One thing I've come to like about the Sui siblings is their link to aspects of Yan-nese / Chinese culture. Sui's name (歳) can mean 'year,' and all the siblings so far seem to have birthdays on Month-day doubles, many of which are also Festival days (Nian's on 9/9 is Chongyang / Double Ninth Festival, Chongyue has 1/1 New Year's). That's on top of the sibling's passions possibly being linked to the 'traditional arts' - martial arts, wine-making, smithing, & painting thus far.
@@asheqabeer1798 Good point. I believe I got the 'wine-making' association from when I skimmed through the wiki. Apparently the siblings are associated with rades in Tiangong Kaiwu. It does make more sense to just connect them with some of the more traditional arts - though poetry and drinking definitely have an association of their own.
@@dannybin663 the Chinese equivalent of Chess is called Go and it's made clear that the 2nd brother (the one who is evil) is the one who specializes in it
@@JustOneMoreChildActually, a lot of, and I mean a lot, of famous poetry in China is often written by people who were drunk, all the way from simply admiring nature atop a pavilion to writing about the current corruption of the system. It is basically harder to find poetry that's popular in Chinese that wasn't written by a person that was drunk. One of the most popular phrases in Chinese poetry is of a guy reminiscing of his brother, who he was separated by, and thus drinks with the moon, asking the moon why it is so round. That's also the reason behind the portrayal of Ling always seemingly being drunk while writing poetry, not because it is a quirk of hers, but because there's such a large amount of great poetry which was written while drunk, that it basically becomes synonymous with writing a great piece of Chinese poetry.
Them being immuned to rock cancer really adds to the complexity of their existence. In Chongyue's files, it's displayed that he has 0.01u/L of originium blood - crystal density in his body while the others siblings have 0.00u/L. So what i'm wondering is can he become infected now that he's "a human".
Each sibling embraces a "concept", has a specialty, and non-originium art relating to both. For example, Shuo, or Chongyue, represents the concept of individual, his art is unkown because he sealed it away to truly live as a "human". His specialty is martial art.
At first, I thought you were going to talk about some deep stuffs about the Sui, but after watching the segment before you talk about the siblings, it made me realize that this front of the AK story (background of Sui to be more specific) still don't have much to talk about. After all, the short background of Sui is complimented by the event stories where these siblings were introduced. RIP (?) Jie. Also, sad that this video had a long production time, cause Where Vernal Winds Will Never Blow had such a short yet interesting role in this giant Go game with the Second Brother.
Yo word smith looking forward to this vid I got into you through LOR and watched and enjoyed your arch vids in lead up to this looking forward to it along with the LOR p3 and remember to take ur time.
Added small note: Romanization of Chinese is weird. I don't know why either 岁 or 歳 ended up being written as 'Sui' in latin letters, but it turns out the pronunciation is "Sway". I used to mispronounce my own grandma's name when little because the romanization of her name had a similar problem.
Holy shit I got the smile guy to break character, based. Also yes, I tried to not include Kevin in my video but a large oiled up man broke into my house, screamed about orangutans and I was so convinced by his passion about the subject I added him in
Btw are you ever going to do a summary on Lingering Echoes? It's one of the best event in Arknights and I'm pretty sure you know that, but it would be cool to see you talk about it.
I hope you make more about arknights lore explain style video, and not really bother about the views too much. i hope your channel turn into something that people know. I really like your video style keep the grind up :)
Oh you only put Feranmut,collapsal(demon),and seaborn You forgot to put feraeri aka beast lord Considering they can shape a whole nation idea/core like feranmut do and more active on interacting with normal human
@@Word46witch king is more like sarkaz lord tbh in a sense that it strong af but is not like feranmut or feraeri where you need special condition to kill it
Am i the only one who think the choice of using the word "feranmut" for the English translation sound stupid? Or is there some history behind the word i don't know about
OH MY GOD WHO CARES ABOUT ARKNIGHTS??? If you can make a quality video now, then why not make it LoR????? Sorry for being apathetic, but I don't understand why this video couldn't be a LoR video.
Apathetic is more "oh I don't care." You're currently screaming. The reason is I want to give my all for the LoR video, but because I'm so busy I can't give that 110% effort that video deserves. If that's too terribly much for you, door's right there.

Ling's "Traditional Arts" isnt wine making but poetry. The siblings do have a youngest brother whose specalization is in cooking

Can’t wait for the chess sibling

I'd imagine it's something like the Abyssal Hunters now where infecting them with funny rock is possible, but EXTREMELY difficult
Would that mean that like their bodies aren’t immune but their powers override it? Since he put his in his tail sword?

Hooray more AK lore
i kind of want to see each sibling in an fixer association uniform
Where are you man??? Shu is here now 😢

I mean, these videos have never really been about going deep into a topic. It's kind of impossible to do so in a brief summary.
@@Word46 I'm sorry for not reading the title of the video. I was just enthusiastic about learning more and checking my knowledge about its story.
Never played AK, never watched or seen anything about it, so this is going to be my first interaction with it
I'm hyped tbh
If you need a quick look into the setting, I've got two other videos about it!
@@Word46 huh, might as well check those too, thanks for the recommendation cheif
I'm very happy about how this turned out. Thank you for the video Word
I could cry from happiness
10:12 is just perfect.
Yo word smith looking forward to this vid I got into you through LOR and watched and enjoyed your arch vids in lead up to this looking forward to it along with the LOR p3 and remember to take ur time.
I was not ready for the Love Town jumpscare at 11:08
that said, cool video - keep up the good work.
I LOVE DRAGONS

1:12 HOLY SHTE KIVEN FOR HUTER THR PARENTING BY BRUVA ALFABUSA!? And Cool Lore
Holy shit I got the smile guy to break character, based.

@@Word46 HA! And Hope U Good to

Project mooniverse and arknights crossover would go hard ngl
i really hope you one day make a video about the abyssal hunter, aegir, and the seaborn in the events of undertides and stultifernavis
Neat!
Oh you only put
Feranmut,collapsal(demon),and seaborn
You forgot to put feraeri aka beast lord
Considering they can shape a whole nation idea/core like feranmut do and more active on interacting with normal human
You could also probably throw other stuff like the Witch King in there, but honestly we've only got so much space to work with.

This is interesting.
the fifth Dragon has been released
It's really sad how Chong is the only one that I was able to get
It's all good gamer, they'll be back in the Gacha eventually
You can very easily counter nian's arts problem with enough medics as long as she doesn't get one hit
Finally I know what is happening
Now why is there a feranmut hidden in the middle of nowhere ? (rim bilton event)
=- D
Am i the only one who think the choice of using the word "feranmut" for the English translation sound stupid? Or is there some history behind the word i don't know about
Also who is real >>>>
Apparently it's a combination of Fera in Latin meaning beast and Bahamut. but no confirmation
Poggers
Library of ruina part 3 when?
Later
