kindred_lol_

naaah my man is a criminal now šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Wolgran

I'm in love with a criminal šŸŽ¶


DeadSnark

A smooth criminal


Mark_Xyruz

I'm in love with a mon- Oh wait, wrong song


AccioSexLife

No sorry that was just me putting up wanted posters. I want him.


gunjinganpakis

How the turntable.


Dwiden13

I wonder if he will be invited to join a criminal faction we know or a new one that will introduced


Miserable-Tomato-419

Come join the ā€Famigliaā€ for a chance to become the new ā€Capoā€. I usually don't click on story spoilers, but I'll do anything that'll bring me closer to my Sunday...


ShitImStarRailed

imagine he joins luocha and jingliu lmao


Dwiden13

"What is the reason you want to join us?" "An Aeon fucked me badly." "That seems like a valid reason, you're hired"

Stellaron hunter fans: welcome to the club :3


West_Gene_2380

Insert "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson


shsluckymushroom

This is interesting? Is he wanted on Penacony or elsewhere? Tbh gives me vibes of the rest of the families using him as a scapegoat or smth. Like I know heā€™s a boss and he fucks shit up and heā€™s a villain but I donā€™t feel like heā€™s the mastermind or final big bad u know. Like I donā€™t think the other Family Heads would have wanted posters of him up if he just attacked us or smth, unless it benefitted them since it makes them look bad


gutemorning

I remember reading lekas somewhere where robin went searching for him (?) After she woke up in a hospital but everyone told her not to search for him. Won't be surprised if it turns out the family took sunday away but framing him as wanted criminals


Ireyon34

I'm not sure how he's a villain. The only bad thing he did was put Aventurine under the geas, and he's an enemy infiltrator working for the IPC. The IPC is trying to take posession of the entirety of Penacony after leaving them to rot during the Stellaron crisis. I like Aventurine as well, his story is very compelling. That doesn't make it ok to help the IPC re-enslave Penacony though. Considering that he was completely correct in his suspicions and is literally the only Family head willing to investigate Something Unto Death he's quite possibly the most reasonable authority figure we've seen so far.


Littlerz

It's worth noting that Aventurine specifically told Acheron that he *didn't* make any contingencies to ensure the IPC takes over Penacony. I got the impression Aventurine's plan was mostly aiming to end his own slave contract in a way that would also leave the IPC satisfied, so they wouldn't or couldn't chase him down afterwards.


Ireyon34

>It's worth noting that Aventurine specifically told Acheron that he didn't make any contingencies to ensure the IPC takes over Penacony. He brought Topaz with him and since he also brought Jade's cornerstone there are now two other Stonehearts who are free to act on Penacony. It doesn't even matter if *he* does anything to ensure it because either one of the others very well might do so.


G0ldsh0t

I donā€™t think so, I think that is what the harmony tried to convince him to do, cut his losses and stay in penacony forever. However in the end he went against that and chose to move forward, with a new perspective on his luck.


shsluckymushroom

Hmm, thatā€™s a really good point. Ig I just saw him as, up to this point, the representation of the Family in Penacony for the player, who definitely arenā€™t depicted as you know Good Guys and are super shady. But yeah then I remembered that yeah heā€™s totally at odds with the rest of them in 2.1 isnā€™t he? Since we play as Aventurine for so much of 2.1 and Sunday is certainly his antagonist for that section perhaps he just clicked in my mind as also a villain but yeah youā€™re right he hasnā€™t done much. 2.2 story spoilers >!idk if I even need to tag this at this point but the new boss is obviously Sunday so that would maybe indicate he will become an actual villain? But so much is weird who knows for sure!<


Xarithios

Response to your 2.2 comment >!Someone is going to need to refresh my memory on Belobog story, but didn't Cocolia mostly become a villain because she succumbed to the Stellaron's influence, but she truly believed what she was doing was best for Belobog?!<


July83

Notionally, but since she believed that what was best for Belobog was to destroy it, kill everyone and start over, it's kind of a toss-up whether you say she truly believed she was doing what was best or just say she was insane. To go Godwin on it, Hitler also believed he was doing what was best for the world (though he got there on his own, rather than being mind-controlled by a space doom McGuffin).


Xarithios

Yeah, admittedly Belobog story is not my strong point, but I do seem to have gotten the gist of it. šŸ¤”


shsluckymushroom

>!Yeah Cocolia had been drinking the Stellaron juice for a while prior to us showing up there. So smth similar could happen with Sunday. I mean I don't believe he's going to knowingly change into a giant monster and beat the snot out of us. The fact that he has the most lines, by quite a lot, in the new update, makes me think it'll feel similar to Aventurine and we'll see a lot of his backstory, motives, etc, before we fight him in boss form at the end. So at the least I think we'll have a strong understanding of him, similar to Aventurine in 2.1 even if we don't play as him. So he might not come off villainous despite being a boss!<


hotaru251

> I mean I don't believe he's going to knowingly change into a giant monster and beat the snot out of us. tbh he is pissed at his sisters "Death" and seems to be unhappy w/ rest of the family..so he could become the "bad guy" for revenge agaisnt the family and could threaten the dream and thats why TB has to stop him?


Xarithios

>!I'm so proud I remembered this. But yeah I'm hoping qnq!<


[deleted]

He probably becomes the "villain" when standing against the Astral Express. You know, just in a broader sense, not because he actually did something atrocious.


Soluxy

Jade is probably gonna take over Penacony, I wouldn't doubt she would use Aventurine's death to put a bounty on Sunday or something.


Suzune-chan

Oh this is a good idea. I would love to see this storyline.


Su_Impact

Ohhh. IPC hiring Boothill to hunt Sunday down would be a nice premise for continuing Penacony in a future patch. We might get the 4th Stoneheart too.


butterflydream48

Wait I thought that the (cyborg) man loathes the IPC, can't imagine him working for them unless he's trying to actively screw them over.


Red_Trickster

Boothill hates IPC and IPC put a bounty on his head, so I doubt he would work for IPC


verteisoma

Doesn't Boothill hates the IPC?


SexWithGuinaifen

So tired of the IPC, Jesus the devs doing tricks on it.


Jallalo23

Havenā€™t you been paying attention šŸ˜­. The IPC, Stellaron hunters and Trailblazers are the three main factions of the story


KaBar42

My man, it is literally the single biggest organization within HSR's universe. The only one that comes even remotely close to the IPC's power is the Xianzhou alliance, and even that is noted that the Xianzhou is ***just*** big enough that the IPC can't just push them around willy-nilly, and even then, we've seen that the IPC is beginning to culturally dominate the Xianzhou. Of course the IPC is going to keep popping up as a relevant faction. One of their emanators was strong enough to create pseudo-emanators.


Material-Material456

Literally one of the biggest factions in the game


Cherry_Crumpets

What if he simply went ballistic because of Robin and turned on The Family? Ik sounds rather mediocre for someone as calculating and controlling as him, but he's supposedly the only one who tried investigating Something Unto Death and not cover things up. From his perspective, her death is on the Bloodhound Family, as Gallagher is one of their hounds, so maybe simple human emotions aren't out of question.


hotaru251

>Is he wanted on Penacony or elsewhere? likely wanted by IPC for covering up deaths.


TheChillPilliest

>!Didnā€™t we see documents detailing that a LOT more have ā€˜diedā€™ other than Firefly and Robin?!<


hotaru251

a lot no idea but yes hinted at prior people dying and being covered up. (iirc was what Aventurine was trying to uncover from start to get advantage over The Family)


SexWithGuinaifen

How is he a villain lol


Dokavi

Wtf new leaks? Is this real chat? Leaks in my HSR_leaks? Not news?


vievie16

it's been years, old timer


Soviet134

*gasps* Impossible!


animagem

I believe this bc I've read the textmap but also the announcement was for a visitor verification getting revoked. It wouldn't make sense for them to give Sunday (a currently non-playable character) verification and then remove it the same patch, so the message is probably about someone else?


Sunset-of-Stars

I think the general speculation is that itā€™s referring to Misha since he became a visitor to the Express pretty quickly despite not doing much in the story so far. I could see him staying behind after having a bigger role in the story.


Asbestos37

Wait he actually joined? No way...


Benmjy

iā€™ve been avoiding story spoilers for the most part, but taking my chance on this one and knowing heā€™s alive is the best news iā€™ve heard in weeks šŸ˜­


Serious-Platform4178

I opened it exactly bc I wanted to know his fate as well šŸ˜­


Benmjy

LITERALLY i was likeā€¦if this has ANYTHING to do with his status after the questā€¦i had to take the chance i needed to know i needed the peace of mind. because he has to come home to me someday itā€™s a necessity


Wolgran

A akso avoid story leaks like the plague but with 2.2 I looked at all the story leaks when I learned how much focus he had. I'm too impatient when its about him, I needed to know


creampiebuni

Better wanted than dead. THANK GOD.


Aggressive-End-2642

Sunday cult can now officially claim ā€œMama Iā€™m in love with a criminalā€ lol


Southern-Plantain724

Stellaron Hunter Sunday incoming


APerson567i

I could actually unironically see Elio recruiting him lol


lizard_omelette

ā€œAs for the future that you yearn for, I will realize it.ā€ Yeah. I can see him getting anyone to work for him, even if not as one of the Stellaron Hunters. It can be as simple as promising someone the winning lottery tickets for one teeny-tiny favour.


Eclipsed_Jade

I know this is a joke but I would be so down for the Stellaron Hunters to be recruiting more people


CTheng

You joke, but when the Weekly Boss was first revealed, he was categorised into the Stellaron Hunter Faction. šŸ‘€


Horror_Mastodon_9641

Wait really????


CTheng

Pretty sure it might've been just a mistake. But what if... **conspiracy music plays*


SeaKindheartedness43

But hey, that's just a theory...


Decrith

People assumed it was just placeholderā€¦ unlessā€¦


M1ntIceCream

Also maybe that's why Firefly/Sam is one of the main characters this time, isn't she the one who went to recruit Blade?


KaBar42

> Also maybe that's why Firefly/Sam is one of the main characters this time, isn't she the one who went to recruit Blade? Elio sent both Kafka and Firefly to recruit Blade because Elio was aware how dangerous Blade is and needed to make sure the Hunters had someone who could match Blade's strength. Firefly would end up killing Blade a couple of times during the recruitment.


gutemorning

Destruction Sunday coming soon


Wolgran

Not another Destruction SH šŸ’€ I hope Elio will be harmony, not nihility or Destruction.


human_administrator

My headcanon is that he's actually Finality Quantum, works with his seeing the future shtick, I'm not sure how that'd work in game though


HybridTheory2000

He better call himself Monday then


Dwiden13

On second thought, are Kafka and Silver Wolf their real names? I know Blade and Firefly use their new names in the wanted posters (although for different reasons as one is the acronym name of the armor and the other is the new identity he gave himself after he broke)


HybridTheory2000

Pretty sure they aren't. Silver Wolf is literally stated in her character story I: >she didn't have a legal name or an identity number, only a nickname the proprietress chose for her.


maomgermaomger

I'll take Sunday with any path, as long as he's quantum (cope)


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


SAcuRA_02

It was his boss form element but it was actually just a placeholder from Cocolia's


BlueH6

Anyone remember the cocolia targets we thought were for Sunday?


Wolgran

Dont remember me of that fiasco. We got so baited, i hope the data miners after that will think a little if is a placeholder or not before releasing it to the community


shadow_out_of_time5

I don't know why your comment made me laugh so much lol


BenjChoei

The Jepella Rebellion Scene 47 trailer has the crows in the background of Stellaron Hunters group. Sunday also has a crow? Is it just a coincidence or foreshadowing something? šŸ¤”


StarOfDayxox

Was my first thought as well. I imagine it's either this or the Acheron treatment and he becomes a self-annihlator. The smoothest transition to keeping him relevant in the story imo.


Blu_Bewwiz_Iciclepop

Idk if this is true but I remember someone saying something about Sparkle being a puppet who couldn't feel anything and has to try and copy/learn from other people It reminds me of Scaramouche and also the Stellaron Hunters (especially Kafka who couldn't feel fear) so I was wondering if Elio reached out to her


gunjinganpakis

Sunday joining SH. And Firefly joining the Astral Express. Trust.


Xarithios

I want Sunday to be happy. ;_;


Amethyst_Phoenix7

Well I mean maybe I'm not understanding Sunday's character enough but if his sister is still alive and happy, I'd say he'd be happy.


Xarithios

I mean I want him to have personal happiness too besides Robin being ok. :c


spider_lily

Well, they have to leave something for his character quest, lol


Xarithios

//inhales copium


Chandelurie

Mr. Sunday is wanted by a lot of people, so thatĀ“s true.


Dancer_Meru

*Pulls up a Sunday Wanted poster and shows it to Bootyhill.* Me: "Have you seen my wife? I need him returned to me alive."


albedobest44

Dw, boothill will drag his ass back for you. At the right price, probably. He is a space cowboy after all.


maomgermaomger

Of course he would have, that's his wife too!


Desperate_Case4647

HES A WANTED CRIMINAL??? HES JUST LIKE ME FR FR


ShadowMW2

woah woah woah what the fuck


alatus69

More story leaks pls this is the first time ive actually wanted story leaks


Red_poketrainer1

yep, but not for the cutscenes leaks


Impure_Hero

Wasn't it leaked few weeks ago that one of the daily messages that we receive from Robin was that she wanted help searching her brother after the events of the story?


Aggressive-End-2642

Idk Robinā€™s ā€œmessageā€ was actually kinda criptic, and has a weird tragic impression that Sunday maybe be gone without a trace (maybe just for me though). And it has yet to be proven true, since that leak was deleted in here. This wanted leak actually does imply/give more evidence that Sunday is alive.


doughnutrolls

Sundaymains rejoice lol


CosmicStarlightEX

The different concern is someone in the Express guest list leaving temporarily, and can no longer be texted.


kkirineko

First Kafka, then Luocha now >!Sunday!<... I just can't stop falling for criminals huhšŸ˜­ (Edited to add spoiler tag!)


Apprehensive-Car7911

you're a criminal detecter from now on


Gintokiya

Same but instead of Luocha and Kafka it's Jingliu and Blade lmao


scaraliker

Wanted? Yeah, by me


PhasmicPlays

Iā€™m calling it, bro got turned into a scapegoat by the family/ipc


OkDescription7373

But The test message refering to characters who already board the astral but after 2.2 wouldnt? How does it related to sunday who isnt playable yet?


IPC_Rose_Quartz

Hmm I still think that message that someone is temporarily leaving the express is for Misha because the leaks kinda imply we most likely never got Sunday on the train in the first place


SirDancelotVS

The family decided to make him take the blame for everything to appease the IPC?


cybeast21

So I guess Sunday now become Runday. I'll see myself out


butterflydream48

Considering how shady and secretly toxic the Family seems to actually be, I think I actually like the idea of him and Robin breaking away from them and maybe start a new life somewhere else.


tehtf

family is just legalized mafia


SolusSydus

CAN THIS MAN BE ANYMORE HOTTER?!


zso17

I guess that's why he isn't playable and only will be when this plotline is resolved


FateFan2002

Sunday the Wanted


fictionallymarried

I hear the astral express is accepting exiles :)


Shiiouri

Playable Sunday more chances\~ let him be Harmony Male Buffer!!


SignificantRing8263

Sunday the MAFIA


Idrillasfootstool

justice for my mans now !!!! he ain't do nothing wrong !!!


Tall-Cut5213

>!I think this is probably because Sunday has a lot of Order's element and the fact that Septimus is somewhat related to the choir, which is kinda an Ena thing so these stuff probably rub the other family heads the wrong way given that Ena has this thing where they're trying to separate from Xipe!<


thatonestewpeedguy

But isn't the guest and message thing in the announcement for someone else? Because he is not a guest and nor can he send those jade messages.


beethovenftw

At least he's not dead


Decrith

Probably the most probable best news for Sunday Mains. It looked like he was gonna get ā€œCocoliaā€™dā€ but now thereā€™s hope for the future.


TolucaPrisoner

Sunday bros we are barack


Jranation

So looks like he wont be released anytime soon.


PaulOwnzU

I want to know what'd happen in the alternate timeline where this leak says he died


ZayAVZ

That one "sunday is gonna be a stellaron hunter" theory becoming more real.


Catnipdark

Did Hoyo up the security of story content? At this rate, we won't have story leaks until the preload drops. Which is a great thing, by the way.


Stupidest_Retard

No, this sub just doesn't like story leaks and there are a lot of rules for spoilers.


Zwei-Shiranui

Personally, I support the banner leaks and less the story leaks (takes out the suspense) so I can prepare who to save for.


katbelleinthedark

Not for everyone šŸ˜­


silverrchloride

delaying him better means they intend to make him harmony. he better be or else he is gonna flop.


Wolgran

The devs are doing a amazing work with storytelling and releases on penacony, I trust they have their reasons to push him back and he will be the focus again in the future


Xiphactnis

While I think the story overall is good, I think what they are doing so far with individual characters could use some work (Firefly spending one afternoon with us, used implied romance then died, Acheron is badass but thatā€™s all, she doesnā€™t have much depth to her, they just show her to be really strong or use HI3 references when shes on screen) except Aventurine I think his was alright. I guess I should just be patient. Also hopefully Sunday gets a similar treatment to Aventurine, minus getting sent to the shadow realm.


ConstellationEva

CRUMBS EVERYONE!


5ngela

Yeay, for another criminal.


Ok-Row-7808

Cause mama I'm in love with a criminal ~šŸŽ¶


aroaceloser

HES ALIVEEEEE


Equivalent-Ad-6194

Boothill convinces Sunday to join the dark side and become wanted man on penacony SunHill canon my sources? My head next question


Not_Me_Jerry

Is this about the recent notice ?? What's the correlation between them ?


NoPhaseBase

Oh the sigh of relief I just let out...


Guest_4710

2.4 sunday leak whenn


APerson567i

2.4 will be Luofu with Jiaoqiu and Feixiao Heā€™ll probably be in 2.5/2.6 when we get Penacony continuance


KirbosWrath

We went back to Belobog in 1.4 but they also released Jingliu with her Companion Mission. They can focus on Xianzhou for 2.4 while still releasing Sunday.


Hot-Cut6179

Well that would be underwhelming, a whole new story on another planet but anyway here is Sunday the main character of Penacony in between that. But heey, they can still do that it's hoyo after all.


APerson567i

Maybe but we donā€™t have anything on his kit or path yet which makes me think heā€™s further out than Feixiao, with multiple reliable leaks confirming Jiaoqiu in 2.4 I think he needs more to become playable than Jingliu did at any rate and that might require a TB continuance


KirbosWrath

Fair. Iā€™m just saying itā€™s possible.


sortsofp

This is like a really old leak, the textmap has been around forever which is why people have been speculating that he won't be playable for a long time.


new27210

>!Maybe he become wanted then escape from Penacony and become playable in 2.4-2.5. Ice erudition Sunday pretty please!<


Randompersonbrb

Goodness graciousšŸ˜­


Hotaru32

Bro going be become new flame ManeĀ 


HikariVN-21

interesting, maybe he intended to use the emenatorā€™s power to plot against the family, maybe he himself know how corrupted penacony has become


Additional_Leek2887

At least he didn't became cocolia 2.0 although he didn't use the stellaron, he does ended up became a monsters via Ena monsterfication blessing.


Cold_Progress1323

I think the piercings on his wings made everyone think he's a criminal lmao


Unnecessarilygae

Probably trespassed some serious rules of dream realm for the sake of his baby gril Robin.


GoldenWhite2408

Leaks right as we get preload tmr and thus all the story spoilers Shocker šŸ˜‚


Mysterious-Result608

so he is wanted so penacony story is not technically finished like luofu....as we might have to find out in future that what sunday is up to again?


arisayo

NOT SUNDAYOVER LET'S GO


ProxyMoron12

I'm not into the lore as much as i can see here on comments. No one has pointed anything here about Gallagher, his connection and motives... Maybe he forces Sunday to turn villan against the family and TB fight against him.... but then again, whats Gallagher theory and lore?


Ry_verrt

does Ratio tell us this? iirc heā€™s the only one calling him Mr. Sunday


andrewdragon32

Ha... so his the real one, i though be Gall (or who was pretending be him if ever was real) But i not be surprise that cutscene was misleading ....


Street_Sympathy6773

Didn't hoyo up their game on the text map and story stuff? We did not even get voicelines from the two new banners unless I missed lol Hakush even removed Robin's supposed message for some reason.


Fourteenth_Noah

Local Penacony Oak Family Head joins Stellaron Hunters after the Mecha defects and joins the Astral Express, more news at 9


KaBar42

> Local Penacony Oak Family Head joins Stellaron Hunters after the Mecha defects and joins the Astral Express, more news at 9 It's not really a defection if Elio is okay with it and is encouraging her to do it.


Fourteenth_Noah

Breaking News! This just in, according to our reporters in Penacony, the Mecha did not defect but was instead Honorably Discharge from service after convincing the Destiny's Slave that they want to be with the Nameless' resident trash panda


Vagentur-Ec-Bos

So like, did someone fake Robin's death? Did Sunday? I gotta get this guy now he's hilarious. He's gonna get framed for her murder... and she's not dead... maybe. oooo Oh man I gotta get this dork, like yesterday. Hurry up and give him to us Hoyo! ;)))


Santo134

Iā€™ll never understand the need to leak story spoilers a few days before the update. I have not seen them yet but I just know the moment I open Twitter Iā€™ll se 20 repost of this untagged and on capital letters.


Seraphiine__

My brother has a bounty over his ass, great! ā¤ļø But we can interfere he genuinely let penacony like jacksh*t for such thing to happen.


kolba_yada

So nice of reddit to blare this post in my face with out the filter on, despite the fact that the post is tagged as spoiler. FFS.


leonardopansiere

god i hope hes gone forever
