So I'll open with Phainon.
Anyway, just to start as pretext.
These are the HSR credits. When I bring up the Flame Reaver, which I will, I am not being stupid.
Anyway this dude throws hands with himself so this is gonna be hard asf to score. Is it really aura loss when you're getting slapped around by yourself?
Please give feedback, I'm sure I've argued something badly at some point given I spent all day going through 6 patches of 8 hours each.

TRAILERS + 3.0
The Amphoreus first trailer. The saga of heroes, revealing all the characters we’d be seeing.
“Until the journey’s end, when the Titans of old have all fallen… and the nameless new king ascends the throne, alongside countless heroes… to embark on the grand mission of deliverance.” (+?)
This was Phainon’s first reveal, immediately revealed in Kevin’s pose, sword aiming up towards the gods. A direct imitation of Kevin’s first appearance in Honkai Impact, the same lookback and all.
Phainon is even front and centre in the Amphoreus cast. Standing, blade pointed to the ground. He’s immediately presented as the most important member of the cast, even being the largest out of the group. (+?)
In Amphoreus’ opening, the music begins right as it reveals Phainon, a hall's worth of guards kneeling to him. (+?) The camera focuses on his muscular body and the golden blood he splashes onto it, presumably in some kind of ritual. This dude is built as hell, instantly presenting Phainon as a powerful warrior. (+?)
Phainon’s face swaps out to a shadowy intimidating figure for just a split second. This is the Flame Reaver, already immediately symbolising his connection to it.
For now, the trailer just shows him and Phainon fighting. The strike downwards even has impact frames, helping to sell the power behind it. (+?)
Phainon is even mirrored with the Trailblazer, the main character, looking out over a ruined world, blade in hand. This shot is just straight aura. (+?)
Now, onto the story itself.
Phainon’s first in-game appearance. He jumps down from a roof, slamming down into a horde of enemies that the Trailblazer and Dan Heng were starting to struggle with. (+?) Upon his landing, he turns and blitzes both Dan Heng and the Trailblazer, disarming Dan’s spear with the Trailblazer’s bat. He then just shows off, because he can. (+?)
Trailblazer and Dan Heng are both the main focuses of the story, they’ve fought Emanators who destroy galaxies and characters ascending to Aeon-hood, the verse’s equivalent of god-hood. Phainon casually steals their weapon and disarms the other. (+?)
He then tells them both that he was helping out by disarming them. ‘Roaming around a place like the Abyss with weapons in tow is a show of provocation.’ - Acting as if he wasn’t just styling on them a minute ago. (+?)
You can even note the name ‘Phainon’ is unusual. It is in fact a cover name.
Anyway, here’s the loredrop on Titans. They’re ancient gods, who formed Amphoreus. They’ve turned hostile due to something called the ‘Black Tide’ sweeping through the land. The Chrysos Heirs, people with golden blood, part of Phainon’s group, are destined to kill the Titans and take their coreflames, becoming demigods. These demigods have the full powers of the Titans, making them all incredibly strong.
There’s 12 titans, 3 each carved the heavens and earth, wove the threads of fate, molded life with their hands and ‘guided calamity’s gate’ (This means Death, Strife and Trickery specifically) - They’re extremely powerful and shouldn’t be underestimated.
https://youtu.be/BQixCuHns7o?si=tkfuFbCLANUqkZNd&t=2834
Here is Phainon fighting an avatar of one of these Titans, Nikador. In one attack, he fells it. (+?) - This Nikador passively induces powerful fear, enough to render its opponent unable to fight. Phainon casually resists this. (+?) He was also one of the ones responsible for defeating the actual titan of strife, who was an immortal being. (+?)

Two cool guns, nice pose, ghostly coat, shadows swirling out of his back.
Alucard is Dracula, one of the most iconic characters in fiction. Paradoxically, he is also a real person, Vlad Tepes, a lord of a small country who scared away the world's greatest empire at the time by prominently impaling 23,000 people.
He lectures vampires like a veteran may lecture a fool, has a huge gun that fires explosive bullets made from the silver that resulted from melting down a silver cross at a cathedral.
Walks out of a hotel in full view of local news and police, having just mounted the SWAT team they sent after him on the flagpoles, with his shadow stretching up the building to tower over all.
Steps out of and through a wall, scaring the crap out of a group of mercenary soldiers who just got back from a war.
Grows a whole bunch of shadow arms and prepares to use them in savage fashion.
Even sits with presence, letting down at the reader in his stylish English coat.

Alucard drawing his big gun, putting a lesser vampire to shame, while talking about how normal guns don't work on vampires. Mocking that vampire and his small army that just casually massacred a police department, educating that vampire on vampire matters like a veteran might lecture a fool, and then wiping out a whole squad of monsters. Bonus for the fact this vampire was about to indecently touch Seras and Alucard stopped him.
Standing in fire, partially transformed into shadows, in the wreckage of a plane he just crashed, and the ship deck he crashed it into. Bonus: he landed the plane on some 1930's moustache guy followers.
Rears out of a partly destroyed plane while it's diving, transformed into shadows, bearing down on a group of vampires, who once again, are 1930's and 1940's villains, and no, they are not the regular German army. The people he's diving at have just destroyed the plane by shooting at it, by the way.
Alucard's army of souls, the spoils of his wars against the largest empire of the time, and his time as a singular vampire for centuries after. His army numbers over 100,000 at this point. Here the army is about to sweep hundreds of 1940's bad guys and thousands of guys in creepy witch hunt clothes off the map and mount them on spikes all through London. All of those guys he's about to turn into decorations have spent the day using deadly force on civilians including children.

VERSION 3.1
This is where the Flame Reaver appears, intrinsically linked to Phainon. It’s more complicated, but we’ll get into it. All you need to know is he counts. (Dude is ALSO Khaslana)
He instantly threatens the group:
“You’re not Demigods. Stand down or die.”
Mem immediately says to run, that they won’t be able to win. This is a being made of memories, capable of reversing time.
Castorice has a death aura and if you touch her, you die, she’s also a Chrysos Heir.
Trianne is a Demigod, who has absorbed her Titan’s coreflame at the cost of splitting into 1,000 pieces.
So his threat terrifies a demigod, someone with the powers of death and someone with the powers of time. To the point where they say they should run. (+?)
The cutscene. The flame reaver turns on the spot, raising his arm to push out his cloak for more aura. (+?)
He points his finger at Castorice, making a phantom that slashes into her arm. He doesn’t even have to move to make phantoms, he just does this for aura. (+?) He counts the slashes out loud. His second slash easily knocks away Trianne. Once again, a demigod.
He begins to walk towards the group while drawing his sword slowly for more aura. (+?) - His theme even begins to blare in the background for added effect. (+?) - His aura then blasts outwards, he raises his sword to the air, then slowly lowers it at the Trailblazer. (+?) Even saying that ‘three slashes are enough’ implying that he’s going to end the battle and finish the main character with the third.
Here’s his theme in the fight. The song has insane aura. (+?)
He then one-shots your whole team. A totally scripted loss. (+?) He summons his staff, made for ceasing coreflames, making sure to exaggerate it as he does so (+?) but gets snuck from behind by Anaxagoras. This rips a whole in his chest… yet the Flame Reaver walks this off, fully regenerating in seconds. Anaxa even says that this ambush failed. (+?)
He starts reverse-jumping everyone in a 5v1. This includes Anaxa who has the Coreflame of Reason at this point. They have to teleport him away to survive. That’s an insane record when getting jumped. (+?)
It’s also revealed that this very same Flame Reaver is the one who destroyed Phainon’s homeland. (+?)
Later in the very same patch, they jump the Flame Reaver again. Another 5v1. They even abandon him in the past to try and get rid of him.
The dude jumps through time to go back to fighting them. Absolute villain. (+?)
Also, Flame Reaver Ult. The move just genuinely has aura. Not much I can say here. (+?) He even gets another rendition of his theme in this fight. (+?)
Something you should know, Mydei, the red-haired one, is immortal, you have to stab him through his tenth thoracic vertebra to kill him. He tells this just to Phainon.
Flame Reaver declares it’s time to end the fight. Summons an army of phantoms. Notably aiming at Mydei’s weak spot. If it wasn’t for Phainon blocking that attack, which is still insane because Phainon blocks three at once, Mydei would be dead. (+?)
Admittedly, thanks to this, Mydei gets an opening and does get aurafarmed a little bit… but he gets it back in blood later. Don’t worry about it. They deem the Flame Reaver dead, foolishly.
VERSION 3.2 (Yes, this is all there is for 3.2. Bum-ahh patch.)
Nah. He’s not dead. The Flame Reaver is alive. Everyone literally gasps at this while Phainon is delivering his speech. His mere name brings terror. (+?)

Smirking while riddled with bullet holes. Still smirking with his head cut in half. And with his head taken off. Regrowing his head and arm. Reforming his body. Strides through fire unperturbed.
Leering down the barrel of a nasty gun. Sitting like a master strategist. Has loads of glowing red eyes. A creepy form he took for fun. Poses with two guns in a billowy coat with shadows snaking off him, leering down at thousands of enemies. Poses in a battle pose with snaking shadows whirling around behind him and his coat billowing around him, holding his guns in a deliberate upside down cross to denounce Anderson.
Holds a machine gun while entering a broken building in WWII. Yes, he fought in the big war. Carries an army of monsters in his coffin.
Enters a war-torn city in a destroyed ship, leers over the battlefield like a predator in his hunting ground, readies his two gnarly yet fancy pistols, stands there with his billowing coat and snaking shadows swirling in the air for a moment, then leaps over the harbour in a single bound, leaping over the enemy armies to land right in the middle of them and be confronted by the two best soldiers of the two opposing armies, only to smirk at these assembled armies and their champions, still looking at them like snacks. Where everyone else sees a terrible war, he sees a playground. Where everyone else sees armies of monsters and thousands of hateful people, he sees a buffet.

VERSION 3.3
Things take a major turn for the worse. Trianne, Anaxa, Castorice, Mydei and Aglaea are either dead or unable to help. Phainon is reflecting on their departures after getting his new sword. Dawnmaker. He’s one of the few left now, left to complete the Flame Chase journey, to gather all the Coreflames. Look at his design, the sword, the outfit. Full of aura. (+?)
And thus, he steps up. The fight against Aquila, the Titan of the Sky. He yanks it out of his domain, revealing its full form. The fight begins. (+?) This is the foe he’s going against, a being that can summon meteors and freely control the weather. It's an angry god, controlling day and night.
‘Does this weather please you, Titan Incarnate? Indulge in this, and taste the fiery blaze of Dawnmaker!’ - Literally threatening a God in its own domain, also his VA is insane. It just adds more aura. (+?)
The battleground becomes a falling platform, plummeting down to a pool of molten ground, against the strongest foe yet. A horrible situation, yet Phainon declares ‘There is a whole world waiting to be saved. We… have no intention of dying here with you!’ mid-fight. (+?)
As the Titan takes flight, Phainon brandishes his blade, staring unintimidated up at the metallic beast. (+?)
It dashes down towards him and Phainon dives right at it, severing its neck along its length with Dawnmaker, cutting right through its eye as the music picks up. (+?) - This by all means should be the killing blow.
Yet the thing comes back, powered by the black tide, splitting along where Phainon sliced it into two.
Then this cutscene. The scene comes to light with his yell, he brandishes his sword to make way for light, even aurafarming with his various poses, wielding his blade in front of his face. Just genuine aura. (+?)
Towards the end of the battle, Phainon declares that “The first and only God that Dawnmaker will slay, is you!” - Once again, aura cause of the VA. (+?) The battle ends with Phainon and the Trailblazer slicing the thing in two, slaying the Titan in its totality.
Yet… this isn’t where things finish for 3.3. The Flame Reaver is back. Cipher is making a fool of him, so he gets it back in blood, kills her for her mockery. (+?) Cipher is the demigod of trickery. Her lies become reality. One of her lies was that Kephale would bring light over Okehema, the main city, forever. With Cipher’s death, this lie dissolves. Everything begins to fall into chaos.
And in the end, the Flame Reaver is aura-farming behind the group. Just watching. They have to fight, and in this short time, the Trailblazer is almost killed. (+?) Castorice and Mydei fight the Flame Reaver to hold it back so the world can be reset with the final coreflame.
And yet there it is. It appears up ahead. The Flame Reaver could not be held back, and Dan Heng decides he’ll have to hold the Flame Reaver back himself. (+?) Mydei, the demigod of Strife, an Immortal, presumably killed. This is then confirmed. The Flame Reaver got it back in blood, skewering Mydei right through his spine, then just walking away through a portal like nothing happened. A kill-count of two Demi-Gods in a single patch. (+?)
Phainon goes to return the coreflame. To reset the world of Amphoreus.
"It doesn't matter. This cruel Flame-Chase Journey has made me abandon my fantasies. The future is not a paradise with a gentle west wind, waiting for us to step in... If what lies ahead is a mass of chaos, I will tear it apart... Then usher in the first ray of blazing sunlight." (+?)

This is his loyal servant and follower.
This is his countess.
Sits like a king on his throne.
Lunges like a striking snake.
Impales a mass murdering indecent offender and is clearly loving it. That priest was going to indecently assault Seras, and that grin was the last thing he saw.
Impales a vampire serial killer after thoroughly deflating his ego.
Unmoved when hit by bullets.
Floats up the side of a building to talk to Seras on the roof.
Unperturbed by a bullet to the head.
Crushes Luke's severed leg.
Looming over Luke with a shadowy hundred-eyed dog for an arm, about to eat him.
Reforms from bats and darkness.

Soldiers emptied their submachineguns at him resulting in this, and he doesn't care.
Beats an enhanced super vampire easily.
The return of Count Dracula, with an army of undead behind him made up of fallen allies and enemies alike.
Alucard composed of shadows and other strange matter.
Charges at Anderson, a clash of true titans.
Tears apart Anderson, a monster of God amped by the actual blood of Christ.
Still smirking while drastically weakened and missing an arm.
Alucard with his monster dog behind him.
Holding the rifle of an enhanced super vampire after stomping her, with his shadows and coat billowing around him.
Nice suit of armour, his old warlord look. And a huge sword to match. Leading his army on horseback back when he was human.
Alucard still being made of shadows, preparing to attack Anderson after being engulfed in holy fire.
Wields this fancy gun and this nasty one.
Walks down a hall full of enemies, towers over them by a full head and shoulders, has all of them absolutely terrified of him even though he isn't doing anything yet, and looks stylish while doing it.

VERSION 3.4 - PHAINON’S PATCH
Yet… things are paused. Right as the coreflame will be returned. We get a loredump.
Phainon’s journey is revealed. Aedes Elysiae, his homeland. Its complete destruction.
Cyrene is alive. She’s meant to be dead. It is a different Flame-Chase Journey. Not the one we arrived in.
They faced the same end, just like in 3.3. Okhema going dark. This is the ending from 3.3. It’s why Cyrene was there. This is another version of Phainon.
This scene replays over and over in his mind. The Era Nova. The resetting of the world.
A total of 33,550,335 times. It, Amphoreus, is a never-ending cycle. Phainon has been here that many times, with every other Chrysos Heir, time after time after time.
And the master of the countless memories we saw, the constant between every cycle seen before. It’s the Flame Reaver. He has accessed the Vortex of Genesis once again, usually inaccessible. - "They who have already burnt their own self to cinder." is how Lygus describes them, raw asf. (+?)
He beheads Lygus, the administrator of the cycles, allowing his head to roll along the floor. (+?)
And this. This is the final end of the 33,550,336th Flame-Chase journey.
He slowly walks towards the two, wielding his blade, in no hurry at all. All that for aura. (+?) The music starts to pick up, both the Flame Reaver and Phainon point their blades at one another, speaking the same words, their poses mirroring one another, their blades obscuring their faces. (+?). "With my flesh as kindling... Light the first dawn of the new world!" - The quote goes hard, the two will do anything to persist, to get to the new world. (+?)
“Losses… are a constant on the Flame-Chase journey… and you haven’t lost… nearly enough…” - Treating Phainon as insignificant, because truthfully, a single cycle of Phainon’s losses is nothing compared to the tens of millions of cycles the Flame Reaver has been through. (+?)
Phainon fires back, declaring that with the Flame Reaver’s corpse, he’ll ignite the dawn. - Once again, VA carries. (+?) The two are going blow for blow, even in their words.
The two trade blows, culminating in Flame Reaver’s mask flying off. The two mirror each other perfectly, but when they turn around… Phainon is staring at a chipped, decayed version of himself. (Flame Reaver’s model is actually a remake of Kevin’s Hi3 model. The hair and even the black and white of the outfit around the neck is the same). The Flame Reaver gets another re-make of his theme, this time much more triumphant. Once again, everything will restart. (+?)
"This form shall fuel the fire... burn, burn unceasing!"- Just goes hard asf. (+?)
It ends with Phainon’s sword in the Flame Reaver’s chest. His sword in his selves from all the previous cycles. All 33,550,335 of them. (+?) "Why not... let wrath... incinerate fate?" - Flame Reaver speaks while urging Phainon to take his coreflames with his staff. (+?)
It is revealed that Amphoreus is just a data simulation - A bottomless well of fury from a part of Nous, an Aeon, being swayed by the destruction. It is a Scepter of Nous, cast aside by it. This is necessary context for what comes later.
Thus, we see the 0th cycle. The black tide, what is destroying the world, it’s just data being wiped away. Phainon and Cyrene stand, watching the destruction. Watching the world decay. They’re all just characters in a program, following the same extrapolations over and over. Every Phainon is just an extrapolation to be fed to the machine, for it to learn, to enhance the black tide. For it to be used on reality. The Scepter is a Lord Ravager, a bearer of Destruction, seeking to perfect the black tide and destroy the universe.
Yet the 0th cycle’s Phainon and Cyrene defy this fate. They will not become fuel for the destruction, they will now allow the black tide to be unleashed. Phainon kills Lygus. (+?)
They decide to place everything on a gamble. Cyrene decides she’ll erase time through being killed by Phainon, and Phainon chooses to endure the endless cycles ahead. Everything will reset, Phainon will bear all the coreflames so they don’t become nourishment for the Black Tide. Even if he has to burn through his own body. This is his resolve. (+?)
Things cut back to the current cycle. Phainon stabbing the Flame Reaver. Every single memory spills out as the world begins to reset. The previous Cyrene sacrificing herself to restart Amphoreus’ time, the 1st Phainon taking his trip into the Endless Recurrence of Amphoreus. This is Khaslana. The Flame Reaver, the collection of all Phainons throughout the cycles. His true form revealed as he transforms, the music starting to chant with his yell of rage. (+?) - He floats upwards, spreading out his body in almost splendour of what he has become, aurafarming in that glow. (+?)
And thus, we finally begin to see everything. This is the 1st cycle. It shows Khaslana upholding the world, his blood bleeding down into the Flame Reaver, the various symbols of the coreflames surrounding Khaslana. The Flame reaver on the leaf, Khaslana on the right, one falling, the other ascending. This is what Khaslana’s journey is, this image perfectly represents it. (+?)
Phainon most get all the coreflames and reset the world so that the black tide cannot break free into the universe. We see the CG of Phainon’s trip through time, his long bloodied walk, a single picture shows his journey. (+?)
Originally, the war between the Imperator Cerydra and the Titan of the Earth was bloody arduous conflict. In this timeline, Khaslana just severed the Titan’s head. No losses. He did what required an entire war alone with the powers of the coreflames. (+?) - In the CG, his dead eyes gain the coreflames glow. He’s gaining more power. (+?)
Yet it all ends in the same outcome. This version’s Phainon sees that he never shed a tear for his companions and decides to draw his sword upon Khaslana. Who fell that day remains a mystery, the coreflames, the memories, everything was passed on.
He recovered all twelve coreflames but nothing changed. There was no peaceful end, but the Black Tide did not grow any stronger. He managed to stall its escape into the universe for a cycle. (+?)
Throughout the repeats, he tried to destroy the black tide, tried to breach the Scepter Amphoreus was confined in. In the 42nd cycle, he stopped caring as much for his companions, growing cold to them. In the 133rd cycle, cognitive function began to degrade. Despite this, he kept going. (+?)
Cycle 134 - At this point he carries 1,596 coreflames… so when Bartholos, the Titan of Trickery, tries to steal the Coreflame of Reason, he kills the Titan. The departure doesn’t affect him anymore… but Khaslana already knows what will happen. When asked if he’ll carve the Trickery coreflame out of her chest, Khaslana tells her that it depends on her attitude. That the endings where she asked this question haven’t been so cruel. Basically telling her he can and will kill her if she gets in his way. (+?) Anaxa points out Khaslana is turning cold. That the people he’s trying to save are no more than ants to him now.
Khaslana doesn’t disagree. Tells them to accept fate. and hand over the coreflame. Tells them even if their struggles are futile, they all have the right to choose. He doesn’t want to kill them, but he’s making it clear to the two he has no grievances about doing it. (+?)
He kills them both, at the end of the 134th cycle he has more coreflames. The same coreflames make up the glow in his eyes now, his power visible in his very eyes. (+?)
Khaslana continues persisting, no matter how many of his old friends he has to kill. He won’t let the black tide breach the universe.
He keeps trying to break out from the simulation, with no success. He’s just data, after all.
By Eternal Recurrence #5,297 his mind has degraded even more. This continues all the way up to the 108,642nd cycle.
He appears, bodies of those he’s killed behind him. Face to face with Mydei. And so like countless cycles before… Khaslana annihilates Mydei, full-countering his strongest attack with his own. (+?) Khaslana takes his coreflame. (+?)
It was still not enough. The blaze running through his body was not hot enough. It had to be fed. Even if it meant burning his body to ash. He’s willing to do anything to keep the cycles going, his persistence everlasting. (+?)
Recurrence #2,003,432 - 24,041,183 coreflames. He will bear this burden, for as long as it takes. Castorice even calls his fate more cruel than Death, yet he continues on. (+?) Khaslana continues on, knowing they must clash blades. He continues, he will burn destruction to the ground by transforming his soul into a raging fire. He is fighting against fate itself, and he will not stop. (+?) Even as his form is meant to run out in gameplay, it persists with the message that ‘The sweltering sun doesn’t fall until it burns out…’ - Evidently, Khaslana hasn’t burnt out yet, even after 24,041,183 cycles. Each cycle takes 1,000 years. (+?)
Castorice uses her strongest attack on Khaslana, the full power of a titan. Khaslana ends her regardless, in one attack. (+?) - ‘Let this be a tribute… to your million struggles, fought time and time again.’ - He’s killed her countless times at this point, he no longer cares. He honours her death, but does not feel for it. Not anymore. (+?) He takes the coreflame, the glow in his eye has turned into a river of gold, sweltering with endless heat. "As if even the deepest abyss of primordial chaos could be burned away." - And he's enduring all of it, every moment, enduring the flames that must burn his very soul. (+?)
Recurrence #4,000,001 - Khaslana speaks about his experience forging 12 coreflames into 1. That it’s a burning, violent power ready to tear his body apart. His body holds 48 million coreflames. He says it won't be long before his body is reduced to what the flame reaver is. Charred, crumbling bones. Despite this, he endures. (+?) Despite knowing his body won’t hold out, he’s willing to pass the burden onto another Phainon.
Recurrence #23,570,000 - Despite all of the cycles, the 23 billion years at this point, he swears that everyone’s deaths won’t be in vain. Even as he sounds more and more jaded. Even though the flames devour him in an instant. He holds out: his last shreds of humanity not consumed yet. (+?) Even as Hyacine uses her strongest attack, he bids her farewell and ends her then and there. (+?)
And yet… even if fate is set in stone, even if Amphoreus' wrath will one day converage upon the universe. Khaslana will never yield to it. Despite all the cycles, how all he’s doing is stalling, he still declares he will never fall. Never yield to fate. Even if it pains him to keep going, even if the coreflames incinerate him from the inside out. Even his emotions have been hollowed out from the inside, no look on his face, his tone far less cheerful, but he’ll still never give in. (+?)
“23,570,000 cycles… 282,840,000 Coreflames… No more chasing is needed. And now, I am the fire at the end of the long night. The Flame-Chase isn’t some quiet walk through a sea of flowers. It’s a revolution, an all-consuming transformation. And if Destruction is the only way… Then let me be the one to step across the ashes of the old world and burn endlessly.” - He will bear this burden. Alone. He will burn endlessly, do whatever it takes. (+?)
And finally we arrive at our Khaslana. Our cycle’s Phainon. Countless versions stood where he was. Despite the countless memories… he’s still willing to go and bear this burden. (+?)
“I will kill gods and comrades alike and steal the Coreflames. And even if my mind turns to ash along with my body, I will keep my purpose in mind… I will stop Era Nova. I will find the next me… and make him carry on this futile endeavor of thirty million lifetimes.’ - His resolve is set in stone, he will continue no matter what. (+?) All for the sake of saving the planets beyond the sky. That he doesn't even know.
And so we return. To the moment Phainon reset the world and inherited Khaslana’s will. Nanook himself, the Aeon of Destruction gazes upon Phainon as he transforms, this gaze is incredibly difficult to get. An Aeon is a true god, even their gaze bestows strength. (+?) His old self crumbles, and Khaslana remakes the world in an instant. Floating there, the glowing light illuminating him like some kind of god. (+?)
So when Lygus confronts him and attempts to break his resolve… Phainon calls his attempts repetitive. Uninspired. He was never swayed. The score is 33,550,336 to 0. Khaslana’s resolve has never broke. Not once. (+?)
Despite Phainon being trapped in the cycles, he calls Lygus out, tells the robot that he’s the real prisoner to Phainon. As long as the cycles go on, Lygus cannot leave. He even says he will never accept the mercy of being released from the cycles. (+?) - Because Lygus is a prisoner to the gods, and to Phainon.
Phainon doesn’t even bother to stand there anymore. He just floats, looking over Lygus’ decapitated head, showing his elevated status. (+?)
He then calls out Nanook, the Aeon who just gazed upon him. Nanook is the Aeon of Destruction, the embodiment of all Destruction. His Emanators alone can destroy galaxies in instants, all while Khaslana is just code. Data inside a simulation. Khaslana looks back across the cycles, reflects on it all. I shouldn’t need to elaborate on anything here, it truly speaks for itself. Especially after all Khaslana has done is elaborated on, the pain he went through in killing his allies, in merely existing to protect the world. I suggest you watch the video because the VA once again carries.
“In the tenth cycle, I drove Dawnmaker through the heart of every Titan. Golden blood ran down my fingers. Divine fire seared through my nerves, nearly breaking my will - but I endured.” (+?)
“In the ten-thousandth cycle, my former comrades had all become my enemies. The endless slaughter dulled my senses to pain. The painful emptiness almost swallowed me, forcing me to stop fighting - but I endured.” (+?)
“In the hundred-thousandth cycle, the Destruction had already fused into a blazing sun, surging within this fragile body. My rationality had been burned away at the dawn of the era… Yet even with only this shattered body remaining, I still endured.” (+?)
“In the twenty-three million five hundred seventy-thousandth cycle… This time I felt it: a tiny spark rising in the hollow cavity of my chest, different from the obsession with Deliverance. By its faint glow… once again - no, countless times again - I endured!” (+?)
“Now, a sun is about to fall, ready to incinerate this absurd space-time dimension in an instant - That sun is me - all the countless versions of me from the past - along with my countless brethren, dragged into existence against their will, drowning again and again in your golden blood. The very essence of this world’s suffering and despair, fused into the purest hatred, the fiercest rage- Nanook, you arrogant fool! You think we were born only to serve as fuel for the fire? Fine, then - just as you wish, let the fire burn!” (+?)
“If I was born as the blazing sun of Destruction, then let you and your lackeys be the flares erupting from my core! And let this rage, burning futilely for thirty million epochs, engulf everything- And grant you a dawn where all stars burn to ash!” (+?)
Khaslana breaks out of the simulation. After attempting to breach the scepter millions of times, again and again. He finally succeeds. (+?)
Leading to this animated short. His well deserved crashout, after billions upon billions of years.
The beginning shows him running through the cycles, growing, becoming through he is today, the fire raging until he finally escapes the simulation.
“Are you ready? Nanook! I’ve brought you Destruction!” - Countless members of the anti-matter legion pour out, but Phainon’s theme begins playing. In instants he sends hundreds flying with singular attacks, rips them apart easily. Bathes in the blood of his slaughter. (+?)
Then Zephyro appears. The strongest Emanator of Destruction. Light shining down upon him like a divine messenger… yet Khaslana instantly goes to fight. In an instant he transforms, dozens upon dozens of meteors falling down upon the Emanator. Yet he is cut down, his arm sliced in two. He lands upon the bodies of his former comrades, of all the people in Amphoreus.
It does not stop him. He grins and his fire burns ever hotter. (+?) He gets up, raging ever hotter, stabbing through his wing and charging at his enemy with no regard for safety. (+?)
And even with his own sword in his gut, turned upon him, his fire burns hotter and hotter. He completely transcends Zephyro, bypassing his foe entirely, aiming directly at the Aeon of Destruction himself. (+?) His very run incinerates entire galaxies. (+?) And all that rage culminates on a scratch upon Nanook’s cheek. Easily healed.
Yet this is a feat never seen before. Never deemed even possible. For the Astral Express, the main character’s group, who go against Nanook, this is proof in its purest form. Their enemy is fallible. Is defeatable.
Once again, linking back to Kevin, his destiny is to soar to show others the way, and then fall with proof of his heights.
And once again, this is mere data. Mere data reaching out of a simulation by pure fury, and slapping the highest god in the face. (+?)
It is fury without equal. (+?)
Also the song. Just add however many points you want for this song. (+?) Here is the theme that plays throughout most of 3.4. The unreleased version is what plays during his speech, while the first section is throughout the majority of 3.4 (+?)
Yet… things are paused. Right as the coreflame will be returned. We get a loredump.
Phainon’s journey is revealed. Aedes Elysiae, his homeland. Its complete destruction.
Cyrene is alive. She’s meant to be dead. It is a different Flame-Chase Journey. Not the one we arrived in.
They faced the same end, just like in 3.3. Okhema going dark. This is the ending from 3.3. It’s why Cyrene was there. This is another version of Phainon.
This scene replays over and over in his mind. The Era Nova. The resetting of the world.
A total of 33,550,335 times. It, Amphoreus, is a never-ending cycle. Phainon has been here that many times, with every other Chrysos Heir, time after time after time.
And the master of the countless memories we saw, the constant between every cycle seen before. It’s the Flame Reaver. He has accessed the Vortex of Genesis once again, usually inaccessible. - "They who have already burnt their own self to cinder." is how Lygus describes them, raw asf. (+?)
He beheads Lygus, the administrator of the cycles, allowing his head to roll along the floor. (+?)
And this. This is the final end of the 33,550,336th Flame-Chase journey.
He slowly walks towards the two, wielding his blade, in no hurry at all. All that for aura. (+?) The music starts to pick up, both the Flame Reaver and Phainon point their blades at one another, speaking the same words, their poses mirroring one another, their blades obscuring their faces. (+?). "With my flesh as kindling... Light the first dawn of the new world!" - The quote goes hard, the two will do anything to persist, to get to the new world. (+?)
“Losses… are a constant on the Flame-Chase journey… and you haven’t lost… nearly enough…” - Treating Phainon as insignificant, because truthfully, a single cycle of Phainon’s losses is nothing compared to the tens of millions of cycles the Flame Reaver has been through. (+?)
Phainon fires back, declaring that with the Flame Reaver’s corpse, he’ll ignite the dawn. - Once again, VA carries. (+?) The two are going blow for blow, even in their words.
The two trade blows, culminating in Flame Reaver’s mask flying off. The two mirror each other perfectly, but when they turn around… Phainon is staring at a chipped, decayed version of himself. (Flame Reaver’s model is actually a remake of Kevin’s Hi3 model. The hair and even the black and white of the outfit around the neck is the same). The Flame Reaver gets another re-make of his theme, this time much more triumphant. Once again, everything will restart. (+?)
"This form shall fuel the fire... burn, burn unceasing!"- Just goes hard asf. (+?)
It ends with Phainon’s sword in the Flame Reaver’s chest. His sword in his selves from all the previous cycles. All 33,550,335 of them. (+?) "Why not... let wrath... incinerate fate?" - Flame Reaver speaks while urging Phainon to take his coreflames with his staff. (+?)
It is revealed that Amphoreus is just a data simulation - A bottomless well of fury from a part of Nous, an Aeon, being swayed by the destruction. It is a Scepter of Nous, cast aside by it. This is necessary context for what comes later.
Thus, we see the 0th cycle. The black tide, what is destroying the world, it’s just data being wiped away. Phainon and Cyrene stand, watching the destruction. Watching the world decay. They’re all just characters in a program, following the same extrapolations over and over. Every Phainon is just an extrapolation to be fed to the machine, for it to learn, to enhance the black tide. For it to be used on reality. The Scepter is a Lord Ravager, a bearer of Destruction, seeking to perfect the black tide and destroy the universe.
Yet the 0th cycle’s Phainon and Cyrene defy this fate. They will not become fuel for the destruction, they will now allow the black tide to be unleashed. Phainon kills Lygus. (+?)

“If I was born as the blazing sun of Destruction, then let you and your lackeys be the flares erupting from my core! And let this rage, burning futilely for thirty million epochs, engulf everything- And grant you a dawn where all stars burn to ash!” (+?)
Khaslana breaks out of the simulation. After attempting to breach the scepter millions of times, again and again. He finally succeeds. (+?)
Leading to this animated short. His well deserved crashout, after billions upon billions of years.
The beginning shows him running through the cycles, growing, becoming through he is today, the fire raging until he finally escapes the simulation.
“Are you ready? Nanook! I’ve brought you Destruction!” - Countless members of the anti-matter legion pour out, but Phainon’s theme begins playing. In instants he sends hundreds flying with singular attacks, rips them apart easily. Bathes in the blood of his slaughter. (+?)
Then Zephyro appears. The strongest Emanator of Destruction. Light shining down upon him like a divine messenger… yet Khaslana instantly goes to fight. In an instant he transforms, dozens upon dozens of meteors falling down upon the Emanator. Yet he is cut down, his arm sliced in two. He lands upon the bodies of his former comrades, of all the people in Amphoreus.
It does not stop him. He grins and his fire burns ever hotter. (+?) He gets up, raging ever hotter, stabbing through his wing and charging at his enemy with no regard for safety. (+?)
And even with his own sword in his gut, turned upon him, his fire burns hotter and hotter. He completely transcends Zephyro, bypassing his foe entirely, aiming directly at the Aeon of Destruction himself. (+?) His very run incinerates entire galaxies. (+?) And all that rage culminates on a scratch upon Nanook’s cheek. Easily healed.
Yet this is a feat never seen before. Never deemed even possible. For the Astral Express, the main character’s group, who go against Nanook, this is proof in its purest form. Their enemy is fallible. Is defeatable.
Once again, linking back to Kevin, his destiny is to soar to show others the way, and then fall with proof of his heights.
And once again, this is mere data. Mere data reaching out of a simulation by pure fury, and slapping the highest god in the face. (+?)
It is fury without equal. (+?)
Also the song. Just add however many points you want for this song. (+?) Here is the theme that plays throughout most of 3.4. The unreleased version is what plays during his speech, while the first section is throughout the majority of 3.4 (+?)

Whatever this means.So I'll open with Phainon.
Anyway, just to start as pretext.
These are the HSR credits. When I bring up the Flame Reaver, which I will, I am not being stupid.
Anyway this dude throws hands with himself so this is gonna be hard asf to score. Is it really aura loss when you're getting slapped around by yourself?
Please give feedback, I'm sure I've argued something badly at some point given I spent all day going through 6 patches of 8 hours each.

Calls Luke's assumption out instantly by saying he's not hiding, dismisses the entire idea that he'd hide while countering that he was actually getting bored waiting. Brushes off Luke's speech and challenges him, interested in Luke's claims of being an enhanced version of Alucard. Takes a shot through the head, laughs about it, and keeps fighting. Takes multiple shotgun shells to the body and keeps attacking like it doesn't matter, shooting with true aim despite not looking. Gets the gun back into his face and doesn't flinch, chases Luke away with his big pistol. Keeps trading shots without even getting up from his chair, and his big gun busts part of a staircase, terrifying Luke. Keeps taking hits and isn't even trying to dodge the bullets. Slumps with lots of wounds, laughs and continues their conversation like nothing's changed, once again terrifying Luke. His wounds vanish while he talks. Delivers a long incantation heavily emphasizing that he's powering up. Transforms first into a shape with lots of eyes, then into a dog beast. Scares the pants off Luke enough to send him running, and Alucard not only chases but his arm comes out of the dog's mouth still brandishing his gun, and shoots Luke's legs off. Looms over Luke as a shadow, tells Luke to get up, dismissively saying he's "only" lost his legs. Repeatedly urges Luke to transform until Luke's reaction finally tells him that Luke is not as powerful as he had previously claimed. Alucard taunts Luke, belittles him, then the dog head savagely devours him. Alucard absorbs all the shed blood on the floor afterwards.
Alucard stands at the hotel desk in broad daylight, proof of his conquest of the thing that cowers vampires. Has servants bringing in coffins for him, both his and Seras'. The annoying bellboy tries to cause trouble, Alucard calmly dismisses him, with that alone making the bellboy cower, but when he won't drop it Alucard reaches a giant hand over the counter and hypnotizes him. Gives this guy an answer and the guy repeats it and stands there in a daze. Alucard walks away casually and reminds Pip to bring in the luggage, as Pip has stopped to watch Alucard's powers in action.
Alucard lectures Seras, then shows he can understand her. He refuses to use her name until she proves herself, and walks away with her running behind him like a puppy, while Integra watches the interaction remarking how he truly is behaving like a king of vampires, or more accurately, like a count, alluding to his true identity as Count Dracula.

VERSION 3.4 - TRAILERS
Now we’re finally past that, we can look at the trailers. I left this for afterwards because I have no clue how you should score a dude fighting himself! Yes, the credits confirm this.
Trailer 1 - Phainon walking with blood running down his face. Even a statue of his transformed self is visible. The flame reaver appears and the two get straight to throwing hands, Phainon immediately transforming, exaggerating it, aurafarming all the way. (+?)
In the reflection of his sword, Phainon’s eye colour and hair changes. Phainon once again raises his sword upwards towards the Gods. (+?)
Finally, the best trailer in the game.
“They say, if suffering has an end, then I will be the deliverer.” - He will be the one who delivers Amphoreus from its pain and suffering, who keeps hopes of a better future alive. (+?)
Phainon runs through the destruction, the Flame Reaver kills two of his allies in one strike (+?), even Mydei is killed, straight through the back once again. (+?)
Phainon dashes forwards, with easily the best transition in the game. (+?) Pure aura. It transitions between him and the Flame Reaver fighting, and what the Flame Reaver has taken away, blow after blow, clash after clash, perfect transitions with every spin until Phainon is disarmed. (+?)
His blade lands on the ground, his reflection in it clearly subdued. He’s struck down, blood flows down the blade, igniting into pure rage and fury. (+?)
I genuinely cannot describe the following section properly because it's that quick and just features so much aura.
The immediate transition, Phainon turning, staring at the camera slowly, the two Phainon’s clashing against each other, mirroring the Flame Reaver’s ultimate animation (+?) - the music coming to a screaming fever pitch as the two Phainon’s are mirrored back to back. (+?)
Then he rips his chest open and ascends. He’s shown ascending like some godly figure (+?) and then with a grunt of rage he transforms, finally glaring straight into the camera. (+?)
The data of the world itself swirls into and around Phainon and the Flame Reaver swings his sword outwards, stepping forwards to the transformed being with no hesitation at all. (+?) Meteors rain down upon the world, yet the Flame Reaver holds up his sword to them in defiance, even as the world is reduced to ashes. (+?)
“If this is not the end. Then I will keep walking, until I witness the end of this journey. But I will never submit to this idea of fate. Never!” (+?) - Once again, Phainon’s never ending resolve shown perfectly. Even as he has to walk into the next cycle. (+?) Here’s also this trailer’s version of Coronal Radiance. (+?)
Now, back to Nameless Faces. From 3.0. The very start of Amphoreus.
The description of the trailer.
“Hero. Divine. Puppet. Prisoner. Which of these things are you? Who are you?”
“I am but one among a thousand faces defiant against my fate. That which you see… is me.”
This is talking about Phainon. He is but one among a thousand defiant against his fate. He is a prisoner, puppet of the gods, but also a Divine Hero who held and stalled for the sake of Amphoreus. (+?) The chinese version of the song has entirely different lyrics and is about Phainon, but I'm not gonna get into that lol.

VERSION 3.4 - PHAINON’S ATTACKS AND CONCEPT ART
Phainon’s Idle Animation. Just casually aurafarming, floating up and showing his wings. (+?)
Phainon’s Skill Attack - Let There Be Light . He brings the sword up to his face, raising it up - the symbol of Worldbearing glows behind him as he dashes forwards and slices his enemy. (+?)
Phainon’s Ultimate - He Who Bears the World Must Burn. Phainon transforms using the coreflames. During this, he goes into a zone where only he can fight. He will literally bear the burden, alone. (+?) Listen to the SFX too - “An innumerable number of coreflames consumes me!” is the voiceline, both just go hard. (+?)
Just activating this form removes all other characters from your team, making a zone that only he can fight the enemies in. He’s literally a playable boss. (+?)
Phainon’s Basic Attack - Creation: Bloodthorn Ferry. His most basic attack in this form literally rips apart space itself. (+?)
Phainon’s Bounce Attack - Foundation: Stardeath Verdict. is calling down meteors like it’s the apocalypse. Just before doing this, he floats up into the sky, bringing his hand up, looking down upon his enemies, not even facing them fully. (+?) A barrage of meteors, then a larger one decimates the enemies, the sfx too for impact, incredible, tons of aura. (+?)
Phainon’s Enhanced Attack - Calamity: Soulscorch Edict, he raises his sword and points it at the ground, assuming a guard stance. This forces all enemies to attack, he delivers a devastating counter. This counter is the most exaggerated, over the top thing one can do. The enemy just sees a massive blade coming towards them, ripping apart the very earth they stand on. (+?)
Phainon’s Deform - Whenever he runs out of turns in his ultimate this is the animation that plays, it literally shuts off the screen like a CRT. Aura. (+?)

Grows back his arm with his big gun magically in his hand, then his other arm with no discomfort, and has a huge grin on his face the whole time, even though he just got his arms cut off.
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hellsing/images/f/f6/HemokinesisOVA.gif
Shown here laughing while lots of blood swirls around him and gets absorbed. He's eating two armies and a city population here by the way.
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hellsing/images/d/dc/IntangibilityOVA.gif
Steps out of a wall, through a picture frame without moving it at all, with his large red coat and hat framing him as he does, making him look even bigger than he is. Looks like a ghost or other horrific monster looming out of a wall to terrify people.
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hellsing/images/9/99/WeatherManipulationOVA.gif
Moving a busted ship through the water and clearing away a thick fog layer from the whole harbour just to make an entrance. He also took that ship back from the enemy and then brought its wreckage back even though it was dead.
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hellsing/images/9/92/MistBodyOVA.gif
At the base of a huge column of mist which he is rebuilding his body out of. He doesn't just want to regenerate; he wants to make a spectacle of it that can be seen from far away. Seen standing in the middle of the swirl like some kind of photo op. He's even posing as he regenerates.
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hellsing/images/1/18/DarkCompositionOVA.gif
Grows a whole lot of long shadow limbs from his body, has to move them around the moon so it looks like he's holding it, because he's Alucard. Scares the crap out of a whole bunch of vampires who served in the double S, charges forward with his teeth bared, projects the shadow limbs ahead of himself, and those shadow arms start tearing the war criminal vampires apart, quickly start behaving like the blades of a blender and essentially make a bad guy smoothie.

In fact, why even risk it?
VERSION 3.6
Phainon makes a small guest appearance in 3.6 where he helps Dan Heng by clearing the way for him. Phainon of course goes utterly over the top with this. He unleashes a massive beam from the sky. (+?)
VERSION 3.7
When finally confronting Irontomb, Phainon’s countless memories begin to replay. He launches his attack against the scepter alone. (+?) He’s been holding back Irontomb alone, you have to kill him to free Irontomb to fight it. This forces you to fight Khaslana.
He never attacks back. Even as you kill him. He even tells you not to hesitate. He holds back Irontomb alone, and even when it’s time to free it to defeat it, he doesn’t resist out of being scared for his own fate. He bore the whole world on his shoulders. He even encourages his death for the future he wants. (+?)
By the way, this is what he's been holding back for 33550337 cycles. Alone. This is what it does with Khaslana's power.

Standing in a pile of freshly killed enemy soldiers while Seras hides in a cupboard, tells her to prepare without turning around, challenges her once again without turning around, brutally dismisses her statement that the dead are human, then delivers a brutal speech about how they came to attack, how brutal war is, and how no-one can change the inevitability of war, absolutely tearing into Seras for her desire for peace. Seras is exhausted by this, and Alucard reminds us he's not just a jerk. He softens on her because it's her, tries to explain it more gently, then tells her once again that she needs to prepare for battle. Noticeably she responds better to the gentler approach after, and accepts the order This is Alucard showing how harsh he can be and that he's not just a bad guy in one scene.
Bonus for that booming voice. (Note the fact he is huge and has a booming voice is most likely inspired by the late Sir Christopher Lee, who famously played Dracula many times, literally the reason Dracula is iconic. Christopher Lee has so much real-life aura he could claim this tournament himself.
Alucard's new gun being given to him. Right away the gun is huge, but that straight up insulting inscription, "Jesus Christ is in Heaven now" is an insult to Anderson, whose gloves say the words "Jesus Christ is in Heaven". Also a really rude inscription overall when he plans to use it against Anderson, a Vatican priest. Gun is uniquely modified to be far stronger than his original pistol, which was already insanely powerful. Walter describes how the gun is 39cm long (15.35433 inches, more than a foot long), weighs 16 kilograms (35.27396195 pounds), the previous gun was also very heavy, and it only weighed 4 kilograms. A Mossberg 500 shotgun weighs 7.5 pounds, less than 3.5 kilograms. That's right, Alucard's first gun is heavier than a Mossberg 500 shotgun, and this new gun is four times (4X) heavier. An elephant gun weighs up to 11 kilograms and is basically a large rifle designed with overkill in mind. In fact that weight is considered to make them unusable in battle, and remember, a rifle is held in both hands, braced against the shoulder, and can even be rested on the ground. A handgun is held in one hand with no support of any kind. Alucard's pistol is 1.45 times the weight of the heavier elephant guns, and he uses it easily. Directly described as impossible for a human to handle. Both guns fire 13mm shells, already a fairly large caliber. Fires explosive shells, casings of pure Macedonian silver, with mercury tips obviously designed to poison the enemy. Has Seras checking out the gun with intense enthusiasm.
Has turned into a mass of shadow and darkness that towers over the assembled armies. Fires out Tubalcain's cards to tear several enemies apart. Tubalcain is an enemy he ate earlier in the story. This is followed by Van Winkle's target seeking bullet which tears into the other army. Van Winkle is another enemy he ate earlier. Then revels he has both of them inside him as familiars, two more in his stockpile of captured souls. And of course, he had to open by flaunting the Millennium members he'd already eaten just to taunt the battalion (they very much deserve it though). The armies are already faltering just from this opening move, but he's not done. The tower of shadow and blood bears down on them like a tidal wave, crushing them. The shadow spreads further, with more and more eyes appearing, and it quickly expands up buildings and through the streets. It quickly becomes a living river of blood, later described as the river of death. Ghouls start to come out of it, and before long a bombardment of stolen souls from his wars as a human are being propelled through the streets. These are largely undead, glowing eyed versions of soldiers from the Ottoman Empire, being deployed to battle centuries later, to kill WWII villains no less. Ottoman soldiers vs double S war criminals, all undead. Talk about metal. The enemy armies are dumbstruck by the sight of it. These are vampires who fought in moustache guy's personal evil squad when they were human, and they seem to be soiling their armour. Maxwell, the guy in the glass box who just launched an attack on civilians and betrayed the pope who ordered him to help against Millennium, reacts like a child who just realized he's lost, and he can't believe something like this can exist. Integra explains to Seras how this is the true form of Alucard, his true power, and why he's the ultimate vampire. Anderson, an elite exorcist who turns squads of vampires into mulch, recognizes the undead, and wonders aloud how he can possibly kill such a being. At that moment, Alucard's own cavalry rom when he was Vlad Tepes, the Wallachian knights, emerge from the mass. They appear to be vampires rather than ghouls. They even raise the banners and advance as they did when alive. Maxwell recognizes them and can't believe Alucard even consumed his own dead soldiers. He monologues about how Alucard is a fiend, a monster, a devil, and finally names him as Dracula, all as Alucard himself finally reappears, forming out of shadows in his old armour, looking like he did when he was alive. His billowing cloak can be seen forming from the shadows with him to truly frame the shot. Alucard looks like a true overlord here, with his billowy cloak, the shadows growing off his cloak, his dark metal armour, his big sword. He flourishes dramatically, moving like a man giving an epic speech, then casually summons a mass of monsters behind him that take form out of the blood and darkness. He stands at the front of this army looking like a demonic warlord.
This group of mercenaries just got back from a civil war in the Middle East. Their commander, a survivor of multiple such wars who literally fights because he likes it, is smacked around like a ragdoll by Seras flicking him with her finger. He's just become scared of Seras, who he was previously laughing at, when Alucard's booming voice fills the room, and he steps out of the wall to say his piece. He dismisses the mercenaries as sniveling cowards, dismisses Seras who just flattened the commander as "the lowest of the low", and proceeds to suggest these mercenaries are useless. Walter comes running out right after and apologizes, says he tried to stop Alucard from doing this. Walter is a superhuman master vampire hunter in his own right, by the way. He still couldn't stop Alucard from doing this.
Anderson dives down from above, roaring like a monster. He has a swirl of glowing Bible pages around him as he attacks. Anderson bears down from above in the light while Alucard rears up from below, in the dark, with shadow billowing off him still. The two of them lock blades, and Alucard shoves Anderson away. Far from being perturbed, Alucard congratulates Anderson, addressing him as his nemesis. The Major applauds, as he wants, even needs, this clash to happen. Anderson charges with an aura of written script appearing around him, and Alucard locks blades with him again. Anderson is pushed back, and several of his Bible pages are shown destroyed. Alucard is still calm, and congratulates Anderson on his prowess once again. Shot lingers on Alucard from a low angle looking up at him, a classic symbol of power. He talks about how he wants more rom Anderson, and encourages Anderson to try to take him down, specifically telling to pierce his heart, a weak point Alucard technically still has. Alucard muses about his recurring nemeses, even addressing Anderson as if all his nemeses were somehow all the same man. More elaborate sword clashes. Anderson jumps up and delivers a downward strike which Alucard blocks, spins and delivers another, which Alucard blocks. Anderson is pushed back and then charges forward to deliver a thrust, which Alucard avoids. Alucard jumps and delivers his own downward strike, the sword crashing loudly on the concrete. Anderson jumps back and starts to throw his bayonets, prompting Alucard to change back to his red coat form, bring out his guns and shoot the bayonets. Alucard describes the Jackal, his new gun, and why it's so dangerous. Prominently presents the gun to Anderson, even making a point of showing him the insulting inscription. Anderson is shown to be bulletproof against the Casull, which was already a powerful gun as described above. The Jackal blasts holes in Anderson, destroying his arm in one shot. Anderson keeps slashing with his other arm, but only hits ghouls. Alucard leaps back and puts his army between them standing at the back once again looking like an overlord. Tubalcain and Van Winkle's attacks hammer the point further home by further battering Anderson. Alucard once again challenges Anderson to come or him. Bonus for the whole fight happening while surrounded by impaled villains. Also, it's notable that Alucard was preparing to have a simple melee with Anderson at first. It was Anderson throwing projectiles that prompted a tonal shift in Alucard; he changed form and switched to his guns and using his army, and his mood changed from that of a warrior challenging a fellow warrior respectfully to that of a monster tearing into his enemy. Notice he wasn't smirking or being cruel until he changed forms. This tonal shit happened because Anderson broke the rules Alucard had been following up until that point, the rules of a blade-on-blade battle, a duel with swords between two warriors. Once Anderson used projectiles, Alucard did the same, and threw in his army for good measure. Anderson broke Alucard's rules of the duel, so Alucard abandoned them.

Still not risking dropping out early, though that 3.4 post is still uncounted.
Themes
Kevin’s main theme: (+?).
Kevin’s 3 boss themes:
1 (+?) - Fighting Kevin’s Chimera. He merely calls this a test when you defeat it. Still aura cause it’s theme is good.
2 (+?) - Fighting Deliverance Kevin. The boss theme is incredible, what gives it even more aura is the low hp noise is in his boss theme. (0:52) (+?)
3 (+?) - The conclusion to the fight.
After the conclusion of the boss fight we get this theme for Kevin, showcasing how he’s finally finished his lonely journey to defeat Honkai (+?).
This theme was later brought into Honkai: Star Rail, cross games, to pay respect to Kevin Kaslana when Welt talks about him.
Previous Era
Kevin Kaslana starts off as an ordinary human, the same as any other. The Honkai represents a massive threat in the world of Hi3. Here's him facing a beast down with nothing but a baseball bat. These beasts can't be defeated by SHOTS FROM A TANK. (+?) Also look at that pose, facing up against a larger enemy, back to the camera, baseball bat in hand. Utterly unintimidated. Aura. (+?)
He even starts a trend of his bloodline wiping out these beasts with nothing but a baseball bat. This is how potent his aura is, he passed it down across 50,000 years. Aura (+?).
Continuing with a huge leap in magnitude, Herrschers are hugely feared apocalyptic threats from the Honkai that have powers connected to a broad concept. They can bend physical laws on a whim to wreak destruction on humanity.
This is him defeating the Herrscher of Death. This is an enemy that controls the concept of death itself, more specifically massively accelerates cell death, turning people into literal dust. This ability can even be applied with wide areas of effect, making vapours of death that can spread city-wide. Kevin has no special powers at this point but his aura is so powerful he has no need to care. (+?) What makes this worse is the fact he has the Herrscher kneeling. Kevin forces the Herrscher into aura loss while being an opponent he has no right beating, this is even more aura for him. (+?).
Kevin Kaslana becoming a MANTIS. He survived this process against all odds, he even had it done to him multiple times, surviving each time (+?). This left him with a literal sub-zero body temperature. Nobody can touch him safely, that’s the textbook definition of aura. Kevin’s aura is the most potent, most physical and most actualised expression of aura seen in this tournament, capable of making his body temperature absolute zero when suppressed to freezing hundreds of kilometers of area around him. (+?).
With this power of Ice he singlehandedly defeats (+?) the Herrscher of Flame who annihilated all of Australia. Her Herrscher Core is later crafted into the Judgement of Shamash, the weapon Kevin and his bloodline wields. Shamash is regarded as the most destructive divine key, so powerful the core had to be split in half. No other divine key required this. Also, look how cool it is. You join the two swords together to make a greatsword. That’s aura as hell. (+?)
Kevin is the only one capable of surviving the Judgement of Shamash thanks to his cold body and aura from becoming a MANTIS. (+?)
Kevin’s bloodline has an oath centered around dying from the Judgement of Shamash, presumably from seeing their sire, Kevin, using the weapon. (+?)
More info: 23 Kaslanas have died over the past 1500 years from wielding this weapon. Kevin is the only one who survived the true power of Shamash until he awakened Siegfried’s (one of his descendant’s) dormant genes. He does this himself (+?).
The 9th Herrscher, the Herrscher of Stars. A single black hole, yes, this Herrscher wields gravity and black holes, massive forces of nature. It caused the disappearance of a continent: Mu. Doesn’t matter. Kevin single-handedly defeated this Herrscher. (+?). Keep note of the 11th Herrscher too, this is the Herrscher below.
The Tragedy of Binding. 90% of their forces wiped out by a single Herrscher. 70% of Humanity gone. The 11th Herrscher, 'Binding', capable of neutralising Honkai, kinetic energy and the bio-electricity that powers your brain in a field around itself. This is another enemy Kevin should have no business defeating since it literally turns off your brain, killing you… yet here's an account of its defeat at the hands of Kevin Kaslana. His defeat of the Herrscher is even called single-handed. (+?).
‘By the time the reinforcements arrived, the 11th Herrscher had already been strung up on an inscrutable crucifix, never to make another sound. Even the strongest-willed among the warriors shed tears — they believed that this was the end for them — that this would be the end of them all — warriors and former friends alike. But victory came ever so suddenly... and ever so incomprehensibly.
There was ice, crimson ice everywhere. Although the battle had ended some time ago, the chill that surrounded that man still wrapped the entire battlefield. All the blood that had been spilled upon the land was frozen in mid-air, trapped like a frozen dark-red tableau of sea-spray. A violet glow slowly extinguished amidst it all.’
Nobody else could even come close to killing the Herrscher and when he does it, he makes a visual display of it, blood spilled and frozen in the air. (+?) After this, he slowly extinguishes his blade afterwards, just to farm more aura. (+?)
The final fight. The Herrscher of The End. The predestined end, calculated by a super AI. There is truly, truly nothing that could’ve won this fight.
Here is him facing down the Herrscher of The End REGARDLESS OF THE ODDS, the strongest enemy and final Herrscher of his era. This Herrscher has power over TIME ITSELF. Look at the aura she’s presented with. (+?)
This enemy killed 2 MANTIS within 5 minutes, unable to deal any damage to the Herrscher. Even the ultimate Honkai conversion weapon, turning Honkai Energy into heat, was unable to damage the herrscher. It only drained 2% of her energy, yet in the Current Era in its damaged form, it completely wiped out the 2nd Herrschers Honkai reserves (had 3 Herrscher cores at the time) and forced her to retreat. The Herrscher of The End overpowered the remaining 6 afterwards. Firing the weapon at 200% achieved more, yet it could not put down the Herrscher. The Herrscher lost another 30% of its energy.
Kevin was the only one able to deal ANY damage. (+?) This halted the Herrscher for half a day (+?), giving Humanity 12 more hours to live. These 12 hours are the only reason the Current Era of Honkai Impact exists. Without this, without Kevin, they wouldn’t have been able to get to the Cryopods and irreversibly change the next cycle the Cocoon would bring about. (+?) This undeniably shifted the encounter from what would be a total loss… to a victory. Honkai did not wipe out Humanity, the fight merely continued.
When they ‘lost’, Kevin went into cryosleep to bring hope to a new era. Once again, see the pose, see the narrator glaze. (+?).
Themes
Kevin’s main theme: (+?).
Kevin’s 3 boss themes:
1 (+?) - Fighting Kevin’s Chimera. He merely calls this a test when you defeat it. Still aura cause it’s theme is good.
2 (+?) - Fighting Deliverance Kevin. The boss theme is incredible, what gives it even more aura is the low hp noise is in his boss theme. (0:52) (+?)
3 (+?) - The conclusion to the fight.
After the conclusion of the boss fight we get this theme for Kevin, showcasing how he’s finally finished his lonely journey to defeat Honkai (+?).
This theme was later brought into Honkai: Star Rail, cross games, to pay respect to Kevin Kaslana when Welt talks about him.

Alucard's Bird of Hermes is a deep reference to alchemy and the phoenix, the symbol of immortality. It is deeply intertwined with his identity. In truth he is the phoenix rising from the ashes. His red, black and white forms reference this too.
Alucard's backstory. He was a victim as a child, but refused to break under extreme pressure. As an adult, he is a brutal leader, and has become a true monster, delivers a savage battle speech that essentially condemns all of existence and simplifies the entire world to nothing but violence and death. It's easy to see how that victimized little boy became this violent man. Alucard in the present tears into his past self for his violence, condemning only himself. Yes, he did this two decades before Kratos did it. This speech shows how Alucard has grown past this worst part of his life. The scene shows human Alucard being executed, but ironically he still hasn't given up. This scene shows a brief flash to WWII (he's not at the execution, see the ground; the Major is standing on paved ground whereas the whole field is mud except for some wooden boards) where the Major recognizes Alucard and accuses him of being the true monster here. Alucard drinks the blood from the executioner's block, and at that moment he is executed and becomes the first vampire.
Greets Seras. She is nervous around him in his new form, nervously points out this form has a moustache, and is surprised when his huge hand reaches over and pats her gently. He expresses his affection for his servant, affection he always hid up until now. Classic tsundere, except this one's also Dracula.
Integra dismisses decapitation as nothing to Alucard, just as he returns. He enters as a swarm of bats, fills the hallway, and finally reforms out of the bats and shadows, to challenge Anderson again. Integra glazes him as the ultimate vampire, how he is the result of all the best vampiric research and magic. Has to deliver that loud boisterous laugh as he returns, a true vampire ruler. Presents his huge pistol, charges at Anderson. Gets his arms slashed off in the clash, but casually grows them back, somehow picking up the gun without bending down to pick it up off the floor. Smirks condescendingly at Anderson to further drive home his ability to survive anything Anderson throws at him. Anderson, a man known as the ultimate exorcist, the Vatican's deadliest agent, admits he can't kill Alucard and retreats.
Treats Alhambra dismissively, recognizes him as a minion of the Major despite him appearing nothing like one of the Major's battalion, doesn't flinch when surrounded by the cards, or even when hit with one, a strike that smashes the stairs. Alucard says he's going to wipe out Millennium, dropping a hint about the Major by saying that he's decimated the battalion before. Dodges a barrage of cards, hops down, then avoids another card which destroys a crowd. Dodges more attacks while Tubalcain carelessly wipes out the crowd. Alucard fires back, without much regard for the fact he hits two other SWAT members when Tubalcain dodges. Those soldiers were on Tubalcain's side after all. Runs up the building to take the fight to the roof. Makes a point of smirking at Tualcain to taunt him. Tubalcain makes the mistake of seeing a retreat rather than a relocation, and his ego falls for Alucard's taunt, seeing it as false bravado. Alucard is playing Tubalcain and manipulating him into making mistakes, and Tubalcain doesn't even know it. This is interesting, given Tubalcain is a card shark, being utterly played by Alucard in a battle Tubalcain set up.

Second Key
Second Key Manga: Chapter 13, The Yoke of Sin. In the Present Era, Su, Kevin's comrade in arms, confronts Kevin Kaslana over Project Stigma. The worst project for humanity. It will defeat the Honkai at the cost of the human race itself. Kevin sees the defeat of the Honkai as a dire matter, willing to bear any burden to succeed.
Despite this, he respects his comrade enough to give him a chance to defeat him. To stop Project Stigma. ‘And that’s why you created this trap. An elaborate plan of deception to stop me… to stop project stigma. So I agreed to come and see it for myself. I’m giving you a chance to stop me with everything you got. (+?) When you fail, you will realise that you can’t change anything.’ - He’s so confident in his own power that he’s willing to give his comrade a chance to stop him AND is confident his comrade WILL fail regardless, Kevin’s confidence only gives him more aura. (+?)
Kevin’s enemy at this moment is Su, in his training as a psychic Mantis, Su was able to resist the previous era Herrscher of Sentience and make way for Kevin to defeat it.
Su is incredibly powerful, able to monitor countless worlds for thousands of years to search for a way to defeat the Honkai.
A weakened Su was also able to beat Durandal in a one on one rather easily and put her into a psychic technique, completely knocking her out. That sets the stage for how powerful this opponent is, and how far above Kevin stands.
Notice the exaggerated way he calls the Judgement of Shamash down, arm outstretched, how it crashes through the bubble world and lands in the ground. He then grabs the blade that fell from the sky to raise it up and point it at Su. Deliberate exaggeration for more aura. (+?)
He further declares: ‘as for the sins of killing those who are doomed to die… I alone shall bear such a yoke upon my shoulders…’ - Kevin Kaslana will bear any burden alone, no help required. More aura. (+?) - He says this while raising his blade to Su for an intimidation factor and aura. (+?) Even the speech on why he agreed to enter the Seed of Sumeru, Kevin explaining he knows Su tried to trap him is aura. (+?).
Even Su admits he’s completely outmatched and that he can only try his best. Kevin is utterly unbothered by Su’s declaration that he’ll stop Kevin. (+?) Su starts out the fight with a black hole from the twin Star of Edens, both are Divine Keys, crafted by Herrscher Cores, just like Kevin’s own weapon. You’d think this black hole made by a divine key would be a threat to Kevin, yet Kevin immediately cuts straight through it (+?) with ease and a neutral expression, showing how he’s not even exerting himself. (+?) Su’s weapon immediately breaks from this. It cannot handle Kevin’s casual attack.
Su attacks with White Abyss White Flower immediately after, the attack lands though its ability to disintegrate whatever it touches fails to work on Kevin.
He immediately heals the damage and breaks yet another Divine Key casually with one hand. (+?) - Following this, Kevin swings his sword and Su summons a barrier to block it.
The attack, through the barrier, completely one-shots Su. His ally and fellow Mantis, Honkai augmented humans with their own abilities, defeated in one swing, ‘so quickly’ as Su puts it. Su even admits he’s no match. Despite being so similar to Kevin, wielding similar weapons, he is incomparably weaker. (+?)
After defeating Su, he shows his resolve and the extent he’s willing to go to for Project Stigma to succeed. ‘But it is the only way. You can’t convince me otherwise. And I will continue this project even if my hands are drowned in blood. This grave sin… shall be mine alone.’ (+?)
He doesn’t even face Su, he stands side-on to him and tilts his head in Su’s general direction, once again proof this man is constantly posing and aurafarming. (+?) Once again, Kevin Kaslana is willing to bear the whole sin of enacting Project Stigma, further proof of his aura, that he can bear any burden alone.
When Su tries his last ditch attempt to stop Kevin, he immediately goes to aurafarming. He corrects Su, says how he’ll defeat his plan, then activates the Zeroth power of Judgement of Shamash, the camera once again only showing his back. (+?)
And when faced with Su’s dilemma Kevin merely shrugs it off. That he’s ‘found the answer 5000 years ago. Humanity must defeat the Honkai, no matter the cost.’ (+?) Kevin Kaslana knows what he has to do. Nothing will dissuade him.
CE Before + After SoQ
The desire to worship ‘Serpent Cults’ is baked into the ‘fiber of our being, passing through generations’ - Worshipping and revering Kevin Kaslana is literally baked into the current era’s genetics. This is what the entire World Serpent manga is centered around. This gives him immense aura. (+?)
This is what happens when Kevin Kaslana emerges from the Sea of Quanta. Kevin’s return alone sets all of this into action.

5 - (+?)
His very return is described as a ‘moment of truth where the histories, myths and legends of humanity are reconciled as one’. - Once again, narrator glaze. Another point. (+?)
After escaping from being sealed he continues his organisation, the World Serpent, dedicated to Project Stigma. This is how the serpent signals his return. He merely lifts up his blade and farms more aura. (+?)
His blade's history doesn't stop here: It's a powerful symbol within the Current Era. Myths have been written about his blade - ‘Divine judgement that obliterated the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah’ - ‘’ Hi3’s Current Era Earth takes heavy inspiration from reality, like how Kevin is Merlin in King Arthur’s Mythology. Here Kevin, in destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, would be written to be in the place of God himself, and also taking the place of several angels guarding the Garden of Eden. The holy scriptures in Hi3 are based on Kevin’s actions. This is how much people idolise Kevin. GOD and Angels themselves are merely depictions of him. That’s how much aura Kevin Kaslana has. (+?) (One for each myth minimum.)
Finally, his arrival is signaled as ‘the coming of the great storm’ - More Kevin glaze from his followers. This holds true, he irreversibly altered the path of the Current Era, even subjugating the Earth itself with the Spiritual Adam. Throughout most of this, he doesn’t even need to fight, his mere presence and arrival is enough. (+?)
Kevin Kaslana is also the one who gave rise to the myth of King Arthur, Kevin is depicted to be Merlin. More myths existing because of Kevin, more aura. (+?)
And yes, Kevin, we see the fit. Stanced up in his cloak, once again back to the camera, constantly aurafarming. (+?)
Second Eruption
This - First of all, Kevin Kaslana randomly appears from Siegfried’s point of view, this is a recorded replay of the past, and he suddenly grabs and directly speaks to his progeny. Aura. (+?)
Secondly, in this replay he casually speedblitzes Siegfried, someone comparable to an S-rank Valkyrie, and stabs him in the chest. (+?)
Third, this action alone awakens Siegfried’s dormant genes and empowers him, across 50,000 years, time doesn’t matter. It’s not a barrier to Kevin, literally awakening his progeny’s power by stabbing him in the chest in a recording. (+?) These genes are passed down from Kevin Kaslana, his MANTIS genes. These, passed down across 50,000 years, are still enough to make Siegfried ‘more than human’ and cause ‘Herrschers to be no match against him’ - Kevin’s genes endlessly persist, just like he does. Genuine aura.
It's even uttered that 'Kaslanas die and never yield' - He passes his aura down through his bloodline, with myths, and the Kaslana oath. This oath is just genuine fire. ‘Your sires sleep in the fields as Humanity’s brave shields.’ Just give the whole oath a point. (+?).
'By the judgement of Shamash, Kaslanas die and never yield' this line is so raw it should be counted seperately. (+?)
London Holiday
Obligatory aurafarm for a point. (+?)
This 1% chibi robot of the goat proceeds to stalemate one of the top tiers of the verse (when the manga came out) - This is Durandal, at this point she houses an entire continent-sized bubble world inside of her - This 1% copy of Kevin debatably lost because it ran out of battery. (+?) - See the fit too, this is just a robot made by Kevin in his likeness, yet Kevin makes sure the robot is dripped out. He’d never let his likeness be caught without style. (+?)
Chapter 9 EX
When Kevin was first introduced he was literally represented as a Serpent. He was introduced like this to both Welt and Seele, Seele later recognises this to be Kevin. Being introduced as the literal World Serpent, a mythological figure, is full of aura. At this point we did not know how his character looked, this was how he was introduced to the players. As the World Serpent, with a message to Welt that he would return to the Real World. He gave the same promise to Seele too. (+?) Kevin also declares that he will ‘Judge and deliver Welt’ - Welt is so scared of Kevin he immediately uses the Star of Eden and its 0th power, bringing both himself and Kevin into the Sea of Quanta. This is the same Welt that fought Sirin and a higher dimensional Ryusuke. (+?)

These, passed down across 50,000 years, are still enough to make Siegfried ‘more than human’ and cause ‘Herrschers to be no match against him’ - Kevin’s genes endlessly persist, just like he does. Genuine aura.
It's even uttered that 'Kaslanas die and never yield' - He passes his aura down through his bloodline, with myths, and the Kaslana oath. This oath is just genuine fire. ‘Your sires sleep in the fields as Humanity’s brave shields.’ Just give the whole oath a point. (+?).
'By the judgement of Shamash, Kaslanas die and never yield' this line is so raw it should be counted seperately. (+?)
London Holiday
Obligatory aurafarm for a point. (+?)
This 1% chibi robot of the goat proceeds to stalemate one of the top tiers of the verse (when the manga came out) - This is Durandal, at this point she houses an entire continent-sized bubble world inside of her - This 1% copy of Kevin debatably lost because it ran out of battery. (+?) - See the fit too, this is just a robot made by Kevin in his likeness, yet Kevin makes sure the robot is dripped out. He’d never let his likeness be caught without style. (+?)
Chapter 9 EX
When Kevin was first introduced he was literally represented as a Serpent. He was introduced like this to both Welt and Seele, Seele later recognises this to be Kevin. Being introduced as the literal World Serpent, a mythological figure, is full of aura. At this point we did not know how his character looked, this was how he was introduced to the players. As the World Serpent, with a message to Welt that he would return to the Real World. He gave the same promise to Seele too. (+?) Kevin also declares that he will ‘Judge and deliver Welt’ - Welt is so scared of Kevin he immediately uses the Star of Eden and its 0th power, bringing both himself and Kevin into the Sea of Quanta. This is the same Welt that fought Sirin and a higher dimensional Ryusuke. (+?)
