It says in the VERY beginning that yes, a battle royale death game is EXACTLY what used to happen to the children at the orphanage under the prior Knave’s management.
If you haven't noticed, Clervie is Crucabena's('mother) biological daughter, hence their same hair color and why Arlecchino asked at 2:51 "do mothers usually argue with their daughter?" the EN translate is wrong on this one cause in CN and JP it translates to "do real mothers" it hints at Clervie possibly being abused. Clervie is also symbolized as lumidouce bell. In both part 4:44 where the mother said she should've pruned the flowers long ago, not waited till it wilts. She's saying that she should've gotten rid of Clervie cause she's weak("Innocent and kindness are such beautiful qualities, sadly they're also useless") hinting at Clervie too. The second, where Arlecchino glances at the lumidouce flowers 6:24 and let out a small smile as if she has gotten the strength to continue fighting, she's probably reminded of Clervie as she owns a necklace with that same flower! These small details crushed my heart the many times I rewatched this animation so I wanted to point it out, let's all get hurt tgt! :D
I appreciate your interpretation here, and want to add a little of my own… as I feel like the importance of the music in this animation cannot be understated, from the cuteness of Arlecchino and Clervie in the beginning (with the lyrics calling back to birds soaring from their cage) to the lyrics as Arlecchino sees Clervie’s flower just before the final engagement (“Stay awake, don’t fall asleep. The way is long and the gloom is deep… embers glowing in the hearth still seen”… like Clervie’s spirit imploring Arle not to give in now) to the swelling of the children’s chorus as she strikes the final blow… Because I feel like that chorus is significant, representing Arle carrying not only Clervie’s spirit but those of all the children of that doomed version of the House…
@@m.hunterstevie2081 that's a really nice point too! now that you've said it I just realized the pre-chorus started right during arlecchino looking at the lumidouce flower, and the lyrics resonating through, it's like Clervie is talking to her..
"Looks like a battle royale for children" You said this jokingly but it seems like the most plausible explanation as to why she killed her friend and then also battled her 'mother'. You didn't talk over that line so I'm confused why you questioned it so much
imo she didn't kill her because she looked shocked. her friend probably ran into her sword to sacrifice herself and that's why she apologized. also you can notice arle's curse on her hands disappearing when she is with her friend so she let it overtake her to kill the previous Knave
yeah, 1. shocked expression 2. you can see arlecchinos sword in her hand with no blood on it 3. clervie says "im sorry", probably because she stabbed herself in front of arle
@@Mieps5 yes omg!! i've been saying this but people keep arguing she stabbed her herself. my theory is that arlecchino seized her sword but she ran into it at the end since arlecchino is still holding her own by her side with no blood on it as you stated as well
@@nyx8a Teoria da Clervie ter se perfurado com a Espada da Arlecchino é oque faz mais sentido já que a Expressão de Choque da Arlecchino mostra isso, ela Se Desculpando mostra isso e o Fato que torna mais verossímil essa Teoria é a Mancha de Langue na Roupa da Arlecchino e a Posição da espada... aquela Posição da Espada dela é uma Posição de Guarda levantada mas é Defensiva e se fosse mudada para a Ofensivo das Duas uma... ou seria feito um Corte ou a Perfuração não mancharia a Roupa da Arlecchino de Sangue... o Único modo coerente do Sangue estar ali seria a Clervie se Empalar a Distância Zero da Arlecchino pois aí explica como a Postura Defensiva da Arlecchino matou alguém. Também explica porquê a Mancha de Sangue afinal ela Se Perfurou com a Espada a Praticamente nenhuma Distância então o sangue espirrou apenas na Altura da Perfuração da Espada.
3:49 Im pretty sure she offed herself rather than fight Arle. The shot right before is kind of a common way to depict that in anime and manga without fully showing it, and we dont see her hands so she is likely holding the sword hilt.
Arle's stance also helps that idea. The way she's standing is pretty much that of someone bracing themselves, not someone prepared to take the offensive in a clash of swords.
in her story quest she says more specifically that clervie(red hair girl) said "i spent my whole life fighting for freedom, and now i realise the only freedom i have is the freedom to choose to die"
Context: The House of Hearth of that time was a breeding ground for assassins for Shnezhnaya, kinda like a Genshin version of the Red Room from Marvel. That fairytale Mother was telling them was their actual destiny. What you said at the beginning was accurate: they were being instructed in what their future would have been, and indeed Arlecchino was the last standing of the orphans, who killed each other to nominate the "King" aka the best assassin in that batch. Another interesting thing: When Mother (the head of the House of Hearth, she uses hydro btw) was tending to that lumidoce bell, before the fight started, she was talking about her daughter: the kid who became Peruere's best friend, Clervie, had a lumidoce bell shaped pendant in that early scene when she brought cake. That kid is Mother's biological daughter, and Mother sent her to her death. By talking about pruning the flower before it withered, she's expressing disappointment at the fact her daughter was killed by Peruere (she didn't get the title Arlecchino yet). Not a shred of regret, of sorrow, of mourning, instead she thinks she should've killed her own daughter because she sees her death as a disgrace. So that coldhearted b***h sent her own daughter to be killed by her best friend and doesn't feel anything about it. I think that is why Arlecchino chose to be called "father" by her kids: not much because she's the King (she refused that title, it's clear from the ending when she said "my answer is no"), but to mark a difference in management from Mother's methods regarding the House of Hearts: unlike Mother, she deeply cares about her kids. Btw, Peruere went full Ultra Instinct in that fight, that was precious. I do think they'll make her turn against us, I mean she's a fatui harbinger, we're bound to fight her, but I can't wait how they will pull it off since she's been the less hostile to us so far.
Also, Mother name was Crucabena, and looking at Peruere face when she killed Clervie, she was so shocked that It most like to be that Clervie run towards Peruere's sword and stabed herself so her bestfriend coupd win
The shots of scenery following pinky-hair's death pretty much shows the aftermath of the battle royale. The sword with the bullefruit hanging off of it alludes to blondie who likely perished as well. The scene where Babychino asks pinky "do mothers argue with their daughters?" hints that pinky might have been the previous Knave's actual daughter.
Não sugere... é Confirmado... Foi um Erro da Tradução para o Inglês mas na Versão Japonesa é na Lore a Clervie e Filha Biológica da Cucrabena a Antiga Mensageira Fatui que tinha o Posto da Nossa Atual Arlecchino.
Oh, I've been watching you for a while and I didn't know I wasn't subscribed haha The voice actor of Pierro is amazing, suits greatly Btw they released the song and its instrumental on Spotify at least
In game story spoilers: Her friend there was the biological daughter of "Mother" and tried to change her mom's ways, but was included in the death game anyway to prove there was no favoritism. She tried for years to keep everyone safe, got most of them to agree to only duel to a draw, but people still died or were hurt badly enough to be handed over to The Doctor and never seen again. When the time came that she was to duel Arlecchino, Arlecchino was trying to fight to a draw like always, but Clervie stepped into a strike she could have dodged. She was tired, hopeless and worn down. She was convinced she'd never escape the House or her mother, and wanted to die. That's why she says thank you and I'm sorry.
not sure when you recorded this but as of today the song in the vid has already been released on its own! it’s called “Emberfire” and there’s both a version with and without the lyrics 🙌 also hope you’re doing alright post-surgery!
10:30 you actually nailed name of both Harbingers the one in middle is Jester (Pierro) - leader of Harbingers you can also see Scara (with hoodie instead of his purple Sombrero), Signora (RIP) and Capitano (the masked dude)
glad see you in a good health, hope u recover soon bro . i 100% sure arleccino didnt kill her friend, her friend itself that pierce arleccino sword to her body and let arleccino win to become the king. thats why arleccino face so shocked.
Get well soon and your injury seems like connected to the video because they got hurt too xD But anyways hope you doing good now Also arlecchino's best friend is also the biological daughter of the Mother who is also the former knave and the other children were orphans in which she like to find the perfect soldier by letting them kill each other to be the one true great king even her daughter is even not an exception.It's also the reason why she uses "Father" instead of Mother because of how she despised the Mother.After she became the head of house of the hearth and became the Father all orphans are being taking good care by Arlecchino that's why they are very loyal to her and I think Arlecchino's motives are in the good way because she just wants her children(orphans) to have a good life.
Clervie killed herself because Arlecchino wouldn't do it. You can see that when she drops dead she has a different sword stuck in her and Arlecchino is holding her sword.
"Mother" or Crucabena is the previous "Knave" and manager of the House of the Hearth. At the beginning, she told a deceitful story where the children will fight against each other and earn the title of "King" and even then, the plushie that represented Arlecchino (Peruere) was on top. Clervie was believed to be Crucabena's biological daughter. She was Peruere's childhood friend. Despite that, she still pit her against all other kids of the House of the Hearth. It is also hinted that Crucabena actually favored Peruere the most and wanted Clervie killed even from the beginning. She had a Lumidouce necklace and when Crucabena was holding the same flower, she says this "I should've pruned this flower long ago and not waited till' it wilts. How grotesque." Clervie pushed herself against Peruere's sword since Peruere hesitated. This makes a lot of sense because of her dialogues "You will be... A great king." "I'm sorry... Thank you..."
The "Mother's" name is Crucabena a Gallic equivalent of the Welsh enchantress Ceridwen. And she was a harbringer. Clervie (pink hair) could be Crucabena's biological child.
Now you know why she's Father and not Mother. She says " like a very strict and unfeeling Father " cause the figure of Mother she had was a lie, she pretended to be caring and gentile, but she was a cruel b.tch. Arlecchino on the other end, is a cold Father but one that does not lie and actually cares for the kiddos
We don't know why Peruere killed Clervie. It seems really stupid to kill her and then go kill the mother in retribution. The common assumption right now is that they were having a mock fight, but Clervie threw herself on Peruere's sword to just bring an end to all the fighting. We don't know what the "king" position means either, so maybe it's something important enough that Clervie felt the need to kill herself.
Honestly, you and a significant amount of CCs I've seen either glossed over or completely missed the beginning part where it literally said (albeit in story form) what happens to the children in the orphanage (you even joked about it). Also, could be lore significant in the future... but Scaramouche in this vid is actually an anomaly considering he's supposed to have erased himself in Irminsul which should have left NO TRACES of him in Teyvat as being Scaramouche.
The animated short is showing her story to us players, NOT the memory/memories from her point of view. The past cannot be changed. Irminsul only erased/altered the Teyvat citizens' memory of him. That's why it's not a hole in the script.
I really, really don't get why people are so confused about the Scaramouche thing. It's quite easy to understand that the Short is not an Irminsul record. It's a way for the devs to show us, real actual non-Irminsul-controlled people what happened to Arlecchino in the past. It's not something the Traveler sees, as it's not an in-game cutscene. It's clearly not Arlecchino's memory, since she's absent in it's beginning. Why are people so insistent on making up weird conspiracy theories?
@raissabrito2005 agreed... which is what makes his appearance an anomaly because NO ONE IS SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER HIM, yeet here he is in Arlecchino's PoV. The focus isn't really on Scaramouche, but on Arlecchino and why she remembers him.
@@idyotako it's literally not Arlecchino's POV. There's a scene in the beginning, where Crucabena reads the tale to the children and Arlecchino is absent. So it simply cannot be her pov.
I subbed out of pity
