Why focalor had to die, why she didnt just gave gnosis to hydro dragon 500 years back?

Is Traveller's ability to become a Saurian a lore accurate fact or just a game mechanic?

You laughed at calling Deshret "the Cyan King", but consider for a moment that the opposite of cyan on the color wheel *is* red, and Teyvat is structured as a set of opposites (elemental energy vs. abyssal energy, overworld vs. underworld, gods vs. dragons, etc.). Suddenly, cyan makes a lot of sense in relation to Deshret.

Happy to hear you named your saurian John, since I named mine Carlos 😂

"The first crowned heir began her journey of seeking the pearl. But she was deceived, and the memory of her noble origins faded." And now we know that the Loom of Fate, which was up until this point uncompleted, can implant fake memories in its unrealized form. Could be that the sibling got their memories screwed with so they would to become the prince/ss of the abyss?

You know who also has vertical pupils? Miko in her Ult.

No Kaeya mention this time bois

Well, to me. Nobody has the capability of battling Fate as long as you are in its standards. The Sage is really looking forward to transcend human into evolution to ensure that it can twist the Fate of unending cycle. There are two things that I can match your theory: -- If transcendence is to be Human-Dragon being, then that means we're no longer bounded by the Fate of this world. This would create another sin, that Celestia would not turn a blind eye. Celestia park on Teyvat to change the turf of this dragon era into something better under the same rule. Even Xbalanque did some sacrifice just to create a rule on which the new civilization would benefit. IF this theory would happen, I no longer doubt why you don't have to trust the sage -- it's a bigger problem. -- If transcendence is to become one with the dragons [As you're already "Chosen of the Dragons"], then this has something to do with a new rule. I can sense that Saurians will definitely stay, but the curse that our Tepetlisaurus will be transferred to US, Travelers. Making our end getting the power of divinity/archon. If that's the case, then we can create a new rule for Natlan. The suspended nail in Night Kingdom will be fallen to it making the Abyss unable to infiltrate to it, successfully making the Leyline- like area beneficial for the nation. Thus, making the impending destruction to be avoided. Wayob's are happy, and peace will come all at once in Natlan. This PLAN is very memorable to all MCs as we will now have a chance to secure the Gnosis for once in our entire journey, another nation to save. A Super Saiyan 3 Traveler. -- This would really force the Fatui to avoid Natlan. Even Capitano would think twice fighting Traveler infused with Pyro-Archon power and Mavuika the Pyro Archon-entitled entity with lossless primal fire. What do you think, @roozeveltfox ?

I'd love to hear what you think about characters like chongyun and dehya, both who have slit pupils and have some draconic themes (chongyun with his yang (dragon) energy and dehya with her constellation being a manticore.

mmm good soup!

This works with natlan too?!

plot twist: Teyvat is Undertale story

you calling the saurian "little guy" throughout this vid is so perfect to me bc i named mine "fafik" which is basically just lil guy in polish lol

Kaeya mention 😻

0:12 what? You are the best roozevelt💚

please never stop cooking 🙏🏻

7:46 this is very similar to what enjo-i mean Sanka, said in kinich’s story quest. I just get the feeling he’ll play a huge role in the future now. (He said something about how civilizations and worlds will always perish)

Didn't we fight Klingsor at the end of the Pari quest and he was a Hydro Herald, not a Baptist? Genshin's talk about vertical pupils is confusing because of one thing. Chongyun. Other than Baizhu, who traded his eyes with a snake, Chongyun is the only playable character who has slit vertical pupils. Is Chongyun supposed to be read as a vishap person? I don't think so. (Although... maybe that would explain his constitution in a way? Dragons and their descendants seem to be fairly volatile in temperament. Hmmm). But maybe his pupils are just... not vertical enough? In which case, when do pupils become vertical enough to be reptilian? Or maybe the writers hadn't shared this idea with the art team before Chongyun was designed?

ENJOU!!!!!

Me, a league player watching this: GLORIOUS EVOLUTION ~

Ok so the whole thing about eyes reminded me of a thought I had recently - a lot of characters have weird as hell eyes and we're just expected to not bat an eye, like Mualani literally has fish-shaped pupils and nobody comments, but Kachina specifically says Kinich's eyes are what intimidated her when they first met And, well, they're very very reptilian, wouldn't you say? The pupils aren't quite slitted but they're diamond shaped in a way that could be construed as partway to becoming slitted like how Xabalanqe's changed, right? I mainly bring this up bc of Enjou's interest in him and Ajaw while specifically looking into a dragon-human again. You know, Ajaw...who's eyes we never actually see. Why is the little lizard pixel art wearing sunglasses all the time, he's supposed to be a fragment of some ancient dragon, isn't he? Did sunglasses even exist last time he interacted with the world?? So what if he has them in this form now to hide the fact that this contract between him and Kinich literally gave Kinich his eyes, his draconian eyes in Ajaw's yellow and green and the reptilian streakiness and everything? What if, for Ajaw to one day take over his body, that body needed to become at least a bit draconic to be able to facilitate Ajaw's soul, making them a VERY interesting case for Enjou to study now that we know he's clearly actually interested in the whole story he used to try and trick us in Enkanomiya instead of just using it against us This might be insanity or it might become very very relevant depending on what's going on with Xabalanqe, or it might even be totally correct but Hoyo just doesn't do anything with it like whatevers going on with present day Sumeru characters mirroring ancient ones in a way that cannot be unintentional after a certain point (Kaveh's final constellation is literally a reference to the Eternal Oasis, THAT would be insane to include for no reason!)

The topic of "evolution" has been brought up before. We have evolution by merging with abyssal power, evolution by merging of identity and consciousness, and now we have evolution by merging species and bloodlines. Not sure I'd call the last one "profane", compare to evolution by abyssal powers. The biggest reason the Sage would keep his plan secret is probably because the likelihood of HP to intervene if Celestia learns about dragons attempting to assimilate into human bloodline and creating a hybrid of sort. I doubt average Natlan fighter who could, at any time, lose their lives and the lives of their loved one would object merging with their saurian partner, as long as this plan isn't another Human Instrumentality Project that forcefully turn individuals into human-dragon hybrids. Or maybe if that's really what the sage has been planning, then this is gonna feel like deja vu of Narzissencreuz. Lastly, a fun quote from another rereading of Obsidian Codex: "Or perhaps his long-considered plan would crumble should the *everlasting flame reconnect with the roots of the earth*." This gotta be a reference to the potential burning of Irminsul. Dottore would be very exicited.

I wasnt playing when Enkanomiya came out so I missed the Enjou hype unfortunately

16:34 oh that's crazy. but in a good way. but dang.

Your obligatory mention of Kaeya and Ashkai's obligatory mention of King Deshret/Golden slumber is a tradition now lol

9:52 ECHO??? WUTHERING WAVES SWEEP RAAAAAAH🦅🦅🦅🦅WHAT THE FUCK IS PLAYER RETENTION

Was that a shoutout to homestarrunner?!

Obligatory kaeya mention 🎉

Nice Trogdor reference, there. 😉😆

may I please praise how gorgeous is this 2:16 shot? it's so beautiful I kinda didn't pay my full attention to anything else but kaeya

and I'm thinking of zhongli, because.. you know those little dragon statues all around the Qince Village? legend says that those statues almost resemble the true form of morax and all I see is a dragon on the human body like... a humanoid dragon I think?

Ничего не поняла, но кажется там что-то про Кэйю, так что лайк однозначно

imagine if this is the way we get pyro traveler

“Many of you might remember Enjo as-" O-Oh I totally did betay them 🤓☝️

it's true, enjou IS a relatable queen. also i hope they make him playable E: also, "instrumentality to avoid the abyss" *would* track with most of the world and story quests we've dealt with thus far E2: Khaenri'ah loosely means something like "traitor of winds" right? mayhaps that's a point of connection worth considering in relation to the Ring Cycle's premise, seeing as Istaroth seems to have disappeared from history

Ok, if the eye differences denote an evolutionary step, then does the billion characters with unique eyes (Mualani, Hu Tao, etc) signs of evolution or simply evolutionary mutations?

yae miko spoiling the story years ago 😭

Always love your crack theories. Can't wait to see your take on Kinich's story quest!

Okay, so... I don't want to be that Dottore fan, but the first thing it came to my mind was the Fatui soldiers having implanted delusions on their bodies... maybe mimic the mix of a human and a being capable of using the elements naturally like, idk... dragons? (Sorry for the broken english, not my first language)

Glad I'm not the only one who still thinks about the _other_ HSR.

Gotta feeling that enjou gonna be against the abyss and us eventually

Im like number 999 lets go

My lil guy Saurian is named Lil’Bungo he’s a special boi ❤

Great video! This all is reminding me of your video on "the cosmic man." Dualties becoming one spells out dark stuff for the travelers. 🧐

I thought Sanka was similar to Enjou, but had no direct evidence to say they were the same. I am quite pleased we meet him and confirm that Sanka is Enjou in the Kinich quest. Also: all this merging, evolving, alchemical marriage business reminds me of the end of The Dark Crystal. When that crystal is healed with the shard, the evil Skesis merge with the gentle Uru mystics to become the cosmic travelling Ur-Skeks who return to stars. 🤔

unrelated to the theory but i love the little guy is named just john .

do you think it's possible the sage could've attempted merging human and dragon together already by merging with xbalanque himself? and that's why xbalanque was able to defeat the pyro sovereign, obtain the sacred flame, and ascend to become the first pyro archon. i've alway found it suspicious that xbalanque was the one who commented on neuvillette's drip marketing that "someday, when they return, their true ordeal shall begin". i feel like him potentially having knowledge of the sovereigns reincarnating hints that he knew more than any human should have.

Wait- Now that i think about it, Pacal says that the ones that embarked on the journey to free their saurian companions of the mark never made it back.... but Ngoubou's description makes it seem like he came back indeed- although with no happy ending. But what about the human? if no human made it back- does this mean that the ritual is for the dragon to absorb the human? and no human came back because they were absorbed? Obviously it can't happen to us, but what if we end up absorbing our little companion- i don't want thattttt

my immediate thought after reading the sage of the stolen flame's quote about merging two bloodlines (human & dragon) was khaenri'ahn purebloods!! i'm glad you went exactly where i was thinking lol. for the longest time i've had these completely unfounded, delusional thoughts about the 1st inhabitants of khaenri'ah making some sort of pact with nibelung or ultimately being descendants of him, and although that's not confirmed (yet...?), i can't believe they've basically confirmed dragon/human people real. sometimes being delulu pays off... we are one step closer to dragon kaeya. o7
