The Angels of Genshin [Genshin Impact Lore and Theory]

[@WhiteKoneko]

I should mention one thing I'm not sure Aster completely touched is that Angels are split into 3 triads called choirs. The lowest is the 3rd Triad which is made of Angels, Archangels, and principles. The next highest is the 2nd triad which consists the Powers, Dominions, & Virtues. And at the top with god himself is the 1st Triad which consists the Thrones, Cherubim, and Seraphim at the top. The more wings angels have the stronger they are with six being the max. I hope this helps.

[@esdeathTheEternal]

I'm really interested in this angels ranking where can I find trustful source

[@Zeta-yy9du]

In different parts of Judaism the highest amount of wings varies right? Some would we six, some would be twelve

[@shadowatch4767]

@@esdeathTheEternal I strongly recommend a video called "The 9 Types of Biblical Angels Explained" by the channel Wendigoon. He does a fantastic job of describing the Christian canon of the angelic hierarchy, both each individual class of angels and the functions of their respective choirs.

[@mitab1]

Funny how in islam angels or at least archangels, were said to have six HUNDRED wings

[@WhiteKoneko]

​@@shadowatch4767 Thank you giving that link for them. ❤

[@SainInaban]

Sus Venti Lurking behind: Why did he chose the angel wings? preety sus

[@SainInaban]

Angel Wings, Queen piece, The son of Istaroth, Quoting: Weakness Among the seven. And many more.

[@Akizathegoat]

@@SainInaban i swear i never trusted venti being the weakest he might be the strongest after zhongli since if we're talking about lore his pretty damn strong

[@sky-lb6nk]

@@AkizathegoatHe is much more stronger than Raiden and Nahida in my opinion

[@Akizathegoat]

@@sky-lb6nk that's true ngl after all his the second original archon beside zhongli and i really hate some ppl saying his weak saying "why was he easly defeated by signora" if they knew the lore they would understand why he didn't try and let her hit him and take the gnosis i wouldn't be surprised if his the second strongest archon between the 7 archons

[@SainInaban]

@@Akizathegoat Ye The Strongest Telling everyone that he is the weakest ye we all have seen this hideout trick. ah one more thing to add into the sus list. What's were the reason that the Hexenzircles Chose Venti for fight? Those witches Study the Irumensul to their heart So they are something else.

[@eboshisdescendant8697]

The Goddess of Flower mentioned “divine envoys(天降使者：messengers who descend from the heaven)” in the artifact. In Chinese and Japanese language, angels in general are called “天使：messengers from the heaven”, as the word angel itself derived from the greek word angelos “messenger”. So I always wondered if divine envoys (who are maybe Seelies) are, in fact, angels in Genshin.

[@Marchenboy3152]

​@@sersarahmed1799 The Seelie court was one of the two faerie courts, so they remind me more of fairies, however in some versions it was said that fairies were angels who fell to earth, as it was said that they were too evil for Heaven and too good for Hell (I apologize for any writing errors).

[@sherlockhomeless4928]

Personally I think, that she is a being, that doesn't understand consequences. As Scara stated, She is"Someone who is oblivious at all times". Imagine the destruction she may cause with whatever she may have, only to walk through the rubble humming and singing, not caring for what just happened. (Also, I have a feeling that she may be a Pyro user...for obvious reasons)

[@user-tx3zl5np1q]

Even if Barbatos is a demon God, he also has white angel wings with golden rings on them. Who knows, maybe he connected to angels a bit, just like Istaroth

[@icecream1372]

exactly!! in his archon form he did have wings included, i wonder what his connection to the god of time is though

[@tanmigz19]

Their simple common connection is that Istaroth's worshipper's place is at the Land of Mondstadt

[@Iyala-iyala]

@@tanmigz19 he’s also her son which is funny to me

[@crowthatweavestales]

in some texts demons are referred to as fallen angels aren’t they? maybe that’s the connection

[@that-one-sanrio-girliepop]

I wonder if he actually is a demon…considering his archon outfit. Perhaps he is actually an angel…!

[@Force-Multiplier]

The angels of Genshin are the beings playing the environmental music whenever im doing nothing and just going around the world

[@somewhat103]

Could the “doves” mentioned in that one book actually angels?

[@rodhrimartins]

Keeping with the Angel theme, I wonder if her Vision/Delusion combo is going to be Anemo + Pyro, as angels in general are considered beings of air, but wield holy fire as a weapon. There are references to the Seraphim wielding fiery swords, and manifesting pillars of fire, so it would be an epic fight

[@eliseoRMR]

The "am i muted?" was an unexpected but much appreciated laugh 😂. Excellent video 😊

[@FemboiMuffin]

The elemental hypostasis have angel names too

[@justincross2212]

Loved the vid, it made me more excited about Traveler vs Columbina. Also loved the bloopers lmao

[@kanishkjaiswal5088]

If she is as powerful as she is made out to be. I dont think there will be a fight like that. She is more powerful than an archon, we dont come close for now.

[@Akizathegoat]

@@kanishkjaiswal5088 there are 3 and she's the third there's dotorre and pierro who ranks ahead of her and are stronger than her since the ranking depends on who is stronger and it was stated that they are on par with the archons not stronger so in my opinion zhongli is still stronger than her and the others. And also in the future The mc might get even stronger than now since we get stronger everytime and we still know nothing about the mc except that he was awake when the cataclysm happened and that they are stars

[@icecream1372]

tes the battle is going to be epic! plus i really want to know more about her too

[@VentiGerman]

She in love in PUTANGINA 💪💪💪💪💪

[@sillyunicorn25]

“Holy fire”? That would translate nicely into Pyro abilities for Columbina. If she is playable (it looks like she uses a playable character model, so it’s likely), I would see her being a Pyro catalyst character, maybe a sub-dps or buffer. In terms of lore, if she really has celestial origins, that could mean that she could be a HUUUGGGEEEE lore dropper, like Nahida but maybe even more in-depth, considering she could be, and is likely, hundreds, if not thousands of years old. Whatever they decide to do with Columbina, I have a feeling that she will be one of the most lore-heavy characters yet.

[@sunnystar707]

i really hope so , columbina has been my favourite so far and she has SO much potential i hope she dose not get downplayed to fan service. I NEED HER TO BE THE BIGGEST LORE DROP EVERR

[@MrChowdah13]

Aster's English is sooo good and soooo international... But the mura in the bloopers... the design is very Tondo. XD I LOVE WATCHING AND LISTENING TO YOUR VIDEOS, ASTERRRR

[@HauntedMushroom96]

I think the reason why seelies are fairies but share similarities to angels is because they are based off post-christisn fey. When the UK started christianizing the faeries of folklore got christian explainations for them. So faeries started being considered spirits of the deceased or fallen angels. Additionally in norse mythology there are the light elves and the dark elves. The light elves became associated with angels.

[@kimarimoi]

I'm still convinced the Second Who Came must have defeated the Primordial One, mainly due to storytelling principles--the whole invasion myth has no need to exist if the original god ended up winning. If the Travelers are seraphim, which seems very likely, the only reason they would enter Teyvat from the outside and get in a fight with the Principles would be if the latter was now under the control of the Second, and the Primordial One sent them here to take its throne back.

[@mitab1]

Not necessarily, the primordial one could have won, but that doesn't mean the second who came isn't out of the picture yet, it could be that the abyss was created the 2nd who came, and I Personally think that the sinner could possibly be the 2nd who came, trapped within a crystal

[@_hector__]

@@mitab1 It is said that the abyss was brought into teyvat by the 2nd who came or by the dragon king, either one of the two

[@_hector__]

Its also possible that the 2nd who came changed the Primordial One or teyvat itself and thus affected teyvat in some way, which is why it was mentioned in the first place, because it can be used to storytelling later on

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Yeah but you can just flip the script either way and it would still make sense.

[@chickensky1121]

Angels are really cool and I have a ton of references to them in the lore of the story I am writing, so this video was pretty cool. I wasn't into Columbina too much, but if she really is related to Angels in some way (and has a ton of creepy or just really badass imagery associated with her) I'll probably pull her (her potentially being the love interest of my favorite Harbinger helps her case, although I'm not sure HoYo will go that route).

[@greyvulture7342]

Aster has been reading so much the Ars Goetia she started speaking in tongues at the end of this 🤣🤣🤣

[@PenguinMasterKnight]

I will not apologize in saying I love the "Columbina is an Angel/Fallen Angel/Seraph" theory way more than I do the Seelie one for some reason, lol, Hell the whole Angel/Demon demon is a quick way to get me interested in the lore and such of a story, I almost always find it fascinating to explore.

[@ussinussinongawd516]

well if seelies ARE angels we can like both theories cuz theyd be the same

[@shirouemiya5333]

​@@ussinussinongawd516 whaddya know? Seelies are confirmed as Angels in 5.1 lmao

[@syzeone5510]

Ive been waiting that video for a while ! Columbina is the character that interests me the most lore wise (with sustainer) as well as one of my all time fav char overhaul ! YAY ! Tho, will there be a video entierly dedicated to her like the other harbingers ?

[@mafimok]

11:01 come on! click it. this is the best sound bite from Aster ever!!

[@alexpav845]

7:51 Genesis 6: When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with[a] humans forever, for they are mortal[b]; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. Angels are sometimes called the sons of God

[@marcusbullock2753]

Looking at this video and recently Ashikai video on how it’s possibly related to the sovereigns giving out visions is interesting.

[@GenshinTraveler777]

Love Your Theories Mam❤

[@infinitygamecosmic9171]

My theory, I copy and paste this from my 2 hours long essay on the identity of the Fatui Harbinger no.0 The Founder (The 5th Prince of Khaenriah), I was high on coffee when I write this thing. Columbina for Seraphim The twin for Cherubim The Prince for Ophanim (the one eye mask on top of the Fatui Harbinger circle) Seraphim stand for burning love Cherubim stand for bearer of thrones Ophanim stand for always watching If I remember correctly Ophanim is an angel with many eyes but have one large eye in the middle, Ophanim in Hebrew means wheels or sphere and isn't it strange that all the Fatui harbinger symbols is inside of a giant wheel/sphere?

[@DavidJohnson-ib1dh]

No Nephilim were harmed in the making of this video.

[@rinniebinnie1035]

[@amouramarie]

Ooooh, I LOVE the idea of the Traveler as Lucifer. We're going around, 'corrupting' all the powerful people and gods and adepti of Teyvat, subtly bringing them over to our side, and building this great coalition to eventually turn them against celestia in a heavenly war.

[@sleepydoopie1744]

I think it would be interesting for Mond and Venti to have more angelical themes and imagery, afterall Mond has a church and nuns inspired by Catholicism/Christianity, and for Columbina to be from there wouldn't sound so farfetched (at least for me) Also, i really thought you said "puta madre" instead of putang ina 😭😭, putang and puta sound so similar i could never guessed

that is a good theory like what if she is related to celestia

[@starlight14673]

yes but she could be fallen seelie all seelie were curse but some remained like goddess of flowers and maybe columbina is one of them. in fatui the top 3 powers= archons or gods so columbina is powerful and judging from her design only she has feathers on her head and THEY ARE ARRANGED LIKE BIBLICAL ANGLES so yeah if they have to spice up the lore they have to add an angel

You know one of the traveller's answers to Lilopar ((I'm a princess in exile)). Traveller twins, wanted to leave a gateway from Tyvat but were blocked. Maybe the heavenly Principles did what she had to do it, but she was merciless arrogant like Raiden and didn't even listen first to them. I want to say she might not be so evil but she's mistaken and the twins are paying the price heavily.. Hence also the lost twin ((or current shell)) gave up all hope..

Hoyo takes heavy influence from NGE, especially in Honkai as many Honkai and Herrschers are referred with Angelic names. I get similar vibes from Genshin since we've been siding with Demons. Even to me the Harbingers feel like the Twelve Apostles in this scenario

[@sillyunicorn25]

Perhaps the seelie curse of “falling in love” isn’t in the literal sense. Perhaps it’s “falling in love with humanity”. Seeing them as friends, even equals. Becoming curious about their ways of life. Using their wisdom to help them make advancements in technology. Considering how Celestia reacted to Sal Vindagnr and Khaenri’ah, it wouldn’t be unheard of for them to stop this progress from being made. Or perhaps it is “falling in love” in the actual sense, and all the seelies are simps. Columbina would then be confirmed to be aro-ace, and I’m there for that.
