"Black" King

Wonder who it refers to.

  • Heavenly Principles (though wouldn't the ruler of the Light & Human Realms be the White King?)

  • Nibelung's corpse

  • Hroptatyr

  • Abyss Twin

Irmin. His chinese name literally means black king, in english it’s called Vinster King.

u/WildSearcher56 2h ago

u/GetRickRolled42069 TsaritsaPersonalTrainer 3h ago

This basically confirms HP is a male no?

u/Working-Service-901 3h ago edited 3h ago

There's a theory that when the HP created the Shades they divided their femineity and masculinity.

u/_erikku216 i miss the baby saurians 3h ago

HP has repeatedly been described as genderless……

u/Jake_Feng 3h ago

In Nicole’s trailer he was referred to as ‘he’ and in this new version trailer he’s referred to as the black king.

u/Antique-Stock-7198 2h ago

The one in Nicole's trailer is a translation error btw.

u/Jake_Feng 2h ago

The official translation is wrong? Or people just don’t like it?

u/kgrey38 2h ago

The official English translation has been wrong many times.

u/Entity1080 Nibelung did nothing wrong 1h ago

It's not just the English translation. The subtitles of all other languages including simplified Chinese uses masculine pronouns for Phanes. It could still be a mistranstaltion since traditional Chinese uses "it".

u/Jake_Feng 18m ago

If they wanted to keep an entire character’s gender ambiguous they wouldn’t just have a mistranslation like that. That’s a pretty major thing.

u/Entity1080 Nibelung did nothing wrong 16m ago

Yea I agree. Since Hoyo is pretty careful when it comes to stuff like these. They had to re upload Sandrone's animated short because of a small dialogue change. So I doubt they'll let this pass unnoticed.

u/Jake_Feng 15m ago

Agreed. Unless they let Nicole’s trailer slide because of its Christian theme. Like using ‘He’ capital H for God.

u/Any_Bug_6968 29m ago

some other languages also do use male ones

u/Unanoni 3h ago

As long as HP is not that annoying pink elf sp I don't really care their gender lol

u/ForsakenOne-Z 3h ago

Okay, he will be a white elf who will be forgiven in the end.

u/Catixx 3h ago

Didn't Ke🅱️in just die at the end? Kiana didn't forgive him, nor did she resent him during the final battle, as far as I remember.

u/ForsakenOne-Z 2h ago

Kevin wasn't seen by most as a villain, but as someone who needed saving from himself first and foremost. In death, he finally reunited with his loved ones, as the game itself shows when he accepts that Kiana and her group can save the world from the Honkai and its destruction. So in the end, he did win, both in shedding the burden of being a "hero" and in helping his world.

Elysia is going to be the archon figure in Celestia

u/Aide_Representative Giddy Up Zibai 3h ago

I will watch people who chastised other for liking the shades doing a 180 flip if the HP is Kevin. Suddenly celestia’s “crimes” will be justifiable.
