[@Koomaxx]

guys-- this was just a goofy video based on their personalities (not so much moveset), I don't claim to know every single characters skillset so i'm sorry i missed the kokomi thing (I just didn't know she can walk on water). i'll try to avoid making bracket fights in the future about topics that might be misinterpreted as gameplay-centered, because my lists never are meant to be!

[@VarsVerum]

Trust me, the anime/anime game community has a hard time not taking things too seriously. God forbid you say anything that could be misconstrued as an insult to their beloved waifu or husbando lol

[@marismoments39]

I think that even with her waterwalking, beidou would still be a better lifeguaed than kokomi!! I don't think kokomi could really life a person against high currents, even with her waterwalking and waterbreathing abilities, she got fishy muscles!!!!

[@kiraflo98]

Please don't worry about people "fighting" in the comments. Just make your funny Genshin videos :) Most of us enjoy them even if they aren't 100% lore or gameplay accurate

[@evatheone1014]

I always see your videos as a funny game show.😊 I love them, they don't have to be 100% accurate ❤

[@eli_s315]

Awww, don't mind the comments, just have fun! That's why most of us are here for!

[@min3bubblegum]

Considering Thoma got to Inazuma by miraculously not drowning after a shipwreck, I think he'd either try to rescue anyone he'd see in the same situation, OR have severe PTSD kicking in.

[@McDonalds_Kaveh]

I agree

[@Children_of_stars]

Wait what he almost drowned?! I feel bad for my boy thoma almost drowning than facing the god of inzuma bc he probably got his vision from the shipwreck and still manages to stay positive

[@afa1473]

​@@Children_of_starsThoma got his vision from pledging his loyalty to Ayato, but yeah I have a HC the reason he haven't been back to mondstadt (at all/rarely) is bcs of his ptsd

[@Jeangevity]

Qiqi rescued Xiao, she's definitely more capable as a lifeguard than we believe

[@ianesgrecia8568]

I think she would probably forget what she was supposed to do by the time she gets to you

[@Jeangevity]

@@ianesgrecia8568 she would order herself to never forget

[@lilypad2714]

That’s what I was thinking 😭

[@alexia3552]

I was hesitating between "Qiqi carried Xiao all the way on her back" and "she just dragged him (probably slowly) like a dead sack of potatoes". I have doubts about her alacrity, speed, and explosive strength when it comes to emergency rescues

[@_Ten_]

Itto being a lifeguard is both reassuring and scary at the same time lol.

[@wongo6828]

You'd be surprised at how strong Noelle canonically is. She once threw a crate that's on fire into a lake then threw the crate back onto land from the lake. She'd 100% would save your life no matter the circumstances (even if it kills her, Noelle mains should know the story of her traversing Dragonspine to save a lost adventurer all on her own with zero protection from the cold) so she'd make a great lifeguard

[@dontshitontravelermains5498]

THISSSS, Noelle literally give importance to everyone and will do the best job of it!

[@echxveria6581]

i think she also carried a giant bookshelf literally across half of mondstadt LMAOO i would trust her to save me if i was drowning

[@callmeravenlee1972]

Noelle would be able to save the entire cast from a swimming pool and serve them tea in lore she is legitimately terrifying only nerfed by the fact she’s a maid she’s nigh omnipresent

[@McDonalds_Kaveh]

YES DEFINITELY 👏

[@KairuSan1]

I think Ittou and Noelle would sink like a brick because of how dense their muscles are. Ittou would be the type to immedietly jump in, drown, and then have kuki drag him out because he went unconscious. Noelle Jump in a panic, drown, but keep walking on the sea floorthrough sheer will power and determination, drowning with the person she is trying to save in arm as jean comes in to rescue them both under extreme stress.

[@Relevart9169]

This is actually canon, Beidou's passive helps with swimming. As much as i love Itto and im sure he'll jump in to save u without hesitating, bro doesn't know how to swim

[@ianesgrecia8568]

She probably have saved many of her crew who fell on the water on some storm or something. It is not that far fatched

[@hayond656]

Bruh Imagine if they had a Character not able to swim in Genshin the same way Raiden isn't able to Cook You just walk into the water and straight up drown

[@uyuman1]

[@pandaperson3825]

I mean, if I remember correctly, Xiao and Shenhe both canonically rushed to help the traveler this last Lantern Rite when they were pretending to drown.

[@ianesgrecia8568]

Very true. Too bad that they would probably ONLY save the traveler and not anyone else.

[@artistotaku8344]

Yeah!! I’m pretty sure you’re right!

@@ulrikruby not really. They were literally called by the traveler voice. The surprise was about the situation

[@nynya1]

Never trust Alhaitham, he'd stand on the shore and watch you drown like it's a nature documentary LOL Direct quote from Kaveh's hangout: "His personality is the exact opposite of my own. If someone happens to drown next to him, he'll most likely stand on the shore, and mumble something along the lines of "respecting other people's fates.""

[@ontosgold]

kaveh got done so dirty 😭 we know from the interdarshan event that the guy absolutely puts other people before himself, no matter what it costs for him. even if someone was out there in the water pretending to drown he wouldn't hesitate at the thought of diving in to help him. alhaitham on the other hand complains about the sand in his shoes every time u take him out to the desert. you wouldn't think he'd be complaining about getting his clothes wet the entire time ???

[@SnowFox-gv2rn]

I’m pleasantly surprised with how many good potential lifeguards there are in Genshin (Deyah and Beidou would be a great double duty lifeguards)

[@alexia3552]

Oh my god I would have so much fun at that beach and also be so down bad it's not funny

[@SnowFox-gv2rn]

@@alexia3552 I mean, two beautiful and strong ladies, how could anyone turn that down? 😁

[@mr.unicum]

Wanderer would fly over to you just so you can hear him calling you an idiot while you drown

[@butimashleytho]

Xiao would 100% see someone drowning, roll his eyes, and thennnn save them

[@ianesgrecia8568]

or... or... he would let they drown to not get close to them to avoid karma

[@simonharris7387]

Mona can predict the future (including imminent danger) so she’d be getting to you ahead of time, and she can also teleport herself as well as others instantly. She also wouldn’t care about getting wet because she’s used to it from her hydromancy, hence the swimsuit.

[@ianesgrecia8568]

Very well thought. But Not only it would take time to scry, as in she would be scrying all day, but I don't think she can't teleport at any place. specially in the water. I myself would go kokomi as a final choice. Not only she canonically can breath underwater and walk on it, she can literally heal you at the spot

[@simonharris7387]

@@ianesgrecia8568 We see in Unreconciled Stars that she has a sort of ‘Spider Sense’ that she uses to sense danger from Scaramouche, and she then proceeds to immediately teleport herself and her allies away a decent distance (at least far enough that Scaramouche can’t immediately pursue them). We also see when we first meet her that she can teleport herself to midair from a sitting position as she does this when the Traveler first meets her, so she can definitely reach anyone who is drowning. Even if she can’t, she’s got her dash to quickly get to them and then teleport them to dry land. Also, isn’t Kokomi’s healing meant to be used for wounds? That wouldn’t help someone who’s drowning since you’d need to get them air and get the water out of their body.

[@ianesgrecia8568]

@@simonharris7387 Loved the spider sense. I'm so using it as that for now on. It's very true, but not for everything and literally only for imediate danger ON HER. We saw many times that she herself tell to not use her scrying all the time nor for everyday use. She would be great for avoiding big waves or tsunamis thou, but imagine if her spider sense litearlly activated to every person around her. As for kokomi, it's not only for wounds but we see her manipulating water itself. Not all water vision or even water catalists do this. Add that her island is literally a fishing economics and her quick mind I'd say she would be a better option.

[@user-cg1uo2em9s]

Are we ignore the fact that Shenhe can easily froze the ocean and that makes her a bad safeguard cuz she would kill that people in water 💀

[@Psychoveliatonet]

Canon Shenhe

[@tishabloom1166]

Kaveh is such a goody goody he would try to save anyone and everyone even if they weren’t actually drowning because he thought maybe they were and he couldn’t take the risk

[@ianesgrecia8568]

He is not that strong, I think. Would probably end up the same case as baizhou

[@ianesgrecia8568]

@@justacat5069 Me either. Al haithan would 100% let people drown

I'm surprised kokomi didn't win considering how in her trailer she can literally breath underwater and how in one of her voice lines she mentioned that she can go deep underwater just fine

[@midnashadow8439]

And given the fact that she also walks on walker like the JC himself

[@ianesgrecia8568]

OP is biased to beidou.

[@thegoddessofedge]

I’m not shocked Xiao made it so far. He actually did save us from “drowning” during the 2023 Lantern Rite

[@ChiIIi...]

2:29 The fact that Kaveh mentions in his hang out that Alhaitham would just let someone drown because he couldn't be bothered to help them😭

[@cherylalyssa3870]

1:42 there's actually a joke about this in the Traveler's voicelines, also how dare Kaveh would try to safe someone in an instant before even thinking... and it has definitely lead to consequences before

Thoma, to me, is someone I can rely on in any situation, regardless of how dire it may be.

[@LO_19425]

Am I the only one who remembers how Mona and Fichel fighting over who is the best swimmer and declares a swimming race, in the end they just run instead. in the summer fantasia event. I don’t think they can swim😭

[@tishabloom1166]

I think Yao Yao would be a great one because she’s always looking out for people like maybe not lifeguard at the beach, but at the waterpark in the kiddie section? Best lifeguard

[@M-m585]

Lets not forget that yao yao DID save someone from drowning last lantern rite

[@MasNas624]

Xiao literally saved traveler as traveler pretended to drown in one event. Him and shenhe both saved them.

[@zanashuki]

I disagree Kaveh would try his best to save you, also alhaitam wouldn't save you. He is most likely would read his book or say he is just a "feeble scholar, and doesn't know how to swim"

[@zanashuki]

DAYUM, i got four likes and its been 12 minutes since i posted it, that gotta be a Record!

[@corkasoyeon]

true

[@gabrielellerfagundes24]

I think Alhaitham is responsible enough to save you if that's in his job description, but if you drown even 1 second after his shift ends he will pretend not to see you lol

[@whatashittyname.6460]

There's LITERALLY a Kaveh voice line about Alhaitham leaving someone to drown because it's 'fate'

[@ianesgrecia8568]

very true

[@ReineGalena]

Xiao did help us out last lantern rite when we almost fake drowned.😆

[@shaserra8924]

Disappointed to see you going with Mona over Shinobu when Shinobu would inevitably be lifeguard-certified.

Omg yeah, she be certified in everything 😂

[@benperry593]

Qiqi did carry Xiao's lifeless body all the way back to Liyue in the Endless Suffering trailer. Just saying.

[@velko.0]

Since she’s a Chinese zombie she only gets that super strength during full moon so it wouldn’t be that helpful during the day☹️

[@dabbigailwilliams]

you did Yaoyao dirty 😭 she’s trained by an adeptus and is definitely more capable than Nahida

[@Psychoveliatonet]

I'd say Amber! I think she'd be the best lifeguard for sure. She's athletic enough, she has the right attitude, and she's the outrider for the KoF with the best eyes. Eyesight is a big part of being a lifeguard and I think Amber has the best all-around package with athleticism, personality, and eyesight. Plus Baron Bunny is ADORABLE and would totally make your day after getting saved 🐇

[@PowerSpirit50]

She would also have good work ethic.

[@Milkshakey1]

You should do who’d you want to be in an escape room with! 🔑✨

[@anna_revesz]

The final match-up turned into my 2 previous mains which I completely agree with in terms of being lifeguards; imagine if they worked together and Beidou would be acting like if she was Xiao's big sis and patting him on the head if he rescued someone

In an event quest there was a part where the Traveler was pretending to drown and both Shenhe and Xiao save them. I don’t remember what event quest though

[@Nameless422-]

I think that happened in this years Lantern Rite? if i recall correctly

[@fnln3011]

I feel like Tartaglia would be the cause of the drowning emergency rather than the lifeguard coming to the rescue.

[@Imafish-sy4im]

to be fair, itto would jump in even if he didnt know how to swim

[@Children_of_stars]

7:50 kokomi would try to save you but she would be walking on the water trying to dive in it lmao

[@Kittykatty224]

i would've also gone with nahida ultimately but i think yaoyao should get points for being a character who actually HAS saved someone from drowning

[@chickensoup7578]

Why does eveyone forget Shenhe literally did a little Mario double jump and saved us from falling in the Beisht battle, like Xiao, she would have saved us from drowning in like 3 seconds lmao

[@FraserNapier]

Yaoyao was literally introduced saving someone from drowning, Nahida 100% knows in theory how to swim but she's never actually tried

[@mariuchiha4664]

Wanderer strikes me as the guy who would stand off to the side and call you an idiot while you drown before eventually coming to help you.

[@dontshitontravelermains5498]

King Of Burgeon (Thoma) and Queen Of Hyperbloom (Kuki Shinobu) are the two characters I think off that would be a great body guard! Like did you see how helpful they are to Inazuma NPC?

[@songsayswhat]

Beidou actually has a talent that gives her more stamina while swimming. Beidou all the way.

[@erieri6326]

Itto would either be an absolute dream in the water, like one of those goofy guys who suddenly does something physically challenging and becomes insanely attractive, or he'll drown himself and the person he was trying to save. No in between

[@SuhaR0310]

Genshin made that real with Xiao in the lantern rite, he saved Traveler from fake drowning that was hilarious 😂

[@CharlotteIsCharlotte]

I just imagine Dori being the life guard and when someone is drowning, Hu Tao comes and tells her: "Hey, if you let this one go, I can give you some mora!"

[@wrenhyperfixates2346]

It’s no surprise that Xiao got so far, he did save the traveler from drowning in the lantern right (well traveler was faking it but yk close enough). I feel like someone else showed up to help too, maybe shenhe? Either way, Beidou totally as lifeguard energy. Maybe she has experience rescuing someone if they fell overboard on her ship 😂

[@raoukhistoires]

Beidou canonically saved Kazuha from drowning bc he fell from the ship lol

[@Senpai_is_Sad]

Kaeya would save you, give you CPR, and as soon as you regain consciousness, he'd wink at you.

[@eherden2169]

Beidou as also the reduced stamina consumption passive. Zhongli might as well not even touch the water he will make solid rock emerge bellow you (but i doubt his CPR skills), while Beidou should have that knowledge and can simulate a Defibrillator with her electro (might die in the process though).

[@savidalu193]

Electro charged is too powerful 😢

[@emmkestrel442]

i feel heizou is like probably really good because of his stupid reliable intuition and probably letting him actually noticing someone about to drown, and drowning isn't that easy to spot, it's actually very quiet.

[@rw_Rawr]

I was a lifeguard for almost a year and 100% beidou, the three most important things for a safety are the speed of the recovery, ability to do cpr (which in this headcanon everyone would have somewhat) and being able to keep victims calm if they’re lucid. Most lifeguard duties involve dealing with little kids getting scrapes so honestly Itto would be up there if he could swim lol just cuz he’d be the cool lifeguard that all the preschoolers trying to drown themselves would love

[@alexia3552]

Your "BLBOGOGPBBOBLPB" drowning sounds are so adorable I love it

[@alejandraruiz5031]

For Kaveh vs Alhaithem, Kaveh would jump in with no hesitation. Even if he was decked out in full beach gear and holding a drink/ice cream. Alhaithem on the other hand wouldn't even blink. (mostly because he knows Kaveh's going to do it because there's no way Alhaithem would even be there without Kaveh obvi)

[@kiuihime]

Bennett just keeps having near death experiences in your videos, poor boy. Also Itto would jump in anyway but just drown with you if he can't swim. I feel like he would be little scared of swimming tho.

[@TriPesto]

Xiao saved us from drowning in 3.4 lantern rite quest

[@bluesapphire170]

I’m relatively certain Scara would come flying, stay above us just out of reach, and the little shit would laugh as we drown.

[@martecoronel]

Yeah, about two minutes in and I already knew your Beidou bias would carry her to victory 🤣

Honestly Beidou and Xiao would make such a good lifeguard team together tbh No one's drowning on their watch

[@Meegeee]

I really love koomaxx's voice impressions lmao

[@Abbyintheboxes]

As a full time indoor lifeguard and aquatics supervisor I feel like Amber and Noelle would be more than qualified for the position. They would go above and beyond to follow by the book, and their teamwork to provide CPR and first aid would be unmatched. Also they would be efficient as hell.

[@Children_of_stars]

I would purposely drown just to be saved by dehya you can’t tell me that her character and design wouldn’t hesitate to save me

[@Ichika_Akari]

Why do i think that cyno would actually help you but before saving you hed just stand infront of you and start telling you dad jokes like "gUeSs wHo fOrGot tO gEt tHe liFegAuRd fLoaTiE, iTs cy-oH-nO! Do yOu gEt iT? YoU'd sAy oH no bUt mY nAmE iS cYno aNd tHerE's a "nO" iN mY nAmE, cyNO" and youd just be drowing in the meantime like "ARE YOU GONNA SAVE ME OR WHAT?" but hed still save you at the end and you wouldnt die

I was constantly thinking about beidou vs kokomi in the lifeguard situation. Beidou has the strenth, AND NOT TO MENTION KOKOMI IS QUICK UNDERWATER AND CAN ALSO WALK ON WATER AS WELL. Have to consider kokomi's feats to her character that could aid her in these situations.

[@blueeye6545]

As a lifeguard, I immediately would pick Beidou too, but it’s also important to consider “preventative lifeguarding”. Who would not let someone put themselves in a dangerous situation in the first place? In that case I would’ve trusted Sara more than Xiao or Beidou.

[@daxdleader719]

Magic aside, Beidou is the perfect lifeguard. She's built for endurance and as a lifeguard thats more important than raw strength (i am a lifeguard btw). That said, if you can teleport, you don’t need endurance.
