[@kingcrowbro2486]

"Kakavasha's" story really has been *the* surprise hit of Penacony for me. Keep in mind that personally, I didn't *need* this backstory ya know? I already liked 'Aventurine, the Cocky Gambler' a ton. But this whole arc was done masterfully; my highest compliments to the writers and *especially* Kakavasha's english VA. I don't especially have a ton to add to Kakavasha's backstory, so instead I'll turn my speculation to the Sigonia people in general. Part of me is growing increasingly curious as to how different these people's beliefs *actually* are from the rest of the universe. Its pretty telling to me that smack dab in the middle of a storyline where The Family - a faction representing Xipe are front and center, we take a significant amount of time to focus on Kakavasha, a boy who's people was also said to serve a Goddess. A Goddess who has *three faces* - an oddly specific detail. And one that Gaiathra shares with The Harmony.

[@DawitsLookingforEmilia]

i do believe Xipe is the almalgamation of over a thousand different entities as well, hmmm

[@somedude2468]

I thought gaiathra triclops was yaoshi, since they prayed to her for rain and good fortune, something align with yaoshi’s proliferation of life and Chinese motifs. And I thought triclops was a creature with 3 eyes, not 3 faces. Yaoshi has tons of eyes all other her, maybe even one on her forehead.

[@margarettepaderes9808]

I suspect they're Ena, mainly because of the colors between their eyes and Aventurine's being the same. His "luck" may be some kind of blessing where he'll always succeed even in the most ridiculous of situations as order needs to be restored. However, this also applies the other way as you can see with the amount of loss in his life. Sigonia's decline may even be linked to how civilizations under Ena would prosper but then face a devastating fall, leading to the feud between the clans. And what beautiful irony is it that a person from the planet whose Aeon got assimilated went to one with the Aeon that did it? Not to mention, he almost "joined" the Family because of Sunday who serves the Harmony. May or not be a reference to how Xipe absorbed Ena...

[@0v_x0]

Aventurine's VA, Camden, absolutely killed it. This is his first role!

The 'protection' of the IPC sure doesn't do much for those that are supposedly under it

[@DawitsLookingforEmilia]

damn i wonder if they have ulterior motives

[@idontspeakjapanese6289]

Gotta love how they didn't shy away from showing so much blood.

[@DawitsLookingforEmilia]

yea i wonder about that

[@kitty8179]

I think Adventurine knew Robin had made it to the other side and his gift of luck or good fortune would bring him to the other side of Penacony. I believe that there's more to him than just his luck.

[@DawitsLookingforEmilia]

well yes aside from his luck, hes a crafty individual, as seen by how he duped Sunday

[@SIPATGaming]

My money is that he isn't the last avgin, his answer to Sunday was too suspicious. I bet my friday lunch his sister is gonna be playable.

[@everettjoseph6189]

I mean i dont think it was suspicious, i just think he doesnt know considering he wasn't there when the actual extinction happened. But you know what did happen? The ipc failing him. Even when he was supposed to be saved by them because the avgin was supposed to be in their "protection" but the attack still happened and many people died and also to resulting in him getting enslaved, like what?!?

MY BOY AVENTURINE ‼️‼️‼️ RAAAAAH SEEING A VIDEO DONE ABOUT HIM BY YOU IS ALWAYS SUCH A GEM 😩😩 but i do have a theory regarding aventurine is that he really isn't the sole survivor? Mf coulda said yes to that question regarding if he were the last one, but he didn't, which makes me think that perhaps he saw someone else survive but kept quiet because you dunno the dangers you can put someone in by outing them. Idk i think it can add a whole another facet to his already rich character outline :D i love aventurine can't wait to marry him

[@DawitsLookingforEmilia]

id love it if his sister was alive but well see :(

[@MisguidingWish]

Aventurine's stroy is the only story that was interesting this whole penacony arc. Also bcz i relate with some of his feelings and i am the exact opposite of him where i am unlucky

@@DawitsLookingforEmilia i appreciate ur consideration of using for both genders, considerate and kind people are very few nowadays i don't think I'd be able to mentally survive much longer in this world anymore. Since I end up lonely all the time in my 23 yrs of life. After all this years I have no friend to share opinions and feelings to its only yt comment section where I let it all out regardless of whether someone listens to me or not. Sometimes I think I am not even of this world and got born into it by accident, i wasn't supposed to exist (can't even count how many times I've had this thought). Thank u to make me feel better btw it's King 🙃 Edit: just incase u don't read my comment on the acheron video, Finding this channel is the luckiest thing that has happened to me today. Coz unlike other lore channels ur videos don't include the bs theorycrafting and speculation that spread rumours and misinformation it's to the point and genuinely funny.

[@InfamyTheMighty]

I was suspicious of him at first for the murders, but seeing his backstory and his growth as a character, This was an absolutely cool backstory. And its not often you see a game that has references to slavery because it is socially unacceptable and Illegal. But with a fictional world like this, it really shows you the cruelty of people. Also at 9:19 that was foul.

[@lucianof9080]

I don't get how a slave killing his owner is a crime. How did he become a slave? Does the IPC legalize slavery? he even has a mark in his neck. Make it make sense to me. Please.

[@DawitsLookingforEmilia]

tbf that comment felt like it had to with aventurines noteriety more then anything. as in the IPC simply know about his past, the real crime he was caught for was the Egyhazo case and the killing of his master was something Jade only mentioned in passing. i could be wrong tho

[@lucianof9080]

.​@@DawitsLookingforEmilia That clarified a lot of things. I felt the way they delivered this information a little... Convoluted. When I heard "owner" a switch flipped in my head. To me it looked like he went to prison for killing his owner, it also doesn't help that he is still using those tattered clothes in front of Jade. I was like "I'm really supposed to believe no one wants to advocate for him when he unalived a slave owner????"

[@Thedarkbunnyrabbit]

I'm pretty sure slavery is legal under the IPC. Jade says something like 'a slave shouldn't rebel against his master' and that wouldn't make sense if slavery were illegal (example: slavery basically cozies up to kidnapping in the law and if you're kidnapped or enslaved in some way you legally cannot commit a crime against your captor if it is in service of escape. Ie; it isn't murder if you kill your slaver/captor).

[@lucianof9080]

@@Thedarkbunnyrabbit that's utterly disgusting if that's the case. I hope that isn't the case, now the IPC seems even more unlikeable

[@Thedarkbunnyrabbit]

@@lucianof9080 All indications is that it is the case. The IPC likely sees slavery as just another way to make money.

So did every one forget were on this planet for a festival and doing some research on past Trailblazers? I know Penacony is still new but please why is no one talking about the two and important infos? For me Penacony is fun but I just want to see the festival, Robin's concert, her "death" and were she is and of course the past of are crew. Even still people search very far to something we will have reveals in the future, plus taking base infos are the most important in a story or at least a chapter

[@DawitsLookingforEmilia]

yea we came to penacony for the purpose but thats all been derailed by the recent happenings that currently dominate the state of affairs on penacony, even the crew hasent brought up the original purpose of the trip. if it makes you feel better odds are Mikhail was the former nameless

ON MY SCALES

[@skeetsonic4348]

If anything, yeah, aventurine, is well, aventurine But I’m more concerned about who the actual villain could be, cause I’m 99% sure after some digging that Sunday AND Gallagher are being manipulated here, specifically, by ena, the aeon of order And before anyone says anything, we don’t know what exactly happens when an aeon absorbs another aeon, so here’s my 50 cents Ena is still alive, somewhere within xipe, and has been gaining power, and only recently, has gained enough power to tamper with the harmony path, thereby screwing up robins voice This has allowed her to be able to essentially start maybe her escape from xipe, or maybe, her infact coming out and absorbing xipe instead, becoming the stronger aeon

[@DawitsLookingforEmilia]

ena still being alive would be interesting. ig ur right we dont know exactly what happens, and we do know for a fact xipe is made out of thousands of different entities

[@zenneful]

ooo i like the is! it would also make sense as to why they introduced aventurine/the avgin race considering gaithra triclopse (or however you spell it😭) is likely ena, or a folk belief of her

[@LlamaM2288]

That sounds really cool tbh but wouldn't that be too random? Cause I imagine most people don't read that much into Sim uni. Or you're like me and read it but still have no idea what is happening

[@Yay770]

Why do you hate the dragon sovereigns so much?

[@DawitsLookingforEmilia]

because the vishap race wants to have their cake and eat it as well, between contradictory goals, wanting to simply dispatch of celestia "just cause", introducing to teyvat forbidden knowledge and refusing to honor a simple code of nature "the victor shall inherit the right to shape the world, while the loser must turn to ash" its clear the sovereigns are simply sore losers, who despite having home field advantage and numbers lost the war because they lacked the resolve the heavenly principles had. whilst sovereigns were fighting to preserve their lazy way of life, just lounging around and doing nothing, the heavenly principles were fighting for humanity. Take Neuvillette for instance, someone who wants to judge the principles for their "crimes" despite he himself being in absolutely no position to do so, he wants to collect a blood debt, that will somehow prevent innocents from dying, just to achieve a goal, thats already being realized right now, people and vishaps coinciding with one another, yet he masks it as if hes the highest judge in the land and doing whats "right" when in actuality he wants vengeance, which only benefits he.
