@@LuddyFish_ that also means Childe is one of the weakest, seeing as how she said about scaramouche and Signora like "higher" numbers means more power.
The cutscene after Signora’s death is absolutely terrifying, and I love it. It’s so different from the rest of Genshin that it’s so good. Also, I really really hope that the 8th element (Khaenriah’s element) is like the one we see when everyone gives their ambitions to the Traveler. It’s even made of stars! It makes me really excited for the future, considering this power was able to defeat a God, after all.
There is no 8th Element. Khaenri'ah used the Art of Khemia (Alchemy) to advanced their civilization. Basically the Khaenri'ahns are a Science type civilization
8:47: I feel like the Electro Archon kind of put that illusion on the traveller because the Traveller challenged the Raiden Shogun, not Signora. Signora had to butt in to fight and lost. “As the victor” can be seen as a ‘lie’ because the traveler has not fought the archon yet.He only defeated Signora and hence started to Attack the moment he exited.
praying that we have more cutscenes like that bc it was so good the eeriness, the text, us actually processing what happening, seeing a person get killed to dust, it was so good i hope sumeru will be just as good
The "Raiden Shogun" that Ei created is designed to attack intruders on sight. Signora had gotten permission as a diplomat while Sara beat up a bunch of guards and interrupted their meeting.
the ending was very rushed in my opinion. so many things went unexplained/weren’t made clear, like why signora was in baal’s place to begin with, and why raiden suddenly attacked us when we met kazuha and gorou
im not sure abt signora but for raiden suddenly attacking us, her wordinf was “ill allow u to leave the tenshukakku alive” and as soon as we stepped outside of it she attacked us so she was just being “clever” with her words there
Good intentions, bad execution. Supposedly, Tsaritsa wants the gnosis to stop celestia, Signora supports the cause, but she steps on ppl to get there. Instead of being kind and explaining things she goes the brute force route. Baal had suffered heavy losses and became clouded by her desire to never see her ppl hurt again. A kind wish but flawed logic. It's like Movie thanos snapping 50% of life away to give the others a chance at life, but he doesn't think about those he hurts. I'd like to say that both could change, and neither really deserves to get clapped. But Signora knew the rules of the fight yet still tried to run the fade. Meanwhile if Raiden was killed, not only would inazuma be thrown into disarray, but we also lose an informant on the cataclysm and khaneriah. Not tryna change ur mind, just my 25 cents👍🏾
i love how the ending was directed .. the scene w kazuha and his friend’s sword and the close zoom in on the electro vision,, ahhh goosebumps every time
In all honestly, I felt this arc was very poorly told. I was very confused by the decisions made by the characters in-game and the writing choices mihoyo made. My first gripe is with how the traveller has this very confusing moral compass, the traveller was inraged at the deaths caused by delusions which results in their resolve to fight signora, but the fact raiden was aware of the whole thing and caused suffering for her people (the same premise for each case) isn't dealt with, we never confront her about it. what do we end up doing? we take her out on a date and we sympathize with her. Her decision to let the vision hunt decree continue makes her just as guilty as the fatui for the death of Teppei, who used a delusion to end said decree. Raiden may well be honestly the dumbest person in all of genshin impact I can't believe she actually thought locking herself in her room and letting a bot handle the GOVERNING of an entire nation was a good idea and would make Inazuma last for eternity I hope in a future update or story quest she faces some consequences for her actions. In addition, we're never properly explained how this eternity she seeks is related to people not pursuing their ambitions or leaving Inazuma which, funny enough, pushed the inhabitants to extreme measures that disrupt the status quo (using weapons that destroy their well being, having full-on mental breakdowns, that guy in yoimiya's quest who left the island in a tiny boat headed to a sea filled with thunderstorms just so he could get away of the country). The resolution of this chapter is yet again "well now raiden doesn't feel like doing the vision hunt decree anymore" so it's all solved and everyone's happy again because that's exactly how u resolve a civil war conflict, if this was realistic the rebellion would still continue since Raiden can't be trusted as a leader. These characters aren't writing themselves, there's someone or a team planning out how to lead the story, and their premise for Inazuma failed to connect with its resolution. we can't even rely on the emotional payoff for any of the characters involved. raiden sucked the air in the room to push any other character with emotional stakes aside, and even her sob backstory didn't have a big impact on the audience because we never find out about this twin sister until the very end. traveller's bond with Teppei had more of an emotional focus than kazuha, who they used as the emotional climax in the story. we don't even know in-depth kazuha's feelings, he had a total of 2 scenes in the whole Inazuma arc. but what do we focus on? meaningless quests about petty conflicts in ritou, working with npc troops in sangonomiya, a festival. if anything, the side quests were focused on the pain of the people of inazuma, and yet we're not led to care for proper redemption until a specific npc dies and only when the fatui are involved to take the responsibility off the Raiden Shouguns shoulders. hell, even Thomas's role is put away right when he got in a critical place.
My brother had a similar thought too. He felt that there wasn't closure in this quest. For me at least, it was decent. Sure, what you said made sense (for someone actually and understanding the dialogue) and I do agree on probably all of your points. I was really excited to have a date with Ei, and I was a bit bummed that I didn't get to know anything about her twin. Let's hope that the next story quest for Ei would touch on your points man! Side tangent, u gonna roll for Raiden?
Thank you!!!! That perfectly put into words how I was feeling about this archon quest. I was so pissed when Ei said she knew about what was going on her whole thing with visions is them being taken won't kill people but it is we are told that 99 visions have been taken meaning 96 other people have either died or are in a similar depressive state like the 3 we actually saw. In the first half I was impressed with the writing because the writers showed us through Kazuha and the 3 Ayaka quests exactly why the resistance needed to exist and why the vision hunt decree was horrible. Then they introduced that the vision hunt decree was being used by the Fatui to proiteer of the civil and that the Kujou clan was backing and lieing to the shogan. I was predicting that once we told Ei what was happening her mental state would start cracking (maybe have the shrines break and the moon in the background spilt into) then she attacks us out of anger to silence the uncomfortable truth that her actions have caused so much pain then to redeem her she would relinquish her right to rule leaving it up to Ayaka, Ayato and Kujo Sara to rule Inazuma and on reflection I feel that would have been a much better resolution to the story as the victims of the vision hunt decree get some closure as the people in charge are not subjectable to grief induced breakdowns that cause the person to give a percent of their population depression or death as 3 clans would be running the nation not one person. But no instead Ei who abused her power stays in power and the resistance, Kazha or even the traveller says nothing. (Sarcastic joke incoming) I mean we should of expected this really a company that makes it's money by using gambling mechanics that prey on people with mental health issues, neurodivergency, adduction issues is gonna struggle with the idea that a callous dictator that hunted people who were different not by choice who *wished* for the right to live needed to be stopped. A company that works on making victims of it's customers will struggle immensely to make a story about abuse end with the person responsible either in jail, dead or removed from power. There are exceptions probably (so don't spam me with x company did a game when the main villain was killed and also had microtransactions, I don't play many games with microtransactions because I have autism and refuse to lose loads of money if I fall prey to methods made to target people like me) but Mihoyo's writers have screwed up a bit on this. I hope they recover in Sumaru I really hope they do.
@@renboardley-evans9866 do you think that they can somehow turn things around in her second story quest? I really do hope that that's the case, because I really like Ei and her personality, this archon quest didn't really give her justice.
@@jampinjax9194 I think it would be very difficult to turn things around now because they had the chance in her first story quest (not the archon quest Ei story quest). I think the main problem is the writers don't seem to be interested in making her face consequences for those actions because every opportunity for consequences to come up losing her authority, meeting people who have been affected, meeting people who's loved ones have died due to the storm that she still has not called off or because of the vision hunt decree the writes just ignore it in favour lol Ei doesn't know what light novels are or what a camera is. The writes could have written a nation where the rebellion could of replaced her with the tri-commison just have the clan leaders discussing the best course of action but I don't think they were all that interested personally. The rebellion feels kinda pointless and unsatisfactory to me as a viewer because stuff still needs changing like the (can't spell the decree but it's the one that made inazuma a closed nation) and the storm that's making trade and travel extremely difficult. The writes aren't interested or that's how they come across to me
I can't feel sorry for the Raiden Shogun, or even sympathize with her at all. Her reasoning does not justify her actions in the slightest. Even skipping her banner.
Wait wait wait, so it's not only the original Dendro who was slained in the battle of Khaenriah but is also the first Electro Archon? Oh wow, what happened 500 years ago must have been some deep shit.
@@thefoolsfavorite i think she died in the Khaen'rian battle. Ei's memories are the time they ruled together. She also fight some battles, but the main celestia's stuff is Makoto to do
That’s probably why Venti and Zhongli don’t like talking about it. If you’ve done the We Will Be Reunited quest, there is more lore to Khaenri’ah, and yeah it is rlly deep.
Wait so the theory that Scaramouche is part of the electro archon is correct?! Whoa, I'm so confused... Mihoyo did an amazing job in writing the story; there's so many twists!
I just noticed that khanriah is shown in baals past and the heavenly principle is Celestia man this is so much lore so she's scared of Celestia or heavenly principle? And also Celestia did order the gods or control them to destroy khanriah
My guess is that every Archons are protectors of their region, like Morax with Liyue. So if every Archons rules over their country then the God of Celestia (The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles) is the God of WHOLE Teyvat and see the Archons like chest pieces
Every archon is like this. Celestia is very corrupt according to Venti; so he doesn’t like talking about it. Almost every god in Teyvat hates Celestia. In Ei’s case, this is probably because Baal died during the destruction of Khaenri’ah, who was her closest friend.
So to sum it up , Fatui is the one behind it all leading by Signora , before getting the Gnosis - Scaramouche already laid his hands on it , later on we found out about Ei and Makoto - The Twin Gods. As Yae saying that the next destination is Sumeru. We also found out that Sumeru's archon is a woman. (Note: I read this wrong they said the archon is male but *WHERE AYATO*) The leaks/theory that is debunked is: -Kazuha dying in the hands of Ei -Mona and Lisa's deathflags -Signora's escape in Inazuma And lastly , *WE NEED TO SEE AYATO*
Dendro archon is a man and the youngest archon out of the current archon. Kusanali could probably his pet/servant/related to him or the first dendro archon or just like an adeptus
@@user-sw4ww3ho4q there is a leak saying potentially one of either Mona or Lisa is gonna die on the next archon quest "Referring the first one" . It's clearly debunked since none of them dies. It can happen in the future but not today
@@sergeantzura4079 again opinion. Let people enjoy what they want. I liked the story too if you dont like it thats fine its not for everyone but dont force your opinion down someones throat. Or better yet dont go to a video of the cutscenes just to hate on the story. Criticism is one thing but you guys arent even giving a point you are just saying the writing is bad.
@@sun-iy6oz fair points but rushed work doesn't imply bad work. Its all based on the consumer of said entertainment, it was rushed but they can still do more with the areas. It is rushed and for that i am disappointed that they didn't do more with the development of Teppei, Gouro and Kokomi but that didn't take away from the good parts of the story.
Sameee, I wouldn't go as far as pathetic though. I honestly didn't care that we'd meet her, I was just "meh... we gonna fight, so imma beat her ass for Venti" but then she suddenly died??? Like okay??? But I moved on after like an hour or two LOL
Maybe. But Childe is also quite incompetent (look at Liyue) when it comes to good plans. He is described to be the most ‘out there’ of all the Harbingers. I’m pretty sure we’ll get to see him interact with Scaramouche though.
Thanks for uploading. My game’s cutscenes decided to stutter and die on me midgame after finally finishing an equally glitching Signora fight. The whole scene after the fight got dark real fast. I love it. Bummer that Signora died. Didn’t like her at first but learning her backstory as the crimson witch made me change me mind. Wonder if mihoyo will make dead characters playable.
But the important question is did Sara die? She doesn’t show up in the ending. Looks like she surivied, if you have her she has lines about the future now that the Vision Hunt Decree is ended.
She probably just passed out or fainted. She’s not entirely dead as far as we know, since her vision is still activated. If she really was dead, her vision would be gone.
Im expecting more from the next archon quests. They better be good than this one. I hope the archon quests will surpass the one before as we get closer to the end.
@@kazukiiscosplays3695 The story quest was cool, but that’s it. I too go excited in the heat of the moment, but the actual writing wasn’t great. Kokomi, Gorou, and the resistance as a whole weren’t heavily utilized nor explored, and the story was kind of rushing things. Also, Raiden didn’t really get a proper redemption. We learned that she was lonely and sad, and yeah that sucks. But she didn’t really show any remorse for her decisions: it was almost as if she didn’t really care about all the deaths and mental torment that came from the vision hunt and sakoku decree. P.S. the resistance coming to Inazuma city was cool but also crazy. Like how the hell did they just teleport there? Too convenient imo,
At the rate this is going, I feel like the MC will end up being the strongest character in the game both in lore and gameplay once this is all over. I dunno why but that's what I think will happen. Like he has a 5-star portrait instead of neutral color that's usually given to the playable main character in these type of games, makes me wonder if he'll transform or something once he manages to get all the elements or will he regain his former strength while being able to harness the power of the 7 elements, I don't know. What I'm pretty certain of is there will probably be some kind of transformation gonna be involved, after all, this is miHoYo we're talking about here, they love 'em power-up transformations
Yep definetly and it being so short means many things feel rushed and unanswered like the Sanganomiya, why the Fatui are even here, Ei's past and why she is let of so easily.
@@davidjula7432 probably just save for future event, like how we bump into the girl being possessed by the Earth dragon for a good awhile but not until Zhongli get another focus event that we get to see it.
finally I can battle La Signora I want to beat him so much after he kick Venti and make Paimon popsicle cube Signora ready or not im ready to beat u with my character and my protagonists Travel 😎
Ight, I have no idea what this cutscenes are and I've finished the story quest so yeah, looks like my game bugged and didn't play these scenes. Thanks god I recovered them
Thanks for the cutscene upload bruh. After Signora died my game decided to not show any cinematic cutscenes in story progression and left me even more confused after I gained the whole "knowledge" of this chapter. Kinda sad to say good idea but bad/fast executed...
So this confirms zhongli and the rest of playable archons we'll have will still fucking op even without a gnosis,like Baal manages to kill orobaxi and beat our fucking ass without on
Wait a minute. Barbatos is drunkard of a bard, Morax is a broke consultant, and Baal (Ei) is... a hikikomori ruler? What's next? A scholar that is too suggestive and uses too many innuendos? A judge that has the habit to laze around? A gladiator that uses more brawn than brains? Or a god with subjects that always comedically misunderstand her orders and wishes, thus accidentally making them harass and manipulate the other nations for her gain, much to her dismay? What's next Mihoyo?! What?!
Hold up.... Soo..Sumeru is the next Country ...and Sumeru is the country of wisdom.. does it mean more puzzle isn't. Well... i hardly complete the puzzle in inazuma and now the country full of wisdom and puzzle coming i wonder how many times i open guide to solve puzzle in Sumeru... Pls Mihoyo spare me i just want to get 2 freemogems from normal chest....
Inazuma puzzles: Already hard even though the archon and nation isn’t based off of knowledge nor wisdom Sumeru puzzles: Probably 10x harder, due to it focusing on wisdom and knowledge Yeah I’m pretty scared.
The ending was super rushed especially after we defeated Ei… like we got a few scenes that suck.. like I wanna talk to Kazuha about this talk to Thoma who’s free! Mourn Teppei Celebrate with Kokomi Get closer with Yae See whats happening to Inazuma ANYTHING pls
Sumeru may possibly be *worst* then Inazuma, we have no dendro characters except Baizhu being confirmed due to the Liyue archon quest (possibly Yaoyao but we don’t really have an actual picture of her in game/storyline) Ei never gave out visions but at least we had Beidou, Fischl, Keqing and Razor instead of no electro characters.
Mihoyo, the developers of Genshin Impact, also made another game named Honkai Impact…2 playable characters died, but you can still use them. So it’s possible that Signora might get a banner, but not anytime soon.
@@kokichisscarf92 yes but they were already playable before they died. i read somewhere signora has no vision actually (cryo = delusion, pyro = being the crimson witch) but i can't confirm how true it is.
of course she is still alive, those with vision when die, will burn out like Signora and Kazuha's friend did. Even without that, you really think they gonna kill off a new playable character from the same patch she got released and killed her off scene?
Yae Miko is a fox envoy and Baal (Raiden Makoto) was the original electro archon god. As of now the current archon is Beelzebub(Raiden Ei) after her twin sister's death.
Lesser lord kusanali is NOT the dendro archon we still have a chance of him being a guy! Haha sense The hydro, pyro and cryo archons are all confirmed female please mihoyo let dendro be a guy!!

Baal mentions the 'Heavenly Principles' which is what the Unknown God brings up as being the Sustainer of such.
She says she has strained away from Celestia, so that could mean that Baal is also trying to kill the Unknown God.

I was predicting that once we told Ei what was happening her mental state would start cracking (maybe have the shrines break and the moon in the background spilt into) then she attacks us out of anger to silence the uncomfortable truth that her actions have caused so much pain then to redeem her she would relinquish her right to rule leaving it up to Ayaka, Ayato and Kujo Sara to rule Inazuma and on reflection I feel that would have been a much better resolution to the story as the victims of the vision hunt decree get some closure as the people in charge are not subjectable to grief induced breakdowns that cause the person to give a percent of their population depression or death as 3 clans would be running the nation not one person. But no instead Ei who abused her power stays in power and the resistance, Kazha or even the traveller says nothing. (Sarcastic joke incoming) I mean we should of expected this really a company that makes it's money by using gambling mechanics that prey on people with mental health issues, neurodivergency, adduction issues is gonna struggle with the idea that a callous dictator that hunted people who were different not by choice who *wished* for the right to live needed to be stopped.
A company that works on making victims of it's customers will struggle immensely to make a story about abuse end with the person responsible either in jail, dead or removed from power. There are exceptions probably (so don't spam me with x company did a game when the main villain was killed and also had microtransactions, I don't play many games with microtransactions because I have autism and refuse to lose loads of money if I fall prey to methods made to target people like me) but Mihoyo's writers have screwed up a bit on this. I hope they recover in Sumaru I really hope they do.
@@renboardley-evans9866 do you think that they can somehow turn things around in her second story quest? I really do hope that that's the case, because I really like Ei and her personality, this archon quest didn't really give her justice.
@@jampinjax9194 I think it would be very difficult to turn things around now because they had the chance in her first story quest (not the archon quest Ei story quest). I think the main problem is the writers don't seem to be interested in making her face consequences for those actions because every opportunity for consequences to come up losing her authority, meeting people who have been affected, meeting people who's loved ones have died due to the storm that she still has not called off or because of the vision hunt decree the writes just ignore it in favour lol Ei doesn't know what light novels are or what a camera is. The writes could have written a nation where the rebellion could of replaced her with the tri-commison just have the clan leaders discussing the best course of action but I don't think they were all that interested personally. The rebellion feels kinda pointless and unsatisfactory to me as a viewer because stuff still needs changing like the (can't spell the decree but it's the one that made inazuma a closed nation) and the storm that's making trade and travel extremely difficult. The writes aren't interested or that's how they come across to me
I can't feel sorry for the Raiden Shogun, or even sympathize with her at all. Her reasoning does not justify her actions in the slightest. Even skipping her banner.
kazuha gaining electro power is the same badass energy as zenitsu finally using his golden katana lightning attack in demon slayer insert ohhhh meme
12:54 that Electro Excalibur is real shit
Too bad we can't use it
looks like the thing himeko did in honkai before she died
Cutscene traveler is too strong ......cutscene traveler needs to be a real thing
i suprised cause in Ei cutscene there is a bit khaenriah music
When exactly?
what khaenri’ah music
Pov your phone couldn't handle all these cut scenes so you go to yt lol joke aside kazuha was able to use his friend's vision!??
12:01 IS THAT KAZUHA'S DEAD FRIENDS VOICE????? IF IT IS WHY IS HIS VOICE TO ATTRACTIVE WHAT
I hope mihoyo really do a character s with double element s
then the normal attacks are infused with one element and the skill does a aoe of other elements and infuses of other element
9:00 That scene reminds me of the Little Nightmares (part 1) ending
SAME LMAO I WAS SO SCARED
Wait wait wait, so it's not only the original Dendro who was slained in the battle of Khaenriah but is also the first Electro Archon? Oh wow, what happened 500 years ago must have been some deep shit.
No, the Electro archon was killed before Khaenri'ah got nuked iirc
@@thefoolsfavorite i think she died in the Khaen'rian battle. Ei's memories are the time they ruled together. She also fight some battles, but the main celestia's stuff is Makoto to do
That’s probably why Venti and Zhongli don’t like talking about it. If you’ve done the We Will Be Reunited quest, there is more lore to Khaenri’ah, and yeah it is rlly deep.
Wait so the theory that Scaramouche is part of the electro archon is correct?!
Whoa, I'm so confused... Mihoyo did an amazing job in writing the story; there's so many twists!
wait when did they say that
@@meulware When 2.1 trailer came out a lot of people came up with the theory that Scaramouche is part of the electro archon
@@GTSE2005 no in the game i didnt pay attention
@@meulware yae miko says it towards the end. He's a rejected puppet made by the electro archon
it's not a theory, it has been leaked back then but it's just not confirmed
so she's really the crimson witch of flames
*was
I just noticed that khanriah is shown in baals past and the heavenly principle is Celestia man this is so much lore so she's scared of Celestia or heavenly principle? And also Celestia did order the gods or control them to destroy khanriah
My guess is that every Archons are protectors of their region, like Morax with Liyue. So if every Archons rules over their country then the God of Celestia (The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles) is the God of WHOLE Teyvat and see the Archons like chest pieces
She's scared of both
Every archon is like this. Celestia is very corrupt according to Venti; so he doesn’t like talking about it. Almost every god in Teyvat hates Celestia. In Ei’s case, this is probably because Baal died during the destruction of Khaenri’ah, who was her closest friend.
Paimon's indignat reactions are gold. It always has me burst out laughing. Awww she's too cute.
Wait, SOMEONE ELSE USING XINYAN OTHER THAN ME!?!?!?!?!? AMAZING!!!!
20:47 hold on... that little fox has the same color hair as Yae and has similar shaped earrings..
So to sum it up , Fatui is the one behind it all leading by Signora , before getting the Gnosis - Scaramouche already laid his hands on it , later on we found out about Ei and Makoto - The Twin Gods. As Yae saying that the next destination is Sumeru. We also found out that Sumeru's archon is a woman.
(Note: I read this wrong they said the archon is male but *WHERE AYATO*)
The leaks/theory that is debunked is:
-Kazuha dying in the hands of Ei
-Mona and Lisa's deathflags
-Signora's escape in Inazuma
And lastly , *WE NEED TO SEE AYATO*
Sumeru’s archon is a male, but they worshipped the lesser god diety which is a female.
@@Samchanne21 Oh , I must have read it wrong. Thank you for correcting me
Dendro archon is a man and the youngest archon out of the current archon. Kusanali could probably his pet/servant/related to him or the first dendro archon or just like an adeptus
How were the death flag debunked!?
@@user-sw4ww3ho4q there is a leak saying potentially one of either Mona or Lisa is gonna die on the next archon quest "Referring the first one" . It's clearly debunked since none of them dies. It can happen in the future but not today
I really can't believe the traveller defeated la signora and raiden shogun at the same time
That is so unexpected the writings finally getting good
@Shadow Master your opinion, not a fact.
@@KillerOstrich no lol, it really got worse
@@sergeantzura4079 again opinion. Let people enjoy what they want. I liked the story too if you dont like it thats fine its not for everyone but dont force your opinion down someones throat. Or better yet dont go to a video of the cutscenes just to hate on the story. Criticism is one thing but you guys arent even giving a point you are just saying the writing is bad.
@@KillerOstrich I can explain why it got worse: it was rushed. A lot of characters were put aside and the redemption of Ei was too fast.
@@sun-iy6oz fair points but rushed work doesn't imply bad work. Its all based on the consumer of said entertainment, it was rushed but they can still do more with the areas. It is rushed and for that i am disappointed that they didn't do more with the development of Teppei, Gouro and Kokomi but that didn't take away from the good parts of the story.
As a venti simp, she did deserve it. But i kinda feel bad for her, she's too pathetic
Sameee, I wouldn't go as far as pathetic though. I honestly didn't care that we'd meet her, I was just "meh... we gonna fight, so imma beat her ass for Venti" but then she suddenly died??? Like okay??? But I moved on after like an hour or two LOL
@@caramelsonn2696 I mean, she's not as present as main characters so no one would care if she dies or not
I pity her. Even her former deity has forgotten her, not short of forsaking her.
Lmao she relies on her status in the Fatui to manipulate people. Honestly…Signora is the worst.
@@kokichisscarf92 Not as bad as creating vision hunt and sekoku decree only to ignore it until it becomes civil war lol
So now that Signora died is childe gonna replace Signora now of taking gnosis on all nations
Maybe. But Childe is also quite incompetent (look at Liyue) when it comes to good plans. He is described to be the most ‘out there’ of all the Harbingers.
I’m pretty sure we’ll get to see him interact with Scaramouche though.
No, it will be Scaramuche
I think it’ll be scara
@@kazedadada yeah, or Dottore
@@elpiss that would be lit
HAHAHAHHAHAHAH she said not even ashes will remain yet she died
Well, plot armor bro
The Tomo scene gave me goosebump
Thanks for uploading. My game’s cutscenes decided to stutter and die on me midgame after finally finishing an equally glitching Signora fight. The whole scene after the fight got dark real fast. I love it. Bummer that Signora died. Didn’t like her at first but learning her backstory as the crimson witch made me change me mind. Wonder if mihoyo will make dead characters playable.
I'm so happy that Kazuha didn't die. He didn't deserve to get done like that by the rumors.
But the important question is did Sara die? She doesn’t show up in the ending.
Looks like she surivied, if you have her she has lines about the future now that the Vision Hunt Decree is ended.
i dont think so
I don’t think she died. I wish they made it clearer though. it feels like the ending was so rushed
I don't think so
@@kazedadada It really is.
She probably just passed out or fainted. She’s not entirely dead as far as we know, since her vision is still activated. If she really was dead, her vision would be gone.
Yae sounds like a female Kaeya-
Im expecting more from the next archon quests. They better be good than this one. I hope the archon quests will surpass the one before as we get closer to the end.
Well fasten your seat belts I think we're in for a bumpy ride
Dude, that was literally the best story quest ever in Genshin xD
I'm sure they will be more awesome stories in future.
@@kazukiiscosplays3695 The story quest was cool, but that’s it. I too go excited in the heat of the moment, but the actual writing wasn’t great. Kokomi, Gorou, and the resistance as a whole weren’t heavily utilized nor explored, and the story was kind of rushing things. Also, Raiden didn’t really get a proper redemption. We learned that she was lonely and sad, and yeah that sucks. But she didn’t really show any remorse for her decisions: it was almost as if she didn’t really care about all the deaths and mental torment that came from the vision hunt and sakoku decree.
P.S. the resistance coming to Inazuma city was cool but also crazy. Like how the hell did they just teleport there? Too convenient imo,
Please dont tell me i have to fight Ei and Signora im so fucking weak
Unfortunately, you do.
Same lmfao
I still can't feel that her ends justify the means. It kind of just seems like she's just scared and oblivious to the wishes of others around her.
At the rate this is going, I feel like the MC will end up being the strongest character in the game both in lore and gameplay once this is all over. I dunno why but that's what I think will happen. Like he has a 5-star portrait instead of neutral color that's usually given to the playable main character in these type of games, makes me wonder if he'll transform or something once he manages to get all the elements or will he regain his former strength while being able to harness the power of the 7 elements, I don't know. What I'm pretty certain of is there will probably be some kind of transformation gonna be involved, after all, this is miHoYo we're talking about here, they love 'em power-up transformations
11:50 Why does this reminds of me Saitama about to give genos the expressway to heaven
18:04 Wait, that was Teppei... :D
Man, the story is so cool but way too short, I wish they put in more into the plot concerning the Sangonomiya
Yep definetly and it being so short means many things feel rushed and unanswered like the Sanganomiya, why the Fatui are even here, Ei's past and why she is let of so easily.
@@davidjula7432 probably just save for future event, like how we bump into the girl being possessed by the Earth dragon for a good awhile but not until Zhongli get another focus event that we get to see it.
Can mihoyo change Raiden Shogun’s ingame to Ei? MIHOYO PLEASE CHANGE IT ALL ARCHONS WILL HAVE A LETTER “i” at the end of their name.
SIGNORA IS DEAD WE GOT REVENGE FOR VENTI POGGERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
finally I can battle La Signora I want to beat him so much after he kick Venti and make Paimon popsicle cube Signora ready or not im ready to beat u with my character and my protagonists Travel 😎
She
I’m not a Venti main, but I do use zhongli a lot….so yeah I was pretty happy after killing her.
Ight, I have no idea what this cutscenes are and I've finished the story quest so yeah, looks like my game bugged and didn't play these scenes. Thanks god I recovered them
18:16
What Aether said: Abolish the Vision Hunt Decree!
What Ei most likely heard (because of the aggressive music): Beat my ass I dare you.
Thanks for the cutscene upload bruh. After Signora died my game decided to not show any cinematic cutscenes in story progression and left me even more confused after I gained the whole "knowledge" of this chapter. Kinda sad to say good idea but bad/fast executed...
Ok I was NOT expecting the twin thing. Also was not expecting to hear that Drndro Archon is female. My brain is fried like geeze...
Apparently, every other Archon starting now is going to be a female. The only male archons are Venti and Zhongli.
Was anyone listening to 'Bury The Light' when watching this fight?
Tomo's cat still waits on his grave xxx(
Ei origin story and the pre-shrine cutscene did not play on console. Left Inazuma feeling even more rushed.
O dia em que eu conseguir chegar nesse nível talvez eu consiga finalizar o jogo ;w;
Never thought Genshin impact will be a horror game...
RIP Teppei
I... i didn't even scratch Baal on the second phase. I don't know what to do
So this confirms zhongli and the rest of playable archons we'll have will still fucking op even without a gnosis,like Baal manages to kill orobaxi and beat our fucking ass without on
Wait a minute. Barbatos is drunkard of a bard, Morax is a broke consultant, and Baal (Ei) is... a hikikomori ruler? What's next? A scholar that is too suggestive and uses too many innuendos? A judge that has the habit to laze around? A gladiator that uses more brawn than brains? Or a god with subjects that always comedically misunderstand her orders and wishes, thus accidentally making them harass and manipulate the other nations for her gain, much to her dismay? What's next Mihoyo?! What?!
I’m here only to see if Kazuha was alive
Hold up.... Soo..Sumeru is the next Country ...and Sumeru is the country of wisdom.. does it mean more puzzle isn't.
Well... i hardly complete the puzzle in inazuma and now the country full of wisdom and puzzle coming i wonder how many times i open guide to solve puzzle in Sumeru...
Pls Mihoyo spare me i just want to get 2 freemogems from normal chest....
Inazuma puzzles: Already hard even though the archon and nation isn’t based off of knowledge nor wisdom
Sumeru puzzles: Probably 10x harder, due to it focusing on wisdom and knowledge
Yeah I’m pretty scared.
The ending was super rushed especially after we defeated Ei… like we got a few scenes that suck.. like I wanna talk to Kazuha about this talk to Thoma who’s free! Mourn Teppei
Celebrate with Kokomi
Get closer with Yae
See whats happening to Inazuma
ANYTHING pls
There are no limits here, Am I right?
Sumeru may possibly be *worst* then Inazuma, we have no dendro characters except Baizhu being confirmed due to the Liyue archon quest (possibly Yaoyao but we don’t really have an actual picture of her in game/storyline) Ei never gave out visions but at least we had Beidou, Fischl, Keqing and Razor instead of no electro characters.
Traveler: holy shit you fucking killed here dude???
come here tears
Raiden : therefore i shall allow you leave tenshukaku alive
*5 minutes later
Raiden : sike 😂
Aftee we defeated Ei the story suddenly said 📉📉📉📉📉 and thats so sad :(
I suspect Scaramouche will from now on be taking the Gnosis from the archons as he has the electro Gnosis rn and Signora is well dead
Yeah next Fatui harbinger will be doctor appered after scaramouche die in sumeru
so signora is not playable character ?? :(...
Talking abt Scaramouche, he might make a good synergy with Raiden Shogun.
12:00 KAZUHA I FUCKING LOVE YOU
So a playable signora is no more?🥺
Mihoyo, the developers of Genshin Impact, also made another game named Honkai Impact…2 playable characters died, but you can still use them. So it’s possible that Signora might get a banner, but not anytime soon.
@@kokichisscarf92 yes but they were already playable before they died. i read somewhere signora has no vision actually (cryo = delusion, pyro = being the crimson witch) but i can't confirm how true it is.
after a month since my comment here, I'm back to say that fook this signorqa. Finally beat her with Zhongli on my team.
*average spoiler enjoyer*
Aye my team was the same as yours but xinyan was yoimiya
I love you Feng!!!!
But what happened to Sara? Is she alive?
of course she is still alive, those with vision when die, will burn out like Signora and Kazuha's friend did.
Even without that, you really think they gonna kill off a new playable character from the same patch she got released and killed her off scene?
But what happened to Sara tho
Signora death???
From the look of it, yes
Cause we got her mask
I was saving for her…
She got the Judgement Cut, dissipating her soul.
@@kaokaopang same rip
WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT DID SARA DIE???
"I will let you leave tenshukaku alive"
*almost kills them as they exit*
technically the truth
Expect all future nations to be like this lol.
The writing team is truly bad.
Can you put an Arabic translation please
Miko is the real archon right ?
Yae Miko is a fox envoy and Baal (Raiden Makoto) was the original electro archon god. As of now the current archon is Beelzebub(Raiden Ei) after her twin sister's death.
Lesser lord kusanali is NOT the dendro archon we still have a chance of him being a guy! Haha sense The hydro, pyro and cryo archons are all confirmed female please mihoyo let dendro be a guy!!
it is just me or I find it that Inazuma's story is not good compare to both Liyue and Mondstadt? Feels kind of rushed....
Tomo's cat still waits on his grave xxx(
OMG HOW DID I JUST NOTICE NTHAT
