- Some believe that growing up is to gradually break free from the shackles.
Fate sets the most brutal rules for us, turning day into night, leaving the future dwelling in but the lingering warmth of dreams.
Thus, our weapons clash, burying the remnants of another setting sun, and welcoming the next rising dawn.
Then, when the cage shatters, once and for all-
May gentle flames envelop the shriveled flowers, with their song echoing in the embers.
VA:
Clervie - Dawn Bennett
Crucabena - Jennifer Sun Bell
Peruere - Erin Yvette
Director of the Fatui, "The Jester" Pierro - Richard Tatum

“Mother” pretended to care about her children but only hurt them, so the Knave decided to be a “strict and unfeeling Father” to hide how much she really cares, so no one can use that against her anymore.
So meaning to say she's more like a Asian Strict Mom?
I mean strict Asian moms secretly loves her children if that's what ya mean?
@@GetABagOfGrass I wouldn’t know about the Asian parent experience personally but yeah I guess. Plus Hoyoverse is an Asian company so they’d probably know that archetype better in order to write a character with it
@@garudanathanael5257"woke feminist" lmao what.
@@garudanathanael5257You don't get the point in the change. What's the polar oposite of a "Caring and doting Mother"? Obviously it's and unfeeling and strict Father, even still being female, she decided to be nothing like the woman that raised her.
@@garudanathanael5257 dude.... it's not that deep. The symbolism is about her being the exact opposite, and father is a great way to implement that.
In fact, depicting fathers as "strict and unfeeling" is actually AGAINST the rules of feminism. Please educate yourself.
hoyo really gave "mother" the dead mom hairstyle huh, 10/10 detail
HAAHA
HELP
I CANT BREATHE, HELP MEEEEE
BROOOO
xDDDD
“Mother” was killed under the roof of the building that architecturally resembles a cobweb, a detail that is related to spiders and how they catch and kill their prey. That is top tier detail on point to Arlecchino’s character.
I'm thinking does this hint it was mother who killed the pet spider？so arlecchinno revenge in the spider style。
@@rewernext thing you know Arlecchino's bitten by a radioactive spider.
@@drysoup3017 you just leaked the next spiderman movie
@@drysoup3017 considering there are countless universes across the spiderverse... this is canon
@@andrihusainsudra clervie dying was a canon event
Scaramouche wearing his coat in the most inefficient way possible because I assume he can't feel the cold anyway lmao
The cold never bothered him anyways😍❄🧊❄
The fact he's even there is really odd
@catpoke9557 Alre has a lot of glitch symbolism so people theorize that the laws of Tyvet don't apply to her the same way so she could still remember Scara
@@marycruzship5652 That's true, that is possible
They ram out of S sized coats for scara so they gave him a M size
Her Majesty is real, She froze a whole Palace for Rosalyn and here she opened the window for Peruere to see the lights in the sky.
Childe does say she is a gentle and kind soul. Makes you wonder how the Fatui came from that
Both of them are not Snezhnayan, which makes it even sweeter that the Tsaritsa did that for them.
who's rosalyn? that's signora right?
@@pccnamusic yes signora's original name was Rosalyn, a Mondstadt born girl who became known as the "Crimson Witch Of Flames"
I whonder why dainsleif said that she has no love for her people, it must mean something
So this is why she's called a "Father" instead of "Mother". 10/10
Sad for Clervie, she was really nice.
And worse? She was apparently Crucabena (sp?) 's biological child
@@deoxys320dude2who’s sp?
@@user-wj8lw1xs5i means spelling, don't know if I wrote it right
Да жаль Клерви! Так грустно что такое получилось😢
@@deoxys320dude2 i mean it was pretty obvious, they have the same hair color and facial features. its just made unclear because of the translation. in the line "does mothers usually argue with their daughter" in Chinese it was explicitly worded as biological mother and daughter.
no one talking bout how Scara is just there standing chill and like, welcome to family, u will hate it here
“Also I already hate you”
this is rare, genshin showing blood to their creation
Blood started been shown from 4.0 (neuvi fight against childe)
@@abdollahelghadoui5701 damn really?
@@abdollahelghadoui5701 blood was shown as early as chapter 1, when you discover the upside down statue. the treasure hunters laying deceased had blood around them iirc
@@CodenameVODID good eye its been a long time since that dain quest
@@CodenameVODID and also i think kujou kamaji againt raiden has blood
If i remembered correctly, in Lyney’s story, he invited “Father” to a birthday party in the orphanage where he shows the kids a magic trick and arlecchino appears. Everyone is so surprised to see her even showing up. And they even eat cakes together.
It shows that she really cares about the kids. Even the kids really respects her.

we cant be certain yet
dont forget about 4.6
@@xiersome. we honestly CAN be certain, if you actually read character stories and voicelines. Especially freminet's, who blatantly feels that she made the house of the hearth a haven for its children, says she taught him and the other children to value their lives, that she doesnt hurt them when they fail like crucabena did, etc.
@@pigeontoes5421 Yet Lyney directly says in 4.6 trailer that Arlecchino will punish them if they couldn’t complete the mission.
I’m really excited to the new version. Really want to know how much we can trust the characters opinions about Arlecchino
@@ethiennefogaca3529 She won't punish them without reason. It like the difference between parents who beats his children because he thinks they deserve it, and a parent who gives hard slap to the child because he did something either very wrong or dangerous. Both hurts and both are "striking a child with force to make them feel pain" but one comes from parent who likes to feel sick pleasure of dominating someone, while the other comes from adult who knows that lives is not always as forgiving as this time and "teach" children, who may yet not understand consequence of theirs action that doing such things brings pain and punishments.
After all little pain is the best teacher. No normal human that got harshly burned by flame would be willing to put the hand into it the second time, but it's not so unusual for child to do so beforehand.
In the CN version, instead of saying “my answer is no”, Arle said “you aren’t worthy.” Which is pretty metal
In the JP version from the japanese subtitle, she said: " あなたにはーー 無理だ。" Meaning, "It's impossible for you."
@@Protocol15 It goes to show that translation and localization are two very, very different and necessary things.
@@crealights4800um.... That's not really a good translationmtranslationmore of "No way it could be you"
@@crealights4800Japanese version does not matter as CN is the original and the only one that matters
@@hinarami4302i agree!! so well spoken :)
Fun fact : The flowers seen in the trailer are lumidouce bells and according to the lore they mean separation and the desire to be reunited.
Reunion with who?
@@SpikeTheWolf idk maybe that arlechinno and her friend ( I forgot her name) are gonna be reunited in death
@@teresablykers866 Clervie
She gonna reunite crucabena and dottore together
Imagine if Lyney grows up and doesn’t like how arlecchino does things and decides to call himself mother
OH- LMAO
The belt of crimson moon awakens
I like how even while imprisoned, she’s given a nice little throne to sit on. Guess killing a harbinger demands a certain level of respect even if they are a criminal
They said double it and take it to the next person 😂
To be fair, who's gonna treat a person who just killed a Harbinger poorly? Lol
Yes... it's a chair with a soft cussion... but have you seen her clothes?
It's a huge cold stone cell with nothing in it but freezing sneznayan air.
Even the guards have some sort of pelt/fur on their shoes.
@@MrFox-xr9cc figured she could probably heat herself up lol, a gust of northern wind is nothing to a person who can blow up an entire building with fire
@@MrFox-xr9cc Maybe at this point she has her Vision there. Or the curse somehow makes her warm lol.
Arlecchino became the opposite of her "mother" who appeared to be a loving and caring mother but instead was cruel and psychotic. Meanwhile Arlecchino appears to be strict and unfeeling but I'm sure she actually cares deep down.
You got the point haha
REAL
I have feeling when traveler fight her in boss form is not as enemies but, more like how House of the Hearth works and some sort of her Trial.. Maybe😅
So she is more like a sheep in wolf clothing xD
@@hendrairawan4964 yeahh you right here
So, she just killed a lvl 90 triple crowned harbinger at that age?! MUST PULL!!!
lol
She's also C6 R5 with 90/250 crit ratio too
She actually admitted in the story that she was no match here, instead relying on an opportunity when her guard was down.
@@Wookster5I think that’s how arlecchino sees it , she’s no match for her since she’s a harbinger triple crown as well , but when rage and vengeance took over her , fck it imma yoko , that’s why she adviced her children “anger makes you (I forgot the word) sorrow makes you waver”
@@shaminafiq5218but she only started winning when she remained calm, mother dominated her when she was angry and aggressive, which is probably why she taught her children to never lose their temper
Y'all assuming Tsaritsa is delicate and kind-hearted because she froze the whole palace for Rosalyn and opened a window for Arlecchino so she could see the aurora, but it's the very same person who tolerates a maniac who experiments on humans and a child abuser...
im very interested in genshin lore and nothing in the game explains her essence better than Shivada Jade Gemstone.
"Sorry... to also have you shoulder the grievances of the world."
"Since you could endure my bitter cold, you must have the desire to burn?"
"Then, burn away the old world for me."
She was a very delicate person and might still be but what i understand from every bit of lore ive read is that she is trying to achieve peace with war. Vengence for love. Since cryo is the element of contraditions it might be something like this but there's so many things we dont know yet
It's probably the same thing as with Arlecchino. Layered. Wanting to do something good but ultimately doing bad things in the process.
wait she was the one who did that???
and he tortured scara and collei too
i meant who did that i meant open the window
That's why she likes cake so much - because her sister loved it. It's probably one of the only ways to relive a warm memory.
Yeah i just remember that she brought a cake when meeting with furina. Damn!
It’s finally completed: ua-cam.com/video/n4rDvjvyiM0/v-deo.htmlsi=NBsBbCBAEsOlQiW_
That's not her sister btw
@salehaqureshi4338 and Freminet and Lyney aren't brothers
@@IbbyMelbourne well they call eo brothers but arle never called the girl her sister. Just because they were in the same orphanage doesn't mean they're siblings. They're more friends than siblings
The fact that Arlecchino, as a child killed a full grown harbinger is just so crazy to me. Makes me wonder how strong she is now😅
I mean we will find out in about 1 week when the update drops ヽ(｡◕o◕｡)ﾉ.
It's impressive but it was probably one of the fodder harbingers. Perhaps the 10:th? or something
Probably, but at the end scene she was like Goku got ultra instinct😅@@ipot-wr9dy
@@ipot-wr9dyno she actually the forth
@@ipot-wr9dynone of the harbingers are fodder though.
She kicks mother into the ceiling, the force of the impact causes the glass sustaining the ceiling to shatter, then she blows her up along with the falling ceiling.
What a creative way to kill someone.
Also, the ceiling resembles a spider web with its glasses broken.
She boothilled her
Rock lee
Mother said you'll never fly the nest. Father said watch me break the "glass ceiling".
A lot of details are hidden from the 7 min short animation, so hoyo decided to explain them with a 3h story quest.
Guards: omg she killed the harbinger
Tsaritsia: we grant you the rank of master young knave
Its not a "we" it "I" jester said "her majesty's decree" so tsaritsa the decides
the tasrita ate that
This isn't outrageous, it's fair!
She killed all the younglings too
Tsaritsa is smart, she avoided a new Darth Vader being born
This explains why childe and scaramouche called her crazy.
Both childe and scara are sentimental about their family and loved ones. And their first inpression of arlecchino would be her reputation which is "This b*tch stabbed her siblings THEN BLEW UP THE ORPHANAGE WITH A HARBINGER INSIDE"
And she did all this as a teen 😱(by the look of her now versus in the fight). I too would avoid her if you told me she killed a Harbinger in head on combat as a teenager
It’s finally completed: ua-cam.com/video/n4rDvjvyiM0/v-deo.htmlsi=NBsBbCBAEsOlQiW_
Scara, is sentimental about family and loved ones? Can’t see how, bud seeks revenge on his own family and killed a bunch of fathers.
@@biwnzixebrxb4786 the 3 betrayals beg to differ
Speaking of which, why is scara appearing here? If this is a flashback of her past, shouldn't she forget he ever existed? Very sus detail to include him here....
Just came back here after finishing arlecchino's Quest and i am now 100% convinced that "The Knave" that scaramouche was talking about was def not about arlecchino bout instead about the Crucabena
After doing her story quest, this animation just hits diff. When Hoyo cooks, they are no less than any 5 michelin star's chef.
She doesn't want to be like her old "Mother", so she becomes a "Father" instead.
Well now we have the answer why she does by father
probably also got some more connections with traditional gender roles and such but I think I’d need an entire formal dissertation to fully explore that and also all of Arle’s in game texts and also full understanding on the HoH history and also-
The homophobic localizers in spanish fucked up big time. They translated her title as "Madre", mother, for some stupid reason and Hoyo never made them change that. Well, now we know she goes by "Padre", father becouse she hates her "mother". It's not a gender politics choice, is a character driven one and they ruined it for us spanish peakers. Thankfully a lot of us know a little bit of english.
@debbie_uppie we'd probably have to wait for her story quest to get a. More in depth explanation
@@luisreynamboarcos2958thats sad, in portuguese we got Pai that is basically father
I just realised that the reason Scaramouche is only partially wearing his coat is because he doesn’t feel cold since he’s a puppet. Like when he’s in Dragonspine, it doesn’t show his breath.
Yh
He da style king
I think in his dialogs he says that coldness in Snezhnaya is pretty big even he feels it a little and he likes it
Oooh! I didn't catch that!
The cold never bothered me anyway~
crucabena really broke clervie until death was the only option she saw for a chance of freedom im crying
Especially the part in this video where you can see Clervie's bandages and bruises
"When we're grown up... shall we go see it together?"
I knew something bad was going to happen to that girl since she said that line xd
@@tinachan6191 yeah it happened so quickly my heart wasn't prepared 😢
Scaramouche’s outfit is so funny- they just stuck an oversized coat on his head XD
He looks so sillyI love him
Another scara bot in character ai
They had to stick to the theme of big hats on that tiny angry goblin
always gotta have some type of hat
He does not give a damn, he can't even feel the cold, so he doesn't bother to put it in proper.
She killed the Harbinger before her so hard she literally opened up the position for hire.
Yeah, and she was the previous rank 4. And used Hydro.
Part 2: Update
ua-cam.com/video/FhBaY5zUStc/v-deo.html
Tsaritsa and Pierro was like : "you go girl, now be the new harbinger with your awesomeness"
@@braddl9442 She used Cryo actually.
literally the same as "she mothered so hard she gets called father"
Who’s here after doing Arleccino’s story quest 🙋♂️
I came here after finishing her story quest, and it still hits so different
I also held off watching this until after I finished. Absolutely incredible 🙌🏼
Her dead pet spider really adds to the spider resemblance in her boss form
Part 2: Update
ua-cam.com/video/FhBaY5zUStc/v-deo.html
Yeah it looks so menacing and beautiful
That's right! 😮
her story reminds me of wednesday,but in her case it was dead scorpion
and the child 6:36 looks like Aventurine
01:37 The line "Do mothers usually argue with their daughters?" in CN version meant Clervie is Crucabena's (The previous Knave) biological daughter. And the fact that Crucabena said the line at 03:11 about pruning the Lumidouce Bell, Clervie's flower, is simply gut wrenching. She doesn't care if her own daughter dies.
Yeah and the symbolism of the flower is literally lost through the localization. I didn't pick it up at first but when you do it hits even harder. Such a great animated short.
Agreed
Oh yeah the Red Hair also wth

This hits a lot harder after her legendary quest
The fact that the wilted flower is the same as clervie's necklace 😢
As far as hair color goes i think the line "do mothers usually argue with their daughters" while Clervie is injured and her mentioning that flower is enough to prove that Clervie is her biological daughter
in the cn dub, the line translates to "Do biological mothers fight with their daughters too?"
@@consumingkazoos cn?
So did they fight against each other?
@@SpikeTheWolf chinese
A full 7 minute animated short is incedible
Same apart
For real, I was expecting 2-3 mins. I was surprised to see 7 mins
It's actually crazy how they're doing it for Genshin now
@@isaacjames9732Nah bcuz I fr was expecting like a 30-1 minute at most kinda thing
A fun fact too! This is the first ever Animated Short from Genshin that isn't a Promotional Video
You can tell her arm turned black when Arlecchino was losing the fight, I think the sudden drastic combat ability difference happened because she “released” her curse.
Same curse as Caterpillar or Cater I guess. So think sorta proves that she's a neohuman just like him
@@kamveng453he’s not a neohuman tho. he’s multiple people in a body of a hilichurl, a prototype of sorts for rene’s final plan. neohumans were his first plan, which didn’t work out as not everyone turned out to be compatible, jakob is an example of one. arle’s curse is still a mystery to me, as well as what her connections to the crimson moon and khaenriah are. hopefully they explain all of that in the story quest, tho the trailer didn’t show anything like that, so it’s gonna have to be a very packed quest. at the very least we’re sure to know more about that from her voice lines.
@@kamveng453 or Caterpillar is her true offspring.
In my thought process, which I highly doubt it this theory I'm cooking up right now. What if she's born of someone of Fontaine and someone who was from Khanriah? The curse of immortality was for pure blooded Khanrian's, but the curse of turning into a monster affected all, including mixed bloods. So what if being born between this union of a Fontainian and a cursed Khanrian slowed the curse of monsterfication on Arrleccino. The people of Fontaine are originally Oceanids water spirits so a half oceanid half khanrian would be something.
😦
6:50 Thank you so much for modifying this dialogue from "Mother" to "Father" in Spanish
Ojala tambien arreglen eso en el video japo y mas importante, dentro del juego jaja

Actual Facts
I would indeed watch that as well, maybe like 1-2 seasons per specific part of the lore, depending on the length/importance.
same broo
Same
Something I noticed when Arlecchino was fighting the old Knave and the song started up, one woman's voice was singing and then it was joined by children's voices. It's Clervie and all the children who died under the old Knave supporting Arlecchino to help her win and get their revenge. It's very cool and fits the Fontaine theme.
Also, and I might be mistaken, but that shot of the hole in the ground by the dead tree seems to be where Arlecchino buried her spider. The hole being empty symbolizes that Arlecchino has become the spider and harnessed it's powers to fight the old Knave.
The shots we see of the ruined orphanage are actually direct parallels to the scenes we saw earlier. The tree where they picked bulle fruit cut down, the kitchen now holds weapons. Another detail was the sword that has the ornament on it, the same one that was in the blonde twintailed girl’s hair

@@kirbo2929 and don't forget the big hole next to the tree where arle buried her pet spider
Omg????????????????
Rewatching this after completing the quest is another feeling, more goosebumps..
Who watches this anime after completing Arlecchino's story quest?? It hits harder 😭😭
I guess the Knave being cursed with whatever is happening to to her arms and causing her to conjure fire without a vision or delusion is how she was able to tell Furina was also cursed.
Wait, I saw a thumbnail where it said that arlecchino's vision is fake.. 👀maybe it's bc of this?
nah, i think the vision is real, but i still have to understand why she have RED fire instead of normal yellow-orange, maybe is her curse, i think we will know in the game
I thought it was similar to diluc, it uses a baer vision and it uses a fire logon and then it becomes black fire. Sorry, my English is bad. @@giacomoconsiglio5744
I think the black thing curse is similar to the one happening to caterpillar from the fontaine world quest, thought it still seems far fetched since it was revealed that caterpillar wasn't just a normal kid, and I don't think arlecchino shares the same curse as him
I think she’s from khanria
So now we have confirmation that Crucabaena is the previous Arlecchino. The current Knave’s real name is Peruere. And that once again Pierro is called Director of the Fatui and not a Fatui Harbinger
that confirms pierro to be the harbinger zero, not included in the ranks
Which also means the 10th is still a mystery. Hoping for more crumbs when Arle comes by 🙏
@@snowparodyMaybe Crepus when he was alive
@@ThebestNiloumain it's a popular theory, i like it

Sorry my lore consumption is bad. Or is this fanon
Hoyo didn't have to draw Scaramouche and Rosalyne in the Harbinger cloak since yk, but I am grateful they took the opportunity from Arlecchino's backstory to do so.
This might be one of the only times we see those two in Harbinger cloaks

But wasn’t Scaramouche erased?

5:14 that legit, might just be the coolest kick in anime I have seen
Maaan, this whole thing is just so... Are they trying to butter me up? Because it's working!
Actually it's a great detail that Scaramouche doesn't have his coat closed like the others, being a puppet he can't feel the cold
He is indeed a fashionista 😂
Weirdly they still gave him boots, but maybe it was to help traverse the snow.
@@XSacredX27 definitely, especially if they had the attention to detail of making him the one who isn't dressed warm. they also look more like boots for utility than for warmth/comfort
Technically none of them do, but he is only one sporting shorts
Yet In game he still gets affected by sheer cold😭 gets his joints were feeling the effects
For those of you who missed it, the Bulle fruit _(the orange-looking fruit)_ adorned on a sword at 2:51 is a hair accessory of the blonde girl which can be first seen on 0:26, implying that she also lived long enough along with Arlecchino and Clervie, only to die along with her brothers and sisters in a fight their "Mother" forced them into. Truly a heartbreaking reality for them.
Yeah, the moment I saw Clervie (and Bulle Girl - wish we had a name) bond with Peruere, I knew we were in for a world of pain. 😢
I like how Arlecchino, as much as she dislikes Furina for her "uselessness", is so similar to her: both carry their own curse, and care about the people they're meant to protect, although they don't really show it. A big difference however is that where Furina always remained distant from her people so that she could maintain the facade of Archon, and also because getting too attached to someone when you don't have the ability to process the drawbacks of immortality as well as a god seems like a dangerous thing for your psyche, Arlecchino is cold and un uncaring because she already had to kill the ones she saw as her friends and family.
Who said Genshin couldn’t be tragic or sad?
Side note…Bulle fruit or orange we would say, is often depicted in film to show death or loss is about to occur. It’s coined back from the Italian mafia movie the God Father, and is referenced throughout media. Very apt for the name Arlecchino 🤌🏻
😢
I wonder if Arlecchino sees herself, Clervie and Bulle Fruit Girl in the trio of Lyney, Lynette and Freminet :( they probably loved each other like siblings the same way.
why does everything gotta be about sexuality n genders, shit’s draining
I rewatched this after doing the story quest. I'm really bursting into tears again
Yes it is ...
I came here after realising that I got *SPOILED* 6 days before Alrechhino Quest came out! 👁️👄👁️
5:13 In the CN version, instead of saying "Mother, my answer is no", she said "Mother, you are not worthy."
Can you link the CN version I can't find it
Same with jp, she says mother you aren't capable (to teach me)

I feel the vibes of "promise Neverland" But in a different way.
Hits different after her story quest
it's pretty clear that Clervie is the old Harbinger's daughter
1. She has a necklace of the Lumidouce bell, 'Mother' had a pot of real Lumidouce Bells.
2. As 'Mother' held the flowers, she was clearly referring to her dead daughter. "I should have pruned this flower long ago, not waited till it wilts.' (speculation) It could be her planning to kill Clervie before Preuere/Arlecchino killed her
Actually in the CN version the lines did say that she is the biological daughter of "Mother". The EN version just simply doesn't show enough.
yeah yeah. I already watched transformers revenge of the fallen.
The 2d animation on this is absolutely stunning like omg this is fire 🔥
@@killercat905 💀
+ their eyes and hair color
I dont know why noone is mentioning this, but I always thought that you could see the Surprise in Arlechinno's eyes when her best friend is stabbed. I think she refused to kill her friend so she instead did the trope where she jumped into Arle's sword and that's why she said sorry and "youll be a great King"
I'm glad you pointed it out, I think the same.
. . . . . why did they give her the pain treatment another reason why naruto villains shouldnt have to suffer (some)
I THINK THE SAME!!! AND IDK WHY NOONE IS MENTIONING THIS, LIKE???
I WAS CONFUSED THANKS FOR EXPLAINING! I didn't realize Arle's eyes were conveying shock cause she just killed Clervie/Clervie died on purpose?? 😭 idk how you fall on a sword like that
... do people lost the ability to understand subtlety?
watching this after finishing arlecchino's story RIP Clervie
Same. I like the way they built this character, even if some of the content needed to understand is outside of the game.
4:07 - CAN WE PLEASE APPRECIATE THIS ROTATING SHOT, THOUGH!?!?!? I *KNOW* that motion wasn't easy to draw!
3:47 I noticed she has a habit of scraping the ground with her blade a lot, she does that in her normal attack animations too. Really cool attention to detail
I haven’t played the game in a long while so idk what exactly she does. But with this note, my guess is her general fighting style is very hot, very fire, and having a more aggressive style vs the “water mother” who was very much on the defensive for most of the fight.
Scraping the blade was like forcibly creating friction to produce heat in prep for a hot strike
@@stickstriker To me it seemed like the mother was using the Cryo element, or you meant water solely in relation to her fighting style?
@@vergiltasev7108 to me it seems she's a hydro user - at around 4:17 she condenses the water sword she throws at Arle/Peruere. The particles seem more water-like and there even a splashing noise when it condenses.
@@tagnk6136 Yeah, you are right or rather it seems that wiki is agreeing with you. Perhaps, she could have had a hydro vision and a cryo delusion or something like that.
It’s absolutely crazy that Arlecchino is like the first solo character (or first time PERIOD) that there’s been a full animated short this long, she’s getting some SPECIAL treatment, *as she deserves!*
Yeah this is like the longest hoyo animated short I’ve seen since Honkai impact.
Unlikely her kit, she had potential
took hoyo some time, no? they've been doing it to HI3

I came here after the Arlecchino story quest😢
A full 2d animated story huh, guess we're finally seing the results between the Hoyoverse-Ufotable partnership. Hyped for the next contents
this animation was made by ufotable ?
@@yumap4126 I'm guessing it was, since they've announced a partnership for a long term project sometime ago
IMAGINE NOT GETTING AN ANIME AFTER IT'S BEEN ANNOUNCED FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS, GENSHIT MIDPACT COULD NEVER
No@@yumap4126
I love the dark easter eggs laid around the short. the sewn-up bunny doctor with sharp teeth at 0:16 is probably dottore experimenting and augmenting the children of the hearth just as he does with every Fatui soldier. but the “halo” on his head implies the Knave most likely tricked the children into thinking they were just “check-ups” by a “good” doctor
yes! I also feel like at 0:19 we see a sick puppy(?) with a bow and bunny with an orange, and then immediately two girls, one with a bow and closes in the same color as that puppy and another with an orange in her hair; I guess that girl with a bow, the one that dies at Peruere hands, is a sick daughter of "Mother" that couldn't keep up with challenges (scene at 1:34) and whom her mother decided to kill because of that as a "useless flower"
Ooooh I saw that bunny/bat and thought about the same implications with the halo but instantly went to child experiments (especially with the unholy amount of syringes shown laying around), but the possibilty of that being dottore went completely over my head. Would make sense though.
I'm waiting for Dottore to appear in the plot)) favorite character
Damn that’s a cool detail
I take all the Dottore crumbs I can get 😭
An interesting paralel seems to be how mother use cryo abilities alluding to the beautiful and serene appearance of ice but yet cold and unfeeling nature of it as well whereas peruere uses pyro abilities mimicking her scary and dangerous surface but potential for warmth and growth like a bonfire or a hearthflame
Two fun details:
Elements have meaning in Teyvat. Cryo is the element of misfits; people with two contradictory sides. 'Mother' is a gentle caring parent on the outside but a torturous, child-murdering psycho on the inside. Pyro is the element of inheritors; those who have the torch passed on to them.
Funnily enough, neither of them can be seen with a vision in this animation. Peruere's fist glows with flames inside before igniting, showing the power comes from within and likely from human experimentation. 'Mother' is a Harbinger and likely uses a delusion, explaining why she uses cryo sparingly.
@@PieaterProducts I don't know that your categorization would be comprehensive and therefore accurate. Xinyan isn't an inheritor, for example, she was ostracized and went on her own path. Klee is unknown and I could probably bring up others.
Ganyu and Chongyun may fit the misfit category to a T but Mika and Charlotte not so much. Charlotte is very much in harmony with herself and while Mika may be awkward, he isn't at odds with himself either.
There's always exceptions whenever you try and box in the allogenes.
see, that would make sense.... if she was using cryo. But you can clearly see her using hydro, not cryo, when she forms the blade. If she was cryo, there would have been cold/frost clouds forming around her when she was making the sword, but instead, you hear the sound of flowing water slightly when she makes her blade.
@@RuneKatashima Klee is said to be exactly like her mother Alice. Xinyan, however, suffers from my simplified, catchier definition. Pyro characters carry a legacy to the next generation, be it family, teacher or concept. What Xinyan did was spread rock and roll to a whole new culture. (Her lore specifically states her deciding to force rock and roll into the culture.)
The other not-so-obvious Pyro users are Thoma and Yanfei. When Thoma moved to Inazuma, his father taught him a new life lesson to always repay your debts. When the Kamisatos who took them in fell on hard times, Thoma refused to run away, following his father's words. Yanfei has embedded herself fully into the laws of the Nation of Contracts. For all practical purposes, she IS the law.
For cryo:
Charlotte's dream is not reporting. She is a master photographer and there is no subject more challenging to capture than the truth.
Mika is a timid, nervous knight assigned to one of the most dangerous posts.
Freminet is also a little tricky. He feels no love for his family, yet when death came for his siblings, he put himself in incredible peril for them. He never told anyone of his heroics while they were unconscious.
Ayaka is also a bit vague. She is a princess who is isolated from her people. She also strives to be a princess that can defeat an opponent in a single strike of her sword. Once she accomplished this feat, her vision appeared.
And just to throw it out there,
Hydro characters are devout to a code or similar ruleset. They have a constant goal instead of a definitive start and end.
Anemo characters are determined to help themselves when no on else will. They are self-reliant.
Electro characters reject reality and substitute their own. They're determined to live their lives in ways that defy the norm and expected course of action.
Dendro characters are self-sacrificial.
Geo characters are stubborn and (usually) have impossible goals.
@@LinkstaLink oh thats a good point i didnt really notice that. But either way my point on their differences in naturestill stands whether mother is cryo or hydro seeing as both elements are still considered opposites to pyro
People are overreacting to this "spoiling" the SQ,meanwhile I felt like the story quest hit much harder because of it and it felt bad how badly misunderstood the situation was during the quest
Just watched this again and I just noticed the symbolism of cleurvine as the flower that wilted, but never died and was with Arlecchino until the end of the fight. The lyrics of the song made this immensely more powerful too
I LOVE THIS OGKMGMGM

The location where Crucabena (Former Knave) died was located at Mont Esus East. Is the same place when we fight Arlecchino weekly boss. OH MY GOD I can’t believe it.
@@truestrose234you mean dub?
it looks more like the place Clervie died actually
I think they both died at the same place. As in the area is same. Crucabena died inside the house while Clervie died outside
And it kind of seems like the world quest writ large is meant to parallel this scene; with lyney and Lynette believing father has framed them.
This is the most and definitely the best animation I've watched so far. Keep up the good work Hoyoverse
We got Arlecchino anime before the Genshin anime, LET'S GOOO🔥🔥🔥
The Genshin anime has a lot to live up to if we're getting these kind of quality of animated shorts
They are hiring the best drawer,writer,animator and any others that you would need for a animation studio

If hoyo can cook something like this. We can rest assured that Genshin Anime is ongoing
the real question is, will mihoyo produced anime come out first or will ufotable finished the job first?
Hoyo releases anime shorts all the time for honkai impact though. So it isnt really a fair metric
@@oniplus4545 probably finish the game first and the anime will be kinda like a summary of the story

I still can't believe they had this story planned out over 7 years in advance.... This is insane.
7 years of planning for 7 minutes of beauty
@@sushmasree827 No. 7 years of planning for entire story up to this point. You see, before releasing game Hoyoverse claimed that they have enough story for 10 years. So this, along everything we seen in game was planned before genshin even came out 😊.
its literally just the same "emo boys friend dies so he grows cruel" story, like scaramouche. no hate to genshin but this was so predictable
Not really.
When you establish a long-term scenario it is common to decide in advance several elements such as the beginning, the middle and the possible endings, the rest are the steps to get there. Also, it is normal to establish the lore of the most important characters in advance (in the case of Genshin: the twins, Paimon, Dain, the Archons, the Harbingers, the primordial dragons, etc.).
I mean, there are even authors like GRR Martin or JK Rowling who have fun making family trees and writing lots of things about the lore of their works without initially intending to publish them.
@@nishisun5008It's actually the opposite
who knew a seven minute animation could make me feel this many emotions at once
fontain is the dangerous place to live if one is a child
I CANT WAIT FOR ARLE
I hate how this just a tiny crum of Arlecchino lore. But seeing why she doesn't like to be called "mother" I can respect that
A CRUMB?! This is her freaking origin story! That's worth a meal at least.
@@brandonpierce2539 Well I mean her origin story was summed up in a montage and a 20 second fight, which was good dont get me wrong. I would've liked to have seen more though. And there really is more to show there but like in good genshin fashion, when the lore is important enough all we get is crumbs
"She killed a Harbinger?" So thats how she succeeded her and became one?
This short made this character a whole lot more interesting
Considering the tsaritza is the god of love, I'd think she'd be happy with this harbinger replacement
This was confirmed ages ago by an Inazuma NPC.
@@nexuhs. love takes many forms, not all of them are kind (not talking about lustful acts either)
actually one of the main ways harbringers are replaced its just that most of them are basically immortal

Literally full body chills. Oh. my. god.
Genuinely insane the amount of effort and detail included in this 7 minute video, very thoughtful for them to make something like this to give us a good preview for her upcoming quest- just amazing i loved watched this sm 😭
I like that the mother is kind and caring on the outside but cold and dark on the inside, Meanwhile the "father" is cold and dark on the outside but kind and caring on the innside
idk, if she really cared, would she really raise these children to go to war ?
@@ChomskysGaming She cares because she is preparing them for the reality and the world they live in, being Fatui isn't playground, she doesn't treat them as only agents tho, in comparison to the previous leader, and she actually cares about their lives
@@ChomskysGamingcuz she’s the harbinger? It’s her job to raise the kids so that they can help with the harbingers’ works. The house of hearth is a place to turn kids into tools after all.
@ChomskysGaming because she's still loyal to the tsaritsa, and maybe that was the original intention with this orphanage
I hope a lot of you noticed but she both literally and figuratively broke her ceiling while fighting the late harbinger which was her blooming moment. Hoyoverse being hoyoverse, the animated shorts hit high just like Honkai Impact.
I really hope and wish the Genshin Anime does justice to the lore ❤
Ooooo ..my theory is that .What if the anime is actually the Archon war?? They might be waiting untill all the archon designs are released and their lore is revealed to the playerbase..
Or maybe..the Cataclysm??? Damnn

@@sourgummycakemaybe old hi3rd animations r better, but the new ones look so cheap
The real question is how can you not notice that? lol it’s literally the main climax of the video
Am I the only one who has watched this an unhealthy amount of times since it’s come out!?!?
This is why i am in love Genshin Impact! The music, character design, lore! Congratz of you all.
All of Arleccino’s dodging when she kills her “mother” reminds me of how in her boss, she will dodge everything if you stay far away
Omg you are right! Nice catch!
Part 2: Update
ua-cam.com/video/FhBaY5zUStc/v-deo.html
Glorious subtext moments:
1) The music as Mother tells the story, along with her voice, seem caring and welcoming. While the story depicts cruelty and death. The kids, ignorant of the images, are amazed and happy.
2) "Her curse must be flaring up again." The black fingers being referred to as a curse implies it's either bad for Arle, or makes her more dangerous. Mother just sent her biological daughter to confront an emotionally unstable person while her 'curse' is flaring. The first sign of Mother not caring for her true child.
3) The injuries on Clervie as Arle asks "Do mothers usually argue with their daughter?", paired with the satisfied expression at the well-done bandages, combined with Arle being spotless, implies abuse on Clervie specifically. More maternal hatred.
4) The Lumidouce Bell on Clervie's necklace, giving a possible reason for the maternal hatred: A partner that was taken too soon, perhaps, that Clervie either reminds her of in a bad way, or falls drastically short of.
5) "I heard that in Snezhnaya, the colored lights dance in the sky at night." Arle's BFF here suggests a way for them to escape the pain of their situation, a better life, together. Arle's shocked face at the proposition will come in again later, but already implies a certain amount of hope/listlesness that only Clervie seems to be able to get her out of.
6) Judging from how Clervie is standing up against Arle, and Arle is just standing straight, it can be implied that Clervie impaled herself on Arle's sword. Clervie also seems entirely unruffled as opposed to Arle having blood on her face from someone else's injuries; Not impossible to assume that they teamed up, and that Clervie decided she couldn't live with the situation.
"Thank you." for protecting me. "I'm sorry." for making you go through this/not following our promise.
It's also possible she had someone elses' sword through her, but that doesn't quite have the same Hoyo touch.
7) Rain. Obvious thematics, but can't help but hear the "Hydro dragon, hydro dragon, don't cry."
8) Bloody sword with the orange and crater with the spear to send the message that yes, the other kids fought and died too.
9) The bandages as Arle walks up to face Mother are a mirror of the bandages Clervie used to patch herself up after Mothers' abuse.
10) The music picking up Opera style to hint that Mother is in fact a Harbringer of the Fatui
11) The plushies of Arle and Clervie on the ground, Clervie's dead on her back and Arle's hanging over it, while a syringe on the foreground tells of the experiments that led to the end of Clervie's life and Arle's childhood innocence.
12) Mother holding the wilting Lumidouce Bell, a plant with 3 flowers now down to 2. Mothers' comments serving both as a disparagement of Clervie, and through the symbolism of the flower, Arle's attachment to Clervie.
13) The early stage of the fight is set to highlight Mother being the more skilled combatant, but also already showing Arle's incredible strength through the cracking of the floor, the wall, and the way Mother keeps being pushed back.
14) The clash of Hydro and Pyro, in all accounts another way of Mother and Arle being of opposite natures.
15) "A bird tied down will never leave the nest. You are no exception." - A direct contrast to the happy-sounding (but kinda depressing) song of the beginning; "May the birds soar from their cage"
16) Arle loses a clash of Elements, as Water and Fire clash into a Vaporize right up in her face. Not power, but attribute. She's been fighting like a berserker, and Mother has been having a fairly good time seeing the fruits of her plan.
17) The curse, triggered by not just sadness, but sadness being worked through? (last time seen to advance with the funeral of her spider), advanced as Arle stares at the Lumidouce Belle. The memories, the childhood, the desire to reunite and the parting. The way is long and the gloom is deep, but there are still embers glowing in the hearth, and those who sing the song hope that she will not be tainted by fate. Nothing to fear. Never look back. Go ahead, as the skipped lyrics state.
The curse advances. Arle's emotions settle. Not removed, but controlled, and with her rediscovered cool, pushed forward not by loss but by the sentiments of her fellows;
"Though bones and minds were chained
You cut down the thorns again and again
Your pride will not be slain
From the heart to the veins"
She rises, her (super)natural strength proving more than enough to practically ignore Mothers' relentless assault. And then the children join the song in truth, the latin being something like 'Fate won't end you, this tribulation won't stop you'.
And most pointedly: As Arle's emotions are restrained, Mother becomes more emotional. And ultimately, Arle's cold-minded flames destroy the very foundation of Mothers' pride, before ending her entirely.
18) As Arle is sitting in jail, a snowflake unnaturally waves through the air, showing Arle the Snezhnayan night, with colored lights dancing in the sky. Her face of shock at the sight a direct mirror to the time where Clervie invited her to go see it when they were older.
19) The snowflake being the thing to show her the light and breaking her out of her stupor can be seen as a strong hint that the feelings of hope and trust inspired by Clervie will move on to the Tsaritsa.
20) As the Knave, she adopts the title of Father, vowing to stand in direct contrast to Mother.
Mother feigning care and affection, only to treat her Children with callous disregard, as ingredients to be used. Father feigning aloofness and stoicism, while genuinely caring for those in her charge.
21) Costume design. Especially with the more recent stuff, Arle's tux is a great blend of showing an extreme strictness and being tightly wound up emotionally, while also showing off a butler-esque atmosphere; Of someone who cares, and looks after others. If you look deep enough.
22) The Curse, with its coloration and the lines, really remind of Hilichurls, implying connections to the Abyss. Feels like there's something to Arle of all people being the one trusted with Childe's vision with that in mind. But that's probably reading too much into it.

Wow this is really good, I read everything and feel that you could create your own lore channel and I'd follow it. Great attention to detail. Thanks for sharing man
Just a little note that mother seems to actually use cryo not hydro, in 4:20 you can see that the blade she throws seems to be crystallised? At the edges, making it look more ice than water, making her and arle’s abilities more contrasting, and another comment pointed out that mother uses ice because it looks nice and pretty it’s very dangerous and usually not a good thing, mirroring her demeanour, while arle’s fire looks dangerous, it can represent warmth and the safety that comes along with it, otherwise these are all amazing details so thank you ❤️
