Genshin Impact 5.1: Trailer Analysis - Pyro Gnosis - Ororon

[@ShadowXImpact]

CORRECTIONS HERE! it's not Capitano's soul being restrained, it's the Traveler's. I was told in the comment section that it is explicitly said so in other languages, and in fact, in Japanese it says "Tabibito no tamashii", which means "the traveler's soul" Capitano's element seems to be Cryo and not Geo, even though his ice is extremely weird looking. The cutscenes between Mavuika and Capitano is called "Clash of Frost and Flame".

[@magnusgabriel1605]

The abyssal portal looks like the one from when we enter the All-Devouring Narwhal, it has the same color and the same 'cube stones' around it.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@magnusgabriel1605 let's say that just one Narwhal is more than enough XD

[@magnusgabriel1605]

@@ShadowXImpact right sksksks, but they do look similar

[@alter-naria]

mhm also in the cutscene before the narhwal was about to devour the fontanians, it charges up this cyan/black hole thing, which looks similar to the abyss thing in the sky in 5.1

[@mitab1]

Maybe the “debt” Nathan owes is to the shade of death, because mavuika said that the first pyro archon “Borrowed” the power to create the rules from Ranova who could be the shade of death, he wasn’t given that power, he borrowed it, which means he has to return it at some point, and it seems the deadline is near and that Natlan has to pay the debt of the first archon

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@mitab1 yes, although the shade of death is what I call the Shade of Fate. This could be like in Simulanka, so a power granted by a shade that eventually needs to be given back once they're ready to life as normal people, or Xbalanque straight up stole that power, and the Heavens now want it back. What's weird is that the deadline for giving that power back is the destruction of the nation by the abyss, unless it's a strange coincidence, but I doubt it

[@LotusRose745]

I honestly can’t wait for this quest 😊 I feel like it’s gonna be like genshin end game lol. Thank you for the video and information.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@LotusRose745 I'm really looking forward to the Archon quest, I hope we'll learn more about the Gnoses, what they are (apart from the 3rd descender), what power they have, what they can do, and maybe why they were created, considering it took both Celestia and the Primordial One to make them! And thank you for watching, I'm happy to have been of help! XD

Childe's foul legacy actually comes from training in the Abyss (Skirk), not from his Delusion.

[@MrsFoolforlove]

In his weekly domain he uses the vision first, then the delusion, then the foul legacy. What I don’t understand is if the third mode is fuelled by the delusion or if it’s a completely separate power source.

[@chester9787]

​@@MrsFoolforlove description of the Shard of a Foul Legacy obtained from Childe boss fight says: "It is stained with a profound color that is not of this world, no doubt due to the land of endless darkness that the young boy saw with his own two eyes. Perhaps it has nothing to do with the power of a Delusion, but as they say, the weapon reflects its user..." + Childe learned Foul Legacy from Skirk before joining Fatui so it's definitely a different source of power

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@teo-kk7zk then why would his clothes show a purple (electro) Fatui logo like the elite Fatui and also Arlecchino? The foul legacy form could be something he learned from Skirk (I mean, the Foul is her master and it's in the name of the form), but I still think the delusion has something to do with it, just like Arlecchino's second form, which could simply be something she can achieve with her blood, is still powered by the delusion, as her vision shows

[@teo-kk7zk]

@@ShadowXImpact About Skirk teaching Chulde foul legacy, Childe's namecard says: ,,Yet, his "Foul Legacy" was not originally his. Rather, it was taught to him by that solitary girl who dwelt in the darkest corners of the universe.". And about the symbol, maybe he is using his Delusion alongside his foul legacy form (as well as his vision, if that is the light blue thing near his right shoulder)? I am not sure about that, though (especially considering that foul legacy sounds powerful enough to make one not need Visions or Delusions).

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@teo-kk7zk I think it's quite simple, even though we don't really know how to exactly define the Foul Legacy nor a delusion. A person can only ever use one element. The extraordinary cases are so few, they are literally miracles. The traveler doesn't count, he's like a multi purpose walking vision and he doesn't belong to Teyvat, so he's above the rules. Kazuha is literally the only character to have achieved two elements without any weird means, and even then, it happened most likely because his ambition aligned with Tomo's, so the other Vision reawakened. In Childe's case, he is hydro and his delusion is electro, so even though he's using the Foul Legacy, to be able to use electro, it must still be his delusion at work, mixing up with the Foul Legacy, which I guess it's simply making him superhuman. Since the whole Fontaine thing revolved around Childe not having his vision and relying on his delusion and the Foul Legacy, just like they temporarily removed his vision from his model, they could have removed something from the Foul Legacy model, and yet the purple Fatui logo was still there, so it must mean that he was also using his delusion

[@FichaGris]

My little prediction, is that either in 5.3 or 5.1 (Unlikely(Also I don't mention 5.2 because in the 5.0 livestream it was the only version excluded from a Archon Quest) we will have the final fight between Capitano and Mavuika (Maybe to collect energy or something?), where at the end Mavuika will die, then all the people of Natlan will gather, sing the Ode of Resurrection, and Mavuika will revive, giving the gnosis to Capitano, who will take us to Snezhnaya and tell us about the Tsaritsa. My basis? Nothing really, is just that the concept the archon reviving due to all their people joining would feel like good storytelling lol

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@FichaGris well, I won't talk about 5.2 because we know there's no Archon quest and because I was forced into a leak, so I now know what's going to happen, but I think it will be even more dramatic, like Mavuika dying in 5.1 and coming back to life in 5.3 with the incandescent ode of resurrection. The idea of the people bringing her back through sheer belief power is actually something I'm exploring for another video, but I will say, I can get behind the idea pretty easily. As for Capitano, he's obviously not taking us to Snezhnaya in 5.3, because we still need to stay in Natlan until 5.8, and as I said in the video, I think we will ge tto keep the gnosis. Heck, Capitano may also decide to leave the Fatui altogether, which would be awesome

[@danaanna9281]

Capitano isn't geo, he's cryo. For the color, it could simply mean that he's been cursed. In the same way that Xiao has his anemo power tinged with karmic debt, Capitano could have suffered the same thing (that's why one of the theories I have about him is that he's the sage of the flame, because for me Xbalanque represents the Sun, so it's linked to the pyro power of the archons, and the sage represents the Moon, so it's linked to cryo power). It's impossible for Ororon to be the hero of Masters of the Night-Wind tribe. So far, every hero has the same element as his tribe. Mualani (hydro) -> Heros of the People of the Springs (hydro) Xilonen (geo) -> Heroes of the Children of Echoes (geo) Kinich (dendro) -> Heroes of the Scions of the Canopy (dendro) Iansan (electro) -> Heros of the Collective of Plenty (so if we follow the same logic, he's the electro hero) It wouldn't make sense for it to be different for Flower-Feather Clan or Masters of the Night-Wind. Especially in the case of the Masters of the Night-Wind clan, where Ororon uses a cryo technique to make Capitano disappear during his fight with Mavuika, and we know it's a clan-specific technique. Donc le clan est lié au pouvoir cryo Moreover, the devs have made it clear that there is no pyro tribe, since that role is held by the Archon. When you see the circle with the emblems of each tribe in the Archon quest, it's clear that the pyro element is in the middle and doesn't correspond to any tribe, since there is no emblem. For me, Chasca will be the hero of the Flower-Feather Clan and Citlali the hero of the Masters of the Night-Wind tribe. I think Ororon is like Kachina, he has an Ancient Name but he's not a hero. If you look closely at the trailer, you can see that he shines electro, but absolutely not like Kinich, Xilonen or Mualani. He's much more like Kachina (who's only a 4-star character, so in my opinion Ororon will also be 4-star). As for the famous soul becoming weaker and weaker, it's not Capitano's, but ours. In English it's hard to tell, but in Japanese it's clearly audible: you can hear tabi bito, which means traveler. I'd also recommend watching trailers in other languages, because sometimes the meaning is different from one language to another, or information is present but not necessarily in the English trailer.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@danaanna9281 I added in the corrections pinned post that Capitano is cryo according to the title of the video of the battle with Mavuika. It doesn't really make sense for capitano to be the Sage of the stolen flame, because we were told he's in Ochkanatlan with the second golden entreaty. Beside that, his black outline is basically a nightsoul's blessing, but it's white and black because it belongs to the night kingdom, as Capitano is dead, just like the devs clearly hinted at in the 5.0 livestream. It's not impossible for Ororon to be the hero, since we literally see him there with Sanhaj. The element of one's vision is actually not important, it's the will to save Natlan that has been passed down since at least the Scarlet Eyed Youth's time (but I think it originated back with Chaac and the birth of the Wayob). The will of the heroes is probably going to become Mavuika's power to defeat the Abyss. I don't understand, though, why everybody seems to be willing to ignore the elephant in the room, Ororon's appearance in that specific scene with the heroes of the present and of the past. Everybody is saying how he cannot be the hero, but at the same time no one is finding an excuse for his presence there, nor is anybody even admitting the fact that he is there. I don't think the Masters of the Night Wind to be Cryo anyway, I believe them to be Anemo, while the Flower Feather Clan is Pyro, and for multiple reasons: Ranjit picked a living Pyro FLOWER as a Saurian candidate; Ranjit told us that the color of the Saurians reflect their element, and the Qucusaurs are bright red; Ngobou, a Qucusaur, is Pyro, uses Pyro attacks and is infused with Pyro; It doesn't make sense for the land of Pyro to have Saurians of every single element but Pyro; just because Qucusaurs fly, it doesn't mean they're Anemo just as the Cincin are Electro or Cryo and they also fly, and similarly the Consecrated Vulture can fly but is Pyro. Plus, smoke isn't really Cryo, it's more Anemo, it's basically air/wind, and we also know that the Iktomisaurs have great power of flight, so we were already told what they can do before Natlan was even released. The devs didn't make it clear at all that there is no Pyro tribe. The emblems of each tribes banner never show any element at all, so according to your theory, no tribe would have an element to begin with, just because the Pyro Archon's banner is the only one who has it. Citlali knows the plan and is actively helping Mavuika, and yet the hero from her clan hasn't appeared yet, but no one considers this little detail. Plus, as I said before, Yupanqui was one of the heroes from the Scarlet Eyed Youth's story and bore the name Malipo. The Craftsman, who belonged to the Masters of the Night Wind, wore a hood that covered half of his face, and a golden tear dropped into one of his eyes, which allowed him to see things no one had ever seen before. Ororon has a hoof that covers half of his face, and one eye (specifically the one where the hood covers his head) is of a completely different color.... I highly doubt that he's going to be a 4 star, but there's no proof here, it's just me saying he's the hero and you saying it's not, so it's an impasse. Yes, I also added that into the corrections pinned post, in Japanese it says tabibito no tamashii.

[@isaiahhaley4816]

I think mavuika will die in 5.1 as a self sacrifice and then be resurrected in 5.3 with natlans finale archon quest idk how exactly it will go but considering natlans finale quest name is incandescent ode of resurrection it feels very possible mavuika will be possibly resurrected how exactly? Idk maybe by the chosen hero’s or capitano it really depends on where the story goes Honestly, honestly, I won’t lie to myself and say that the pyro gnosis doesn’t look like a rook but I still think it’s a possibility it’s the knight piece when it comes to the gnosis design we can’t exactly pinpoint which gnosis is which peice because they all look different but if we look at the slime theory which seems to be getting more canon every nation we can theorize that Hydro and pyro are both knight Dendro and electro are both bishops And geo and cryo are both rooks With anemo as the queen I don’t think any of the archons will be king but their was an interesting theory abt all of them being kings in their own respective nations and if you think about it, it makes sense the fact the top of the gnosis look to all have a type of crown like design in fact the dendro gnosis was actually leaked but I’m not going to tell you what it looks like cause I don’t wanna spoil you all I will say is that it also seems to look like a crown so Ike gonna go on a analyze on which gnosis is which To start off the reason I think cryo and geo are rook is because both those elements are associated with protection and having a barrier of some kind since the rook in chess looks like a castle or tower and zhongli being rook makes sense because hes sturdy when in comes to his morals not to mention earth is used to create such castle, towers and zhongli also has pillars in his kit plus both the geo and cryo slimes both have shields and their right next to each other in the loading screen of genshin not to mention their both solid elements we don’t know much abt the tsaritsa but considering she’s likley a bronya exp especially with childe referring to the tsaritsa as bronya in a beta voice line it even leans more to her gnosis being rook since bronya means armor and the cryo slime wears armor that being its sheild that it shares with the geo slime so that’s the reason I think geo and cryo are rooks Now the reason I think pyro and hydro are knights is because both water and fire are associated with fertility life and creation but they also have two sides of them with how they bring destruction and loss as well as death and folcalors and mavuika are the only archons so far to have died or is abt to die and the fact that both of their nations are in a crisis of extinction one being from heavens while the other is the abyss these align well of what a knight does not to mention knights are supposed to be a symbol of a nobility which both mavuika and folcalors share and the fact they’re the only two archons who’s hair constantly glows even when you’re not using their skill or burst Not to mention, they both wheeled swords with mavuika using specifically a Claymore and furina a rapier of some sort which was also used by knights in battle not to mention the ideals of justice and war kind of go well with the whole I’m a knight thing which them going to war for their kingdom and being just in some ways plus the pyro and hydro slimes are the only liquid based elements out of the seven and not just that the pyro hypostasis and hydro hypostasis are also liquid based as well with them taking unusual forms and both of them having a flow like manner which another thing that they have in common this is the reason I think pyro and hydro are the knights Now for dendro and and electro i’m going to try my best to butcher this explanation as much as I can since I’m kind of getting tired of typing😅 so to start off both of the slimes have a ohoge that no other slime shares (Also I forgot to mention that both the Hydro and slimes have horns so that’s another thing they have in common) both of their ohoge seems to resemble a type of antenna (I honestly have no other ways to describe it other then that) that both sprouts out their heads and if you look closely at the electro gnosis and remove the head peice of it you’ll see that it resembles a bishop with the circle thing at the top another thing is that bishops are the closest to the king or queen and ei’s ideal of eternity is that closest of the heavenly principles and nahida is the avatar of irminsul which holds all of the knowledge of the world that is very likely a creation of celestia both of their archons at least the og’s were very wise in some aspects and are the only two out of the seven at least so far that we or more specifically nahida and ei could talk to after their death because of their consciousness being preserved not to mention the fact they both needed their successors to do something that they were unable to do or were to late in doing that’s all I have so far with this one I don’t think I should go into Detail of ventis much but if I do he it is Ventis gnosis is queen because he is the most connected to celestia basically being a grandson to the primordial one having some influence overtime, not to mention him being the god of freedom and the queen being the most free chess peice in the game because he go wherever it wants so their that I honestly don’t think their might be a king but if their is I think celestia holds that gnosis

[@OmerIleli-ve3zj]

The thing is 5.1 trailer resembles metropolis (2nd part of simulanka) in simulanka. And mavuika says a nation without the wayob's protection is doomed to fall and in the trailer. in 4.8 simulanka some toy solider says a world without the goddes'es protection us doomed to fail it is the same thing but different context if we go from that 5.3 archon quest will most likely follow broken sea quest in simulanka aka saving a dragon or defeating one like in the 4.8 simulanka story Also the summer events kinda gives away the plot of the next nation so ir might be true

[@ShadowXImpact]

Mavuika talks about the Lord of the Night, not the Wayob, but yes, it's probably going to be similar. The "gift" that the people have, the ability to be resurrected, is going to be given back sooner or later, specifically when the people are ready to live like regular people. In Natlan's case, though, things are more complicated because the resurrection power is not just something the Lord of the Night (the Heavenly Envoy that created the Night Kingdom) gave the people, it's also the Sacred Flame Xbalanque took from the Dragon Sovereign, so taking Simulanka as an example, is a mix of Barbeloth's story and Cappte's story of how Constellation Metropole won against the ancient dragon and stole his treasure. Now, the chances that Mini-Durin is also part of the "spoilers" for the next nation, I think are minimal. Those were intended to tell us about the future quest that is going to happen on Dragonspine, so I'm not too sure the Ancient Dragon will come back in Natlan, also because he was completely corrupted by the Abyss and Apep also told us that some Dragons decided not to come back to life, so it can't just be the one that was missing in Inazuma, because she was talking about more than one Dragon. The easiest answer (which can also be wrong because it's the easiest one), is that Mavuika will give back that gift, the Night Kingdom will cease to exist because, maybe, the Leylines got fixed after so many millennia, but no one knew because, just like in Simulanka, being able to come back to life is convenient compared to definitely dying the first time. Mavuika will probably die in 5.1 and stay dead until 5.3 when something will happen that will bring her back to life with the "incandescent ode of resurrection", but at the same time, Natlan will also become a normal nation just like the others. In all of this, we also have nothing about the Celestial Nail that has been strangely ignored by the Traveler, although he could clearly see in there hanging in the sky....

[@rexlapis1075]

It’s stated during a interview by Cheng Bo mihoyo lead voice director, he said that he won’t reveal capitano true element, he said it’s purple lined and in a Q&A I believe extremely recently the dev stated capitano identity won’t be revealed in Natlan as it would cause world building issues, and if he releases it would around dainslief release. This basically means he’s one of the endgame characters, this basically confirms the power we saw from capitano so far is no where near his full might. Capitano being tenoch is close to zero if not zero, as he is an endgame character. A extremely popular theory right now due to the Q&A, people theorize him to be Racher of solnari one of the 5 sinners.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@rexlapis1075 I've been meaning to ask, because interviews like these sometimes pop up in the comments, where do you find them? I tried looking for Cheng Bo's interview but I was met by a barrage of KZbin videos but no interview at all. Still, isn't Capitano's power black and white lined? And isn't it defined as Cryo, since the video of the battle between Mavuika and Capitano is called "Clash (was it clash?) of frost and flame"? As for him being Rächer of Solnari, you would think a sinner, a person with godlike powers capable of destroying the world if he wanted to, not to work under anyone... It would confirm my theory that the Fatui and the Abyss Order may be working together, but it would still feel weird for him to be a Harbinger who takes order from Pierro..... I guess we'll see, I mean, it's either 5.1 or 5.3

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@BlueDaisy33 while my hopes for him when down tremendously because he's a bow user.... At least, his story seems to be interesting, if I got it right! As for 5.2, no, it's going to be new map, so flower feather clan and masters of the night wind, Ochkanatlan, so we can get the second entreaty, and then, I guess, in 5.3 we will get the collective of plenty, so the volcano of tollan to complete the Lil' Buddy story, and the ending for the Archon quest. Dragonspine, I think, it's going to be 5.8, the summer event that this time would be on a snowy mountain (people do go to the mountain in summer, I have done it many times), also because there's nothing better than dragonspine to hint at Snezhnaya in the following update

[@byakumaruZ]

Awesome!! Your video is the first thing I watched when I came home XD I do, however, have my own theories regarding the Gnoses in relation to their chess pieces. Some of the reasoning will be a little weak but I still think it's worth talking about. I personally imagine that both Geo and Cryo Gnoses are going to be depicted as rook pieces. The first and most obvious example is how both Geo and Cryo slimes are the only two slimes that have a shield. This reason will tie into another reason that talks about chess theory (disclaimer: not a chess expert XD). In chess, Rooks are the only pieces capable of performing a move alongside the king called "castling" which helps hide the king in a safe corner where it can be more securely guarded. This is a DEFENSIVE move (ahem shielder slimes). Not only that, castling is also what helps to bring out the potential of BOTH rooks on either side because it helps the two rooks gain line-of-sight of each other. This allows both rooks to have each other's backs in case either one is captured. In the end-game when most other pieces are gone from the board, having two rooks at the same time is a strong advantage, and it gives the opportunity to checkmate the opponent's King using a strategy called the Ladder Checkmate. Remember Zhongli's contract with the Tsaritsa? They made a deal with each other and we still don't know what it is. Maybe there's more to Zhongli's relationship with the Tsaritsa than we think. A LOT more... :) Bishop pieces are a special one, and this is where my thoughts start to differ from many existing theories. I think the Electro and Dendro gnoses are meant to be the bishops. Many have already proposed the Electro gnosis to be the bishop based on its appearance. It lacks a "crown-like" top and instead has a design similar to a Kabuto. The rounded head of the gnosis can also be resembling the "mitre" of the bishop piece. As for Dendro, we never actually saw it in-game so how am I so sure that it's also a bishop? Well to that I say it's BECAUSE we didn't see it that made me think the Dendro gnosis is also a bishop. In chess, each player is given two bishop pieces. One is a dark-square bishop and one is a light-square. Since bishops travel diagonally, dark-square bishops will never be able to land on a white-square and vice versa. This means that two of your bishops are unable to land on the same squares. Both of your bishops have completely separate territories. Now, why, despite Nahida having both Electro AND Dendro gnoses in her hand, are we ever only shown the Electro gnosis throughout the entire Sumeru Archon Quest? I believe this was intentional on the writers' part, that the Dendro and Electro gnoses NEVER appear on screen together, just like the two bishops can never share common squares. Here's another interesting tidbit. In chess, bishop pieces, when working with the Queen piece, can surprise unsuspecting opponents with an early checkmate pattern called the "Scholar's checkmate".... SCHOLARS.... Sumeru...... That leaves Hydro and Pyro. By process of elimination, they certainly have to be knight pieces right? Well... Here's where the reasoning starts to get a LOT weaker. Okay, so the appearance of the Pyro gnosis in the trailer. The first thing I noticed about it is that, it's the first ever gnosis we see that lacks any front-back symmetry. In chess, most pieces are spun on a lathe to get their shape, before details are added later. Which piece is the only chess piece on the board that can't be carved on a lathe? That's right, the knight. Knights have to be hand-carved because their design is so lop-sided and have to resemble a horse's head. I also wanted to comment on Mavuika's biker suit design and how she has to be riding something as part of her kit, and well... HORSES, but that's a bit too far-fetched even for me. Of course, all this doesn't preclude the possibility of the Pyro gnosis (or any of the other gnoses) from being the king piece or me from being completely wrong. I cooked up this theory at first from watching an early "gnosticism" theory that says Anemo is the unpaired element, so the "King gnosis" should be the abyss element (?).... Maybe I'll carry this theory further once we reach the end of the Natlan Archon Quest? :) This is as far as I'm taking it in one comment XD Thanks for the video, and thanks for reading

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@byakumaruZ I see where you're coming from, but I am unable to reply to the comment, otherwise I would be writing down the script for the new chessboard video XD I can say, though, that I agree with dendro and Electro being bishops, but the explanation is simpler: the bishop is a man of church, and both Nahida and the Shogun seem more interested in protecting a metaphysical concept, eternity (which is the closest thing to the heavenly principles) and wisdom. As for why we haven't seen the Dendro gnosis, Nahida didn't really need to take it out to use it, so she just kept it inside of her, I guess. As for the King piece, remember that there are only seven gnoses, one per element and Archon, so the Abyss, Celestia or Khaenri'ah wouldn't have one. The King might be easier than we expect (if we consider the Pyro one as a Rook as I proposed), but again, it belongs to the new video

[@JohnCivor]

I dont think it's ororon that represents the night wind we know mavuika need all the hero in the tribe represent their elements as well and if ororon is one that represent then we have 2 electo user in the team Iansan and him and no cryo.. thats why its highly likely that citlali is the one who to be pick and not ororon.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@JohnCivor apart from the fact that the Masters of the Night-Wind are most likely not Cryo but Anemo, despite what the wiki says (but then again, it also says that the Flower Feather Clan is Anemo while it's clearly Pyro), the solution may be very simple: the element of one's vision simply doesn't matter for Mavuika's plan. Just because she needs 6 heroes from six tribes that take after an element, it doesn't really mean that they have to own the corresponding element in their vision. So, I don't really understand not accepting or not believing Ororon to be the hero, especially after we literally see his hood in the trailer...

Capitano's power have been confirmed to be ice in the official medias. The title of the video on the channel is "clash of frost and flame". For Mavuika's death "clearing the debt." It may be way more simple than what we thought. Short answer, she's gonna do the same thing as Focalors and die to release the Pyro authority (which is not the gnosis) and give it to Capitano. If he as indeed dragon's ascendancy, that would make sense. As for the energy problems, it's Mavuika we are talking about. Focalors was smart but we don't know if she was powerful. so Mavuika may not need to gather energy like focalors did. And of course Mavuika will come back bc it's genshin but since there is no authority left she will be somehow weaker? And may receive a Vision like furina did. Ps: for the capitano part it's only presuming he has any link to dragons, which I don't believe myself, but that for the sake of my idea

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@hirods9889 what kind of weird looking ice is that even??? Well, here goes Geo out of the window. I thought about it the Focalors thing, but it would be soooooo repetitive! As for Capitano, I don't think he's a dragon... I mean, Neuvillette was obvious, he was foretold to be human, but another one? That would literally be Fontaine 5.9.... The problem is that, even though Mavuika is strong, she's still human, compared to Focalors that at least was an Oceanid. Maybe just smart, but if a superior being needs that much power, Mavuika would need to be a walking nuke to do the same. Again, I doubt they'd repeat the exact same Fontaine Archon Quest. Maybe a slightly similar one would be feasible, like Mavuika literally taking the power out of the gnosis and using it, instead of using the gnosis as a tool? At least we would learn something more about these gnoses...

[@hirods9889]

@@ShadowXImpact That one maybe a bit confusing so I hope you can follow to the end xD I agree with you it would be repetitive if it was Fontaine again. It's more of an idea than a full fledged theory. Even if Mavuika is human she shows powers way above human abilities. And with Avria I believe it's her name. Well the goddess of salt we know that being a god doesn't make you strong. So there is that. My other idea for capitano's role and weird ass ice. (BC I'm really not a fan of the dragon theory. That would be Neuvillette 2.0). First point I don't know if you know Naruto so I'll make it short. So Minato, Naruto dad. When using Kcm he have a little black smoke surrounding him, over the orange cloak. That reminds me of capitano's ice. And what the link with genshin well in that state Minato was litteraly a reincarnated soul. And with the line "his soul is temporarily restrained by us" I think it's not too farfetched 2nd point A line from a literal dead. Which was a teaser for the world of the dead in another game. "To bring another dead world back to life, sacrifice another self" Yeah I know cryptic but.. Yeah all of it that to say that I'm implying that capitano maybe dead. If the nightsoul blessing of living is rainbow symbolising life. Why the one of the deads couldn't be black ? Symbolising death. Full circle, "the rainbow destined to burn"

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@hirods9889 but it would be Fontaine again, if that theory ended up being right. The only difference is not gathering people's belief, and we still have contending fire, so technically, even that would be the same... Yes, Havria wasn't powerful, so being a God doesn't mean being omnipotent, but still, Mavuika would need and obscene amount of power to destroy a divine seat, while still being human... So... How should I say this... I have watched Naruto (specifically Shippuuden) so many times, you could easily say that it's my favorite anime of all time, and Minato is one of my favorite characters XD The thing is that, we already know, from the 5.0 livestream, that Capitano is dead and that he's trying to resurrect himself. Aquaria basically told us, when he said he would never be able to get a heatstroke in Natlan for "certain reasons", and that he's in Natlan because of what the concept of War means, so the rules and resurrection. In the 5.0 livestream analysis, I also said that the black outline, the black nightsoul blessing, was something that he has because of the night kingdom. That's why I'm basically sure it's Tenoch, the only one who couldn't be resurrected, but also the only one who promised Mavuika he would find a way to make her pay, if she didn't keep her promise, and it seems he managed to find a way, he most likely resisted the Night Kingdom, he didn't get washed away as a normal soul would, and somehow (courtesy of the Fatui probably), he was able to stabilize his body for at least the 500 years he needed, to make sure about Mavuika's plan, or he made a deal with the Lord of the Night that allowed him these 500 years (hence, he's running out of time), so that, if Mavuika couldn't save Natlan, he would.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@ShadowXImpact oh, that interesting, actually I did think of that possibility. And while it changes things a little, and since ancient names are bound to souls so it's not that strange. Though it doesn't mean everything we thought before is invalidated. However I'm not sure that Capitano is tenoch. I honestly have no idea of who he might be. But about the resurrection thing. Egeria tried to create humans and was only able to create simili humans. So, does Mavuika really resurrect people? Or is it more like an exchange? "The truth that Mavuika will never willingly share" Did she sacrifice the whole 7th tribes to use their souls as "saves"? And when someone die they are not really resurrected but one of the sacrificed souls is lost in their place? Yeah that the same principle of the philosopher stone from Fullmetal Alchemist

[@gyannunez]

Spotting Burkina was a really good catch! I was also of the opinion that the hero from Mictlan would be Ororon and not Citlali, if for no other reason that it would better balance out the ratio of male to female characters. It does seem like, without Ifa here, that he might not be the hero from his clan, assuming all 6 heroes are present in that scene. If not and it’s only a portion of them then he could still make it in 4.3. If all 6 heroes are present, then I guess it would have to be Chasca or maybe even Chuychu. After the Sethos incident, I can’t argue that weapons in cutscenes for sure translate to weapons in gameplay. It probably will be his weapon but now I don’t feel confident saying anything definite. I thought about the silver color being from some external influence, but I hadn’t considered the Delusion. I guess when we get to Snezhnaya we may get to see golden versions of the Vision if that’s really the case. I wonder if the Dull Blade might’ve actually been broken. I thought it was a little strange that the Traveler has mentioned it by name twice in the recent past: once in Cyno’s second story quest and once in their new Natlan voice lines. I’m also kinda stuck between King and Rook for the Pyro Gnosis. I think it might be a King for the same reasons you mentioned, but it does kinda have a blocky look that leans towards Rook. I do think there is a chance that we’ll keep the Pyro Gnosis personally, and that the rest of the main story of 5.X will segue into the potential upcoming war with Snezhnaya and/or Celestia, probably tying back into that war game event we had in 4.7.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@gyannunez yeah, watching the trailer frame by frame really helps catching things! Well, as I said in the other video, if Hoyoverse cared about balance, then Ifa would have been the hero, but it's Hoyoverse we're talking about, so I'm not even surprised. I mean, they brought the extra bounce from ZZZ for Xilonen, and it doesn't look like we're getting many male characters in Natlan in general, I wouldn't be surprised if Kinich, Ororon and Ifa were the only three... Welcome to 2024, when excluding men is the right thing to do! Though, I gotta say, Chuychu being the hero would actually be a nice surprise. Mavuika did make her leave before talking about the plan.... I don't remember the Sethos incident... He used a polearm during the trial? I honestly don't remember. That being said, considering the ugly bow they gave Ororon, I think it's pretty safe to say he's a bow user... I'm... So... Happy.......... Honestly, I think the vision/delusion theory makes perfect sense, I feel pretty confident about it. It would be nice to see a gold Snezhnayan vision before we got there, just to confirm the theory, but we only even meet Snezhnayan Fatui or criminals, it seems... Vacher.... OK, about the sword, I was just told and then I checked myself, that when Ororon talks about "his soul" being restricted, it's the Traveler's. In Japanese, he says "Tabibito no tamashii" so the traveler's soul, meaning that something bad might happen to the traveler, reason why the ugly sword might end up being destroyed. We might even get a different pov like in Star Rail while the traveler is KO? I'm working on the chessboard video, because there's also another reason why it might be a Rook, although it barely fits, like BARELY, and that same reason also tells us what the Hydro and cryo gnoses are. I do have to go over everything we know about the Gnoses because, although I have a good memory, it's not THAT good. After I'm done, I'll start working on the video, but it will be ready after 5.1 comes out for sure. We need to keep one, it's our turn to win for once! I'm still bothered by the short in which Celestia is unreasonably low behind the traveler, so I think we will finally go there, and if I'm right about when Xbalanque ascended, so way before the Archon War, before the Nails came down, then Celestia MIGHT be the Ineffable City, ans what's funny is that the wiki redirects the ineffable city to Celestia, without realizing that admitting that, means that Xbalanque didn't become the Archon during the Archon War!

[@gyannunez]

@@ShadowXImpact Carrying around the Pyro Gnosis in our invisible backpack would be really funny… I would really like if 5.X was the Version of “filling things out” before Snezhnaya. Going to Celestia or even some other places would be really nice. Aside from the rest of Natlan, we still have Dormman Port and Mont Esus to go to. Since we’re not getting new areas in 5.1, I wouldn’t mind doubling down on the exploration this year. Maybe the new rewards for exploration are hinting at more exploration overall in the year to come. Although, 5.0 Natlan did feel much easier to explore than most areas do, especially X.0 areas. 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 felt like they had so many more secrets to uncover in the open world and world quests.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@gyannunez I would love to have the Gnosis! And yeah, hopefully Natlan will give us the answers we need to face Snezhnaya with everything in place and just a few secrets left, hence we have to go to Celestia, it's more than about time we check that island out! I think Mount Esus might end up coming out during an hypothetical second Fontanalia Film Festival, Port Dornman could be Dainsleif's new quest, considering that's where the statue of the seven was stolen, but we also need to know what that single house near the jade chamber is, which might be Barbeloth's, so maybe Lantern Rite? I kinda don't think Natlan has been easier to explore. Yesterday I found a new hidden underground place I've never seen before, and I've explored almost everything there is in Natlan. It even had two Pyroculi and I'm still missing 6 of them... I even found for the first time, where Xilonen's Workshop might be, and I have never seen that note before

i honestly might also just pull for most of the natlan charcaters, at the very least xilonen and citlali, i missed mualani and i wouldve had enough for the former characters had i not lost my 50/50 to qiqi, spending more of my primos on trying to get kinich. can say the investment was worth it at least. i will say, i hadnt really given much thought to why Snezhnayan visions were silver, given the scale of the tsaritsa's plan it'd make sense that vision holders would make up a bulk of the fatui. i suppose i had just assumed that delusions came in a variety of forms but were streamlined into something resembling a vision. though thats basically head canon. as far as theories go, i dont really have any but i would like to bring a theory i heard to your attention. i saw some people trying to grapple with how natlan can have human archons and yet Furina being human is such a big deal in world. while its possible that the importance of this lies in her pretending to be a god while the pyro archon is just explicitly a person, someone suggested that natlans lack of leylines causes discrepancies and disconnects in the memories of visitors. i dont know how well that holds up to scrutiny but is a fun theory at least. an observation id also like to mention is while natlan is stated to have no gods, i think that might just be an in world misconception. natlan has no gods holding the position of archon, but they have "gods" the wayobs and the role they fill greatly resemble ancestral worship, and even then the lord of the night is god last i checked, seemingly worshiped or revered if Kinich's lines are anything to go off of and the archon derives their power from the lord, as well as the wayobs and their existance. i suppose what differentiates them from the gods of other nations is simply the position of archon, a position which seems to matter far more than simply being a god, that and the lord of the night feels more abstract and absent than other gods atm. Im pretty sure everyone and their mother is aware of the lord, but i havent seen many people discuss them in that context so i figured id mention it. so far natlans been an interesting experience, somewhat soured by the eng va strike, i hope that ends well in their favor but im definitely going exploring as soon as 5.1 drops

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@nero0168 I think Maulani is going to come back soon, so you'll have another chance at getting her! The thing is that each character has an exploration mechanics, and I love reaching places I'm not supposed to reach, hence I'm all for these exploration aids, so pulling for every Natlan character simply helps me do what I like to do XD As for Fontaine, Furina is technically not a human originally. Up until Focalors died, she was still an Oceanid who also received divinity, but differently from the other Archons, she split her divinity from her "human" persona, but both aspects were still the same person even if split. Furina became a normal human just like anybody else only after she wasn't an Archon anymore, so technically, she's never been a human Archon. That's why an actual human being an Archon like in Natlan, is huge news. Mavuika said it clearly, in Natlan there are no gods, there are no beings with higher powers in general, so it's not just there jot being Archons who are also gods. I also don't really understand the leyline thing you mentioned. Apart from the traveler who's not connected to them, a foreigner might have some problem in Natlan, but we should also remember that Natlan is not completely devoid of leylines, it still has some, but they're too weak to work for the entire nation. As for the Wayob, they are not gods, they are a collective consciousness, most likely the amalgamation of the consciousnesses of Chaac and his companions, because after he reconnected Natlan to the Night Kingdom on the day he died, the wayob came to life. The Lord of the Night, on the other hand, is most likely a Heavenly Envoy, so it's slightly beyond the concept of a God, and technically, it's not in Natlan, it's in the Night Kingdom, and it doesn't really act like a God, it just created and manages the Night Kingdom alone. As for the Archon's powers, I think it comes more from the dragon sovereign rather than the lord of the night, apart from the ability to be resurrected

@@blackwind2992 which World Quest are you referring to? Because as far as we can tell, although very weird, it almost seems like the winners of the pilgrimage don't go to the Night Kingdom to fight, reason why Iansan, who just got back from the Night Warden War, was shocked to see the Night Kingdom for the first time. It still remains unknown where they're usually sent to, though, considering they need a whole tournament to pick a few people to fight, and the abyss doesn't really appear in specific places where the warriors can be regularly sent to, the abyss can just appear out of nowhere wherever it wants, whenever it wants, like in the People of the Springs....

It could be that Iansan haven't been to that part of the Night kingdom because they usually dont go that deep? And Mavuika ripped apart the ceiling but nothing changed on the ground, so maybe Night kingdom is not a physical place, or it exist in a different dimension.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@blackwind2992 so the thing is that usually people don't have a physical way in to the night kingdom, they send their consciousness, and to physically go there, we had to use a rift the abyss created, otherwise there wouldn't have been a way inside at all. That being said, apart from the fact that the idea that people get a new body for their souls to inhabit if they die during the Night Warden Wars is actually interesting and it would support the concept of losing something in the resurrection, the fact that the traveler disappeared in the temple and ended up in the Night Kingdom, is weird enough on its own. Now, unless the traveler is not an actual physical being but a "solidified" consciousness (which could explain why we can also I dwell the Saurians taking over their bodies), I don't think that's what should have happened if anyone else interacted with that ancient treasure. The Night Kingdom is, and I'm pretty sure of it, a world in another dimension, created by a heavenly Envoy with the remains of an Irminsul Tree, it's not supposed to be a physical place where you can enter, but it is possible to do so. Mavuika destroying everything but nothing at the same time, can probably be answered with what Chasca said, in that realm, nothing works the way it's supposed to work in reality, so common sense is pointless there, it's just a place made out of memories, something like the inner part of Irminsul

I think it is pretty obvious that Capitano is Mauvika's dad. He is seen in the photos, he didn't support her plan from the very beginning, and actually wvery pyro character in the game has a conflict or complex relationship with a father figure so Mauvika shouldn't be different. Plus her mother and sister were seen ingame while her dad hasn't. It also fits the two main themes of Natlan - Inheritance (ancient names and deeds, but also a father passing on legacy to a daughter/son just like all pyro characters) and sacrifice (death being at the center of Mauvika's plan and the game puting effort in showing her great sacrifice while departing from her family and unsupportive father). Tenoch is just not important enough to be Capitano and his theme was uniting the tribes which obviously isn't what capitano is going for...

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@mizrahiomr I've heard about this thing that Pyro characters always has a complex relationship with their fathers, but it's actually not true. Yoimiya doesn't have any issue with her father, unless you want to stretch it so far as to say it's a difficult relationship because he can't hear her when she speaks, Arlecchino doesn't even have parents and her issue was with a mother figure rather than a father, Klee's father is barely mentioned, Lyney was abandoned and there's the whole Arlecchino/Father thing so I wouldn't know if it can even be considered, Amber doesn't have problems with her (completely unknown) father but she has something with her grandfather, just like Hu Tao's story is also about her grandfather but I would call it a complex relationship, he simply died of old age, Bennet has a great relationship with all his dads, Xiangling goes along extremely well with her father, Xinyan has issues with her entire family, and Yanfei made a contract with her father, promising to do what she wants to do and be happy, so there's no problem whatsoever there. In the end, few Pyro characters have issues with their fathers, and many other characters that wield other elements have issues with theirs, like Jean and Barbara for example, so I'd safely say that father issues are not characteristic of Pyro users. That being said, I don't really think Mavuika's father would be so against her decision 500 years ago, that he somehow became a weird being, achieved long life, lived for 500 years, joined the Fatui and came back to literally defeat his own daughter with force, and take over Natlan. Apart from him not showing himself before she entered the Flame, we have literally nothing about him, so it would sound weird if Capitano ended up being her father. On the other hand, Tenoch's goal wasn't uniting the tribes, he didn't even want to help Mavuika, he just wanted to save Natlan no matter what, and as a consequence, he created that team. He made an oath with Mavuika 500 years ago, so that if she wasn't able to save Natlan, he would have found a way to come back and make her pay, and that does seem what Capitano is doing. Not only did he speak of the oath made 500 years ago that hasn't been fulfilled, he basically said that Mavuika is at an impasse, she wasn't able to save Natlan, so now it's time for him to do it...

yeah Citlali doesn't look like much of a warrior so she'll be a 4 star and Ororon a 5 star from what we understand and so far Chasca is the only character in her tribe so that's the only option so Chasca, Ororon and Iansan huh? Maybe Iansan will be released alongside Mavuika since she's basically her right hand

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@Keiki-kun I was hoping for Ifa to be the Flower Feather Clan hero... We're getting two bow heroes basically.... To be honest, I thought Chasca was going to be 4 star and Citlali 5 star!

@@ShadowXImpact Don't lose hope yet Chasca and Ororon could end up being normal atk spammers like Yoimiya or supports like Yelan I also don't like Ganyu, Tighnari and Lyney gameplay, I understand you honestly Ifa seems to be in the same case as Emilie from the looks of it

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@Keiki-kun no, the problem is that I don't use bow users at all XD I've only ever slightly built Sara, but not that much even. I love using bows in other games, like Assassin's Creed I'm a sniper with a bow, but not in Genshin Impact. As for Ifa, yeah, I guess he's coming out in 5.8.... The only other man named, and he's not appearing for a whole year. I wonder if we're getting any male character apart from the three we know so far, because that seems the direction Natlan is going toward. They even borrowed the "extreme bounce" animation from ZZZ....

[@weddingjay04]

I don't think Ororon is one of the Chosen 6. If we go back to the Ignition trailer, Mualani and Kachina have the "Ball" which indicates an invitation to the Chosen Heroes of Natlan, First catching the Ball is Kinich (Malipo) then he threw it to where Citlali sitting but she didn't catch it rather she picked it up then throw the ball outside where Xilonen catches it, she then throw it and the ball landing on Iansan's head then bounces into where Chasca is and also catched it. Now all the confirmed Chosen hero in this time is Kinich, Xilonen, and Iansan but there's also a mini throw back of those who have the ball in their hands which is for me is the Chosen Heroes. Ororon is in the Ignition trailer but he is not invited by Mavuika to participate in the "Champion's Battle" plus most of the Chosen Heroes are 5* which is Mualani, Kinich and Xilonen. Chasca and Citlali is said to be 5* as well and Iansan's rarity is not yet confirmed.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@weddingjay04 and yet, mualani doesn't even touch the ball.... Still, the whole concept of not believing Ororon is the hero doesn't really make sense, since we literally see him with the hero from 500 years ago in the trailer. Plus, he is the exact copy of the craftsman from the Scarlet-Eyed Youth story, just like Xilonen is all about forged objects, and Sakkuk spent her whole like looking for who forged her father's feather accessory and then spent what was left of her life to gather every jewelry the craftsman forged. The same goes for Kinich, who has the name Malipo just like Yupanqui from that same story. And then there's the fact that Citlali apparently knows about Mavuika's plan, she's helping her with it, but the hero from her tribe has not been found yet, so it's not her

[@weddingjay04]

@@ShadowXImpact Mualani didn't touch the Ball but she is invited in the "Champion's Battle". Looking exactly the Hero doesnt also mean that he's actually the one who will fit that certain Hero, in Xilonen's case maybe it just coincidence that she look like that. Again focus on the mini throw back on the Ignition Trailer most of all those held the ball are all chosen hero of Natlan and Ororon is not included in there and he isnt even invited by Mavuika to participate in "Champion's Battle".

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@weddingjay04 and according your theory, just as Ororon wasn't invited so he's not the hero, Kachina was invited and should, as a consequence, be a hero, and yet thara not how thing are. I think you're mistaking taking part in the pilgrimage with being a hero. Those are two different things, because the fact that a person ends up being a hero is decided by the Wayob way before, the Wayob gives them the correct Ancient Name, which in turn or as a consequence also allows them to participate in the Pilgrimage, but they don't really have to. We saw Citlali in Ignition, but she apparently didn't participate in the tournament, she was nowhere to be seen throughout 5.0. Even Kinich and Xilonen didn't win the Pilgrimage despite them being heros. And, again, we literally see Ororon's hood in the 5.1 trailer with a hero of the past next to him, just like we see Kinich and Burkina....

[@weddingjay04]

@@ShadowXImpact this battle is not the Pilgrimage, its the Chosen 6 Battle together with the Pyro Archon that's why i called it the "Champion's Battle". Kachina is there to start inviting those Heroes by throwing the ball to them and again Mualani is invited. And also shown in the Mini throw back in the ignition trailer are those who are invited by the Pyro Archon. I suggest maybe try to rewatch the ignition trailer rather than pushing this "idea" that Ororon is one of the 6 heroes plus it weird that a supposed 4* character is one of the chosen 6 together with the 5* heroes.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@weddingjay04 oh so seeing Ororon with his old counterpart in the stadium surrounding Mavuika, is pushing my "idea" that he's the hero, but you literally forcing the idea that Citlali must be the hero because she received a ball, is the right thing to do. And the internet strikes again. I mean, if you want to keep your theory despite the evidence (that you are conveniently omitting), so be it, but at the very least, show some semblance of respect and manners for those who analyze the videos in detail, watching them frame by frame to create an analysis video that is impartial (pure unbiased information) but also rich in theories, just like I did with Ignition and with everything this game has released since I started playing the game

[@jondonom]

Its from another lore youtuber but it would be awesome if capitano is the bloodstain knight with tenoch's ancient name.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@jondonom he's still a pretty big unknown. I'm fairly certain Tenoch is somewhere in there, because he knows of the oath made 500 years ago. As for the other inhabitant, I've been obsessed with Menogias for so long, I just hope it's him XD

[@lathamtk]

@@ShadowXImpact I personally think Tenoch was stripped of his Ancient Name by his tribe before he gathered the 6 heroes who went to fight the abyss in Mare Javari, and now Capitano is borrowing Tenoch's ancient name either from the Tribe, or he's channeling it through a medium, like the obsidian feather we crafted to find Kachina. As to who Capitano is? IDK... maybe just an outlander, but not a descender (kinda like Alice is), or maybe he is the Captain of the Schwanenritter Knights who died fighting back the Abyss? I don't think he is the 3rd descender, nor Menogias and him just being Tenoch... is too much of a straight ball for Hoyo to throw. They love to keep us guessing, to throw us curve balls, smoke & mirrors and not the obvious answer.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@lathamtk we were told by Mavuika that he lost his ancient name a long time before the cataclysm, so, out of logic, it should have been when he was exiled, which seems reason enough. The thing about Capitano is that he's been around for a long time, he was probably one among the first people Pierro found, so he should be 500 years old. Now, I don't think he's just an outlander, it would be lame. It's not the 3rd descender because he died and his body was transformed into the gnoses. I think Menogias is still a viable option because things seem to line up way too much, and the last time I kept finding alternative options, was when Neuvillette was obviously the Dragon Sovereign and I kept sharing other possibilities (until a rude guy wrote in the following video that I wasn't credible anymore because I didn't see that Neuvillette was the sovereign). 500 years old, looks like him, same hairstyle, same clothes with same accessories, uses geo, the last lantern rite was about Menogias and everybody kept saying what the world would have been if he were still alive, and that was extremely sus, they came out with those sentences out of nowhere, even when they didn't even make sense... I guess we'll find out soon!

[@captaindanger13]

@@ShadowXImpact i feel like knowing the oath is probably not a good enough indicator of capitano having ties to natlan cuz the fatui are really good at gathering info to the point where they know teyvat's skies are fake.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@captaindanger13 yes, but as Mavuika said, the Harbingers act on their own personal interests and come together only to gather the gnoses. Taking Mavuika's gnosis is his duty, but he's talking about the oath and using it as a means to rule over Natlan, changing the rules, saving the nation and humanity. That's a little beyond just using information previously gathered, and it's way beyond just gathering the gnosis for the Tsaritsa

[@ArchibaldVonSkip]

I believe that Capitano is Hunahpu, Xbalanque's twin in the Mayan legend. They, together, destroyed Xibalba, the land of the dead, the night kingdom. They then became the moon and the sun. Any thoughts on that? :3

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@ArchibaldVonSkip the problem is that, if that was the case, they would have at the very least given us some sort of hint about this character existing. We realistically know little no nothing about Capitano, so it's really hard to figure him out. I'm fairly certain Tenoch is in there somewhere though

I dont like the idea that 2 chosen heroes have the same element. Iansan and ororon are both electro.

[@ShadowXImpact]

[@amouramarie]

Huhhhhh.... waitaminute. If Mavuika gets Xilonen to forge an Ancient Name for the Traveler, and that connects the Traveler to the Night Kingdom, which is basically the leylines of Natlan -- and the leylines are connected to Irminsul, which the Traveler is NOT RECORDED in - would that record the Traveler in Irminsul? Like our Abyss twin is? Could being given an Ancient Name be WHY our twin is recorded as belonging to Teyvat and we aren't? Not being part of Teyvat is part of why we are a Descender with the power to change the world. If Mavuika's plan connects us to Irminsul, wouldn't that remove our powers as a Descender? _Is that Mavuika's plan?_ We are assuming Mavuika is on our side, but why are we even assuming that? Yes, she's a caring mother figure to her Natlan children - which could be why she would want to destroy our power to reshape the entire world - she doesn't know what we would do and how that would affect her people. Perhaps she's just eliminating the threat we could pose, without actually wanting to hurt us. Maybe that's the secret she would never tell us that Capitano says would make us consider joining him.

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@amouramarie I did think about it, but I guess the Night Kingdom is not connected to Irminsul nor to the leylines, otherwise the people of Natlan would be able to leave the nation without any problem. The night kingdom is an alternative, a replacement for the leylines because they're too weak in Natlan. As for the Traveler, we honestly don't even know if they're going to be able to make this ancient name. Xilonen said that someone (most likely Mavuika) is trying to finish the ancient name, so Xilonen wasn't able to do it. Then we have the Traveler's soul being restrained and getting weaker, which could potentially be the result of trying to link him to the night kingdom. As for Lumine, the same thing from before applies to her. She needs to be recorded by the leylines, not the Night Kingdom, to be part of Teyvat, but she's not a descender, so Irminsul maybe didn't have a problem recording her to begin with. I don't think Mavuika has evil plans against us, she's too preoccupied with the abyss and now the Fatui, we're basically the least of her problems, especially since we're helping her. Natlan is about to be destroyed by the abyss, so the off chance that we might become dangerous, wouldn't even go through her mind

[@amouramarie]

@@ShadowXImpact Yeah, I was thinking that maybe Lumine used to be a descender like us, because there doesn't seem to be a very good reason given why one twin would be and the other not, unless we think that one twin naturally has a superior "will" than the other, which may be true, protagonist privilege and all that. Or maybe the twins' wills are equal in strength, but the Abyss twin was somehow artificially tied to Teyvat. I forget how Nahida phrases it - that the twin "belongs" to Teyvat and the Traveler doesn't for some reason? Depending on how similar the Night Kingdom is to the leyline system, it might have the same effect. Or if there's any point of connection between the Night Kingdom and Natlan's weakened leylines... Ahh, the Night Kingdom is still too mysterious!

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@amouramarie as far as we know, based on how they phrased things, Aether is a descender, so he has a will that can challenge a world by birth, while Lumine doesn't. It has never been explained why, and I think the twins originally didn't know either, because the concept of being Descenders is something they learned in Teyvat. Considering how little we know, it could also be that Lumine was a descender but she lost that privilege because of something that happened to her, and we know she lived through the cataclysm, while Aether was still in the meteor, so she could have even been cursed. If the outsiders all get the same treatment, then the story of the second Descenders, the ones from the battlepass, may apply to the current ones. The first heir got corrupted by Forbidden Knowledge and forgot who she was, so the second one took up where the first had stumbled. Either way, I don't think the Night Kingdom is responsible for Lumine "coming from this world" as Nahida said. The whole concept of her being from Teyvat is very weird as it is, because if you think about it, although Irminsul believes her to be from Teyvat, it still has nothing about her before she suddenly appeared in Khaenri'ah. This could mean two things: either Irminsul began to record information about her as soon as she appeared in Khaenri'ah, or something along the way, something she did maybe, made it so that Irminsul acquired knowledge of everything she did up until then since she appeared in Khaenri'ah all in one shot. I tend to believe the first option more than the second, but we know far too little to figure this out

Crack theory: Capitano is Xlbalanque (and maybe Menogias - would be so funny if this crack theory came true)

[@ShadowXImpact]

@@_jules_perez_ there are a few things that prevent capitano from being Xbalanque, like his voice doesn't sound like the one we heard in Mavuika's consciousness, or the fact that he went back into the sacred flame for some reason, but putting those aside, I hope he's not Xbalanque! I mean, he wouldn't even have to fight Mavuika to rule Natlan, it would be his by default!

I don't know why enemies would also be resurrected. The concept of resurrection in Natlan is strictly tied to the Ancient Names. If they don't have one, they can't come back, and I doubt the Wayob would have given an Ancient Name to an enemy, since they are only given to those who will defend Natlan. As for coming back to life at the Statue, it could be a gameplay thing, or it could actually mean something, but if it does, I would have expected a voiceline of some sort to at least give a hint at it being something relevant
