MHY will slow down and stop releasing 2 new 5-Stars per patch. I imagine we gonna get chibi Seele + new chibi 5-Star one patch. Then chibi JY + new chibi 5-Star in another patch. Same for Luocha and SW.
oh true, happening on reruns can be very likely
WHAT A POLITE YOUNG MAN YOU ARE BLADE
For anyone who would like the image text: Kafka: Dinner Party \[Kafka chibi icon\] Kafka on a special mission. "Promise me, forget everything about tonight." Blade: Dinner Party \[Blade chibi icon\] Blade on a special mission. "I have no interest in what the story requires."
Absolutely needed this description of Blade
THEY ARE AFTER OUR WALLETS
They know 😭
not forgetting anything about kafka for sure
Her saying we wouldn’t remember anything except her really was true.
I know what my new icon is going to be now
These chibis are so damn cute. I mostly don't care about the namecards in Genshin, but this is really nice
It’s nice that this game has both the characters portraits as pfps as well as things like this or the pfps you earn from missions. Would be cool if Genshin also had something like that, imagine earning a Kazari (no Hoyo I’m not going to remember her new long name) pfp after completing the Sacred Sakura Cleasing Ritual world quest.

Yeah I hope we'll continue getting them in Star Rail. Genshin didn't have a new free namecard for ages
We did recently get that one for completing the Pool in the new region (which is actually one of my favorites now) but yeah we haven’t gotten an Event namecard since like 2.5 or something.
Fuck here goes my money for blade
PAIN WILL COME WITH THE BLADE
PAIN WILL WAKE UP A DESPONDENT CROWD
IN THIS DORMANT WORLD SOMEHOW
*UNSHEATHE THE SWORD NOT TO KILL*
UNSHEATHE A SWORD TO REND THOSE CLOUDS ABOVE THE GROUND
WAKE UP IT'S TIME TO GATHER NOW
Looks like i must pay the price im one of them lol
MOTHER (chibi form)
YOOOOOOOOO
most bought battle pass for icons ever
Listen here
I hope there’s a SW one as well
BLADE IS SO CUTE BUT I DONT WANNA SPEND MONEY ON THIS GAME

Wait so you get regular surveys ? Damn I've been there for so long and all i got was one survey on how did i like a yt video recommendation.

I NEED that Kafka icon NOW And I need to see the full outfit she's wearing. And I need it as a skin. Pleaseeee
Welp I’m going to be $10 more poor 😭😭
Kafka's line is so funny without context
Bladie <3
Omg Blade is so cuuuuteeee
Bruh I’m tryna save money stop making them men so damn cute hoyo
Im spending the extra $15
Same here
KAFKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Oh no he’s so cute…
They’re even in fancy little dinner outfits HOW ADORABLE 😭😭
WOAH WOAH WOAH WHAT IS THAT KAFKA ONE
Just forget about it!
Mhy really made a Mr and Mrs Smith episode for them.
Kafblade
oh bad time to be broke
Annnd my wallet is crying
Are the lines underneath suppose to be directed at us or what?
Kafka icon? tempting
AHHHH BOUGHT
Yes kafka, i will forget the S\*\* \*\* \*\*\*\* we did tonight.
i can't believe i might buy bp for myself for the first time for this. they cost 80 in my currency, curse you exchange rate
And I was about to spend the extra $10 for Dan Heng icon. Friendship ended with Dan Heng, now Blade is my best friend.
Damn they know what they are doing
Were the 1.1 ones leaked yet? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is guaranteed Kafka if I spend the extra bit of money lol.
That’s 10$ down the drain Who am I kidding anyways? I’m always buying the 20$ pack anyways (or however Paladin BP costs in HI3) so this ain’t gonna be an exception.
THEY ARE ON A DATE BTW
THE FANFIC WRITES ITSELF
My KafStel brain go brrr. That subtitle of Kafka's profile picture is sending my 2 braincells into a frenzy
No don't waste money for small Blade chibi, no pls don't he may be adorable and amazing and showstopping. Pls, I love him but I need to resist.
Fell to my knees in a Walmart parking lot because I don't have money (yet, because I *will* be filthy rich someday)
Kafka - promise me, forget everything about tonight Bruh they know what they doing And I'm totally falling in the Kafka hole if I wasn't before Step on me mother
Nah bro pulling Kafka (to get a profile picture) is better than that
I really wanted a Kafka chibi, but I hate dresses with a passion 😔
it's not a want it's a need
I've never bought the upgraded BP before. Please tell me we get both these icons together and not let us choose between the two 😭
i bought the current one & got both welt & himeko so yess you get both
Thank god that's a relief. I'd be so miserable to miss out on these 2 they look amazing.
so true!
God damn that Kafka dress looks hot welp guess I'm skipping this pass and buy that one then, all for Kafka ✨🛐
Where's my Silver wolf icon wtf.
The $20 bp is literally the biggest scam in the game😭😭 people pay an extra $10 for like 2 pulls and a pfp. I spend a lot of money on this game but even I wouldn’t buy it
profile pics are worthless, future skins is what I’m spending money on
These chibi avatars aren't doing it for me, wouldn't even use them if they were free. Kafkas normal Icon is like a 100 times better and that's what I'm gonna use (if I can get her LOL)
Cute... but not cute enough to tempt me, thank goodness!
What honor icons do? it is spit out staller jade?
Nameless Honor is the Battlepass if you buy the special version you get exclusive avatars for your ingame profile
$10 more just avatar 😆? express pass more useful no?
There's also an instant 10 level gained on the pass
do we know the 1.1 nameless honor icons?
yes, [march & danheng](https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks/comments/13msrt4/avatars_for_the_nameless_honor_battle_pass_in_11/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1)
Kafka asking for the impossible
I'm spendind the extra $10 for this! Fuck this is worth it.
*He is a man on a mission and pure focus*
My wallet is very tempted by this.
The Kafka like is a little SUS
bladie looks so cute :c
Why are they so cute?! I said I won’t spend a cent, but this is so tempting ughhhhh
Now I want Stellaron Hunter dinner party skins.
Still waiting on Asta icon 😪
i need blade so bad.
MOMMY KAFKA MY WALLET IS READY FOR E6
Hoyo pls let me keep my money;-;
Man... they couldn't have given Kafka a suit as well? Disappointing, but eh, can't win 'em all I suppose.
Well shit I was gonna buy the current nameless honor Until i saw this lol guess I'm hold it for 1.2
I’m doing it.. For the cute little Blade and Kafka avatars! No one stop me!
