Does this mean Dainsleif will be the winner in the final battle against the Traveler? Or perhaps he already won that battle. Many times over since the Abyss Sinbling calls him their enemy. This is actually really cool.
I had a feeling I forgot to mention something in the video. You are correct. That might have to do with why only Aether is present at the end of Travail when it starts with both Aether and Lumine.
Jesus loves you ❤️ Nothing can compare to how he loves you. When he hung on that cross, he thought of you. As they tore open his back, he thought of your prayer time with him. As the thorns dug into his head, he thought of you spending time in the word of God. As the spears went into his side, he imagined embracing you in heaven. Please turn to him and repent and receive Salvation before it's too late. The end times described in the Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus was born into this world free of sin, then he died on the cross for our sins and God raised him from the dead on the third day. Jesus is waiting for you with open arms. He wants to be with you but time is running out. Repent now and turn to him while there is still time. His heart longs for you.
I got chills when you talked about Fischl and Paimon being the same person and remembered that Fischl is shortened from fischlein meaning small fish, or exactly what Paimon is called.
I never expected someone to be more convincing than Ashikai and Roozevelt, but DAMN BOI YOU THICC! 😤 I'm glad you brought in the Dark Souls stuff because I had recently noticed it myself when looking up lore videos for that game, and all that stuff from the animated movie was so interesting. You're definitely solving the entire story for Genshin, no doubt. Great job! Also, since you decided to talk about Arlecchino... MAN, if you saw the leaks of her boss design, you're gonna like what's coming with those red eyes. 4.6 is gonna bring the lore!
like legit i listened to the entire thing and felt like i been spoiled for the entire game ending bc theres barely any loopholes or gaps in this theory im usually a skeptical person but my brain already accepted this theory as fact 😭😭
@@tfineedachannelforifimbrowsing Lol, I've watched the video like 3 times already and found some inconsistencies (or at least what seems like them) because he kept going back and forth on some things. But for the most part, I think he nailed it. This man be sneaking into Hoyoverse HQ.
There's definitely some inconsistencies, yeah. The explanation will be detailed and reasonable, but then when it comes to the actual theory, some parts are pulled out of nowhere, or contradict each other. @@Skylight-nn9cl
@@alexprus7953 What parts did you fail to understand? You have to keep in mind that this is not a stand-alone video, the OP said multiple times that it is Part 2 of a previous theory and both build upon one another. I assume what you think was "pulled out of nowhere" is all the stuff he explained in Part I.
I get the feeling you really like presenting evidence as bread crumbs and then stating your claim after like a big reveal hoping the audience connects the dots all at once. It's great and impactful when it works! But it might be used too frequently. I think you could benefit from starting by stating your claim, presenting evidence, then restating/expanding on your claim more often. As a viewer it can be difficult to recall the past 10-15 minutes of evidence that were presented at/after the big reveal before it's time to start listening to the build up of the next claim. Some topics start to feel like "I know these things are related/references to one another but idk why that's significant"
Either this, or having a nice tl;dr at some point, with just the conclusions. It's a theory video over an hour long, where it's hard to find the actual theory. It's nice to have detailed evidence, but it's even nicer to know what we're trying to prove in the first place lol
I very like your videos and thought even if I do not agree with some of them. It is because you are crazy and brave enough to make your own stamps, even if they are crazy, instead of rereading the lore available to everyone in the game or on the wiki. So I propose another totally crazy idea. On my way to work this morning, I remembered a film. It's called The Island. It is about people who are supposedly living in a bunker in a post-apocalyptic world. They are told that the earth has been destroyed and that there is no life on it, that the bunker is the only place where people live. But yet, outside, there is one place where people can live. It is the Island, which is said to be like Paradise. Time after time a lottery is held in the bunker and lucky people are chosen to go to this paradise. However, the characters in the film eventually discover that this is all nonsense, that the world outside the bunker is fine and the people there live full lives, but they are clones bred for organs. If something happens to the owner of the clone, his clone wins a ticket to Paradise and never comes back. Initially there was an attempt to grow human organs artificially, but then scientists found that such organs were inferior. To produce perfect organs, donors have to grow up, live like normal people. Isn't this a familiar story? Just put the word energy instead of organs. Maybe the inhabitants of Teyvat have to think they are living a normal life in order to supply something with max energy at full flow? Why for gods so important to be worshipped? If a group of people broke into a bunker, for example, and wanted to rescue the unfortunate clones, free them from this inhuman treatment and show them that there is normal life outside, wouldn't that be seen as the end of the world by the clones because they believe that there is nothing outside, that the outside is deadly? Couldn't this information be Forbidden knowledge which cant be understanding?
Celestia is probably farming imaginary energy out of the people of Teyvat's dreams, so they have to live regular lives in order to have strivings and aspirations, but they have to watch out for Alogenes who have the potential to shatter this illusion, which is why they get a Vision that binds them to the fate of the world and prevents them from ever escaping. In turn, the imaginary energy is probably being used to maintain the borders of Teyvat, which we know are growing weaker and which Alice and Varka are on an expedition to deal with this problem. I speculate that the Primordial One may have arrived from a world that was destroyed and was tasked with ensuring the survival of humanity, so they conquered a suitable world and reshaped it into one where humanity could prosper; but this makes them paranoid that the disaster will repeat, so they must always be on the lookout for human ambitions and their potential to destroy this haven they created, so that the cycle won't repeat itself (assuming the original disaster was of man's own making). Forbidden Knowledge is incompatible with Teyvat because it was basically "coded" as an error in order to prevent people from shattering the illusion, which is why the Primordial One's power depends on their ability to control Irminsul and people's memories through it.
I've already seen this vid, but I'm watching again after your last video about the sinners and six pygmies. I know you were technically incorrect about Dain since you mentioned it in that video, but damn yeah... practically everything else is literally so compelling that I can't help but think you are exactly correct about the story of Genshin matching The Angel's Egg. Every time I watch other lore videos people make, I keep remembering this video and thinking, "how has no one else seen the Angel's egg parallels"??? I really think everyone who is into Genshin lore should be watching this video because it should be THE MOST important Genshin lore video out there!!
Say, did you ever work Madoka Magica into your theories? I've watched so many of these I can no longer remember. I keep comparing Visions to the magical girls' gems, Homura and the story of Princess Saha, the Witchs' realms to realms of consiousness/ domains, the connections with german literature (Faust), being trapped in a Samsara and cultivating a power that can devour or save the universe... And of course, some of the magical girls' designs are similar to GI characters like Eula and Navia.
Madoka and Evangelion are the main influences to all of Mihoyo's games, they've even collab'ed with both across their various games, so the connection is deliberate. Madoka and Homura's relationship bears some resemblance to Kiana and Mei's, and in Genshin the whole thing with Visions and Celestia being depicted as a Matrix-like prison is likely inspired by the Incubators and how they grant wishes to farm energy out of the emotions of magical girls, which they in turn use to delay the end of the universe due to entropy. The Primordial One is probably doing the same thing, but only to protect the borders of Teyvat and prevent the cycle of humanity's destruction from repeating again, but the Tsaritsa, who is also Shiva (hence the Shivada Jade ascencion mats), is going to restart the cycle by destroying the world and making it anew. There's probably gonna be a twist at the end since the Traveler and Paimon are involved and have the potential ability to reweave fate, so things might not turn out the way either of the Gods believe they will.
I pray that every video you've made, every story you've analyzed and every dot you've connected will become canon. I love your videos, they are honestly on a whole another level. Please, keep making history, you absolutely legend
in cn translation the kingdom of the prince of light is the kingdom of the sun phanes has sun symbolism istaroth has moon symbolism. aether has sun symbolism paimon has moon symbolism
21:31 arlecchino also gets one singular angel wing in her charged atk which allows her to float for 3 secs and her burst animation and splash art has a crimson moon behind her, (the gods revealed this to me in a dream)
absolute banger of a video. can't help but think of this channel whenever i read the word Rubedo in the latest alchemy event. Can't wait for the next documentary
has hoyo ever said anywhere they were inspired by angel's egg? im struggling to see a concrete connection between the two aside from just plot threads. IMO the reason they're so similar is because they take inspo from the same place (biblical mythology and gnostic mythology) BUT i also wouldn't put it past hoyoverse to reference such a classic film. feel free to correct me if wrong
A few things I learned in my Philosophy of Art class I thought might be relevant: - Pre-/Hellenic eras communicated and preserved history or important news through oratory methods; meaning everyone accessed and strengthened their knowledge/memories using the mnemonic technology of song. Maybe that’s why written fairy tales and songs in Genshin have such prominence throughout the story, and could be one of the reasons they’re able to survive changes to Irminsul. - The philosophers Kierkegaard, Sartre and De Beauvoir talk about the essence preceding existence, and existence preceding essence as well as the overarching meaning of humanity. They also introduce the idea of essence existing in the mind before it is given a physical form, so it might also circle back to the Imaginary Will. Especially WRT how Irminsul acts as a gatekeeper of knowledge that detects impurities with Nahida as an extension/representative of its divinity that purifies and corrects. Forbidden knowledge overlaps a lot with the previously mentioned philosophical concepts, as well to “a priori” (necessarily known independent of experience) and “a posteriori” (knowledge obtained after experience/observation); requiring one or the other to extend knowledge beyond justified true belief. As every instance of knowledge can only be accessed via one or the other principles. This is especially relevant because Descenders contain ideologies and knowledge which extend beyond the world of Teyvat, meaning they exist in a limbo that is both a priori and a posteriori. While instances of a priori and a posteriori already exist and naturally occur within Teyvat itself as part of the objective reality - I’m specifically aiming at the issue of forbidden knowledge which does not originate from Teyvat. They are able to possess knowledge independent of experience through previous travels alongside their sibling (not necessarily actively, but are innate to them) and knowledge following experience they gain in Teyvat. In this sense, they are quite literally the synthesis of a priori before Teyvat and a posteriori through Teyvat, which also grants them the ability to purify corruption because their knowledge of this phenomena may have existed before enactment. They may not necessarily talk about their previous experiences precisely because they know the knowledge they possess could drastically alter the balance of the world they travel through or perhaps because Irminsul limits the capacity for perception of knowledge by reducing it to what already exists and is possible within Teyvat, meaning that they cannot technically share their previous knowledge without giving it a medium to exist within. The latter does seem more plausible, given that our imagination can only produce what is reasonably conceivable with can be explored within David Hume’s problem of induction, who identifies that our tendency to project past regularities into the future is not underpinned by reason. Meaning that the way we connect cause and effect is not necessarily logical because it occurs in reasoning from what is observed in order to arrive at an explanation for the unobserved; as we cannot confirm that what happens in the past will necessarily occur in the future. Therefore, what becomes possible is the existence of an entity or Descenders to produce an outcome that transcends the laws of Teyvat and the rule of Heavenly Principles because they contain the Imaginary Will to shape their objective reality as they see fit; to break the cycle of reality that has been imposed by the Heavens in order to produce an endless dream or a plane of existence… but for what goal? The concept of the Heavenly Principles also bears resemblance to the concept introduced in Rene Descartes’ Brain in the Vat example. The proposal is meant to challenge our sense of perception and ability to perceive, which proposes an alternative line of reasoning of our current perceptual experience resulting from the manipulation by a malevolent demiurge, posing as benevolent God produces a reality before heaven or perhaps the true elemental cycle of Teyvat to trap us within this samsara. This is also where the phrase cogito ergo sum or his first principle is derived from, which I believe were popular during the release of Genshin Impact aimed at evaluating the story’s historical and literary premises WRT Gnosticism.
This theory is even more insane now that penaconys story is finished. (It was all a dream, they had to convince people to "dismantle" the dream, etc.) Omg
To expand on the connection of "60 levels of ascendence" from Fly Me to the Moon, at the current moment, our AR is capped at 60. Maybe one day, when we break out of the angel's egg (which I assume would be Teyvat), our AR would also be uncapped?
small theory: what if the sustainer of heavenly principal is or was a seele, she has piercing, golden eyes, skin white as the moon (although it is the case for most of the genshin cast as well), she's a servant of celestia, in other words an angel and from the way she speaks in the opening cutscene, where there is this arrogant and authoritive sound to her voice, we could assume that her temper was probably pretty bad, so what if she's a seele as well
So, from the start to the end of this video, I felt a very strong parallel and intersections between your opinion and mine, that I could agree with but also completely not at the same time (that's genshin lore for you) So I'll write in points here: -Basically to make paimon as the 'pale princess' that dream dreams in this game? I'm very agree with that, and make her as the 'fischl'? I also agree with that. But to compare Dainslef/Paimon 1:1 with Angel's Egg, I kinda careful with that although it could be very well fit (I also consider Angel's Egg to be parallel with genshin) I think, this egg thing is just about taking turns (a literal samsara). And about the 'world' as the PO/Primordial Human (phanes born from egg, traveler is paimon's world) I think of this too but I also careful for the term 'world' itself, bc I think it could be more than that. -I might go straight to the point here but this is why I think Istaroth is nicely put to be the center of genshin lore, the very point in this game is actually Makoto and Ei, like, the most basic thing is this. Agree or not, I think it's the sole truth. Also this include the 'world' itself, and by world (I have my own opinion about outlander thing about multiple worlds) I meant earth, the night mother's land (*most of the part). -I might also abandon Istaroth to be PO's shade completely as I think "PO" is a group project to fight for a new world. "The father is the year" and she's "the mother of 14 billion years" (if PO like chronos, and chronos=aion=year, phanes=zodiac=year, abrax=12 sunchildren=year) And anyone (at least the girls) could be Istaroth. Something about anima-animus also involved in this (I think this is why Ishtar had to add Thoth for her name) -Ok, I confess I have hope for you to elaborate more on kaeya but that's just my expectation. I don't know what you have on mind already and I guess there'd be no more kaeya so just in case: >Before everything, remember the very important thing that's happen in genshin. It's *playing roles.* Everyone always lie about their names, and somehow I think genshin wants to point out that one role is for one person only (?) (I think this is important for Natlan) this is why I don't really take barbeloth's name as the barbelo gnostic aeon (but she could be, yes, role wise) and the way ajax tartaglia is based on a hero name, and there's an npc named shirin, the same name as liloupar's daughter (letter by letter in Chinese) and chlotar alberich as 'eide'. >In terms of kaeya, I'll just put it out there. Look up his name in Japanese and compare his line at the end of his hangout about inept god who turns fathers and sons against each other (this god also sounds like liloupar too, apparently) >And Yoimiya said somewhere in her 1st SQ that "a hero who slain a dragon, become the next dragon".
I still think Dainsleif is talking about Lumine though. Her liking those flowers was already brought up in the Chasm's Archon quest, and a red herring sounds too unlikely.
at around 30:30 you started talking about seelies specifically Nabu Malikata; what is that animation you used? I can't recall seeing that in the game and would like to know what questline it's for or if it was an event i missed and would like to look up a video for it. aside from that, great video! as a Layla main, this video makes me appreciate her even more!
That part about Night mother is Pale Princess, Fischl's mother is Fischl, suddenly I'm thinking what if the Abyss Sibling is actually the Traveler themselves
I can’t see Genshin the same anymore, I am genuinely convinced you have read hoyos mind concerning the story, also I’m sure you already know this but I was finishing the Ordo quests and in “pursuit” when you leave the book of revealing, it literally flies you through the shattered sky with the quest goal being “awaken” I feel like there is so much to find in the book of revealing but my small brain can’t piece everything together, and on that note do you have any clue as to why the fountain from the chasm shows up in there? I think the only explanation I’ve heard is that the fountain is primordial seawater but I feel that that isn’t an adequate answer
I am glad you asked, I saw your comment while working on one of my upcoming videos and this is exactly what I wanted to talk about. You won't like my answer... But if you notice at the start of the Angel's Egg, the Nameless Girl fills glass erns with water from a Fountain in the Abandoned City. I think the fountain of the Chasm directly corresponds to that. As for what exactly the water is... Well, there are several possibilities. We shall see.
This is a cool video, I lowkey enjoyed it. I didn’t get anything though xD These theory videos always feel like a wild mix of loosely connected facts and references to me.
I don't play Honkai Impact but I think the eye at 1:16:14 is a Moon Eye and it is related to Kiana. This heavily supports what you said in this video about the Eye of the Crimson Moon from Perinheri being the Eye of the Night Mother if the Night Mother is a Kiana expy (Paimon or Sustainer or just Kiana in general).
Plain and simple. Dainsleif is not a good guy. I’ll go one step further. Remember Clothar the Khaenri’ahn who was Colibar’s father? He tells the traveler that the Khaenri’ahns were so disappointed that after the Traveler was summoned to Teyvat she(I have Lumine), was not able to become the Abyss princess and save Khaenri’ah. Before the cataclysm and the fall of Khaenri’ah Dainsleif was head of the Khaenri’ahn guard. According to Scaramouche (prior to him becoming Wanderer) he tells Lumine her brother lived with the Jester when he was a royal Madge in Khaenri’ah. How many years prior to 500, your guess is as good as mine. The jester tried to use magics and potions on the Traveler which did not work. After the fall of Khaenri’ah, it became Dainsleif’s mission to utilize Irmisul and his ability to make changes to Teyvat’s history (specifically the Traveler) to make Lumine/Aether the Abyss princess/prince. Because they are caught in a Samsara time goes around and around. Dainsleif has lost his memory accept his mission was Lumine. She has lost her memory, but has flashes of remembrance (the mirror when she sees her brother when she is with Clothar) and has come to distrust and hate Dainsleif. Dainsleif and Lumine/Aether will have the same kind of fight to the finish that Wanderer and Docttore will have in the end.
It might be. However, keep in mind that Rubedo transforms base metals into gold and silver. This implies that the Philosopher's Stone has the presupposition of producing Gold. Additionally, Western Alchemist later on abandoned Citrinitas entirely and lumped it in with Rubedo as a secondary stage where the Magnum Opus became composed of only Nigerdo, Albedo, and Rubedo. Finally, a reminder that Alchemy is not science and is just random crap made up by a bunch of people who had no clue what they were doing.
@@DragonMJE Yep agreed. I just think the way the game switch something (and that wouldn't be just rubedo and citrinitas) is simply related to fate. There's also something about viewing things differently (Melusine, colourblindness) it's definitely related to that. 👍
18:54 - 19:24 Hmm, Unless they explain more about how gacha canonically works in genshin (unreconciled stars) and like, how we have our own safe space to pull 5/4stars into the world (gacha mechanic 🤦) I think stars ≈ meteors so, idk, there are golden/blue stella fortunas too (starsplinter iron, blue meteorite, and they're suspiciously ousia-pneuma colored), zhongli's meteor, seelie summoned meteor, 19:25 Btw, this might be true because he was really involved in wishing meteorite thing (unreconciled stars again) Speaking of meteor... The most alleged cause of one of the biggest dinosaurs extinction 🤔 --- Wait, fate/constellation.... Paimon's vanishing animation and traveler's idle (checking constellation) 🤔 --- ...This implies fatui got their own primogems
wait if I put it that way, then every other characters are..... outlanders which are... allogenes, - wait ok, later thoughts for characters that don't have visions, for they don't have any effect over starsplinter iron (I mean ok, traveler summoning characters and in game lore might've been different thing) but what's up with blue/golden stella fortuna? 🤔
Also the potential of 'fake' constellation (Nuvilet probably). But funnily, I've thought of this to a complete different character (besides archons and traveler) and that character is, Diluc.
Please don't stop making these "long ass movies", you're one of the few GI lore channels that goes the extra mile and it's so indescribably interesting. Thank you for your hard work and can't wait for 4.6.
@@SanjogSaha15 it's too much, with his unnecessary "heh heh heh" like tf. just chill out and breath a lil bit. he always sounds like he's out of breath.
Wait a minute... The way you phrased it as "the three moons were sisters of the night" Sisters of the night... mother? Sisters of darkness? Or perhaps a dark moon? Now it clicks. The moon has 4 phases: Waxing, full, waning, and new. Ancient myth might not even record the new moon as one of the moons - it'd just look like empty darkness, and empty night sky. Finally the theory that the moon sisters are the four shining shades actually makes sense to me. The fourth one is just empty darkness
Jesus loves you ❤️ Nothing can compare to how he loves you. When he hung on that cross, he thought of you. As they tore open his back, he thought of your prayer time with him. As the thorns dug into his head, he thought of you spending time in the word of God. As the spears went into his side, he imagined embracing you in heaven. Please turn to him and repent and receive Salvation before it's too late. The end times described in the Bible are already happening in the world.

The crazy thing is that this video was originally made without Angel's Egg and Perinheri in mind. While talking about Filianore I remembered that Miyazaki said he got the inspiration for that character from an OVA called Angel's Egg. So I decided to check it out... Then I noticed that it had a Giant Eye and I was like "huh, that's very similar to the Crimson Moon". ... Then I saw the Nameless Boy and Girl and I was like "huh, why do they seem so similar to Dain and Paimon..." ... Then the boy and the girl found a Leviathan's carcass, a giant tree, and the boy began talking about Noah's Ark and I was like "KEKWait Sheeeeet, this is Genshin" After that Perinheri came out (patch 4.5) and it mentioned the Crimson Moon which is when everything made sense to me. I got very lucky basically.
53:29 There are actually three characters with this split personality: Layla and "night" Layla - dream Amy and Fishl - daydream Furina and Focalors - self-deception (little oceanid dreamed of becoming a human and she achieved her goal after deceiving everyone and herself) And all three may correlate with what the Pale Princess is doing right now.
Teyvat potentially being a "dream world" finally helped me to understand why Nahida could visit dreams (and read thoughts in the gameplay) and why [redacted] could harvest dreams for the Akasha. When you are dreaming (sleeping) you are not creating a "separate" dream. It's still a part of the original one. Another layer of it. And if this dream is so big that it has different living beings in it that could also dream. And is sustained by lets say a Tree. An avatar of a Tree who has access to information circulating in the original dream surely can gain access to smaller ones.
which is why the term “ark” being the direct translation of Teyvat is interesting. it means that Teyvat is a temporary shelter, and one that is used as an emergency safe haven during the biblical flood. if the flood exists within genshin, and the firmament is protecting Teyvat from the water (being primordial seawater), it would make sense why the All Devouring Narwhal is a narwhal. it’s an ocean. Teyvat is an ark, sailing alone in a flooded ocean.
and it also makes the abyss being depicted as a night sky more interesting. if teyvat is like a boat in an endless ocean, but the abyss is a night sky, then it means the abyss isn’t down… it’s up. notice how the spiral abyss goes up in floors? if we are to look at teyvat as a boat in an ocean, then celestia could be seen as a “control center” of sorts. where the boat captain / mechanic lives. when something goes wrong on the boat, when there’s a leak (forbidden knowledge, abyssal power, etc), you use boards and NAILS to fix it. celestial nails. celestia isn’t trying to wipe out anyone to dares defy them… they’re trying to keep the boat from sinking, and the only way to stop leaks from happening is repairs, which can harm the people living around the leak. (think dragonspine, chasm, desert) we’ve been trained to distrust celestia and to want to rebel, but what if celestia truly wants to protect teyvat, even if their methods are harmful?
Great video. Tenshi no Tamago is an amazing movie, I wish more people see and understand it. I don't think Genshin's story will end like in its many inspiration materials, I bet that they're baiting us with these sources of inspiration only to twist the plot when we least expect it.
I still need time to process everything you just presented, so I'm just gonna comment random thoughts for the algorithm. 1. Have you seen the preview for Acheron's skill? She shatters space like glass and reveals a symbol similar to what Skirk turned the All-Devouring Whale into. 2. Alhaitham's Character Teaser has him saying "It is forbidden to investigate the genesis of language." Given that Wanderer's shenanigans rewrote history books and even a man's thesis, what does that imply about the written language of Teyvat? It seems factual books work more like database entries than physical books. 3. 1:08:15 Holy Project Stigma! (HI3 reference, grinded through the entire main story in the two weeks leading up to part 2)
Excuse me for leaving another comment here, I have watched all of your videos but I cannot, for the life of me, recall if you've ever mentioned or are familiar with Revolutionary Girl Utena. The more I listen to the references and connections you bring up, the more parallels I find between Genshin and Utena. The witch, the princess and the prince, Dios and the Devil, the chick breaking its eggshell, the night sky and its constellations, the secluded dream universe, the revolving timeline, the rings, the duelists as descender candidates, the incest, yes, even the incest and of course, the scene that summoned all Utena fans, the booba sword. While it might merely be correlation, as both shows draw inspiration from the same base material, I can't help but associate the Paimon from your theories with Anthy, Phanes with Akio (some aspects of him at least) and the Traveler might very well be Utena. Anyways, it might just be a silly thought of mine and perhaps you'd find nothing worthwile in that show but I definitely wanted to mention it or at least ask if you're familiar with it.
6:25 "The Traveler!" - "The Sun!" - "Oh, right" Man I was grinning throughout the whole Dark Souls lore explanation, I knew nothing about that game but the connections blew my mind
Bro are you a Michelin Star chef? Because you can fking cook! I'm too dumb to put all of the details from the game into a cohesive lore so I appreciate these so much. I love learning how deep it is and how it correlates to so many other movies/games/myths/books. It's so sick and you do such a good job! Can't wait to see how it all plays out
I always find it curious that the game uses current characters, to represent characters from the past, whether it be their clothing. It is a nice detail, which can give us clues about what happened before.
The whole idea of the world that is dreamt would explain why Neuvillette doesn't remember anything of how he got there and what went on before 500 years ago. Because he is in a slumber like all of us. That would also explain why at the end of the golden slumber quest, Jebrael and Samail are enveloped in darkness, maybe because when they woke up they realised the old world is gone (like what happens in dark souls, in which the first flame gets extinguished and the whole world gets surrounded by darkness) The angel's egg could be the dome that enveloped the world, we know that someone called it an eggshell . Also, Dottore's experiment makes a lot of sense in this way, because he was testing to see just how much willpower it takes to create a descender, so basically, he was trying to see if he could create a collective descender, and he managed to at least create a "collective" God out of the dreams of a city. That means that the Archons have made a though choice of helping create and sustain an illusion maybe out of love for their people which would die otherwise, or be swallowed by darkness and transform in that so called "ascended form" that Jakob turned into. The problem with this is that you can only avoid it for so long, before the eggshell breaks and they all get killed by it, because they haven't been preparing, contrarily to what Jakob and Khaenri'ah had tried to do. Also, it makes sense why the Harbingers are gathering the gnoses, to catalyse the willpower and beliefs of all people in Teyvat and make it so that their faith is condensed into one (rebirthed?) collective descender that could challenge the dream. Hence the rebirth from flames (i presume this whole chapter will be filled with pheonixes all around).
That cooked hard. I feel like waking up form a midday nap 😂👏 When you mentioned the *Legend of the Shattered Halberd* I just remembered something that might or might not be interesting: '' In ancient times when Axis Mundi was unobstructed, there were nine realms, each a world of its own. The realm of humans was known as the Zhongzhou, while the gods reside in Shenxiao. At the end of the last calamity, a war between the gods broke out. The God King fell, setting the nine realms ablaze, obliterating all living things. The realms have now been born anew, life again thrives, but the passageway between the nine realms by Axis Mundi has been sealed off. An all-new graphic novel on the epic journey in search of the God King's Halberd begins!'' People might not remember that one because people are diligent Gnehsin players such as yours who actually value Stamina in the Abyss (I did not lmao, dummy ofc) But I just happened to recently have finished the *Nine Pillars of Peace* : ''Nine stone pillars tower over the barren plains, and they appear to disguise some mystery... Nine stone pillars stand stoic near Cuijue Slope. They seem to hide a certain secret...'' Where the stone tablet reads : "Greed, nostalgia, vision, jealousy, anger, lust, self-aggrandizement, competition, turmoil..." "These nine mortal desires may heal the world, or do it great hurt. Their fire will never diminish, and it will never fade... Thus, we lay down nine pillars to bring peace, to end here the conflicts that plague this world." "If one who comes after will break those pillars and enter, war shall once again consume the world." "O you who read this tablet, claim the treasure that lies within, and bring peace to Liyue." "All the turmoils in the world have their root in human vice..." "Nine pillars we raise here to suppress conflict, that we may never again raise armies against each other..."
Whenever someone asks me why I love Genshin Impact so much and never stopped playing it or calls it and its story "boring" (again), I'll show that someone this video. This is your peak creation, without a doubt. But I have to strongly disagree about Paimon=Kiana part around 58:30 because relying on outside "sources" to backup your point at this moment is pure copium. I don't say is invalid because Destiny 2 did a similar thing once with a certain Twitter account, but there it was official while here... again, it's too much. Also, as expected, some video parts made me loose my mind. My points/questions will surely sound dumb, even if I watched in full focus, but in the end here it comes: -Is Paimon responsible for the current state of Teyvat? -Where did you get that information about Eclipse Dynasty stealing Nibelung's Pearl and thus altering the history and memories? -And who the hell is who in the story at the end, after all these same repeated names previously, with character A being B and proceeding to be C? If you'd made only the first half of this video as separate part, I wouldn't ask those seemingly silly questions but now here's where it leads the people engaged enough. Still 10/10, would make my head spin again.
"Io, Io, Pan! That which lies beneath the great sea!" The purpose of this line in the ritual scripture is to forsake the self and sink into the abyss, and in the abyss, to welcome rebirth as a holy infant. The origin of this is a tragedy of unknown provenance that has been passed down by persons unknown to this day. Said play is called "Ajax," or "Aias." He was the second-strongest warrior in his alliance. The kevin kaslana or the expy of kevin kaslana comes to teyvat and goes to abyss because the descenders can also control the abyss(the one controls the abyss controls everything that chlothar said) and he forsaked himself and welcome rebirth as a holy infant androgynous god with a wings andr horns just like the dragons. the life of genshin impact world the old world comes from the abyss thre primordial sea also comes the abyss the birthgiving waters of the universe and primordiall one used this ritual to become the one who can rival the entire world he was not descender in the begining he was just the outalander. but after the ritual."That is what I seek, the way to become just such a will, one that can protect the world, sustain the world, destroy the world, and create the world." the 4 titles and each title matches with the 4 shades shade of time: protector of the heavenly principles shade of death:destroyer of the heavenly principles shade of life:creator of the heavenly principles shade of space sustainer of the heavenly principles and also the circlet the logos remains the other powers were shared with the shining shades and the logos is the rubedo the crimson moon ritual also looks like the forsake the self in abyss the primordial used the crimson moon ritual and the moon becomes titanic eye in honkai univere there's more giant titaic eyes and one of them makes the herschers phanes did ritual and becomes a god. also the name of the cosmic egg was aether in orphism and the travelers's name is aether but lumine is just a light. i think this is not coincidence. also the hsr trailblazers name is caelus the son of the aether. i think in the end aether wil gain the power of light and darkness(imaginary and quantum or space and time .and he will be the cosmic egg itself for the creation of the new world and in new world he will become the phanes androgynous god with a wings and a horns( i think the andrognoyus thing is the combine of the aether and lumine)
and the cosmic egg was created by the power of the time and space the aether borns with the power of anake and chronos in the end aether will gain the both powe of the darkness and light the time and space and he will be the one with the abyss the be the one with the universe and create the new world the protegenos creator of the world but the primordial one was not creator he's just demiurgos some boooks tells us the past of the future just like the prophecy thing and pale princess book
The amount of reincarnation themed characters in sumeru is a lot So much that we have alignment charts to show which characters aligned with the 3 gods of sumeru
Bro. I loved the Layla part. I had a theory that all characters with vision somehow represent their element's virtue. My theory being that, Cryo being the element of Love, all the Cryo characters are, in a way, torn by something/someone they Love and their base nature. For example, Diona with her blessing and her protectiveness of her dad, Chongyun is the same with him being an exorcist, Kaeya being connected to Khaenri'ah and most likely keeping secrets from his newfound family in Mondstadt. I had a tough time fitting Layla in. If Layla is a stand in for the Pale Princess/Seelie Princess, that now makes much more sense. Also, unrelated but worth pointing out, Zhongli resembles Welt Yang a lot. In HSR, his element is Imaginary, which is also Golden/Amber in color like Geo is. Geo is also the element of constructs. Perhaps, the whole of Teyvat is a domain either created by or maintained in part by Zhongli???
You can also depict the Crimson moon as the eye of Abyss, Abyss has been depicted as a black serpent with red eyes and khaenri'ah is located deep below teyvat and what's more they have always been closest to Abyss they have been making ruin guards golems to fight Abyss for so long that they can be called a civilization of war and inventions And one more thing both twins are not angel like but higher seraphims who are dubbed the highest authority after God's and divine law they carry special powers to fight evil(aether's purifying ability and lumine's abyssal power both mixed are in most myrhos called the power of chaos) so yeah columbina isn't exactly a seraphim but a priest of seraphim while arlecchino can be dubbed the disciple of seraphim Lastly I don't think paimon is actually the one dain is talking about or paimon is the god of moon she is imo the God of fate and cosmos one that guides the sun and when a old sun has collapsed a new one shall born out of the old one and if i use the same logic as you that namecards are any hint then paimon's namecard has 3 stars and we know 3 descender exists while we are the 4th and paimon is most likely the one who guides all sort fo like herscher of finality But what you said is true then i would say just like Princess paimon might be waiting for the primordial one who promised her to make a world where everyone can live together she can eat move around and go on adventures with the one she cherished the most and primordial one would most definitely return but only for paimon not the world but paimon would go with aether as the memories she made with him are for her what she always wanted but what of traveler who will probably lise his only companion and his kin that is a question that would remain a question till we see the end That is it from me it's all just my personal interpretation not something confirmed that's how i see the story and paimon
QUESTION TIME ---> Please, correct me if im wrong -> the Princess/Pale Princess/Nameless Girl/Filianore/Paimon is holding the world/Teyvat hostage, which is inside of her Egg and the Nameless Boy/Dain by shattering that Egg is waking the Princess up from her dream back to reality? And the Princess's father/Gwyn/the Primodial One is the one who put her to sleep? In this case Dain is actually freeing Paimon from her dream and her father, right? pls answer qwq
This video reminded me of Nilou, which was the samsara's host. This could be Paimon, and why she is the one who talks the most in the game, making the MC almost a secondary character. Great theory! 👍🏼
Oh shit here we go again. I love these extremely long videos. All your speculations make so much sense. One question though, who is the the Sinner? Is it Irmin?
I could even say this is too far-fetched, a lot of stretchs has been done... But this is Cai Haoyu we're talking about. This is THE Cai Haoyu. The guy that uses his Evangelion t-shirt for business meetings and that literally made an Evangelion essay required to apply for Mihoyo at GGZ days. He definetly watched Angel's Egg and if he did, he definetly would do all that.
@@FelixRaycher confirming what specifically? The Evangelion t-shirt is well known on Mihoyo community. The essay is more of a hearsay of one guy who tried to apply for Mihoyo back then when the company was just a startup. When he wrote a good Eva essay, Da Wei came to interview him and talk more about the essay than the other things he applied on his resume. It seems that back then they just brought into Mihoyo people who had the same interpretation about Eva that Da Wei and Cai Haoyu had.
I love this kind of theory but there are some questions still left unanswered and that is the 2 stars we have been using since the beginning of the game. How is 1 not from this world, but the other 1 is? Yet despite most of this, the 2 are related since they traveled together but are stopped by the Unknown God
another thing to consider the dragon of the apocalypses the seven head hydra didn't spit fire but boiling water instead, make you think is nibelung the cryo sovereign is neuvillette the dragon of the apocalipse idk if hoyo consider this, but can be interesting if they did
Does this mean Dainsleif will be the winner in the final battle against the Traveler?
Or perhaps he already won that battle. Many times over since the Abyss Sinbling calls him their enemy. This is actually really cool.
I had a feeling I forgot to mention something in the video. You are correct. That might have to do with why only Aether is present at the end of Travail when it starts with both Aether and Lumine.
btw I love how you manage to find a way to mention Zhongli in every single one of your videos lol.
@DragonMJE so lumine is dead?
@@KuLifefinn It's not about "Aether" and "Lumine" individually but rather the outcome of the journey itself.
Jesus loves you ❤️
Nothing can compare to how he loves you. When he hung on that cross, he thought of you. As they tore open his back, he thought of your prayer time with him. As the thorns dug into his head, he thought of you spending time in the word of God. As the spears went into his side, he imagined embracing you in heaven. Please turn to him and repent and receive Salvation before it's too late. The end times described in the Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus was born into this world free of sin, then he died on the cross for our sins and God raised him from the dead on the third day. Jesus is waiting for you with open arms. He wants to be with you but time is running out. Repent now and turn to him while there is still time. His heart longs for you.
I got chills when you talked about Fischl and Paimon being the same person and remembered that Fischl is shortened from fischlein meaning small fish, or exactly what Paimon is called.
Interesting, I didn't know that (even tho players commonly call her fish).
players commonly call her fish? the only fish i know in genshin is kokomi @@DragonMJE
makes sense since we did catch paimon with a fishing pole at the beginning of the game
I never expected someone to be more convincing than Ashikai and Roozevelt, but DAMN BOI YOU THICC! 😤 I'm glad you brought in the Dark Souls stuff because I had recently noticed it myself when looking up lore videos for that game, and all that stuff from the animated movie was so interesting. You're definitely solving the entire story for Genshin, no doubt. Great job!
Also, since you decided to talk about Arlecchino... MAN, if you saw the leaks of her boss design, you're gonna like what's coming with those red eyes. 4.6 is gonna bring the lore!
like legit i listened to the entire thing and felt like i been spoiled for the entire game ending bc theres barely any loopholes or gaps in this theory im usually a skeptical person but my brain already accepted this theory as fact 😭😭
@@tfineedachannelforifimbrowsing Lol, I've watched the video like 3 times already and found some inconsistencies (or at least what seems like them) because he kept going back and forth on some things. But for the most part, I think he nailed it. This man be sneaking into Hoyoverse HQ.
There's definitely some inconsistencies, yeah. The explanation will be detailed and reasonable, but then when it comes to the actual theory, some parts are pulled out of nowhere, or contradict each other. @@Skylight-nn9cl
@@alexprus7953 Yes, exactly.
@@alexprus7953 What parts did you fail to understand?
You have to keep in mind that this is not a stand-alone video, the OP said multiple times that it is Part 2 of a previous theory and both build upon one another. I assume what you think was "pulled out of nowhere" is all the stuff he explained in Part I.
I WATCHED THE ANGEL'S EGG WHEN I WAS A KID HOLY SITIIGIFOFOGOFOF
You blew my mind good sir.
the perinheri book just blew my mind, and the fact it was added without any prior notice in a filler patch not a lot of people would play is wild
This ABSOLUTE MADLAD actually did it, dyammm
I get the feeling you really like presenting evidence as bread crumbs and then stating your claim after like a big reveal hoping the audience connects the dots all at once. It's great and impactful when it works! But it might be used too frequently. I think you could benefit from starting by stating your claim, presenting evidence, then restating/expanding on your claim more often. As a viewer it can be difficult to recall the past 10-15 minutes of evidence that were presented at/after the big reveal before it's time to start listening to the build up of the next claim. Some topics start to feel like "I know these things are related/references to one another but idk why that's significant"
Either this, or having a nice tl;dr at some point, with just the conclusions. It's a theory video over an hour long, where it's hard to find the actual theory. It's nice to have detailed evidence, but it's even nicer to know what we're trying to prove in the first place lol
on god this video is genuinely the best so far my god. genuinely astonishing
I very like your videos and thought even if I do not agree with some of them. It is because you are crazy and brave enough to make your own stamps, even if they are crazy, instead of rereading the lore available to everyone in the game or on the wiki.
So I propose another totally crazy idea.
On my way to work this morning, I remembered a film. It's called The Island.
It is about people who are supposedly living in a bunker in a post-apocalyptic world. They are told that the earth has been destroyed and that there is no life on it, that the bunker is the only place where people live. But yet, outside, there is one place where people can live. It is the Island, which is said to be like Paradise. Time after time a lottery is held in the bunker and lucky people are chosen to go to this paradise.
However, the characters in the film eventually discover that this is all nonsense, that the world outside the bunker is fine and the people there live full lives, but they are clones bred for organs. If something happens to the owner of the clone, his clone wins a ticket to Paradise and never comes back.
Initially there was an attempt to grow human organs artificially, but then scientists found that such organs were inferior. To produce perfect organs, donors have to grow up, live like normal people.
Isn't this a familiar story? Just put the word energy instead of organs. Maybe the inhabitants of Teyvat have to think they are living a normal life in order to supply something with max energy at full flow? Why for gods so important to be worshipped?
If a group of people broke into a bunker, for example, and wanted to rescue the unfortunate clones, free them from this inhuman treatment and show them that there is normal life outside, wouldn't that be seen as the end of the world by the clones because they believe that there is nothing outside, that the outside is deadly?
Couldn't this information be Forbidden knowledge which cant be understanding?
If we're harvesting humans for energy, then might as well reference The Matrix instead.
Celestia is probably farming imaginary energy out of the people of Teyvat's dreams, so they have to live regular lives in order to have strivings and aspirations, but they have to watch out for Alogenes who have the potential to shatter this illusion, which is why they get a Vision that binds them to the fate of the world and prevents them from ever escaping. In turn, the imaginary energy is probably being used to maintain the borders of Teyvat, which we know are growing weaker and which Alice and Varka are on an expedition to deal with this problem.
I speculate that the Primordial One may have arrived from a world that was destroyed and was tasked with ensuring the survival of humanity, so they conquered a suitable world and reshaped it into one where humanity could prosper; but this makes them paranoid that the disaster will repeat, so they must always be on the lookout for human ambitions and their potential to destroy this haven they created, so that the cycle won't repeat itself (assuming the original disaster was of man's own making).
Forbidden Knowledge is incompatible with Teyvat because it was basically "coded" as an error in order to prevent people from shattering the illusion, which is why the Primordial One's power depends on their ability to control Irminsul and people's memories through it.
32:38 Dang. They really just turned that part of the book into an event.
Nahh I wouldve never got that “61” reference with paimon’s birthday because from where I live, that’s January 6th not June 1st😭
Yeah that bit ws a stretch lmao. She's on June 1st because it's Children's day in China, just like Itto.
@@GGABueno but there's 60 adventure ranks in Genshin, so that's another nice coincidence
@@alexprus7953 That's an even bigger stretch come on...
He didn't convinced me with that part, but time will tell. For now in my humble opinion this is coping already.
This video just keeps getting better the longer I watched. You cooked.
I've already seen this vid, but I'm watching again after your last video about the sinners and six pygmies. I know you were technically incorrect about Dain since you mentioned it in that video, but damn yeah... practically everything else is literally so compelling that I can't help but think you are exactly correct about the story of Genshin matching The Angel's Egg. Every time I watch other lore videos people make, I keep remembering this video and thinking, "how has no one else seen the Angel's egg parallels"???
I really think everyone who is into Genshin lore should be watching this video because it should be THE MOST important Genshin lore video out there!!
Say, did you ever work Madoka Magica into your theories? I've watched so many of these I can no longer remember. I keep comparing Visions to the magical girls' gems, Homura and the story of Princess Saha, the Witchs' realms to realms of consiousness/ domains, the connections with german literature (Faust), being trapped in a Samsara and cultivating a power that can devour or save the universe... And of course, some of the magical girls' designs are similar to GI characters like Eula and Navia.
Madoka and Evangelion are the main influences to all of Mihoyo's games, they've even collab'ed with both across their various games, so the connection is deliberate. Madoka and Homura's relationship bears some resemblance to Kiana and Mei's, and in Genshin the whole thing with Visions and Celestia being depicted as a Matrix-like prison is likely inspired by the Incubators and how they grant wishes to farm energy out of the emotions of magical girls, which they in turn use to delay the end of the universe due to entropy.
The Primordial One is probably doing the same thing, but only to protect the borders of Teyvat and prevent the cycle of humanity's destruction from repeating again, but the Tsaritsa, who is also Shiva (hence the Shivada Jade ascencion mats), is going to restart the cycle by destroying the world and making it anew. There's probably gonna be a twist at the end since the Traveler and Paimon are involved and have the potential ability to reweave fate, so things might not turn out the way either of the Gods believe they will.
I pray that every video you've made, every story you've analyzed and every dot you've connected will become canon. I love your videos, they are honestly on a whole another level. Please, keep making history, you absolutely legend
I got goosebumps from the intro of the vid :))
in cn translation the kingdom of the prince of light is the kingdom of the sun phanes has sun symbolism istaroth has moon symbolism. aether has sun symbolism paimon has moon symbolism
21:31 arlecchino also gets one singular angel wing in her charged atk which allows her to float for 3 secs and her burst animation and splash art has a crimson moon behind her, (the gods revealed this to me in a dream)
absolute banger of a video. can't help but think of this channel whenever i read the word Rubedo in the latest alchemy event. Can't wait for the next documentary
has hoyo ever said anywhere they were inspired by angel's egg? im struggling to see a concrete connection between the two aside from just plot threads. IMO the reason they're so similar is because they take inspo from the same place (biblical mythology and gnostic mythology) BUT i also wouldn't put it past hoyoverse to reference such a classic film. feel free to correct me if wrong
Really good connections being made here 👀
So cool to see how many characters and npcs are metaphors for the overall state of thr world
A few things I learned in my Philosophy of Art class I thought might be relevant:
- Pre-/Hellenic eras communicated and preserved history or important news through oratory methods; meaning everyone accessed and strengthened their knowledge/memories using the mnemonic technology of song. Maybe that’s why written fairy tales and songs in Genshin have such prominence throughout the story, and could be one of the reasons they’re able to survive changes to Irminsul.
- The philosophers Kierkegaard, Sartre and De Beauvoir talk about the essence preceding existence, and existence preceding essence as well as the overarching meaning of humanity. They also introduce the idea of essence existing in the mind before it is given a physical form, so it might also circle back to the Imaginary Will. Especially WRT how Irminsul acts as a gatekeeper of knowledge that detects impurities with Nahida as an extension/representative of its divinity that purifies and corrects.
Forbidden knowledge overlaps a lot with the previously mentioned philosophical concepts, as well to “a priori” (necessarily known independent of experience) and “a posteriori” (knowledge obtained after experience/observation); requiring one or the other to extend knowledge beyond justified true belief. As every instance of knowledge can only be accessed via one or the other principles. This is especially relevant because Descenders contain ideologies and knowledge which extend beyond the world of Teyvat, meaning they exist in a limbo that is both a priori and a posteriori. While instances of a priori and a posteriori already exist and naturally occur within Teyvat itself as part of the objective reality - I’m specifically aiming at the issue of forbidden knowledge which does not originate from Teyvat.
They are able to possess knowledge independent of experience through previous travels alongside their sibling (not necessarily actively, but are innate to them) and knowledge following experience they gain in Teyvat. In this sense, they are quite literally the synthesis of a priori before Teyvat and a posteriori through Teyvat, which also grants them the ability to purify corruption because their knowledge of this phenomena may have existed before enactment. They may not necessarily talk about their previous experiences precisely because they know the knowledge they possess could drastically alter the balance of the world they travel through or perhaps because Irminsul limits the capacity for perception of knowledge by reducing it to what already exists and is possible within Teyvat, meaning that they cannot technically share their previous knowledge without giving it a medium to exist within.
The latter does seem more plausible, given that our imagination can only produce what is reasonably conceivable with can be explored within David Hume’s problem of induction, who identifies that our tendency to project past regularities into the future is not underpinned by reason. Meaning that the way we connect cause and effect is not necessarily logical because it occurs in reasoning from what is observed in order to arrive at an explanation for the unobserved; as we cannot confirm that what happens in the past will necessarily occur in the future. Therefore, what becomes possible is the existence of an entity or Descenders to produce an outcome that transcends the laws of Teyvat and the rule of Heavenly Principles because they contain the Imaginary Will to shape their objective reality as they see fit; to break the cycle of reality that has been imposed by the Heavens in order to produce an endless dream or a plane of existence… but for what goal?
The concept of the Heavenly Principles also bears resemblance to the concept introduced in Rene Descartes’ Brain in the Vat example. The proposal is meant to challenge our sense of perception and ability to perceive, which proposes an alternative line of reasoning of our current perceptual experience resulting from the manipulation by a malevolent demiurge, posing as benevolent God produces a reality before heaven or perhaps the true elemental cycle of Teyvat to trap us within this samsara. This is also where the phrase cogito ergo sum or his first principle is derived from, which I believe were popular during the release of Genshin Impact aimed at evaluating the story’s historical and literary premises WRT Gnosticism.
This theory is even more insane now that penaconys story is finished. (It was all a dream, they had to convince people to "dismantle" the dream, etc.) Omg
To expand on the connection of "60 levels of ascendence" from Fly Me to the Moon, at the current moment, our AR is capped at 60. Maybe one day, when we break out of the angel's egg (which I assume would be Teyvat), our AR would also be uncapped?
small theory: what if the sustainer of heavenly principal is or was a seele, she has piercing, golden eyes, skin white as the moon (although it is the case for most of the genshin cast as well), she's a servant of celestia, in other words an angel and from the way she speaks in the opening cutscene, where there is this arrogant and authoritive sound to her voice, we could assume that her temper was probably pretty bad, so what if she's a seele as well
Does the warrior in "Angel's Egg" have a black spot in his hair right where Paimon has her star?
This man is insane and I love it. Subscribed to not miss more of crack Genshin Lore theories
So, from the start to the end of this video, I felt a very strong parallel and intersections between your opinion and mine, that I could agree with but also completely not at the same time (that's genshin lore for you)
So I'll write in points here:
-Basically to make paimon as the 'pale princess' that dream dreams in this game? I'm very agree with that, and make her as the 'fischl'? I also agree with that. But to compare Dainslef/Paimon 1:1 with Angel's Egg, I kinda careful with that although it could be very well fit (I also consider Angel's Egg to be parallel with genshin)
I think, this egg thing is just about taking turns (a literal samsara). And about the 'world' as the PO/Primordial Human (phanes born from egg, traveler is paimon's world) I think of this too but I also careful for the term 'world' itself, bc I think it could be more than that.
-I might go straight to the point here but this is why I think Istaroth is nicely put to be the center of genshin lore, the very point in this game is actually Makoto and Ei, like, the most basic thing is this. Agree or not, I think it's the sole truth. Also this include the 'world' itself, and by world (I have my own opinion about outlander thing about multiple worlds) I meant earth, the night mother's land (*most of the part).
-I might also abandon Istaroth to be PO's shade completely as I think "PO" is a group project to fight for a new world. "The father is the year" and she's "the mother of 14 billion years" (if PO like chronos, and chronos=aion=year, phanes=zodiac=year, abrax=12 sunchildren=year) And anyone (at least the girls) could be Istaroth. Something about anima-animus also involved in this (I think this is why Ishtar had to add Thoth for her name)
-Ok, I confess I have hope for you to elaborate more on kaeya but that's just my expectation. I don't know what you have on mind already and I guess there'd be no more kaeya so just in case:
>Before everything, remember the very important thing that's happen in genshin. It's *playing roles.* Everyone always lie about their names, and somehow I think genshin wants to point out that one role is for one person only (?) (I think this is important for Natlan) this is why I don't really take barbeloth's name as the barbelo gnostic aeon (but she could be, yes, role wise) and the way ajax tartaglia is based on a hero name, and there's an npc named shirin, the same name as liloupar's daughter (letter by letter in Chinese) and chlotar alberich as 'eide'.
>In terms of kaeya, I'll just put it out there. Look up his name in Japanese and compare his line at the end of his hangout about inept god who turns fathers and sons against each other (this god also sounds like liloupar too, apparently)
>And Yoimiya said somewhere in her 1st SQ that "a hero who slain a dragon, become the next dragon".
I still think Dainsleif is talking about Lumine though. Her liking those flowers was already brought up in the Chasm's Archon quest, and a red herring sounds too unlikely.
at around 30:30 you started talking about seelies specifically Nabu Malikata; what is that animation you used? I can't recall seeing that in the game and would like to know what questline it's for or if it was an event i missed and would like to look up a video for it. aside from that, great video! as a Layla main, this video makes me appreciate her even more!
That’s actually from Honkai Impact 3rd. Her name is Griseo.
@@Sylvia-yp2dx omg! i actually recently got back into playing HI3, thank you for letting me know!
That part about Night mother is Pale Princess, Fischl's mother is Fischl, suddenly I'm thinking what if the Abyss Sibling is actually the Traveler themselves
I can’t see Genshin the same anymore, I am genuinely convinced you have read hoyos mind concerning the story,
also I’m sure you already know this but I was finishing the Ordo quests and in “pursuit” when you leave the book of revealing, it literally flies you through the shattered sky with the quest goal being “awaken”
I feel like there is so much to find in the book of revealing but my small brain can’t piece everything together, and on that note do you have any clue as to why the fountain from the chasm shows up in there? I think the only explanation I’ve heard is that the fountain is primordial seawater but I feel that that isn’t an adequate answer
I am glad you asked, I saw your comment while working on one of my upcoming videos and this is exactly what I wanted to talk about.
You won't like my answer... But if you notice at the start of the Angel's Egg, the Nameless Girl fills glass erns with water from a Fountain in the Abandoned City. I think the fountain of the Chasm directly corresponds to that.
As for what exactly the water is... Well, there are several possibilities. We shall see.
Another awesome video ! Am gonna continue half of it later XD.
holy master piece of a video wow 🤩 loved it !
The traveler is following in his sisters footsteps
I would love to see a video from you explaining the honkai universe and how genshin is related to it
This is a cool video, I lowkey enjoyed it. I didn’t get anything though xD These theory videos always feel like a wild mix of loosely connected facts and references to me.
Arlecchino is a child from the orphanage in Khaenri’ah!?? I feel like I've missed so much.
This guy deserves more
I don't play Honkai Impact but I think the eye at 1:16:14 is a Moon Eye and it is related to Kiana. This heavily supports what you said in this video about the Eye of the Crimson Moon from Perinheri being the Eye of the Night Mother if the Night Mother is a Kiana expy (Paimon or Sustainer or just Kiana in general).
I find it so interesting that like 3 theorists have come to the same conclusion about arlecchino in the last week hah
i love this channel somuch
Just a small correction: Luocha didn't spoil the end, but rather tore the page because it contained spoilers
But overall great vid
totally unrelated but what's the ost that plays during the music and samsaras part
Plain and simple. Dainsleif is not a good guy. I’ll go one step further. Remember Clothar the Khaenri’ahn who was Colibar’s father? He tells the traveler that the Khaenri’ahns were so disappointed that after the Traveler was summoned to Teyvat she(I have Lumine), was not able to become the Abyss princess and save Khaenri’ah. Before the cataclysm and the fall of Khaenri’ah Dainsleif was head of the Khaenri’ahn guard. According to Scaramouche (prior to him becoming Wanderer) he tells Lumine her brother lived with the Jester when he was a royal Madge in Khaenri’ah. How many years prior to 500, your guess is as good as mine. The jester tried to use magics and potions on the Traveler which did not work. After the fall of Khaenri’ah, it became Dainsleif’s mission to utilize Irmisul and his ability to make changes to Teyvat’s history (specifically the Traveler) to make Lumine/Aether the Abyss princess/prince. Because they are caught in a Samsara time goes around and around. Dainsleif has lost his memory accept his mission was Lumine. She has lost her memory, but has flashes of remembrance (the mirror when she sees her brother when she is with Clothar) and has come to distrust and hate Dainsleif. Dainsleif and Lumine/Aether will have the same kind of fight to the finish that Wanderer and Docttore will have in the end.
Paimon , will fight the traveler, because the traveler wants to go home and she can’t go with him. So she will lash out in Greif
16:07 - 16:23 wait, (sorry, a lot of notes I've made)
is this related to switching things like rubedo with citrinitas?
It might be. However, keep in mind that Rubedo transforms base metals into gold and silver. This implies that the Philosopher's Stone has the presupposition of producing Gold.
Additionally, Western Alchemist later on abandoned Citrinitas entirely and lumped it in with Rubedo as a secondary stage where the Magnum Opus became composed of only Nigerdo, Albedo, and Rubedo.
Finally, a reminder that Alchemy is not science and is just random crap made up by a bunch of people who had no clue what they were doing.
@@DragonMJE Yep agreed. I just think the way the game switch something (and that wouldn't be just rubedo and citrinitas) is simply related to fate. There's also something about viewing things differently (Melusine, colourblindness) it's definitely related to that. 👍
18:54 - 19:24 Hmm, Unless they explain more about how gacha canonically works in genshin (unreconciled stars) and like, how we have our own safe space to pull 5/4stars into the world (gacha mechanic 🤦)
I think stars ≈ meteors so, idk, there are golden/blue stella fortunas too (starsplinter iron, blue meteorite, and they're suspiciously ousia-pneuma colored), zhongli's meteor, seelie summoned meteor,
19:25 Btw, this might be true because he was really involved in wishing meteorite thing (unreconciled stars again)
Speaking of meteor... The most alleged cause of one of the biggest dinosaurs extinction 🤔
---
Wait, fate/constellation.... Paimon's vanishing animation and traveler's idle (checking constellation) 🤔
---
...This implies fatui got their own primogems
wait
if I put it that way, then every other characters are..... outlanders
which are...
allogenes,
-
wait ok, later thoughts for characters that don't have visions, for they don't have any effect over starsplinter iron (I mean ok, traveler summoning characters and in game lore might've been different thing) but what's up with blue/golden stella fortuna? 🤔
Also the potential of 'fake' constellation (Nuvilet probably). But funnily, I've thought of this to a complete different character (besides archons and traveler) and that character is, Diluc.
Red is also the color of Red flags 😮
I will never see genshin impact the same ❤

@@SanjogSaha15 it's too much, with his unnecessary "heh heh heh" like tf. just chill out and breath a lil bit. he always sounds like he's out of breath.
Wait a minute...
The way you phrased it as "the three moons were sisters of the night"
Sisters of the night... mother?
Sisters of darkness? Or perhaps a dark moon?
Now it clicks. The moon has 4 phases: Waxing, full, waning, and new.
Ancient myth might not even record the new moon as one of the moons - it'd just look like empty darkness, and empty night sky.
Finally the theory that the moon sisters are the four shining shades actually makes sense to me. The fourth one is just empty darkness
Oooohhh.... THAT is interesting. And the New Moon forgetting she was ever a moon at all.
Night mother
Layla also falls asleep on her orb when in party setup. This could also parallel the egg
You know... 6 months ago when you said that you had a lot to say about Layla while running in the desert... I had no clue you meant THIS much.

Jesus loves you ❤️
Nothing can compare to how he loves you. When he hung on that cross, he thought of you. As they tore open his back, he thought of your prayer time with him. As the thorns dug into his head, he thought of you spending time in the word of God. As the spears went into his side, he imagined embracing you in heaven. Please turn to him and repent and receive Salvation before it's too late. The end times described in the Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus was born into this world free of sin, then he died on the cross for our sins and God raised him from the dead on the third day. Jesus is waiting for you with open arms. He wants to be with you but time is running out. Repent now and turn to him while there is still time. His heart longs for you.

This and the dainsleof element video
I imagine the dropping of perinheri was INSANE for you
Yes we need to see him talk about it some more.
The crazy thing is that this video was originally made without Angel's Egg and Perinheri in mind. While talking about Filianore I remembered that Miyazaki said he got the inspiration for that character from an OVA called Angel's Egg. So I decided to check it out... Then I noticed that it had a Giant Eye and I was like "huh, that's very similar to the Crimson Moon".
... Then I saw the Nameless Boy and Girl and I was like "huh, why do they seem so similar to Dain and Paimon..."
... Then the boy and the girl found a Leviathan's carcass, a giant tree, and the boy began talking about Noah's Ark and I was like "KEKWait Sheeeeet, this is Genshin"
After that Perinheri came out (patch 4.5) and it mentioned the Crimson Moon which is when everything made sense to me. I got very lucky basically.
@@DragonMJE Are you gonna make video about it too? i will be happy if u do it, pleaseeee.
@@DragonMJEI would watch a video of you just telling this story! It’s good to see how you come up with such amazing theories ❤
53:29 There are actually three characters with this split personality:
Layla and "night" Layla - dream
Amy and Fishl - daydream
Furina and Focalors - self-deception (little oceanid dreamed of becoming a human and she achieved her goal after deceiving everyone and herself)
And all three may correlate with what the Pale Princess is doing right now.
I wonder if they could somehow represent/reference the 3 moon sisters
Wow. Just Wow. Minsleif is gonna go through the stages of grief with this one knowing that her husbando is actually evil or something!
I don’t think Dainsleif is evil, I think he’s a tragic antihero.
@@AstraLuna-o9i oh well I meant something like that. Just that basically Dain isn’t as oof as he may seem

@@Quiscala Oh god please don’t remind me of my spelling errors XD
Teyvat potentially being a "dream world" finally helped me to understand why Nahida could visit dreams (and read thoughts in the gameplay) and why [redacted] could harvest dreams for the Akasha.
When you are dreaming (sleeping) you are not creating a "separate" dream. It's still a part of the original one. Another layer of it. And if this dream is so big that it has different living beings in it that could also dream. And is sustained by lets say a Tree. An avatar of a Tree who has access to information circulating in the original dream surely can gain access to smaller ones.
Fuck I knew it, Dainsleif was talking about Paimon at the Travail trailer.
yeah, it makes more sense than it being the traveler (lumine) tbh. shippers ain't gonna like this one
They called us a madmen. Who's laughing now, I guess.
The dream must end someday. Teyvat is a paradise merely shielding humanity from the far crueler world beyond the firmament and below.
Yes, Teyvat is just an artificial reality. Preach!
which is why the term “ark” being the direct translation of Teyvat is interesting. it means that Teyvat is a temporary shelter, and one that is used as an emergency safe haven during the biblical flood. if the flood exists within genshin, and the firmament is protecting Teyvat from the water (being primordial seawater), it would make sense why the All Devouring Narwhal is a narwhal. it’s an ocean. Teyvat is an ark, sailing alone in a flooded ocean.
and it also makes the abyss being depicted as a night sky more interesting. if teyvat is like a boat in an endless ocean, but the abyss is a night sky, then it means the abyss isn’t down… it’s up. notice how the spiral abyss goes up in floors?
if we are to look at teyvat as a boat in an ocean, then celestia could be seen as a “control center” of sorts. where the boat captain / mechanic lives. when something goes wrong on the boat, when there’s a leak (forbidden knowledge, abyssal power, etc), you use boards and NAILS to fix it. celestial nails. celestia isn’t trying to wipe out anyone to dares defy them… they’re trying to keep the boat from sinking, and the only way to stop leaks from happening is repairs, which can harm the people living around the leak. (think dragonspine, chasm, desert)
we’ve been trained to distrust celestia and to want to rebel, but what if celestia truly wants to protect teyvat, even if their methods are harmful?
Angel's egg getting referenced was something i was not prepared for.
What a feast
Great video. Tenshi no Tamago is an amazing movie, I wish more people see and understand it.
I don't think Genshin's story will end like in its many inspiration materials, I bet that they're baiting us with these sources of inspiration only to twist the plot when we least expect it.
I hope they pulled Evangelion 3.0+1.0. All of this suffering must end with nothing less than good bye.
I still need time to process everything you just presented, so I'm just gonna comment random thoughts for the algorithm.
1. Have you seen the preview for Acheron's skill? She shatters space like glass and reveals a symbol similar to what Skirk turned the All-Devouring Whale into.
2. Alhaitham's Character Teaser has him saying "It is forbidden to investigate the genesis of language." Given that Wanderer's shenanigans rewrote history books and even a man's thesis, what does that imply about the written language of Teyvat? It seems factual books work more like database entries than physical books.
3. 1:08:15 Holy Project Stigma! (HI3 reference, grinded through the entire main story in the two weeks leading up to part 2)
Me watching this masterpiece of theory
"If this is madness I don't wanna be sane"
... *Eighty* minutes? Oh boy, here we go again. _*grabs popcorn_
Excuse me for leaving another comment here, I have watched all of your videos but I cannot, for the life of me, recall if you've ever mentioned or are familiar with Revolutionary Girl Utena.
The more I listen to the references and connections you bring up, the more parallels I find between Genshin and Utena.
The witch, the princess and the prince, Dios and the Devil, the chick breaking its eggshell, the night sky and its constellations, the secluded dream universe, the revolving timeline, the rings, the duelists as descender candidates, the incest, yes, even the incest and of course, the scene that summoned all Utena fans, the booba sword.
While it might merely be correlation, as both shows draw inspiration from the same base material, I can't help but associate the Paimon from your theories with Anthy, Phanes with Akio (some aspects of him at least) and the Traveler might very well be Utena.
Anyways, it might just be a silly thought of mine and perhaps you'd find nothing worthwile in that show but I definitely wanted to mention it or at least ask if you're familiar with it.
Oh my god! I never even thought of utena being inspo and now I’m going INSANE!

I love how much the quality of your videos have improved, can't wait for u to blow up :)
6:25 "The Traveler!" - "The Sun!" - "Oh, right"
Man I was grinning throughout the whole Dark Souls lore explanation, I knew nothing about that game but the connections blew my mind
There is a lot more than what I just talked about. I removed 40 minutes worth of Dark Souls connections. I will reuse them in another video.
Bro are you a Michelin Star chef? Because you can fking cook! I'm too dumb to put all of the details from the game into a cohesive lore so I appreciate these so much. I love learning how deep it is and how it correlates to so many other movies/games/myths/books. It's so sick and you do such a good job! Can't wait to see how it all plays out
I always find it curious that the game uses current characters, to represent characters from the past, whether it be their clothing. It is a nice detail, which can give us clues about what happened before.
1:05:30 That is so deep you reached the bottom of the abyss 💀💀💀
The whole idea of the world that is dreamt would explain why Neuvillette doesn't remember anything of how he got there and what went on before 500 years ago. Because he is in a slumber like all of us. That would also explain why at the end of the golden slumber quest, Jebrael and Samail are enveloped in darkness, maybe because when they woke up they realised the old world is gone (like what happens in dark souls, in which the first flame gets extinguished and the whole world gets surrounded by darkness)
The angel's egg could be the dome that enveloped the world, we know that someone called it an eggshell .
Also, Dottore's experiment makes a lot of sense in this way, because he was testing to see just how much willpower it takes to create a descender, so basically, he was trying to see if he could create a collective descender, and he managed to at least create a "collective" God out of the dreams of a city.
That means that the Archons have made a though choice of helping create and sustain an illusion maybe out of love for their people which would die otherwise, or be swallowed by darkness and transform in that so called "ascended form" that Jakob turned into. The problem with this is that you can only avoid it for so long, before the eggshell breaks and they all get killed by it, because they haven't been preparing, contrarily to what Jakob and Khaenri'ah had tried to do.
Also, it makes sense why the Harbingers are gathering the gnoses, to catalyse the willpower and beliefs of all people in Teyvat and make it so that their faith is condensed into one (rebirthed?) collective descender that could challenge the dream. Hence the rebirth from flames (i presume this whole chapter will be filled with pheonixes all around).
Ok the Travalers will be Paimons guide in their homworld! it will be so wholsome!!
That cooked hard. I feel like waking up form a midday nap 😂👏
When you mentioned the *Legend of the Shattered Halberd* I just remembered something that might or might not be interesting: '' In ancient times when Axis Mundi was unobstructed, there were nine realms, each a world of its own. The realm of humans was known as the Zhongzhou, while the gods reside in Shenxiao.
At the end of the last calamity, a war between the gods broke out. The God King fell, setting the nine realms ablaze, obliterating all living things. The realms have now been born anew, life again thrives, but the passageway between the nine realms by Axis Mundi has been sealed off.
An all-new graphic novel on the epic journey in search of the God King's Halberd begins!''
People might not remember that one because people are diligent Gnehsin players such as yours who actually value Stamina in the Abyss (I did not lmao, dummy ofc) But I just happened to recently have finished the *Nine Pillars of Peace* : ''Nine stone pillars tower over the barren plains, and they appear to disguise some mystery...
Nine stone pillars stand stoic near Cuijue Slope. They seem to hide a certain secret...''
Where the stone tablet reads :
"Greed, nostalgia, vision, jealousy, anger, lust, self-aggrandizement, competition, turmoil..."
"These nine mortal desires may heal the world, or do it great hurt. Their fire will never diminish, and it will never fade... Thus, we lay down nine pillars to bring peace, to end here the conflicts that plague this world."
"If one who comes after will break those pillars and enter, war shall once again consume the world."
"O you who read this tablet, claim the treasure that lies within, and bring peace to Liyue."
"All the turmoils in the world have their root in human vice..."
"Nine pillars we raise here to suppress conflict, that we may never again raise armies against each other..."
What's this. A long video. A very looooong video.
Time to get the popcorn 😊🍿
Whenever someone asks me why I love Genshin Impact so much and never stopped playing it or calls it and its story "boring"
(again), I'll show that someone this video. This is your peak creation, without a doubt.
But I have to strongly disagree about Paimon=Kiana part around 58:30 because relying on outside "sources" to backup your point at this moment is pure copium. I don't say is invalid because Destiny 2 did a similar thing once with a certain Twitter account, but there it was official while here... again, it's too much.
Also, as expected, some video parts made me loose my mind. My points/questions will surely sound dumb, even if I watched in full focus, but in the end here it comes:
-Is Paimon responsible for the current state of Teyvat?
-Where did you get that information about Eclipse Dynasty stealing Nibelung's Pearl and thus altering the history and memories?
-And who the hell is who in the story at the end, after all these same repeated names previously, with character A being B and proceeding to be C?
If you'd made only the first half of this video as separate part, I wouldn't ask those seemingly silly questions but now here's where it leads the people engaged enough.
Still 10/10, would make my head spin again.
"Io, Io, Pan! That which lies beneath the great sea!"
The purpose of this line in the ritual scripture is to forsake the self and sink into the abyss, and in the abyss, to welcome rebirth as a holy infant.
The origin of this is a tragedy of unknown provenance that has been passed down by persons unknown to this day. Said play is called "Ajax," or "Aias." He was the second-strongest warrior in his alliance.
The kevin kaslana or the expy of kevin kaslana comes to teyvat and goes to abyss because the descenders can also control the abyss(the one controls the abyss controls everything that chlothar said)
and he forsaked himself and welcome rebirth as a holy infant androgynous god with a wings andr horns just like the dragons. the life of genshin impact world the old world comes from the abyss thre primordial sea also comes the abyss the birthgiving waters of the universe and primordiall one used this ritual to become the one who can rival the entire world he was not descender in the begining he was just the outalander. but after the ritual."That is what I seek, the way to become just such a will, one that can protect the world, sustain the world, destroy the world, and create the world." the 4 titles and each title matches with the 4 shades
shade of time: protector of the heavenly principles
shade of death:destroyer of the heavenly principles
shade of life:creator of the heavenly principles
shade of space sustainer of the heavenly principles
and also the circlet the logos remains the other powers were shared with the shining shades and the logos is the rubedo the crimson moon ritual also looks like the forsake the self in abyss the primordial used the crimson moon ritual and the moon becomes titanic eye in honkai univere there's more giant titaic eyes and one of them makes the herschers phanes did ritual and becomes a god. also the name of the cosmic egg was aether in orphism and the travelers's name is aether but lumine is just a light. i think this is not coincidence. also the hsr trailblazers name is caelus the son of the aether. i think in the end aether wil gain the power of light and darkness(imaginary and quantum or space and time .and he will be the cosmic egg itself for the creation of the new world and in new world he will become the phanes androgynous god with a wings and a horns( i think the andrognoyus thing is the combine of the aether and lumine)
and the cosmic egg was created by the power of the time and space the aether borns with the power of anake and chronos in the end aether will gain the both powe of the darkness and light the time and space and he will be the one with the abyss the be the one with the universe and create the new world the protegenos creator of the world but the primordial one was not creator he's just demiurgos some boooks tells us the past of the future just like the prophecy thing and pale princess book
The amount of reincarnation themed characters in sumeru is a lot
So much that we have alignment charts to show which characters aligned with the 3 gods of sumeru
video like this is what made me love this game, thank you for your hardwork!
This theory brought me to tears 😢
Makes me wanna reach the cool parts of Genshin sooner.
Bro. I loved the Layla part. I had a theory that all characters with vision somehow represent their element's virtue. My theory being that, Cryo being the element of Love, all the Cryo characters are, in a way, torn by something/someone they Love and their base nature. For example, Diona with her blessing and her protectiveness of her dad, Chongyun is the same with him being an exorcist, Kaeya being connected to Khaenri'ah and most likely keeping secrets from his newfound family in Mondstadt. I had a tough time fitting Layla in.
If Layla is a stand in for the Pale Princess/Seelie Princess, that now makes much more sense.
Also, unrelated but worth pointing out, Zhongli resembles Welt Yang a lot. In HSR, his element is Imaginary, which is also Golden/Amber in color like Geo is. Geo is also the element of constructs.
Perhaps, the whole of Teyvat is a domain either created by or maintained in part by Zhongli???
You can also depict the Crimson moon as the eye of Abyss, Abyss has been depicted as a black serpent with red eyes and khaenri'ah is located deep below teyvat and what's more they have always been closest to Abyss they have been making ruin guards golems to fight Abyss for so long that they can be called a civilization of war and inventions
And one more thing both twins are not angel like but higher seraphims who are dubbed the highest authority after God's and divine law they carry special powers to fight evil(aether's purifying ability and lumine's abyssal power both mixed are in most myrhos called the power of chaos) so yeah columbina isn't exactly a seraphim but a priest of seraphim while arlecchino can be dubbed the disciple of seraphim
Lastly I don't think paimon is actually the one dain is talking about or paimon is the god of moon she is imo the God of fate and cosmos one that guides the sun and when a old sun has collapsed a new one shall born out of the old one and
if i use the same logic as you that namecards are any hint then paimon's namecard has 3 stars and we know 3 descender exists while we are the 4th and paimon is most likely the one who guides all sort fo like herscher of finality
But what you said is true then i would say just like Princess paimon might be waiting for the primordial one who promised her to make a world where everyone can live together she can eat move around and go on adventures with the one she cherished the most and primordial one would most definitely return but only for paimon not the world but paimon would go with aether as the memories she made with him are for her what she always wanted but what of traveler who will probably lise his only companion and his kin that is a question that would remain a question till we see the end
That is it from me it's all just my personal interpretation not something confirmed that's how i see the story and paimon
This was very interesting. Well done.
Barbarossa could just be Venti (Barbatos)? That dude was sleeping and woke up to a dragon 1:13:30
Genshin is actually Dark Souls and Berserk!? Oh. MY GOD.
Wait again another really big game inspired by Angels Egg though? Where did you get that from if I may ask?
QUESTION TIME ---> Please, correct me if im wrong -> the Princess/Pale Princess/Nameless Girl/Filianore/Paimon is holding the world/Teyvat hostage, which is inside of her Egg and the Nameless Boy/Dain by shattering that Egg is waking the Princess up from her dream back to reality? And the Princess's father/Gwyn/the Primodial One is the one who put her to sleep? In this case Dain is actually freeing Paimon from her dream and her father, right? pls answer qwq
Pretty much my question I already asked in my comment but in worse way because I couldn't and still can't process this video completely. Thank you.
This video reminded me of Nilou, which was the samsara's host. This could be Paimon, and why she is the one who talks the most in the game, making the MC almost a secondary character. Great theory! 👍🏼
Oh shit here we go again. I love these extremely long videos. All your speculations make so much sense. One question though, who is the the Sinner? Is it Irmin?
sinner's most likely deshret
HAVENT FINISHED THE WHOLE VID YET BUT LET HIM COOOOOOOKKKKKK
I could even say this is too far-fetched, a lot of stretchs has been done... But this is Cai Haoyu we're talking about. This is THE Cai Haoyu. The guy that uses his Evangelion t-shirt for business meetings and that literally made an Evangelion essay required to apply for Mihoyo at GGZ days.
He definetly watched Angel's Egg and if he did, he definetly would do all that.
For real? Do you have any sources confirming that?
@@FelixRaycher confirming what specifically? The Evangelion t-shirt is well known on Mihoyo community. The essay is more of a hearsay of one guy who tried to apply for Mihoyo back then when the company was just a startup. When he wrote a good Eva essay, Da Wei came to interview him and talk more about the essay than the other things he applied on his resume.
It seems that back then they just brought into Mihoyo people who had the same interpretation about Eva that Da Wei and Cai Haoyu had.
I’m gonna send this to a friend to convince them to play genshin.
_come with me to assimilate into the lore brain-rot_
I love this kind of theory but there are some questions still left unanswered and that is the 2 stars we have been using since the beginning of the game. How is 1 not from this world, but the other 1 is? Yet despite most of this, the 2 are related since they traveled together but are stopped by the Unknown God
A sidenote : one is that Dainsleif was on a journey with 1 of the star's siblings before they became a prince/princess of the Abyss Order
another thing to consider the dragon of the apocalypses the seven head hydra didn't spit fire but boiling water instead,
make you think is nibelung the cryo sovereign is neuvillette the dragon of the apocalipse idk if hoyo consider this, but can be interesting if they did
Alhaitham being key to undermining the heavenly principles would be fucking hillarious.
Wow! Literally Mindblowing...this is Peak Genshin Theory!!
