{{Description|The event that tore apart the Aspects, and reconstructed the world as 81 different Planes. The reason for it is unknown. It is also known as the Sundering of the World, or “The Big Rip.” |{{Ref/Loading Screen|The Sundering}}}}
The '''Sundering''' {{Lang|zh=崩坏|zh_rm=Bēnghuài|zh_tl=Honkai}}, also known as the '''Sundering of the World''' and '''The Big Rip''', was a cataclysmic event that occurred 214 years ago.

==History==
The exact details of the Sundering are unknown, but it is implied to have had a significant impact on the state of the world. Before the Sundering, nothing existed in true isolation or independently from outside influence, as the [[Nexus]] threads connected everything together.<ref name="nexus">Honkai: Nexus Anima (August 31, 2025).

After the Sundering, the Nexus was broken and stable connections between things were lost, severing the paired Aspects. The remaining fragments formed 81 independent universes, called [[Plane]]s, now scattered across the [[New World]] and ruled over by [[Novarch]]s.<ref name="aspects" /> The pieces also manifested as creatures of Aspect energy, referred to as [[Anima|Nexus Anima]]. [[Nexus Battle]]s became the recognized method of resolving disputes across most Planes.<ref name="nexus" />

==Trivia==
* As evident from other languages, the Sundering refers to the Honkai; a recurring cataclysmic force in the ''{{w|Honkai}}'' series that manifests in different forms.

===Etymology===
* To sunder means "to split apart."
* Both {{zh|崩坏|rm=Bēnghuài}} (Chinese) and {{ja|崩壊|rm=Houkai}} (Japanese) can be translated as "collapse."
