Honkai

This page claims that Honkai Star Rail is a sequel to Honkai Impact 3rd or any other Honkai games which is purely incorrect and false. Honkai Star Rail and Honkai Impact 3rd are two different games that take in 2 different worlds but are in the same universe tree. All the characters in Honkai Star Rail (except for welt) are counterparts/expys, (meaning that they are different character/people) that share only same first name and similar appearance. Welt Yang is the ONLY character that’s the same person that comes from HI3 and came to HSR. It was also comfirmed by Hoyoverse that HSR is NOT a sequel to any Hoyoverse games, especially Honkai Impact 3rd. HSR is comfirmed to be a spin-off of Honkai series, NOT a sequel. Also one more thing, all the characters in Honkai: Star rail don’t have a canon sexuality, it’s all ambiguous (unknown) and they are all single, (Except for welt, he is straight and is married) just like Genshin Impact. So anybody is allowed to headcanon any characters sexuality and ship them with whoever they want because they don’t have canon sexuality and are all single. The only thing that HI3 and HSR are connected for is the Same Welt Yang and being in the same universe tree and that’s it.

Honkai Impact 3rd and Honkai Star Rail should NOT be on the same page on the Ship Wiki and here is why:

They are separate universes and overall entirely different games that although have characters that LOOK the same they are not. They are their own characters and even their personalities arent always the same. There are even characters in HSR that are not in HI3. These are two different games in their own universes with their own stories and character relations that are not 1 for 1 between both HSR and HI3 and should be treated as such otherwise it gets confusing to other people.

Also think about the overall issues. They are their own games with no relation to each other other then being part of the same universe tree. Its a scenario like the Marvelverse. But you wouldnt consider a Spider man game and an Iron Man game to be the same game would you? The same concept applies here. Not to mention it forces the newborn HSR ships to contest with HI3 ships some of which have existed for years when they shouldnt even have to for the reasons stated. Its simply not a fair playing field and kind of ruins the neutrality expected of ship wikis because people are already using characters from HI3 to "prove" their HSR ship when neither variants have anything to do with each other outside of appearance and name.

In conclusion: For the sake of clarity and an even playing field between all ships both in HI3 and in HSR they should be separated. There is literally no reason DanMarch for example should be dancing on the same field as KevinMei when Neither of them exist in each other's universe. It makes no sense
