    Technically Ei is one of the original Archons since her and her sister ruled together, so if she had the gnosis instead of her sister she would still be the original Archon but since the gnosis changed hands she's considered the second.

      Well, the way I see it goes something like this:
      If the president of a country has a twin who works for him as his private assassin, do you consider the twin the president too? They didn't rule together. Ei just fought all of Makoto's innevitable battles. Once her sister died and she gained the Gnosis, Ei became an archon, The Second Electro Archon.

    We’ve heard it all before, yet the story of the archons, and how they lost their closest friends, is still as tragic as when we learned the story of venti.
    I guess it’s the ways they deal with their losses that makes it sound completely new once again.
    Venti took the form of his long gone friend, so that he may never forget his closest friend to have ever been.
    Zhongli became the living encyclopedia we know today, and dedicated himself to his duty as an archon.
    Ei so far has taken it the worst, I think. She straight up abandoned everything relating to a future, and tortures herself by refusing to move on and reminiscing of the past that never will be again.
    Thinking of this really put her character quest in a different light to me. It wasn’t about how the people view the Raiden Shogun, but it was rather a wake up call to Raiden. She still pursues eternity, but realized that the eternity she seeks is clearly not the right way for her, or anyone, because it’s impossible to go back.

    • @TeyvatHistoria

      Its a little leak acknowlegy, but theres supposedly a book coming wherein Makoto creates Ei, based upon Ei. And that Ei had once before given over her power so that Makoto could rule, thinking her to be better at the job. The Archon of Transience may have at one point given her all to become makotos sword, makoto reforged that sword into Ei as we know her, and she once again, turned herself back into a sword, despite not remembering her having done so in the past.
      Its, a wierdly and maybe fitting cycle for an Archon of both Transience and war.

      @@beashemmad.sayson545 Kinda agree, but I's also not willing to believe some fo the 'fictional' branded stories actually are in a setting with cyclical storytelling and roles.
      If Ei were created, perhaps it may have been with Kitsune saiguu's assistance, and the Yae provided the help and techniques later on for Ei to advance her plans and move forward construction her own bodies [Scara/shogun]. The scrolls did mysteriously appear... and Yae seems to take responsibility and care with Scaramouche as Ei herself implies she does.
      If Saiguu left notes and knowledge, Yae may be the one pulling strings, and fully aware Ei might also have been created and all her ancient friends wanted her to open up, and find her own excitement and reason to live in and enjoy the moments.
      Imo, it's like... Guoba lost his old identity as Marchosius. He was a black slate and an innocent once again and has to start over, but Ei was surrounded by friends and had her sister.
      Character wise: The assessment that Fictional Ei, might find herself lacking and choose to devote her power to helping her sister ascend instead of herself is righteously in keeping with Ei's character. Her knowing it to be denalable and false... is kind of outside of her knowledge.
      You have amnesia!
      I think i would remember that!
      ...
      The closest I have seen to Ei reliably living in the moment of her own volition and initative, is trying to convince traveller to spar with her. Even going so far as to pretend to be the Shogun thinking he might not be able to face her seriously.
      That, unbidden! Conforms to all of her values, It's inside what peoples expectation of her is, so it's allowed.. training with people whose company she likes is something she enjoyes, working to better herself (Growing) and also being considerate of others, putting their feelings before her own... but also being selfishly motivated and, needy?

    This video actually made me appreciate Ei more, unlike other Archons her history for me is much more rich and somehow much more relatable as her being the second body double to Makoto doing the battles that Makoto couldn't do thus making her "The Warrior" that has suffured from great PTSD which affects her decisions later on. Don't get me wrong ZhongLi and Venti also has great history but unlike Ei they both are portrayed as this typical God of Peace or giver of Peace as Ei is portrayed as this true warrior that deviates from the typical Archon personality.

    Zhongli is definitely my favorite. Not just because his English voice is so gorgeous, but also his incredible breadth of knowledge paired with that occasionally painful lack of practical understanding is so amusing. It's strange to contrast his brutish warlord persona from the archon wars with his cultured presentation in the present, but in those moments of "how can someone so learned be so foolish" you can see hints of his historical recklessness.

    My favorite character has to be Kaeya. Despite presenting himself as an open book, he clearly has a mysterious past and his origins seem much more complex than the traveler is led to believe. His possible connections to Khaenri’a and the abyss are fascinating and I hope we get to learn more soon. Even the parts of the past that we do know, such as his estranged relationship with Diluc, reveal a lot about Monstadt’s past and his current motivations. His design is also remarkable considering he’s a free character. Kaeya’s also a crazy fun physical DPS!

Not only does he seem very suspicious about the traveler when meeting them the first time but he also comments about the travelers style of gliding, saying something along the lines that he remembers a similar style of gliding from long ago. 👀 Ahh~ I can't wait for the story to focus on the Abyss again.

He had to fight for a tyrant, and was saved by the god of contracts. He had (probably) to kill the former Yakshas once they succombed to the darkness, an unimaginably painful experience. I can't wait to have more information on his interactions with Venti!!

    Video editing was amazing omg, great job in constantly improving!
    As much as I feel bad for Ei and the loss that has traumatized her, it still doesn't justify her unwillingness to listen to the voices of her people or even her remaining few friends. In my eyes she is very much like a young and naive teenager, selfishly thinking all their problems would be solved if the world around them simply didn't change, she then goes and makes a puppet to govern her nation while she isolates herself- which is a terrible idea for someone who is obviously still mourning the loss of her friends and sister. She lacks the wisdom Makoto had as the face and soul of the 'Electro Archon'.
    A lot of people hate her story quest where we take her out to see present day Inazuma, but I love it! It was what Ei needed! She needed to see with her own eyes how her people are doing, and in a way show how her vision of unchanging eternity is useless and even cruel to both her and her people.
    Ei needs people to challenge her ideals, but they can't do that when she's stuck in her own world so its up to the Traveller because Yae Miko will just do what she's told most of the time and the other Archons just mind their own business. And with the Raiden Shogun being created to stop anyone who threatens her ideal of "Unchanging Eternity" including herself it feels like this will only end in tragedy somehow... Kunikuzushi I'm looking at you specifically.

      The thing with 'unwillingness to the voices of her people' is that... her own subjects lied to her. The Tri-commissions which are supposed to give accurate reports of what happens in Inazuma just hid the fact that the civil war was still raging on and that people were a lot more opposed to the Vision Hunt Decree than she thought. The Kanjou and Tenryou Commissions basically made sure that the 'this situation threatens Eternity = stop current situation'-protocol in the Shogun Puppet never activated. And... the only other person Ei had when she isolated herself was Yae Miko. Everyone else was dead. And Miko didn't seem to try to snap Ei out of it either.

    Such a beautiful video. She has an amazing story. Her tragic losses make her so vulnerable and likeable. Even though she is a fierce warrior, mourning portrays her as a teenager who locks herself away because of how sad she is. She is a relatable and realistic character.

    My favorite character is Xiao. I'm a sucker for a tortured soul. His character design is amazing. I love the color palette they chose for him and his outfit as well. Most of all, I love how he interacts with the traveler and does things for her (I play as Lumine) that he wouldn't do for anyone else. His karmic debt pain has lessened as a result, too. His Japanese VA is also one of my faves from anime.

    4:30 "Transience" was actually Makoto's ideal; exact opposite of eternity/stagnation. When she she died and Ei took over her identity as her kagemusha is when Ei was disillusioned and moved Inazuma toward the ideal of Eternity as a response to all her loss.

    Just like ChaosFlute, my favorite character is Zhongli for the same reasons - the quirky combination of a gentle, high-society living encyclopaedia and brutal warlord.
    Also, he is the relentless enforcer of contracts, but, whenever he gets the opportunity, he is very conpassionate, as Havria's story shows: he took her refugees in without asking anything in return or even signing a contract with them. They needed shelter, he gave it to them. Her descendents even get away with insulting him on His face!

    Makoto, Sasayuri, Chiyo and Saiguu all met a painful death. Which led to Ei too afraid of making new friends, cause she would be scared to lose them too. Imagine if the Traveler befriended her he died at the end, would that be terrifying enough a thought for Ei too ? 😢

    Wonderful video, great job with the visuals especially. My current favorite character is actually Thoma, even though he’s not quite out yet. His role in fighting the vision decree and saving the traveler, for starters. but the wholesomeness of the hot pot scene along with all of his hangout events (I cried laughing at the cats and dogs with sweaters ending!) just makes my heart happy.
    Second would be Zhongli, because the juxtaposition of his current persona, being wise, logical, and calm vs his ancient history of war, domination, and unrelenting punishment for those who break contracts (think the Sal Tarrae character quest) is absolutely fascinating. It shows not just character development, but flashes of who he used to be, in conjunction with his power to both protect and destroy. As if protecting (jade shield) is who he is now but destroying (meteor) are his present and past respectively. I love this game’s lore so much, so I love watching your channel!

  • @kimlol5547

    Kazuha is my favorite character ! His lore is really interesting, it's just different from others (despite losing his friend). The fact he fled Inazuma to Liyue is so interesting. When I watched his trailer, I found his voice so soothing as well !! His character design is really different as well. Looking at the other Inazuman characters' outfit designs, they're nothing like Kazuha's. The fact that Kazuha has a bandage on his right hand because he burnt his hand whilst holding the vision is so cool.

    Awesome video as always Teyvat Historia was able to grasp the depth behind Ei and her strange ways... I personally loved the Inazuma Archon quest and it is true certain parts were a bit told instead of shown, but in the end there was just too much to say to fit in the 3 act parts format. We can discover the rest slowly as we keep exploring the lore of Inazuma...

  • @axilluri3308

    My favorite character is Childe, first of all, his design is amazing and sleek, really showing his battle prowess off through his clothing. His personality is one that shows friendliness with hidden intentions behind it and we see that in the Archon quest. His training in the abyss and his moves that correlate with the Abyss herald have a sense of mystery surrounding them. Can't wait to see his story continue in the future. Also Griffin Burns is an amazing voice actor for Childe.

I can relate with no character more, as I totally resonate with pushing yourself to total exhaustion for the good of yourself and others. I also love her play style in the game, with massive bow damage and a crazy fun burst as well. Also, ties to the moon are dope, and her plenilune gaze constellation makes one of my favorite connections to her character design.

    @stephendragon6212 2 года назад

    Love the video. Raiden has a place in my heart since I can relate much to her attitude of seeking to escape the grasp of marching time and progress. Though a lot of people didn't like her story quest since it wasnt epic like venti or zhongli but more of a dating simulator, I appreciate the fact that the story focused on sending her back to reality and becoming more acquainted with the present Inazuma. At last, she has finally learned to give her divine gaze as Yae Miko suggested. What her people really needed from her was her warmth and support.
    For my favorite, Rosaria. she was brought up by thieves who killed her family. She was given a new life by Varka. Out of gratitude, she protects Mondstat from the shadows. I hope they give her a hangout soon and give more lore. She's like that intimidating and irritating friend that's lowkey loving and kind.

    My favorite is Yoimiya. She's fun, lively, lives for her passion and takes care of everyone. Underrated story quest too. The best bit was seeing how silent she fell when it was finally time to see the fruits of her labor. As a creator who sees long term benefits and beauty of transient occurrences, she's kind of both a compliment and a foil to Ei's ideology.

  • @iMeg_

    My most best favorite character in the whole lore/game is Ei-chan definitely, not Raiden Shogun, but Ei-sama herself. Electro is my favorite element in the game regardless the weird inconsistent DMG; Inazuma weirdly is the saddest lore so far in the game--my masochist heart; and Raiden Ei is the freaking Archon... she's the freaking electro God with human nature (flaws everywhere) who also happens to make people sad and frustrated, but still lovable.
    My second best fave is Ningguang.

I benched her for I think 3, 4 months? Only when the thought of having a 2nd main for abyss did I start to build her. I started to play her more and more till one day I realize I've fallen inlove with her. Her unique sprint, big PP dmg and even her voicelines I found cheeky in the past I think it's cute now.
