- Character Teaser Raiden Shogun Nightmare Analysis & Hidden Things. This teaser had a lot of references to the existing lore of 2.0 which you may have missed before 2.1. The teaser is also very unique as it shows Raiden's past, the things that have influenced her to be who she is. I hope enjoy the video :D

I think this was the first time a teaser had this much lore in it. They are usually very light and all around fun, so I had to make a video about this. Also, here's the Kitsune Saiguu video if you want to know more about Raiden: ua-cam.com/video/OYMDAeOojGQ/v-deo.html
Edit: 0:07 Sasayuri part is a speculation. I have made it based on the scene we see in Raiden's teaser where she is running on what looks like a white serpent's body which is probably Orobashi. connecting this with Sangonomiya Chronicles "Her Excellency's cherished tengu general, Sasayuri, was among those who lost their lives." and the next scene is him disappearing, I concluded Sasayuri. As the only time Raiden fought a serpent was Orobashi.
Thank you so much! I really needed this video because I want to understand the teaser, as it is a more complicated one
The person she was chasing could also be the first electro archon, stating that Baal failed in maintaining eternity and her friends died. Now she will do anything to stop it from happening again.
@@Kae_S I don't think it's the first electro archon since it looks exactly like Baal (except for stocking & her braid is slightly different), but who knows...
@@catto1003 what do you think would be the chances of her mother or elder sister being the first archon?
@@Kae_S I don't know... But it'll be interesting if there are archons who got their title from their parents (edit : or other fam members), so there are more variation of archon origins
"Where are those who share the memories?"
damn this hits harder
Memories?
Yeah hits harder than zhongli theme

I'm actually starting to feel bad for her, every archon has gone through a lot.
what did venti go through? get kicked out of a bar for going batshit crazy when he was drunk? ( i've done his story quest, just a joke )
@@keyu1290 LMFAO
They lost their best friends tho :(
@@keyu1290 his best friend was a bard yearning to escape the storm lord and see the outside world but he died when they achieved their victory, that’s the reason why venti is now a bard (exactly his friend’s form) to achieve what his friend has been yearning for
@@namocado9518 Man, He said it was a joke
All the gods in genshin (so far) are depressed. They have different ways to deal with it ig. Venti drinks his pain away, zhongli got somewhat numb ig but still reminiscences a lot. And Baal.... Let's see how this goes
She went crazy
She lost hers friends and then herself I guess
EDIT: I take back what I said bc y’all showed me the TRUTH. Zhongli is that normal person on the street who seemes happy and has everything, but in reality has LOST everything to get what he has. He’s lost countless friends and ally’s, their blood is the soil of liyue. This is a REMINDER that even if people dont look/talk about being depressed (raiden kek) doesn’t mean they aren’t. Big sadge
@@knucklesskinner253 if you read his voicelines, he doesn't. He's really depressed. He just got used to it. Understandable as he's the oldest of the archons, being 6000 years old
Zhongli hears iron tongue tian tell a story about morax
I'm praying to ALL THE ARCHONS for Mihoyo to release Kitsune/Oni characters.
They are GORGEOUS
Too bad they're dead
@@hin2298 *But Chiyo was said to simply have fled to the forest **1:58** Hope we get her at least, if not Saiguu or Sasayuri. I reeeeaallyyyy love her design :D*
For Kitsune we certainly are getting Yae, for Oni there is this guy who is in strange love-hate rivalry with Sara (forgot his name). Moar will be better tho
@@gik0kaleidos417 have fun playing a one-armed character 🗿🗿
Her dominant arm for that matter
Kitsune - Yae
Oni - Itto
Tengu - Sara
No wonder she will chase 'eternity' with everything she got.
Everything she still have left
show me what you got
even if its something that will bring harm to her people
I like how a young Archon like Baal started to suffer the burden of being able to live/survived or play the important role of an Archon to her people compared to the older surviving Archons like Venti or Zhongli, who had their own fair share of burden but were able to cope.
Edit: just realized Venti has the worst way to cope, but he coped nonetheless.
Except they don't really cope, Venti is an absentee god who doesn't even keep tabs on Monstadt when he is away, shows up every few centuries and wonders why things are a mess. He is also wearing the face of his dead friend, that isn't coping its not letting go seriously messed up.
Zhongli got so tried after the time and loss he basically quit after making sure the people could cope without him, again not coping.
Raiden's failure to cope is potentially more harmful to her people but all three have failed in different ways we have just to see an Archon who is fulfilling their role properly.
@@101Mant i dont think anyone could deal with living for thousands of years and seeing literally everyone die around them
@@101Mant For me they've done their roles as Gods, not as Archons. Venti himself is God of Wind and God of Freedom,
which makes his task kinda obvious to let his peoples live freely and manage their land.
Zhongli (previously) & Raiden on the other side were doing their roles as an Archon, by managing their
lands themselves as the God of Contracts and God of Eternity, but IMO Raiden's implementation of eternity that she did and the relations to her Archon task is unclear and ambiguous.
@@101Mant honestly, Venti's story is the most exhausting of all.
He was forced into creation by mortals' prayers, forced into divinity due to a lack of a leader, forced into becoming an Archon under Celestia's reign. The God of Freedom, ironically, never had any freedom. It might be that he's trying to compensate for it. He's also the God of Terror, if I remember correctly. So his carefree attitude might also be due to the fact that he doesn't want to get serious enough to have to honor that title again.
Also, he's tends to hold mortals in higher regard than Rex Lapis or Raiden. Rex Lapis babysat the mortals while Raiden oppresses them; while Barbatos trusts the mortals to run themselves.
@@101Mant Venti knows what happen in teyvat especially Mondstadt. Remember the trailer of genshin? Where dienslief told us "What is freedom when its demanded by a god" So basically Venti doesnt intervene the people of mondstadt to much because it againts his role. Just like zhongli The GOD OF CONTRACT. As for Venti The GOD OF FREEDOM. So He doesnt intervene so much but its different when another God enters like dvalin
I think her issue is here for Raiden is that she wants to be happy once again and like you said that she wanted that time no longer affect her nation because she doesn't want to go through the same pain she went because of "time". For her "time" is what took her friends away and she no longer wants to feel grief and sadness and she also isolated the rest of inazuma so that no one can just step in and easily change things or the way of life but in fact she wants to push people away or even the other gods because she feels like time will take them all away from her again and she'll be all alone, in with held back tears and silently grieving.
My damn heart😭😭🥺🥺
Baal wants eternity to prevent further 'erosion'
IMO Baal is the kind of god who never accepts "time" while Venti and Zhongli just go along with it.
Man 😔😔
back to the good old days :D
ISTG if miHoYo released Raiden's Friends, i will gacha for them, just to make her happy again.
Are you pulling yae
@@Samppa1203 if she ever got released, yes
@@r_4_135 the'res speculations on yae releasing at 2.1/2.2
@@taylorswiftly 2.2 I think because 2.1 is baal and kokomi
@@taylorswiftly she is in 2.2
if you think about it,The catacalysm is major key event in this game.think about it,the cataclysm make some really dark event in teyvat,some example like:
1.Durin attack in mondstadt,the dead of rostam that created the crimson witch of flame
2.in liyue,monster began to appear especially in chasm
3.in inazuma as we see in the video,chiyo get corrupted by abyssal power and kitsune saiguu fall into the abyss and maybe the oroboshi event too related to this catacylsm
4.in sumeru,the previous dendro archon the god of wood is killed in the same time as the fall of khaenri'ah
idk about other country like fountaine,natlan and snezhnaya,expect to get more detail about that later in story.And also feel free to correct me if there something wrong
I think in natlan murata will tell us about it because in travail trailer dainsleif said about the god of war will tell us a secret
we'll probably get spoiled a lot in natlan because of how the pyro archon adores our flaming ambition, as of fontaine there's not much to say.
The darkness/abyss effected the whole teyvat
The three moons (INCREDIBLY INFLUENTIAL DIVINE FIGURES IN TEYVAT) died in the Cataclysm.
If I'm not wrong, after the great cataclysm, the Tsaritsa changed and created the Fatui
I was hoping you'd address the question of why does raiden have a vision glowing on her back when she starts running towards the other Raiden.
Because this is not a Vision
She doesn't need one
I feel like it is metaphorical since the Raiden she's chasing after has none of those things, no emblems, no gloves, referring to her "past" self when she didnt have to take up weapons. That is how I addressed it.
It's not a vision lol. Just look at the official genshin Twitter. They already stated "gnosis electro" so she don't have a vision
Archons does not need visions to control elements bc they already have the gnosis
@@popcorn520 they still can control elements even without gnosis tho, every elemental being can channel their respective element just like slimes, they don't have vision, let alone gnosis but can still control elements
To summarize all the archons:
Baal: *Lonely*
Zhongli: *Poor*
Venti: *Drunk*
Venti: Poor and Drunk*
oh lmao
zhongli create mora and become poor archon
maybe... i am an archon.... (except i don't drink)
@@cronk3435 oh fu-
@@airitistic *me looking at everyone in school* so anyways, i started blasting
Chiyo the one armed one horned oni maiden sword wielder honestly sounds metal af
It is said that Chiyo was killed by another person when she escaped into the forest. The person didn't recognize her due to her injuries and her beautiful face being so twisted from the rage and hatred that he thought that she was an abyssal monster and slayed her.
@@ledoi5961 sadge. Further proves Inazuma is a graveyard for dead characters with unique designs and playable potential 😔
@@joganesha4151 yeah... I really like Chiyo's design as well. Too bad honestly
Yeah maybe mihoyo will add dead characters to the game considering Genshin will be a 10 year long project and the release of all nations is in 5 years. I expect to see mihoyo bringing back dead characters, or atleast make them playeble, can't imagine what will happen in those 5 years but this could be one of the features we might get🤔.
i remember a similar character from a comedy with Leslie Nielsen :D
So that is why she wants to implement the Eternity to Inazuma so that way they won't experience the same thing as her
Yea but unfortunately, they ended up making their people miserable anyways, having so little freedom and getting their visions taken away
@@bloo1801 only those who have visions are affected by her thing tho. Normal people still lives normally
@@bloo1801 People who has vision is actually just few compared to those who don't have vision. Also not everyone who has their vision taken away lost their ambition to live. I forgot which quest is it, side quest or consecutive daily quest. I don't remember the detail but I remember he said he feel relieved after his vision got taken away. No more burden and he can just live a normal live.
@@mineralwoteh9059 that one man in Komoro Teahouse I guess, he gave up his vision to someone else after losing a bet (cmiiw) and all of his burden simply lifted up

Venti should tell Raiden that he is alive before things get worse-
@@ilovewagner that just seems like guessing and speculation without it having any source, as there's nothing to indicate that in-game.
@@IWontFindU8888 Lmao
@@IWontFindU8888 Because Venti hasn't ceded his position as Anemo Archon despite losing his Gnosis, I think the other gods are aware he's still alive, just.... being as free-wheeling as Barbatos is. xD

same 😩😩
@Plank Scale I have exams today and tomorrow
Where do you people live? I thought this was the American server-side of youtube lmao.
same and i haven't studied anything
Good luck bro.
I'm sure that every archons have their own tragic stories, but Baal's tragic story is what led her to the ideal of eternity for her nation. It makes sense, she wants everything to stay the same as if time never existed because she doesn't want anyone to suffer like her
let's help her out as the traveler of teyvat ^^
I’m crying rn all archons all have sad past venti drinks his pain away, zhongli is depressed because of him being the oldest archon and having to remember everything that goes on because he can’t forget, and Baal like you said put the nation under eternity to stop time because they don’t want to seem them suffer like her 😭😭
I cry all the time when I see Raiden’s past for and ur right I think that’s why she had the Vision Hunt decree
Everyone: Baal is similar to Raiden Mei
Me: Baal is similar to some kind of Depressions
certain Genshin Player: why this trailer is dark?
Honkai Player: ah yes another one
With a lot of traumas…
To be fair both Baal and Mei has similarities to depression lol
@@ilhamalkautsar132 both are depressions, we're talking about Honkai look alike / alternate self here lolll
@@timo7641 can't wait depression what they pull out for Unknown Goddess / Tuna back story when the time comes lol
But her story Rang a bell into Hua's. Both of them lived an Immortal (kinda?) life. And they lost many of their friends, and that was what caused them to stop being nice and warm or interacting with others. They were afraid of being friends with them then losing them again or outlive them. Eventually they lived a lonely life and became like an emotionless robot whose given only one purpose. But Hua's life changed when she became friend with Kiana and the others. So maybe the same will happen to Baal (Dunno tho, we'll see)
It would be nice if you mention in game sources of where you get all this lore. Like books, mats description, world quest, random npc's. Other than that, i always love your to the point video
iirc.
lore for sasayuri (the tengu general) is from the book sangonomiya chronicle
lore for chiyo is from weapon ascension material (the oni mask)
lore for kitsune saiguu is from sacred sakura cleansing quest (dunno if there is another source)
You will always find the sources in the description. Although sometimes it may be delayed.
so hard to reference this man :D
@@CatWithBlueHat my bad, didnt check the desc. Your channel is always my go to genshin lore if i search for quick and to the point answer. I would like to know if you consider to make some more detailed lore/specullation video
Ngl her character teaser was one of the saddest by far.
Her story quest or the next archon quest in general might feature both her inner and current personality trying to convince each other of who really is the real identity of Raiden, atleast that's what I've speculated since 2.0
like her happy memories from the past ?
@@TheNefari yep
Zhongli after all of these: come sit down here and join me enjoying this eternity. Osmanthus wine always tastes good tho
Zhongli in the background be like...."where are those who share the memory"
Down the line, we're going to be given a version update that allows us to explore the past. Similar to the upcoming fire moth update from honkai
Maybe as the abyss sibling who journeyed 500 years ago? That would be cool. We will also get these characters!
@@CatWithBlueHat I always talk ab how genshin 2 should be a prequel and we get to witness everything
Im finally able to understand these characters from the quests and desc and stuff since i have an image of them and arent getting mixed in my head
You definitely earned a sub! I love the amount of depth you went into for this, and you gave a lot of evidence of everything you said as well! I love it! Good luck for anyone pulling for the mighty shogun!
Actually at the part 3:09 it wasn't the past shogun that the current shogun chased after it, it was her twin sister, Raiden Makoto, the previous electro archon who died during the cataclysm.
Give it a break, this was done before the existence of that part.
the music u chose paired so well at 3:57 like, when she turned around she looked like a silent but deadly ruler, unapproachable, in a league of her own
Have to give her what she deserves.
@@CatWithBlueHat wow that was a fast reply
Random fact: If you look closely at 4:00, there is an Electro emblem at the base of her neck.
Sharp eyes
Every archon has a tattoo of their own element, Venti on his stomach, Zhongli on both of his palms and lastly Baal which is as u said, on the back of her neck
@@timfoil7961 really? I did not notice it. Is this on thier "Archon outfits"?
@@timfoil7961 does that where the gnosis is placed? Because La Signora takes Venti's gnosis from his stomach
@@moonleafx holy shi*
0:07 starting the teaser you can see an umbrella in left bottom corner, similar to what the Raiden lookalike is holding so I assume they are two different people
or maybe that person that looked like her could've been the previous archon, and since they look so similar maybe they were family, or maybe Baal simply took the previous electro archon's form so as to make them "eternal" in her image
Now we know why she's soo obsessed with Eternity.
Those were good times for her. These three Archons so far cared for and still care for their people despite their tactics and approach in doing so.
I honestly love this channel so much, I was spending so much time trying to decipher who her friends and her look-a-like were and now I know lmao
This is beautiful content... Nice job man
I was waiting for this one. Thnx for being this quick!
3:39 till the end
This ost is from Liyue but omg how is it fitting so perfectly with that scene 😭😭😭
At the part where Chiyo is devoured by a beast it's descriptions are very similar to that of a Demiurge.
It is a Nue, a Japanese Mythological Beast that consists of the face of a monkey, body of a tiger and tail of a snake.
I really waited for this when i saw your comments in Baal Teaser hehe
Aaah i love it, my recommendations are filled with lore videos instead of whiny videos about genshin anniversary. There’s plenty to unpack in such a short teaser video.
I think Baal is not actually evil, she is just misunderstood. Her intention is good but it is presented and carried out wrongly and her actions are not properly explained which is why some people revolt against her specifically the rebellion on watatsumi island
BAAL: 'did something to protect whatever she think is necessary '
*people resisted*
Baal: . . .
Decarabian: First time?
Can you really blame the people though
Kitsune saiguu has the earrings same as yae and it's color red so she's probably pyro.(doesn't mean she's gonna be playable tho)
She’s possibly clinging to the past, unable to accept and move on from what she has lost. Becoming a god and archon is a major thing, not just because of the power and authority one wields, but also the burdens it places on oneself. Many of them don’t last for more than a few centuries, because underneath all that power and divine might, is a human soul never meant to walk the earth for so long.
All the tragedy she has gone through, the pain of loss and defeat have marked her, taken from her something very precious and likely gave her life meaning. She knows her existence is a long one, that she will live for centuries more, but she cannot handle the guild and sorrow she feels, unable to move on and unwilling to let go of her divine power. She is caught in an endless loop that will eventually erode who she was.
Whatever joys she would have would turn bitter in time, that is the mark of godhood. To live on in spite of everyone else around you fading, and if you ever let them get too close, then you too will lose something of yourself as well.
Also a couple of things, during the word interjections before each ones die, you can see short scenes. The first one shows Raiden on a large scaly body, who is mostly Orobashi. In the one before Saiguu, you can see the giant bake-danuki Iori (the stone statue we talk to in cleansing quest) behind Raiden
If her Story Quest is released it will fill all our information and lore's about her and the past or even something dramatic like a scene of her losing someone...
I love you so much for posting this 💜☁️
Chiyo Needs to come back as a playable character. She is so beautiful
I want all of Baal three friends to be playable they all have such good character designs, but two of them are sadly dead
yes I agree I am simping
Love your content man, keep up the good work
Y'know, I had a lot of theories as to why Baal was seeking eternity like she is... and, honestly, this was not one of them... but, I can't say I dislike it. I understand the pain of loss, and not wanting to feel it. When you have that much power, it's only natural to try and find a way to prevent it.
Also, small headcanon, but, is it possible that the Tengu in this trailer is Sara's father? That familial bond could be what instilled such loyalty in her...
I thought about that Sara may be related too
They're similiar propably because of the same rank in army but I think he's like her grandfather or grand-grandfather because it was a long time ago
Whenever i need explanation about genshin story, i come to your channel. Great work as always !
Ok, so if Baal's story is sad and depressing being the "root" cause of her current ambition...then how messed up of a story would be the last Cryo Archon be?
Well, we will probably get a reason bigger than the archons why she collects the Archons batteries. Probably something to do with Celestia and/or the real gods, or even the Abyss order thou I'm not sure if that's a bigger issue or not. At least if her quest won't be Genshin's actual ending. I mean, Zhongli seems to kind of agreeing with her otherwise he wouldn't made that contract just to be a bored all day.
@@kalamona7530 Seemed to me Zhongli just wanted to avoid his duties if anything. He's pretty absolute with contracts that the only one he could get out of his own "contract" was to do what he did.
I bet the reason Cryo Archon is collecting gnosis is that she has some experiment to turn all them into a super weapon. Snezhnaya is looking into technology such product is the Delusions that grant similar power to vision. Might seem overkill to utilize all the elemental gnosis for the "grand" finale but hey maybe the cataclysm called for such drastic measures so that it doesn't happen again.
@@Knight456789 Well, we will see when the time comes eventually. Till then, everything is just in our heads :)
Bro I have never loved a genshin video more than that! Amazing job!
i already know, i'm going to cry during her story quest😭🖐️
Wow! You make content so fast! Nice
euthymia is the state of living without mood disturbances. commonly associated with bipolar disorder.
perhaps baal left a part of her behind in order to achieve eternity, in eternity everything stays the same. people dont die. her eyes are glowing and she looks cold in the next scene after trying to grab what seems like her other half. this is just my personal theory tho :,]
Man really did this video. Amazing job
Can't wait for Itto. I'll put him in a team with Ei, Yae, and Sara to parallel Raiden's old friends.
Lol
wait, who's Ei?
Danm, I didn't noticed anything of what you just said in the teaser😭😭 thanks for this 😊👌✨✨
Sad Immortals Vol. 5: Electro Boogaloo
What I wonder is what prompted Baal to act now, when the most recent of these losses were Saiguu and Chiyo 500 years ago. The two decrees started around a year ago, even before Zhongli's fake death. Did she reach her limit on her own, or did something in particular happen to her/is threatening Inazuma which urged her to act?
Amazing. Thank you!
That “lmao” in that thumbnail gets me everytime ahahah
The other person whom Raiden runs after in her teaser is the previous electro archon Raiden Makoto
At first, my thoughts were: she's selfish, want all the vision by herself
Now: I'm sorry
Thank you so much, I knew nothing about the first two and took it as she killed all three. I appreciate this explanation.
Maybe it's the 1st electro archon? (That raiden is chasing after) As far as we know they could look the same since archons can change their appearance as seen with Zhongli and Venti
you demonstrated the last part so well, got goosebumps
I finally understand now,, thanks
1 died, 1 monster, 1 sacrifice, 1 eternity
Ambition make people seek for power, Power leads toward change, Change can be good or bad, and example of bad change are :
1. Orobashi broke peace and invade Narukami Island which is a "change" to peace treaty and resulting Sasayuri death
2. Chiyo swallowed by beast that make her "change" and attack Raiden
3. Because people of Khaenriah seek power to "change" the world with the Art of Khemia, it led them into ruin known as cataclysm and this make Kitsune Saiguu consumed by the dark will.
The 2.0 trailer said that the person vision represent their ambition so i think the Raiden issuing vision hunt decree is to stop a bad change that could happen.
Visions don't just represent ambitions, thanks to the archon quest we know visions are the owner ambitions, and getting them confiscated leads to the loss of ambition, emotions and memory.
Nice vid as always!! Keep it up!
fun fact: this was posted before raiden shogun's launch. and now we knew that Raiden shogun (Ei) in this cutscene was chasing over her dead sister (Raiden Makoto) as if like she don't want her to fade away or to die, and stay with her for a lifetime, but all he had this present time was herself and her puppet (the raiden shogun) which where she pursues eternity where she stopped the nation's progress so that inazuma would not be affected by the heavenly principles (SPOILER ALERT)
Good shit I was looking at the serpent shadow and her friend that turned evil, then I saw your video, awesome job!
I am suspecting Orobashi might be a good being like Dvalin, but the Abyss has other plans like turning him into a weapon of war. Just like how they tried to take advantage of Dvalin's pain. Since there's still no way of cleansing the corruption within them before the other twin awakened Baal had to kill him. At this point its safe to say that we can blame everything to the abyss since they're good at screwing everything up in Teyvat lol. They even tried to control the god of vortex so the possibilities are endless
im waiting with anticipation to see her story quest. and i agree with all your speculations, it's the most reasonable
I love the way mihoyo make everything have meaning
ah I was waiting for this
Seeing raiden right now i realize this is zhongli is like in his past and if we ever encounter his past side not current we gonna be dead
Man i am grateful zhongli is different now and he accepted that one day he too will "erode" away. Unlike Raiden who still can't accept it and chasing eternity becoming the person she is now.
Zhongli is older than Baal, so he could've had way more friends that he lost than her. I think he eventually had to accept that everyone will probably eventually leave him, after all, all archons do live longer.
I do think in her storyquest(at least) should be about her accepting this fact, that's what I'm theorising. It will be nice if it was in the main story quest too, but I think the idea would actually be more suitable for her storyquest, too
Thanks for the information! :D
The teaser reveals so much about Baal's true motives behind trying to implement eternity. It either makes sure that she doesn't loose any more people close to her, or that her people wont have to go through the same pain she has gone through. I don't think she's in denial, though there's a chance that she is, but I feel that she's just trying to protect her people, as well as the fact that Celestia is constantly hinted at being a place full of Gods with cruel motives, and that vision bearers and Archons may be only pawns for them. Maybe the Raiden Shogun is trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone by implementing eternity, so that not only will her people not need to suffer such misery she went through, by taking away their visions they wouldn't need to face the fate of being a pawn of celestial beings that her people glorified and trusted.
That's fkn deep bro I hope they able to show that beautifully.
It's interesting how the archons handle their long lives and loss of loved ones differently. Venti decided to take on the form of his friend, Zhongli had long accepted it, and Raiden Shogun chasing after "eternity". It'll be interesting to see the how the other archons handle such situations in the future.
The first time I watched the teaser where the scene baal runs to the girl my first thought is that her mother / the first electro archon . But your theory made me believe this more convincing to think that's her in the past than my first thought.
"Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I remember... But where are those who share the memory?"
Great insight! This teaser added so much context to Baal's motivation and her ruthlessness in maintaining an unchanging eternity in Inazuma.
I really hope we get an in-game quest where we can actually meet up with Torachiyo or at least know more about her. Can't wait to get Baal and finish her story quest.
Cheers!
Thank GOD the Oni don’t look goofy, I’m excited to see Itto!
I got the Raiden shogun teaser video as an ad before watching this,youtube actually did a good job for once
Looks like she locked away all her emotions so she doesn’t want to get hurt again
i have no idea how u know so much but it makes it even better
These all happened from a few centuries ago right? What makes her want to suddenly implement eternity then? The vision hunt decree started last year in Inazuma. Hopefully we will get into detail soonn
I think the last part (the one who looks like her) was the previous archon/her mom (which makes her a demigod, and of course, have longevity.
(Which would also explain why she doesnt have a vision despite being a 2nd gen [we dont really know much about the replacement of archon and this is ofc speculation at this point])
I think Raiden longing for her mother is because:
1.She is family (ofc kek)
2. She longs for the peace her mother created (the past; presumably after the war of the gods)
Well the last part is just going to be based on everyone's headcanon so any interpretation is ok (unless mihoyo gives us the heads up that there is indeed a canon thing about that scene)
Good video!
Baal's "domain expansion" is like her safe place and also her battlefield, i think it has something to do with how she is today, that black and red planet thing behind her? i think that has to do with something that we the traveller have to deal with in 2.1
the fact she is one of the younger archons, is probably why she cant handle loss as well as venti or zhongli, and thus her emotions got the better of her by the use of eternity
Calm / broken / Shredded / and beautiful story line. I'm afraid that I'm going to be cry upon the end of the story.
3 commissions
Yashiro > kitsune > yae
Tenryu > tengu > sara
Kanjou > oni > itto ?
The figure Ei chased, maybe previous electeo archon? Since venti took mortal form same as his friend, Ei and previous archon has same figure since they are took the same form as eternity beauty?
And here we are as Aether/Lumine butting in someone else problem again 😂😂
just good job explaining all
Raiden is so interesting.
I wonder what her characer demo is gonna be like? **Insert thinking Zhongli gif**
I figured the Tengu guy was Sara's ancestor or some BS like that. The kitsune I was aware cause of the world quest. The oni was news to me, as was the description in the level up materials.
Still, none of that changes the fact that I still plan to beat Raiden senseless with the Thundersoother Razor I'm building right now.
