Hotpot mishaps, whack-a-mole and a hospital bed all belong to the same pop song in Phoenix's animated music video. Zenless Zone Zero's "Phoenix EP - "1% Battery Girl" | Zenless Zone Zero" turns its depleted heroine's adventures into a jumble of life meters, miniature cartoon skits and band performances.

The video drew nearly a million views in its first day, roughly twenty times the official channel's usual opening. It arrives alongside Phoenix character clips and the game's "Journey to the Sky" update, but has a story of its own to tell.

Phoenix, also identified onscreen as Reffaella, ricochets between arcade-style challenges and more dramatic animation. Aerial obstacle sequences lead into a detention facility; later, she stands above the city and unfurls glowing red energy wings. Hospital scenes interrupt the cartoon chaos, with the final stretch returning to her bedside as she opens her eyes and smiles.

ChiliChill handles production, composition, lyrics and vocals, with orchestral strings also credited. That voice is a recurring subject in the comments: several listeners bring up "PinKing," some saying they recognized the sound before checking the credits.

Others focus on Phoenix's companions trying to keep her out of trouble. Beneath all the flashing life meters, viewers are picking out the small acts of care from the Krampus team.

  • Ooh it's by the same artist as PinKing, I'm digging this!

  • Phoenix is the literal definition of ‘1 HP and a dream’.
  • I like how the other Krampus members actually try to help her. Even if they're the "coldest" and most business oriented faction, they don't want her to get hurt.
