@@anon7730 This punch contained all the power of the Pyro Archon, according to the description of this battle from the game archive, and he's still alive, even was going to continue the fight
@@krafuae Mavuika POV: Mavuika: He was a formidable opponent - exactly what I would expect from the First of the Fatui Harbingers. Capitano POV: Rezanov: My lord, we've received word that the Pyro Archon has lost much of her power. Rezanov: Although your injury complicates things, this is most certainly the opportune time to seize the Gnosis... "The Captain": Victory and defeat are rules, not outcomes. I have never taken advantage of an opponent in a time of weakness, and I don't intend to start now.
1:29 What I love about this Mavuika and Capitano clash is how neither allows the other to even catch their breath without instant retaliation. By casting a projectile or landing a heavy attack during their own activation frames. This really showcases the risk and reward of combat among Humans who've reached godlike stature.
And yet he got annhilated by just a single punch in the chest. For the “strongest” of the fatui, his introduction makes him actually quite the weakling especially when the pyro archon herself willingly nerfed herself before this lmao
@@jadeyumol4811 It's second for me too, but my favourite is Cyno vs. Sethos. The choreography is more grounded, you can see everything that's going on, and you fully understand the personal stakes of both fighters. That just makes it a better fight in my eyes.

@@ruby3312not just that, natlan too and some fatui. everyone that was basically fighting at that time, they were all his comrades sacrificing their lives during this war :(
In fact, based on his Сryo powers, he most likely creates a sword of ice for each duel. The same is true with Rosaria, it is implied that she does not use a physical spear in battle, a spear made of ice. It was also revealed in the comic that Keya goes unarmed because she relies on an ice sword (not a 3* sword, but a sword made of ice).

@@stevieveringus3857 I think he probably wasn't even using vision too, unless the ice blocks he launches counted as that, maybe his power is different? They did say Capitano have abyss related powers too
@@stevieveringus3857 Saw someone comment that the last punch he was going to use was using his abyss powers so maybe, it was confirmed that he had solid relations with the abyss too, so only in future quests ig
Sorry to burst your bubble but that's really no feat of strength in the Genshinverse. Visions or any kinda elemental power are theorized to give their wielders a 10 to 20 times boost in strength and endurance. All characters in the Genshinverse can easily use and wield a claymore with one hand but the choose not to cuz it's not their weapon of choice. Childe can use many weapons but he chooses to stick with the bow cuz that's what he prefers. Raiden can use a katana but she sticks with a naginata cuz that's what she prefers. There's many other examples but you get my point.
@@ashreille9917 No, because at base, Capitano is stronger. Than she used most of her powers to beat his base. If the fight continued, she would've lost for this reason imo
@@sangonomiyakokomi4218 I dont see that. They both did a similiar attack. The ice didnt melt and instead overpowered her initial attack. Than her attack overpowered his attack and injured him, which shows us that she had to use more power than she wanted to originally. This alligns with her worried expressions after the fight and when fueling the flames, showcasing she lost most of her power in that attack and than the remaining leftover went to the flames as fuel.
Now watching this after the 4.3 archon quest. Capitano fought mavuika while carrying a lot of souls with him and constantly hearing their echoing voices in his head. Rest in peace Capitano 🕊️

One thing I like about Capitano is how, despite being badly injured, still wants to fight even if the fight’s not as even but when he hears about the pyro archons’ power weakening, he refuses to fight as he’d rather fight her at her full strength
They're a bit different. If he's injured during battle, or if he injures his opponent during battle, he'll finish the fight regardless of how that injury changes things. What he won't do is engage a weakened opponent and take advantage of a situation. Capitano strolled into the colosseum just before Mavuika was going to sacrifice her power. I think Capitano knew that he'd never get a chance at an honorable fight after this moment.
@@darkreaper2528I mean mavuika herself said that the harbingers have their own cause and are only together for the gnosis so capitano is definitely a good guy who will help us save the pyro nation
‘top 3 harbinger par on archon’ ? 😝😝😝 the doctor barely overpowered nahida bcs nahida is just a fragment of her original past-self capitano struggle against human who have archon title 😭😭😭 what a joke huh. imagine if capitano getting assigned in inazuma 😂😂😂
With hindsight, (5.3 spoilers) Capitano was rotting, had a shadow of his former physical strenght, hadn't slept in 5 centuries, had hundreds if not thousands of souls inside him and it was still this close (they were both holding back not just Mavuika before people bring that up) What the hell was Khaenri'ah feeding their army 💀
Just rewatched the entire battle from 01:23 on 0.25x speed - still sooo much action, and so many details I've missed initially! Try it, you won't regret.
Arlecchino believes without his strength he is worthy of respect regardless; he didnt clash with Varka's expedition; and he decided to not force his way in after learning that the archon weakened herself. The harbinger rankings dont lie, this man is onto something, because perhaps this battle is just his way of throwing himself into the ring of fire. 📃 🤓 Edit: im gonna place my guesses since the comments bellow are mixed. Capitano is from Natlan, thus the personal interest that Mauvika felt was beyond the Tsaritsa, and would lowkey explain why he's such an honorable/lawful strategist captain because natlan people see war as honor to defend the country. He expressed intentions to reform Natlan either knowingly or unknowingly to Mauvika's plan of getting 6 influential warriors from each tribe, it wouldnt be the first time this happens, Arlecchino did aid during Fontaine's crisis for interests of keeping her children safe, while pushing the prophecy to fruitition and gaining the Gnosis as a 2 birds 1 stone. I would also emphasize that personal interests of harbingers isn't new. Think Dottore Academia, Signora Venti, Scara Shogun. They all hailed from these nations and came back to get the Gnosis + a personal goal fulfilled. (Pookie childe just getting casually trolled in each archon quest lol, he just wants to fight) Captiano being from Natlan would also explain why he has an aura like other Natlan characters, an aura we've never seen any other harbinger use. Second, Mauvika felt something was off about him, which foreshadows the rest of the story, which we all have no idea what's gonna happen. Guys, the rest is for hoyo writers to cook 🍳 instead of fighting on who beat who, lets all rejoice on this masterpiece of story and character interactions. Instead of saying Captiano lost and retreated, let's ask ourselves why this mastermind *willingly* left with Ororon even after showing intentions to resume and what the punch Mauvika dealt actually did to him.
He is definitely having something personal with Mavuika and her plan to save Natlan, and imo it's even more suspicious if you add the fact that they didn't show Mavuika's father during her memory cutscene. Hmm, what does he actually want?
This was much needed, we never had a full fight that felt fully satisfying animated before. Also it should be pretty obvious both of them didn’t use their full power.
I love how the battle portraits that Mavuika and Capitano are stonger in different aspects. When it comes to hand to hand combat/fighting technique Capitano is more advanced and managed to overpower Mavuika and kick her in the air. On the other hand Mavuika has greater pure strength/elemental power. She manages to completely counter Capitnano's cryo attacks and he on the other hand struggled countering the fire projectiles that Mavuika took advantage with. When they exchanged elemental infused fists Mavuika did greater damage to Capitano. It's uncertain who would have won in the end since they were left to fight hand to hand, Capitano is better at it but he suffered greater injuries. I really hope we get to see round 2 since this was the most equal fight in the entire game.
But this fight, Mavuika actually won this fight. Whatever you say, The Captain flee and that what makes him lose this fight. Mavuika literally ready for the the round 2 but Fraudtano flee off.
@@manth5440 this wasn't an organized competition that you can say the captain lost because he fled. it's like what mavuika said that the victory was superficial and the abyss was merely driven back. capitano is now recovering and he will return, a lose in this fight means nothing. and my guess is we will have to fight him on mavuika's behalf, probably with the power of a gnosis, who knows. get ready.
@@farhanrejwan Bro if someone flees from the other after exchanging blows, it's clear he was at a disadvantage and therefore felt the need to preserve their life over continuing the fight. Therefore he "lost"
@@4shura__shura he himself didn't exactly flee, in case you're wondering. he was getting ready with another fist regardless of the outcome. the traitor smoked the area and convinced him to flee for that time being. he only agreed to when he saw a bigger gain in fleeing.
I never thought about it that way! When I saw it the first time, I just thought that Capitano clenching his fist was what summoned the fog, I didn't notice that he was actually bracing for another attack, and the fog came from elsewhere.
Did anyone notice that Capitano has a glow around him when he uses cryo at 2:30 that is similar to the natlan characters when they use their elemental powers? I think this is pointing to Capitano being from Natlan!
Or maybe he has an Ancient Name? Mavuika said you can forge a new one even for the Traveller, an outsider. Maybe having an Ancient Name allows you to use Nightsoul state, wouldn't be surprised if Pyro Traveller can use it too.
Signora's first introduction: Mondstat Scaramouche's first introduction: Inazuma (not counting the 1.1 event since it was limited) Dottore's first introduction: Sumeru Arlecchino's first introduction: Fontaine So it is most likely he is from Natlan, or maybe he is just an exception like Childe
coming from 5.3 You fought well Capitano even when You lost this fight. Now we know what responsibilities and sufferings You had😢 Rest in peace Our Goat ❤
@@Fremmynetwe'll probably do since mavuika is the one who broke his weapon, I bet she will give him his signature weapon as compensation for breaking his weapon.
Even though this is just the beginning of Natlan arc, we were able to see a battle like this already, which gives me hope that the future battle will be epic🔥

Captiano being from Natlan would also explain why he has an aura like other Natlan characters, an aura we've never seen any other harbinger use.
Second, Mauvika felt something was off about him, which foreshadows the rest of the story, which we all have no idea what's gonna happen.
Guys, the rest is for hoyo writers to cook 🍳 instead of fighting on who beat who, lets all rejoice on this masterpiece of story and character interactions.
Instead of saying Captiano lost and retreated, let's ask ourselves why this mastermind *willingly* left with Ororon even after showing intentions to resume and what the punch Mauvika dealt actually did to him.
Capitano is the most respected harbinger even Childe says he wants to fight with him but admit he still not match with him
He is definitely having something personal with Mavuika and her plan to save Natlan, and imo it's even more suspicious if you add the fact that they didn't show Mavuika's father during her memory cutscene.
Hmm, what does he actually want?
@@daridon2483sussy sus, and he even mentions the plan made 500 hundred years ago
"Victory and defeat are both rules, not outcomes" if I remember his phrasing right. That line went so hard.
he still lose
Hoyoverse getting better with fight scenes and the choreography with each quests. For me this was their best one by far. Absoloute cinema
The Captain, the legend, the goat. Take a rest, you deserve it 😭
Well fought, Captain
May you rest as the legend of natlan
This was much needed, we never had a full fight that felt fully satisfying animated before. Also it should be pretty obvious both of them didn’t use their full power.
We have just got one in 4.6 in Cyno's second story quest, and it is as impressive and as long as this one
The punch Mavuika gave to Capitano was fully powered. You can see that in the game archives.
@@glory_m99people sleep on it so much, it’s such an amazing fight
@@1manshow10yet he survived. Just goes to show how insane his durability is. That was also powered by sacred flames and her archon powers
Well it was obvious who had upper hand tho
Imo this is the one of the if not the best fight scenes hoyo has made.
No lengthy back stories, no flashbacks, just 2 god like beings fighting.
Have you played HI3? If not, you could look up some of their cutscenes they go hard af. My favorites are Final Lesson and Cyberangel: ZERO Exception
HI3 has many epic battles, kinda spoiled me genshin after
Well, it's Genshin's best.
Their older games had better fight scenes in my opinion.
But putting that aside, this is still really good.
kiana vs sentience cough cough
@@tg00z you forgot kevin vs durandal fight scene. but then again, HI3 has many such cutscenes as it has been around for many years now.
Capitano does have the cryo outline in his body when he flies, indicating his hometown to be Natlan.
interesting observation, i guessed he was from natlan, but this gives even more evidence
Also there is a rumor circulating that he is Mauvika's Dad...
@@ElmoreDucks lol.
I mean his dad was absent when she was traversing the memories thing but I still doubt it because capitano is only a human@@ElmoreDucks
@@ElmoreDucks ngl I'd take it over it being her sister and pulling a HSR
I love how the battle portraits that Mavuika and Capitano are stonger in different aspects. When it comes to hand to hand combat/fighting technique Capitano is more advanced and managed to overpower Mavuika and kick her in the air. On the other hand Mavuika has greater pure strength/elemental power. She manages to completely counter Capitnano's cryo attacks and he on the other hand struggled countering the fire projectiles that Mavuika took advantage with. When they exchanged elemental infused fists Mavuika did greater damage to Capitano. It's uncertain who would have won in the end since they were left to fight hand to hand, Capitano is better at it but he suffered greater injuries. I really hope we get to see round 2 since this was the most equal fight in the entire game.
damn, this one underrated insightful comment in the sea of many other overrated dumb arguments.
But this fight, Mavuika actually won this fight. Whatever you say, The Captain flee and that what makes him lose this fight. Mavuika literally ready for the the round 2 but Fraudtano flee off.
@@manth5440 this wasn't an organized competition that you can say the captain lost because he fled. it's like what mavuika said that the victory was superficial and the abyss was merely driven back. capitano is now recovering and he will return, a lose in this fight means nothing. and my guess is we will have to fight him on mavuika's behalf, probably with the power of a gnosis, who knows. get ready.
@@farhanrejwan Bro if someone flees from the other after exchanging blows, it's clear he was at a disadvantage and therefore felt the need to preserve their life over continuing the fight. Therefore he "lost"
@@4shura__shura he himself didn't exactly flee, in case you're wondering. he was getting ready with another fist regardless of the outcome. the traitor smoked the area and convinced him to flee for that time being. he only agreed to when he saw a bigger gain in fleeing.
Kinich : /preparing to fight Capitano
Mavuika : " give me the weapon "
Kinich : " okay mom.. "
Capitano’s durability is insane, later they showed mavuika’s punch crushed the roof of the night kingdom, and it only injured him.
That's really good point
that was her consciousness, no?
Yeah but she didn’t do it physically
@@thawsomepancakes3615 yes so it should be even weaker no?
Do genshin players read? That wasn't "real". She didn't have her powers anymore at that point. She used Natlan's stories as fuel.
3:35 The Captain actually intended to go further, but the Master of the Night Wind member decided it was time to retreat
I never thought about it that way! When I saw it the first time, I just thought that Capitano clenching his fist was what summoned the fog, I didn't notice that he was actually bracing for another attack, and the fog came from elsewhere.
@Iiiiiiiii69iiiiiiiiiino it was ororon. the guy who stood next to him in the ignition teaser
Thanks for pointing this out, cuz I missed that tidbit abbot Night-Wind!
@@Seraphim_1172Ditto! 😮❤
Going back to the corner where i first saw you... Captain 😭😭😭😭
2:56 Kinich: Archon, My.. Weapon.. 👁👄👁
also it this fight can be summarized into just "The Strongest Human in History Vs The Strongest Human of Today" lmao
@@SylphieeeeQT, Do you read Records of Ragnarok? The latest match, between "The ultimate Manslayer vs the ultimate Godslayer"?
I guess she has a special 5 star weapon for him besides that it was a 4 star weapon i guess he wouldn't mind
Gotta roll for it again
@@wbxwd0064 Yes I do and its Perfect that I haven't caught up to the latest chapter yet, thanks for reminding me!
CAPITANO: it falls to me to create new RULES
MAVUIKAS: Rules...are made to be BROKEN
stella reference?
wait a secondo
Gaming: I feel a disturbance in the force
@@Maxich_era Who is Stella?
@@justmeunicorn lol you never played star rail?
bro when they were just casually flying in the air and fighting like ita nothing😭
Did anyone notice that Capitano has a glow around him when he uses cryo at 2:30 that is similar to the natlan characters when they use their elemental powers? I think this is pointing to Capitano being from Natlan!
Or maybe he has an Ancient Name? Mavuika said you can forge a new one even for the Traveller, an outsider. Maybe having an Ancient Name allows you to use Nightsoul state, wouldn't be surprised if Pyro Traveller can use it too.
i really hope hes from natlan
Signora's first introduction: Mondstat
Scaramouche's first introduction: Inazuma (not counting the 1.1 event since it was limited)
Dottore's first introduction: Sumeru
Arlecchino's first introduction: Fontaine
So it is most likely he is from Natlan, or maybe he is just an exception like Childe
@@tiekogalaxylatte8839 that's an amazing theory also!
I mean arlecchino is of fontaine only in name and not in nature but she grew in the house of the heart in Fontaine so i get your point@@nnaaannnaa
0:16 wqhen he came on screen so did i honestly
LMAO BE FR
😂😂😂😂
I literally s(creamed)!!!
please be serious 😭😭🤣🤣
where's the class?????? 😭😭😭
That kick was diabolical 1:40
she didn't even feel that poor kick.
@@thebombshellmale I'm sure she did, she even sounded like she got hurt by it
She tried to lighten up the impact by covering her belly with her arm but still he kicked her to oblivion even his leg went up
@@thebombshellmalecope harder
@@thebombshellmaleShe literally grunted in pain from it. Fym "didn't even feel"?
coming from 5.3
You fought well Capitano even when You lost this fight.
Now we know what responsibilities and sufferings You had😢 Rest in peace Our Goat ❤
Well fought, captain 🫡🫡
And HIM only faltered when she struck him in the heart! iykyk...
From fighters, to comrades, to sacrifices
Rip my bro ❤, you saves mavuika from Ronova
Hoyo how could you take him away from us 😭
came back after a year to this, this game has rlly improved so much its crazy
You shall be missed Kinich's Claymore
I wonder if we'll see him getting his signature weapon in his story quest
@@Fremmynetwe'll probably do since mavuika is the one who broke his weapon, I bet she will give him his signature weapon as compensation for breaking his weapon.
I love how the animation is so fast and fluid but still makes it clear what is happening.
I defo didn't expect the cutscene to be a full out battle. Hoyo far exceeded my expectations with this one.
2:34 When you’re a lucky streamer and did a ten pull:
Mavuika my beloved
🥰
The Strongest Pyro Archon of Natlan vs The Strongest Fatui Harbinger in history. We getting peak fight scene with this one.
Honestly I think Xbalanque was stronger because of the fact that he beat the authoritless pyro sovereign of natlan
The fact that she wasn’t even holding her own weapon
Been loving everything Natlan so far, from the story to the gameplay and THEM CUTSCENES!! Most fun I've had in genshin in a while ^^
2:12 The Final Lesson flashback kicked in for me...
Glad I'm not the only one noticed that. It brought back some feelings to me.
Shes never beating the Himeko allegations
😭😭😭😭😭😭
also 2:51 those fire wings...
I won’t let you go…
Kinich: "holds the claymore with two hands"
Mavuika: "gestures to hand over the claymore and held it with one hand without effort"
You know, I'm super glad that Genshin uploads its cutscenes. Imagine watching this only once.
why does it looks like someone getting a five star 2:34
Rewatching this after Act III and IV hits different
Even though this is just the beginning of Natlan arc, we were able to see a battle like this already, which gives me hope that the future battle will be epic🔥
Capitano was still about the smoke even while wounded, if not for night wind dude he was gon keep swinging
In the Final Chapter, he finally won the duel. Well fought my Lord. O7
0:51 Putting on shades pre-fight? An icon I fear
Kyojuro: "Set your heart, ablaze."
Firefly: "Set the sea ablaze."
Mauvika: "Set your hair ablaze."
|'Edit'| ~ Forgot one..
Raiden Shogun: "Set Signora Ablaze."
Me after losing to Yanqing E2 in HSR : heart & brain ablaze
Haven’t finished the archon quest yet but following the tread
Yamamoto: “Set your soul and the world ablaze”
Who is Kyojuro?
Ubuyashiki: Let your house ablaze
@@macabre21A Rengoku from Demon Slayer
"Archon, it's the Fatui!"
And now he is no longer with us 😔
The Best Fight of Genshin Ever Pls Keep doing these things
Capitano: Makes a new world order speech.
Mavuika: Shut up and fight.
I think this is one of the best fight in Genshin Impact
He indeed created new rules 🥲
Poor Kinich, his sword was destroyed by the pyro archon
I'd consider that an honor at that point.
He can just wish for another one when his banner is up 😏
@@batteriesnotincluded4734this sword is Natlans craftable sooo
@@Jasiuc330 yeah he just needs to lvl up his tona tablet and get that natlan claymore thing to craft it
It means he will get a new 5 star weapon as it was 4 star
0:09 the way he ran 💀💀
PFFT that’s not running away 😒 what level of delusion are you on?
Bro was NOT HAVING ANY OF THAT 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
I would too if I saw Capitano coming towards me
@jsw973 yeah towards him.
Coming back here after the 5.3 main quest!
Gigachad Capitano! Absolute cinema!
Just avoiding any spoiler so I keep this comment short
“And that's how I met your mother, kids”
Kinich: Bastards...
Mavuika: hand it. hand me your weapon
Kinich: Okay mom here you go
0:40 the nuclear bomb outside my house:
The strongest archon
Reminder that neither character was fighting at their full power
Still cap lost
MY GLORIOUS GOATHIMTANO, HOYOVERSE DID YOU SO DIRTY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
