Mavuika and Furina both being a human and waiting 500 years for an uncertain event to happen, which feels like a torture to them, just to ensure that their nation will survive in exchange for their own suffering will never not make me cry.
I think Furina's sacrifice is a lot harder tbh, mainly because of the uncertainty and lack of clarity of her destination and end goal. She only had one directive and that is to keep the act going for as long as possible. Anyone else in her position would have crumbled years ago, but mavuikad has the memory of her sister and soldiers to keep her going and the grand plan.
f@samsaraslight8377 fr furina herself didn't have a plan she was simply winging it and in her perspective, waiting for something to happen on its own 😭
It's honestly harder on furina. While mavuika was basically dead before then resurrected again 500 years later, furina living each day of those 500 years. I'm amazed she didn't go crazy after all that, honestly. My annoyance for her obnoxious first appearance melted instantly at that moment, lol
Damn I didn’t even notice that, I was confused with the scene with Tupac putting her on the throne and suddenly Mavuika is in her bike. So this is how she traveled to the present after sacrificing herself to the sacred flame.
Dude Menilek was such a great dude. Taking a nap before final battle, and strangling to death a monster even after passing out. Surely a brave warrior.
Bro Tupac was such a g. Fighting alongside his brethren until the very end, literally dying standing in place as he finally got Mavuika to the Sacred Flame
@@Raudent be like Sanhaj. He died scorching an entire island so badly that no wind nor plants dared ever touch that place again. Bro lived his life as a mute, but his death screams a big "f*ck you" to the abyss.
5:50 He was dead... dead in the state he was still standing. Mavuika must have felt so much pain and grief when she saw her last surviving friend die in front of her....
In science fiction, the concept of cryo chambers often appears-fall asleep, wake up in the future, and you've successfully traveled through time. Initially, I thought the Pyro Archon also used a similar method to leap 500 years into the future, but this short animation changed my perspective. "Kuafu Chasing the Sun" is an ancient Chinese myth about a giant named Kuafu who endeavored to catch the sun. When reading the story of Kuafu, I imagined a time-travel scenario: from Kuafu's perspective, no matter how many days and nights pass on Earth, as long as he keeps running around the planet and the sun remains in his sight, that "day" never truly ends. In this way, he could spend just "one day" traveling into the future. Watching the Pyro Archon repeatedly pass through the same place in the animation reminded me of that idea. It turns out she wasn’t sleeping through these 500 years-she was constantly chasing. By running in endless loops, she passed the same spot countless times. This also helped me understand the meaning behind the short film's title, Sunset. Teyvat's 500 years of day and night were just a single twilight for the Pyro Archon. By chasing the sun, she compressed those long 500 years into her own "one day," allowing her to reach the future before disaster struck.
Ryte?! This is far more compelling narrative than a simple time traveling story where no time has passed in her mind, and she is suddenly in the future. She had to endure and continually move forward, keeping her sanity and motivation as she drove into the sunset for 500 years. Her not talking or complaining about it so far has been consistent with her character too, as she sacrificed all her beloved possessions in 5.0 to save everyone, not showing her lamentation or sorrow for them, but humbly doing what she knows needs to be done, despite her personal sacrifice 👌🤟.
There is also a book by a revolutionary in history called The Motorcycle Diaries, in which he frequently describes “walking toward the sun,” aligning perfectly with the background and spirit of Mauvika. Perhaps this is why she has a motorcycle. “Victory is ours forever; it is better to die for one’s country than to live without it.” “Let us be realistic and also faithful to our ideals.” “How can I turn away in the face of others' suffering?” “Shoot me! Coward, you’re taking the life of a true man.” “I am willing to die for my ideals, for only in this way can I truly live.” “The sun began to rise on the horizon. After traveling so long in complete darkness, there was finally a faint glimmer of light. The sun holds a magical psychological power-even when it’s not yet visible over the horizon, the mere thought of its warmth provides comfort.” “Leaning on the rail, each of us boarded a plane carrying our dreams, heading toward the distant stratosphere. At that moment, we realized our true calling: to keep advancing along the paths of time, by land and by water. We must preserve our curiosity, observe everything before us, and explore every corner-not to put down roots in any land, not to linger for too long, but to investigate the essence of all things and grasp only the broad strokes. Like us, the sun never stops for any land; it simply and eternally illuminates the road ahead.” - Che Guevara
Better than all the "GOTY" nominees that those true gamers thought should have won the Players Voice. Sonic's creators could never create something like this in a million years (literally).
I love how Mauvika asking "do you think in the future there will be sunsets like this too?" is basically her wondering if she herself will be just as brave and steadfast 500 years later. And since she is compared to a sunset, she will mark the end of an era for Natlan (the Abyss war) rather than a new beginning.

thanks for this "obvious" hidden meaning which i obviously didn't catch 😂 if only i had ability to catch these hidden meanings in people's dialogues...
rip tupac you could've been our [first ever] male hydro claymore 🙏 it's nice to see more moments from the previous ancient name bearers outside of the game quest tho
5:26 somehow, this is the scene that stuck with me. It’s both the most encouraging yet cruelest moment. Tupac and the rest were happy to give up their lives fighting for Natlan and to entrust Mavuika with all their hopes for the future, having full confidence that she could do it. But at the same time, Mavuika must shoulder all of that weight. She doesn’t get to die or give up. She’s forced to trudge on for the next 500 years, hoping that she’s doing the right thing and not letting all the sacrifices be in vain.
its an insane burden to bear. ppl are comparing mavuika and furina saying furina had it worse but imo they were both incredibly fucked over by life. both were only humans, both had to carry a burden no one should, both were entrusted with saving their nation and both spent 500 suffering alone.

This animation shows just how powerful human-based archons are emotionally and how connected they are to their people. We've seen what level of direct connection to the people Furina has compared to the prior archons aside from Nahida. I'm not sure if people noticed but the gear Mavuika wore in the past was for the battle at the time, then she changes to bike gear to prepare for a long ride. That sound of the engine going off as Mavuika speeds to the sunset paired with the incredibly vast terrain gives me the sense of endlessness and the fact the sun felt so far away gave the idea of "never ending". Then she sits down wondering what she was originally riding so long for only to be told by the memory of someone she cared about in the past. When you forget what you want to do or need to do, everything feels longer and never ending until you're reminded of why you are still here and suddenly everything becomes clearer
Archons May be gods but they’re more like greek gods(human with huge powers) there aren’t big différence emotionnally speaking to human. The sole reason we feeling that way for the human archons(furina and mavuika) is simple cause they’re the latest and are better written cause hoyo writer got better with time.
Spoilers for anyone reading the replies: @Pyro8256 they do seemingly represent Greek mythology, however, I can't confirm if its entirely the case with Archons like Venti and Zhongli. I needed to double check if I knew anything, which led me to seeing Venti originally had no proper physical form until after the finale of a tragic event in the past. I don't have Zhongli and unfortunately can't get him at the moment due to the upcoming characters, although I had to use the fandom wiki (unsure if its reliable) and it stated no one knows what he actually is. Nahida is a weird case because she is a bundle of memories from a twig, which I guess is close enough to human. Correct me on this but I think raiden is a spirit at the moment and uses her puppet to act outside of a realm. As for Furina she's a genuine human who had her age extended by someone else, so she is and isn't an archon if that makes sense. Many things keep stating that Mavuika is also human. I wonder what other ways people can view the archons, its my first time hearing anyone say they are like Greek gods
I think you didn't dig deep enough if you think that other Archons are less connected to their people. Venti wants freedom to his people - hence why he doesn't rule or show off as an Archon but people still praise him and he doesn't need to be their god to connect with them Zhongli wants to give humans chance to decide for themselves and retire. Another reason why he wanted that is to be more connected to his people but as a "mortal" cuz people fear or admire Archons too much (even Furina before the main story). Archons can't be on the same wave as humans unless they built it like that from the very beginning (Like Mavuika). Now Zhongli has a chance to connect with his people and not obligated to act as an Archon if he wants to help them Ei, through her misdeeds, did everything to protect her nation and her people. She didn't get a chance to connect with normal people since she was a shadow of Makoto (who was VERY connected to her people) and spend her days training. On the battlefield tho - we could see that she becomes more than just general for people, she becomes their comrade whom they willing to sacrifice their lives to (Just as Mavuika). Quite sad that people overlook the fact that after Ei admitted she was wrong and wanted to change her nation for the better - she fought an unkillable enemy for 500 years just to not let he misdeeds further inflict pain to her people and her nation
5:23 The way he said, "You're our Flame, You have to burn on.. And never.. go out..." This is the reason Mavuika has lived for 500 years while being a human.
Reminder that Menilek is the owner of Holawaqa Ngoubou, yes that giant Qucusaur world boss. It's very impressive that he was able to tame and gain trust from such beast. Too bad that Menilek died here before he can get Holawaqa to a pilgrimage to cleanse its Flamelord's Blessing (some sort of Pyro Dragon Sovereign curse to a Saurians), so Holawaqa become more and more fierce along with time. This is why Manqu told Traveler to bring our little Tepetlisaur to perform a rituals in a volcano, to cleanse the Flamelord's blessing in its body, because if it's left unattended our little Tepetlisaur will become fierce too like Holawaqa Nguobou.
spoilers from Ochkanatlan wq there's another pretty strong reason "Manqu" would've told us to get our saurian to the volcano (even though we don't know what his plan is yet). Iirc it's confirmed that he lied
@@EmergencyCringe He either lied or only has seen cases where the Saurian becomes fierce because there are no good ones. Think about it, the Ququsaur boss and the Fat Yumkasaur Mountain King are the only ones we have seen to be larger than any other saurians, so we can assume that the fat boi has the Blessing as well. One of them is corrupted by the Abyss so much to the point of killing Malipo, his owner, yet he retains his consciousness being good, while the other is largely unknown. So, maybe the Blessing is indeed a blessing, but it requires the owner to take much care of the Saurian and keep it's emotions in check.
@@Alex_Fishman This "Manku" lied to us - simply because he stole the identity and appearance of the real Manku, his real name is the Sage of the Stolen Flame, Waxaklahun Ubah Kan. The same one that taught the ancient Natlans to use phlogiston. Ever since our arrival in Natlan, he has been watching us for some of his personal purposes.
@@Alex_FishmanIm pretty sure a world quest says that he just eats which is why he is larger than other saurians (forgot the specific food), and his life was extended due to the abyss. He could have the blessing, but it hasnt been addressed pretty sure
Genshin Impact developers took ver 5.2 but default Kaveh got updated, default Alhaitham got updated and new Sumeru characters! New voices in Genshin Impact and Renia and Rosalyne, London for December and Christmas, Glaciander, Mavuika and Citlali and Clair for new year and Snezhnaya March version 4.9, 6.0!

Heroes aren't always the ones who win. But they keep fighting, they keep standing back up, they don't give up, and they give people hope. That's what makes them heroes.
Mavuika is the human Archon. What shes been through is seeing countless tragedy and constant war in her country, and having to leave behind her family, her world, and all she knew to go to the future with constant worrying about not letting everyones deaths be in vain. She's sacrificed plenty, all while being a human only, no godly perspective-- just a human who understands the fragility of humanity more than other archons, making her journey and all its sacrifices and memories faded far more painful
you haven't read any of the other archon storys if you are saying this LMAO. Raiden Ei and Zhongli know and has gone through just as much as she has. if not more
@@GhostKankitsu except they were much capable of that and didn't suffer for that since they're not humans. what mavuika and furina faced is easily managable for non-humans like them but absolutely intolerable for most humans.
Full Throttle. You don't have much choice when trouble's riding your back so tight it makes the leather squeak. Sometimes you outsmart it, sometimes you outfight it, and sometimes you just have to outrun it... full throttle.
@@googleslocikThe bike was likely made with ancient dragon technology, or at least a replica of that technology. It must have been built by some craftsman/engineer from Natlan's past era, (probably from the xbalanque era, or perhaps xba himself built the bike), perhaps it is an heirloom that is passed from archon to archon?

Her old outfit OMG...I feel like no one is talking abt that enough. She looked like wonderwoman....I was in awe and I had tears when she was speaking to her sister while she was alive. Once she went to sleep for 500 years she outlived her sister and never got to know her as she grew up....that is SO TRAGIC...I just loved how the whole thing had me immersed and wanting more. I cant wait for the anime!!! Will be pulling BOTH Mavuika and Citlali
I think the userbase just collectively nodded in silence and agreed to wait for the archon variants to be released eventually. There's no way they will get these as skins.
8:52 Hine is really cute. She's playing with her sister's hair, curling or braiding it. Just like before, although now...she's a hallucination in Mavuika's head, or a spirit that appears to cheer her sister up.
@@parkour_cirqueIt is a representation of the 500 years she was in the Sacred Flame. As she drives the scenery shifts and signs show numbers indicating the years that have passed. As she waits to reawaken her mental fortitude wavers.
@@freakingexcitedits just an représentation, or her in an fantastic afterlife, or an hallucination on her head. No in really its just not clear, and everyone ignore this fact only because the animation and soundtrack are awesome.
@@parkour_cirque It isn’t clear if you haven’t played acts 1-4 of the archon quest, but if you have it is pretty clear since they established in the quest she had been in the flame for 500 years following the big battle until she reawakened.
Her driving towards the sunset without end resembles how she has lived for a long time and yet still feels lost in a way, showing how human she is. She is a pretty well written character and she is my favorite archon yet!! She is always courageous for her people!
Mavuika is the flame of Natlan but Hine is the flame for mavuika who brought life to her lost lifeless eyes when mavuika needed it the most through her support and precious meaningful words. Rest in peace Hine an Amazing loving sister
Two sister's bond , strong enough to defy time and overcome hurdles combined . I love how Both Raiden and Mavuika share a deep bond with their sisters and no bs nauseating romance is included .
It's so good to see the past 6 heroes animated. They're all goat and Tupac carrying Mavuika and dying standing, my man 😭 And Menilek got such a personality too, oh I love them all.
4 out of the 6 actually. Burkina died in a battle with the Abyss where Komagato (his saurian partner) got corroded and backstabbed him (Kininch's quest), and Sanjah died in the battle of Mare Javari when he and the leader of the Masters of the Night-Wind opened a giant border to the Night Kingdom taking down with them a bunch of casualties from both sides.
Mavuika's EN VA is the best, and so is Zhongli, Neuvillette, Dainslief and alot of other characters. I hope they solved EN VA issue in version 5.3 so we don't have muted characters anymore.
@@HeadstartGG I can't take it if 5.3 isn't voiced. It needs to be voiced, it will be the best archon quest by far, and we need to hear it. Please, please, please, let it be voiced.
Every stop resembling a year, that's such a great detail, it makes you really believe that she has been trying hard for too long without rest, but even gods need to stop once for a while.
Mavuika is really human, and more down to earth than any other leader. Thats what i really love about her. shes had her own struggles, therefore she makes sure she'll give her people a better future to not experience the same. Who ever wrote her character is such a W. Probably my favorite archon.
Any other leaders as Natlan leaders right? Cause as Archons, Furina did the impossible... my bad, not even as Archon just as a human she believed and she delivered. Pretty epic tbh
@darwinian3 yesss..her too. I love furina and her story so much i was convinced by the archon quest enough to c6 her on her rerun...which i did lol. Furina deserves the world after that
Hi, I can tell that saving up for her. It is going to be the toughest to ever pull her which is why I wanna get back in the Genshin as soon as possible and build up my my gems, then to but man…marvel rivals has me on a chokehold. lol though I’ll download soon after I finish this Fortnite battle pass
@@xion_xz Cause both are humans, doing something extremely selfless out of pure fate and love which is pretty awesome. Not undermining any of them but rather elevating both. 🙂👍🏽
One has ignored all other duties for this animated short I love the whole moment of her driving past the same spot repeatedly before stopping with Hine, it's melancholic and bittersweet, can't wait for 5.3
she is not driving past the same spot she is just driving an endless road in her solitude. You can tell its not the same spots shes driving past because the background is different for all the benches she passes.
If you look closely, some spots show a number representing a year. Like that last stop was 499 when she meets her sisters spirit. You could say her sister reminded her of her reason to continue going.
i love how in genshin it already told that humans are weak compared other humanoid species. like they dont have physical strength and also they dont have much time to live. yet they still showed how a weak species have strong will power. like furina is just human with no power( im sure that without her problems to act she would have made a great archon)yet she stood strongly even after she was about to mentally collapse for sake of saving her nation. mauvika she is also just a human she saw her friends die infront of eyes. and i saw people saying she killed people. natlan never had choice to begin with. they have to fight in order to survive. its nation of war. they either have to fall completely or fight back to hoping to survive and thats what they did.mauvika no matter what is just a human. she might have power to fight gods but in the end she is just same as everyone. natlan is in verge of destruction and the options to save it literally none. even if people sacrificed there life there sacrifice should matter and thats what pushed mauvika forward. we all thought that she died and renicarnated. but what if like in this short she have to travel endlessly for 500 years? she kept on going and in the end she can to time when she is needed the most. giving up on many things. her parents, her sister, her saurians. she left all those . again i dont want to compare furina to mauvika both sacrificed for their nations future. furina sacrifice in the end worked i hope mauvika and all those warriors sacrifice will pull natlan out of hell.
Genshin is a story about humanism. This was well discussed in CN community (in the non toxic batch) since probably like inazuma or when we first met Dain and his three questions
@@dutch2 do you mean capitano. well tbh we still didnt get much about him. yes he is an amazing leader but there still things we are kept in shadows about him. like what is his real goal in natlan and who is his enemy ? again i also dont know if he is human or something. we knew very few details to tell about him
@@RexRedwood idk why khaneriah people hate gods so much but archons did everything to protect their people. each archon sacrificed so much but there sacrifice isnt talked much well because they are gods and rule the nation. the reason we could connect with furina and mavuika because they are humans and we can understand how they might feel in the situation. but gods we see them as all powerful and nothing to worry about. they are symbol of power. but we dont know how much they suffered in protecting the people who worship them. people take granted that as archon they have to do this as they are gods. and i do think this mindset in the reason why furina suffered a lot. she could be a generous ruler but nah people thought thats not how a archon should be. they looked down on her. so in the end furina couldnt do anything and it began the reason for her suffering for 500 years.
What I love about every archon we’ve came across so far in Teyvat is that no matter what, they will do anything in takes to protect and save their own nation, and Mavuika showcases the exact same mindset, got to give respect to her.
thats true, ei fighting herself for 500 years to establish a new eternity, venti waking up whenever necessary, rhukkadevata's sacrifice and nahida overthrowing the sage with the help of the people, furina being on stage, not letting the mask down and zhongli sitting back sipping tea while a sea monster was about to destroy liyue harbor!
Zhongli was absolutely ready to throw hands if needed. He just trusted his people and wanted them to be independent finally. Like a true father. Also he's literally the strongest Archon ever. Do you think he would have struggled even 1% if he wanted? Infact Osial was such a Minor threat, he was confident his people can handle it themselves.
@@firby7341 In Zhongli's defense, bro was the most non-stop working Archon for 5000 years. Bro deserved that retirement. Plus he himself said if Liyue couldn't handle with monster he could just solve it himself 😅
Ah yes. Zhongli has worked actively and fulfilled his duty as the Geo archon for decades, yet one moment he decides to retire he is seen as a lazy tea-sipping archon.
Tbh mavuika is currently my favorite because of how engaged she is with the people of her nation all the others feel somewhat separated from their citizens and kinda uninvolved (not entirely a problem) but I think due to being a moral she’s a lot closer to the other citizens, focilor made a huge sacrifice for 500 years but was distant from her people because of it forcing a huge burden in furina who couldn’t tell ANYONE and had to suffer in silence for 500 years, Raiden was the cause of her people’s suffering and her obsession with her version of eternity allowed her to be easily manipulated and taken advantage of but also left her completely disconnected with her people. Zhongli although trying to give Liyue to his people still isn’t really a part of it and doesn’t fully understand humanity, Nahida’s fear of not being good enough directly lead to the issue in the academia and has kept her from being an active part of her community, distance that’ll take a long time to close, Venti might be the closest to his people acting as one of them but also the least involved with the goings on of his nation which lead to the corruption of devalin, they basically are all held back by their immortality in how they have a hard time understanding humans. These aren’t digs as I genuinely love all of them but her humanity and the whole “in Natlan no one fights alone” thing hits especially hard for me, when we see how others view her and her role in the community she definitely most embodies what I like in an archon and leader and her being human but most embodying that role is super powerful imo
The art style is as juicy as ever! The lore is so interesting too!! When Muvakia and the others were fighting, even if they knew it'd kill them, they were as happy as could be-what a nation of war. Muvakia is strong and passionate, I'm glad we had her as the God. Her and moments with her family, even if their just clips, it has much lore and it may seem lonley, but its rlly wholesome 💝
I never expected a war to be so glorious and noble, when i kept hearing that natlan is a nation of war, all i could think about was destruction and hardened soldiers that became too ruthless, genshin sure knows how to surprise us.
And for teyvat will either become or combined with the quote from the older sister game "Fight for all that is beautiful in the world/may all the beauty be blessed"
This is the point of our journey through Teyvat. This is why the Traveler earns a title in every nation they visit. Eventually the Traveler will call for aid, each nation will answer in kind.
7:18 343 This number does not refer to the number of traffic signs, but it refers to the number of years she had to go through in her life, which she had to go through and encounter throughout her 500 years of life.
@@richardknox4612 yeah but she experiencing those years alone in her archon realm we knew it from this animation short I always assume she just respawn second after she died but it turns out she experience time the same as real world in her archon realm
@@sidl12400 Not really driving, is more like a methaphor. She probably didn't have the bike until the present with Xilonen. I imagine this scene as she reviewing her journey before going to the arena to do that final annoucement. With the memory of her sister bringing her strength. She was shown thoughtful before important moments at the beggining. But if you want to think on it as she living inside the flame it's ok too. I don't think there only one right answer to what that scene represents.
Mavuika's story, especially the motorcycle ride, reminded me of Che Guevara's Motorcycle Diaries. The ride changed Mavuika and made her more determined to protect her people. Some people are saying that the motorcycle doesn't match Genshin's tone. Still, when you think about the fact that one of Natlan's historical archetypes is Latin America, maybe the production team took a page out of Che's story as well.
They have this in the previous archon teaser. The Happy Birthday Nahida and The Furina: Members of the Cast. Actually they have this kind of character teaser in other 5* characters just search the character teaser of Arlechino, Neuvillete and Yelan.
@@RonaldCenitTf you yapping about. Character teasers are for all 5 stars. This type of shorts are reserved for certain characters only Ayaka had one, Arlechino and now Mauvika.
9:43 best moment and also the stop point having a number from 301 to 499 each time she passes it is such a good touch and now it explains why her whole design is as it is to represent her desire to keep moving natlan and its people towards a bright future
Yep. Furina suffered it for 500 years with no way to get out of it. All the while the people didn't let her hide under any circumstances to avoid being out of the public eye. Mavuika had the pleasure of sleeping for 500 years with no consequences.
@@nobody-xh6ii "no consequence" she had to watch her friends die and go into the flames with the knowledge that she'd wake up in a world without her family. it seems she might've risked forgetting the plan in the first place due to erosion as well considering she was questioning why she was driving.
@@missclaire8673for long-term goals people tend to forget why they even started them in the first place. Her aloofness in that moment was very real to me.
Okay Hoyo, you're making me cry again I'm so happy and glad that we got an animated short of Mavuika's story Mavuika and Furina are both my beloved Archons and inspirations, such an amazing, strong women ♡
Phenomenal Animation, astounding VA , i want this more often ! 6:53 on sign u can see number of years that have passed , each time she passes number changes at the end , number is 499 at 9:35
They all were the best squad. Imagine jumping to your certain death with a smile in your face cause you fully trust your friend will carry on for centuries to come?
You know i mostly played in jp va but I have to say Mavuika En va killed it. Like her voice feels like a leader commanding her forces and motivating them in need it has all that quality. In her case I have to say that her EN va is way better then jp one
Loved every moment of this and Mavuika's character. The beautiful symbolism of her endless journey was haunting - much like Furina suffering. Excited for her debut in 5.3 🔥
All these incredible animated shorts make me so darn excited for the anime whenever that gets brought up again. It’s actually gonna be so good I swear.
Dang, soo good...all the pieces fit perfectly like a puzzle... Would be amazing to see a full series of Genshin Impact animated. Would bring us (new and old) closer to Genshin world...
I really love Mavuika, everything from her design to her personality and gameplay, everything is just so perfect about her. I wish good luck to everyone wishing for her 🎁✨️
when Hine say "I am waiting for the "sunset", kind of understand as a metaphor. She was waiting for the "Sun" (Mavuika) "set" (Rest), so she could finally remember her about the mission.
The short starts off with telling us, already 3 of the heroes have been slain But somehow the characters and the viewers don't get the feeling of sadness from it They're having their last peaceful drink for their lives. But there's some hope in that. They will not see the day when the war ends But they're confident in their Archon and Natlanese that they will end the endless war in 500 years They have no doubt that their final battle will built the path for Natlan When Mavuika activates her power as an Archon Her hair burns bright but not in the sense it's dangerous or too bright for the eye. It's just like the setting sun. A flame that burns all evil and leaves us with the peaceful night. Like how the Flame will burn away the Abyss and finally bring peace on the nation. Even as the Archon, even though she made this 500 year long plan.Even she does not know how it'll play out and what the future holds Showing the human side of her. The Human Archon Imagine waking up after the battle, only hearing one of your comrades voice. And that voice telling you who died and how they died. You realise your comrade that carrying you is right on the edge of death but carrying you to the planned spot as a last desperate fight. Telling you to burn on and never go out.Because if Mavuika, the flame of Natlan burns out The nation will soon follow A literal endless road... This endless war... She keeps driving but it never seems to end. Even as an Archon, she seems lost. She's still human just like every Natlanese.She stops driving and rests, because what's the point of going forward. The sun never sets... The bench represents the people of Natlan and the people she fights for. Her sister says she's waiting for the sun to set.But as Mavuika seen, the sun never sets. The peaceful night seems like it'll never come. Showing how a war seems so endless and forever to the people that experienced it. I can't imagine how it must feel like for people who have been in war. Will it end tomorrow? Next month? Next year? Will it ever end?.... But her sister reminds her, the peaceful night WILL arrive after all evil has burned away. Reminding her why she started why she keeps going to begin with The people of Natlan and all the pe9ple who've died up until now have all been waiting for that night. And I love how the short ends with the modern day And all the warriors are gathered in one spot to prepare for the upcoming battle And its in the evening when the sun is setting, Showing us that peaceful night is just around the corner. Absolute Cinema
I REALLY like that this animated short did such a good job at getting me hyped for the Natlan finale WITHOUT spoiling anything important. Such an improvement from Arlecchino's animated short.
Without Hine, Mavuika wouldn't have made it 500 years in the future. She still supported Mavuika until the end of time
You know,Time is the great enemy.
Love your music haha
@@Crybaby-Des Thank you!
I quote you! Thanks for beautiful lines
she did said in the end of act 2 I think when mavuika flashback and meet her sister and mother she said she will find a way to see her again
Mavuika and Furina both being a human and waiting 500 years for an uncertain event to happen, which feels like a torture to them, just to ensure that their nation will survive in exchange for their own suffering will never not make me cry.
Wait omg I didn't make that connection😭😭😭😭 That's beautiful
I think Furina's sacrifice is a lot harder tbh, mainly because of the uncertainty and lack of clarity of her destination and end goal.
She only had one directive and that is to keep the act going for as long as possible. Anyone else in her position would have crumbled years ago, but mavuikad has the memory of her sister and soldiers to keep her going and the grand plan.
f@samsaraslight8377 fr furina herself didn't have a plan she was simply winging it and in her perspective, waiting for something to happen on its own 😭
It's honestly harder on furina. While mavuika was basically dead before then resurrected again 500 years later, furina living each day of those 500 years. I'm amazed she didn't go crazy after all that, honestly. My annoyance for her obnoxious first appearance melted instantly at that moment, lol
Here comes people to compare these. Bruh
9:35 You can catch a glimpse of the sign, and it says "499," with each stop representing a year that she had to travel, alone... 😭
Yes! I want cry!
these details are amazing
Damn I didn’t even notice that, I was confused with the scene with Tupac putting her on the throne and suddenly Mavuika is in her bike. So this is how she traveled to the present after sacrificing herself to the sacred flame.
throughout the stops there were also other signs with numbers!! the details are incredible
Yup I notice a stop representing one year. It was so close that Mavuika almost gives up.
Dude Menilek was such a great dude. Taking a nap before final battle, and strangling to death a monster even after passing out. Surely a brave warrior.
Not after passing out...after BEING DEAD
Bro Tupac was such a g. Fighting alongside his brethren until the very end, literally dying standing in place as he finally got Mavuika to the Sacred Flame

Is dying while standing and not falling over actually possible?
In science fiction, the concept of cryo chambers often appears-fall asleep, wake up in the future, and you've successfully traveled through time. Initially, I thought the Pyro Archon also used a similar method to leap 500 years into the future, but this short animation changed my perspective.
"Kuafu Chasing the Sun" is an ancient Chinese myth about a giant named Kuafu who endeavored to catch the sun. When reading the story of Kuafu, I imagined a time-travel scenario: from Kuafu's perspective, no matter how many days and nights pass on Earth, as long as he keeps running around the planet and the sun remains in his sight, that "day" never truly ends. In this way, he could spend just "one day" traveling into the future.
Watching the Pyro Archon repeatedly pass through the same place in the animation reminded me of that idea. It turns out she wasn’t sleeping through these 500 years-she was constantly chasing. By running in endless loops, she passed the same spot countless times.
This also helped me understand the meaning behind the short film's title, Sunset. Teyvat's 500 years of day and night were just a single twilight for the Pyro Archon. By chasing the sun, she compressed those long 500 years into her own "one day," allowing her to reach the future before disaster struck.
Ryte?! This is far more compelling narrative than a simple time traveling story where no time has passed in her mind, and she is suddenly in the future. She had to endure and continually move forward, keeping her sanity and motivation as she drove into the sunset for 500 years. Her not talking or complaining about it so far has been consistent with her character too, as she sacrificed all her beloved possessions in 5.0 to save everyone, not showing her lamentation or sorrow for them, but humbly doing what she knows needs to be done, despite her personal sacrifice 👌🤟.
This is truly one of the coolest things I've read
this is a great comment thank you
Wow great that must have been an inspiration for Mavuika story
There is also a book by a revolutionary in history called The Motorcycle Diaries, in which he frequently describes “walking toward the sun,” aligning perfectly with the background and spirit of Mauvika. Perhaps this is why she has a motorcycle.
“Victory is ours forever; it is better to die for one’s country than to live without it.”
“Let us be realistic and also faithful to our ideals.”
“How can I turn away in the face of others' suffering?”
“Shoot me! Coward, you’re taking the life of a true man.”
“I am willing to die for my ideals, for only in this way can I truly live.”
“The sun began to rise on the horizon. After traveling so long in complete darkness, there was finally a faint glimmer of light. The sun holds a magical psychological power-even when it’s not yet visible over the horizon, the mere thought of its warmth provides comfort.”
“Leaning on the rail, each of us boarded a plane carrying our dreams, heading toward the distant stratosphere. At that moment, we realized our true calling: to keep advancing along the paths of time, by land and by water. We must preserve our curiosity, observe everything before us, and explore every corner-not to put down roots in any land, not to linger for too long, but to investigate the essence of all things and grasp only the broad strokes. Like us, the sun never stops for any land; it simply and eternally illuminates the road ahead.”

Better than all the "GOTY" nominees that those true gamers thought should have won the Players Voice. Sonic's creators could never create something like this in a million years (literally).
I love how Mauvika asking "do you think in the future there will be sunsets like this too?" is basically her wondering if she herself will be just as brave and steadfast 500 years later. And since she is compared to a sunset, she will mark the end of an era for Natlan (the Abyss war) rather than a new beginning.

@@Everlasting_Peace1 dain who hates gods definitely wouldn't use vision imo
5:26 somehow, this is the scene that stuck with me. It’s both the most encouraging yet cruelest moment. Tupac and the rest were happy to give up their lives fighting for Natlan and to entrust Mavuika with all their hopes for the future, having full confidence that she could do it. But at the same time, Mavuika must shoulder all of that weight. She doesn’t get to die or give up. She’s forced to trudge on for the next 500 years, hoping that she’s doing the right thing and not letting all the sacrifices be in vain.
its an insane burden to bear. ppl are comparing mavuika and furina saying furina had it worse but imo they were both incredibly fucked over by life. both were only humans, both had to carry a burden no one should, both were entrusted with saving their nation and both spent 500 suffering alone.

I hope Mavuika survives in 5.3. We all hope so.
Soon John Leguizano voices Xbalanque in version 5.3!
This animation shows just how powerful human-based archons are emotionally and how connected they are to their people. We've seen what level of direct connection to the people Furina has compared to the prior archons aside from Nahida. I'm not sure if people noticed but the gear Mavuika wore in the past was for the battle at the time, then she changes to bike gear to prepare for a long ride. That sound of the engine going off as Mavuika speeds to the sunset paired with the incredibly vast terrain gives me the sense of endlessness and the fact the sun felt so far away gave the idea of "never ending". Then she sits down wondering what she was originally riding so long for only to be told by the memory of someone she cared about in the past. When you forget what you want to do or need to do, everything feels longer and never ending until you're reminded of why you are still here and suddenly everything becomes clearer
beautifully said 🥲
Archons May be gods but they’re more like greek gods(human with huge powers) there aren’t big différence emotionnally speaking to human.
The sole reason we feeling that way for the human archons(furina and mavuika) is simple cause they’re the latest and are better written cause hoyo writer got better with time.
Spoilers for anyone reading the replies:
@Pyro8256 they do seemingly represent Greek mythology, however, I can't confirm if its entirely the case with Archons like Venti and Zhongli. I needed to double check if I knew anything, which led me to seeing Venti originally had no proper physical form until after the finale of a tragic event in the past. I don't have Zhongli and unfortunately can't get him at the moment due to the upcoming characters, although I had to use the fandom wiki (unsure if its reliable) and it stated no one knows what he actually is. Nahida is a weird case because she is a bundle of memories from a twig, which I guess is close enough to human. Correct me on this but I think raiden is a spirit at the moment and uses her puppet to act outside of a realm. As for Furina she's a genuine human who had her age extended by someone else, so she is and isn't an archon if that makes sense. Many things keep stating that Mavuika is also human.
I wonder what other ways people can view the archons, its my first time hearing anyone say they are like Greek gods
@Pyro8256Except zhongli. He is just built different to handle anything
I think you didn't dig deep enough if you think that other Archons are less connected to their people.
Venti wants freedom to his people - hence why he doesn't rule or show off as an Archon but people still praise him and he doesn't need to be their god to connect with them
Zhongli wants to give humans chance to decide for themselves and retire. Another reason why he wanted that is to be more connected to his people but as a "mortal" cuz people fear or admire Archons too much (even Furina before the main story). Archons can't be on the same wave as humans unless they built it like that from the very beginning (Like Mavuika). Now Zhongli has a chance to connect with his people and not obligated to act as an Archon if he wants to help them
Ei, through her misdeeds, did everything to protect her nation and her people. She didn't get a chance to connect with normal people since she was a shadow of Makoto (who was VERY connected to her people) and spend her days training. On the battlefield tho - we could see that she becomes more than just general for people, she becomes their comrade whom they willing to sacrifice their lives to (Just as Mavuika). Quite sad that people overlook the fact that after Ei admitted she was wrong and wanted to change her nation for the better - she fought an unkillable enemy for 500 years just to not let he misdeeds further inflict pain to her people and her nation
5:23 The way he said, "You're our Flame, You have to burn on.. And never.. go out..."
This is the reason Mavuika has lived for 500 years while being a human.
She did not. She respawned 500 years in the future.
The trip she did was just her traveling "forward" in time from her own perspective
Thats just not true at all... she used the sacred flame to help to move 500 years ahead. She is still a mortal human at the end with a normal lifespan
And she never let you go
She did NOT live for 500 years, she reincarnated 500 years later. That was part of the plan.

Literally wanna see comment like that
OMG FRRR RIP TUPAC
Diddy killed him
Reminder that Menilek is the owner of Holawaqa Ngoubou, yes that giant Qucusaur world boss. It's very impressive that he was able to tame and gain trust from such beast. Too bad that Menilek died here before he can get Holawaqa to a pilgrimage to cleanse its Flamelord's Blessing (some sort of Pyro Dragon Sovereign curse to a Saurians), so Holawaqa become more and more fierce along with time. This is why Manqu told Traveler to bring our little Tepetlisaur to perform a rituals in a volcano, to cleanse the Flamelord's blessing in its body, because if it's left unattended our little Tepetlisaur will become fierce too like Holawaqa Nguobou.
spoilers from Ochkanatlan wq
there's another pretty strong reason "Manqu" would've told us to get our saurian to the volcano (even though we don't know what his plan is yet). Iirc it's confirmed that he lied
@@EmergencyCringe He either lied or only has seen cases where the Saurian becomes fierce because there are no good ones. Think about it, the Ququsaur boss and the Fat Yumkasaur Mountain King are the only ones we have seen to be larger than any other saurians, so we can assume that the fat boi has the Blessing as well. One of them is corrupted by the Abyss so much to the point of killing Malipo, his owner, yet he retains his consciousness being good, while the other is largely unknown. So, maybe the Blessing is indeed a blessing, but it requires the owner to take much care of the Saurian and keep it's emotions in check.
@@Alex_Fishman This "Manku" lied to us - simply because he stole the identity and appearance of the real Manku, his real name is the Sage of the Stolen Flame, Waxaklahun Ubah Kan. The same one that taught the ancient Natlans to use phlogiston. Ever since our arrival in Natlan, he has been watching us for some of his personal purposes.
kachina: saurians aren't pets
@@Alex_FishmanIm pretty sure a world quest says that he just eats which is why he is larger than other saurians (forgot the specific food), and his life was extended due to the abyss. He could have the blessing, but it hasnt been addressed pretty sure

RIGHT?!
Yes
FRRRRRR
I know right?!?!?
FRR
Two sister's bond , strong enough to defy time and overcome hurdles combined . I love how Both Raiden and Mavuika share a deep bond with their sisters and no bs nauseating romance is included .
It's so good to see the past 6 heroes animated. They're all goat and Tupac carrying Mavuika and dying standing, my man 😭 And Menilek got such a personality too, oh I love them all.
Tupac… 😢😭
4 out of the 6 actually. Burkina died in a battle with the Abyss where Komagato (his saurian partner) got corroded and backstabbed him (Kininch's quest), and Sanjah died in the battle of Mare Javari when he and the leader of the Masters of the Night-Wind opened a giant border to the Night Kingdom taking down with them a bunch of casualties from both sides.
Wait talking about the reaper righit
@JeremiahJay-uf4xn rapper? Yes, also KIA.
@@kellyjohana516Sanhaj opened a mini domain to trap abyssal monsters. Although it cost him his life as well.
Her EN VA is so amzing, her voice is so powerful and brave like real leader
Mavuika's EN VA is the best, and so is Zhongli, Neuvillette, Dainslief and alot of other characters. I hope they solved EN VA issue in version 5.3 so we don't have muted characters anymore.
@@HeadstartGG I can't take it if 5.3 isn't voiced. It needs to be voiced, it will be the best archon quest by far, and we need to hear it. Please, please, please, let it be voiced.
Also Furina's EN VA.
Literally!!!
@@HeadstartGGEven Venti’s English VA took the time to have her character sing for real.
Every stop resembling a year, that's such a great detail, it makes you really believe that she has been trying hard for too long without rest, but even gods need to stop once for a while.
She’s human
This gives "No one fights alone!" such a profound meaning.
Mavuika is really human, and more down to earth than any other leader. Thats what i really love about her. shes had her own struggles, therefore she makes sure she'll give her people a better future to not experience the same. Who ever wrote her character is such a W. Probably my favorite archon.
Any other leaders as Natlan leaders right? Cause as Archons, Furina did the impossible... my bad, not even as Archon just as a human she believed and she delivered. Pretty epic tbh
@darwinian3 yesss..her too. I love furina and her story so much i was convinced by the archon quest enough to c6 her on her rerun...which i did lol. Furina deserves the world after that
Hi, I can tell that saving up for her. It is going to be the toughest to ever pull her which is why I wanna get back in the Genshin as soon as possible and build up my my gems, then to but man…marvel rivals has me on a chokehold. lol though I’ll download soon after I finish this Fortnite battle pass
@@darwinian3please stop bringing furina into this 😭 why is everyone comparing efforts?? they both did so much for their nations.
@@xion_xz Cause both are humans, doing something extremely selfless out of pure fate and love which is pretty awesome. Not undermining any of them but rather elevating both. 🙂👍🏽
One has ignored all other duties for this animated short
I love the whole moment of her driving past the same spot repeatedly before stopping with Hine, it's melancholic and bittersweet, can't wait for 5.3
she is not driving past the same spot she is just driving an endless road in her solitude. You can tell its not the same spots shes driving past because the background is different for all the benches she passes.
If you look closely, some spots show a number representing a year. Like that last stop was 499 when she meets her sisters spirit. You could say her sister reminded her of her reason to continue going.
8:28 Mavuikas sister pushing Mavuika on 😭 after all thats happened to her, so good.
As soon as the music at 9:30 hit, the emotions hit like a brick 😭 FOR NATLAN!
FOR NATLAN
Oh my god i literally went to this video to track the sound track title!
@@kheilanthonycunanan9855have you managed to find it ? I'd love to hear a full length version of this track 😢
The music at 9:10 reminds me of Heine💔
Mavuika is the pure example of a great leader
Same goes for Capitano
u 2 are 🤝
Leaders have been through a lot in their lives. What they go through is what makes them leaders.
She literally lead people to their deaths? The abyss we don't even know what or why they are doing what they are doing
A great leader? Not really
a warrior? yes
i love how in genshin it already told that humans are weak compared other humanoid species. like they dont have physical strength and also they dont have much time to live. yet they still showed how a weak species have strong will power. like furina is just human with no power( im sure that without her problems to act she would have made a great archon)yet she stood strongly even after she was about to mentally collapse for sake of saving her nation. mauvika she is also just a human she saw her friends die infront of eyes. and i saw people saying she killed people. natlan never had choice to begin with. they have to fight in order to survive. its nation of war. they either have to fall completely or fight back to hoping to survive and thats what they did.mauvika no matter what is just a human. she might have power to fight gods but in the end she is just same as everyone. natlan is in verge of destruction and the options to save it literally none. even if people sacrificed there life there sacrifice should matter and thats what pushed mauvika forward. we all thought that she died and renicarnated. but what if like in this short she have to travel endlessly for 500 years? she kept on going and in the end she can to time when she is needed the most. giving up on many things. her parents, her sister, her saurians. she left all those . again i dont want to compare furina to mauvika both sacrificed for their nations future. furina sacrifice in the end worked i hope mauvika and all those warriors sacrifice will pull natlan out of hell.
Bro you didnt even mention goatetano he's human too 😔
Genshin is a story about humanism. This was well discussed in CN community (in the non toxic batch) since probably like inazuma or when we first met Dain and his three questions
To be fair, all the Archons have suffered a lot of loss. It seems to go with the title.
@@dutch2 do you mean capitano. well tbh we still didnt get much about him. yes he is an amazing leader but there still things we are kept in shadows about him. like what is his real goal in natlan and who is his enemy ? again i also dont know if he is human or something. we knew very few details to tell about him
@@RexRedwood idk why khaneriah people hate gods so much but archons did everything to protect their people. each archon sacrificed so much but there sacrifice isnt talked much well because they are gods and rule the nation. the reason we could connect with furina and mavuika because they are humans and we can understand how they might feel in the situation. but gods we see them as all powerful and nothing to worry about. they are symbol of power. but we dont know how much they suffered in protecting the people who worship them. people take granted that as archon they have to do this as they are gods. and i do think this mindset in the reason why furina suffered a lot. she could be a generous ruler but nah people thought thats not how a archon should be. they looked down on her. so in the end furina couldnt do anything and it began the reason for her suffering for 500 years.
What I love about every archon we’ve came across so far in Teyvat is that no matter what, they will do anything in takes to protect and save their own nation, and Mavuika showcases the exact same mindset, got to give respect to her.
thats true, ei fighting herself for 500 years to establish a new eternity, venti waking up whenever necessary, rhukkadevata's sacrifice and nahida overthrowing the sage with the help of the people, furina being on stage, not letting the mask down and zhongli sitting back sipping tea while a sea monster was about to destroy liyue harbor!
Zhongli was absolutely ready to throw hands if needed.
He just trusted his people and wanted them to be independent finally. Like a true father.
Also he's literally the strongest Archon ever. Do you think he would have struggled even 1% if he wanted? Infact Osial was such a Minor threat, he was confident his people can handle it themselves.
@@firby7341 In Zhongli's defense, bro was the most non-stop working Archon for 5000 years. Bro deserved that retirement. Plus he himself said if Liyue couldn't handle with monster he could just solve it himself 😅
Ah yes. Zhongli has worked actively and fulfilled his duty as the Geo archon for decades, yet one moment he decides to retire he is seen as a lazy tea-sipping archon.
Tbh mavuika is currently my favorite because of how engaged she is with the people of her nation all the others feel somewhat separated from their citizens and kinda uninvolved (not entirely a problem) but I think due to being a moral she’s a lot closer to the other citizens, focilor made a huge sacrifice for 500 years but was distant from her people because of it forcing a huge burden in furina who couldn’t tell ANYONE and had to suffer in silence for 500 years, Raiden was the cause of her people’s suffering and her obsession with her version of eternity allowed her to be easily manipulated and taken advantage of but also left her completely disconnected with her people. Zhongli although trying to give Liyue to his people still isn’t really a part of it and doesn’t fully understand humanity, Nahida’s fear of not being good enough directly lead to the issue in the academia and has kept her from being an active part of her community, distance that’ll take a long time to close, Venti might be the closest to his people acting as one of them but also the least involved with the goings on of his nation which lead to the corruption of devalin, they basically are all held back by their immortality in how they have a hard time understanding humans. These aren’t digs as I genuinely love all of them but her humanity and the whole “in Natlan no one fights alone” thing hits especially hard for me, when we see how others view her and her role in the community she definitely most embodies what I like in an archon and leader and her being human but most embodying that role is super powerful imo
They might have changed the name "Murata" but she still carries on the legacy of Himeko, being a bright flame to light up the path.
The art style is as juicy as ever! The lore is so interesting too!! When Muvakia and the others were fighting, even if they knew it'd kill them, they were as happy as could be-what a nation of war. Muvakia is strong and passionate, I'm glad we had her as the God. Her and moments with her family, even if their just clips, it has much lore and it may seem lonley, but its rlly wholesome 💝
Soon John Leguizano voices Xbalanque in version 5.3!
I never expected a war to be so glorious and noble, when i kept hearing that natlan is a nation of war, all i could think about was destruction and hardened soldiers that became too ruthless, genshin sure knows how to surprise us.
7:45 - 9:46 Their sister-to-sister dialogue is wonderful and sad at the same time...
One day, those cries of "For Natlan!" will become "For Teyvat!"
Natlan is just the beginning of the wholewide war on Teyvat. Hoyo is preparing to make us awe and cry.
@@takarifan so thats why they put final archon till v7 XD
And for teyvat will either become or combined with the quote from the older sister game
"Fight for all that is beautiful in the world/may all the beauty be blessed"
Freedom for Teyvat
This is the point of our journey through Teyvat. This is why the Traveler earns a title in every nation they visit. Eventually the Traveler will call for aid, each nation will answer in kind.
Mavuika’s old outfit looks so amazing! It should be made a skin option because I like it much better than her current outfit in game
7:12 231 is there
7:16 277
7:17 301
7:18 347
9:09 mavuika's pupils get there light again
9:35 499 in the sign
Help 1.1k likes what is happening 😶
what do these numbers mean?
@@minhyungie They are the 500 years she endured and waited between the past and now. I think the motorcycle part was all in her head
what those numbers?
There is also 66 at 6:53
Didnt she time travel?
I absolutely love Katiana Sarkissian's performance as Mavuika! She's so talented!
Soon John Leguizano voices Xbalanque in version 5.3!
She’s amazing!!!❤❤❤
7:18 343 This number does not refer to the number of traffic signs, but it refers to the number of years she had to go through in her life, which she had to go through and encounter throughout her 500 years of life.
Shes not lived for 500 years. She used the sacred flame to respawn. Go rewatch the scene where Mualani talks to her after returning with Kachina.
@@richardknox4612 yeah but she experiencing those years alone in her archon realm we knew it from this animation short I always assume she just respawn second after she died but it turns out she experience time the same as real world in her archon realm
@@richardknox4612I mean in her mind she was, she was driving for 500 years and almost took a break at year 499
343 industries??????? The companing of HALO?
@@sidl12400 Not really driving, is more like a methaphor. She probably didn't have the bike until the present with Xilonen. I imagine this scene as she reviewing her journey before going to the arena to do that final annoucement. With the memory of her sister bringing her strength. She was shown thoughtful before important moments at the beggining.
But if you want to think on it as she living inside the flame it's ok too. I don't think there only one right answer to what that scene represents.
Mavuika's story, especially the motorcycle ride, reminded me of Che Guevara's Motorcycle Diaries. The ride changed Mavuika and made her more determined to protect her people. Some people are saying that the motorcycle doesn't match Genshin's tone. Still, when you think about the fact that one of Natlan's historical archetypes is Latin America, maybe the production team took a page out of Che's story as well.
2:52 I love how happy she looks with her saurian and her saurian looks so happy and delighted to be with her.
okay they have to do this for every update now I love this perfection .... please Hoyo do this for every update
the rarity is what makes it special. But i would love to see a whole anime on natlan and other nations if this is what they can offer.😁
They have this in the previous archon teaser. The Happy Birthday Nahida and The Furina: Members of the Cast. Actually they have this kind of character teaser in other 5* characters just search the character teaser of Arlechino, Neuvillete and Yelan.
The long term project hope that's coming up soon....
@@RonaldCenitTf you yapping about. Character teasers are for all 5 stars. This type of shorts are reserved for certain characters only
Ayaka had one, Arlechino and now Mauvika.
The thing is that could actually take several months to animate, it's not easy at all.
9:43 best moment and also the stop point having a number from 301 to 499 each time she passes it is such a good touch and now it explains why her whole design is as it is to represent her desire to keep moving natlan and its people towards a bright future
The cake archon
She got the whole bakery there😂😂😂
2:57 her voice is so magical I love it
The animators deserve a raise 🗣️🔥🔥
Human being taking the position of a God is really not easy. Such a Big Responsibility
Yep. Furina suffered it for 500 years with no way to get out of it. All the while the people didn't let her hide under any circumstances to avoid being out of the public eye.
Mavuika had the pleasure of sleeping for 500 years with no consequences.
@@nobody-xh6ii "no consequence" she had to watch her friends die and go into the flames with the knowledge that she'd wake up in a world without her family. it seems she might've risked forgetting the plan in the first place due to erosion as well considering she was questioning why she was driving.
@@missclaire8673mind u she scarified her life and rebirthed
@@missclaire8673for long-term goals people tend to forget why they even started them in the first place. Her aloofness in that moment was very real to me.
@@nobody-xh6iino consequences my foot. Quit comparing Furina and Mavuika. They both did great in their own ways.
The Natlan theme playing at 9:30 hits different
It's called
"Inheritance of an Ancient Name"
It's in the first Natlan album, "Land of Tleyaoyaotl"
Natlan motifs are strong
No one talks about how the Natlan leitmotif isn't the same as the one in the Travail.
@@vodaz9109 Then you're late. by months, even.
we still have Collective of Plenty for that anyways
😭
When genshin animated shorts is literally better than 80% of anime hosted in crunchyroll
Okay Hoyo, you're making me cry again
I'm so happy and glad that we got an animated short of Mavuika's story
Mavuika and Furina are both my beloved Archons and inspirations, such an amazing, strong women ♡
as for me, it didn't make me cry but it made me immerse in all kind of beautiful emotions
*women
@@nerminiskenderli4656thanks for correcting 🖤
Phenomenal Animation, astounding VA , i want this more often !
6:53 on sign u can see number of years that have passed , each time she passes number changes at the end , number is 499 at 9:35
Bruh this 10:44 mins wasn't enough it passed like I watched it for 1 minute 🥲🥲
Furina, Nahida, and Mavuika waiting 500 years because only the help of the main character would make their plans work
Mavuika is so pretty and she’s a great archon! Meeting her in game was honestly refreshing.
That was absolutely amazing!
Also: The Sunset Shimmer is always beautiful
2:42 I love this Mavuika outfit!! 🧡
I’m really hoping that once all the archons are released Hoyo will have alternate outfits for the seven, I’d willing pay for Mavuikas
Special costume, sampe as diluc
Anything beats the biker outfit 😅
I'd buy, because the rest of her design is fire!
Mavuika's voice actress is amazing.
4:21 The Hydro Claymore Everyone Wanted
Agree😭😭
*Hydro traveler in lore:*
Tupac was a true friend. Fought and stayed by her til his end.... rest in peace
They all were the best squad. Imagine jumping to your certain death with a smile in your face cause you fully trust your friend will carry on for centuries to come?
4:44 menilek was also a fierce warrior... Aside from having low alcohol tolerance
I guess citlali learned from him
He was the owner of the bird boss in natlan
@@AscenderGrey66 nice, I didn't know that.
@@teeth_guy I guess she did
People looking for the track that starts playing at 9:11, when Mavuika regains her drive, it's called "Inheritance of an Ancient Name".
thx so much
You know i mostly played in jp va but I have to say Mavuika En va killed it. Like her voice feels like a leader commanding her forces and motivating them in need it has all that quality. In her case I have to say that her EN va is way better then jp one
Mavuika is so beautiful.❤
Same apart
I agree.
Fully in agreement bro
I mean the outfit in this video makes her look so much better then that extremly dumb biker uniform
Yes!! It suits the everything more overall looks better@Accountthatexists
1:32 close enough, welcome back Tupac!
Tupac's back 🗣️🔥🔥
and goodbye again too
Aaaand he's gone
my boy yanqing
I needed this
Inheritance of an ancient name at 9:09 probably my favorite one of my favorite natlan pieces.
We can feel her human emotions through that eng VA, thanks girl u slayed it🔥.
Loved every moment of this and Mavuika's character. The beautiful symbolism of her endless journey was haunting - much like Furina suffering. Excited for her debut in 5.3 🔥
It's so rewarding to those who read ingame lore. I know all those heroes back story. Lore player eating good again.
A Mauvika main was born today ❤
3:20 I love how Mavuikas hair is shaped like a pyro sigil
We need a whole season of this 🥹
I wanted it to be so heartfelt and serious but hearing her sadly go “Tupac?..” made me crack up uncontrollably
IM SORRY SAME 😭
That is an Inca Name
@@AndreinaGermannot for Americans. It’s a rapper’s name.
@zerotodona1495 that has its origins in Inca empire
DAMNIT HOYO, WHY DID MY LADY FURINA DIDNT GET THIS KIND OF ANIMATION?
All these incredible animated shorts make me so darn excited for the anime whenever that gets brought up again. It’s actually gonna be so good I swear.
For anyone wondering what the desert road music is, it's "Hoary Hibernation". It's in the new genshin album Disc 2
MAY THE WAYOB REWARD YOU WITH THE ANCIENT NAME! Thank you ❤
This animated short made me cry like 2-3 times, this did hit hard
yeah, some parts hit hard.
Dang, soo good...all the pieces fit perfectly like a puzzle...
Would be amazing to see a full series of Genshin Impact animated. Would bring us (new and old) closer to Genshin world...
When he carried her and stood there in front of her throne even after his death reminds me of a certain character in Yona of the Dawn.
WHOOO
I really love Mavuika, everything from her design to her personality and gameplay, everything is just so perfect about her. I wish good luck to everyone wishing for her 🎁✨️
I. LOVE. YOU. FOR SAYING THAT, LITERALLY NO ONE ELSE GETS IT 🥲🥲🥲
good luck to you too.
I started in 1.0 and I'm ready for my first and only C6, she's the one.
@@Shangri-LainenGL!! I hope you mabye get a double 😍
GOOD LUCK FOR UR PULLS😍😍 tysm also!!
Her biker and motorcycle motif symbolizes her moving into the future, and her wish to also keep natlan thriving in future days ahead.
are you telling me you build a time machine out of a motocycle?
@ ??? i meant poetically, like symbolization
The motifs in Natlan is past, present and future.
Yes, the bike is a nice symbolic pieces, aside from being cool asf.
@@samsaraslight8377 i love it personally 😭
did she build it? where did she get it
when Hine say "I am waiting for the "sunset", kind of understand as a metaphor. She was waiting for the "Sun" (Mavuika) "set" (Rest), so she could finally remember her about the mission.
I think it’s meant to mean her soul being put to rest
Feed the fire.
Let the last cinders burn.
No matter what routes we choose.
we're definitely going to be escalating the situation.
Sounds like the back story of dark souls and the plot of DS3 lmao
Wanna date? Didn't expect to see Armored Core in here bruh
@@christbenitez8797 Well, Armored Core is Fromsoftware too.
Ooh I know where's that from... buddy.
6:10 i really can't tell that's Nathan or litterally a route in the US
There are routes like that in Chile and Argentina too
LOL
"life is a highway~~~"
@@lotto_70 "I WON'T RIDE ON IT"
They really have done such a magnificent job of highlighting the human side of Mavuika
Optimus Prime and Mavuika Will be great friends.
The short starts off with telling us, already 3 of the heroes have been slain
But somehow the characters and the viewers don't get the feeling of sadness from it
They're having their last peaceful drink for their lives. But there's some hope in that.
They will not see the day when the war ends
But they're confident in their Archon and Natlanese that they will end the endless war in 500 years
They have no doubt that their final battle will built the path for Natlan
When Mavuika activates her power as an Archon
Her hair burns bright but not in the sense it's dangerous or too bright for the eye. It's just like the setting sun. A flame that burns all evil and leaves us with the peaceful night.
Like how the Flame will burn away the Abyss and finally bring peace on the nation.
Even as the Archon, even though she made this 500 year long plan.Even she does not know how it'll play out and what the future holds
Showing the human side of her.
The Human Archon
Imagine waking up after the battle, only hearing one of your comrades voice. And that voice telling you who died and how they died. You realise your comrade that carrying you is right on the edge of death but carrying you to the planned spot as a last desperate fight.
Telling you to burn on and never go out.Because if Mavuika, the flame of Natlan burns out
The nation will soon follow
A literal endless road...
This endless war...
She keeps driving but it never seems to end.
Even as an Archon, she seems lost. She's still human just like every Natlanese.She stops driving and rests, because what's the point of going forward.
The sun never sets...
The bench represents the people of Natlan and the people she fights for. Her sister says she's waiting for the sun to set.But as Mavuika seen, the sun never sets. The peaceful night seems like it'll never come. Showing how a war seems so endless and forever to the people that experienced it.
I can't imagine how it must feel like for people who have been in war. Will it end tomorrow? Next month? Next year? Will it ever end?....
But her sister reminds her, the peaceful night WILL arrive after all evil has burned away. Reminding her why she started why she keeps going to begin with
The people of Natlan and all the pe9ple who've died up until now have all been waiting for that night.
And I love how the short ends with the modern day
And all the warriors are gathered in one spot to prepare for the upcoming battle
And its in the evening when the sun is setting, Showing us that peaceful night is just around the corner.
Absolute Cinema
Bro what's your ring size cause what
10:17 traveller and painon cameo
I REALLY like that this animated short did such a good job at getting me hyped for the Natlan finale WITHOUT spoiling anything important. Such an improvement from Arlecchino's animated short.
Yeah I think Clervie should've been exclusive to the animation and not Arlecchino's SQ too
True, this short may have less impact for some but the Arlecchino one thoroughly killed the impact of her quest in the game.
Dramatic irony is a valid plot device.

Soon John Leguizano voices Xbalanque in version 5.3!
The part where she forgets who her sister is so heart breaking....
Applauds to this trailer for showing a new dimension to Mavuika's character :"
This is a splendid moment, to remember a beautiful journey with Mavuika and all other people that fought against the Abys long ago!
