    Yep she's not the previous Electro Archon cuz she represent the 1000 eye god in the history of Japan (I think) like she's the Ying to Baal's Yang. She serves as the savior to the people who are left behind when the sword decree is still happening like the one happening in inazuma.

    So i guess Andrius wasn't the only non humanoid god. Also the fact that there s a mention to Narukami spirit draws a parallel with Andrius condition with the difference being that Andrius remained as a guardian in spirit form while the first Narukami became the tree.

      Non of the gods were humans. After the Archon war Celestia gave gnosis to the winners, therefore starting to grand vision and possibility for humans to ascend and become gods. Venti is a wisp, Zhongli is a dragon, Osial is a water creature.

      @@arturheart9940 That's right i meant that they had human form, like Morax looked like a human during the archon war at least i think based on the cutscenes about the past we see in game, tho you have instilled the doubt in me. I don't know if the cutscenes are 100% true or are just cinematic, maybe you re right and at their birth all the original archons didn't have human form, i don't know anymore.

      @@Rob-vj6ew Hmm, I'm not sure the cutscenes are from before or after the Archon war. Azhdaha probably is older than 2000 years but I think the Yakshas were summoned after the war to cleanse the land. I guess the storyteller portrays him as human to resemble the statue xD

    This. This make so much sens, so if I understand correctly the previous Electro archon is neither Yae lol or the "Great Kitsune" BUT was part of the Hakushin Clan !? This would explain the appearance of the statue which welcomes us to the port of Ritou.
    So since Baal is Narukami Ogosho (her given name / title) the second one was also a Naruka-something right!?
    For the fate of the previous archon ... So far each archon has a "pet" (Dvalin, Azdaha et) so we can imagine having to face in the future somekind of "Kyubi-like creature?
    So maybe what happened to the previous electron archon is the fate of all the Electro Archons !?(merging with the sacred Tree for cleaning purposes?) So maybe Ogosho is trying to prevent that? (just a theory) because we know thanks to the end of Morax arc that "Eternity" is not her first ideal, she changed it 1 years before the arrival of the Traveler and This is how Inazuma became a closed archipelago.

      @@Sacration I thought orobashi rose to the surface after/during the archon war because in the sangonomiya chronicles it said that
      "During the Archon War, Her Excellency the Almighty Raiden Ogosho brought all of Inazuma under Her unified rule. The masses bowed down in fear and awe and each was content with their lot, else they were annihilated. No longer did any covet that to which they were not entitled. The Great Serpent, Orobashi no Mikoto, had always remained in the western region and respected the boundary between itself and the Narukami, and the two had lived in peace. But now, it suddenly transgressed the boundary and invaded the east without warning."

      @tuan2352 3 роки тому +1

      This would make sense since each region thus far should have two weekly bosses. As of now, the leaks say the first Inazuman weekly boss, like Liyue, a Fatui harbinger; so, if the pattern is followed, the 2nd Inazuman weekly boss would be a "pet."

      Well that information came with the 2.1 update which was wayyyy after i made this video. Ill talk about it eventually. But i like giving my viewers at least a week before talking about new updates so i dont spoil them too much. Especially since the game has lots of casual players.

      I think when we meet ganyu, she say that venti is the only original archon from archon war. And cut seen already show us that baal die in fallen of kaenreah but yae say that ei and baal rule inazuma together. Not baal alone and ei as her kagemusha.
      I think ei is a kagemusha for previous electro archon that rule inazuma before her and baal.

  • @AsroGp

    Well, someone posted a similar theory on the Genshin_Lore subreddit. But there is some evidence that the Great Hakusin might not have been the previous electro archon....I will just leave my reply to that post here.
    The unprecedented lack of info about the First Electro Archon does indeed tempt us to regard the original Hakusin Kitsune as the original Electro Archon. However, the vol.2 of that book, "New Chronicles of Six Kitsune" also mentions the Shogun and her Shintai, which was apparently in the shrine's main hall! The Shogun could very well not be the Raiden Shogun we know. But this does imply that the first Hakusin Kitsune might not have been the first Electro Archon.
    And regarding that fox statue, from what we know, Ritou is a town created just 500 years ago by Hiiragi Hiroshi on a once desolate island. It is also revealed that Kitsune Saiguu and Hiroshi were good acquaintances or even friends. So, I think Hiroshi actually made a statue of her Kitsune/real form. The Halo appearing behind should be of no surprise as she is a fox goddess/divine fox(even a presumably mortal priestess such as Kokomi has a "Hagoromo"-floating scarf during her ult). You might also notice that the Fox statue is on top of a base. Further hinting that it is a man-made statue and not some Kitsune who turned to stone.
    Some other Redditors also pointed out that a few interesting insights on the Thunder Sakura tree can be gleaned from the Toki Alley Tales book series. According to the tanuki, in Toki Alley Tales Vol. 1, the land used to belong to them until the kitsune came along. When the war between the two sides ended, it says the tanuki "ceded the giant Thunder Sakura to the kitsune."

      It is a possibility. But even so it's hard to say if she has the same level of power or even memories because in Vol 1. of the New Chronicles of the Six Kitsune. Yae says to the writer. "You must be the only one still able to recite the stories she once told." Indicating that
      she has no recollections of past event. Events before she was born.
