That’s not exactly true. Bailu is also capable of destructive powers, but when the preceptors saw her potential, they didn’t want a repeat of the sedition so they shackled her tail. Bailu is actually the bloomborn scion, an experiment created by the preceptors. There’s a lot of in game evidence to prove this but I recommend watching Lalody’s lore videos because it helps explain this a lot. Dan Feng’s power was never split, because that would imply he chose her as the high elder (but that’s impossible because he didn’t know of her existence). The only thing proving this is that Dan Heng can’t heal yet, but there is no explanation for that. When Dan Feng was arrested, he didn’t speak a single word until his death. The preceptors claimed that Dan Feng said that Bailu should be his successor but he didn’t speak at all.
A correction, Dan Feng is Dan Heng's past life. Dan Heng's name was always Dan Heng, and he was exiled to protect him from the preceptors who wanted to keep him locked up for their own convienience. Dan Heng was not supposed to be locked up, he was only kept in the prison because preceptors lied about the situation. Which is why he was released. When the preceptors got bold about demanding him back that made Jing Yuan and the other arbitor generals side eye them. Hence why none of the generals or high ranking officials are shocked about the preceptors' betrayal in 2.5.
fun fact Dan Feng (DF for the rest of this for simplicities sake) was framed for the High Cloud Quintet disaster in relation to Baiheng/Bailu. Yes, Beiheng dies after following DF and Yingxing into battle, but that's where his involvement in her story ends. DF's real crime was bestowing immortality onto Yingxing using Shuhu's (an eminator of the Abundance) skin. Thats why a part of Blades kit is called "Shuhu's Gift". Also, Baiheng's death hit Jing Liu (JL from here on) hardest. Not DF. Baiheng was essentially her girlfriend with how close they were. JL tried to visit her after the battle because she had only just learned that Baiheng had died. She was initially denied, and succumbed to mara after seeing what happened. The only thing _really_ tethering her to sanity was her drive for revenge. "Out of 5, 3 must pay the price" was JL's creed originally. Blade picked it up through JL torturing him. Bailu was a product of the councel greenlighting Sanctus Medicus to perform experiments to introduce new life forms into the hatching rebirth cycle.
It's nice to know the Paths do relate something about the character like how the elements work in Genshin. Anemo characters with the exception of Jean always are affected by the death of someone close to them. This death greatly shapes who these people become. For better or worst. Pyro now is clearly about passing the torch from one generation to the next. How this torch is passed can be willing or Unwilling but in the end. It's an Inheritance of something from the Previous Generation.
I believe the Visions similar to Paths is hsr have their own stories and why their given, except, they don't play off as an extremely important part of the story and are relevant both gameplay-wise and lore-wise towards their characters, Which is also (i believe) why not many people know about how they play off. i only know that cryo is given to the ones stuck in between two roles, and Anemo is given to ones who have a will for freedom. It's definitely alot easier to make sense of and connect the dots as to why each character got there visions when you've been watching lore/theory videos and keeping up with everything for practically 4 years now, but i'm in no mood to drop my 58 page essay about every characters visions in one comment.
Just wanna say that you're my top fav Star Rail Lore content creator, and I LOVE this series of paths & types :D For a future video, maybe explained paths of both Bronya & Seele might be super interesting ~~
You can have multiple paths as a path raider (even at once, as Himeko explains). And maybe even as an emenator, as being one means you resonate so much with a path the aeon of it takes interest in you (or ... Nihility...), but that doesn't exclude the resonance with other paths in a lesser level.
perhaps a video on the elements of some characters could be a nice continuation. For example, Sparkle is Quantum because quantic is the superposition of particles in multiple places simultaniously, yet you can only see 1 at a time, like Sparkle who has multiple characters but you can only see one at a time. IL is an hydro dragon which is closer to ice, and when you go to his map, you see a greenish dragon swimming in the waves and another one where Phantilia awaits. The reason why he is imaginary and not ice could be because he is an emanator of Loong, and therefore, he has access to the imaginary tree, altering some parts of reality (same way adventurine was), and the reason why dang heng is wind is because the color of the dragon was originally green, so while he tries to be different from dang feng by changing his element, he ends up with a color similar to his as he cant run away. One i would be interested in is Acheron, as her superposition of alive and dead, meaningless and meaningfull would be more of a quantum character, so why electro? Becuase of her speed perhaps? Idk, but it feels like theres some lore behind the elements. Another example is pyro characters. A lot of them seem to be ignoring or rejecting their past, burning away any bridges that hold them back, in hopes of a better future that is led by a fiery pasion, like Himeko trying to escape from her planet because she was interested in travelling to other planets, Asta trying to abandon her family name for astrology, Guinafen moving planet twice and moving on from her past as pirates and refugees in order to entertain and make a living for her remaining family, firefly wanting to live her live, ignoring her initial postion as a living weapon, Fugue abandoning the luofu to go back to her planet, Hook ignoring her humble origins in hopes for helping everyone, Jiaoquiu wanting to ignore his experiences with death and war and just enjoy a good meal with everyone (just an exageration of mine, but he does try to heal anyone he can, even if the natural thing for everyone is to die eventually, an expirience he tries to ignore sometimes), those type of things. Idk about lingsha though, but its a good theory at least.
I believe Hanya's excuse for being harmony is that her kit and character were supposed to be the yin to Xueyi's yang. It feels like them together was supposed to basically be 5 star power split into 2 pieces if that makes sense. Xueyi got the destructive part, Hanya got the supporting part.
i was like yeah im gonna get dan heng on his rerun, i saw destruction and i was like "YESS I GOT HIM" and then clara appeared... this made me hate destrction path
please cook some more i made a request before, please make a video after patch 2.7 is out, i would like to know the analysis of fugue/Tingyun nihility/harmony path and Sunday harmony/order path
Ratio is not a Genius Society member, also it can very easily be answered with a quick Google search on his story importance but Ruan Mei is quite unique
Jingliu didn't exactly get mara struck from the Sedition, it was only Yinxing, she got mara struck some years after that event Also, you forgot the preceptors part
As much as i tend to dislike this character, I have to admit. This is going to be entertaining. I have always wondered why he was on the path of the hunt. (Which yes, i became addicted to finding out the reason behind characters second/alternative paths after watching a few videos of you're series even if i don't understand/know most of the Aeon origins and their stories and how they choose their emenators) So, i'll sit back, and eat my imaginary popcorn (Pun intended but accidentally.)
IL Dan heng is also destruction because he possesses Dan feng's destructive power whereas Bailu has his healing powers

they did call him dan feng in the prison he changed it after he left
4:23 I was wondering, why Dan Heng was Hunt, when he was the one being hunted by Blade. Now it makes sense.
It's for the Dan HUNG puns 😏
@@L3onking I want to quote LTG

Hey nova i dare you to do wlet snd himeko next ;)
Hoo boy, let's just hope covering March 7th wouldn't be a dozy once her full lore came out...
I love these videos ❤ Keep up the good work🎉. Also I would like to see a Dr. Ratio path analysis 😊, no pressure though 👍
I think I used too many emojis 💀

Hoyo doesnt do things for no reason but they do change their minds all the freaking time.
Okay now what is the true path of Dr.Ratio?
Mweh,I love him. He not only has a bunch of lore that I love memorising,and is a cinnamon roll with his friends,but also pretty as heck.
Bro pls do sampo and Argenti and welt pls waiting for a month
Cool video! Also, for the next video, can you explain Hanya’s and Yukong’s paths? I don’t understand why they’re specifically harmony.
I believe Hanya's excuse for being harmony is that her kit and character were supposed to be the yin to Xueyi's yang. It feels like them together was supposed to basically be 5 star power split into 2 pieces if that makes sense. Xueyi got the destructive part, Hanya got the supporting part.
only the high elder recives the Arcanum
2:11 - chickens have something like a belly button, too. It is called navel, I think. So... It is not that strange, actually.
So, Bailu is a Hunt path, Abundance type character?
I wonder why
Finally!!! It’s here!!!
simple i see dan heng i click but look who the poster is lol let’s watch it
You have got to do Rappa and Boothill
can we get a video on why Rappa is Erudition and Hunt please
2:10 i dont remember fully, but i do remember that Lingsha isnt a 100% Vidiyadara or something like that
She is 100% Vid
Chickens have something like a belly button, too. So they can have one, too.
Yae miko is a rappa guys
The series Remind me life path (sun) and birth number (mind/moon)
Next do why sampo is nihilty
Do Asta and Arlan next ❤
i was like yeah im gonna get dan heng on his rerun, i saw destruction and i was like "YESS I GOT HIM" and then clara appeared... this made me hate destrction path
Plz make video about ruan meii
please cook some more
i made a request before, please make a video after patch 2.7 is out, i would like to know the analysis of fugue/Tingyun nihility/harmony path and Sunday harmony/order path
There's no way you can possibly explain why Gallagher is an Abundance Unit and Rappa is an Erudition!
The genius Society pleasee. Why's Ratio Hunt (as a teacher shouldnt he be erudition??) and Ruan Mei Harmony? What could her path be??
Ratio is not a Genius Society member, also it can very easily be answered with a quick Google search on his story importance but Ruan Mei is quite unique
Maybe because he wants to eradicate stupidity?
Jingliu didn't exactly get mara struck from the Sedition, it was only Yinxing, she got mara struck some years after that event
Also, you forgot the preceptors part
Do ruan mei double paths n welt double path
But wouldn't dan feng (imbibitor lunae) be hunt path destruction type, since he is a xiangzou native?
As much as i tend to dislike this character, I have to admit. This is going to be entertaining.
I have always wondered why he was on the path of the hunt. (Which yes, i became addicted to finding out the reason behind characters second/alternative paths after watching a few videos of you're series even if i don't understand/know most of the Aeon origins and their stories and how they choose their emenators) So, i'll sit back, and eat my imaginary popcorn (Pun intended but accidentally.)

Ok, this ones are a lil dependent on your phrasing. A little far fetched
