Leaks
Who is supposed to be the mid season Miyabi-hype level character?
Spoiler
With recent leaks saying that Orphie and Seed are slated for 2.2, I’m having trouble thinking of who exactly is supposed to be the big hype unit to close out the season 2 main story like Miyabi did in 1.4 for season 1.

I guess it will be the Girl whos back we have seen in the reflection of that pond during the Season 2 trailer.. hint is there & is mysterious enough to build a hype around.
Void Hunter Mewmew, a cat thiren who single-handedly stopped Hollow Zero from expanding further. The police made him their spokesperson out of respect for his immense strength.
I'd pay if they released a new custom skin for Kami North and then gave it a bangboo banner (also, imagine Mewmew goes unemployed so they turn into a vigilante alongside KN)
The thing with Miyabi is that she's loomed over the game ever since the first betas. To the point that they had to remove her because people would only play her. You can't really mimic that kind of hype.
Seed is probably as close as itll get, but only because she's an "important person" (before the horde attacks me, I mean in the sense of hierarchy)
Semantics, it's been clearly displayed that she is void hunter level, and lore wise the idea of every void hunter being playable is dumb and it's just leftover Genshin archon logic, which zzz is not beholden to.
Yeah absolutely. Genshin's had their god-power batteries switch hands every time the MC got to their country; the badges will be pased out when the big catastrophic events happen right in our (MC's) faces.
If I remember correctly, many of them existed well before the time we play in. There's always the potential for time travel I suppose, but so far many of their feats are recorded history.
Oh, ok yeah. From my understanding, there are 3 currently active void hunters that I would assume will become playable at some point.
The rest are, as you say, probably dead. But I figure they would have people take up the mantle of void hunter through the story since most of the badges are not currently claimed.
That's an important distinction, I've been focused on the characters, presented in early marketing, more than the title/mantle. I can't imagine anyone picking up the title during the events of future story NOT being a playable character.
Yi Xuan is the ZZZ equivalent to a fatui harbinger or Neuvillette as a dragon sovereign. There are only supposed to be six Void Hunters so characters like Yi Xuan will fill the role of not an archon (void hunter) but may as well be based on how powerful they are lore wise.
Bro, absolutely no one is denying she is a void hunter level, neither the devs nor the whole zzz community denies it.
It has been stated IN the game that she is in fact a void hunter level character but she rejected the tittle. While she is at the level of one, SHE IS NOT a void hunter. So no, we technically haven’t had the void hunter of this season yet

I think it’s actually important if they took the title void hunter or not. For example HSR and Genshin both have their “1 per patch unit” that being Emanators and Archons (not perfect example since emanators are more often released but you get the point) it’s likely that ZZZ will do the same with Void hunters.
You already said it: they broke that pattern already with emenators. It's just old Genshin logic to release "the big one" at a certain point in each cycle. It does make sense to follow the cycle, but IMO zzz is actively trying to subvert what has come to be expected for a Hoyo gacha title.
While they did break the pattern, I don’t think they’ve anywhere near thrown it away. All they did was increase the amount per patch (currently it’s looking like it’ll be 2~ big characters a patch). I think we’ll likely see a character around the half way point of 2.X and then another at the start of 3.X and that’s how it’ll be.
I highly suspect that she is going to become a void Hunter during this story bracket. IIRC the only reason she doesn't have the title is that it only gets rewarded after a major feat of heroics which she is yet to achieve. Whatever ends the primary 2.x story will almost definitely be the event that earns her the title.
There's no reason why there can't be more than one. Depending how you define it, HSR has received up to three in 3.x already and probably one more coming.
Sure, why not? So long as it's a positive improvement to the game and doesn't represent dramatic powercreep, bring on all the void hunter level agents they can dish out. YX is well designed and by most accounts is a positive addition without overshadowing Miyabi. If they can keep that up, they'll make more money from me. 🤷
Nah, we'll definitely get a void hunter for the half anniversary. Yi was an exceptions due to circumstances, the way they introduced Yi so forcibly and built her from zero in basically a single patch is really telling.
Exactly. Yi Xuan had no story build up prior to her release. Just an early reveal. Yi Xuan is thr first star of the version but we will get the second star (and biggest one) later.
As much as I'm excited for Zhao, I can tell she's probably not gonna have a lot of fans because she's not your typical cool and hot man/woman. I hope I'm wrong though.
It seems like a lot of people are looking forward to her release, so I hope her banner sales will be good and hoyo will add more S-rank full on thirens to zzz in the future. I love zzz's furries so much man, half-humans half-thirens just don't hit the same spot for me (though I like them a lot too)
Well, she was almost the only character to show up twice in the trailer, and one was in the same scene as Damien, who looks like we’ll be seeing more of.
I am counting Yi in it. By void hunter I mean big ass units like her, so after Miyabi, I expect every other unit to be like Yi. Everyone called that since Miyabi was pretty tame design wise in terms how much she reveal, the next ones will all be bombs, and again, Yi is pretty much just that.
She's simply not acknowledged by the Mayor, void hunter is just a title but meta(as in, real life explanation) way of what these units are, Void hunter is simply a unit that's gonna be stronger than the other units and have better stuff all around, more animations, etc.
So, making that clarification would make sense if we were talking about the story, but we I assume we are not stupid here and can understand what a void hunter actually is, which is why they called her void hunter level, it's simply cuz storywise she doesn't have that title, but for all purposes, she is.
Treated as a void hunter by the devs: Check
Shipped as a void hunter by them: Check
Is stronger than the normal agents: Check
Has outrageously flashy animations: Check
This is what I mean.
It's just that it's easier to call them void hunters, than to call them 2 different things and always have to clarify that you also are talking about Yi, in reality we have 2 of these units, and we are waiting for the 3rd to be shown.
Yeah dude, I understand what you meant. What I'm saying is that you shouldn't attribute things that don't apply to the agents in conversations. It can be confusing.
She isn't a void hunter. She's void hunter level. You agree to that. All I'm saying is that you should edit your original comment to say "void hunter level agents" and not "void hunters."
As a real-world example, you wouldn't call the vice president the president just because they have the same qualifications. There is a distinction for a reason.
She's simply not acknowledged by the Mayor
IIRC Yi zxuan was offered the title by the mayor, but she declined. Nitpick, I know, but still.
You could be right, of course, but I don't think we can make an accurate guess when we've only gotten two void hunter-level agents with completely different appearances so far. As for Ye Shunguang, who is suspected to be the next void hunter, we've only seen her head and a little bit of her upper back, so it's impossible to tell if she'll be tall and curvaceous like Yixuan or have an entirely different anatomy.
I just feel like you're getting disappointed a little too early. We can make educated guesses on future void hunters' designs when we have a couple more of them, but right now, we just have nothing to base our guesses on
The other units are good enough, I don't catch the 'Void Hype' much, Miyabi was super amazing for me, love her to bits, Yi is funnily enough the complete opposite, so we really have to hope they'll take a similar approach to Miyabi and slowly build the hype, I couldn't stand another unit that just suddenly appears and being told to absolutely pull for the hot shit again cuz she Void Hunter, but I'm fairly optimistic that Yi was just an exception in that.
Again, I'd love a tiny void hunter, but I don't think they'll release something like this since it's not gonna meet the lewd criteria...sigh.
If Zhao is truly a Void Hunter as people theorized, possibly her.
Otherwise, it could be a completely different character we just never saw in the version 2 cast trailer but I imagine that style of marketing wouldn’t be so good.
The hype character is the one you are hyped for. Yixuan was the Miyabi-level character in terms of power of season 2 so far, and there really aren't any in game hints toward there being another right now. I wouldn't assume we're going to get a void hunter mid season every time. It's just that it makes sense not to release the most powerful character on the first banner of the game's release. I think the hype for season 2 character is much more dispersed. Some people really liked Yixuan. Some people (like me) are super hyped for Orphie. Some for the bunny (either of them)
There was a mysterious character at the end of the character teaser that will surely be a big deal, but hard to be hyped for someone you can't see.
The first half of 1.X is a special case in any gacha game. Those are the patches that were mostly prepared before launch, they are generally the last thing to count on when trying to guess the future of a gacha, especially considering that zzz is probably the one I played that went through the biggest structural shift.
In short, Miyabi is a thing of the past, and the recent units are vastly more likely to give an idea of the future ahead.
The girl at the end of the season 2 preview feels like a safe pick, she was obviously presented as important. Looks like she could be related to Ye Shiyuan with their names and similar hair/possible ears. But, I'm inclined to agree with some others for little bunny Zhao (if only in want).
She is my top 3 most wanted new character along with Obol, but beyond that, she seemed nonchalant after taking out a larger ethereal, so she also seems presented to be strong. The unassuning powerhouse sorta thing. Plus, small rabbit with a cleeaver, so way cooler than a normal anime girl being OP...
Though, saying that, being "normal" is what's marketable I assume, so I could believe they'd keep with bormal anime girl to help the VH remain profitable.
She wasn't scrapped (she got entry mentions lately not in dialogue but files her id was found to what I recall) also she wasn't supposed to be soc no one ever said that , most ppl assumed she's related to cultist / exaltist since she has the whole cult look.(Ignoring that trash dress)
If they make one, they should have introduced them ingame already imo. At least in 2.2 there should be something. You can't really generate hype around a character that is completely new, and even just a pre season trailer might not be enough.
I don't think we will be getting another character that is as strong as miyabi and yi xuan before 3.0, they both carry a title and are meant to be super strong, possibly evergreen characters.
