Then shouldn’t he be able to use some sort of travel mechanic if he was from Nathan since then the wayob’s protection would reactivate? It doesn’t so I don’t think so?
Tbh, the reason why any of natlan people wouldn't go outside of natlan is because they're interconnected to the wayob (which is practically a self-made ley line). It's supported when the children of murata left their home country (natlan), they receive memory problems to the point that they don't even remember their homeland, which ended up in Mondstadt
I'm hoping for a Bennett story quest where Bennett goes to Natlan and for some reason he's no longer unlucky (at least while in Natlan). It'll be fine if they don't explicitly say it but that will indeed prove he's from Natlan. 😅
@@Blast4slayer I actually had that theory too myself, that would also account for bennetts appearance in a lot of banners for Natlan to be story realted and why he hasnt been seen ever since the windblum festival event, it would be perfect for him to show up in natlan and realise that from birth he was Natlanese
So you didn't mention it, and I literally have no clue what npc pipped up and told me this, but one of them specific said when asked 'Why don't people leave natlan?' that for 1 they see it as cowardly and insulting to ones ancestors to not stay and fight the abyss and that 2 the people of natlan are inherently cursed by the abyss to suffer disaster without the protection of the wyyob and that thier protection doesn't expend past the boarders of Natlan. When I read that my first thought was 'Oh hey, incredibly cursed things happening all the time, that kinda sounds like bennet!'
Oh yess thanks for pointing it out! I didnt wanna talk about that because it would just stray away from the current topic of Bennett's true identity.. but yea it's probably due to the lack of the Wayob's protection
isn't it about that one limited event before 5.0 (i believe around 4.5 or 4.6). a natlan guy(not actually birth from natlan) want be friend with pyro regisvine, primo geovishap, and etc. i believe this was first info about natlan
Nahida appeared where Rukkhadevata passed away. So... if the first pyro archon defeated the pyro dragon in the volcano and Bennet was found there... he can be a dragon sovereign, like Neuvillete.
Y'all were fools for thinking that Kokomi was an entire dragon. She's a priestess. A human. Mihoyo crumbled Kokomi into the pieces the minute she wasn't being a tactician while being advertised as such. There was no way she would have been treated this poorly if she had been a dragon.
I always thought Mavuika was from the scions of the canopy, as her family raised Yamkasaurs (however you spell it). Saurians typically associated with the Scions of the Canopy
In the 5.1 AQ, in her memories scene, she reminices about burkina (whos from scions of the canopy) and burkina talks to her like as if they live in the same tribe so she might’ve been part of that tribe. Her sister also only worked as an architect for that tribe.
The reason why he likely survived and received his vision was also because of something explained in his hangout. When Bennett is unconscious, his bad luck goes away. That’s why, in one of the endings, Bennett decides to eat a very bad egg he had cooked in hopes to save the Traveler and his old adventuring mate. Since Bennett had passed out due to his wounds, it is entirely possible his bad luck temporarily disappeared and he received a vision. The only problem with this though is it’s Bennett’s theory. It’s entirely possible he was wrong and something else was at play both times
You know, there is a tribe that hasn't been mentioned yet in the Natlan story, being the Children of Murata, but we have heard about them way before 5.0 through the light novel. What if the Mare Jivari was the original home of the Children of Murata but through the events of the battle between Tenoch and the abyss it completely wiped out the majority of the tribe leaving ony Vanessa and the refugees in mondstat who escaped a long time ago and Bennett who was found in the aftermath.
@GenshinBane and it would also tie into the fact that each tribe represents an element except for Pyro which could have been the element that the Children of Murata represented before getting wiped out
Don't be fooled by the description of fertile lands. Slopes of volcanoes have long been, despite the danger, attractive for farmers as the ashen ground can in fact provide lots of nutrients for a lush harvest.
In Bolivia (South America) there is a monolith associated with bad luck, some people say that even caused multiple floods in different places where it was placed on... And of course the name of the monolith is Bennett...
I hope Bennet appears in a similar and more epic way like Mona's sudden appearance in Fountaine 😂. Mavuika quest might be featured Bennet as main star and abyss remain or avatar as antagonist.Change my mind
This could also be a reason why the symbols of Natlan, like the oculi and the statue, both are broken in the same spot, which could be symbolic of a broken cycle or missing tribe. This was an interesting video, and voiced a lot of thoughts I've had about Bennett and his origins. 😊
My prediction, the future event, we will get new outfit for Bennett as a rebirth, he will be reborn like a phoenix as his skills and Ultimate emblem 👍👍👍 shines brighter with more details😊😊😊😊
Nooo, not an outfit please i hope its like an alternate character/identity type scene like a 5star version sort of like imbibitor lunae to dan heng in hsr
OMG THIS WOULD BE SO AWESOME BC LOOK AT HOW MANY YEARS BENNETT HAS BEEN CARRYING,SUPPORTING AND HELPING US IN THE ABYSS AND OVERWORLD!! SO HE DESERVES TO GET A NEW SKIN OR GET UPGRADED TO FIVE STAR RARITY LIKE HOW HSR DID!!!
God, I want a Bennett story quest with him coming to Natlan. Like sometime after the Main story is done. I would be so stoked if this theory of him being from Natlan is confirmed.
Bennett was most likely not found in the Mare Jivari, as it's described as "A sea of ashes where the wind does not blow" and the poem where it tells the story of Bennett says the adventurer had to face hollering winds, contradicting the statement about winds not blowing in the Mare Jivari
While it's also possible , maybe "where the wind does not blow" could also mean beyond the Anemo Archon's reach because Stanley says " I can hear the winds blowing in the Mare Jivari"
@@GenshinBane That could be it, but the scene shows him believing he is in the Mare Jivari and he is surprised to feel the winds blowing there, implying he didn't feel any wind when he was first there. What i believe is the cause of there being no winds in the Mare Jivari is most likely due to the abyss presence and the conflict that first created the Mare Jivari when Tenoch and the heroes fought the abyss there, at least it's what i believe. But what you said could be possible.
@@GenshinBane And just to clarify, i do believe Bennett is from Natlan, i just don't think he was found in the Mare Jivari, given the similiraties between him and Iansan, i believe he is from the Collective of Plenty and was found either inside the volcano or somewhere very close to it.
@@BruninhPLc frankly, it just makes sense that the wind does not blow there: with all that ash lying about, it would be really bad for anyone's bronchials to traverse there if the winds were blowing - not to mention the low visibility!
And if phoenix eggs determine gender by the temperature of the egg during incubation, like alligators and turtles, the fact that his egg was cracked could be why he is male.
I was watching this and thought that Bennett might be the descendant of Mavuika's sister and kinda like how Ei and Makoto are both the demon Beelzebub, but with Mavuika and her sister it would be different, Mavuika is Heborym, so her sister would be Phenex, which would mean Bennett is Phenex.
I like this theory since fire is heavily oriented towards death and ressurection in genshin (even atea's story which you mentioned is specifically pyro, relate to death). A phoenix civilisation also seems interesting, altho I do wonder why we would have so little mention of them. Maybe in a future update ?
I was listening to a podcast(Norse mythology:the unofficial guide) that breaks down some of the surviving texts about Nordic deities. the Fischl from The Shattered Halberd(and implicitly Flowers for Princess Fischl) is the daughter of Irmin, who for simplicity sakes we'll call the Tree Father, and who's clearly an analogue of Odin, well known for having sacrifced one of his eyes for wisdom(thus, Eyepatch). i know i know, not about Fischl, but she's basically considered his closest, maybe only friend. another one covers Loki's association with fire. a key point there is not that he rules over it, or even uses it, just that he's repeatedly linked to it. we've literally got the two sides of Ragnarok as adventure buddies.
@@GenshinBane definitely. i think it's one of those hints at the larger nature of the world, rather then any major secret about those two, but point stands. you could say it's analogous to having Furina partnered with Neuvilette for so long, even though they represent somewhat opposing sides (Archonhood vs Primordial being)
@@GenshinBaneIf we look at Mavuika's mother , she seems to be wearing clothes of Flowers-Feather clan . So it's possible that Mavuika's dad is from Scions of Canopy and her mother from Flower-Feather clan .
Shes from the scions of the canopy. She reminices about getting a better ancient name than burkina and then burkina talks about how they have a tribe thing that night and they both should go back to the tribe. Burkina was the scions of the canopy hero with the yumkasaur king kongamato
controversial opinion.. Bennet will not even be seen in Natlan cause Genshin can't make stories , unless its the main story lol literally EVERYONE expect bennet to pop up, me included, but mihoyo loves to destroy people hope so.. XD
@@SammiSkulz true cause 90% of them suck , very bad.. and involve NPC nobody gives a crap about , aside from a couple. Anybody who like these just have zero taste in "stories" really. their standard is so low, that they could read ingredient on a product and think its entertaining. -.-
Annnnnd so far you're right. What a missed opportunity. Mihoyo never gives old characters a spot light once you move past them in the main story. Dain is the only recurring character.
Even if Bennett is from Natlan (which would be pretty interesting), I don't think the revelation would be big or exciting. Thinking back to Kaeya and Dain interaction, yeah, we all were expecting something big, weren't we 😅
Now that we have Ororon, another abandoned Natlan Baby (now technically Bennett could've had caring parent/s and was the lone survivor of some circumstance but I digress) that could also give us a new avenue for Bennett lore. It's possible Bennett could've also been a baby born with an Incomplete Soul, which Citlali says can be considered a bad omen by some of the tribes and is probably why Ororon was abandoned... Maybe in Bennett's case the bad omen was more direct or the effects are amplified outside of Natlan explaining his bad luck? Or, it's crackpot theory time, this is some sh¡t straight out of Xenoblade and baby Bennett died in the Mare Jivari but some form of spirit/soul entered his corpse revitalizing him while the spirit now rests within him filling in the incomplete soul like how Gunthar attempted on Ororon when the Source Mechanisim weakened his soul, maybe babies' souls are that weak at such an early age? As well the Mare Jivari, the place where the winds don't blow to carry the dead away, would have no shortage of lingering souls as the site of a battle so brutal it withered the land itself... Now Crackpot phase 2, if 2 souls and a corpse managed to escape death that would be breaking the rules which Ronova definitely wouldn't approve of, so perhaps she is the one that's been attempting to kill Bennett all this time which is seen as bad luck appearing everywhere he goes (there's also the tidbit in other theories that imply Bennett himself is actually incredibly lucky so all the bad luck is balanced out, except for those caught in the crossfire)...
i swear, the lore and connections that lore crafters come up with are probably way better than anything Hoyo will do with Bennet. I want them to give us Bennet lore so bad, but that's not gonna happen. so these lore theories are my crack canon lore xDD
I HAVE A CRAZY THEORY: Bennet is actually the human reborn from Xabalanque. Remember he was reborn from the corpse of the Pyro sovereign. He now dons a Pheonix shaped head and even ascended to godhood. Bennet is his human side reborn separate. Kinda like how Focalor was able to create a new mortal person with Furina by separating the divine from the mortal.
3:27 wait wait wait, haven’t finished the video yet, but didn’t Mavuika tell us set about there being a 7th tribe, so most likely pyro, and it was destroyed or set like that, he could have been saved from whatever happened to them then? (Even tho he could still be from Iansan’s tribe and have another vision)
Mavuika was hinted to be from the Scions of the Canopy in the Archon quest. A lost tribe would only make sense (to me) if there were actually two which would correspond to the 8 points of the Natlan sun emblem. But there was never a hint of a missing Natlan tribe, which would be visible in some way in as an obvious empty space when the tribes are depicted. A sea of ashes could come from erupting volcanos or severe forest fires, both of which seem far more likely than the remains of a phoenix civilization.
One random thing about bennett He has always reminded me of Kenny from South Park. Both feel like the universe is intentionally trying to kill them but in a strange way they always get back up again (Bennett is never hurt fatally, Kenny never dies permanently). Later on it's revealed that Kenny was actually cursed with cthulu magic as a baby and that's why he dies so much. I can totally see a similar thing happening to bennett where his bad luck gets cerebus retconed into being from natlan Also both characters could be seen as phoenixes since they often "die" (literally in kenny's case, figuratively in bennets case) but still get up and keep fighting. I just think this is a very interesting parallel
I'm freaking out and wondering why we have Manitou (Monetoo) in Natlan rn, ik this isn't the topic of the video but have you heard anyone talking about it yet?
Maybe something bad starts happening to Bennett, like his bad luck seemingly starts getting worse and worse, putting those close to him in grave danger. Get Mona to do her Astrology magic stuff which leads to clues of Bennett connection to Natlan. Varka could even make his Debut here, helping the Traveler save Bennett.
Sorry for spoiling with my intuition but we we're wrong here, I have a theory that the way were getting pyro traveler from what shouldve been Bennet's ancient hero name. I don't know how yet, but I think there's going to be some quest with bennet where we work with him and he somehow gives us access to his ancient name
Rraly muce theory but i have another one sice fragons sovereigns get reincarnate. Maybe benet is the pyro sovereign reborn. Just like how Nuevalette did
@GenshinBane well that book did say that the next hydro sovereign will be a human, but it didn't say other dragon sovereigns wouldn't. Plus, nuevalette is like 500, and bennete is like 16-18, which means bennete could be a rhe pyro sovereign considering that prophecy about nuevalette is 1000 years old
Maybe Bennet has a special constitution that lets him not have abyssal corruption or abyssal torment like Chaska suffers from, since he was the cracked egg mentioned in the book as per your theory. This also makes the world hate him and reject him if he is half abyssal and half tevatian, you know like a hybrid or a mutation.
My friend and I have been wondering why there is no Natlan character who bears a vision similar to the element of its archon like Raiden-Kujou Sara or Zhongli-Ningguang, and watching this video made me realize that that Natlan character already exists 😂 it’s Bennett! Also, this theory is so well-thought of I do hope Bennett is the lone phoenix!
Bennett's charakter story 2 doesn't match Mare Jivari. Mare Jivari is Silent sea of Ashes where wind doesn't blow. Bennett's character story describes the place where he was found like this: "The scorching flames scalded his skin, THE DEAFENING THUNDER ALMOST RUPTURED HIS EARDRUMS, and the HOLLERING WINDS THREATENED TO RIP HIS SOUL from him." Which means place where Bennett was found was neither Windlass or silent.
This brings up a thought. What if he was the cause of the winds and such? Like we've been told in game, I think, that the remains of old gods mess with the environment, see inazuma with the Tartarasuna issues and orobashi's remains as well as in sumeru's desert and the big whirlwind there. If Bennett is a reincarnation as is theorized, it could have been that Stanley found him right as he was reincarnated thus the environment was still unstable. I'm not exactly sure how it would work, but it's a thought. 😅 But there is the other thought that the line of the wind not blowing there could be more symbolic of a place abandoned by the gods and not literally a place devoid of wind. It's a point that is up for debate until the area is actually released.
Interesting...but i also think how much that description of the Mare Jivari is true because in the Lavawalker set it describes that in the Mare Jivari the cries of the lone Phoenix could be heard which makes it not very silent. Also in the very same set it is said "The flaming sea will surely devour this arrogant young man and the sky will blow his ashes into the void" so there has got to be winds too right?
I just realized one thing, IF Bennet is native of Natlan, how he could left the Nation of Fire? We learned, finally, why we never encounter the people from Natlan in other nations: cuz the LeyLines of Natlan are weak and the people born there feel sick if they try to leave the Nation of Fire. Would that invalidate Bennet been borned in Natlan? Or am I missing something that could help him leave that place?
It's not that Natlanians (or Natlaneses, dunno) get sick, but they lose the protection/blessings of the Wayob, so anything bad that could happen to them will happen. Apparently it's one of the functions of the Leylines, but with Natlan's Leylines' state, the Wayob has to replace the Leylines for Natlan. Which is why Natlanians going outside of their country without the Wayob's authorization (like Bennet), are hit with extreme bad luck and really prone to die, as if the very world of Teyvat was rejecting them. The Wayob has to actively extend its protection to them outside of their borders and it's taxing and energy-demanding. Sorry, just a little theory of mine, don't read if not interested: This situation might also explain why the Primordial One had to plant the Irminsul in the first place (as the Leylines are Irminsul's roots): since humanity is basically an alien specie to Teyvat, maybe Teyvat's natural order tried to get rid of the first batch of humans that was created, prompting Phanes to plant the Irminsul in order to take control of said natural order and register humanity as an authorized specie in Teyvat. With Natlan's lack of Leylines, thus very low Irminsul connection, the Irminsul can't register humans born there, and so Teyvat doesn't recognise them, which is why the Wayob has to step in and take control of Natlan's natural order. This little theory would also explain why Venessa's tribe could stay alive even though they left Natlan millenias ago: they were born OUTSIDE of Natlan (unlike Bennet), and so their existences were registered by the Irminsul instead of the Wayob, which in turn prevented them to face the same lack of luck and disasters as Bennet.
Bennet can be from Natlan, but not Mare Jivari. Mare Jivari is stated multiple times to be windless place, like literally anomaly of this planet where wind does not blow. Meanwhile place where Bennet was found is stated to have howling WINDS which were damaging skin of adventurer Every time people say Bennet is from Mare Jivari everyone ignores this
The thing is though if Bennett is truly from Natlan 1. How did he leave as people weren't allowed to leave Natlan and 2. He would have a Natlan vision instead of a Mondstadt one much like how Arlechinno lives in Fontaine but she has a Snezhnaya vision.
Natlan people are allowed to leave Natlan, but they get negative consequences of doing so, such as losing their memories (most likely because the ley-lines don’t exist in Natlan) baby Bennet had no memories to lose, so it’s very possible another quirk to leaving Natlan is being cursed. Bennet HAS to be from Natlan tho, he literally has the Natlan six pointed star as his ultimate The vision borders depend on what Nation they were in when they received their vision. Not what nation they were born in. Arleccino has a Shneznayan vision because she got her vision in Shneznaya, even tho she is native to Khaneria Wanderer has Sumeru vision instead of a Inazuma one, since he got his in Sumeru Annddddd like someone already mentioned; Thoma has a Inazuma vision despite being born in Monstadt and being half monstadt himself
I always thought Bennett was an.. interesting character.. He is 'cursed' with bad luck, but that just means he might have had another path he wasnt willing to take, maybe making him have the bad luck to begin with? Also noticed he doesnt really blend in with the Characters in Mondstdat, like how the traveller doesnt blend in with anybody from this world, with Bennett just on a smaller scale?
But the question here is? He looks like a human how is he connected to a phonxe and egg if he looks like a human and survived like one yes this video answered a lot of questions but how is his connection with phonxe that strong and in the majevari he was found in a rainy and thunder place but not connected to the land of the ash witch is supposed to be filled with magma and lava and the cracked it how just how is he from a cracked egg they might be a tribe of phonxe but are they hybrid half human and half phonxe there are so many questions need to be asked and answers and these are some important ones so please consider my comment to mind and research the answers to the questions of… what is Bennett and if he is even human

what if bennet is unlucky because he didn't have the wayob's protection? the reason why natlan folks chose not to leave the nation
Its possible
Knowing Hoyo. Probably Bennet existence just to be a bad luck magnet with compensation as high end optimism

@Ayasegaki No, in the lore, there were multiple pyro archons with Murata being one of them before Mavuika became the current one
Don't be fooled by the description of fertile lands. Slopes of volcanoes have long been, despite the danger, attractive for farmers as the ashen ground can in fact provide lots of nutrients for a lush harvest.
Oooh i see that's interesting
As Indonesian I can confirm
Wasn't it said at some point, that only a few plants can grow in phlogiston-rich environment?
Pompejians can confirm 💀
Everyone gangsta until they get Mavuika and after friendship level max, her voiceline "about Bennett..." is still "unlocked after ??? Quest"

God, I want a Bennett story quest with him coming to Natlan. Like sometime after the Main story is done. I would be so stoked if this theory of him being from Natlan is confirmed.
Same!
Bennett's Mare Jivari interlude quest
bennett is really one of thoese strange charakters... hes so unlucky that every player builds him 😂. anyway. he still my nr. 1 main
Yesss i wish he gets a 5 star form, but he's already beyond that
@@GenshinBane i always wride for an 5* bennett skin 🥰
Me too haha
so unlucky he's gonna do this til he's 90
Bennett was most likely not found in the Mare Jivari, as it's described as "A sea of ashes where the wind does not blow" and the poem where it tells the story of Bennett says the adventurer had to face hollering winds, contradicting the statement about winds not blowing in the Mare Jivari
While it's also possible , maybe "where the wind does not blow" could also mean beyond the Anemo Archon's reach because Stanley says " I can hear the winds blowing in the Mare Jivari"
@@GenshinBane That could be it, but the scene shows him believing he is in the Mare Jivari and he is surprised to feel the winds blowing there, implying he didn't feel any wind when he was first there. What i believe is the cause of there being no winds in the Mare Jivari is most likely due to the abyss presence and the conflict that first created the Mare Jivari when Tenoch and the heroes fought the abyss there, at least it's what i believe. But what you said could be possible.
@@GenshinBane And just to clarify, i do believe Bennett is from Natlan, i just don't think he was found in the Mare Jivari, given the similiraties between him and Iansan, i believe he is from the Collective of Plenty and was found either inside the volcano or somewhere very close to it.
Yess the abyss is probably what causes the lack of winds there.. well i hope we get something on all this soon haha
@@BruninhPLc frankly, it just makes sense that the wind does not blow there: with all that ash lying about, it would be really bad for anyone's bronchials to traverse there if the winds were blowing - not to mention the low visibility!
And if phoenix eggs determine gender by the temperature of the egg during incubation, like alligators and turtles, the fact that his egg was cracked could be why he is male.
Ooooh thats interesting
I was watching this and thought that Bennett might be the descendant of Mavuika's sister and kinda like how Ei and Makoto are both the demon Beelzebub, but with Mavuika and her sister it would be different, Mavuika is Heborym, so her sister would be Phenex, which would mean Bennett is Phenex.
Ooooh very interesting catch
He's broken without nightsoul... I don't wanna even imagine him with it.
Ikr
we have to wait until that part of the map opens to see what will reveal about bennett, unless he visit Natlan himself.
This might be mavuikas secret since she couldn't save the Phoenix civilization nd thats the ppl capitano still yearns he could save.
Yess this is highly possible
I like this theory since fire is heavily oriented towards death and ressurection in genshin (even atea's story which you mentioned is specifically pyro, relate to death). A phoenix civilisation also seems interesting, altho I do wonder why we would have so little mention of them. Maybe in a future update ?
Bennet - " i always come back"
Bennett looks like a natlan character when he is standing next to kinich and others
True that!
I was listening to a podcast(Norse mythology:the unofficial guide) that breaks down some of the surviving texts about Nordic deities. the Fischl from The Shattered Halberd(and implicitly Flowers for Princess Fischl) is the daughter of Irmin, who for simplicity sakes we'll call the Tree Father, and who's clearly an analogue of Odin, well known for having sacrifced one of his eyes for wisdom(thus, Eyepatch).
i know i know, not about Fischl, but she's basically considered his closest, maybe only friend. another one covers Loki's association with fire. a key point there is not that he rules over it, or even uses it, just that he's repeatedly linked to it.
we've literally got the two sides of Ragnarok as adventure buddies.
Oooh this is very interesting..
@@GenshinBane definitely. i think it's one of those hints at the larger nature of the world, rather then any major secret about those two, but point stands. you could say it's analogous to having Furina partnered with Neuvilette for so long, even though they represent somewhat opposing sides (Archonhood vs Primordial being)
It's possible for Mavuika to be a member of the Scions of the Canopy, since the picture depicts Mavuika and her family members with Yumkasaurus
True that , although i would like to know why a Qucusaurus was used in the Teaser
@@GenshinBaneIf we look at Mavuika's mother , she seems to be wearing clothes of Flowers-Feather clan .
So it's possible that Mavuika's dad is from Scions of Canopy and her mother from Flower-Feather clan .
Shes from the scions of the canopy. She reminices about getting a better ancient name than burkina and then burkina talks about how they have a tribe thing that night and they both should go back to the tribe. Burkina was the scions of the canopy hero with the yumkasaur king kongamato
Also Mavuika was from Scions of canopy dendro tribe.
Yup possibly
I wanna hear what Mavuika has to say about Bennett... Because it'd be like finding a missing child of the people all grown up.
controversial opinion..
Bennet will not even be seen in Natlan cause Genshin can't make stories , unless its the main story lol
literally EVERYONE expect bennet to pop up, me included, but mihoyo loves to destroy people hope so.. XD
I can't blame you , Hoyo really do be pulling such stuff all the time
They make stories but you just don’t like them 🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@SammiSkulz true cause 90% of them suck , very bad.. and involve NPC nobody gives a crap about , aside from a couple.
Anybody who like these just have zero taste in "stories" really. their standard is so low, that they could read ingredient on a product and think its entertaining. -.-
The World quests would like a word with you......
Annnnnd so far you're right. What a missed opportunity. Mihoyo never gives old characters a spot light once you move past them in the main story. Dain is the only recurring character.
Even if Bennett is from Natlan (which would be pretty interesting), I don't think the revelation would be big or exciting. Thinking back to Kaeya and Dain interaction, yeah, we all were expecting something big, weren't we 😅
2:37 did his burst always have this effect though? Thought it was literally a circle
Yup it did
Now that we have Ororon, another abandoned Natlan Baby (now technically Bennett could've had caring parent/s and was the lone survivor of some circumstance but I digress) that could also give us a new avenue for Bennett lore. It's possible Bennett could've also been a baby born with an Incomplete Soul, which Citlali says can be considered a bad omen by some of the tribes and is probably why Ororon was abandoned... Maybe in Bennett's case the bad omen was more direct or the effects are amplified outside of Natlan explaining his bad luck?
Or, it's crackpot theory time, this is some sh¡t straight out of Xenoblade and baby Bennett died in the Mare Jivari but some form of spirit/soul entered his corpse revitalizing him while the spirit now rests within him filling in the incomplete soul like how Gunthar attempted on Ororon when the Source Mechanisim weakened his soul, maybe babies' souls are that weak at such an early age? As well the Mare Jivari, the place where the winds don't blow to carry the dead away, would have no shortage of lingering souls as the site of a battle so brutal it withered the land itself...
Now Crackpot phase 2, if 2 souls and a corpse managed to escape death that would be breaking the rules which Ronova definitely wouldn't approve of, so perhaps she is the one that's been attempting to kill Bennett all this time which is seen as bad luck appearing everywhere he goes (there's also the tidbit in other theories that imply Bennett himself is actually incredibly lucky so all the bad luck is balanced out, except for those caught in the crossfire)...
I wonder what would happen if Bennet returned to Natlan?
i swear, the lore and connections that lore crafters come up with are probably way better than anything Hoyo will do with Bennet. I want them to give us Bennet lore so bad, but that's not gonna happen. so these lore theories are my crack canon lore xDD
Haha i really hope we get dome bennett lore finally
this is the first bennet theory that makes the most sense to me and seems on par with something hoyoverse would actually come up with
I’m not one for recolours but Benny looks so good with a tan and those tattoos 😂
I HAVE A CRAZY THEORY:
Bennet is actually the human reborn from Xabalanque. Remember he was reborn from the corpse of the Pyro sovereign. He now dons a Pheonix shaped head and even ascended to godhood. Bennet is his human side reborn separate. Kinda like how Focalor was able to create a new mortal person with Furina by separating the divine from the mortal.
Woahh
Almost same theory
Great video! I'm also gery excited about upcoming natlan quests
Thanks! I cant wait for 5.1 haha
i really hope that if he is from natlan you can charge his skill 4 times instead of 3 kinda like kinich where you can use his skill twice
That would be such an upgrade
3:27 wait wait wait, haven’t finished the video yet, but didn’t Mavuika tell us set about there being a 7th tribe, so most likely pyro, and it was destroyed or set like that, he could have been saved from whatever happened to them then? (Even tho he could still be from Iansan’s tribe and have another vision)
Yess that could be possible except that those tribe members had red hair
@@GenshinBane Diluc 👀👀👀 😂😂
Meanwhile diluc : RETRIBUTION!!!
Also Imagine if Venti have Jean, Zhongli Ningguang, Raiden Yae, Nahida Alhatham, Furina Focalors and in Natlan Mavuika and Bennete
Hahaha wow
I have never applauded a chef for their meal, but 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank u for cooking chef! That was delicious.
Thank you! Looking forward to serving you more😁
Mavuika was hinted to be from the Scions of the Canopy in the Archon quest. A lost tribe would only make sense (to me) if there were actually two which would correspond to the 8 points of the Natlan sun emblem. But there was never a hint of a missing Natlan tribe, which would be visible in some way in as an obvious empty space when the tribes are depicted. A sea of ashes could come from erupting volcanos or severe forest fires, both of which seem far more likely than the remains of a phoenix civilization.
I can see this happening, especially considering how many loose threads we have in mondstad
Ikr!
One random thing about bennett
He has always reminded me of Kenny from South Park. Both feel like the universe is intentionally trying to kill them but in a strange way they always get back up again (Bennett is never hurt fatally, Kenny never dies permanently). Later on it's revealed that Kenny was actually cursed with cthulu magic as a baby and that's why he dies so much. I can totally see a similar thing happening to bennett where his bad luck gets cerebus retconed into being from natlan
Also both characters could be seen as phoenixes since they often "die" (literally in kenny's case, figuratively in bennets case) but still get up and keep fighting. I just think this is a very interesting parallel
I'm freaking out and wondering why we have Manitou (Monetoo) in Natlan rn, ik this isn't the topic of the video but have you heard anyone talking about it yet?
Hmm i myself haven't thought about and it is quite mysterious...
I hope Benny appears on the 5.1 Natlan archonquest
I doubt ... but future versions quite possible
Now the question how will Bennett arrive to Natlan? 🤔🤔🤔
By exploding from his burst XD
It would be a funny way to introduce Alice too, she just yeets him to Celestia and he lands in Natlan/j
Maybe something bad starts happening to Bennett, like his bad luck seemingly starts getting worse and worse, putting those close to him in grave danger. Get Mona to do her Astrology magic stuff which leads to clues of Bennett connection to Natlan. Varka could even make his Debut here, helping the Traveler save Bennett.
We all alredy know: He's a 5* Car, the co-Archon
Hahaha yea
He is the secret love child of Xabalanque and the Silver dragon aka the Sage
I wish hahaa
Sorry for spoiling with my intuition but we we're wrong here, I have a theory that the way were getting pyro traveler from what shouldve been Bennet's ancient hero name. I don't know how yet, but I think there's going to be some quest with bennet where we work with him and he somehow gives us access to his ancient name
Hmmm lets wait and see
@@GenshinBane indeed I can't wait
the end with the stranger things music made it so funny, awesome theory man
Thank you!! Glad you liked it
If this theory is confirm by hoyo themselves later on, my respect for then will raise soo much cuz they planned this from the very beginning
Dude, i just wanna know who throw the rock at bennet?
Rraly muce theory but i have another one sice fragons sovereigns get reincarnate. Maybe benet is the pyro sovereign reborn. Just like how Nuevalette did
Oooh very interesting... But isnt Neuvillette the only sovereign reincarnating as a human? Others should be reincarnating as dragons itself right?
@GenshinBane well that book did say that the next hydro sovereign will be a human, but it didn't say other dragon sovereigns wouldn't. Plus, nuevalette is like 500, and bennete is like 16-18, which means bennete could be a rhe pyro sovereign considering that prophecy about nuevalette is 1000 years old
But wasnt that only about the Hydro Dragon?
I think you need to practice your English spelling before making theories.
@MrMonklad yeah it was more of I was typing too fast and pressed the wrong letters
Maybe Bennet has a special constitution that lets him not have abyssal corruption or abyssal torment like Chaska suffers from, since he was the cracked egg mentioned in the book as per your theory. This also makes the world hate him and reject him if he is half abyssal and half tevatian, you know like a hybrid or a mutation.
I heard from leaks we’ll be getting a free benny from an archon quest, but there’s a chance that might be wrong, since it’s a leak and all..
Oh wow
Well I think it will be more impossible now that he is not from Natlan with these enough evidences it makes more sence
Ikr cant wait for him to enter into Natlan
But Bennett has no feathers! And he can't fly, either.
Hahaha XD
at the end I began to wonder, who gave him the vision then ?
Maybe he’s very unlucky
because the wayob’s protection doesn’t stretch outside natlan
True
I thought Bennet was found at the top of dragonspine?
In lore also state people of natlan cant leave natlan maybe its the curse why Bennett is unlucky
Quite possible!
I usually don't care for many Genshin Theories, but I actually think this one is not only interesting, but could actually be true
@@catpoke9557 I haven't really seen to many, but that sounds really interesting. I'll have to look into some
My friend and I have been wondering why there is no Natlan character who bears a vision similar to the element of its archon like Raiden-Kujou Sara or Zhongli-Ningguang, and watching this video made me realize that that Natlan character already exists 😂 it’s Bennett! Also, this theory is so well-thought of I do hope Bennett is the lone phoenix!
Thank you! Im hope he is the phoenix as well!
That's because they hinted at a future storyline where Xbalanque resurrects and helps us fight some ancient evil that has resurrected or something.
Obsessed w the natlan bennett edit💖
I WANT THAT BIRD
Bennett's charakter story 2 doesn't match Mare Jivari.
Mare Jivari is Silent sea of Ashes where wind doesn't blow.
Bennett's character story describes the place where he was found like this:
"The scorching flames scalded his skin, THE DEAFENING THUNDER ALMOST RUPTURED HIS EARDRUMS, and the HOLLERING WINDS THREATENED TO RIP HIS SOUL from him."
Which means place where Bennett was found was neither Windlass or silent.
This brings up a thought. What if he was the cause of the winds and such?
Like we've been told in game, I think, that the remains of old gods mess with the environment, see inazuma with the Tartarasuna issues and orobashi's remains as well as in sumeru's desert and the big whirlwind there.
If Bennett is a reincarnation as is theorized, it could have been that Stanley found him right as he was reincarnated thus the environment was still unstable.
I'm not exactly sure how it would work, but it's a thought. 😅
But there is the other thought that the line of the wind not blowing there could be more symbolic of a place abandoned by the gods and not literally a place devoid of wind.
It's a point that is up for debate until the area is actually released.
Interesting...but i also think how much that description of the Mare Jivari is true because in the Lavawalker set it describes that in the Mare Jivari the cries of the lone Phoenix could be heard which makes it not very silent.
Also in the very same set it is said "The flaming sea will surely devour this arrogant young man and the sky will blow his ashes into the void" so there has got to be winds too right?
Okay, but Bennett with slightly darker skin tone actually looks good 👀😹 I didn't expect that
Hahaha
Nevermind that Bennett’s specialty is healing. Resurrection = healing. Yeahhhh….
Yess
I just realized one thing, IF Bennet is native of Natlan, how he could left the Nation of Fire? We learned, finally, why we never encounter the people from Natlan in other nations: cuz the LeyLines of Natlan are weak and the people born there feel sick if they try to leave the Nation of Fire. Would that invalidate Bennet been borned in Natlan? Or am I missing something that could help him leave that place?
He is the "phoenix's" descendant, a last hope of his kind (maybe)
Just re read the cricket's stuff man
It's not that Natlanians (or Natlaneses, dunno) get sick, but they lose the protection/blessings of the Wayob, so anything bad that could happen to them will happen. Apparently it's one of the functions of the Leylines, but with Natlan's Leylines' state, the Wayob has to replace the Leylines for Natlan. Which is why Natlanians going outside of their country without the Wayob's authorization (like Bennet), are hit with extreme bad luck and really prone to die, as if the very world of Teyvat was rejecting them. The Wayob has to actively extend its protection to them outside of their borders and it's taxing and energy-demanding.
Sorry, just a little theory of mine, don't read if not interested:
This situation might also explain why the Primordial One had to plant the Irminsul in the first place (as the Leylines are Irminsul's roots): since humanity is basically an alien specie to Teyvat, maybe Teyvat's natural order tried to get rid of the first batch of humans that was created, prompting Phanes to plant the Irminsul in order to take control of said natural order and register humanity as an authorized specie in Teyvat. With Natlan's lack of Leylines, thus very low Irminsul connection, the Irminsul can't register humans born there, and so Teyvat doesn't recognise them, which is why the Wayob has to step in and take control of Natlan's natural order. This little theory would also explain why Venessa's tribe could stay alive even though they left Natlan millenias ago: they were born OUTSIDE of Natlan (unlike Bennet), and so their existences were registered by the Irminsul instead of the Wayob, which in turn prevented them to face the same lack of luck and disasters as Bennet.
@@joyhammer3148 Hol' up you might actually be cooking.
Oh damn that is one epic theory! You cooked :D @joyhammer3148
I would love it if that came up in the game! 👏
Same here!
Why then Bennett don't have any vehicle. Every natlan characters hv ???
I need Jaguar Wright's conspiracy theory on genshin
3:22 that’s oraran now
Hahaha
Bennet can be from Natlan, but not Mare Jivari.
Mare Jivari is stated multiple times to be windless place, like literally anomaly of this planet where wind does not blow.
Meanwhile place where Bennet was found is stated to have howling WINDS which were damaging skin of adventurer
Every time people say Bennet is from Mare Jivari everyone ignores this
my takeaway from that quest too.
He's always the unlucky one outside of Natlan cause he doesn't have the protection of the wayob?
Maybe
Imagine if this is the reason he is so good
That would be epic
Imagine the hero set on Bennett
Epic
I'm so happy for my boy!
SEE i told y'all that this is his TRUE IDENTITY (I'm a benny main so PLEASE HOYO MAKE THIS CANON)
Pls do hoyo!!
The thing is though if Bennett is truly from Natlan 1. How did he leave as people weren't allowed to leave Natlan and 2. He would have a Natlan vision instead of a Mondstadt one much like how Arlechinno lives in Fontaine but she has a Snezhnaya vision.
Thoma has something to say...
Natlan people are allowed to leave Natlan, but they get negative consequences of doing so, such as losing their memories (most likely because the ley-lines don’t exist in Natlan) baby Bennet had no memories to lose, so it’s very possible another quirk to leaving Natlan is being cursed.
Bennet HAS to be from Natlan tho, he literally has the Natlan six pointed star as his ultimate
The vision borders depend on what Nation they were in when they received their vision. Not what nation they were born in.
Arleccino has a Shneznayan vision because she got her vision in Shneznaya, even tho she is native to Khaneria
Wanderer has Sumeru vision instead of a Inazuma one, since he got his in Sumeru
Annddddd like someone already mentioned; Thoma has a Inazuma vision despite being born in Monstadt and being half monstadt himself
I always thought Bennett was an.. interesting character.. He is 'cursed' with bad luck, but that just means he might have had another path he wasnt willing to take, maybe making him have the bad luck to begin with? Also noticed he doesnt really blend in with the Characters in Mondstdat, like how the traveller doesnt blend in with anybody from this world, with Bennett just on a smaller scale?
Imagine bennett getting a natlan buff
Peak
But the question here is? He looks like a human how is he connected to a phonxe and egg if he looks like a human and survived like one yes this video answered a lot of questions but how is his connection with phonxe that strong and in the majevari he was found in a rainy and thunder place but not connected to the land of the ash witch is supposed to be filled with magma and lava and the cracked it how just how is he from a cracked egg they might be a tribe of phonxe but are they hybrid half human and half phonxe there are so many questions need to be asked and answers and these are some important ones so please consider my comment to mind and research the answers to the questions of… what is Bennett and if he is even human
The looks can be debated because it could just be his human form due to him not reaching his full powers
And Dehya ? Honestly she’s weird , what it is about all those abandoned kids in genshin lol
Poor kids including Timmy
😂 She was picked around by her father too
