Honkai: Star Rail — Sparkling Tricks
This world's just like a big non-stop circus showcasing beasts brawling all day and night: bears on unicycles, lions leaping through fire hoops, monkeys juggling bowls...

Sparkling like fireworks into brilliant colors— You think the leading character would dare do this? (Source: Honkai Star Rail YouTube Channel)
