My Fav Character: Eula. Don’t Ask Why, because she sneezed
Yah. She’s half this and half that :)
Zhongli and Kazuha :)
Fun fact: Raiden Shogun is the highest selling character in Genshin impact
As it should
as she should
i had no doubts she would be as soon as i saw her leaked kit

Man, the amount of things you guessed right or very close about her character and lore just from analyzing her trailer really speaks volumes about the amount of work and detail the team making the trailer did as well as your understanding of filmmaking. This was amazing.
I also recommend the trailer for the character named Zhongli for you to react as its also, in my opinion, one of the best and most cinematic (second only to this one) of the trailers
Thank you so much! I want to do his next!
Raiden's last line is a 5/7/5 haiku that's why it sounds so deep/poetic
Oh damn I never noticed that
also as we can see in subtitles she is quoting someone.
omg yeah
I did notice it
A lot of Raiden Shogun's characterization and personality revolves around duality. Even as the God of Electro, her own element is a paradox to her ideal as the God of Eternity, since you know a flash of lightning is but a brief moment.
Keep playing, and try to ignore the fanbase drama in the background. It's a fun game regardless of developers and fans. So much lore, and their trailers and demos are really something to be admired. And the music...
Favourite has to be Shogun now; her story seems so simple but there is a lot of depth & hidden pain. Her gameplay is so much fun & happy that I pulled her, cannot wait to see you analyse Zhongli's trailer, by far my 2nd favourite character in the entire time
Thank you for recommending the video to watch it!! So much fun!
@@PhilipHarts Haha I am glad, Zhongli’s demo is incredible that’ll have to be the next one 😉
wouldn't Zhongli's demo be a spoiler? I don't know where he's at on the story but when that trailer came out I remember there were only theories about the character's complete role in the story. Then again I guess it's still gonna be hard to avoid spoilers from that archon quest at this point
@@lights0ut20 I am sure Phil will decide whether he wants to or not, it was the 2nd most requested trailer for him to analyse in his chat behind Shoguns
@@PhilipHarts the other awesome Genshin trailers are that of Zhongli, Albedo, HuTao and Xiao.
When he explained all the metaphorical parts...as someone who played the story... everything makes a LOT of sense.
Damn.
The music in this game is a masterpiece. Definitely recommended to check it out.
It’s so amazing!! Making me want to play more!
@@PhilipHarts please do bro the environment detail and music is amazing
@@PhilipHarts zhonglis trailer next?
Especially with a hi res copy and a good set of headphones, Amazing!.
@@PhilipHarts wait till you know Honkai Impact 3 CG
You figured out a lot about her from this trailer and didnt know her lore. Just shows how good this trailer is.
TL;DR: I'm glad you mentioned her voice acting, because the unifying theme of division in her character is reinforced by the voice acting and her VA's are all amazing for being able to display such mastery.
Note: Your unique perspective on the trailer and perceptive observations have earned a sub from me! I also respect your opinion in this regard and I really hope you'll do more reaction videos to some of the more "epic" moments of the story, be that in Mondstadt, Liyue, or Inazuma, as there's plenty in each!
I like that you specified how the voice acting, like Yuna's, could be seen as stiff but that it mirrored the trailer's composition and her animation/momentum (as controlled and tempered). This actually exemplifies her character more than you think; her voice acting plays a large part in the earlier observation you had about the cinematic having a lot of cut shots of her (divided frames, duplicated panels, etc.), and this is reinforced in that the voice actresses exhibit 2 different voice acting styles while portraying Raiden. This is extremely significant to her story and lore in the same way that the themes of Control and, to a lesser extent, Majesty are from this trailer and how Loss is from her "Nightmare" teaser.
Obviously we'll avoid spoilers (please do reaction videos to the cutscenes once you get to Inazuma! A blind reaction to those from you would be fun to watch), but these unifying themes behind all aspects of her character - be it lore, cinematic, voice acting, etc. -are brilliantly done and show just how much effort Mihoyo puts into their characters even though they're releasing multitudes more than in their previous game (Honkai Impact 3rd), which certainly deserves my respect. It also shows how talented her VAs are - regardless of the language - to be able to not only portray 2 styles but also to do it convincingly and distinctively. Huge props to Anne Yatco, Miyuki Sawashiro, Park Ji-Yoon, and Juhuhahua (I think that's how you would write it in english? Wasn't sure so I looked it up in the wiki. Hope I didn't mess that up xD) for their performances! If you can't already tell, my favorite character is currently Raiden! xD
Amazing Insight!! Thank you for sharing!!
The Chinese VA's name is Juhuahua/菊花花!
OH MY GOD i got goosebumps when you said you feel control, not too brutal not too clumsy, but control. i don’t wanna spoil anything too just in case you haven’t gotten there in lore but this is SPOT ON along with images of her being split in half. and it’s so unbelievable how talented people who made this demo are and how talented you are to see right through it without even knowing the character or their story. bravo!! 💜
Thank you so much!!! More to come!
she's basically a god in game, and more of an enlightened being. she's not an antagonist. at least not in the traditional sense. she's a bit more complex
She is an antagonist; what she isn’t is a villain. People want to equate the two, and they do often overlap, but they aren’t the same thing. Not all antagonists are villains, just like not all villains are antagonists. For instance, in Honkai Impact 3rd Ch 17, Kiana and Mei, despite being best friends/lovers, are each other’s antagonists because what they’re fighting for are in opposition with one another. Conversely, in Overlord, Ainz is absolutely a villain, but as the series’ MC he’s the protagonist. Same can also probably be said of Tanya Degurechaff in Saga of Tanya the Evil.
Inazuma stuff making professional ppl lose their minds lmao
You going "STOP" after that "drone" reverse camera shot reminds me of Alex Moukala's reaction to La Signora's soundtrack
It’s so great!! Alex is amazing also! Hoping to collaborate soon!
She’s a very complex character. You’ll have to play through the game to find out, I wouldn’t want to spoil anything. I will say this tho, she is the god and ruler of the realm known as inazuma , she also holds supreme power over the electro element as its archon. Just be aware her section of the story is VERY far away if you’ve just started. And no, there’s no quick way to get there. You have to play through the story in order.
Thank you for the info!!
@GABi / Shad_e_d they use real in the official video so they’re not completely wrong
@GABi / Shad_e_d pedantics. Even the trailer mentioned realm. It's like correcting the original creators.
She is absolutely not a complex character, are we playing the same game? Don't lead people to think that this game has good writing (unlike, say FFXIV).
@@devildante9 I think this game has excellent writing. Don’t think so, we’ll just have to disagree on that. Plus, a different game having better writing doesn’t automatically make all others not have good writing. You can’t compare apples to oranges.
Quite late to comment on this but in case it wasn't mentionned, the "stiff" voice acting at the end is because she's quoting a japanese poem known as Haiku which follows a pattern of 5-7-5 syllables. So the stiffness is just here to put empasis on the sentences.
To note also, this poem is a very well known one by Kokin Wakashu, to put it shortly, it's about the buddhist philosophy of how life is transcient and how he only see the real/waking world as transcient as a dream. Which is accentuated with the last sentence "all shall fade away" as in everything will end because all is transcient.
Deym now that you mentioned about the editing always splitting her images in half, I love her trailer even more! A lot had an opinion that her trailer was overly edited when it was first released but now it all makes sense.
It’s so well done! Happy to provide my insight 😃
Raiden Shogun got one of the best trailers, and her storyline did not disappoint either. Really great addition.
Except it did. It was very poor story writing.
@@noface7679agreed it was complete weeb bait with bad writing
@@noface7679 I enjoyed it, suppose it’s all subjective. Sorry to hear you weren’t impressed.
@@VeeTuTonic Depends on how you look at it. But its a fact that the writing was done lackluster. Kazuha wasnt resolved properly, the resistance played very little role. Kokomi has done nothing to contribute. Raiden suffered no consequences for her people. Her story quest was a market date randomly into the open. Like it was very flawed.
Well okay, fair enough. I still enjoyed it though.
Fun fact, that gorge at 6:45 was canonically created by her sword slash in lore
Your right about her split in two and duality within the trailer foreshadowing her characterization
ya, but surprisingly it isn't a spilt personality or a good or bad side. i like what they actually did.
One of the best trailers in genshin so far. Everything from the shots, va, music was just phenomenal. Her lore is actually also so good too but you have to play the game to understand her a lot more since 2.0 archon quest basically revolves around her.
I think the reason she speaks so slowly and formally at the end isn't because it sounds more formal but to emphasize the syllable pattern - in the English dub she's reading a Haiku, you can count the syllables in each line and notice the 5-7-5 pattern. In Japanese she reads a longer Tanka which is 5-7-5-7-7 which is an older style than Haiku but most westerners never heared of it so they used a Haiku in the English versions. It's also a Haiku in Chinese, and I have no idea what they did in the Korean version.
The Raiden Shogun is a walking pile of spoilers tbh, since a good chunk of the Inazuma Archon Quest involves dealings with her, but as you might have suspected, nothing in this trailer is on accident. The production crew and writers were very well in touch. Unfortunately, if you wanted to get her but haven't yet, her banner is over and won't be back for a long time. Thankfully, Archons seem to be high priority for rerun banners, so she won't be gone for an eternity ;P
Archons and harbingers if childe is truly getting another one xD
@@allanperez8743 I'm so happy he is, my pity missed him in 1.4 and I've wanted him for a very long time
Update: my 50/50 was lost to Keqing's C2. I hate her for it, but at least she's a good DPS and her constellations are good too
"They plan it for year ahead"
That quote from some dude in Honkai Impact 3rd animation video
Got her on the rerun :D
She's a great character and easly one of the most intimidating Archon's to date, something this video's style also focuses on, to tell ppl that u do NOT mess with her.
And since getting her i gotta say i have a blast with her,gameplay wise she's very fun.
Glad you enjoyed that video, if you wanna know her story then I'd say experiencing it through the game would be the best way. Although if you haven't gone very far with the story then it would be quite far away before you get to see her because she's in the 3rd region that came out in version 2.0
The upside-down shot of Raiden + Inazuma City was amazing! It looked like the sky was swallowing the whole city!
And for lorehunters, it seems that that shot was also trying to imply something... something dark.
Can we talk about how much he found out about raiden ONLY from the trailer? Like... Damn.. wow
0:34 mans clearly explained shogun's entire story 😂
I love it when someone is so hyped over the smallest details most ppl overlook.
this trailer has the best opening imo. the narration delivery, cinematography, the metaphors. sheesesssshhhhhh. top art
wishing to see more genshin content/reaction on your channel sir! Yes I watched your genshin reaction before and it's entertaining to watch/see the pov of a filmmaker
Thank you so much! I’ll be doing more and streaming it on twitch!
So sad I missed this when you watched it live but I agree 100% with your reaction here, Phil. Definitely my favorite trailer from Genshin Impact so far as it is so dense with meaning but still tightly edited and choreographed. You're also correct in assuming that the the Shogun has some complexity and duality to her character but I'll let you discover that on your own (or read about it if you won't play the game.) Anyway if you ever decide to play again I'll try to be there for the streams! And if you decide to co-op in the future I'd be down for that too.
Thank you!! I’m gonna do more Genshin live!!
I subscribed because you just read a character quite well solely based on their trailer. I always appreciate such keen eyes xD I wouldve never seen the duality of raiden shogun being used as a theme if it were never pointed out
Also 15:37 I think the k word you were looking for was "keigo" ^_^ and at the end of the demo she actually recited a Haiku because it follows the 5-7-5 syllable structure
Thank you so much and welcome 😃😃🙏🏻
You pointing out how much there are splitting imagery in the trailer. This trailer was released before we knew her lore, so seeing you point it out, makes me appreciste how the editing was kind of a foreshadowing to her
The Raiden Shogun might have my favorite lore of any character in Genshin Impact so far.
I think something Genshin does extremely well from a storytelling perspective is presents its villains with actual depth. Simply put, it’s villains don’t fit that “mustache twirling evil for evil’s sake” mold. The Raiden Shogun (very early on) is presented as this evil archon who is confiscating people’s Visions, yet we find out as the story progresses that she’s not necessarily doing it out of malice. Tartaglia (Childe) is also one of my favorite characters for this reason. While he is with the Fatui and on the surface he appears to be doing evil deeds, there is legitimate purpose put behind his actions. I loved that mini-arc with his little brother because we got the chance to see that Childe is a softie at heart.
I like how you expressed and discern the details of the trailer. The characterization, the frames, transition and what is in there..
And is refreshing to see someone reviewing the trailers from people who are new to the game.
Btw the last words she utters. I believe its a from of JP Haiku (poem), so translation maybe off but message was delivered properly..
Liked and subs
really glad you acknowledge that drone shot that always gives me goosebumps when I watch it every time matching with the BG music insane...
I’m brought to tears with all of Genshins cut scene sequences and trailers, everything they do is thought out and beautiful, their recent anniversary concert was amazing, I think you’d enjoy it!
Fantastic insights bro. The quick manga panels is such a great homage to the culture that they're drawing from
that pink haired woman is her bestest friend
She looks so cool too!
i love how when you look at these Genshin trailers in hindsight.. a lot of things just make sense. Like the shadows and reflection; The inverted shot in the beginning. So many good things audio/visually when you see it the first time, but it becomes much more meaningful when you go through the story.
The pink haired woman is my 3rd favorite character, yae Miko. Yae Miko is the Raiden shogun's servant/friend (mostly friend) and she's important in the inazuma story :)
as expected, everyone who reacted to this trailer always gets shocked by the music lol
Oh wow! I'm stunned. I watched a similar channel but through the lens of music. Now I'm watching through the lens of a filmmaker. This is really good and interesting to compare both aspects. You nailed most of it about Raiden Shogun as a person, what she is etc. Precisely 98%. I'll definitely check out more of your content!
Personally, she's my favorite and my strongest character 🙏
I’m only halfway through the video and you’ve already found out key points to her character! It’s really nice how you can find out so much about her, just by watching her trailer. Amazing :)
Thank you 😃😃😃
Her story is just amazing! There’s so much behind the trailer now I can understand rewatching it. I just love her ❤️
The amount of stuff we can't tell you without spoiling anything is crazy.
After finishing the Inazuma storyline, rewatching this trailer is surprising because of how much they hint at.
"Oh, so she pulls her sword out of her... Gongagas"
WHEN I TELL YOU I LOST IT 😭😭😭😭
Great reaction. I really love this, the music changes and the fast-paced images/action are insane. I also really love her character teaser video "Raiden Shogun: Nightmare", it's way more emotional than anything else in the game so far and shows more from her past, so if you can make a reaction for that one too.
The entire team (almost) involved in Genshin Impact is improving by light years in every update, from the level design, to the ost, story, characters and character design, editing, lore, etc.
The only two things I want them to also improve as much are the gameplay and mechanics (they need to overhaul a few things and add a few more), plus the event rewards. Some events are crazy fun (like the boss events with the additional difficulty options) but the rewards for them are garbage, making the overall experience worse than it should be.
Still, I will not stop playing until the entire story of the game is over (for at least the next 4-5 years), and I will continue to spend ~1000 hours per year like the first one in this game.
I LOVE every minute of it even with its few problems (like artifact farming...)
Great video!
I got a genshin impact ad.. of Raiden’s trailer demo on this video haha 😳
Wow. Coming from a lover of literature, your analysis is SPOT-ON. Your attention to detail is beautifully sharp. I can't wait for you to learn more about her lore. Because everything you said is right-there's two aspects to her being!
You absolutely need to check out Honkai Impact 3rd animations.
Here's the list:
- Inroduction to Honkaiverse - Honkai Operational Center Part 1 (offscreen to get some understanding)
- Reburn (not canon, not story related)
- Will of the Herrscher
- Final Lesson
- Cyberangel: Zero Exception
- Bronya (partly canon)
- Seele
- Chapter XI-EX CG
- Meteoric Salvation
- Chapter XV CG
- Lament of the Fallen
- Reawakening
- Shattered Samsara
- Everlasting Flames
- Pre-Revelation
Hey, first time viewer, great vid! I also recommend Kaedehara Kazuha’s character demo trailer, lots of fun shots thst draw influence from Samurai Champloo/Old Samurai movies, one of my favourite trailers
The Haiku of the Raiden Shogun
"Waking world, you seem
Woven from the stuff of dreams
All shall fade away"
Recently found ur channel, ur awesome!!! Keep doing what you're doing!!! Also gotta love Genshin
Thank you and welcome!!
Have you seen the cinematic for the character Zhongli yet :?
That one, in my opinion, is the best one of these_ followed closely by this one for Raiden Shogun
P.s.: best song is the one from Albedo's cinematic 'tho
Well IMO the best bgm is Zhongli's trailer and best visual trailer is Raiden Shogun. I'm excited for the next archon's trailer.
@@mynameiskarenandilltalktoy3111 yeah, usually these two are the favorites between the community... I personally prefer a lot more the pacin' and storyboard of Zhongli's trailer, which for me is a really important part of the visual aspects of any media (not to mention that I also prefer Zhongli's animations) but I completely understand those who prefer the visuals from her trailer _they did an awesome job on the editin', camera angles and metaphors for this one fs
@@lucasfreire8290 yup. Same.
@@lucasfreire8290 glad you mentioned albedo's bgm. That one is a banger as well
philip?! this is my first time coming across your gaming yt channel!! i’ve always watched your wing chun videos on ig/yt growing up :) keep it up my guy love to see it :D
It's always interesting to see professionals react to Genshin content. I hope that maybe you'll take a look at some of the other trailers!
I’ve got another one releasing today!
@@PhilipHarts Nice!
Her banner is about to rerun in a few days and it will be my first time pulling for her! I loved her character before I started playing in February 2023 and only now I am finally about to get her!
Nice video, man! Hope you made it back to Genshin and learned some of her awesome lore.
Raiden Shogun not only is the best character in Genshin but she also has the same birthday as me.
You are right that the editing is very deliberate. It will make sense if you ever go to this part of the story.
It makes her feel powerful as she looks at the camera when it is flying over her
Assessing the threat and deeming it insignificant
"You think that screen could stop me?"
"is that a special weapon she pulls out of her gongagas?" that made me giggle
Gotta love a genshin video. But also gonna voice my interest for Honkai animation breakdown, just so you know its out here 🤙
You should definitely check out Kamisato Ayaka: Camellia in Winter Snow & Kaedehara Kazuha: Wandering Winds.
finally a professional review of the trailer and this is indeed the best trailer so far.
Mate, hope you can do a take on the latest Genshin character, which is a kind of mirror to Raiden Ai's. You'll see so many film & music parallels in the demos.
Absolutely try zhongli next, his demo is on par with this one in my opinion!
you gotta react on the old character trailers lmao versus this and the new ones they really did improved a lot
this guy is amazing he mostly guessed what the raiden shoguns story quest is with only the visuals in the trailer
Can’t wait to see more reaction and livestreams if you do decide to play the game on twitch or something.
Don't forget by zhonglis intro and ost. You will be blown away
i hate “haha boob sword” jokes but when i tell you the gongagas bit had me crying…
You're spot on in your description of smooth. Even her minor combo exit animations are carefully designed with the slow, highly intentional smoothness to them
If anyone owns her and hasn't played around with her burst mode normal attack animations...do 🤯
08:27 most heroic music! 🔥
Raiden Shogun and Zhongli's trailer are my favorites 💕
That Donkey Kong song... Right in the memories.
I love her, and her fighting animation
If you like this edit, you should check out the character demo trailer for Zhongli. That might be the sickest edit I've seen, period.
Lol, her animations are so wicked, especially the burst that if the gadget you are using to play genshin impact is a potato, it freezes.
But still, she's so cool to use.
"training to become a high-level drone operator right now"
Me: I'M LISTENING!!!!
Hearing the song in the background is making want to play Donkey Kong Country 2 again lol
Genshin is deffinately my favorite game and the character demos have gotten absolutely stunning. This one has to be one of, if not my favorite one so far. I think you said you play, right? What's your AR? This is the first video of yours I've seen and I'm curious
Raiden is my favorite character by far, so it’s very interesting to see your thoughts on her :)
You jumped straight to the best one to date. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉. Genshin puts in extra work into their Archon promotion, so this is probably going to be the best trailer until the Dendro archon next year. Up to this point, Zhongli's trailer was everyone's favorite, but this one topped that one by a huge margin IMO.
i still like zhongli trailer tho those music is just amazing in that trailer.not saying this is bad tho.
The underground you mentioned, Its her plane of Euthymia. She controls a puppet while meditating inside the Plane of Euthymia.
Wait till you play through her Archon Quest. (and see the cute lil art of her as a child crying hahahahah). Instant subbed once I saw this video.
“Is that a special weapon she pulls out of her gongages”
Omg that got me good lol, good one man.
You were very close to her story, this trailer is really accurate for her but most character demos do this. Also raiden is very nice to play and she is one of my fav characters now in both playstyle and personality
We need to get him to see the chapter preview trailer and the most recent 2.2 update trailer. :D
She's my main dps and I really love her
I dont know if you have seen it but you should watch the teyvat chapter storyline!
Funny you mention Yuna from FF10 in being formal. The 'girl' at the start is Yae Miko, who is also the head priestess of the (Narukami) shrine. She also voices the start of the video, while the Raiden shogun voices the rest.
Nice to see someone who knows what they're talking about review something like this.
Please Phillips, when you make the video of the latest Arcane trailer, make it 1 hour long, and also talk about the structure of the trailer because I think it invites anyone who doesn't know about LoL to want to watch the series.
I hope his analysis lasts until November 6th :P
I will check it out!
God damn this DK music, I have no idea what u talk during the intro, I was vibing having chills... Sorry.
The area where she's meditating is like her consciousness where only she exists. It's a lot like a Domain Expansion/Reality Marble from Jujutsu Kaisen if you are aware of that. And the Pink haired woman is Yae Miko the Head of the Grand Narukami Shrine.
If you're wondering where that dark underworld like place is, its actually in her sword.
If genshin with its lore had an anime, it would have been epic.
Love the vid! There is a new trailer for the league of legends tv show on Netflix, I'd love to see you break it down.
Thank you!!
