- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 เม.ย. 2024
- My interpretation and explanation of the "The Song Burning in the Embers" Full Animated Short • "The Song Burning in t... .
Most of Arlecchino's past is still shrouded in mystery. Her curse, the black hands and red eyes, whether she's a human or not, a neo human, an experiment or a hilichurl. This animated short reveals a bit of her past in the orphanage before she became a Fatui Harbinger.
I hope you joy the video :D

Crucabena literally reciting how each and everyone of the kids will end up killing each other
The orphaned kids listening to her bedtime story:
😆😃😄
What a creepy way of foreshadowing their grim future 😥
They probably didn't know that they would need to k1ll each other for it
Ahh yess
Genshin itself feels like that bedtime story, beautiful and cute from first glance with very disturbing underlying stories.
I mean there are a lot of disturbing and dark themes in children bedtime stories, especially where I grew up. Children just never really notices it
Btw it was confirmed that clervie is the biological daughter of the previous knave, this didn’t translate over to the English version but it was in the Chinese version
and Japanese version too
first the whole Enigmata thing in hsr and now this?
Bro is the translator
Thanks for the confirmation. Can't believe Crucabena didn't care for her own daughter
So when I understood correctly
Former Knave: warm from the outside but cruel and sadistic inside.
New Knave: strict and cold from the outside but somewhat caring from the inside.
I wanted to get her already but now I want her even more.
And i guess she call herself as father because she wants to be the opposite of the mother?🤔
btw its caring not carrying !
How could former arle be cruel and sadistic. Poor girl was literally burying her dead spider :(
@@playmaker619 how could one who holds her pet dear and even hele a funeral for it be bad towards her own children, right?
@@playmaker619 I meant with former Arlechino the one who had the name before her AKA the Mother
I don't think she wants to give all three siblinvs the title - just Lyney. Isn’t that why Lyney never involves Lynette and Freminet/didn't tell them about Arleccino's plans because he knew his siblings would protest? Like, that's been his lore for a while now, no?
Who is even Lyne? What I know is Lynet
@@weslibravoWhat?
@@mooniixa who is Lyney? I never heard that name
@@weslibravo Lyney is Lynette's brother? Have you complete Fontaine's story?
@@weslibravo if u are trolling it's not funny tho, or perhaps are u a new player?
I think Clervie killed herself because Peruere did not want to fight her, and also she looks surprised
The way they looked I believe Clearview threw herself on peruere’s sword since the latter was clearly standing still
@@dragonfable66the evils of auto-correct
The old Knave put on a kind front when in reality she only saw children as tools while Arlecchino puts on a cold front when in fact she cares the most
1:45 The blonde girl with bulle fruit made me think this story is indeed somehow linked to the princess Marcotte as theories say. How every plant had a kingdom in the tale and here we have girl with bulle fruit and mother + daughter with lumidouce bell. Seems like some king of parallel, there must be some connection!
She beat a fully grown Harbringer as a kid💀. Not just any Harbringer but one of the top 5 too.
Probably because of the curse and her intense hatred toward Crucabena.
We can’t be sure. I don’t think arlechhino inherited the rank from the previous harbringer. It might be that it’s perue who is strong. Not the previous harbringer.
@@mast3rbang Yeah, I don't think there has been any statement saying that the previous knave was as strong as the current one or that the title comes with a power that elevates you to the same rank in power as the previous holder.
We dont know that Crucabena was the 4th that time and tbh being the 4th and die to a kid ? 💀 fr ?
It is most likely that when she beat her when she's still a kid, the previous Knave was in a lower rank. Then after she took over, she continued to climb up to her current position while growing up to adult
Also at the beginning you can see a weird doctor plushie. I'm sure this represents Dottore, the previous "mother" is said to have let Dottore experiment on the children
I think Arlecchino wants to be opposite to what Crucabena stood for.
Taking care of of the orphans as their "Father" instead of "Mother".
Asking every orphan to consider every member as their own family (even if the relation is not by blood).
Arlecchino even ended that cruel Battle royale between orphans for choosing one "king".
If we go by this pattern then that Fight between Peruere and Crucabena was not suppose to happen. Crucabena was going to teach Peruere how to become the "King" but Peruere rejected it and ended up killing her.
To elect the New King of HoTH instead of Battle Royal among children Arlecchino did the opposite instead and have her children fight her and that's what we see in Trailer.
Welcome to Fontaine, we have:
- Robots
- Melusines
- Fonta
- TRAUMA!
Trauma isnt exclusive to Fontaine lol
dont forget:
- substance abuse
- abduction
-A crap ton of orphans, like really, parents die like flies in Fontaine, basically one in three child is an orphan
- human trafficking
need Lord Shaoji for Natlan Story 💀
Basically Arle/Peruere is the opposite of Crucabena, she's harsh but deep down she cares about the Orphans, Different than Crucabena's Motives who's completely f up lol
Hope she explained everything in 4.6 later with details too 😆
I feel like she really don't want them to experience how she grew up (especially being set up against her own sisters and brothers) but she don't really know how to express love or compassion so she'd rather be exempt of emotion than fake it.
@@nawenyxar4378 she basically what Anti hero means in Genshin
Lol. She's also the same as the previous one. On the surface, she "cares" for the children, but in the end, they're still just a tool for her to do her command. And she doesn't care even if they die on their mission, as long as her command is fulfilled. If they disobey, then they're simply killed and replaced. That's how she "cares" for her children
@@IanDavid01 after 4.6, you probably wants to change your statement....
@@KazunariNazuna really? You already saw the leak? Because what I say, is from the recent in game timeline and I see no things such as "care". The most "cares" thing that I saw was when she said "we often hold barbecue party" but then it followed with basically "yeah, eat up and enjoy this moments because some of these children are gonna die and won't be joining us in the next barbecue party". Which is practically the same as the other Knave, that raises children with care, then uses them as tools till they're broken
Crucabena reminds me a lot of Babel. Both act as a loving surrogate mother to their daughter (Arle in Cruc's, Jeht in Babel's) but secretly manipulate them and toss them aside whenever needed.
Both were killed by that same “daughter” as well
Both also had reddish hair..
*(**0:40**)* It should be noted that Crucabena being both the former "Knave" and the former "Arlecchino" has only been stated in the English translation.
In the original Chinese, she has only been confirmed to be the former "Knave" (仆人) and has never actually explicitly been referred to as "Arlecchino" (阿蕾奇诺), meaning it's possible that she had a different name as a Harbinger.
crucabena could have been her harbinger name
itojin
Seems pretty important nowadays when speculating on lore, to check the Chinese and Japanese version
@@rdxzero Why the Japanese version? That one's a translation too, and just as vulnerable to translation mistakes.
@@TeachMeBert language is closer to CN than EN.
I haven't found any gaps in lore from CN->JP so JP is good enough for me.
Arlecchino can be said to be a villain, but at least after all she is still a person who knows how to love and care for others, it make me love father a lot more after this animated short video
Feels like anti hero to me
Anti-Hero
What does Lmao's father have to do with it? I haven't seen the news where a mother raped her one-month-old daughter/son, but fathers (it hurts me to call them that) do it.
@@_8ami8_what
Cant say a villain yet, sure she might be against traveler initially, but might become somewhat of an alley shortly.
Noo just when I thought it couldn't get sadder you hit me with the Narzissenkreuz ost😭😭
Frr that ost goes hard af🗣️🔥
wait I thought I was the only one!! the soundtracks of it hit hard all the time
Now that I think about it, the area were the Arlechino boss battle takes place, looks like what ruins could remain of the structure in which she fought the former Father 🤔
I was thinking that as well, perhaps that has something to do with how she killed the knave there and how maybe one of her children will "kill" her there as well
it's literally said in the video
@helloneighbour2408 my dumbass commented my reply before I watched the vid😔
@@1L1KEP0TAT0ES Same here...
I like where she used to have a pet spider, and in the 4.6 trailer, alot of spider motif or theme resembles her skills like the web and limbs behind her harbinger form
Wriothesley and Peruere would have a mutual understanding if they got to know each other.
4.1 when Traveller in meropide, wriotesley want lyney to contact the"Father"
@@krumi_hazuki1440 not just that. Wriothesley's story quest is the main reason I'm saying it (won't spoil it just in case).
@@shoyuramenoff i already watch it tho not until end but after wrio confrontation and past reveal so i know your meaning
While i think Wriothesley and Arlecchino potentially, theoretically could reach an agreement through mutual understanding from their experience I don't think Arlecchino would do it.
Mainly bcs there's Childe involved at the time. Arlecchino still was representing Snezhnaya even though she's a Fontainian. If she agreed with whatever Wriothesley's cooking she will looked at as favoring Fontaine over her own fellow Harbinger (and I think Wriothesley knows he can sweet-talk Arlecchino into a deal), she also can disagree but then she have to give Wriothesley a good reason as to why.
By not coming to the siblings' rescue Arlecchino did a good political move in Archon Quest.
indeed
Also she don't want siblings to fight each other for the title. She wants them to fight together side by side to defeat her. I believe it's a training for them
... I really should be watching all these animations. They're so high quality. Also, I believe that Arlecchino became a Father, because she did not want to be like the Mother, but she still intend to keep training the childrens and make them strong. The biggest difference here is instead of causing them to kill each other to become stronger than the others, she wants them to work together to defeat a stronger opponent instead hence the 3 working together to fight her.
**flashbacks in The Promised Neverland**
I think I know the place where Arlechino fought with "mother", try going to Mont Esus East, on the mini map it looks like a circular building, if you go to the place it has been destroyed,
YES I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS
Yes! Saw a twitter post that shows exact similar sight and surroundings. The only difference is that now it's blown up.
We know that the House of the Hearth is in Fontaine, it's not a maybe. The flowers, Lumindous Blue, are Fontaine flowers of 'farewell', the architecture and nature matches Fontaine, plus the culture of patisserie (Like Furina's fondness for tea and cake etc) and storytimes (like the one in Freminet's event) are, in Genshin, most associated with Fontaine.
Plus it's not like Arlecchino moved the operations to Fontaine following becomming Father. It's all based in Fontaine (past and present).
I never knew we can remember the lore of Arlecchino.
Really excited for this. Seems like instead of fighting eachother to become the king, Peruere's tradition is different where it's her children that fights her to be the king.
The cat is cooking.
Someone already found the location of the last fight that got destroyed. Obviously it's on Fontaine but on the edge of the map
Always adore this animation short and this edit showcase her entire characterization so well
Crucabena had that anime dead mom hairstyle
Im always waiting for catwithbluehat to post a summary of the genshin lore and etc posts to know more about it freely and catwithbluehat is the best explainer i love his vids so much
I was waiting for your video
keep it up!
i"m still waiting for penacony 2.1 storyline
Same, i need those to be discussed
Yeah, its been too long
I am trying to complete it but it's taking way longer than I thought. I just hope I don't release it after special program.
Headset penacony 2.1 storyline came out three weeks ago.
@@tyriqgreen9487 obviously they mean not 2.1 itself, but Cat's review of it
I got chills when it said we might see clervie. I saw that girl on the version preview screen and I completely forgot about her in 3 days thank you for showing that pic again that would be awesome to have clervie tell us about the new knaves story a bit more
I think the one Freminet was hiding is Clervie, and arlecchino has been searching her all this time. Maybe remuria has ghoste like inazuma, a place where clervie still exists.
this makes more sense now im even more excited for ver 4.6 even tho i cant do the quest due to my sumeru archon quest😅
I think Arlecchino is testing the three siblings to see if they can survive without her in the future and maybe run the house of the hearth
It's strongly agreed/speculated that the previous House of the Hearth, the place where Peruere defeated Crucabena is the ruins in Mont Esus East, some people already did a side by side comparison of the ruins in mont esus east and the scene where the previous HoTH blew up
You forgot to mention, Crucabena has the death hairstyle 😂
It was one thing that Clervie befriended Peruere and the idea she got into a fight with Crucabena as she does not wish to become King if it means killing her. Another is the implication that Clervie is Crucabena's actual daughter and that would mean she had for a while knew about what her mother was really like.
The tradition of king is still there with the difference being instead of fighting each other the three siblings would fight her instead. Of course the three siblings are upset about it not wishing to have to kill the person who gave them a life and home. I can once again imagine Hotaru/Lumine would intervene and would make stopping Arlecchino and saving the siblings something personal.
Am I the only one seeing Dottore in the beginning as the bat with Dottore's mask and the doctors outfit? it may explain the syringe in the middle - I bet he ran experiments on the children of the house...
How do one know know that Peruere is the new head of the House of Hearth?
When it became 'ap-parent' she is their 'Father' 🤡
*sigh*
Cyno your jokes are losing their **spark**
There's the door.
No wonder cyno got a second SQ
bro-
Badum tsss 🥁
In the children story,all of them are rabbits,while there's a bat in rabbit's clothing. Fatui perhaps!?
That's totally Dottore lmao
@@Shiva-bi9inoh shit, probably a segment of his? Maybe he kept watch and had an influence on the mother in having the house have these death battle of kids trigger something in baby Arle?
Actually, I was wondering if Dottore has some kind of connection to Arlecchino's curse! An orphanage full of kids with a cold, uncaring "Mother" at the helm combined with a mad scientist who's been confirmed to use children as test subjects truly feels like a match made in the pits of the Abyss, wouldn't you say?
@@gachagamer536 Honestly all things he would do lmao, especially considering the shit he got up to with Scara.
@@Shiva-bi9in Right? I hope we have a civil war with the Fatui tbh. I don't think the Tsarista is a mastermind, it's just that her harbingers have too much power and influence with their own agendas and maybe it'll be another Shogun and Tri-commission where Archon is so hyperfocused on a goal they forgot their people.
On the bright side, she genuinely actually loves them, ik her own way
found where Father fought the harbinger (Mother): South part of Mount Esus East, near the waterfall. There's a ruin there (if you open the map, the ruins shape is circle)
if you look closely at Arlecchino's Boss location, it actually resembles the old house of hearth that she blew up when killing Mother. the shape of the ruins or whatever's left resemble an inverted triangle, like something blew up from within
Holy! The area where the previous harbinger has fallen is somewhere on Mount Esus next to the waterfall which it can be seen on the animation as well and so is the area of that place. Theres also a ruin on that same spot which took over the fight
Thanks
When we most needed you, you return \o/
Everyday i love her more and more
Some people actually managed to pin point the location of (suposedly) the orphanage, with waterfall and everything, we could already go there in 4.1. It's right beside a local legend (who is a fatui operative), just follow the destroyed Callas aquabus line and to the left of it there is a circular ruins (visible from the mini map) beside a waterfall, there are many fatui closeby and even a fatui camp
I think they're fighting her because Freminet did something against Arlecinno's orders and Lyney is refusing to let her punish him. She says something about since if he has different ideas, then he should become the next king.
MY HEART IS JUST ACHING PLEASE NO.
Here is something to take note off, it appears the Knave Harbinger whoever gets into that position is required to be from Fontaine, the whole King fighting each other culture in the orphanage only applies to Fontaine orphans and not any other House of Heart children can participate since we have seen other House of Heart members outside fontaine who quiet possibly we can suspect they are not from fontaine but are still members of the Orphanage, but they are disqualified of ever leading the House of Hearth.
1:45 i’m sobbing 😭
If you look closely, the final fight took place near by Meropide
The place where the fight took place is already on the Fontaine map.
Yeah, and it's even full of Fatui
I remember reading a manhwa exactly kinda this a long time ago. Basically this evil person raised a bunch of children and made them fight against one another for the stronger one to become heir or smthing like that
Also what's interesting is in the short, we can see scara standing beside pierro, which in the altered history, scara never joined the fatui.
I think that it’s just supposed to be a genuine story on what happened that’s outside of Irminsul tampering
Well, it still happened in the past. People just don't remember now.
Scara did join the Fatui. It happened. What got erased was people's memories, not the actual event.
Clervie is not injured because she was fighting her Mother, She was injured cause she won the battle against other Orphanage. Thats why Clervie and Arlecchino is the last standing who fight in the end before mother
They mean she was injured as child while fighting with her mother
The music in the background is neath the fountain and dream anamnesis for those who are wondering 😊
I think that the pyro archon will have to be a support but with a big twist. The pyro archon would somehow be an on field support, like maybe she would do the attacks of your teammmates or she would appear on field as a construct and fly over the battlefield. That would solve the problem with your favorite character being off field while not being a dps because we have too much dps-es.
yes the fight was indeed in Fontaine its the broken Broken building in just south of Waterfall which is in of "mont esus east area" (Fontaine)
fun fact the place where it takes place can be accessed in game as of now
They say the orphange was in mt essin. Near the local legend.
2:56 - Title of King doesn't mean Peruere's gonna pass the title of Knave. It was said in the trailer that only 1 out of all orphans will be "King". It does not state that the "mother" or "father" included over that fight.
Wait if clervie reincarnated as a melusine or something and we get to see more in her story quest of father and as catinthebluehat said what if the curse helps her in combat aswell as in the live stream when they were explaining her bond of life mechanic they said " she is as ruthless to herself as she is to her enemies " maybe thats her "curse" working in combat
I think they will repeat the fight for king thing once again. And the Traveler with some help from Clervie spirit would go, "We don't do that shit here".
These ruins already exist in the game, they are located northwest of the fontaine near a waterfall near Mount Esus
In one of Lyney’s voice lines it says he knows he will become the next ‘King’ (which we already knew) however, he tells us, the traveler, to not tell Freminet and Lynette.
This means Arlecchino probably has no intention of giving the title to all 3 of them, maybe Fremi and Lynette just wanted to help Lyney in the fight against Arlecchino?
It's worth mentioning that the location of the final fight bears a striking resemblance to the ruins where the Experimental Field Generator boss is fought. I'm not sure if it is the excat place, but it would be interesting if the Fontaine Research Institute was somehow related to the House of the Hearth's operations, or if the location was just repurposed for testing after it got obliterated.
It isn't the exact same place as the actual location shown in this animation is actually on the current map and people have found it. It seems to be the place we will also fight Arle in her boss fight as we saw in the 4.6 trailer and livestream.
In the scene where she doing the funeral for her spider the black thing on her hand seem to spread a bit, I wonder if this her curse and what cause it to spread to the current arlecchino we see now
No wonder why Arlecchino likes cakes so much now, she even brought some for Furina on their meeting 😂
Clervie is actually previous Knave's biological daughter. This was in the CN voice line, somehow in EN they miss this part.
Who else thought Clervie looks like a young version of Asta?
u forgot her spider form as boss aka her delusion form and the spider threads from the spider she buried at the start
This is actually a destroyed building in Mount Esus East
Watching this short movie reminds me with Yokusoku no Neverland.
woah
Still waiting for the Penacony 2.1 analysis video
Blud got yahiko treatment
Where does you get the name of the Mother and Clervie? I seems missed it
STAN ARLECCHINO
I feel like instead the child of killing each other in house of heart it like about working as a team the king for now i think it might about the leader who can lead the team and protect their team
2:32 Or rather, the final feast.
I have Lyney and in one of his voice lines he says that Father wanted him to be the next King of the house. Not the three siblings. But maybe Lyney would have a solo duel with her? Since Arrichillo had one with her mother. Idk
Nice song
Does anyone know the music played in the background?
Probably the house make everyone fight each other until one left and he/she became a high ranked fatui officers aka King. Arlecchino end up as next knave after killing the mother. She probably fake her own death here or probably really dead and calmly passed away. No way she let those 3 ascending into a harbinger or continue the orphanage
So technically she is still a mother for the orphans but treats like a harsh father.
to combat her "caring ang loving" mother, peruere became a "cold and strict" father.
So essentially,a cold and strict mother with a heart of gold?....i wonder if the " father" inspiration come from someone,pierro perhaps?
@@mythzel898bet2 this is my assumption but when we think about parents. A mother is tend to be more warm and caring but a father tends to be more cold and strict. So when arlercchino despises the warm and caring mother, she becomes unlike her mother so much that the kids addresses her as father.
@@akira8393 true,but when i think of a father,its more like thors from Vinland saga if you know that series,or kratos with atreus.
Giving Promised Neverland arena battle, king of the hill vibes
0:20 it's not new area, actually You can Visit the ruin on the video, it's Located on Mont Esus East, ruin near Local legend
In the fight Crucabena summons some water weapon or smth does that mean she has hydro powers?
aight lets see...
signora is dead
balladeer is reformed
tartaglia does whatever tf he wants, and is traveller's friend
arlecchino looks like she's either going to die or be reformed as well
bro at this rate half the harbingers are gonna be gone by the time we get to snezhnaya
"Arlecchino gonna Die".
You....haven't been paying attention to the Next Banner have you?
She doesn't look necessarily evil, most of them don't. I guess we'll be on neutral terms with her just like we are with Tartaglia.
@@Strykerx31 This honestly doesn't mean much. Honkai Impact 3rd has dead playable characters. It's entirely possible Genshin could do that as well at some point, especially when the story starts getting more serious.
@@123leyang321 Yeah, but Genshin Impact wants to focus more on The Continuity Side of things, otherwise they need to tell us a damn good reason why Character A is Dead, but Character A is in a Bed room in my Serenitea Pot, ESPECIALLY since they have comments regarding how they like it in here.
@@123leyang321 hi3 has dead playable chars, but one thing I'm concerned is that they are playable BEFORE or AFTER their deaths?
so ashikais theory ab us missing another harbinger is correct? i don’t remember if her theory was connected to this, but it seems she was right.
May I know who is the kid in the end of the trailer?
maybe Crucabena seeded hate for Peruere on her daughter and made her fight against Peruere for her "love", or "mother" simply said that she loved Peruere more and that was the reason for the fight
"wolf in the sheep clothing" according tataglia "childe" ajax
lemeow
Guys father is just a title she put her self because she hates a lot her mother please don't get anything wrong "DON'T LISINTN TO THE FANDOM"
fandom is so toxic
Yep. I can understand this story on a deeper level, except I'm the opposite. I grew up thinking my father should love me just as much as my Mom did. But all I ever got (and still get) is a cold, uncaring man towards his daughter. I still don't know if he truly loves me or if deep down inside he just doesn't care. When I saw the part where Arlecchino called herself 'Father' instead of 'Mother', that was her rebelling against the concept of what she knew as a mother figure. So, she didn't take down the previous 'Father' to get the title. That actually goes against the reason why she called herself 'Father'. She took the previous *'Knave'* down and her title comes from the fact that, as I said, she didn't want to be that unloving 'Mother' she and the other orphans knew all too well.
@@LunaWildebecause she hates her mother a lot so she don't wanna called as mother
Think her mother is true evil
The good thing is current opera House is hold by real caring mother & no one kid die
You may know leny lenette & freminent
1:14 : likely not.
I think Peruere is the favorite child of "mother" : she is the most skilled, the one destinate to become "king".
