The story was so mid, first AQ that made me wanna skip half way.

My favorite part is that renova could have just denied the Captains demand. I see using the ruler of deaths power to be like a contract that nobody should be able to break.

This is simple to understand if ee assume Crimson Moon is a being and a shade. I don't understand Perinheri story yet. It's had no Sense

11:11 are the shades a higher level of being and can therefore see khanriah?

yowhodabich so funny

The captain is not dead he will return but probably not for sometime his body still stands but his spirit was infused to the lay lines mark my word he will return after the burning of the tree by the doctor

So you think Nibelung reincarnated in a different body and become the 2nd descender? Along with abyssal power and forbidden knowledge? I have a questions, do you think King Irmin is Nibelung in disguise?

Along with humans being equal in the eyes of the greater beings of Teyvat, I think your explanation is also supported by the fact that Ronova was still getting the other alternative she posited with Xbalanque from Capitano's sacrifice--namely, the thousands of innocent "lives" Capitano was sheltering within him which were now able to flow into the Night Kingdom and become part of the "death" established as a rule of Natlan's Ley Lines.

No, they'll be available in 6.0 or smth

"I'm not racist, I accept all races, _even the bad ones_." 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

What background music do you use? I swear I hear Slay The Princess but it's hard to tell lol

HI YES I'M HERE, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT THIS! Arlecchino already scares the shit out of me, Ronova only made that fear worse lol

Imagine being an empire that prides itself for seeing past the lies of the gods and doesn't need no god...only to find out you've been branding yourself after one of the four shining shades of the PRIMORDIAL ONE. Must've been a very awkward moment lmao

Friggin finally, man ! I was loosing my mind that no one talked about this 😂

u know, ive been thinking about something. In fontaine they said the heavenly principles are asleep cause they are prolly wounded or something. And we know one of the 4 shades Asmodeus (the unknown god in the starting game cutscene) was prolly wounded after the khanreah disaster if u look at her hands. Now that is why we all thought the heavenly principle n the shades were quiet when the hydro throne was destroyed was cause they were in a hibernation state. YET we see Ronova casually coming here to fulfill her contract. So that means the other shades must be awake as well, so why didn't they do anything when the hydro throne was destroyed n its power to returned to a dragon soverign?!? Because we know Phanes n their shades fought Nibelung and the sovereigns so they should have responsibility even if Phanes was the only one asleep. And heck even Ronvoa saw Paimon directly n didn't comment anything about her. Also am i the only one who finds Ronova's voice kinda hot?

11:06 lmao i felt the same way about the name 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I saw a comment from roozevelt's video that perfectly summarize how Capitano save Natlan. - Ronova doesn't have the right to choose the sacrifice(nor doe she care about it), but "the way to die" and bc she accept the " offering a life to the Lord of the Night(LotN)" as the way to pay the debt. It's now the right for the LotN to choose the sacrifice to pay that debt. Kinda like if you buy Ronova's product(power), she ask which way you're gonna pay it. You offer a certain way to pay(offering lif to the LotN) and ask her if she accept that way or not. She doesn't if you're gonna use your own money(life) or others to pay. As long as you pay her in equal amount(or greater), she will accept it. - I think the "amount" of payment is how this "death" can benefit Teyvat. Mavuika offers her life force that prolong the LotN for a few 100 years, while Capitano can offer a much longer life. This is why Ronova said that if the Pyro Archon would be chicken out and offer others, it might cost countless life bc it requires a lot of life to reach that "amount" - The reason why Ronova chose the curse of immortality over her rule of death to avoid the paradox is bc the curse of immortality has higher authority to govern life than the death itself(I think Dain said something along this line before.). That's why those with the curse can't die. About the act 5, while I think it's weaker than Sumeru or Fontaine, I like Natlan AQ as a whole more than the other 2 bc even tho I think Fontaine act 5 is the best act, act 3 and the early part of act 4 brings down a lot of points for me when judging Fontaine AQ as a whole. Compare to Sumeru, I think I like the lore Natlan gives a bit more. Also, I think the peak of Natlan AQ is in act 4, not act 5 like Sumeru and Fontaine.

I'm getting this feeling that were going to meet Nous Aeon of Erudition and end up fighting Nous Aeon of Erudition

Okay but many things you say don’t makes sense or u don’t know are actually explained. Example: (ill try my best as i dont remember that well) Theres this thing called forbidden knowledge. Its basically knowledge of life on teyvat after the primodial one came to teyvat, beat dragon sovereigns, and ruled prosperously and peacfully, creating basically heaven for human kind. The prosperity didnt last, for the second one who came ascended to teyvat and fought primodial one. Its heavily implied that the second throne of heaven won the war and practically wreaked havoc (pillar in dragonspine and in chasm and the other places are result of that, among many other things). Orabashi actually got hold of that knowledge (or he knew it all along?) and celestia basically said “you or your people dead-choose” so its believed that he attacked some islands in inazuma and in return got willingly killed by Ei. NABU ALSO knew about this knowledge because she is actually a seelie- her kind was existing peacefully in time of primodial ones rule, but is later punished by celestia because of an unknown sin and roam the planet like the seelies we know in game but nabu actually somehow managed to keep her human form. Deshret wanted that forbidden knowledge from nabu so he could get rid of “shackles of celestia”, as in oppose its rule. Nabu at first warned deshret of many great dangers this knowledge brings but ultimately decided to help him (i guess probably because celestia punished her kind and forced them to practically go extinct) so rukkhadevata leaves and creates forests of sumeru because she doesnt agree. Deshret goes crazy, knowledge corrupts his people and land and eventually he is sentenced to death (i guess by celestia also?) and (this is my personal opinion) accepts the punishment as to make things easier for his people. Great lord rukkhadevata saves desert people, is now alone as the last of the three god kings and accepts the gnosis and is selected archon because well…what other options are there? Shes already literally a god king and was ruling for years. Im sure i missed many things and maybe some of this is wrong, it’s been a while since i did my research. And i know that these things dont add much to the actual theory WHY did it come to war in the first place, but i think that has more to do with celestia and heavenly ones than gods on teyvat. And we know literally almost nothing about those so…

Does anyone want renaova to be playable in the future? Is it just me?

idk why, but im still kinda hung up on this theory of mine that the Abyss is like a mini version of the sea of quanta, and the irminsul tree is like a mini version of the imaginary tree, another thing is, if we do get a new element, part of me expects it might be two together. Why? Simple. The "light" element heavily reminds me of the imaginary element from HI3, and HSR. The colors kinda match up and its usually reserved for those who are pretty strong (i.e. the final herrscher forms for the main trio hi3, welt in hsr, and even Durandal from HI3.) meanwhile, the quantum element shares similarities to the abyss as well, not just in color, but partly i think in how it acts. I dont know how true it is as I mainly looked it up using the hi3 wiki which hasn't been maintained very well compared to the other hoyo games, but something interesting is Seele as a herscher is not chosen by the usual person or by the will of honkai, but rather by the sea of quanta (At least i think thats what was said, it's been a while.) and i believe if i remember correctly the will of honkai is basically like a pruning service for the irminsul tree, discarding planets or universes where civilization reached a certain stage, and overcoming something like the honkai is required to be allowed to exist sort of. Perhaps the heavenly principals and the fake sky was to prevent the world from being watched by both the Imaginary tree and sea of quanta, trying to protect them from having something like the honkai come in and destroy the world like many other planets have faced. Maybe thats why the planet is an "Ark." and the sea of quanta being interested in the world is precisely because it is being kept away from it's watch, but also because the imaginary tree may not have this planet as "part of it" if you will. Idk though. I kinda just spitballed nonsense tbh. Well if anyone gets inspired by this, then that's all good i guess.

Ronova gets edged by Capitano

Interesting parallels between the moon sisters and shades; • Are all women. • Angel symbolism (eyes, wings, halos.) • Missing their 4th member (Istaroth & 4th Moon Sister) Divergences: • Moon sisters driven to war with one another. • Istaroth being betrayed by Khaenri'ah (Betrayers of Wind) while Moons were worshipped • Shades meant to prefer being forgotten and unnamed, while Moons are worshipped. I thought seelies were native to Teyvat because they were based on sea slugs, which were thought to represent dragons (Durin, Apep, Melusines, Seelies.) And I assumed they betrayed dragons and chose to side with Celestia & remake the world, becoming the emissaries. Perhaps the shades are created to be like the Moon Sisters -if they existed pre-Celestia- likely for the purpose of replacing the Sisters. Or (and this is more likely) the Moon Sisters were also created by Celestia and/or the Shades, hence why they are similar to their biblically accurate predecessors. (Seelies looking like sea slugs is the only loose end here.)

The Primordial One--A SEXY PROGENITOR GOD HAILING FROM BEYOND THE STARS ✨

You doing Polish has me crying from laughing

anyone else noticed the difference in Ronova's voice in Xbalanque flashback and in the quest? It's not just the effects to cause fear, and the eyes thing (only when talking to Xbalanque she was showing herself in presence) but her tone, her intention, the way she speaks, she seems different, as if she had transformed in another thing

the way you mispronounce nous is actually driving me up the wall

8:28 Is that Barbara?

To add more to the Ronova is the Crimson Moon theory, in the book "Fall of the Faded Castle"(if i am not wrong the Faded Castle is obviously Remurian) it is said that "The dark-robed figure would surely collect on debts owed," which sounds a lot like how Ronova demanded death for her powers being used, the book goes onto speak about how the figure snatched the lives of everyone in the castle and it's master with these lines "A glowing **red** fog-cloud, Embraced the castle just like a shroud" The **blood moon** the towers once blocked reappeared in the sky, Its **baleful glow** sweeping the land." However if I am not wrong there was no mention of the Shade of Death on anything related to the fall of Remuria and Remus but I do think Remus in his desperation to save his people might have struck some sort of deal with Ronova but im not sure, just wanted to add input

This quest had such corny moments, but ngl that hug between Paimon and Traveler almost made me tear up...

Sustainer of Heavenly Principles to Khaenri'ah: Stop, you've violated the law! The Four Shades of the Primordial One during the Cataclysm: Nah, imma do my own thing.

It’s pretty interesting how we know so much about Belle and Wise yet this tidbit in 1.4 made us realize we actually don’t know much about them at all lol

@Dawit All I'm saying is if the PRIMORDIAL ONE didn't usurp the land from my glorious crackhead dragon king nibelung he wouldnt have nuked teyvat with the abyss XD.

The fight against GoodSoySauce was alright, but i really wanted more lore and higher stakes and less Shonen Dominic Toretto "friends and family" tropes.

I was looking into some stuff from Honkai and while I know basically nothing of it, I think it's funny that the character that has the stigmata of the herrscher of death has a red-coloured battlesuit... With butterfy motifs on it... Where they use a scythe... With an eye on it. Peculiar. Can't help but wonder what that might have given some ideas for.

if anyone in Genshin is in desperate need of a well-deserved power-nap it's Capitano (if assuming he ill wake up again one day and become playable)

Tbh, I really liked how straight forward Natlan’s story was. Any time I play a hoyo game they tend to not exactly be great at handling twists and sometimes it just kinda flops really hard. They went for a really straightforward story and Natlan and it was kinda gas, only real complaint is how long it took to get our asses into the night kingdom to fight gossoythoth. That whole fight sequence though was unadulterated hype, from the traveller unlocking pyro like some anime super saiyan transformation to the fuckin music and giant fuckin flame sword, I was grinning like an idiot that entire fight.

As someone who has played Honkai Impact 3rd, I find it rather suspicious how all of the Abyss’s entities have the same color scheme as Sa/Vita…!

are you a brother? subbed

One more thing, Arlecchino hears the voices of the slain in her sleep, the same thing Capitano avoided by not falling asleep. Because he held the souls of the fallen... so does Arlecchino's body or fire also act as a leyline?

Now i wanna think that the four shades have atleast one element they are associated with. Anemo for time, Hydro for life, Pyro for death, and Geo? for space/void.

Ronova clearly had a lot to do with the lore, this just came into my head but i think she doesn’t like the heavenly principles and is kind of a rebel, that may explain why she had helped Natlan before by sharing her power with Xbalanque, maybe she did it to Khaenri’ah too. And she also seems like one of the shades that interacted with humans the most, as if they were her entertainment.

I actually have something to say because now with the hoyofair 2024 hoyo paid artists and animators to do an animation for them it has columbina in it button looks like she’s super powerful it can be that she was maybe actually needed to be the 1 not the 3 because maybe she doesn’t really do what the tsaritsa wants hope I spelled that right and does what she wants maybe?

0:36 RHEHEHEHEHHSHDHDUFIQHAGAGAG😈

Seems you follow Sabine Hossenfelder videos, man... yeah, looks like what she would say :D

Arlecchino and Ronova are hawt 🥵

Any idea why Ronova cannot deal with the paradox creted using her own rule? If she rejects the rule that death is necessary for using her power, then Capitano's paradox should be resolved. That seems to be a better outcome than ignoring the paradox that can break the world.

But also if you think of it being able to live 200 years. Iw ant to know what is keeping her. What made her long life lasting. I think it's because she has been blessed that's why she's the Greatest shaman but really i don't know what is the source of her long life

Coming back to this video citlali is a great shaman master shaman 2nd after the archon mauvika she's like the trusted advisor. But iansan is closer to mauvika citlali has power to be able link realms and potentially see discussion gods have. Imagine going to bed and dreaming of words that gods are speaking like that's dope. Take in lion king. Mauvika is mufasa. Zazu is iansan and citlali is rafiki the baboon
