When Baelz Hakos of hololive made a promotional video for a conference look in Hong Kong earlier this 12 months, she gave an abbreviated model of her customary self-introduction. Naturally, it was subtitled in Cantonese, and the phrase used for “chaos” was wandeon—or hundun in Mandarin Chinese language.
English: I’m Chaos, the Finish of Ends.
Cantonese: 我喺混沌、萬物終結。
Cantonese Jyutping: Ngo hai Wandeon, Maan Mat Zung Git.
Literal translation: I’m Chaos/Hundun, the Termination of All Creation
Hundun (混沌) refers to primordial chaos, nevertheless it may also be the identify of a legendary creature from Chinese language mythology that existed earlier than the universe was created. It’s usually depicted as a faceless beast with many wings and ft. By the way, I turned conscious of it myself by means of the anime Lazarus, the place it’s a plot level for a sure character.
The Hundun from Lazarus
Bae is Cantonese, and the truth that her authentic lore additionally describes her as Chaos itself makes the similarities between Bae and the Hundun extra placing—each are “chaos” as idea in addition to being. So I received to considering: What if within the lore of hololive, Baelz Hakos is the Hundun beneath a unique guise?
The backstories of Bae and her fellow members of hololive EN Promise up to date a pair years in the past to be easier. All of them are primarily about how these representatives of primal forces (chaos, time, hope, and many others.) have built-in extra completely into the human world, with Bae specifically specializing in her want to carry out on new and completely different levels.
Enjoying off this, I may see some type of written piece about how Baelz Hakos is what the Hundun turned out of a want to work together extra straight with the mortal realm. Dance (Bae’s specialty) can also be a artistic artwork that feels each managed and chaotic, and maybe her a number of wings and ft may manifest by means of her wonderful dance strikes.
This has simply been some random fanfic-tier hypothesis on my half. I’m wanting ahead to the Promise 2nd 12 months 3D live performance in a number of hours:
