Yeah the reason is to Arlecchino being a mother shows cruelty but comfortably and lovingly however her manner being a father means benevolence and care but in a strict and unfeeling manner as she said
They are contrasting with each other previous harbinger was "gentle" like a mother yet cruel, Arlecchino is strict like a "father" yet caring. Its a nice detail maybe be thats why she picked it up rather than sticking up with "Mother"
Oh my so real, ‘mother’ being (i forgot her name) but the woman above Isabel, and ‘father’ being Isabel and then Lyney, Lynette, Freminet would be Norman, Ray and Emma and then just all the other characs the other children xD
Pretty sure the animation was done by "Ufotable". The same animation studio that does Demon Slayer and the Fate Series. Their works are usually such high quality they became a meme known as "Unlimited Budget works". Based off a move animted from Fate called "Unlimited Blade works".
@@Vert344not by ufotable they aren't working on genshin rn cause demon slayer hoyo has their own animation studio for this kinda stuff check the ending of any HI3 animation for source
@@manansharma6204 it's not that. In the comedia del arte play (where the harbingers are based from) the Character of Arlecchino was also known as "The Knave" which literally translates to "servant" Arlecchino was a servant of pantalone. Arlecchino was a dishonest, sly and a trickster. Otherwise a untrusting person. That was what the person ment the Arlecchino from genshin impact having the title of the knave the knave translates to slave that's it.
Clervie(arle’s friend) was the “mother”’s biological daughter, who was mistreated and abused for being too weak. Thats why arlecchino asks “do mothers usually argue with their daughters?” It sadly got lost in the localization
@@tonkababic9826 yes, and also you can see that her necklace is the same flower(mother was talking about her when she mentioned the flower before the battle! And arle also remembered her when she looked at the flower after getting hit!)
So her name is Peruere, she has been cursed ever since she was a child, she killed her friend Clervie, cause the former harbringer “mother” who she also killed, made the children of the Hearth fight amongst themselves to raise the best of em.
In the original Chinese, Clervie is said to be the previous knave’s biological daughter! This fact didn't translate in the English version for some reason
8:23 The studio working on the Genshin anime has its own commitments. In order to maintain quality, they never make 2 anime series in 1 broadcast phase. the contract is finished/the story is finished then they release the new series. For now, they just have to finish the demon slayer story, which is estimated to have 1 season & 1 movie remaining. After the series ends, the Genshin anime can be released. Wait passionately and it will payed off🔥
I'm don't want to be this guy but a studio can work on different anime at the same time. That's why studio Mappa have been releasing so much stuff, the studio is divided in teams and each team works on a different serie.
@@misse2802 Mappa? Oh yes, that studio with a lot of drama. a studio that always had internal problems with its animators. There's who complained about his work environment, and there's who complained that the studio not even care about their own animator's health. And also the biggest problem is "deadline" Many aniators complain about deadline problems. where brands are asked to complete parts of the project within sometimes unreasonable time limits. Nah bro Ufotable is good
@@ryansurya4724 I never said Mappa management technique was okay, I just said that the same studio can work on different projects. And also, the first short trailer for the Genshin anime came out while they were still working on Demon Slayer.
@@misse2802I think what they meant to say was that UFOtable never releases two animes at the same time. Genshin is already in the works but they won't release the series until they finish DEMON SLAYER since they already contracted that series.
Also did anyone notice how her arms slowly develop the curse and turned dark as the short progress and eventually peaked during the end of the fight against the previous harbinger?
3rd third I guess Peak Arlecchino casually killing a Harbinger, the animation and music was very well made I am still waiting for the Ufotable anime to drop, but yeah Mihoyo is cooking with the godly design and animations her backstory seems pretty sad and also her origin probably is the same as Caterpillar who is a Cursed Khaenriah citizen who somehow is able to turn back into a human form and grow It gives me The Promised Neverland vibes This was animated by their Mihoyo anime division For those that didn't notice the children of the House were used as test subjects which is there was a needle and her friend had so many bandages
@@user-sq1oi9qp8w remember the human body modifications that they do, all the fatui troops have very irregular bodies which means that the Fatui are doing experimentations on the children that they brought from other nations, you can find more details in the Genshin manga
@@Aman_Mondal I think you're right but the twist might be that these experiments are done by Pierro to find out how to deal with or "study" the Khaenri'an curse for his own benefit. Might even be Arlecchino's own blood being used for the children in her batch. At this point I'm almost certain she's a lost Khaenri'an as there is no evidence of any other nation or people being affected by "hilichurlification", and the funny pupils are a dead giveaway (all of them have unique pupils so far).
@@ZETA14.88its stated ingame for a while that the previous Arlecchino Was a harbinger too but they never mention her old rank. By killing the previous Arlecchino she inherited the title.
I loved this my favorite part is "mother my answer is no" before blowing her up with that amazing blast animation Now I'm curious about the story quest, cant wait to play it!
I mean so far we know that she: - killed a noble pedo to save Lynette - put a lot of time and resources to stop the prophecy - didn’t kill Furina once she realized the “Archon” was actually powerless - helped Poisson during their crisis - trained the kids to be assassins, sure, but also to defend themselves I’m not saying she’s a cinnamon roll, but I wouldn’t call her cruel either - she’s pragmatic.
@@biazachaexactly. I wouldn’t say she’s straight evil based off of what we know of her now. More like morally gray, as she seems to have some type of moral compass.
0:45 That stitched up bat is Il Dottore, it’s using a stethoscope and is rather monstrous. Nahida described him as a monster in the Wanderer quest. Wouldn’t be surprised if the HoH was a major source of children for his experiments. This could also have implications about whether he has continued to tamper with the HoH children.
So many little nuggets of info in just one video! Arlecchino was disgusted by the actions of her "Mother" who acted nurturing but was cold and ruthless. Now, she continues the House of the Hearth as the "Father" who is seemingly cold and ruthless but who actually cares about the children. We also know that she is afflicted with a curse of some kind, which manifests by the blackness creeping over her hands and arms, much like Caterpillar.
I dont know why noone is mentioning this, but I always thought that you could see the Surprise in Arlechinno's eyes when her best friend is stabbed. I think she refused to kill her friend so she instead did the trope where she jumped into Arle's sword and that's why she said sorry and "youll be a great King"
It's probably HOYOANIME that animated this,since most of the genshin animations aren't commisioned to other studios due to artstyle difference and goreness level of genshin, but since they said frick it to both,it probably might be it.
I think this is the first time hoyo did something like this for a character,and it fuqin slaps!!!! The hype is real!!!!!! I repeat the hype is realllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!💀💀💀💀
@@MistyswirlThere is a big reason behind it First is that she doesn't want to become a " Mother" as she think mothers are manipulative and cruel just like crucabena ( the previous knave ) Crucabena was kind and caring on the outside, not on the inside though. So she strived to be " Father " because she believes fathers are strict and strong but is straight with the children and honest with the children. That is why " she prefers to be called father, she doesn't want to become like the previous knave." In conclusion she is strict and unfeeling but actually love and cares for her children secretly. If you did the archon quest you know she does love her children because she prioritizes them learning how to survive than making themselves be in a dangerous situation.
I've been wondering why the music reminded me of something in this animation, especially this part 5:49 until the end. Then after listening to it multiple times, it reminds me of Sohyang's cover for You Raise Me Up for Immortal Song.
The fact that Scara wears his coat open at the end, with his legs (and arms, kinda) bare, because he is a puppet and does not feel cold, is such a small but neat detail.
Incredible!Such a great animation,the transition from childhood memories to fire,the fight being better than half anime (at least to me cause movement and all) and the symbolic of a ruthless but caring father against the loving but cruel mother.I heard some people say the place seen in the trailer with the siblings Freminet and the Traveler might be the same place seen in this animation!If it s true,that s so amazing!The girl seen is also on the version image or something,will we meet her ghost?I m so hyped!Also good luck to yall for Arlecchino and her weapon!(Please someone wish me good luck too lmao).
Lore for Arlecchino is so good. I hope they do this with all the remaining. Teased former Harbingers and showing off Captain. Since he was at her ascension wonder if she'll end up given us even more lore bombs about him.
her friends necklace is the same flower “mother” prunes down. also the same flower which will be arlecchino farming material which is interesting yet sad.
Btw, if you notice the credits for the VA's in the description of the video, Pierro is described to be the "Director of the Fatui", rather than a Harbinger, an interesting tid bit of info
"come with me, i will raise you as my child like a strict and unfeeling, father" i feel like she says strict and unfeeling isn't about being disconnected, but not letting her personal feelings get in the way of how she raises them unlike how "mother" did
To be honest, I wasn't convinced to her at the fullest, I just wanted her because her playstyle looks amazing, but now after this, I want her because I started to like her. Amazing animation.
i like how father isnt just a title, for arlecchino a mother is someone horrible who show false love and is horrible on the inside, so she dicide to be a father who is strict and emotionless on the outside but she really cares on the inside.
the way arlecchino looked at the bell flowers beside her because it reminded her of Clervie 5:06 - 5:11 ( cuz her friend Clervie wears a bell flower around her neck) 😭😭😭😭😭this short is PEAK CINEMA BRO
I was going to pull for her but now even more .I hope this is sign for more amimated shorts for other characters that we will get .Like this is good way to hype up characters
the fact that Clervie used dull blade is such a nice detail from mihoyo to show that she does not want to fight Arlecchino from the start and let herself get killed for Arlecchino's sake, knowing how the previous house of the hearth rules are
Defenitly pulling on Arlecchino ehdjsb even more after watching this short animation ! The animation and music were so sick ! She is so badass !! The kick and her fast movements with her flamed sword were absolulty insane !!
THIS IS SO PEAKKK GENSHIN ANIMATION! it makes me so hype for the anime. my jaw was on the floor the entire time, just every little detail is SO purposeful and adds to much to her character also gotta say.. gives me so much hope for how well the game-combat translates on screen. this?? WAS BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you for the reaction video! Love your videos! Unsure if you saw but Genshin has already dropped her teaser. Its definitely worth a watch if you havent seen it yet! i cant wait for the demo now! Im excited for arlecchino! Thank you again!
I cried the first time I watched it, and it just convinced me even more that I NEED to pull for her. This whole animation is so intense. When she showed up to fight the previous Knave I just yelled at my screen ,,KILL HER!" because I got so angry at this woman. And this reminded me so much of "The Promised Neverland". Watched both seasons, and I'm not gonna give any spoilers, but it really has similar vibes. And generally, I think the Harbingers have some of the most relatable and harsh backstories so far. I'd theorize that in the end, the Fatui are at least not generally evil. I'd say whether they are the good guys or the bad guys depends on perspective, but that's a topic for another time. Anyway, I'm glad that Arlecchino got to where she is today, because that "Mother" was a piece of garbage. Also, I've read many comments under the original video, saying that the "Mother" appears to be loving and caring, but is a freaking psycho in reality, while Arlecchino seems cold-hearted and strict, but only because she deep down cares about her children and wishes them to grow up into strong and independent individuals. Fascinating contrast.
😢 1:45 the song about the bird in the cage, it about paradise.. huh promised Neverland reference?? expect the price to be paid are Siblings ( all sisters and brothers death except Arlecchino ) .. welp that going dark 🗿 ahh Hoyo
"uh-um-ah.... take my money.." most relatable statement😂😂 Bruh i've been waiting for Arlecchino ever since her design was first revealed in that Harbinger trailer. Words cannot explain how hyped i am for her to finally be in my roster😩 The lore is just so goddamn good, i feel like im about to cry when i read her lore and how this short just showed us it with the amazing visuals and crazy animation😭 It just made me love Arlecchino a million times more from this short film❤
I’m just looking forward to the frame by frame video breakdown. This is basically an entire lore dump where there is evident foreshadowing and implied exposition.
Originally when Fontaine trailer came out I did one of those "who are you going to pull for" charts on the Hoyo app. The only character I marked "yes" was Arlecchino. I knew I wanted to get her. These trailers are not changing my choice, but they're just REALLY good quality HYPE.
With the former Harbinger being Mother and now Arlecchino being the Father, that is just brilliant.
I LOVED THAT
In some ways, it can be considered a good balance, I like that
Yeah the reason is to Arlecchino being a mother shows cruelty but comfortably and lovingly however her manner being a father means benevolence and care but in a strict and unfeeling manner as she said

The reason Arle had to wait to get back into the fight is because she was gearing and changed all her artifacts to have spd sub stats… true
I just noticed is that Fontaine waterfall or im just mistaken cause in the trailer its the same building that was destroyed too 3:29
The place where Arlecchino fight with "Mother" is her Trounce Domain
Some people may not have noticed but it looked like the “mother” had water powers something like that and arlecchino the “father” has pyro powers soo
i like how father isnt just a title, for arlecchino a mother is someone horrible who show false love and is horrible on the inside, so she dicide to be a father who is strict and emotionless on the outside but she really cares on the inside.
the way arlecchino looked at the bell flowers beside her because it reminded her of Clervie 5:06 - 5:11
( cuz her friend Clervie wears a bell flower around her neck) 😭😭😭😭😭this short is PEAK CINEMA BRO
2:29 Doro : I feel like something bad really going to happen to her
Few seconds later...
that's left me speechless..I don't know what to say... That is beyond amazing. That's a masterpiece theater, am I right Doro44?
I was going to pull for her but now even more .I hope this is sign for more amimated shorts for other characters that we will get .Like this is good way to hype up characters
the fact that Clervie used dull blade is such a nice detail from mihoyo to show that she does not want to fight Arlecchino from the start and let herself get killed for Arlecchino's sake, knowing how the previous house of the hearth rules are
Through the process of the elimination the kids kill each others till one remain
We need more, so much more of this - which reminds me, that it has been a hot minute, since the anime by ufotable has been announced.
Defenitly pulling on Arlecchino ehdjsb even more after watching this short animation ! The animation and music were so sick ! She is so badass !! The kick and her fast movements with her flamed sword were absolulty insane !!
THIS IS SO PEAKKK GENSHIN ANIMATION! it makes me so hype for the anime. my jaw was on the floor the entire time, just every little detail is SO purposeful and adds to much to her character
also gotta say.. gives me so much hope for how well the game-combat translates on screen. this?? WAS BEAUTIFUL!
Arle about to break banner sales huh?
I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for a character except for Furina and Neuvillette and now Father. She will come home!
2:09 ….dude the mother is the reason she’s bandaged up
Thank you for the reaction video! Love your videos!
Unsure if you saw but Genshin has already dropped her teaser. Its definitely worth a watch if you havent seen it yet! i cant wait for the demo now! Im excited for arlecchino! Thank you again!
2:30 the timing 😂
She doesn’t want to be like her mother, thus took the name of “father.”
I cried the first time I watched it, and it just convinced me even more that I NEED to pull for her. This whole animation is so intense. When she showed up to fight the previous Knave I just yelled at my screen ,,KILL HER!" because I got so angry at this woman. And this reminded me so much of "The Promised Neverland". Watched both seasons, and I'm not gonna give any spoilers, but it really has similar vibes. And generally, I think the Harbingers have some of the most relatable and harsh backstories so far. I'd theorize that in the end, the Fatui are at least not generally evil. I'd say whether they are the good guys or the bad guys depends on perspective, but that's a topic for another time. Anyway, I'm glad that Arlecchino got to where she is today, because that "Mother" was a piece of garbage. Also, I've read many comments under the original video, saying that the "Mother" appears to be loving and caring, but is a freaking psycho in reality, while Arlecchino seems cold-hearted and strict, but only because she deep down cares about her children and wishes them to grow up into strong and independent individuals. Fascinating contrast.
3:20 the sword with the ornament signifies her blonde friend died as well in the fight.
😢 1:45 the song about the bird in the cage, it about paradise.. huh promised Neverland reference??
expect the price to be paid are Siblings ( all sisters and brothers death except Arlecchino ) .. welp that going dark 🗿 ahh Hoyo
I don’t know but maybe just maybe genshin has a favorite JUST MAYBE
Not complaining she may also be one of my favorites
I STARTRD LAUGHING SO HARD THE WAY ARLECCHINO KICKED HER MOTHER TO CEILING SJAVDKAAVDJSS
I like the contrast in how “Mother”/Crucabena uses what looks like Hydro and then Arlecchino uses Pyro.
She killed a Harbinger as a kid with just her natural powers. Arlecchino is broken af.
THIS IS PEAK CINEMA RIGHT THERE! This animated short feels like a box office movie that can get a crap ton of nominations and even winning awards 👏👏👏
"uh-um-ah.... take my money.." most relatable statement😂😂
Bruh i've been waiting for Arlecchino ever since her design was first revealed in that Harbinger trailer.
Words cannot explain how hyped i am for her to finally be in my roster😩 The lore is just so goddamn good, i feel like im about to cry when i read her lore and how this short just showed us it with the amazing visuals and crazy animation😭 It just made me love Arlecchino a million times more from this short film❤
I’m just looking forward to the frame by frame video breakdown. This is basically an entire lore dump where there is evident foreshadowing and implied exposition.
Goosebumps. Literal goosebumps watching this. Hope everyone gets Arlecchino in their wishes!
Just wow, the team behind this is so talented.
YOU ARE MY SPECIALZ
I was already pulling for Arlecchino. This and her story put her in my top 2 characters with Furina, not sure if she has surpassed her or not yet.
I like how the previous Knave simply got the La Signora treatment
Originally when Fontaine trailer came out I did one of those "who are you going to pull for" charts on the Hoyo app. The only character I marked "yes" was Arlecchino. I knew I wanted to get her. These trailers are not changing my choice, but they're just REALLY good quality HYPE.
