"The Song Burning in the Embers" Full Animated Short REACTION | Genshin Impact

[@ArchonKujo]

With the former Harbinger being Mother and now Arlecchino being the Father, that is just brilliant.

[@Doro44c]

I LOVED THAT

[@IshimurA99]

In some ways, it can be considered a good balance, I like that

[@Aman_Mondal]

Yeah the reason is to Arlecchino being a mother shows cruelty but comfortably and lovingly however her manner being a father means benevolence and care but in a strict and unfeeling manner as she said

[@pastaboi8351]

They are contrasting with each other previous harbinger was "gentle" like a mother yet cruel, Arlecchino is strict like a "father" yet caring. Its a nice detail maybe be thats why she picked it up rather than sticking up with "Mother"

8:23 The studio working on the Genshin anime has its own commitments. In order to maintain quality, they never make 2 anime series in 1 broadcast phase. the contract is finished/the story is finished then they release the new series. For now, they just have to finish the demon slayer story, which is estimated to have 1 season & 1 movie remaining. After the series ends, the Genshin anime can be released. Wait passionately and it will payed off🔥

[@misse2802]

I'm don't want to be this guy but a studio can work on different anime at the same time. That's why studio Mappa have been releasing so much stuff, the studio is divided in teams and each team works on a different serie.

I mean so far we know that she: - killed a noble pedo to save Lynette - put a lot of time and resources to stop the prophecy - didn’t kill Furina once she realized the “Archon” was actually powerless - helped Poisson during their crisis - trained the kids to be assassins, sure, but also to defend themselves I’m not saying she’s a cinnamon roll, but I wouldn’t call her cruel either - she’s pragmatic.

3rd third I guess Peak Arlecchino casually killing a Harbinger, the animation and music was very well made I am still waiting for the Ufotable anime to drop, but yeah Mihoyo is cooking with the godly design and animations her backstory seems pretty sad and also her origin probably is the same as Caterpillar who is a Cursed Khaenriah citizen who somehow is able to turn back into a human form and grow It gives me The Promised Neverland vibes This was animated by their Mihoyo anime division For those that didn't notice the children of the House were used as test subjects which is there was a needle and her friend had so many bandages

[@user-sq1oi9qp8w]

test for what?

[@Aman_Mondal]

@@user-sq1oi9qp8w remember the human body modifications that they do, all the fatui troops have very irregular bodies which means that the Fatui are doing experimentations on the children that they brought from other nations, you can find more details in the Genshin manga

[@henryko4994]

@@Aman_Mondal I think you're right but the twist might be that these experiments are done by Pierro to find out how to deal with or "study" the Khaenri'an curse for his own benefit. Might even be Arlecchino's own blood being used for the children in her batch. At this point I'm almost certain she's a lost Khaenri'an as there is no evidence of any other nation or people being affected by "hilichurlification", and the funny pupils are a dead giveaway (all of them have unique pupils so far).

maybe she's combining her vision usage with the curse?

[@joeymag593]

So many little nuggets of info in just one video! Arlecchino was disgusted by the actions of her "Mother" who acted nurturing but was cold and ruthless. Now, she continues the House of the Hearth as the "Father" who is seemingly cold and ruthless but who actually cares about the children. We also know that she is afflicted with a curse of some kind, which manifests by the blackness creeping over her hands and arms, much like Caterpillar.

[@Momochan144528]

I've been wondering why the music reminded me of something in this animation, especially this part 5:49 until the end. Then after listening to it multiple times, it reminds me of Sohyang's cover for You Raise Me Up for Immortal Song.

[@miguelruggiero]

That kick was an animated masterpiece

[@Justarandomgirl_666]

5:49 okay though but when I noticed after the kick when she refused mother’s offer to be “king”I noticed that she didn’t punch her hand up but her scythe had formed in her hand and she sliced it up at “mother” Doro if you didn’t noticed it then your welcome :D From a fellow player of 4.6-5.3

[@migolmigol4874]

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"

[@6XR-KRATOS]

Every Character in Genshin is full of Hope and Despair, Such a roller coaster ride of emotions. “Father, I’m in tears”

The fact that Scara wears his coat open at the end, with his legs (and arms, kinda) bare, because he is a puppet and does not feel cold, is such a small but neat detail.

0:45 That stitched up bat is Il Dottore, it’s using a stethoscope and is rather monstrous. Nahida described him as a monster in the Wanderer quest. Wouldn’t be surprised if the HoH was a major source of children for his experiments. This could also have implications about whether he has continued to tamper with the HoH children.

[@bindhujayakrishnan6190]

i feel like i understand now why Arlecchino goes by the"Father"

[@Mistyswirl]

i thought everyone was just calling her daddy cuz she's more hard-edged than a mommy, I didn't know she canonically calls herself Father 🤣

[@mapol8088]

​@@MistyswirlThere is a big reason behind it First is that she doesn't want to become a " Mother" as she think mothers are manipulative and cruel just like crucabena ( the previous knave ) Crucabena was kind and caring on the outside, not on the inside though. So she strived to be " Father " because she believes fathers are strict and strong but is straight with the children and honest with the children. That is why " she prefers to be called father, she doesn't want to become like the previous knave." In conclusion she is strict and unfeeling but actually love and cares for her children secretly. If you did the archon quest you know she does love her children because she prioritizes them learning how to survive than making themselves be in a dangerous situation.
