Its going to be so sad once he is released, has his little story and quest and he is not some crazy important god-like character. Because this man was the center of so many whacky theories over the years. From the actual dendro archon, god of woods, fatui harbinger and secret vishap man, this green guy was everything
It’s like when people thought the character Cecil Baldwin from Nightvale voice acted in Gravity Falls was gonna be another Bill Cipher, but was literally was just for a single cutaway joke.
There’s no way he’ll be a normal character like tighnari for example who’s just some forest watcher. There has to be something more to him, like having connections with the adepti or even is one himself. If he’s just a normal dude I’ll be really mad
Yeah, just like Kazuha's friend because he also has a lot of mystery and consequently a lot of theories because of the details about him that only observant people notice and know (don't give me the excuse that he's dead because that just makes the mystery he left behind even more intriguing) I don't think Baizhu is normal, and since he's from Liyue, come on, it'll be something cool.
I feel another funny thing about Baizhu being super similar to Dottore and Pantalone is they just have the "dead mom hair" trope but it's the "Morally sus man" hair instead.
I have a theory that the reason is Pantalone is a parallel to Baizhu's goal in achieving immortality to an extent. Idk much about Pantalone but he seems remarkably human compared to his fellow Harbingers. Unless he was a recent addition that swiftly rose rank due to his "wealth," it'd be hard to believe he isn't dabbling in smth that allows for him to live for ages beyond a mortal's reach. With all of his wealth in both mora, info and connections, if anyone could garner followers to look into a more human-friendly way of obtaining immortality, he could probably do it. This is just speculation in how i imagine his ideals might be like. Maybe he's one of the rare people who wouldn't want to live an insanely long life but you never know.
@@sundalosketch4769 oh come on, its just anime thing, the character have same face and a lil bit similarity on hair. Its time to buried all those conspiracy theory about baizhu.
@@harfi212 Aw come on, theories are supposed to be fun lil guesses and speculations made with limited info! It doesn't have to be correct. I find it a joy to think about stuff like this, it sparks imagination!
Baizhu has been featured in more and more Liyue stories and cinematics, so I'm hoping his official release is not too far off! I've been team Baizhu ever since he was originally unveiled back in the day. I never thought I'd have to wait this long.
I honestly adore him. When he said “if it isn’t Miss Yanfei. Now that’s an even rarer honour! What business brings you here might I inquire. Some charlatans peddling infectious medicine again no doubt” LIKE I HAVE IT MEMORISED ITS SO ICONIC AND 💅
Tbh him being a healer or a ,bleeding’ damage dealing character would be very on point Like the wolves mobs giving you the hp loss effect that would be cool for him as well ah healing teammates but maybe unable to heal himself lol
Another fact about the child that Xu and Bai have is the child was a reincarnated deity. Sent as a reward to Bai. However there was a misguided monk that relentlessly pestered and even got poor Bai sealed. Xu was devastated. The child grew up a successful businessman and scholar, able to free his sealed mother from her seal. The family lived happily afterwards. 🥰🐍🌿
@@chtcat. I think that's case with Regrator/Pantalone too. Question is Changsheng an adeptus, vishap, or Oroboshi's daughter? I'm unsure. But Baizhu definitely is Dr.Xu, Bai's husband.
Being in the Akademiya Baizhu has probably been all over the place, so maybe he accidentally got exposed to a disease while researching, much like how Faruzan ended up being trapped in a puzzle and had her time stopped during that time. My best guess as to what he might have been exposed to is maybe the plague from Gurabad? (I haven't read everything yet so I'm not sure about that) My other idea is that he might have something that will add more lore to the story, perhaps something close to Honkai Sickness. The symptoms are infection patterns, loss of eyesight, trouble breathing, zombification, infection of the organs systems, and fatigue, this happens when the person has been in contact with honkai beasts or honkai energy. The Genshin version might happen due to exposure to the abyss, Childe fell down into the abyss as a kid so its possible that Baizhu might have been exposed to a high dosage of it or perhaps he was exposed to archon residue. Either way I can imagine he would be interested in the Traveler if he ever finds out about them, since their immortal. Not only were they around 500 years ago but according to the fortune teller in Sumeru, they will be around for thousands of years, Traveler appears to have all of the pros of immortality with zero cons unlike Qiqi whose forgetful and needs to stretch to prevent rigor mortis.
I think the sussiest thing about Baizhu is that he is a Liyue character who has obvious clothing design elements from Sumeru. Like why??? That has yo mean something
He even holds a Sumeru Rose in his most recent appearance in the teaser trailer about last Lantern Rite. _(The clip shown a few times in the vid, but most notably __6:30__ paused)_ Out of all the herbs he could've been messing with, they went with that.
i think baizhu to changsheng is more like the green snake to white snake rather than xu xian?? i mean he does have a lot of snake motifs in his design, even has reptile eyes and he is green lol. maybe similarly to the legend changsheng saved him in the past or is rather actively keeping him alive because she's somehow able to suppress his illness until baizhu finds the recipe to immortality or whatever. idk their relationship is just so interesting and precious to me, and i want to spread my reptilian baizhu agenda. oh also, in most versions of the legend the green snake becomes a deity. which is. immortality, godhood - kind of the same thing to me.
Great timing with the video! Just a few hours ago Baizhu's drip marketing was released! 😀He is indeed a very interesting and mysterious character! I still can't get over the fact that he looks SO MUCH like Pantalone! Excited for his character and especially his weapon. He looks like a catalyst user, but somehow everybody looks like a catalyst user to me! 😆
i think changsheng could have a snake (maybe even an Adeptus) on the verge of it and while trying to save it baizhu own lifeforce got transferred to it causing him to have a weak constitution and setting him on the path to becoming a doctor though i would really love it if hoyo actually made him a dottore clone lol
Modern day medical institutions using the caduceus is actually something of a mistake. The Greek symbol of health was the Rod of Asclepios, which only had one snake. The caduceus is Hermes' symbol.
the Caduceus is the symbol for Hermes I think you're mixing it up with the rod of Asclepius a demigod who was so skilled at medicine he brought people back from the dead
I wanted him to be the former dendro archon who almost died during the kaenhriah war and went into hiding so baddd 😩 but i'm so excited for whatever he has to offer
To me, Baizhu it's not human. Since he's wearing the red eye makeup that only non human characters are using (Yae miko, Sacara, Xiao, Ganyu, Zhong Li, Itto, etc), it's a pattern that I see. Also, his mention on Chasm quest with the milileth army 500 years ago. No human can live that long. I think he was human long ago, he attended Sumeru Academia (since he has some sumeru influence in his desing) and hyv knows how, he became weak, but with a longer spawn (maybe for experimenting on himself? That's why he's so talented on medicine?). While going back to Liyue due to his condition, the cataclysm happened and he found Chansheng. Then he found Qiqi, while looking for adeptus stuff or residue. Other thing that seams sus it's that Zhong li, a living library of Liyue and his people, doesn't know him. Even tho Baizhu may have +500 years.
Great video! Thanks for putting things together concisely. Information about characters or places tend to be scattered through Genshin lore, and you did a great job at stitching them together. I have a few theories about Baizhu myself, with one of them relating to Pantalone as well. One of them is also based on leaks, so if you don't want to know about that then be warned. 1. Baizhu is Pantalone's brother or relative, and perhaps Pantalone paid Dottore to find a way to cure him of a sickness. I'm thinking about Dori and her sibling. If you haven't heard that story, she loves earning mora so she can make sure she can afford any medicine her family needs. She was poor when she was young and her family couldn't afford the medicine her sister needed. I wonder if Pantalone might have been in a similar situation. Instead of being cured, Baizhu's situation could have worsened and perhaps he left in search of his own solution rather than enduring any more torture from Dottore. 2. This one is my attempt at explaining the Sumeru influences in his clothing. I'm pretty sure Apep is coming in the next patch as a boss. In the Dirge of Bilqis questline, Liloupar mentions that the wenut are "children of Apep", who in Egyptian mythology was a snake god - I expect Apep in Genshin to look like a snake since the wenut are basically snakes. According to the leaks, he is a serpent. And according to the description of the Apep's Resort area, the wenut used to be intelligent beings but they lost their wit somehow. I wonder, could Baizhu be one of these "children of Apep"? It seems too likely to be a coincidence since this area with Apep, who is affiliated with snakes, is coming out in the next patch with Baizhu, who is also affiliated with snakes. But this is a reach, I digress.
Exactly!! (About your first theory) Yes!! I mean, with all the theories I myself have in my head about how Baizhu could be related to Pantalone, this is very interesting! Because, what’s really funny about this is how you explained Dori’s origins for her love for mora and this immediately brought be back to Pantalone’s past !!… If you didn’t know, we learn about Pantalone in Yelan’s story quest and, turns out, Pantalone family was extremely poor in his childhood, which made life awful for them. And so, he always envied those who had mora and could achieve great things in life because of it. (Now, I don’t remember for sure what happened between his childhood and now, but I’ll link a video I found explaining everything about Pantalone that is explaining all this is great detail!!) Anyway, what I remember is that at some point in his life, something happened that made completely get out of poverty, even making him extremely rich and even more driven my his desire for mora and his goals. … Now… isn’t this interesting considering the fact that that the Northern’s bank, said to be the most powerful bank in all of Teyvat and who is also owned by the Fatui is located is located in Liyue? This isn’t confirmed in the game (I really don’t think so), but it is very likely to me that Pantalone might be the actual creator and owner of the bank. And… well… this even adds more suspicion around Baizhu now if we consider him having any sort of connection with the Fatui, and especially Pantalone! … Also, this part is now purely based on my observations but, after 2.7 or 2.8’s (I THINK*) release, or at some point around that time, Baizhu’s voice got redirected: the same VA but now his voice sounded way more "wavy" and shady, mysterious… (extremely reminiscent of Pantalone’s way of talking to me..!) What’s more : The Fatui teaser "Interlude" showing Pantalone for the first time dropped the one patch after- Anyway, here’s the link to the Pantalone lore video I mentioned earlier! : ruclips.net/video/wV0QJh2OT8M/видео.html But whatever we end up learning in the future, we’re definitely getting somewhere with thinking Baizhu and Pantalone (and maybe even the Fatui like Dottore as you mentioned here) might be related somehow! 😭
I thought the intertwined swirls were a reference to the Caduceus symbol- two snakes intertwined around a staff, topped with wings, which is one of two snake-themed symbols of medicine. Glancing at its meaning was more a rabbit-hole than I remembered it being, but has a 5,000 year history.
When you started to say about the doctor I went “No- NO” and the parallel thing with Hu Tao and Yae Miko then I thought of Samsara… times continue…same thing happened again and again….. After the travail end we lore enthusiasts might gone mad like Sumeru scholars.
I love Baizhu and your theories are possible but you failed to mention that he has a LOT of patterns related to Enkonomiya and the vishaps. Overall good video eheh
One thing I just found out today (bc Im too lazy to read in game, instead I read character lore wiki whenever I want to lmao): appearantly yelan has to disguise herself everytime she goes to bubu pharmacy and she had some history with the fatui (namely she stole the fur of a beast which i think belonged to pantalone or was supposedly brought to him) sooo Ive read a lot of baizhu/pantalone theories and am not entirely convinced but after finding out about this the situation just gets more sus imo
Basically The Legend of the White Snake is a white snake (BFFs with a green snake) fell in love with a human man. And a old dude named Fahai is a hater and want to tear them apart and he did he sealed the white snake under a pagoda. There are many versions of what happened next.
In Chinese mythology basically all beings can ultimately gain a human form if they train or ‘cultivate’ enough for many years (like hundreds of years or more usually) and gain enough power. The longer they spend training they are more powerful
it's interesting how prevalent eye's are when it comes to baizhu and pantalone pantalone: has three pairs of eye like symbols on his turtleneck getting thinner as they descend he keeps his eyes closed wears glasses was never able to obtain a 'vision' (I doubt theres any links between his inability to obtain a vision and actually having poor vision but who knows) one of his rings looks like a stylised eye baizhu: has snake like pupils whereas changsheng has human like pupils wears glasses has a vision (once again might not be relevant) And then of course you have the general similiarities between their designs which you already pointed out though one tiny thing i noticed was that another one of pantalones rings looks like the cross pattern on either side of baizhu's chest which im sure is just a simple coincidence. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some kind of relationship between the two though as they do look scarily similar
Watch Baizu be a catalyst user that also uses Snake Dendro like abilities of the other weapons. Venom strike how Claymore snakeskin sword Cobra Claymore blade and Anaconda pearl like catalyst
I want to see what you think about this.... What happens if Pantalone is his twin? With Pantalone having so much money, it would make sense as to why Baizhu's shop is the best :D all the funding :D
My brother was like that we gone help baizhu w sum in his story quest at which point his illness will catch up to him (speculated from his drip marketing description where it's stated that he can save many but not himself) and the next patch being his funeral 💀
i also found his parellels to chiron (the master healer who could not heal himself and gave up his immortality) from greek myth very compelling, especially since that then also further ties him to enkanomiya's greek mythological themes. great video! :)
What about the story of the millelith who fell from height while evacuating in chasm i remember rex lapis saved that person but he loves in frail condition 👀
"Physician, heal thyself" Ironic that Baizhu is a dendro healer but is unable to heal his own maladies. Perhaps he also has a curse he is fighting. Perhaps our dear friend saved a fragment of Orobashi (the white snake familiar he keeps) and invited the ire of Celestia for doing so. Perhaps he came into contact with forbidden knowledge.
Bows require a lot of strength to wield and to get the angle and charge right. I was more thinking in terms of actual physical strength rather than in game stamina.
There are exceptions ,at keast heizou has a 20 stamina cost ob his charge attacks ,so if baizhu somewhat rely on his charge attack he can simply get not 50 cost .
I'm very curious about the fact that his and Changsheng's eyes seem... To be in the wrong bodies? She has human eyes while he has snake eyes. I wonder what caused that.
I like the idea of Dottore and Baizhu being twins or ooder brother younger brother For the longest time Dotorre being not too bad of a guy helped his brother stay alive Now Dotorre being evil Baizhu cant be immortal anymore so he tries to figure out how his okder brother did it Very shallow explanation
if he is a dottore that would be enough to qualify dottore as playable meaning we can freely kill dottore and not try to redeem that asshole. I do want as many harbingers as possible to be playable.
I’ll be honest I wasn’t interested in doing any of the Sumeru story quest. But I a interested in Baizu for some reason. I think it’s cuz of his pet snake friend. I always feel sympathy for those animals. The last quest I did Was yelans.

OMG BAIZHU PANTALONE TWINS CONFIRMED😱😱😱😱😱😱
I have a theory that the reason is Pantalone is a parallel to Baizhu's goal in achieving immortality to an extent. Idk much about Pantalone but he seems remarkably human compared to his fellow Harbingers. Unless he was a recent addition that swiftly rose rank due to his "wealth," it'd be hard to believe he isn't dabbling in smth that allows for him to live for ages beyond a mortal's reach.

Overall good video eheh
One thing I just found out today (bc Im too lazy to read in game, instead I read character lore wiki whenever I want to lmao): appearantly yelan has to disguise herself everytime she goes to bubu pharmacy and she had some history with the fatui (namely she stole the fur of a beast which i think belonged to pantalone or was supposedly brought to him) sooo Ive read a lot of baizhu/pantalone theories and am not entirely convinced but after finding out about this the situation just gets more sus imo
Basically The Legend of the White Snake is a white snake (BFFs with a green snake) fell in love with a human man. And a old dude named Fahai is a hater and want to tear them apart and he did he sealed the white snake under a pagoda. There are many versions of what happened next.
In Chinese mythology basically all beings can ultimately gain a human form if they train or ‘cultivate’ enough for many years (like hundreds of years or more usually) and gain enough power. The longer they spend training they are more powerful
Including inanimate objects
Yes, that’s pretty much the summary I gave too. I didn’t mention the sealing of the white snake though, I just did a simpler version for the video.
@@minglifeng2862 yep. Ironically I'm watching the white snake TV drama on Netflix as I type.
Al Haitam: Stacked af.
Meh...
Baizhu: One feet on his grave. Qiqi got better health
*🔥* hot
Excellent video! Subbed!
it's interesting how prevalent eye's are when it comes to baizhu and pantalone
pantalone:
has three pairs of eye like symbols on his turtleneck getting thinner as they descend
he keeps his eyes closed
wears glasses
was never able to obtain a 'vision' (I doubt theres any links between his inability to obtain a vision and actually having poor vision but who knows)
one of his rings looks like a stylised eye
baizhu:
has snake like pupils whereas changsheng has human like pupils
wears glasses
has a vision (once again might not be relevant)
And then of course you have the general similiarities between their designs which you already pointed out though one tiny thing i noticed was that another one of pantalones rings looks like the cross pattern on either side of baizhu's chest which im sure is just a simple coincidence. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some kind of relationship between the two though as they do look scarily similar
I HOPE WE GET HIS DRIP MARKETING 😩😩😩 I cannot wait for him and his lore broooo 🙏🏼
Plot twist shansheng is related to orobaixi but got guobafyed
Another nice video, keep em coming
Watch Baizu be a catalyst user that also uses Snake Dendro like abilities of the other weapons. Venom strike how Claymore snakeskin sword Cobra Claymore blade and Anaconda pearl like catalyst
Baizhu next patch confirmed!
Silicone video was so powerful he summoned early Baizhu drip marketing. 🐍😂🌿🥳
It will make sense if Baizhu will be a dendro healer cuz he's good in making antidotes so if he will not be one istg... 🤡
about the legend of the white snake and the turtle there was a turtle in a genshin trailer
I want to see what you think about this.... What happens if Pantalone is his twin? With Pantalone having so much money, it would make sense as to why Baizhu's shop is the best :D all the funding :D
My brother was like that we gone help baizhu w sum in his story quest at which point his illness will catch up to him (speculated from his drip marketing description where it's stated that he can save many but not himself) and the next patch being his funeral 💀
I got guaranteed and i really hope to get both Baizhu and Qiqi in the same ten pull, im looking foward to see the leaks and start preparing for him
Qiqi is so cute ❤❤❤
i also found his parellels to chiron (the master healer who could not heal himself and gave up his immortality) from greek myth very compelling, especially since that then also further ties him to enkanomiya's greek mythological themes. great video! :)
You speak clearly and well, good for non -english people like me
Love your videos 💚
LOL HI GOOD TIMING
BAAIZHU DRIPPED TODAYYY
Baizhu and pantalone are besties, they are so mysterious
What about the story of the millelith who fell from height while evacuating in chasm i remember rex lapis saved that person but he loves in frail condition 👀
I was looking for this comment because this should get more recognition
@@egor_ter OoO thanks for coming all the way to find this message :)
Or pantalone got dottore to help his bro
We all agreed to talk about baizhu yesterday n we got his drip early today hahaa
Here's to help a little with your pronunciation. Zh = J as in Jasmine, X = X as in Xanthium, Q = Ch as in China, C = Ts as in Tsaritsa
Oh, thank you so much! I’ll have to practice these a bit, much appreciated!!
@@SiliconOneFour Also... Ch = Ch as in China but with a little more effort. (Sorry I'm not sure how to explain that in words. Hahahaha)
He has literally been drip marketed today lmao
"Physician, heal thyself"
Ironic that Baizhu is a dendro healer but is unable to heal his own maladies. Perhaps he also has a curse he is fighting. Perhaps our dear friend saved a fragment of Orobashi (the white snake familiar he keeps) and invited the ire of Celestia for doing so. Perhaps he came into contact with forbidden knowledge.
Yeah but in gameplay catalysts use so much more stamina than other weapons. How about make him a bow user, no stamina needed
Bows require a lot of strength to wield and to get the angle and charge right. I was more thinking in terms of actual physical strength rather than in game stamina.
There are exceptions ,at keast heizou has a 20 stamina cost ob his charge attacks ,so if baizhu somewhat rely on his charge attack he can simply get not 50 cost .
Baizu VA reminds me of James from pokemon with how sassy he sounds.
Bro is literally orochimaru from naruto
What if Baizu and Pantalone was in Cahoots.
Hope my primos will be enough. Gonna pull for him then skip everything until fontaine.
he’s bi. thats it. thats the secret
I need to know what his constellations do. And wonder if he will be good on Nilou teams.
omgggg !!!!!
I'm very curious about the fact that his and Changsheng's eyes seem... To be in the wrong bodies? She has human eyes while he has snake eyes. I wonder what caused that.
I like the idea of Dottore and Baizhu being twins or ooder brother younger brother
For the longest time Dotorre being not too bad of a guy helped his brother stay alive
Now Dotorre being evil
Baizhu cant be immortal anymore so he tries to figure out how his okder brother did it
Very shallow explanation
I hope Baizhu is just the green snake not Xu Xian
He is clone of pantalone made my the doctor
if he is a dottore that would be enough to qualify dottore as playable meaning we can freely kill dottore and not try to redeem that asshole. I do want as many harbingers as possible to be playable.
I GOT HIM IN 3 PUKLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLS
I’ll be honest I wasn’t interested in doing any of the Sumeru story quest. But I a interested in Baizu for some reason. I think it’s cuz of his pet snake friend. I always feel sympathy for those animals. The last quest I did Was yelans.
I wish Baizu and Qiqi worked well together. A shame cuz of their elements.
What is he hiding? Let's put it this way: that thing is not a snake and it comes out of his pants
i love you voice :)
I want Baizhu and I hope his kit is like this great healer but also a poisonous type (pokemon vibes)
I want his snake to be in the kit
Bruh is Orochimaru.
thats crazyyyy i watched this just before the drip marketing came out 😭
hi
u saw nothing
First 😆
Hes secret is that he married qiqi
