[@spartantraveler7251]

I mean Traveler is similar to the Gnosis as they are made from the remains of a Descender, and the Gnosis gives power proportional to the people's worship of the god. So like the second Raiden fight, the wishes and ambitions will power him.

man, mihoyo must be one of the worst company ever at telling stories lol., All the "theory crafter" on youtube, do a much better job.. All mihoyo does, is create useless unrelated side quests , we probably did like 10 main quest, and 9000 + side quest Way to ruin whatever story you're trying to tell us. by the end of genshin we don't even remember why we are looking for a "brother/sister" that can come find us whenever they want basically lol

[@d_fnanda]

@@WastedTalent83 Ngl, the looking for the twin is the one thing I would change if I could. It bothers me that we wanted to find our twin, FOUND the twin but received a "yeah go through all nations tho". Like, it would feel more impactful to me if we didn't see the abyss twin yet, but kept finding clues about her/him and what they're doing. Gotta keep the traveler worried for the twin, you know? But now it's almost as if the traveler is exploring because he was forced to by his sister, or they can't go home together. Idk man, that's such a pet peeve to me 😂

The part about the skies being fake keeps being referenced throughout the story. Before Sun and Moon says the Primordial One made the skies out of his eggshell. Dottore says to Nahida that the skies are fake. But the other parts are not. Like the true nature of the stars, which is still a bit of a mystery.

Bit of music theory here but Hoyo tends to use EDM for creatures or beings that come from outside of Teyvat. Eg. the enemy you fight halfway through the narwhale boss has some very strong EDM going on. Arlecchino contains EDM in all her themes which could really reinforce your theory about her being a reborn moon sister, assuming they aren't native to Teyvat.

You’re totally right!!!! And I always wondered why some Khaenri’ahn beings we fought had some EDM themes as well 😭😭

@@Sinon0017 @Minsleif you two honestly be cooking hard rn. I don't think we can currently make a theory on this, but I've been wondering on why traveler and their sibling in the first place, and where they originally came from (sorry this ie so unrelated). I'ma just assume for now that their world got destroyed. I think in one traveler character story, it said something that they thought Teyvat would be a nice place to stay for a while( I don't remember what it exactly said), but imagine that traveler just went on a vacay to teyvat but it turned into a whole story plot. If this is true, it would be kinda like penacony on how the astral express came to penacony for a vacation but it turned out to be the most tragic story ever.

[@jessicaschoonen5923]

With all the events happening in Genshin and all the old lore that have resurfaced, I’m starting to think that The Tsaritsa herself is Khaenri’ahn. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that The Harbingers have connections to Khaenri’ah and the Abyss and that their strongest members have powers that rivals even the Gods/Archon themselves. I’m also pretty sure that “Project: Stuzha” started when The Tsaritsa “changed” 500 hundred years ago. Venti even confirms in the Mondstadt Archon quest that she suddenly cut ties with him and had changed. Remember Dainsleif’s voiceline for the Snezhnayan chapter in the preview? *”She is a god with no love left for her people, nor do they have any left for her.” Her followers hope only to be on her side when the day of her rebellion against the divine comes at last”* She has no love left for her (Snezhnayan) people because what happened to Khaenri’ah. And thr rebellion is probably called“Project: Stuzha”, which is… *“Everwinter without Mercy”.* This brainrot is a STRECH but damn, the possibilities are endless. Thanks for coming to my TED talk lol

[@Pheynex]

that is just obvious

[@ashy969]

This would be an obvious interpretation which we all came to... But... When you listen to Pierro during Signora's funeral, you hear something different. That the Tsaritsa has endless love for her people. Childe says she is a gentle soul who basically has a hard shell but is soft inside. So probably the real story will be a bit more complicated than a tyrant heartless b!tch and her frightened subjects praying for the moment when they can ditch her... But yes, her being khaenri'ahn would make sense...

[@astridmustikasyamsuri6207]

@@ashy969 this trope if executed well is a tragedy like we seen in fate's emiya kiritsugu, (hoyo canonly said they are weebs that inspired by nasu's fate series all the way so its possible it bleeds to their writing) she need to face the world's hatred for what she let her people did to other countries, but if it executed badly and she just a softie waifu all along like Ei in the first story quest, just a loving cute waifu that forced to do bad thing by circumstances & trauma & cry frozen tears or something secretly they better packed it up bcs furina did that self sacrificing trope better too. I want to see tsaritsa really just offer her all, even her body in the battle, venti can take a kick on screen & furina got mental breakdown on screen, you can take much more girlie

[@uprising1557]

But how would someone that was from a rebellious nation that was destroyed by the Heavenly Principles be chosen to be an archon by the same Heavenly Principles in the first place? It just doesn’t make sense. Besides, if the Tsaritsa was Khaenri’an then wouldn’t she have either turned into a monster like the hilichurls or been cursed by the Heavenly Principles like Dainsleif? The Heavenly Principles would not make someone she cursed into an archon and god.

I don't remember who, but one of the other YT Genshin theorists pointed out that Pierro was shocked to see her because she's a DESCENDANT of the Chrimson Moon Dynasty. (I haven't gotten that far in her friendship level to unlock that yet, so I don't know for myself how true this is.) If this IS true, maybe you're still right about her being artificial or resurrected but maybe not in the way or for the reasons you think. Think about it. Pierro told her to read Perinheri, telling her that it's accurate to her situation. Whoever took her to the orphanage knew this story. They made sure that she followed the same path because whoever the real Perenheri turned out to be, they wanted her to follow that same path.

Yeah it always struck me as odd that Aether said that they were traveling for a new home/place to live but then Lumine said that home was just where they were together? I did see another theory about them actually not arriving to Tevayt together but Aether was looking for her. Although the siblings look on the younger side, it’s implied that they are older than they look and while some people joke that they are too young the drink, others have either given them drinks or it’s suggested that they have drunk alcohol. From the opening image it doesn’t look like from then to now either sibling aged (500+ years later) so why would Lumine be in an orphanage? It does seem like either that is a fake/artificial Lumine and Khaenriah had some sort of wishing, creating or summoning technology or that this whole game is in some simulation like the matrix/Hoyo’s first game

I think that many enemies were stronger than Traveler but only for a while until we figured out how to beat them as bosses - this is what connects us as players with the evolution of Traveler.

[@nfrance999]

So, I've had this sort of thought nagging at me. We know that the traveler canonically gets stronger with each element (and therefore each region). IMO the end game is the traveler conjoining their 7 elemental powers with their original powers, as their OG powers weren't enough (But thats not relevant for now) The point of why I bring this up, is we know 3 things.. 1. Mecha Scara was stated as having the genuine power of a god. We do know not all gods are created equal, but that statement was made regardless. 2. 4 Element traveler was powerful enough to throw hands with Mecha Scara, and while still weaker then Mecha Scara, it doesn't change the fact we were powerful enough to measure up against a bona-fide godlike entity. 3. Nahida stated it was only Harbingers #3 and up who could rival gods. So, why is this important? Well, if you look at Arle's voice lines, she seems reasonably confident in her belief of facing down Dottore if need be. Not just that, she EXPLICITLY states in her story quest that she makes it a point of spreading misinformation or withholding truths about herself, as it furthers her goals. So, again, what is the point? I think that Harbingers #3 and up being godlike isn't quite true. Rather, I think Arle should be included as well. Nahida's information is based on what Irminsul seems to know, BUT if we combine Arle's history of misdirection and subterfuge, and the very heavily implied "Not properly of Teyvat" nature of her powers/self, it may simply be that Irminsul itself was either tricked/didn't have a proper grasp of just how powerful Arle is. Again, the traveler is canonically stronger then in Sumeru were we managed to fight a proper god level being, and while we had Nahida gift us all that knowledge and give us the opportunity in the first place, Nahida herself didn't join in on the fighting, it was all us. So for Arle to not just beat a more powerful traveler, but beat a more powerful traveler who had help WHILE holding back herself... Tl;Dr-> Arle is god level, and Nahida/Irminsul simply has no way of knowing, either through her own attempts at obscuring info about herself, or because of her weird two world motif goin on.

[@rao9574]

Interesting, Hoyo has experience in making something like this, so I won't be surprised. Btw. First, Genshin has to be a Honkai series, but it is still connected. Teyvat is really similar to Vita's planet arc from Honkai Impact 3rd and some bubble univers from arc before.

[@rao9574]

Salt Snow Holy City and Phosphorus if you are curious.

[@starlight14673]

they are connected in honkai a professor was checking some non honkai effected planets and they did find and saw dvalin which was confirmed by writer that yeah tevyat exist in hoyoverse

[@spymadmax584]

12:35 something similar happened in hi3 btw.kiana after becoming the herscher of finality and taking control over all of the honkai on the earth, the earth started rejecting her new existence, so she instead flees 2 the moon and stay there until the honkai on the earth is removed entirely. (Its kinda like removing rukkhadevata but the existing withering zones still exist).

[@TheGameRuler]

That's not what happened; Earth didn't reject her, it was her new found power of Finality that was too dangerous. Finality is in of itself a very POWERFUL aspect of Honkai if not the core. According to lore on the P.E. the Herrscher of Finality was so powerful that normal humans would die instantly when within her proximity without her even trying or even willing it. That's because the very power of Finality is destructive at it's nature. This didn't change when Kiana became the new defacto herrscher of Finality after defeating Kevin. For this reason; Kiana needs to stay in the moon for several years to master her new powers so she can then descend back to the Planet without killing anyone unintentionaly. It was never rejection; It's just the new power is TOO much of an "Anti-Life" font that she needs to master it off-planet first before returning. Only Valkyries, Herrschers and Mantis-Type individuals can stand being near her due to Honkai resistance.

Not only on star rail. On honkai impact third, the collision or merge of two worlds (or bubble universes) has always been a common theme.

In Honkai Impact 3, there's also one bubble universe where two worlds grew attached to each other due to the first world's inhabitants' desire to see the deceased persons, and the two worlds were collapsing due to their interactions (and something more). I'll be very surprised if this is what's happening in Teyvat 😨

[@Caroline-mt5si]

About the moon sister theory: Black Swan from HSR,who looks exactly like the welking moon girl came out not too long ago, and her trailer is named “Lullaby“ just like Arlecchinos. I thought it was weird, and now there’s a reasoning why.

[@d.ritzer]

Based on Nahida‘s words, there is a huge gab between the first three harbingers and the fourth, to the point that 1, 2 and 3 are in the realm of gods. The traveler right now is not even fit to be Capitano‘s punching bag. Edit: Wow, hard to believe people ignore the words "based on". Nahida said "The top-ranked Fatui Harbingers, up to No. 3, possess power comparable to that of gods." In Asian stories, gods (or as they are also classified: Immortals) have a huge gap between them and normal humans / being which are usually classified as mortals. Even the most powerful mortals cannot even touch a hair on an immortals body and are nothing more than ants. Arlecchino did just that against the traveler, but is not among the top 3. If you want to see her words differently, you are free to do that, I have my view based on the fact that as stories progress, characters an MC encounters usually only get stronger.

[@daffafatih8669]

Nahida only mentioned the comparison of the top 3's strength which is comparable to that of a god, she didn't say that rank 4 is far below 3, besides, Arlecchino views Columbina as a unique and funny harbringer instead a threat unlike Scara who views her as a threat.

[@keorishalashaka2064]

Maybe the Traveler will get some sort of power boost once they touch the statue of the seven of Natlan.Considering Natlan is the nation of war,Maybe the traveler will become stronger from the statue’s power. Or they become stronger during the summer event.

[@MacA60230]

@@keorishalashaka2064 Of course he'll get a power boost. In the end he will be the one to "save the world", whatever that means in Genshin. We're in the part of the story where the hero gets destroyed by the enemy and willl feel doubt and anguish, but then he will overcome this struggle and rise to the challenge. AKA typical shonen like story structure. Idk why everyone is like "hurr durr the traveler will get bodied by Capitano", if traveller and Capitano ever do fight you can be sure he'll be much stronger because the plot demands it. "Hurr durr Ichigo/Naruto/Itadori will get bodied by Aizen/Orochimaru/Mahito" but fast forward a couple arcs and they all won against their nemesis. Also getting a bit tired of the perma Capitano glazing, fingers crossed he gets Signora'd

Why do people keep saying the traveler was frozen in fear? Y’all mfs not have eyes? They were restrained by webs/wires lmao the camera literally focused on them

[@heck-r]

I'm not sure if this can be used as a reliable analogy due to the caveats. The traveler did feel hazy when leaving the Shogun's palace, which was definitely due to her power being released / activated / being around, but it was purely due to the raw power "in the air" in the real world. At the same time when he "froze in terror" against Arlecchino, he was looking in her eye, and was seemingly teleported into some other plane, where some strings were holding him in place. So While I agree that this was the first time the traveler seemed to be afraid, I don't think the "freezing" was comparable, as it was shown to be some kind of direct binding, likely connected to Arlecchino's special powers. Also why I mentioned the traveler looking into her eye is because I think she has a line somewhere about not advising to look into her eye, because we'd not like what we see. That does sound like there are some sketchy things going on with her eye, which I don't think can be compared to raw power. It's possible that there is some kind of primal negative feeling or fear itself "lurking behind her eyes", which could be similar to a simple Genjutsu from Naruto, where it's not about power, but rather a paralyzing and/or emotional aspect. It's also possible that it is about power, but not directly Arlecchino's current power level, but rather the full potential of her power's origin

[@Zalsabrav]

It's also possible that Dotorre resurrected a Crimson Moon Dynasty member (aka Peruer) and had her ingest the crimson flames to forget all she knew before. Her name means slave and it would make sense that under Dotorre, Pierro wanted to ensure that her Resurrection had no flaws. So after consuming what would be her own flames in a younger version of herself, she was placed in the House of the Hearth where she would be tested more than likely unbeknownst to Crucibina to keep the trials and conditions the same.

[@Zalsabrav]

This could also imply that the harbingers above Peruer are some form of Khanrian/Primordial/Descender hybrids either by blood or experiments by Albedo's master or even before. Also, the Abyss being the other Sphere for Teyvat would be crazy if the half's weren't symmetrical but rather the top of one is the end of the other i.e)( the depths of the Abyss are the sky in Teyvat while the opposite is true for the Abyss. P.S Upside down statue.

[@defeatankylosing]

There is one more possibility arlecchino is actually more powerful than any harbinger or tsaritsa itself, and in story we know she likes people to have misconceptions about her. She's also confident to turn against tsaritsa if needed without second thought ( child voicelines)

[@dolphin4156]

Well she admits she does not understand The Jester and He understands her very well And about she admits she would be ready to raise her weapons against her. with these things i hardly think the other harbingers are not aware of what she think about them. and i personally think she was probably watched by dottore as soon as she was brought into the House.

Ultimately, if you receive a Vision, you are entrapped by fate. A'chino has been written into Teyvat's plan. Only a descender who can defy fate will be able to take control of Teyvat & the Abyss. We already know the Abyss and Teyvat are incompatible with each other. It makes sense that Alecchino came from such a world, and so glitches in Teyvat. That she was reborn in the same manner as Catapilar, having a cursed body. It's a fairly normal body, just as long as she doesn't let her emotions erode it away. But she's severed herself from those emotions as she grew up. Hence why Neuvilette can't sense any.

[@trollinggaming9903]

While Traveler can't defeat Arlecchino during her story quest, you also forgot that Traveler did NOT use any of his/her elemental powers. During Navia's quest, Traveler used his Geo powers to block the rubbles from harming Poisson, and can also use two(maybe more - currently has 5 elements in his/her disposal) elements simultaneously like during the fight with Childe in the Golden House. So we can safely say that the Traveler also held back during the Arlecchino fight. So as of now, we can't really say how the Traveler will fare against the Fatui.
