Who is Otto Apocalypse?

Through all the media I consumed, only a few antagonists have had a lasting impact on me. Otto Apocalypse is one of them. A hypocrite. A clown that lost his own sense of self 500 years ago when his hero and love of his life died an unjust death caused by a world that did not deserve her.

You may know him as an evil villain, a pitiful soul, or a fool that challenged fate. What made him such a brilliantly written antagonist? What was the main inspiration that Hoyoverse took when they created him? And what are the most common misconceptions regarding him? All of these will be answered in this video.

Otto always had a tumultuous relationship with the Honkai Impact 3rd community. Almost everybody harbors strong feelings towards him, be it hate, love, or respect for his unwavering persistence. But if one thing is clear, that is the fact that he is one of the most wellcrafted antagonists that HoYoverse created across all of their games. From a strong motivation hidden beneath layers of complexity to a strong philosophical background inspired by the work of the German philosopher Frederic Nietzsche, Otto Apocalypse is a character whose full potential has been realized.

A man who rose above the stereotypical portrayal of a villain. And, despite how impossible his goal seemed he achieved it. For me, characters like Otto are what makes fiction worth investing my time in. I always believed that the role of a good character is to stir up emotions in the eyes of the audience. Be it positive or negative. It doesn't matter. Art is about expression, about feeling, and Otto made us all feel something.

Farwell, O’ great inventor! See you in the next world!

Please Enjoy!
