Also more proof Venti really didn’t care about his gnosis: He can teleport, it was literally the first thing we saw him do. If he wanted to save his gnosis, couldn’t he just, y’know, teleport away?

But how did a computer win against a human with specific moves installed, you ask.

You know... what you said basically confirms few things: 1. Bronya is Tsaritsa. If you played Honkai, you should know that Bronya cared about Wendy a lot. Sure it ended tragically but still. 2. Columbina is Seele. Seele in Honkai is someone Bronya cares a lot, there's no way Bronya would miss a chance to turn her into Harbinger. 3. Signora is probably Cocolia. Her design is similar and let's face it. If Bronya is Tsaritsa then just like Wendy/Venti and Seele/Columbina she should be nearby too 4. Since Columbina is Seele then it makes sense that Childe calls her dangerous. Seele is a nice girl. But her alter ego, Veliona is often really violent. Maybe that's the case with Columbina too.

I find it funny how the Traveler, the Archons, the Fatui, _and_ the Abyss Order _all_ have a common enemy in Celestia. In addition, you have connections between the factions such as the Tsaritsa being both the leader of the Fatui and the Cryo Archon, Pierro being from Khaenri'ah like the Abyss Order, and the Traveler's sibling also linking them to the Abyss Order on top of their alliance with the Archons. Ultimately these factions disagree on _how_ and _why_ to go after Celestia, but they still retain that common goal.

Whereas Ei (knight), on the other hand had been a real gamer since years, decided to kill signora (pawn) to maintain her eternity which keeps Inazuma closest to the heavenly principals, in a way supporting celestia, and hence, successfully taking the fatui bait (knight captures pawn) and ruining all chances of celestia to win.

[@jordanmayne2270]

it really was weird how easily venti was overpowered by signora. Sure he mightve been one of the weakest archons at the time, but hes still yk..

[@yama8124]

I wonder if the switching of king and queen also related to the story. We know the abyss sibling had traveled the world once, so maybe the original board was the actual situation of the sibling in their journey. Maybe instead of Fatui, it's the Khaenriah against Celestia, and they got defeated (computer won), so the abyss intervene the game by making the king and queen switch position in the rematch between Fatui and Celestia.

[@bangbangsomni]

I always thought it was weird when zhongli willingly gave away his gnenosis. Same thing with venti, although he was in a weakened state he still could've clapped Signora like, I was shocked he got beat the shit out of like that imo. Like the archons are still op as hell without their gnenosis. Yeah and I also think the tatritsa is not amongst the black side in open sight, I mean she's still one of the archons, wouldn't celestia dethrown her or kill her if she was amongst the opposite side. But it's still weird since like obviously she runs the fatui, the gang who brings unnecessary chaos along with the dumbest gang; the abyss.

[@HoloUniversee]

I think that the black side represents Khaenriah and the abyss, as they are both against Celestia and know the truth. Tsaritsa is also brainwashed like Ei was with the fatui

[@Junirules360]

Celestia probably sees Gods and their nations as separate entities i mean look at khanriah it had no god so it was basically a lost cause to them whilist snezhnaya is still ruled by an archon giving it a pretty good reason to be safe Quick side note: you could easily say that golds experiments are the reason for celestias attack during the cataclysm but dont forget that the fatui have basically been doing the same thing with archon residue through dottore and on top of that the creatures that gold made still exist either showing they come from another dimension or they have a large colony or lastly perhaps celestia simply doesnt care about them

[@seiku8338]

''the archons are still op as hell without their gnosis'' the gnosis is not even a source of power so they wont get weakened even a little without a gnosis. And abyss is not the dumbest gang dude, its pretty mysterious that we don't even know about the prime figures from the abyss order so far other than dansleif. Im pretty sure abyss will more or less turn out to be a bigger surprise at the end of the game's story, remember the people of khanraeyiah were the one which even the celestia feared and decided to destroy it with an all out war using the seven archons where several gods died in the war.

[@SoulHydron]

@@seiku8338 when zhongli gave up his gnosis he said he wpuldnt be able to create mora. Also azhdaha could sense he was weaker and wasnt the geo archon anymore. If gnosis didn't have anything to do with power why would tsaritsa be collecting them?

[@madmantheepic7278]

[@user-pe9lq9zb4u]

I already know that the two original archons are betraying against Celestia but the FACT that during Venti's cut scene where his braids didn't glow compared to when he uses his skill or burst indicates that he was just pretending is SUCH ANOTHER DETAIL FOR HOYOVERSE GOOD JOB REALLY

[@huansong]

also this isnt the first time they did with the light detail so pretty much that animation wasnt a mistake. in the earliest events of genshin when there's meteor's dropping that makes people sick/hallucinating/dreaming, everytime a character was near one of those rock/meteor, their vision lighten up. so yeah what im trying to say is that Venti's braids not lighting up was on purpose and he literally didnt really try to fight back at all.

[@nathanpapp432]

His braids dont glow when he teleports away when we first meet him. Id be curious if they glow at ANY time other that his burst animation.

Zhongli was an adeptus, and god, from the start and had ties to celestia. But, Venti, he started out as a wind spirit, little more than a slight breeze. Combine that with his fight against decarabian, statements about not knowing the type of person the Tsaritsa is now, and the special attention to the traveler. I think Venti has his own plans. Venti is also on good terms with Yae, and he could have been the one to orchestrate the actions in Inazuma.

The ideal of Tsaritsa's revolution against Celestia is apparently coming to the two archon's(Barbatos & Morax) realization. That 'ideal' is why Venti did hold back and Zhongli made a contract with her majesty in the first place. That 'ideal' might be aligned to Khaenri'ah's, that is why there is Pierro who is a Khaenri'ahn (seemingly).

Also wouldn't the archons goals line up with the Tsaritsa/Fatui? Venti believes in freedom which definitely doesn't seem possible if ruled over by Celestia. Zhongli believes in a new era of humans not archons. And with Ei "conveniently" realizing that the people don't need protection or eternity, her goal would also line up with rebelling against Celestia. Even though she definitely seems like the type to follow orders, with the way she could've been set up by Yae Miko and the Fatui she would realize that her eternity would not benefit her people.

[@wildwindguy5433]

I know this is for the fun and all, But I would still like to give my opinions on some of the theories mentioned in the above video. 1)Zhongli is the god of contracts and in order for him to test out how much Liyue has grown, he had made the contract with the Fatui so him giving the gnosis is justifiable. 2)Yea Miko is cunning and perceptive enough to know the things which will harm inazuma also considering the fact that she is more than 500 years old. She must have also kept a close eye on Scaramouche because Ei had abandoned him. 3)I also believe that all archons are now wary of celestia and want a revolution and thus are supporting the Tsaritsa from the sidelines. These are my opinions so please don't take them personally. I also loved how Wei connected the Fatui chessboard 1996 one.

[@God_abandoned_us_all]

Yae isn't that capable, she is responsible for making Scaramouche become what he is today. Basically when he turned for help to her when his ill friend was dying, she refused/waited with help too long so in result his friend death. It could be easily prevented if she sent any physician, but she didn't do that. She is probably the worst person from all playable characters(yes even when compared to Tartaglia), she manipulates people who are insecure and shy for her own entertainment and doesn't care if it will be harmful or even life threatening in Itto's example. But the funniest thing is that she isn't that smart as people like to think, someone like Keaya or Diluc is level above her in that regard. In Inazuma she has little to no real competition with people who are mostly traumatised with loss of their visions, but even there are those who would outsmart her like Heizou, Ayato, Kokomi or those who just wouldn't care about her bullshit like Kazuha or Kuki.

She regularly overuses her position of power to bully and tease traumatised people of Inazuma to level it can be life threatening , she didn't do anything about the state of Inazuma for 500 years before traveler arrived, like really nothing, she didn't support her friend during grief what resulted in collapse of Inazuma, she left fatui do whatever they wanted in Inazuma, she didn't even watch him and most importantly she is one of most important people in making Scaramouche break bad, in consequence making him become 6th fatui harbinger who became world level threat.

I’ve thought that Venti and Zhongli were secretly supporting Tsarita’s plan against Celestia for a while. In the Chasm quest we saw the Fatui working with Liyue to investigate something to do with the Cataclysm, siting their common enemy well away from the gaze of Celestia. Even Childe unleashing the sea God, would make those looking on from Celestia think that Zhongli and Tsarita are at war with each other. I also think that Varka, was sent to the Cryo Archon’s land to assist with something. We know that Alice left because she said that the borders of Teyvat had become unstable, and from what we know Varka, and all Mondstat’s strongest fighters are in Cryo Archon’s domain, yet there’s no open declaration of an invasion. The Fatui diplomats are still hanging out in Mondstat despite Varka’s expedition and Signora taking the Gnosis. Also we know from Diluc’s new outfit quest, he traveled the world for a while and just so happened to end up with a Fatui outfit, somehow. Very sus, considering that the Fatui Delusions killed his father, so why would he wear one of their outfits and what is the mysterious organization that he is a part of? There’s definitely something suspicious going on.

[@MisticHD.]

You overdone your theory mate, Diluc's new skin is his old Knight's of Favonius outfit. Nothing "sus" here. And he is not a part of any secret organizations he is literally Mondstadt's Batman with fire powers. He IS the secret organization.

[@notmaylea]

@@MisticHD. From Diluc's Character Story: "The Fatui's rulers, the Harbingers, monitored Diluc's progress from the shadows. The prowess with which he laid waste to numerous Fatui strongholds caught their attention and forced them to take action. Diluc narrowly escaped death at the hands of the Harbingers thanks to a third-party observer from the north, who was part of a vast underground intelligence network. The observer claimed to have been watching Diluc for some time, and approved of his methods. After his close encounter with death, Diluc took a long hard look at his past and the anger he had harbored for so long. Acknowledging his shortcomings, he decided to join the underground intelligence network. Just like when he first joined the Knights of Favonius, Diluc committed himself fully to his work. His talents and skills saw him rise steadily through the ranks into the upper echelons of the network. The network was made up of volunteers, and many of its members had willingly given up their prior positions and reputations to join. Some had even abandoned their names."

[@notmaylea]

@@MisticHD. he for sure is part of a secret organization ^^ remember in the Mondstat archon quest, it only took him a little time to follow the trails of the Fatui and their hideout. Paimon made remarks about how efficient and fast he gets a hold of information. What I'm unsure of though is where this society is from (it says from the north, Mondstat is also called the "Crown of the North". Kreuzlid, a traitor from the Lawrence Clan, established an underground society to help the people rebell against the aristocrats' tyranny 1000 years ago, Rostam the "Wolf Pup" is hinted to have inherited this organization). What I initially thought is this organization is the same as the one in Diluc's story. Maybe even Kaeya is part of it? He says he has dealings with the "black market" and he has informants, but who knows maybe the current leader of the organization is Kaeya the sus lord lol.

It was very obvious from the beginning that the Archons we know so far have bad experience with cataclysm and want to cut their connection to celestia. Venti not resisting against signora (according to himself he us the weakest among the archons but STILL he is a god) Zhongli easily giving away his gnosis in a contract and Ei giving her gnosis to Miko...all indicating that the Archons are not on celestia's side. (Also something that from the beginning of the game that bothers me is that wherever we go the fatui is there as well. Any region we step into and meet the archon, the fatui is there to take their gnosis. Couldn't they start from a different nation to collect the gnoses? Which makes the wholle "at the end of the journey" more suspicious. As if fatui is also on the journey with us.) Edit: when i first started the game and didn't know much i thought that tsaritsa and traveller's sibling work togather cause they both want to rebel again celestia but then tartaglia said even tge fatui doesn't have a good relationship with the abyss i still suspect that even if they don't work togather there must be a connection between the two. Especially considering adventure guild is based in Snezhnaya

[@katitobyt]

We definitely need an updated version of this because it's so interesting after we've seen Raidens gnosis. It turns out to be a bishop, which is pretty interesting. The knight could've been Tsaritsa herself. She moved away from Celestia (king) and was (technically) responsible for killing Signora.

[@charlieianzo5513]

I mean technically, the traveller somehow influenced both sides to fight on. But ig it wouldn't be superstitious for all archons going against Celestia along with the Fatui. They weren't willing to "interfere" in the chess games, other than Raiden Shogun having needed to be deceived by the Fatui to bring about the Vision Hunt Decree and the Execution of Signora. Imagine the traveller being the "time limit" of it all, then being the very indication of whether the Fatui or Celestia wins.

When i saw how you captioned the heavenly principles as celestia it just made me remember of the first cutscene with the women, like where you had to chose your traveler.

All of the Khan'riah characters are from there, the only mobs except slimes & treasure hoarders are from Khan'riah, the Spiral Abyss is in Monstadt The dead dragon Durin is in Mondstadt The original Field Tiller - MONDSTADT Why is the Abyss Order so attached to Mondstadt?

Venti's a wild card since Celestia is visible from Mondstadt even with his Gnosis taken, Zhongli was probably fed up with Celestia as he does have a contract with an unknown party to keep the events of Khaen'riah a secret (most likely Celestia), the Tsaritsa wanting his Gnosis is probably convenient for him as it will help Liyue break away from Celestia without forcing him to destroy the nation he governed Ei couldn't use the Gnosis so it's basically pointless for her to keep it On another note, our goal as the Traveler is to meet with all 7 archons to find out what happened with our twin to make him/her join the abyss, the battle of Fatui vs Celestia isn't really our concern unless: We are forced into the conflict (Childe during the Rite of Decension, supporting the Resistance since Ei's puppet tried to one-shot us) Celestia is involved in our sibling's fall to the abyss, which is very likely due to Khaen'riah I do suspect we may end up collaborating with the Fatui at some point, Celestia hasn't helped their case by offing several other beings: Orobachi/Orobazi Guizhong Rukkhadevata(?) Makoto may have also stumbled upon the truth by accident during Khaen'riah's collapse, combining that knowledge with her interpretation of Eternity would be ample reason to have her silenced

It would make sense for all these betrayals and misinformation since all the ones we know (archons, tsaritsa, abyss and the fatui) want to rebel against Celestia, and in order to do that, they just fake a superficial conflict to don't raise any suspicion but in deep they are all working together (or making agreements) to get them closer to Celestia's fall. And considering what you said in previous videos about the current Celestia being a fake one, it would make sense even more for them to rebel against it. And some other proof that they are or might be working together is that despite not being what they once were, the archons still have a lot of power and could destroy the fatui and tsaritsa at any given moment if they want, but they purposely did nothing for a reason, and I just simply thought they didn't care, but now it's all coming togheter.

[@ntrspecialist1304]

As theory on Honkai from the very early 2020, Celestia might have a technology that disconnect itself from Imaginary Tree, or rather, regulate to an insignificant amount to the point it looks like a miniscule fungi. Not only causing Honkai to not come to the world, but also use it's own *GAME* in return of lack understanding of way beyond the universe. Celestia is a system, replacement of Will of Honkai or Imaginary Tree. Celestia produce these energies, to help civilization to advance yet if humanity rebel or don't follow the algorithm set by Celestia and advance too much that it would attract the *real law* they would send imitations of Herrschers or whatever name since Herrscher only exist in 2 world concept, it might have different name in other worlds with different powers depends on their science advancement. But in Genshin, Archons are imitations of the apostles of god that sent to destroy humanity. But rather than destroy, since they are imitations, they become regulators of humanity to control them well and not cause rebellion again. This sounds similar to Stigmata Terminal of GGZ but it isn't, just an analogy, any kind of relations that you would tell to me or others just because i used it as a analogy is cope, as a 9 year Honkai veteran, i repeat, it's an analogy, not an actual comparison, if you are coping too much, you would look ridiculous along with your Celestia against Alaya, Mana and Femirins. It's just analogy, Stigmata Terminal is a whole new level that if somewhere in certain universe was abused greatly, it can mass produce an army of Herrscher of the End

I see, no wonder celestia wiped khaenriah out

Soo this theory gives birth to the question, what if the siblings were the (imitations of) Herrschers that was there to destroy Celestia? Maybe it was a desicion made by them or from a Honkai organization (wouldn't be surprised of MOTH & such),but it makes sense that Khanriahn people were the ones who called/alarted them no matter what. We know that Celestia's gods tolerated Khanriah for thousands of years and the thing that brought Cataclysm was the last drop which made them destroy the nation and curse its people. There isn't any reason a being (that looks like Sirin, just like other archons) who calls herself the "suspender of Heavenly principles" would try hurt outlanders who is just travels the universe. She even said that their journey ends, which emplies that she knew what and why they were there for, but our question is what exactly was their "target" in that journey? Why would they had a suspender of Celestias rules show up infront of them? Why would they got separated, got their powers taken away if they weren't there to hurt anyone, right? (Bonus questions; why'd the other sibling who traveled through Teyvat would pick sides with Abbys? Why are they getting called princess/prince by ex Khanriahns?) And no I'm not finished here, I'd like to add more to make sense. There's a theory that Rhinedottir made Albedo and his copies based off from a godly being -the traveler. It's better to look up into theory videos for this one. Though if Rhinedottir knew them, it means Alice & majorty of Khaenriahns knew them too.

Here’s something interesting I thought of, The Jester, according to his lore came from a once ruin land, to which a lot of people are suspecting it’s Khanri’ah. The two main enemy factions we’ve been facing are the abyss order and the fatui, the leader of the harbingers is potentially a survivor of Khanri’ah, what if Pierro is secretly working with the abyss order to destroy celestial? The Tsarista hasn’t been seen once, could it be possible she’s being held captive and Pierro is pulling the strings? It’s a bit out there, but then you might ask where is the gnosis for the cryo archon? Pierro’s waiting till all of them are gathered to reveal the final one, being the Cryo gnosis or he may very well already have it and is keeping it hidden for now.

I was watching the entire video seriously when the two bald archons appeared 🤣 Thanks for the laugh and greatly enjoyed this theory. Another sub here.

I love how wei puts ads at the funny parts

[@thearchitect9386]

i was super on the fence about the yae colluding with the fatui part until i remembered this one world quest in inazuma where a fatui mage secretly starts working at the narukami shrine in disguise, gets outed, gets defeated, almost leaves inazuma after major character development until we work out something with the person she was in disguise of, and the mage is allowed to continue working at the shrine even after being outed. but yae knew about her too- there were even hints that yae knew about her real identity the whole time she was there

I love this theory and how their every move connect to the chessboard. You keep blowing my mind each time ! Huge props to u

[@karinabatumbakalnaevissmit7637]

The Story in Inazuma if you focus on Yae Miko you already know that She know everything from the start "I have high hopes from you child, don't disappoint me" which gives the conclusion that she know what will happen.

Wei according to a quest in sumeru with the aranara’s its said that khanrea is underground. Also that under mondstat is the gate to celestia. Ever thought the fake celestia thats in the sky destroyed khanrea quote on quote but was actually celestia under the primordial one 🤔

Still one of the greatest Genshin theory vids ever made

[@gargigaikwad6239]

I loved the last pt analysis Where venti was faking it Very underrated and impressive

[@captain6391]

fun thing I wanted to mention: Queen piece, Venti's piece, has the most freedom. But besides that, I know its a known fact that Venti is weaker than the other archons but I always found it weird that Signora got his Gnosis so easily. Venti could have done so much more than just stand there and blow some wind.

Like sometimes in chess people sacrifice their queen for checkmate

6:40 the zoom made me laugh so hard lmfao, ggs on your editing skills

[@BlueberryCheesecake03]

[@yourlocalheww]

These theories are so good i’ll be dissapointed if the lore isn’t like this💀

[@lilpotoo]

An ad for chicken nuggets popped up when you said “take a look at this” 💀

[@princessamielle2563]

signora: who knew i would be this stupidly helpful

[@ZE.brigitte]

10:40 This is the best thing so far, Ei going out for da Dango Milk only for Kazuha to take it

[@gunjitkumar]

13:16 That social credit archon insert was amazing

[@Anonymous__S]

Even without Yae Miko not actively cooperating with the Fatui the theory is duable. And I think she helped the traveler not because she was told by the Fatui, but because she's the god of omnipresence. She knows everything that happens as lojg as the Narukami Shrine Sakura Tree's (which is totally hers by now) roots reach to the place. And those roots are shown, meaning she could see what was happening and get there. This doesn't necessarily contradict the theory since through her actions we can see Yae Miko only really cares about Ei so Pierro could have just taken advantage of that to make her move.

So all this time I was hating on Hoyoverse's bad writing on Yae Miko's role in the Inazuma archon quest, but I was just stupid enough not to realize that it was deliberately hinting at a genius plot twist. Man, what a nice day to be alive at the same time as Wei the Great
