I LOVE Sara. She's such a dork underneath her warrior woman exterior. And I really liked the scene between her and the Shogun. She was really embarrassed about looking so childish so she abandoned the statue, but Ei figures out what happened and pretty much ordered the Traveler to send another statue to her, thus also saving face for Sara. Very cultural.
@@tommynobaka Use simple words I believe Dork means Stupid, Jerk, Foolish person Or is it Socially Awkward, clumsy Goofy means Foolish, Harmlessly strange?
@@desertdust777 goofy is used to describe someone as funny or weird it doesnt mean its bad it can have a negative or positive tone, So does dork, in this case they are using dork as a positive tone, its describing someone as endearing or awkward,
Sara's story is so overlooked by the whole community, we never paid attention to her story. She has one of the most tragic backstories as a child in the game, Thank you Catwithbluehat for bringing her story to notice!
sara simps would know hehe. even in ayatos voiceline about her, he mentions old man kujou taking in sara as if shes supposed to be an asset for the clan
No it's Mitake Narukami Nushi no Mikoto Oogosho-sama Zou Man I need to write down the name it's too long Edit: I just realize there's no 'no' after Oogosho-sama it's 御建鳴神主尊大御所様
I really wanted to know what Sara was going to say to Kazuha. I know it was about his friend, but i wanted to hear the apology or something else related to it all the same. Their interaction was so sweet and understanding of one another.
@@sundalosketch4769 tbh kazuha's friend was the one who challenge her to a duel before the throne because he wants to face the shogun, fully understand what's going to happen. ofc she could dishonor his wish by rejecting it and simply take his vision away. However i think kazuha's friend would prefer that she accepted his challenge, and kazuha fully understood this as well.
@@sundalosketch4769 well if Sara lost, Shogun would have done the same thing with her because orders must be done. Losing in a battle in a samurai mindset is not as bad as modern people think it is.
@@jk1190 well if he had won the duel, he'd basically murdered Sara as his ambition of seeing the mnh needs someone to get killed. the mnh is a punishment, so it's either him or Sara who needs to die for him to see that define act
I like that Sara felt she needed to apologize, only for Kazuha to reveal he had never held it against her in the first place. Kazuha is, at heart, a samurai, and his friend's death was as honourable as they get. In the same vein, Sara's victory in the duel was also honourable. It makes sense for him not to harbour any ill-will towards her, in fact I'd say that makes him strong and honourable in his own right. I have a deep respect for both Kazuha and Sara, they are incredible individuals of strong character, bold in word and deed. On the topic of Kazuha, I believe he is the epitome of a warrior-monk. His martial prowess is matched only by his humility. He has learned to live a life without worldly vanity, and thrives with a kind of freedom most characters don't have. He is a certain embodiment of the ideal of freedom.
I've always liked Sara. It's true that in the initial Inazuma trailer, she looked just like a bad character. But as the story continued I couldn't help but respect her A LOT. Her loyalty, the way she manages the troops (in the labyrinth Childe event), rational and logical, capable, she even went against her whole family for justice. Genuinely likeable. I would let her handle any troop/matter since she's so inspiring, I would love if she became the head of the yashiro commission. I didn't even know her story until now.... And I like her even more😂.
All electro character are either lonely are have a "distance" to them, the concept of "distance" varies from different character. Sara and Keqing isolated themselves in their work and dedication to their gods to compensate their social anxiety while distancing themselves from many. Yae`s mysteriousness creates a distance from her and many others (especially Gorou) Ei isolates herself and her nation. Creating a distance between herself and her people. Fischl distances others by living in her own fantasy and delusions Razor distance himself from civilization and lives in the wild. Even Beidou travels a lot, many times distant from her homeland and friends (like Ning). Her reputation and fame also builds a distance to many commoners.
How about Lisa? Also, I think this isn’t an exclusive characteristic of electro characters. Eula fits the criteria very well and yet she’s a cryo character.
Nah, I think Beidou is an exeption to this rule. There's always exeptions, like how every Pyro character is lively and cheerful exept Diluc. Or every Geo character is humble, quite and stoic exept Itto.
I also agree with that concept, though I personally believe the term “outcast” to society suits better. They all seem to have a certain attribute that sets them apart from society often seen in a negative way.
@@ABCCBAAAAAABC She always recluse herself in library, and as a Witch of the Purple Rose, while she can get along with others, she chose not to as she is a homebody. That is where the distance concept came in, even if it was weak.
@@x_Psyduck_x Diluc is still cheerful person before and when he first received his vision though. After his father death, Kaeya confession + duel and KOF way of doing thing that infuriates him that he start to abandon his vision and go with his father delusion.
3 characters that I want a hangout with: Fishcl- backstory, about oz, adventure together Sarah- See her other side a little, backstory Rosaria- backstory, why is she a nun? Most 4 star character have their hangout already. But I wanna see these 3 more. I will wait 4 sarah to return, becuase I got a raiden as bait.
Sara has nothing but "gratitude" to Takayuki, not "love". She isn't even allowed to call him "father", much less "daddy"; he's always "Takayuki" or "Mr. Takayuki" (Takayuki-san) to her. This starkly contrast to Ei being almost like a mother to Sara, to the point that Sara thinks Ei saved her life - which is another way to say that "Ei gave her life", like a mother gives life to her children. Tragically though, they'll never be able to enjoy this kind of familial relationship. Can I hug Sara and cry on her shoulder for her? 😞
it feels a lot sadder since 1. Archon didn't give Vision. Sara thought the Vision she was granted was a blessing from her god, the Shogun, while Ei herself said she didnt grant people vision. 2. Even the Shogun she worshipped is a puppet while the real shogun barely ever show herself, and only recently Cmon Hoyoverse, give us her Hangout
@Harry Shade finally someone who think like me. Although archons dont personally give vision, their identity reflected on the vision bearer, i think they do become the criterion of which element someone will have if they're granted vision
I think Sara knows Ei..Yae's voiceline said that Sara keeps asking her questions about Ei and her specialty is a sweet which is what Ei's love since Shogun isn't really fond of sweets.. Like the voiceline where Ei said to not mind the Shogun when it comes to desserts..
MY FAVORITE GENSHIN CHARACTER! i wish she got a good ending to her story (or at least a hangout) instead of laying passed out on the floors of Tenshukaku😭. but, my favorite voice line of hers is when it snows: "I would like to catch a snowflake, but once you have them in the palm of your hand, they melt away all the more quickly." the way she says it, especially in CN is so soft and shows so much about her character: wanting friends and normal human things but her circumstances and herself never letting her have it. her voice lines about ayaka too, is about wanting to play Go with her but fearing she won't fit in at the kamisato estate bc she's so serious. I LOVE HER SO MUCH😭
Thank you so much for this. I feel like back stories that give more in-depth characters in Genshin often get overlooked by the community and the "memes" or "quirky" version of characters is more popular that sometimes overshadow the characters. While both understanding the characters and enjoying the jokes can co-exist, I just couldn't help but feel like the memes are too much sometimes that it's kinda "disintegrating" the whole personality of a character Idk, maybe I'm just got hooked a bit much in the story, so characterizations is important that I'm just trying to understand the characters.
Agreed. People tend to boil someone’s personality down to within one sentence or as a joke, since it makes it easier to remember what the character does. Heck, I saw it happen plenty with Touhou. Yuyuko makes a off handed joke about having chicken for dinner after defeating Mystia, who is a bird youkai, and now, people tend to just refer to her as a glutton. For a more real word example, is there anyone back in school (whatever grade) that you barely remember? What do you associate with this person to remember them?
to the fandom, worship means simp and innocently like to play with explosives means psychopath terrorist to the fandom, the characters doesn't have personality, the fandom made up personalities for them and called it canon
Its so sad to think she devoted her life to shogun, sacrifice her freewill to dedicate her life for her when in fact the shogun has nothing to do with having a vision Ei revealed us on archon quest she does not grant vision so its kinda sad she lived hard life repaying something something she thinks she owe someone.
Its quite curious how visions work. Even Lisa has some far darker to say about visions both in the story section and in one voiced line. Because its a ''gift'' from the gods what is the price the gods will ask of you for ''giving'' you power. In exchange as the price. Even the ones who view it in a less favorable light and merely a trinket of power of which i know atleast 2 even they ''owe'' a debt to the gods. Going by Lisa's explanation. Regardless if you view a vision as a gift or nothing more then a trinket given to you. And what you feel about it. The gods in the throne in the heavens sets this ''price'' for granting visions. Your fate is that of their whims
@@regularmagz7710 What do you mean exactly? i can only visibly point out one person that would be cursed by the nature of the situations he always ends up in.
@@killerguythefox like all of them have some misfortune Rosaria her backstory is her village was wiped out and raised by bandits As we just watch sara has tough childhood too So is beidou from her story quest Lisa was cursed Bennett have bad luck Razor was an orphan raised by wolves Kazuha was exiled and his friend was hunted Kaeya is the sole survivor of khanreiah Diluc father died Eulas clan is constantly plotting against mondstsdt and making them look bad Qiqi was revived but her mental stste is not normal now So yeah there more if u look at it
@@regularmagz7710 I wouldnt call that a curse. Its more like a challenge they experienced. Which is according to what we know a criteria for a vision user to get their vision. Also Lisa being cursed is unknown we heard from a account she might be from a developer interview i believe? but take that as non canon till proven otherwise. So theres no confirmation. Also Kaeya isnt the sole khaen'rian survivor. Theres Dainsleif and possibly small enclaves left like where kaeya came from. So we know select groups still hold out as being human still. Also how and when many get their vision is different. Diluc got his before his father died. kaeya's moment of obtaining his vision came from the moment he realised when he told diluc everything about why he came to monstadt and his origin. And his mission. That he was burdened to carry his secrets about who he is and his loyalty to where he lives now and his homeland. Forever struggling on when he day comes who hes more loyal to. Which is a good show of what cryo often depicts as its main theme. Which is duality. Often tragic in its own way. So i'd say what you describe is more akin to hardships all vision users go through. And this is not just a trait of them either. Humans in general in teyvat experience many hardships. As we often know so many tragic and sad stories of what has occured.
I am mad at Hoyoverse, how will I be able to appreciate and perform my worshipping ceremonies for the Statue of Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder since it's teapot maintenance. The Statue of Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder, deserves nothing less but the most optimal of upkeeping and care, it shouldn't be rotting unused and unplaced in my teapot realm. Long live the Statue of Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder.
Sara's story and character is one of my most favorites from this game and I'm glad you detailed it and gave it some spotlight. I was very interested in her since her first appearance in the archon quest and I'm really hoping we get a hangout event for her soon
For real tho, Sara is cute af in this event. They way how detailed her explanation for Raiden Statue is just like otaku who care so much about their figurines. I hope her Hangout Event will come soon cuz i wanna see more of her gap moe!
Thank you very much for highlighting Kujou Sara's backstory and summarize to us about her current personality. I think that most people don't know or care about her character is because they haven't obtained her or simply ignored her due to her 4 star character status. Yes, Sara is a very disciplined-minded and devout type of person since all her life and the world she lives in revolves around the Raiden Shogun, because she believes that the Shogun saved her from her dying moment. It's really tragic of her that no one appreciates her real self in the end ever since his adopted father, the wretched Kujou Takayuki warped her perception of her value in life. Even Yae Miko and Ei don't seem to care about her predicament, and the former had mocked her selfless devotion to her deity and ruler.
For me, I didn't know, since you only unlock stories if you level up friendship with a certain character (I don't use her, because I use benny, so I'm in no need of dmg buffs). Even if I didn't know about her story, I still respected her a lot for taking care of her troops and not just sending them to die an unnecessary death. Also her conversation with kazuha shows how she can feel bad for her own actions, aka hunting him down for his vision and his criminal label. She respected his wish, no question asked. Also her not being a tsundere like keqing is a big plus, she just never had a childhood, she didn't play with anyone her own age, and suffered great loss at such a young age, and also became a army general. All in all I'm now glad this video shines light on her story, and exposes her reason for serving the Shogun with such strictness.
i think people hate her because she took away itto's vision and was the cause of kazuha's friend's death; i think people just can accept the fact that she won despite being a bow user (or just the fact that their fav character lost lol). plus her tsundere personality is kinda hard for some western people to get.
@@mintaroum.9096 Ok, can't ignore this one, she's not actually a tsundere, she has trouble expressing her inner and personal desires because of her rough childhood and the way she was treated early on.
@@cezarsoba actually, tsundere *is* a person who warm inside but having trouble expressing it, so i think it's basically the same thing. what i'm trying to say that western people take what other people say too literally, so they having trouble understand a character whose attitude is contrary with what they're actually wanna show.
@@mintaroum.9096 sure, tsundere have trouble of expressing their feelings, but thats not all. They have trouble of expressing it AND using violence instead as a way to express it. Sara dont assault people she love just because "she have trouble expressing it". The violence toward their love one is a requirement for tsundere troupe, not just the "having trouble expressing feeling". If its just that, might as well call shenhe "tsundere"
Paimon: So you wanted a figurine? Sara: It's THE STATUE OF HER EXCELLENCY, THE ALMIGHTY NARUKAMI OGOSHO, GOD OF THUNDER "the statue of Her Excellency, The Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder"! Ei (Known as the Raiden Shogun): It's a figurine of me! Sara: It's a figurine of you, yes.
it seems also worth to note that her ascension item is a Dendrobium, which has something to do with an enamoring towards battlefield and "believing in concept of eternity"
Sad that Sara thinks Ei granted her her vision, however, in Ei's voice line, Ei does not grant, nor deny, electro Visions. Sara's main driver and motivation to live is actually a mis-belief or faith based on a wrong understanding.
@Harry Shade actually i dont think a element of a vision represents the vision was granted by the archon of that element, rather it is the gods in Celestia who gifts visions, and since Ei cut her ties with Celestia long ago, in no way she was involved with Sara getting her vision.
I can kinda see why.... its because she has not been in the mortal world for so long. Its most of the time the puppet which doesnt even stroll out but just gives command thats all. Now that Ei has started to interact with the mortal realm abit more hopefully she can understand sara's dedication
the humans iin genshin made a lot of assumption into what the archons can do. for example they also expect that the gods could hear what they wish for while praying to them while I dont think they can. same for this vision thing. the worst case was the people on Tsurumi island who thought the thunder bird protected them while she didn't care at all.
A lot of things are better left unknown about divinity to the masses . Imagine poor barbruh when she knows the true identity of that drunkard at diluc's tavern
@@freddiem6805 She can explain it away as Venti's disguise. Especially since Venti is known for his music even as the Archon and the fact he taught them to make wine. Heck, she'll kick herself for not realising it sooner. Especially with the ancient ballads he knows.
If it weren't for this video I'd never know how tragic Sara's life is so thank you. It does break my heart to hear this and I hope other players would know this.
I think it’s for Sara’s own good to not discover the real origins of her vision, knowing her past I believe she wouldn’t be able to handle it without the Traveler or Ei comforting her to find her own way. Maybe blissful ignorance is for the best.
interesting point, however, i would also like it if one day she discovers that the vision didnt come from Ei and i hope hoyoverse added a new story for it
lol somehow I feel she will be struggled at first, then feeling relieved afterall, and decide to follow her god as always, but of her own free will this time.
I feel like it would be a tough pill to swallow, but knowing would be good for her, maybe then she won’t feel so indebted to everyone and can relax a little
I love her ever since first saw her. and after knew her story, i love her even more. Same like scaramouch, venti, diluc/kaeya, kazuha, zonghli, shogun, eula, sara, also albedo.
Sara’s story is actually so sad and all people she her as is a cold hearted warrior simp-, but honestly I dont blame her after what she went through and I think its funny how obsessed she is
I will never forgive Hoyo for wasting all her potential as a character. The parts in the archon quest with her (especially that scene in the prison and the confrontation with Takayuki, which is probably my favorite scene in the entire game) were great BUT THEN THEY JUST LEFT HER LYING ON THE FLOOR LOL Anyways, to add onto stuff in this video: 1. What's honestly kinda fucked up about Miko's perspective on Sara is she was the one who effectively sent Sara to the Kujous. "I knew a young and obstinate tengu warrior, and used the pretext of 'training' to bluff her into asceticism in the mountains, but sensing her unruly nature, I recommended her to those block-headed Kujou" - Kagura's Verity Lore. It doesn't help that Miko's vl about her in EN is a lot more hostile compared to it in other languages, though. 2. The Shogun (and now with the event MAYBE Ei) does seem to care about her as well. Alice's Teyvat Travel Guide for Inazuma reveals that she was experimenting and accidentally blew something up that severely injured Sara's wings. The Shogun's response to this was to send an entire security team to watch Alice's every move and have her go nowhere near Sara lmao. Two other aspects are Sara barging into Tenshukaku during a meeting, which the consequence should have been more or less instant death, and Shogun's line about Sara herself. We could consider the latter to just to be appreciation for Sara doing her job, but also the Shogun, who is probably the most straightforward person in the entire game and asks "Who?" for people she doesn't bother to remember, is like "omg Sara is a hero". 3. Others have already said it but Archons don't give out Visions so her entire life is a lie. Tbh one of the best things they could do to develop her character is reveal that to her and have her question everything, as painful as it may be.
I agree. While I adore Miko, I can't help but feel she is partially responsible for the abuse Sara faced at the hands of the Kujou's, intentional or not. Outside of the femslash fanfics that I have read, nobody seems to ever mention how much abuse (because besides social isolation and emotional abuse, I have a sneaking suspicion that Takayuki abused her in other ways) she faced at the hands of the Kujou's has never been brought to light, except minor references and hints in her voicelines. As I said, I love Miko, but I think it would be interesting (although I doubt it, seeing as we won't be spending much more quests in Inazuma due to the introduction to Sumeru) for both characters if Miko faced the reality of her actions if Sara's trauma got more attention in the plot. Again, I doubt it because we are leaving Inazuma soon, but just an idea.
Even if Yae talks shit about other characters, it won't change the fact hoyo adores her which make her forgiveable by community. Yet, even though Raiden's intentions have good meaning behind, the community won't forgive her easily. That's why I like Kujou Sara, she is the only Inazuman playable character that respect Raiden (also Kuki Shinobu probably). And the fact that her back story is amost unknown to the community, is showing crystal clear who's Hoyo favorite
I love Sara since i got her in the first Shogun raiden banner, she's very beautiful, useful and has nuances in her story and personality, a truly great character. So im more than happy that people are paying more attention to her now ♡
whats even sadder is how before the traveler came to inazuma, ei wouldnt even think twice of killing sara if ever she sees her as a threat to Eternity. And even Ei said it herself that she wasnt the one who gives out Visions at some point. It’d be great if we get a story quest or smthng similar of Sara doing stuff for herself and not just cus of her blind loyalty and that she should stop pushing ppl away who genuinely want to help her. I mean, theres Itto who even invited her to join the Arataki Gang and his description of the gang was for ppl who were rejected by society for a number of different reasons, so he, at least to some extent, knows of the burdens she carries.
The fact that Ei's comment about her not being the one to grant visions can destroy an entire person's worldview is interesting. It's not her fault as everyone in Tevyat has their own ideas of who grants visions but still. I would love an event or hangout quest dedicated to Sara finding out that Ei was not the one to grant her vision, and how she would react to that.
Great explanation, Sara's story is so sad and underrated to me. I think one of the most interesting things about her is that visions are given to people with a powerful drive or ambition and while she definitely has that with her loyalty to the Shogun, that happened as a result of getting her vision. That side of her can still be seen in places like how she let the Traveler and Yoimiya go, the trial in Heizou's hangout event, and how fair and kind of a person she still is after how Takayuki raised her. I really hope we get a quest or hangout event at some point to explore how recent events have effected her more or at least let us cheer her up.
@@opyams3054 I'd like to think that sara befriending the true Ei will allow her to let go of the hero worship aspect. It's because Ei is perceived as so far above her that is has so much weight in her life. To have Ei as a friend and to see her, flaws and all, and not just as a distant deity, would be really nice.
You really can't blame her for trying to justify her life of loyalty thankfully Ei is much more likely to be appreciative of her loyalty than old man kujou
Sara feels that when no one was my side shogun was always there for me so she thinks that shogun is some dearest to me and will do anything for shogun as she feels some emotional connection with her... What a lovely thing 🥰
Love how Raiden also actually cares for Sara.. When Alice injured Sara's wing and takes half a month to recover and despite Raiden being holed up in Tenshukaku she sent some soldiers to watch Alice's every move..🤣🤣
This literally sums up all my thoughts on Sara. She became my favorite Inazuma character throughout the archon quest, when I initially didn't think much of her. I really hope Mihoyo gives her the attention and love she deserves sometime
I really love sara. I was livid when I unlocked the friendship level and listened to the Takayuki line - that voiceline still makes me so sad. She reminds me of Tartaglia, sorta, in that they usually aren't in control of their own lives, rather being viewed and used as weapons or assets.
I feel like it's kinda sad that unlike the other archons we've seen, Ei doesn't interact with her people. Albeit Zhongli and Venti r out and about under aliases, they've made impressions on people to make them rethink their understandings of their lands and their archons. Sara suffers the most from this since all she has (that she believes) is her devotion to the shogun whereas Ei is like "ah peace I like being in my happy space." If she had a down to earth conversation with Ei, perhaps she'd finally know that her vision was NOT granted to her by the archons, thus changing her views and begin to live for herself. Nahida has shown it is possible to treat an archon w/ respect while also maintaining a down to earth relation with their citizens.
I am happy to have Sara as one of my selections of characters. I felt there was definitely more to her than her exterior mask she wears/ attitude and the way she lives. I felt like she wore a mask with a sad face underneath as people with depression or people who dont know how to live for themselves. I truly love character lore not just their weapons or their outfits whether it's sexual looking or badass. I want everything in a game to have meaning and character to it.
Somehow related to the vid, I just remembered something about visions. We can remember that Zhongli(?) told us that no new electro vision was handed out when the vision hunt decree started. Now, after finishing the inazuma archon quests, and getting to talk to the Raiden Shogun (more specifically Ei), she told us that she wasn't the one giving out electro visions. If archons have no role in handing out visions, what's up with Electro having no new users??
I believe it’s about the ideals of the Archon. Electro visions used to be about dreams with Lisa pursuing knowledge and Keqing pursuing her ideal of Liyue. When the vision hunt decree happened, electro represented stasis and no pursuit of any ideal.
@@Yo-mv2wh it could be because no one knows the shogun that is leading inazuma now is ei and not makoto, ordinary people knew ei as the original archon (makoto/baal) and not herself. they didn't know what actually happened to makoto and the sacred sakura story. hence, probably why zhongli called her baal instead of beelzebul. both makoto and ei agreed to not tell the people that they are twins because, they don't see any purpose for that and just act as only one raiden shogun existed. at this point baal can be referred as both makoto and ei since beelzebul never "exist".
@@garam5681 nah, zhongli definitely knows. It might be an oversight by mihoyo, or it's how baal can refer to both of them now as its his voice line and ventis call her as baal. It's absurd to think zhongli won't know since even ganyu knows. And venti too - It's only unknown in inazuma about ei's existence and most common folk, but the gods defo doo
Hey blue hat cat When you will talk about that "green area" inside the Chasm Mines? You know, the one with three peculiar elemental switches, and A very special gift inside the chest that they activates?
I like how her profile lines are lighter and pitched, rather than deepened. It might just be that im not wearing my headphones fir the video but her lines in the festival were somewhat deepened.
If we ever has a chance to get hang out quest with Sara, I hope we will see more of her other side other than General from Tenryou Commission. Just Kujou Sara.
Since it seems that you are a person who knows a lot about the lore of the game, I would like to ask you a question that I have been thinking about for a long time. What happens to the size of the visions? In the game there are characters that have a much bigger vision than others, is that because of some lore issue? Does it come out the size that it comes out? You can change the size at will? The truth is that it is a question that has been hanging around my head for months.
Was it Yae Miko that ended up saving her from the mountain? This is from the description of Kagura's Verity, which talks about a few characters, including Kujou Sara: "I knew a young and obstinate tengu warrior, and used the pretext of "training" to bluff her into asceticism in the mountains, But sensing her unruly nature, I recommended her to those block-headed Kujou."
I feel so bad for Sara, hoyoverse really just gave her a clunky kit and even in the story she got the short end of the stick. Her story is so painfully real, how she feels neglected and unhappy but acts grateful to her adoptive family. The onlyone she believes she can trust is the shogun...
The moment I got Sara from first Raiden Ei's Banner came out, I knew that not only I have a great respect, but also fallen in love of her personality and her story behind it made my heart warm. I am glad that I got Sara's cons to C6 XD

Finding out what sara's been through its a shame that takayuki lived after ei's quest I actually wished he died after the crap he done and even making deals with the fatui I already hated takayuki the moment i saw him but sara's story makes me hate him even more and only wanted nothing that he loses everything and eventually gets kicked out of the clan and sara taking over as the head of the clan rebuilding it to its former glory if not greater
Inazuma's people literally worship their god, thats why her statue is very important. Its like jesus figure for them. If sara was born on monstad she will be in church of favonius acting as sister %100

I really wanted to know what Sara was going to say to Kazuha. I know it was about his friend, but i wanted to hear the apology or something else related to it all the same. Their interaction was so sweet and understanding of one another.
@@sundalosketch4769 tbh kazuha's friend was the one who challenge her to a duel before the throne because he wants to face the shogun, fully understand what's going to happen. ofc she could dishonor his wish by rejecting it and simply take his vision away. However i think kazuha's friend would prefer that she accepted his challenge, and kazuha fully understood this as well.
@@sundalosketch4769 well if Sara lost, Shogun would have done the same thing with her because orders must be done. Losing in a battle in a samurai mindset is not as bad as modern people think it is.
@@jk1190 well if he had won the duel, he'd basically murdered Sara as his ambition of seeing the mnh needs someone to get killed. the mnh is a punishment, so it's either him or Sara who needs to die for him to see that define act
I like that Sara felt she needed to apologize, only for Kazuha to reveal he had never held it against her in the first place. Kazuha is, at heart, a samurai, and his friend's death was as honourable as they get. In the same vein, Sara's victory in the duel was also honourable. It makes sense for him not to harbour any ill-will towards her, in fact I'd say that makes him strong and honourable in his own right.
I have a deep respect for both Kazuha and Sara, they are incredible individuals of strong character, bold in word and deed.
On the topic of Kazuha, I believe he is the epitome of a warrior-monk. His martial prowess is matched only by his humility. He has learned to live a life without worldly vanity, and thrives with a kind of freedom most characters don't have. He is a certain embodiment of the ideal of freedom.
I've always liked Sara.
It's true that in the initial Inazuma trailer, she looked just like a bad character.
But as the story continued I couldn't help but respect her A LOT.
Her loyalty, the way she manages the troops (in the labyrinth Childe event), rational and logical, capable, she even went against her whole family for justice.
Genuinely likeable.
I would let her handle any troop/matter since she's so inspiring, I would love if she became the head of the yashiro commission.
I didn't even know her story until now.... And I like her even more😂.
She really needs a hang out
I used to hate Sara since I got her twice while rolling for raiden shogun also cuz she was a bow user
All electro character are either lonely are have a "distance" to them, the concept of "distance" varies from different character.
Sara and Keqing isolated themselves in their work and dedication to their gods to compensate their social anxiety while distancing themselves from many.
Yae`s mysteriousness creates a distance from her and many others (especially Gorou)
Ei isolates herself and her nation. Creating a distance between herself and her people.
Fischl distances others by living in her own fantasy and delusions
Razor distance himself from civilization and lives in the wild.
Even Beidou travels a lot, many times distant from her homeland and friends (like Ning). Her reputation and fame also builds a distance to many commoners.
How about Lisa? Also, I think this isn’t an exclusive characteristic of electro characters. Eula fits the criteria very well and yet she’s a cryo character.
Nah, I think Beidou is an exeption to this rule. There's always exeptions, like how every Pyro character is lively and cheerful exept Diluc. Or every Geo character is humble, quite and stoic exept Itto.
I also agree with that concept, though I personally believe the term “outcast” to society suits better. They all seem to have a certain attribute that sets them apart from society often seen in a negative way.
@@ABCCBAAAAAABC
She always recluse herself in library, and as a Witch of the Purple Rose, while she can get along with others, she chose not to as she is a homebody. That is where the distance concept came in, even if it was weak.
@@x_Psyduck_x Diluc is still cheerful person before and when he first received his vision though. After his father death, Kaeya confession + duel and KOF way of doing thing that infuriates him that he start to abandon his vision and go with his father delusion.
3 characters that I want a hangout with:
Fishcl- backstory, about oz, adventure together
Sarah- See her other side a little, backstory
Rosaria- backstory, why is she a nun?
Most 4 star character have their hangout already. But I wanna see these 3 more. I will wait 4 sarah to return, becuase I got a raiden as bait.
we already know why rosaria is a nun, it's to show thanks to varka after he spared her when killing the bandits who raised her iirc
who the hell is sarah?
you just picked the characters who have the lamest backstory... dunno how you managed that but congrats
sara defo needs one, but you can literally find out all about the other two in their character profile
@@HarrysDogmalaysiaSarah from Good Hunter 😏
Ayato says that sara is old Kujo's living weapon, really hope that she would have a free will of her own one day
Sara has nothing but "gratitude" to Takayuki, not "love". She isn't even allowed to call him "father", much less "daddy"; he's always "Takayuki" or "Mr. Takayuki" (Takayuki-san) to her.
This starkly contrast to Ei being almost like a mother to Sara, to the point that Sara thinks Ei saved her life - which is another way to say that "Ei gave her life", like a mother gives life to her children. Tragically though, they'll never be able to enjoy this kind of familial relationship. Can I hug Sara and cry on her shoulder for her? 😞
it feels a lot sadder since 1. Archon didn't give Vision. Sara thought the Vision she was granted was a blessing from her god, the Shogun, while Ei herself said she didnt grant people vision. 2. Even the Shogun she worshipped is a puppet while the real shogun barely ever show herself, and only recently
Cmon Hoyoverse, give us her Hangout
@Harry Shade finally someone who think like me. Although archons dont personally give vision, their identity reflected on the vision bearer, i think they do become the criterion of which element someone will have if they're granted vision
I think Sara knows Ei..Yae's voiceline said that Sara keeps asking her questions about Ei and her specialty is a sweet which is what Ei's love since Shogun isn't really fond of sweets.. Like the voiceline where Ei said to not mind the Shogun when it comes to desserts..
MY FAVORITE GENSHIN CHARACTER! i wish she got a good ending to her story (or at least a hangout) instead of laying passed out on the floors of Tenshukaku😭. but, my favorite voice line of hers is when it snows: "I would like to catch a snowflake, but once you have them in the palm of your hand, they melt away all the more quickly." the way she says it, especially in CN is so soft and shows so much about her character: wanting friends and normal human things but her circumstances and herself never letting her have it. her voice lines about ayaka too, is about wanting to play Go with her but fearing she won't fit in at the kamisato estate bc she's so serious. I LOVE HER SO MUCH😭
Kujou Sara: *gets vision... "..oh mighty Shogun, thank you so much for this blessing!"
Ei to Makoto: "..how do we tell her?.."
Thank you so much for this. I feel like back stories that give more in-depth characters in Genshin often get overlooked by the community and the "memes" or "quirky" version of characters is more popular that sometimes overshadow the characters. While both understanding the characters and enjoying the jokes can co-exist, I just couldn't help but feel like the memes are too much sometimes that it's kinda "disintegrating" the whole personality of a character
Idk, maybe I'm just got hooked a bit much in the story, so characterizations is important that I'm just trying to understand the characters.
Agreed. People tend to boil someone’s personality down to within one sentence or as a joke, since it makes it easier to remember what the character does.
Heck, I saw it happen plenty with Touhou. Yuyuko makes a off handed joke about having chicken for dinner after defeating Mystia, who is a bird youkai, and now, people tend to just refer to her as a glutton.
For a more real word example, is there anyone back in school (whatever grade) that you barely remember? What do you associate with this person to remember them?
to the fandom, worship means simp and innocently like to play with explosives means psychopath terrorist
to the fandom, the characters doesn't have personality, the fandom made up personalities for them and called it canon
Its so sad to think she devoted her life to shogun, sacrifice her freewill to dedicate her life for her when in fact the shogun has nothing to do with having a vision
Ei revealed us on archon quest she does not grant vision so its kinda sad she lived hard life repaying something something she thinks she owe someone.
Its quite curious how visions work. Even Lisa has some far darker to say about visions both in the story section and in one voiced line. Because its a ''gift'' from the gods what is the price the gods will ask of you for ''giving'' you power. In exchange as the price. Even the ones who view it in a less favorable light and merely a trinket of power of which i know atleast 2 even they ''owe'' a debt to the gods. Going by Lisa's explanation. Regardless if you view a vision as a gift or nothing more then a trinket given to you. And what you feel about it. The gods in the throne in the heavens sets this ''price'' for granting visions. Your fate is that of their whims
@@killerguythefox tbh so far all those who have vision have a curse on them either big or small
@@regularmagz7710 What do you mean exactly? i can only visibly point out one person that would be cursed by the nature of the situations he always ends up in.
@@killerguythefox like all of them have some misfortune
Rosaria her backstory is her village was wiped out and raised by bandits
As we just watch sara has tough childhood too
So is beidou from her story quest
Lisa was cursed
Bennett have bad luck
Razor was an orphan raised by wolves
Kazuha was exiled and his friend was hunted
Kaeya is the sole survivor of khanreiah
Diluc father died
Eulas clan is constantly plotting against mondstsdt and making them look bad
Qiqi was revived but her mental stste is not normal now
So yeah there more if u look at it
@@regularmagz7710 I wouldnt call that a curse. Its more like a challenge they experienced. Which is according to what we know a criteria for a vision user to get their vision. Also Lisa being cursed is unknown we heard from a account she might be from a developer interview i believe? but take that as non canon till proven otherwise. So theres no confirmation. Also Kaeya isnt the sole khaen'rian survivor. Theres Dainsleif and possibly small enclaves left like where kaeya came from. So we know select groups still hold out as being human still. Also how and when many get their vision is different. Diluc got his before his father died. kaeya's moment of obtaining his vision came from the moment he realised when he told diluc everything about why he came to monstadt and his origin. And his mission. That he was burdened to carry his secrets about who he is and his loyalty to where he lives now and his homeland. Forever struggling on when he day comes who hes more loyal to. Which is a good show of what cryo often depicts as its main theme. Which is duality. Often tragic in its own way. So i'd say what you describe is more akin to hardships all vision users go through. And this is not just a trait of them either. Humans in general in teyvat experience many hardships. As we often know so many tragic and sad stories of what has occured.
I am mad at Hoyoverse, how will I be able to appreciate and perform my worshipping ceremonies for the Statue of Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder since it's teapot maintenance. The Statue of Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder, deserves nothing less but the most optimal of upkeeping and care, it shouldn't be rotting unused and unplaced in my teapot realm. Long live the Statue of Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder.
Long Live!
LMAO
Long live a figurine !!!
@@nafri91 That's the Narukami Ogosho. God of Thunder.
Sara's story and character is one of my most favorites from this game and I'm glad you detailed it and gave it some spotlight. I was very interested in her since her first appearance in the archon quest and I'm really hoping we get a hangout event for her soon
For real tho, Sara is cute af in this event.
They way how detailed her explanation for Raiden Statue is just like otaku who care so much about their figurines.
I hope her Hangout Event will come soon cuz i wanna see more of her gap moe!
When Ei caught her lackin and she blamed traveller 🥺
or like religious people who buys a statue of their so called god
Thank you very much for highlighting Kujou Sara's backstory and summarize to us about her current personality. I think that most people don't know or care about her character is because they haven't obtained her or simply ignored her due to her 4 star character status. Yes, Sara is a very disciplined-minded and devout type of person since all her life and the world she lives in revolves around the Raiden Shogun, because she believes that the Shogun saved her from her dying moment. It's really tragic of her that no one appreciates her real self in the end ever since his adopted father, the wretched Kujou Takayuki warped her perception of her value in life. Even Yae Miko and Ei don't seem to care about her predicament, and the former had mocked her selfless devotion to her deity and ruler.
For me, I didn't know, since you only unlock stories if you level up friendship with a certain character (I don't use her, because I use benny, so I'm in no need of dmg buffs). Even if I didn't know about her story, I still respected her a lot for taking care of her troops and not just sending them to die an unnecessary death. Also her conversation with kazuha shows how she can feel bad for her own actions, aka hunting him down for his vision and his criminal label. She respected his wish, no question asked.
Also her not being a tsundere like keqing is a big plus, she just never had a childhood, she didn't play with anyone her own age, and suffered great loss at such a young age, and also became a army general.
All in all I'm now glad this video shines light on her story, and exposes her reason for serving the Shogun with such strictness.
i think people hate her because she took away itto's vision and was the cause of kazuha's friend's death; i think people just can accept the fact that she won despite being a bow user (or just the fact that their fav character lost lol). plus her tsundere personality is kinda hard for some western people to get.
@@mintaroum.9096 Ok, can't ignore this one, she's not actually a tsundere, she has trouble expressing her inner and personal desires because of her rough childhood and the way she was treated early on.
@@cezarsoba actually, tsundere *is* a person who warm inside but having trouble expressing it, so i think it's basically the same thing. what i'm trying to say that western people take what other people say too literally, so they having trouble understand a character whose attitude is contrary with what they're actually wanna show.
@@mintaroum.9096 sure, tsundere have trouble of expressing their feelings, but thats not all. They have trouble of expressing it AND using violence instead as a way to express it. Sara dont assault people she love just because "she have trouble expressing it". The violence toward their love one is a requirement for tsundere troupe, not just the "having trouble expressing feeling". If its just that, might as well call shenhe "tsundere"
Sara is such a great character, you can tell that her vc put a ton of emotion into what she was saying.
Paimon: So you wanted a figurine?
Sara: It's THE STATUE OF HER EXCELLENCY, THE ALMIGHTY NARUKAMI OGOSHO, GOD OF THUNDER
"the statue of Her Excellency, The Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder"!
Ei (Known as the Raiden Shogun): It's a figurine of me!
Sara: It's a figurine of you, yes.
it seems also worth to note that her ascension item is a Dendrobium, which has something to do with an enamoring towards battlefield and "believing in concept of eternity"
Sad that Sara thinks Ei granted her her vision, however, in Ei's voice line, Ei does not grant, nor deny, electro Visions. Sara's main driver and motivation to live is actually a mis-belief or faith based on a wrong understanding.
@Harry Shade actually i dont think a element of a vision represents the vision was granted by the archon of that element, rather it is the gods in Celestia who gifts visions, and since Ei cut her ties with Celestia long ago, in no way she was involved with Sara getting her vision.
It is sad to realize that Ei did not give her a vision and even during the event does not understand Sarah's passion.
Ikr?
I can kinda see why.... its because she has not been in the mortal world for so long. Its most of the time the puppet which doesnt even stroll out but just gives command thats all. Now that Ei has started to interact with the mortal realm abit more hopefully she can understand sara's dedication
archons don't give visions
Archons don’t give visions, the gods of Celestia does.
the humans iin genshin made a lot of assumption into what the archons can do. for example they also expect that the gods could hear what they wish for while praying to them while I dont think they can. same for this vision thing. the worst case was the people on Tsurumi island who thought the thunder bird protected them while she didn't care at all.
i wonder what happens when sara finds out archons dont give out visions
Yeah, either she will be sad or she would be astonished that celestia themselves who's higher than the archon granted her vision 😂
A lot of things are better left unknown about divinity to the masses . Imagine poor barbruh when she knows the true identity of that drunkard at diluc's tavern
Probably Hoyoverse will restrict that. Only Traveler, Paimon, Dain, Archons and some of the demi-gods will know the secrets of Teyvat.
@@freddiem6805 She can explain it away as Venti's disguise. Especially since Venti is known for his music even as the Archon and the fact he taught them to make wine.
Heck, she'll kick herself for not realising it sooner. Especially with the ancient ballads he knows.
If it weren't for this video I'd never know how tragic Sara's life is so thank you. It does break my heart to hear this and I hope other players would know this.
I think it’s for Sara’s own good to not discover the real origins of her vision, knowing her past I believe she wouldn’t be able to handle it without the Traveler or Ei comforting her to find her own way. Maybe blissful ignorance is for the best.
interesting point, however, i would also like it if one day she discovers that the vision didnt come from Ei and i hope hoyoverse added a new story for it
yesss she was so mad when she found out that her father deceived the shogun when all her life she was taught to be loyal
lol somehow I feel she will be struggled at first, then feeling relieved afterall, and decide to follow her god as always, but of her own free will this time.
@@awe3816 Yeah i feel she'll still be loyal to the Shogun but now also pursue more personal interests.
I feel like it would be a tough pill to swallow, but knowing would be good for her, maybe then she won’t feel so indebted to everyone and can relax a little
🌸🌺It may be that Kujou Sara is not always yielded the respect she deserved by the community, but she is certainly one of Genshin’s best lore wise!🌺🌸
I love Sara and Shenhe! their banters are actually so funny even though they are trying to be serious ^^
I love her ever since first saw her. and after knew her story, i love her even more. Same like scaramouch, venti, diluc/kaeya, kazuha, zonghli, shogun, eula, sara, also albedo.
Keqing: finally a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary
Man, i wish we had Kujou Sara hangout event....Come on Hoyoverse, make it happen....
Sara’s story is actually so sad and all people she her as is a cold hearted warrior simp-, but honestly I dont blame her after what she went through and I think its funny how obsessed she is
The Dainselief's dialogue about her makes me really sad.
I will never forgive Hoyo for wasting all her potential as a character. The parts in the archon quest with her (especially that scene in the prison and the confrontation with Takayuki, which is probably my favorite scene in the entire game) were great BUT THEN THEY JUST LEFT HER LYING ON THE FLOOR LOL
Anyways, to add onto stuff in this video:
1. What's honestly kinda fucked up about Miko's perspective on Sara is she was the one who effectively sent Sara to the Kujous. "I knew a young and obstinate tengu warrior, and used the pretext of 'training' to bluff her into asceticism in the mountains, but sensing her unruly nature, I recommended her to those block-headed Kujou" - Kagura's Verity Lore. It doesn't help that Miko's vl about her in EN is a lot more hostile compared to it in other languages, though.
2. The Shogun (and now with the event MAYBE Ei) does seem to care about her as well. Alice's Teyvat Travel Guide for Inazuma reveals that she was experimenting and accidentally blew something up that severely injured Sara's wings. The Shogun's response to this was to send an entire security team to watch Alice's every move and have her go nowhere near Sara lmao. Two other aspects are Sara barging into Tenshukaku during a meeting, which the consequence should have been more or less instant death, and Shogun's line about Sara herself. We could consider the latter to just to be appreciation for Sara doing her job, but also the Shogun, who is probably the most straightforward person in the entire game and asks "Who?" for people she doesn't bother to remember, is like "omg Sara is a hero".
3. Others have already said it but Archons don't give out Visions so her entire life is a lie. Tbh one of the best things they could do to develop her character is reveal that to her and have her question everything, as painful as it may be.
well said
I really like that the Shogun does appreciate Sara's efforts... She got through to the strictest person in Teyvat. Her hard work really did pay off
I agree. While I adore Miko, I can't help but feel she is partially responsible for the abuse Sara faced at the hands of the Kujou's, intentional or not. Outside of the femslash fanfics that I have read, nobody seems to ever mention how much abuse (because besides social isolation and emotional abuse, I have a sneaking suspicion that Takayuki abused her in other ways) she faced at the hands of the Kujou's has never been brought to light, except minor references and hints in her voicelines. As I said, I love Miko, but I think it would be interesting (although I doubt it, seeing as we won't be spending much more quests in Inazuma due to the introduction to Sumeru) for both characters if Miko faced the reality of her actions if Sara's trauma got more attention in the plot. Again, I doubt it because we are leaving Inazuma soon, but just an idea.
Even if Yae talks shit about other characters, it won't change the fact hoyo adores her which make her forgiveable by community. Yet, even though Raiden's intentions have good meaning behind, the community won't forgive her easily. That's why I like Kujou Sara, she is the only Inazuman playable character that respect Raiden (also Kuki Shinobu probably). And the fact that her back story is amost unknown to the community, is showing crystal clear who's Hoyo favorite
It is for this reason I don't like Yae (in addition to how Yae torments and bullies Gorou).
I love Sara since i got her in the first Shogun raiden banner, she's very beautiful, useful and has nuances in her story and personality, a truly great character. So im more than happy that people are paying more attention to her now ♡
I hope sara gets a hangout event so we can see her dorky side
whats even sadder is how before the traveler came to inazuma, ei wouldnt even think twice of killing sara if ever she sees her as a threat to Eternity. And even Ei said it herself that she wasnt the one who gives out Visions at some point.
It’d be great if we get a story quest or smthng similar of Sara doing stuff for herself and not just cus of her blind loyalty and that she should stop pushing ppl away who genuinely want to help her. I mean, theres Itto who even invited her to join the Arataki Gang and his description of the gang was for ppl who were rejected by society for a number of different reasons, so he, at least to some extent, knows of the burdens she carries.
"my house you ask?" i can see her smug smile
I hope she gets a hangout. Maybe with itto too.
Sara really needs a hangout event, we should make her feel loved and not alone. Must protecc waifu!
I would like one too
Every single things i learn about her only makes me cry. Most people don't pay attention to her but she got a really sad story
Cannot wait her Hangout
This channel is the Best for any Genshin Lore Enthusiast...
Hats off for Catw/BlueHat
The fact that Ei's comment about her not being the one to grant visions can destroy an entire person's worldview is interesting. It's not her fault as everyone in Tevyat has their own ideas of who grants visions but still. I would love an event or hangout quest dedicated to Sara finding out that Ei was not the one to grant her vision, and how she would react to that.
Great explanation, Sara's story is so sad and underrated to me. I think one of the most interesting things about her is that visions are given to people with a powerful drive or ambition and while she definitely has that with her loyalty to the Shogun, that happened as a result of getting her vision. That side of her can still be seen in places like how she let the Traveler and Yoimiya go, the trial in Heizou's hangout event, and how fair and kind of a person she still is after how Takayuki raised her. I really hope we get a quest or hangout event at some point to explore how recent events have effected her more or at least let us cheer her up.
I think Sara is very relatable. Since everyone of us do collect an item most dear to us like anime figures.
Please make more videos like this! Ones that detail what the characters do and why, they’re so interesting
I hope Sara and Ei get to talk next time so Sara get to know her God more
I can imagine her crying so loud.. while Ei hug her and comfort her.. telling her how brave and strong girl she is
@@FahrizalSurya that would be so sweet to see!
@@FahrizalSurya Revealing to Sara the truth about how vision are granted will be complicate
@@opyams3054 I'd like to think that sara befriending the true Ei will allow her to let go of the hero worship aspect. It's because Ei is perceived as so far above her that is has so much weight in her life. To have Ei as a friend and to see her, flaws and all, and not just as a distant deity, would be really nice.
You really can't blame her for trying to justify her life of loyalty thankfully Ei is much more likely to be appreciative of her loyalty than old man kujou
This is an amazing character story that I never knew existed until now. Keep making more of these and you’ll be my fav genshin tuber in no time!
You are the best, you make us aware of the truly beautiful thing in this game.
Sara feels that when no one was my side shogun was always there for me so she thinks that shogun is some dearest to me and will do anything for shogun as she feels some emotional connection with her... What a lovely thing 🥰
I hope we get to see a Sara story quest sometime soon
Along with xinyan, sucrose and rosaria
Love how Raiden also actually cares for Sara.. When Alice injured Sara's wing and takes half a month to recover and despite Raiden being holed up in Tenshukaku she sent some soldiers to watch Alice's every move..🤣🤣
This literally sums up all my thoughts on Sara. She became my favorite Inazuma character throughout the archon quest, when I initially didn't think much of her. I really hope Mihoyo gives her the attention and love she deserves sometime
I really love sara. I was livid when I unlocked the friendship level and listened to the Takayuki line - that voiceline still makes me so sad. She reminds me of Tartaglia, sorta, in that they usually aren't in control of their own lives, rather being viewed and used as weapons or assets.
I think i know why sara need the plushie,she wants to put it in a jar
Finally someone explains this to me. I was looking for this the whole time after that event quest hehe. Feeling so relieved right now :) Thanks!
Itto is the only one who actually cares for her not to mention they used to play together when they were little :’)
I feel like it's kinda sad that unlike the other archons we've seen, Ei doesn't interact with her people. Albeit Zhongli and Venti r out and about under aliases, they've made impressions on people to make them rethink their understandings of their lands and their archons. Sara suffers the most from this since all she has (that she believes) is her devotion to the shogun whereas Ei is like "ah peace I like being in my happy space." If she had a down to earth conversation with Ei, perhaps she'd finally know that her vision was NOT granted to her by the archons, thus changing her views and begin to live for herself. Nahida has shown it is possible to treat an archon w/ respect while also maintaining a down to earth relation with their citizens.
I am happy to have Sara as one of my selections of characters. I felt there was definitely more to her than her exterior mask she wears/ attitude and the way she lives. I felt like she wore a mask with a sad face underneath as people with depression or people who dont know how to live for themselves.
I truly love character lore not just their weapons or their outfits whether it's sexual looking or badass. I want everything in a game to have meaning and character to it.
This video is your best one yet.
Somehow related to the vid, I just remembered something about visions. We can remember that Zhongli(?) told us that no new electro vision was handed out when the vision hunt decree started. Now, after finishing the inazuma archon quests, and getting to talk to the Raiden Shogun (more specifically Ei), she told us that she wasn't the one giving out electro visions. If archons have no role in handing out visions, what's up with Electro having no new users??
I believe it’s about the ideals of the Archon. Electro visions used to be about dreams with Lisa pursuing knowledge and Keqing pursuing her ideal of Liyue. When the vision hunt decree happened, electro represented stasis and no pursuit of any ideal.
@@Yo-mv2wh Can you tell me where zhongli address ei as baal? Is it in his voice over or?
@@Mel_yui Its I think at the end of the Liyue's archon quest where we can ask Zhongli some questions
@@Yo-mv2wh it could be because no one knows the shogun that is leading inazuma now is ei and not makoto, ordinary people knew ei as the original archon (makoto/baal) and not herself. they didn't know what actually happened to makoto and the sacred sakura story.
hence, probably why zhongli called her baal instead of beelzebul.
both makoto and ei agreed to not tell the people that they are twins because, they don't see any purpose for that and just act as only one raiden shogun existed.
at this point baal can be referred as both makoto and ei since beelzebul never "exist".
@@garam5681 nah, zhongli definitely knows. It might be an oversight by mihoyo, or it's how baal can refer to both of them now as its his voice line and ventis call her as baal. It's absurd to think zhongli won't know since even ganyu knows. And venti too - It's only unknown in inazuma about ei's existence and most common folk, but the gods defo doo
We want a sara hangout event plssss 😭
Hey blue hat cat
When you will talk about that "green area" inside the Chasm Mines?
You know, the one with three peculiar elemental switches, and A very special gift inside the chest that they activates?
There is nothing especial, just hint for sumeru
What special gift?
I thought it was just a random puzzle for chest and achievement?
@@glistica there was some nut? Inside iirc
Thank you for making this video, Kujou Sara is a very interesting character indeed.
I like how her profile lines are lighter and pitched, rather than deepened. It might just be that im not wearing my headphones fir the video but her lines in the festival were somewhat deepened.
Thats why even on meta perspective of the game Sara is the best support for Raiden Shogun.
If we ever has a chance to get hang out quest with Sara, I hope we will see more of her other side other than General from Tenryou Commission. Just Kujou Sara.
Videos like this make us realized how good the story, the lore surrounds the game is compared to the stuff Hoyoverse actually puts in front of us.
this vid made me tear up a bit. im glad i raised her :[
Let's wait until she finds out that shogun isn't responsible for granting electro visions
im just gonna pretend I never saw the thumbnail change 4 or 5 times now
I didn't know she had that kind of story. I'm so glad she has us and itto trying to "play games" with her since she is so lonely
Haha she is obsessed of no 5 too. She also have 5 shogun figurines.
I never thought i obsessed in Eisara & eimiko lores so much that everything Cat elaborated and explained i already knew all of them deeply lol
Very insightful video! Also: Your video editing skills have improved so much! Very impressed.
Its pretty sad tbh
OMG thank you so much I never knew this! hopefully itto becomes her friend
Ah I love Sara so much. Since I don't have her yet it was nice to see some of her story here, thanks :'^)
I’m sure that The Shogun really likes her too, I’ll check her voice lines
Since it seems that you are a person who knows a lot about the lore of the game, I would like to ask you a question that I have been thinking about for a long time. What happens to the size of the visions? In the game there are characters that have a much bigger vision than others, is that because of some lore issue? Does it come out the size that it comes out? You can change the size at will? The truth is that it is a question that has been hanging around my head for months.
There is no lore in the game for vision's physical characteristics as of version 2.6
@@CatWithBlueHat Hey ! Can you tell me what's the name of the AI voice you used in the Dandelion video (and where I can find it) >.< ?
well done! i like ur videos, especially stories about the characters
Kujou Sara is literally my mother figure in Genshin
uh oh
Was it Yae Miko that ended up saving her from the mountain? This is from the description of Kagura's Verity, which talks about a few characters, including Kujou Sara:
"I knew a young and obstinate tengu warrior, and used the pretext of "training" to bluff her into asceticism in the mountains,
But sensing her unruly nature, I recommended her to those block-headed Kujou."
More like she is the one that sent her there and when she found out she survived, she sent her to kujou clan coz she is "unruly"
So basically...Yae screwed up Sara's life and has the audacity to diss her for how she ended up
@@rossadams1897 Yep, sounds exactly like the snarky smug asshat of a Youkai Fox we know.
I feel so bad for Sara, hoyoverse really just gave her a clunky kit and even in the story she got the short end of the stick. Her story is so painfully real, how she feels neglected and unhappy but acts grateful to her adoptive family. The onlyone she believes she can trust is the shogun...
Always like her aesthetic design... Gameplay wise, clunky and niche... Hate that her skill doesn't give energy 😕
That’s why we need a Sara hangout… she’s the only inazuma 4 star without one
" The one who hath spread the unchanging way is the eternal Narukami! "
So in other words she is completely obsessed with EI 👍👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣
The moment I got Sara from first Raiden Ei's Banner came out, I knew that not only I have a great respect, but also fallen in love of her personality and her story behind it made my heart warm.
I am glad that I got Sara's cons to C6 XD
Finding out what sara's been through its a shame that takayuki lived after ei's quest I actually wished he died after the crap he done and even making deals with the fatui
I already hated takayuki the moment i saw him but sara's story makes me hate him even more and only wanted nothing that he loses everything and eventually gets kicked out of the clan and sara taking over as the head of the clan rebuilding it to its former glory if not greater
Definitely one of the most underrated characters.
If you want to make your Sara happy. Give her a pet cat inside your teapot.
Man this makes me want sara hangout even more. The girl deserves some time off
Inazuma's people literally worship their god, thats why her statue is very important. Its like jesus figure for them. If sara was born on monstad she will be in church of favonius acting as sister %100
Basically we will have 2 Barbara lmao
I never knew, it was this tragic of a story... I appreciate her more now
I thought her wings was just for design, never knew or thought even that she literally have wings! Mind blown 🤯
No cap, Sara isn't just a snack herself. She's a full damn meal.
YOU FINALLY POSTED AGAIN
