i don't normally talk about these things, but lately i have been more invested in the story and it has been excited so i wanted to share it with you guys! the shorts made for other characters and fatui are only 2.5D in genshin. this animation is full fledged cool other speculations/corrections from others: docs.google.com/document/d/1mOLi1Hy0gaqyLZ6J_YRZPc2j8gTVvvFmAsG2-3iVtng/edit?usp=sharing follow for updates: twitter.com/tuont0 streams: twitch.tv/tuonto join the comunity! discord.gg/tuonto
I love arlecchino and you're my favourite genshin streamer, so imagine my excitement when this video popped up Bro I lowkey screeched because before this I was watching the Jean Solo video for the third time
Her curse is probably forcing her to absorb part of things that die by her or in her hands Her pet spider The bat winhs which belonged to one of the other children ( see the stuffed animals at the beginning) Her love of cake and the bellflower( her friend) Also the music could be symbolic of her soul A chorus of children all a part of her And the lead voice is hers And right before she punts the harbinger she calls her "mother" which startled the previous knave I believe it was her friend speaking through arlecchino Since that is her actual biological mother It was like the children of the house within arlecchino came together to kill the previous knave
The way I understood Arlecchino taking on the title "Father" instead of "Mother" is because the previous Knave "Mother" cared for the children on the surface, but was actually really messed up and cruel to them in reality. Whilst Arlecchino is the opposite, she appears strict and uncaring but secretly does care for the children of the house.
i’m not sure because scara and childe described her as crazy and insane so it might be a possibility that she acts uncaring and strict but she does treat the children with care tells and tells the children advice (read the twins and freminets lore if u wanna understand what i mean) so, the children thinks that she actually cares for them bcz she takes care and protects them are raises them. Arlecchino gives really bad manipulator vibes
It could be that she's trying to make a new tradition. Instead of the children against each other they'll fight the head of the family, which is Arlecchino as of now.
Apparently its more apparent in the CN/JP vers but Clervie is the biological daughter of the late Mother and I think its implied that she was getting beat by her (ai. the bandage scene), probably because she was seen as too weak to be the next "King" or successor. When Mother was talking about pruning the flower she was prob talking about Clervie
Sad to think that all it took was for peruere to snap and just try, if they tried just before the battle royal they'd all be alive but because of Mother's fake facade they may not even have thought of fighting her
also it wouldn't make any sense if that was Freminet, his mom brought him to the House (don't remember why, I think she wanted to save him from something)
@user-mt9ic1cv1h in Freminet's character story, it says he was there in the orphanage while the previous Harbinger was still alive. The previous Harbinger told Freminet that his mother sold him to her. His mother actually left him at the orphanagefor his own safety becausethe people they were in debt to wanted Freminet as payment. (No, I don't think that is him in this animation.)
One easily missable detail is that Arlecchino still has a sword in her hand when Clervie drops to the ground with the sword stuck in her body. She didn't get stabbed by Arlecchino, she stabbed herself.
nope...there is only one sword in Arlecchino's right hand, and its the only sword there. When Clervie drops, the sword just moves in a downword position but still in grasp of Arlecchino's rght hand. The sword does not "drop" with Clervie.
True!! arle dont kill her, thats why she so much shocked in her face. why she so shocked if she's the one that intentionally kill her. and i heard clervie is biological daughter of the previous Knave . and the knave always do cruel thing to her own daughter, maybe also in deep of her hearth she cant hold it anymore and decided to kill herself TT_TT
Interesting Detail :- Did anyone notice how her arms slowly develop the curse and turned dark as the short progress and eventually peaked during the end of the fight against the previous harbinger?
@@soep19 Hmm.. not much relationship, but they are both experimental beings.. well, for Arlecchino its still a theory. Here's how it goes: Caterpillar is a being experimentally made by Rene Petrichor in hopes to achieve an evolution more susceptible to world-ending calamities, because being just a human is weak. Caterpillar was initially a hillichurl captured by Rene to undergo the said experimentation, in which, Rene succeeded. This experimentation was inspired by the things Rene found out in the Khaenri'ah ruins. As he was finding a solution to the impeding disaster in Fontaine, he took a liking to this experiment. Why avoid the disaster if one can face it head-on by transcending mortal bodies. Apparently, this experiment does require the power of the abyss. As for Arlecchino.. In the book Perinheri, it discusses the Crimson Moon Dynasty of Khaenri'ah having an orphanage dedicated to creating powerful beings. Of course, as expected, all of the kids there are just one subject to one another. The theory about Arlecchino is that she is from that orphanage, in which she somehow managed to survive, and eventually get the attention of previous Knave for the House of the Hearth. All of Arlecchino kits, animation, and BiS weapon screams Crimson Moon/Blood. Can't wait to see how this theory will hold up once the details of those comes out officially.
I dont know why noone is mentioning this, but I always thought that you could see the Surprise in Arlechinno's eyes when her best friend is stabbed. I think she refused to kill her friend so she instead did the trope where she jumped into Arle's sword and that's why she said sorry and "youll be a great King"
A few things I've noticed after rewatching a few times: - Clervie is denoted by a Lumidouce Bell, which we see on her necklace as a child. Later, "Mother" is holding a wilted Lumidouce Bell, remarking how "grotesque" it is and how she should have pruned it sooner. When asked if she agrees, Peruere flies into a rage. "Mother" basically said "My own biological daughter was too weak to be the 'King' and I find that disgusting." - Furthermore, the fight turns in Peruere's favor when she glances down at a Lumidouce Bell, still planted in the ground. After this moment, she adopts a completely different approach, countering all of Mother's attacks effortlessly before abruptly kicking her straight into the ceiling and effectively nuking the whole building as it falls around her. - The shot at 3:28 includes a sword sticking out of the ground with a Bulle Fruit on its hilt, possibly a memorial to the girl whose motif in the opening scene was the same. - I think Clervie took her own life rather than fight Peruere but it's hard to tell because of the framing. (My reasoning: The time jump shows Peruere looking shocked. When it is revealed Clervie is run through with a blade, we cannot see her arms at all which could indicate they are in front of her, holding the hilt of the sword. The blade that pierced her is covered with blood. Clervie falls, with Peruere seemingly not moving at all or removing the sword from the body. The next shot shows Peruere's reflection, still holding a clean sword in her right hand. Also, Clervie's last words are "I'm sorry...thank you" which are vague but could be interpreted as "I'm sorry [that it has to end this way]...thank you [for being my friend, and not stopping me]". But I can also see the argument she may have meant "I'm sorry [that it has to end this way]...thank you [for being the one to end me]", so that's more speculation on my part.) - "Mother" raised the children to fight each other so the strongest could be "King", but Peruere's title as the new Harbinger is nearly the opposite, a lowly "Knave".
Something I realized is that the Lumidouce bell is actually used in Lyney's story quest, and they are said to represent "parting" Thought that was a neat connection
@@caseylp7121 there's also a pretty neat link of plants and stuff between Arlecchino & Clervie and Lyney & Lynette Arlecchino and Lyney both use the Rainbow Rose to ascend and both have Pyro Visions just like Clervie is associatd with Lumidouce Bells they're the ascension material needed for Lynette, and while Clervie desired freedom Lynette has an Anemo Vision (with Anemo of course being heavily linked to freedom) Arlecchino and Clervie were truer family than Clervie was to the previous Knave. Arlecchino's chosen successor has a biological sibling with links to the same plants and concepts that Clervie was linked to. perhaps these similarities contributed to Arlecchino's decision for Lyney to be her preferred successor. also, while there are no obvious links between Freminet and the previous Knave it should be noted that both of them have Cryo powers to complete the trio of characters.
@@ReptilianTeaDrinker huh? really to be honest it's kinda hard to tell from the animation whether it's ice or water. is it writen down anywhere what she had?
9:22 The entire reason she chose father as the title was to avoid remembering the trauma of what happened to her in her childhood with "mother", not to continue the legacy. while mother pretended to care while being abusive, father doesnt hide her intensions and wants to be transparent with what she will do as seen at the very end of the trailer. oh yeah i just saw u speculated the same thing in the docs in the pinned comment cool!
i hope chat realizes that is NOT freminet at the end lol. he was already an orphan at the hearth under the previous director before arlecchino's succession. it's one of the most important pieces of information we know about freminet's backstory. also arlecchino's real name is VERY similar to the latin word "peruro/peruere" meaning "to burn up/consume" which i think you should add to the doc instead of the tweet you referenced, or at least alongside it!
@@vincentdreemurr That kid's eyes aren't even the same colour as Freminet's, also he doesn't even have freckles and his hair is a different shade of blonde too. They look NOTHING alike.
it's also interesting that in terms of plants and certain themes Arlecchino & Clervie match up fairly well to Lyney and Lynette. Arlecchino and Lyney both have Pyro Visions and ascend using Rainbow Roses, Arlecchino even wants Lyney to be her successor as the next King/Father (and possibly even the next Knave) Clervie really desired freedom (which is typically linked to Anemo) and is associated with Lumidouce Bells. Lynette has an Anemo Vision and ascends using Lumidouce Bells. in a way Lyney and Lynette could be seen as the next generation's equivilent to Peruere and Clervie also, while there aren't as many links between them it's neat that both the previous Knave and Freminet have Cryo powers to complete the trio in each time period.
I hope they make more shorts like this! Even if they're only for the 5 stars, ngl I like the short teasers for characters but this animated format gives them more depth and story I'm also glad the first one we got is for Arlechinno! It gives her more story, instead of people seeing only one side of her, we see how she got to be how she is now
So the reason why Arlecchino's title is "Father" because she doesnt have a good "Mother" figure from the previous knave who is caring on the outside, but in actuality is pretty ruthless and abusive inside. So when Arlecchino took the throne of the House of the Hearth, she changed her ways of being cold and stern as a "Father" but still cares for her children
After rewatching a couple times one thing I noticed about the music is that the children’s choir only comes in after Arlecchino “locks in” aka fighting at her full power. I feel like it represents that she’s fighting for all the children.
and HI3rd, congratulation for GI, i also want to see more not just PV or very very short animation video. like Sumeru also got one short animetion before we enter to the region but most likely just short PV and that't it. i assume they are keep secretly learning something they should do right now.
@@YuuSouji I think so too, I'm trying to find out who made it. When arle takes out her schyte it gave me ufotable vibes, but I think they would've said it if ufotable made it because then it's free publicity
Hmm, ufotable is currently one of the studios who very well utilizes both 3d and 2d animation.. I won't get my hopes up for the anime to become pure 2d especially at fight scenes where ufotable excels at. But don't worry, they are great at hiding impurities in mixing both techniques so it might not really matter much.
It seems like the person that Freminet is "hiding" as mentioned in the 4.6 trailer could be Clervie. There's also a theory that the House of the Hearth used to be an orphanage for descenders and/or outlanders before Arlecchino made it into an actual orphanage as well as a mini-task force. This fact could explain why Clervie is involved in 4.6 considering Lyney, Lynette and Freminet seem to be able to see and help her. The animation also explains why Arlecchino refers to someone she wants to be the next 'King' of the House, turns out it was a tradition from the beginning. The orphanage-is-a-home-for-outlanders/descenders theory is something I'm unsure of, as I've only heard it circling around, but it COULD explain Clervie's existence in the 4.6 quest and Arlecchino's glitches (though, that could be from her curse).
I think she said strict and ruthless father because she wants others to know that she is strict and ruthless but from the inside she cares to be completely opposite of mother i believe that is correct.
I'm pretty sure Arle raised her children to be strong so they can survive the ruthless world they live in, not so they can fight each other to become "king" like "mother" did. She's strict and unfeeling, because her "caring" "mother" was a horrible person behind that facade.
In the very first scene you can see the children with different plant aspects in their clothing (the bulle fruit in the girl’s hair, the lumidouce bell on Clervie’s necklace) and at the end you can see the Bulle fruit with the sword signalling that that’s the girl’s grave, and “Mother” talking about the Lumidouce bell, saying it was withered, talking about how Clervie was not strong enough for her standards, which pisses Arlecchino off so she starts fighting. Also at the end, seeing the Lumidouce bell reminded her of her best friend, which gave her the power and hate for “Mother” to use her full potential to kill the Harbinger. So many cool details that paint an amazing picture of the story!!
7:04 I love how the comments suddenly shouted "SCARA" when they saw him❤😂 Also the part where Pierro is talking with Scara, Signora and Capitano behind him possibly means that they are the oldest one who became a fatui including Dottore and maybe Columbina BECAUSE if you look behind Arlecchino background of her banner, you can see the Snezhnaya logo that has fatui logos AND all those logos resembles each harbinger and we all remember that Childe was the first harbinger we fought then that means it started on the narwhal logo and then signora THEN SCARAMOUCHE and now ARLECCHINO so this MIGHT mean COLUMBINA IS NEXT😨
@@m.v.j6804 it says captain is in Natlan, but we also know Columbina is there with him so you don’t know which one you will meet first, only that they are both there. To be fair I believe the doctor is there too so all top 3 harbingers are in Natlan according to various clues. I think Columbina will be the next playable
this animation was so fucking good and the fact that it was animated by ufotable is crazy bc this is literally a glimpse of what the genshin anime is going to look like.
*11:07* my take on the reason why Arle refers to herself as father and says she'll be strict and unfeeling is because the previous harbinger called herself "mother" and probably raised the kids with " love and kindness " but she only ever hurt all the kids in the house of the hearth. so are took on the role of "father" and "strict and unfeeling" as way to present herself as a direct opposite of "mother". "if you who represents love does nothing but hurt people, I shall be hatred and do nothing but save people" something like that?
Also if you pay attention, the sword that appears in 3:30 is probably blonde girl's weapon (you can see her in 1:04) because of the little balle fruit accessorie
my theory is her curse grows when something dies. this links into her passive where it drains hp with bond of life or sum shi to do her pyro dmg stuff also when the flower + spider ded + all children = big black arm
If you pause at 0:50, you'll actually see a figure on the story that appears to be Dottore, reinforcing some suspicions I've had. We know that those children from the House who show potential and grow up end up being Fatui agents, but it's unknown what happens to those who don't. By this, I've always known that it's something they don't want to be revealed so easily, and that it's likely something quite cruel and shady, such as turning into a test subject for Dottore.
Watched this both live and came from discord/the notif, can't wait for Arlecchino's release and hopefully they do release more content like this in the near future! 💙
its so cool that hoyoverse is creating animation such as this, i hope they make more in the future, for future characters even though its gonna cost like a whole ton of money. also, seeing how well made this is, along with how it touched the viewers heart makes me so inspired to continue pursuing art, especially in the field of animation, from dc btw!
3:21 its all good dude, reactions r all about yk reacting as long someone doesn't talk over dialogue it doesn't matter, and ur right lol that was good sound design not your usual loud THUD
The fact that the devs actually considered this is absolutely amazing, it really gives out a lot of lore that we might now get in-game. I knew there had to be something about the name "Father" and the role of "The Knave", I had a thought about the previous Knave being called mother or even the Tsaritsa having the nickname. Now that also makes me wonder, we get many sneak peeks of the harbingers, but nothing about the Tsaritsa. All we know of her is that she is the cryo archon and the last we will meet in snezhnaya, and with the fact that there was 2 knaves, what if there one's that took the place previously before "mother", and took care of the house of hearth, too. This really can be brought to theories, especially ones for the house of hearth and the harbingers in general. As for an example, was there previous harbingers for each role before Tartaglia with the same codename? Were there any other Pierro's? It really brings the same questions back and forth imo.
Oh!! So that's why that Mother's intonation or way of speaking speaking reminds me of like one of those maidens, crystal, mirror, the likes. I haven't gotten to that part yet about her lore, so seeing this animation made me excited to learn more. The animation is so cool!!! I really hope the children would really be able to break whatever curse there is. Also, her arms!!! So much lore!!
I wonder how this ties back to the HotH lore we got this patch. It was originally created to find a descender, so maybe all the kids are "Outlanders" and "Mother" wanted to see who had the most power to become a "Descender" I like how you pointed out the lyrics about fate because according to what we know, "Outlanders" are just aliens that reside in Teyvat. "Descenders" have the power to actually change the fate of it, which means there's a chance Arlecchino might be one of them.
It was always apparent to me that Arlecchino had some sort of history and trauma because she was always so intent with being called "father" instead of "mother"- my theory at the time was that it was a trauma trigger word, which turned out to be correct now with this animated short, its confirmed true Her "mother" appeared to care about the children on the outside, when in reality she didn't and all she wanted to do was raised a powerful pawn, and she made all the siblings fight and kill each other for the title of "King" and arlecchino turned out victorious, but had to kill her childhood best friend for it She realised how wrong it was after losing her best friend like that, and rebelled against "mother" And in the future ended up as a parent the complete opposite of her "Mother", while she was strict and unfeeling, she actually cares deep down and finally, she was jailed in snez for her crimes (killing the previous harbinger), where she finally sees the aurora which was what her and clervie had wanted to see together from the small window of her jail cell. such a bittersweet moment where she knows she avenged her and the other children, but she had witnessed it alone without her best friend like promised the way she sits on the chair in her jail cell is also an exact parallel to plushie arlecchino sitting on a throne atop other plushies in the beginning the huge amount of plushies indicates how many people she cut down to get there some details i would like to point out is that arlecchino's friend, clervie, was the "Mother's" biological daughter, who was abused by her for being too weak- that's why Arlecchino asks "Do mothers usually argue with their daughters?" we know this because it's more prominently said in the other languages and that clervie was all injured when arlecchino asked her that- it implies that the previous knave beat her own daughter The flower that was withered was the Lumidouce Bell which, in the archives, symbolises partings and the wish for reunion. It symbolises the dead promise that arlecchino and clervie made with each other to go see the aurora in snez, because one ended up killing the other due to "Mother"'s orders and it is also the same flower on Clervie's necklace. So "Mother" mentioning "pruning" the Lumidouce Bell before it withered is symbolically worse than initially thought. There is a cut to a sword with an orange ball after Clervie's death which might represent the unnamed blonde haired girl with the Bulle Fruit hair tie, so most likely all the other kids are dead too just like the storybook in the beginning foreshadowed. Arlecchino burying her pet spider at the beginning is a clear reference to her boss form which resembles a spider a children's choir started to sing when Arlechinno finally stood against "Mother" like all the kids unite to support her when she was losing in addition, one line in the song is about a bird flying free from a cage, which is a line that the mother uses against arlec during their fight "a bird tied down will never fly the nest" and the same song says to "free yourself from fate" or something along those lines, and my interpretation is that those are clervie's wishes for arlec even after death, to free herself from this tragedy of an orphanage could also represent arlecchino not continuing down this ruthless path that all the other previous "mothers" went down, and for arlec to be a parent to the house of the hearth that actually cares for its children
So Arlecchino's curse has nothing to do with the House of Hearth, interesting. I hope they give us some answers cos caterpillar's WQ had left us hanging for too long!
9:18 my thoughts are Clervie probably stabbed herself for Arlechinno, because she said “you will be… a great King” sacrificing herself for Arlechinno so she could be king?? (I’m confused help)
Did anyone else notice how when arlecchino is fighting right after she gets hit into the wall, she seems to dodge all of the attacks like Hoyo mimics in the character demo at the beginning of arlecchino boss fight.
Absolutely please share your live thoughts. It's animations like these that we really desire your live reactions. The emotions wouldn't be the same after watching it.
Genuinely such a beautiful and tragic short!! I also got chills when the chorus began to sing, and a part of me wonders if that very prominent children's chorus is meant to represent all of the other orphans Arlecchino is fighting for- if maybe it's intended to represent her shouldering the task of getting vengeance for them against the previous Knave. My personal (probably deeply incorrect) theory is that the boss fight with Arlecchino may be her testing whether the children will turn on each other or stand together against her, to be sure she really has chosen the right successor and to ensure that what happened to her won't happen to anyone else after, given how heavily that trauma appears to have shaped her approach to things.
Now that i remember it... When hyv decided to add animation short in hi3, some red haired playable lady got unalive on the second animation short they've dropped back then.... :'))). And now we have the 2nd animation short too now here in genshin hhsss (iirc we have the ayaka one first) Hoping she's still kicking longer than the next version update HDHDH. Gawd PLEASE RNGSUS LET ME HAVE THE FATHER ON MY PULLS 😭😭😭
Arlecchino calls herself Father coz ofc her "Mother", u get it. She also stopped the cycle of those children from the previous Knave giving them to Dottore to be experimented. She actually cares about her children and probably the only thing she do in the Fatui Harbinger is to serve Tsaritsa (by getting the Gnosis) and using the children to find intel about the person she's been looking for which were eventually found by Freminet (this was said in the trailer). I'M SO EXCITED FOR HER STORY! I HOPE SHE COMES HOME HUHU FATHER PLEASEEEE! NATASHA, RAVEN, ARLECHINNO!!!
If you did the chasm quest you'll notice a lot of the fatui assigned there came from the house of hearth.. Meaning the battleroyale was stopped as they were all adults. Sure they are bred as soldiers young and Ruthless upbringing but they dont kill each other to be "king" anymore.
"favored" I swear, you people really are conditioned by corporate marketing tactics into believing these companies care about anything besides siphoning your money and time. Also "return" implies it left. Arle's animation has almost as many views as Acheron's animated short in a fraction of the time. Game never went anywhere lmao.
her friends necklace is the same flower “mother” prunes down. also the same flower which will be arlecchino farming material which is interesting yet sad.
What I understand is that, "mother" made the children fight for the title of "king" and arlecchino becomes the new "king". If you see in the 4.6 trailer, ferminent, Lynette and lyney are fighting arlecchino and lyney says "i am not saying i have all the answers, but doing so will only bring us further apart from being a real family!" After arlecchino said "I want you to become the next "king" of the house. Yet,you seem to have different ideas" I think he was referring to that the fight will cause death and pain and that it's not worth killing/fighting your family for a title. I also speculate that clervie is the real daughter of "mother" seeing how they look so alike
My take on what I think is gonna happen is, Arlecchino's gonna test them to see if they can stand up to fate, fate being the world they were brought into, and the fate in which their cards were dealt with at the very start. She becomes a physical representation of a parent's unyielding hope that their children will survive long after their gone, but I think that won't be the only thing though, I think she wants to see if the children have the same profound bond she felt when she was with Clervie and that if it's there. I just think she's being a very very strict parent, because she knows the pain of loss, the pain of misfortune to be brought into the world down on her luck, so she fortifies her children to be strong, even if she has to be ruthless
i feel like the curse arlecchino has is the markings on her arm that look like she's wearing black gloves or something and as a child it was only at her finger tips so probably when she was getting older the curse was getting worse making the marks cover her whole hand
I wonder if her curse has spread through her body and that's why she covers up. You can see her curse spreading through her arm when she was looking at the flower.
Not a single harbinger aside maybe Scaramouche goes by their actual name lol Tartaglia/Childe is Ajax, Signora was Rostlyne (probably misspelled) etc etc. Come on now ..
Remember in the trailer when freminet had something that arlecchino was looking for? Maybe it has something to do with her past like something with that pink hair girl or even that "mother" and maybe freminet did this cuz he had a bad feeling abt it and knew something is abt to happen
I feel it every time I see her, but if I shoot a legend like this with Arleschino, the villainous flame character, how will it look when Natta comes out... and even there needs to be a real consul of fire 🔥
i LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE the music in this animation it made every scene so much more hype i rly hope they release it in the next stellar moments album also that was not fremi he was alr there when the previous knave was in charge she lied to him and told him his mother didn't want him n stuff, then when arle came into power she told fremi the truth. i think since he was there earlier he may know clervy/clervie and that's who he's hiding, although for what
I think the siblings said that when arlechino take charge the rule change from die for the house to cherish your life, she is not continuing the game. This much is confirmed
i don't normally talk about these things, but lately i have been more invested in the story and it has been excited so i wanted to share it with you guys!
the shorts made for other characters and fatui are only 2.5D in genshin. this animation is full fledged
cool other speculations/corrections from others:

the story is so interesting i love itt
I love arlecchino and you're my favourite genshin streamer, so imagine my excitement when this video popped up
Bro I lowkey screeched because before this I was watching the Jean Solo video for the third time
MEGAMIND IS A GENSHIN Impact Player
I luv Arlecchino and your my fav streamer:)
Her curse is probably forcing her to absorb part of things that die by her or in her hands
Her pet spider
The bat winhs which belonged to one of the other children ( see the stuffed animals at the beginning)
Her love of cake and the bellflower( her friend)
Also the music could be symbolic of her soul
A chorus of children all a part of her
And the lead voice is hers
And right before she punts the harbinger she calls her "mother" which startled the previous knave
I believe it was her friend speaking through arlecchino
Since that is her actual biological mother
It was like the children of the house within arlecchino came together to kill the previous knave
The way I understood Arlecchino taking on the title "Father" instead of "Mother" is because the previous Knave "Mother" cared for the children on the surface, but was actually really messed up and cruel to them in reality. Whilst Arlecchino is the opposite, she appears strict and uncaring but secretly does care for the children of the house.
i’m not sure because scara and childe described her as crazy and insane so it might be a possibility that she acts uncaring and strict but she does treat the children with care tells and tells the children advice (read the twins and freminets lore if u wanna understand what i mean) so, the children thinks that she actually cares for them bcz she takes care and protects them are raises them. Arlecchino gives really bad manipulator vibes
It could be that she's trying to make a new tradition. Instead of the children against each other they'll fight the head of the family, which is Arlecchino as of now.
@@hanun.n thez think that bc they prob havebt seen her with children
@@hanun.n those 2 are such reliable sources tho. Also maybe the outwards uncaring image is paying off
@@hanun.n how do you watch her backstory and say that? I'm certain neither scara or childe know what her past was like
Apparently its more apparent in the CN/JP vers but Clervie is the biological daughter of the late Mother and I think its implied that she was getting beat by her (ai. the bandage scene), probably because she was seen as too weak to be the next "King" or successor. When Mother was talking about pruning the flower she was prob talking about Clervie
Sad to think that all it took was for peruere to snap and just try, if they tried just before the battle royal they'd all be alive but because of Mother's fake facade they may not even have thought of fighting her
There was fire around the area when Clervie died. I assume that Arle got her Pyro Vision in that moment which gave her the power to kill "Mother".
Thought that was pretty obvious by looking at them no?
Poor Clervie she had such a horrible mother ☹🥺
@@mistman_161I figured it was because of her curse and not a vision
Chat was spamming freminet but the kid had yellow eyes and freminet’s are blue.
Yeah and I couldn't see any freckles
Its aventurine surely
also it wouldn't make any sense if that was Freminet, his mom brought him to the House (don't remember why, I think she wanted to save him from something)
@user-mt9ic1cv1h in Freminet's character story, it says he was there in the orphanage while the previous Harbinger was still alive. The previous Harbinger told Freminet that his mother sold him to her. His mother actually left him at the orphanagefor his own safety becausethe people they were in debt to wanted Freminet as payment. (No, I don't think that is him in this animation.)
bro its thorfinn 😭😭
One easily missable detail is that Arlecchino still has a sword in her hand when Clervie drops to the ground with the sword stuck in her body. She didn't get stabbed by Arlecchino, she stabbed herself.
AH THAT HURTS SO MUCH MORE 💔💔💔
Oh my god stop 🥹
what if not lore and just inconsistency
nope...there is only one sword in Arlecchino's right hand, and its the only sword there. When Clervie drops, the sword just moves in a downword position but still in grasp of Arlecchino's rght hand. The sword does not "drop" with Clervie.
True!! arle dont kill her, thats why she so much shocked in her face. why she so shocked if she's the one that intentionally kill her. and i heard clervie is biological daughter of the previous Knave . and the knave always do cruel thing to her own daughter, maybe also in deep of her hearth she cant hold it anymore and decided to kill herself TT_TT
Interesting Detail :- Did anyone notice how her arms slowly develop the curse and turned dark as the short progress and eventually peaked during the end of the fight against the previous harbinger?
She had a higher bond of life so she did more damage
It reminded me of Caterpillar the hilichurl, could she have been related to him in some way?
@@soep19 Hmm.. not much relationship, but they are both experimental beings.. well, for Arlecchino its still a theory.
Here's how it goes:
Caterpillar is a being experimentally made by Rene Petrichor in hopes to achieve an evolution more susceptible to world-ending calamities, because being just a human is weak. Caterpillar was initially a hillichurl captured by Rene to undergo the said experimentation, in which, Rene succeeded.
This experimentation was inspired by the things Rene found out in the Khaenri'ah ruins. As he was finding a solution to the impeding disaster in Fontaine, he took a liking to this experiment. Why avoid the disaster if one can face it head-on by transcending mortal bodies.
Apparently, this experiment does require the power of the abyss.
As for Arlecchino..
In the book Perinheri, it discusses the Crimson Moon Dynasty of Khaenri'ah having an orphanage dedicated to creating powerful beings. Of course, as expected, all of the kids there are just one subject to one another.
The theory about Arlecchino is that she is from that orphanage, in which she somehow managed to survive, and eventually get the attention of previous Knave for the House of the Hearth.
All of Arlecchino kits, animation, and BiS weapon screams Crimson Moon/Blood. Can't wait to see how this theory will hold up once the details of those comes out officially.
@@Glis54 lol
at the start when she saw the spider die, her hands started to darken, maybe the more shes around death the more the curse would progress.
I dont know why noone is mentioning this, but I always thought that you could see the Surprise in Arlechinno's eyes when her best friend is stabbed. I think she refused to kill her friend so she instead did the trope where she jumped into Arle's sword and that's why she said sorry and "youll be a great King"
you are right i also noticed it but wasn't able to figure it now it sense why she was surprised she never wished to kill her best friend.
Like Nagato and Yahiko from Naruto
She’s actually still holding her sword at her side when Clervie falls, so i think clervie stabbed herself
Clervie got yahiko'd
A few things I've noticed after rewatching a few times:
- Clervie is denoted by a Lumidouce Bell, which we see on her necklace as a child. Later, "Mother" is holding a wilted Lumidouce Bell, remarking how "grotesque" it is and how she should have pruned it sooner. When asked if she agrees, Peruere flies into a rage. "Mother" basically said "My own biological daughter was too weak to be the 'King' and I find that disgusting."
- Furthermore, the fight turns in Peruere's favor when she glances down at a Lumidouce Bell, still planted in the ground. After this moment, she adopts a completely different approach, countering all of Mother's attacks effortlessly before abruptly kicking her straight into the ceiling and effectively nuking the whole building as it falls around her.
- The shot at 3:28 includes a sword sticking out of the ground with a Bulle Fruit on its hilt, possibly a memorial to the girl whose motif in the opening scene was the same.
- I think Clervie took her own life rather than fight Peruere but it's hard to tell because of the framing. (My reasoning: The time jump shows Peruere looking shocked. When it is revealed Clervie is run through with a blade, we cannot see her arms at all which could indicate they are in front of her, holding the hilt of the sword. The blade that pierced her is covered with blood. Clervie falls, with Peruere seemingly not moving at all or removing the sword from the body. The next shot shows Peruere's reflection, still holding a clean sword in her right hand. Also, Clervie's last words are "I'm sorry...thank you" which are vague but could be interpreted as "I'm sorry [that it has to end this way]...thank you [for being my friend, and not stopping me]". But I can also see the argument she may have meant "I'm sorry [that it has to end this way]...thank you [for being the one to end me]", so that's more speculation on my part.)
- "Mother" raised the children to fight each other so the strongest could be "King", but Peruere's title as the new Harbinger is nearly the opposite, a lowly "Knave".
Something I realized is that the Lumidouce bell is actually used in Lyney's story quest, and they are said to represent "parting"
Thought that was a neat connection
100% agreed
@@caseylp7121 there's also a pretty neat link of plants and stuff between Arlecchino & Clervie and Lyney & Lynette
Arlecchino and Lyney both use the Rainbow Rose to ascend and both have Pyro Visions
just like Clervie is associatd with Lumidouce Bells they're the ascension material needed for Lynette, and while Clervie desired freedom Lynette has an Anemo Vision (with Anemo of course being heavily linked to freedom)
Arlecchino and Clervie were truer family than Clervie was to the previous Knave. Arlecchino's chosen successor has a biological sibling with links to the same plants and concepts that Clervie was linked to. perhaps these similarities contributed to Arlecchino's decision for Lyney to be her preferred successor.
also, while there are no obvious links between Freminet and the previous Knave it should be noted that both of them have Cryo powers to complete the trio of characters.
@@Eclipsed_Embers The previous Knave had a HYDRO vision, not a Cryo vision.
@@ReptilianTeaDrinker huh? really
to be honest it's kinda hard to tell from the animation whether it's ice or water. is it writen down anywhere what she had?
9:22 The entire reason she chose father as the title was to avoid remembering the trauma of what happened to her in her childhood with "mother", not to continue the legacy. while mother pretended to care while being abusive, father doesnt hide her intensions and wants to be transparent with what she will do as seen at the very end of the trailer.
oh yeah i just saw u speculated the same thing in the docs in the pinned comment cool!
i hope chat realizes that is NOT freminet at the end lol. he was already an orphan at the hearth under the previous director before arlecchino's succession. it's one of the most important pieces of information we know about freminet's backstory. also arlecchino's real name is VERY similar to the latin word "peruro/peruere" meaning "to burn up/consume" which i think you should add to the doc instead of the tweet you referenced, or at least alongside it!
age inconsistency, I win
@@vincentdreemurr That kid's eyes aren't even the same colour as Freminet's, also he doesn't even have freckles and his hair is a different shade of blonde too. They look NOTHING alike.
also on the trailer for 4.6 arlecchino was fighting freminet lyney and lynette which i think goes back to her carrying on the 'legacy'
it's also interesting that in terms of plants and certain themes Arlecchino & Clervie match up fairly well to Lyney and Lynette.
Arlecchino and Lyney both have Pyro Visions and ascend using Rainbow Roses, Arlecchino even wants Lyney to be her successor as the next King/Father (and possibly even the next Knave)
Clervie really desired freedom (which is typically linked to Anemo) and is associated with Lumidouce Bells. Lynette has an Anemo Vision and ascends using Lumidouce Bells.
in a way Lyney and Lynette could be seen as the next generation's equivilent to Peruere and Clervie
also, while there aren't as many links between them it's neat that both the previous Knave and Freminet have Cryo powers to complete the trio in each time period.
Seeing a full 7 minute animation like this makes me extremely excited for the anime!! I just hope that we get a anime teaser before Natlan :]
I hope they make more shorts like this! Even if they're only for the 5 stars, ngl I like the short teasers for characters but this animated format gives them more depth and story
I'm also glad the first one we got is for Arlechinno! It gives her more story, instead of people seeing only one side of her, we see how she got to be how she is now
So the reason why Arlecchino's title is "Father" because she doesnt have a good "Mother" figure from the previous knave who is caring on the outside, but in actuality is pretty ruthless and abusive inside. So when Arlecchino took the throne of the House of the Hearth, she changed her ways of being cold and stern as a "Father" but still cares for her children
After rewatching a couple times one thing I noticed about the music is that the children’s choir only comes in after Arlecchino “locks in” aka fighting at her full power. I feel like it represents that she’s fighting for all the children.
That's 100% the intention yea.
3:22 Jake, don't be quiet. We want to see your impressions and your reaction🤍
Agreed. That is why we watch reactions.
I am hoping Hoyoverse are able to keep doing animations for Genshin like they did with HSR
and HI3rd, congratulation for GI, i also want to see more not just PV or very very short animation video. like Sumeru also got one short animetion before we enter to the region but most likely just short PV and that't it. i assume they are keep secretly learning something they should do right now.
hsr doesn't have 8min animation yet with it's own EP release. only hi3 and genshin
Its weird because there is no credit that HoyoAnime done this
I think its made by outside studio
@@YuuSouji I think so too, I'm trying to find out who made it. When arle takes out her schyte it gave me ufotable vibes, but I think they would've said it if ufotable made it because then it's free publicity
@@oh-noe but the light and shadow look very ufOtable's style its remind me so much of Fate series
The scythe is unbelievable tho
Super excited for the anime if its going to look like this
Apparently it’s gonna be made by ufotable but tbh, after seeing this, I’d rather this animation. Got me hyped and screaming the whole way thru
Hmm, ufotable is currently one of the studios who very well utilizes both 3d and 2d animation.. I won't get my hopes up for the anime to become pure 2d especially at fight scenes where ufotable excels at. But don't worry, they are great at hiding impurities in mixing both techniques so it might not really matter much.
@@Azurai_ same studio that makes demon slayer right? alright that’s fine demon slayers animation is beautiful
@@Aster.xox0 same studio that animated some of the fate series anime too, Genshin anime it's in really good hands
@@justyouraveragegamer5065 frr if the anime is good.. i’ll end up whaling on genshin then 😌
So apparatnly Clervie and "mother" were biological mother and daughter which makes it even crazier
It seems like the person that Freminet is "hiding" as mentioned in the 4.6 trailer could be Clervie. There's also a theory that the House of the Hearth used to be an orphanage for descenders and/or outlanders before Arlecchino made it into an actual orphanage as well as a mini-task force. This fact could explain why Clervie is involved in 4.6 considering Lyney, Lynette and Freminet seem to be able to see and help her. The animation also explains why Arlecchino refers to someone she wants to be the next 'King' of the House, turns out it was a tradition from the beginning. The orphanage-is-a-home-for-outlanders/descenders theory is something I'm unsure of, as I've only heard it circling around, but it COULD explain Clervie's existence in the 4.6 quest and Arlecchino's glitches (though, that could be from her curse).
I think she said strict and ruthless father because she wants others to know that she is strict and ruthless but from the inside she cares to be completely opposite of mother i believe that is correct.
Arlechinno LOOKS BADASS
with design of rover
I'm pretty sure Arle raised her children to be strong so they can survive the ruthless world they live in, not so they can fight each other to become "king" like "mother" did. She's strict and unfeeling, because her "caring" "mother" was a horrible person behind that facade.
i cried a lot for some reason. it was so well made and so climactic! can’t wait for 4.6 now!!
LUV ALERCCHINO FOREVERRR
In the very first scene you can see the children with different plant aspects in their clothing (the bulle fruit in the girl’s hair, the lumidouce bell on Clervie’s necklace) and at the end you can see the Bulle fruit with the sword signalling that that’s the girl’s grave, and “Mother” talking about the Lumidouce bell, saying it was withered, talking about how Clervie was not strong enough for her standards, which pisses Arlecchino off so she starts fighting. Also at the end, seeing the Lumidouce bell reminded her of her best friend, which gave her the power and hate for “Mother” to use her full potential to kill the Harbinger. So many cool details that paint an amazing picture of the story!!
ALERCCHINO LOOKS LIKE A FKING VAMPIRE I LOVE HER
This is the best thing to ever come back for Genshin was the lore
7:04 I love how the comments suddenly shouted "SCARA" when they saw him❤😂
Also the part where Pierro is talking with Scara, Signora and Capitano behind him possibly means that they are the oldest one who became a fatui including Dottore and maybe Columbina BECAUSE if you look behind Arlecchino background of her banner, you can see the Snezhnaya logo that has fatui logos AND all those logos resembles each harbinger and we all remember that Childe was the first harbinger we fought then that means it started on the narwhal logo and then signora THEN SCARAMOUCHE and now ARLECCHINO so this MIGHT mean COLUMBINA IS NEXT😨
Neuvilette literally said we are going to meet Captain , next in Natlan.
@@m.v.j6804 it says captain is in Natlan, but we also know Columbina is there with him so you don’t know which one you will meet first, only that they are both there. To be fair I believe the doctor is there too so all top 3 harbingers are in Natlan according to various clues. I think Columbina will be the next playable
this animation was so fucking good and the fact that it was animated by ufotable is crazy bc this is literally a glimpse of what the genshin anime is going to look like.
*11:07* my take on the reason why Arle refers to herself as father and says she'll be strict and unfeeling is because the previous harbinger called herself "mother" and probably raised the kids with " love and kindness " but she only ever hurt all the kids in the house of the hearth. so are took on the role of "father" and "strict and unfeeling" as way to present herself as a direct opposite of "mother".
"if you who represents love does nothing but hurt people, I shall be hatred and do nothing but save people" something like that?
I’m from discord and the animation hit so hard especially the fact that arlecchino got to see the lights but clervie didn’t get to go with her 😭😭
Bro stole my words...it actually felt good to see genshin cook such good stuff.
Idk why y'all pretend like the Xiao animation just does not exist or something. Hoyo fandoms actually pay some attention challenge:
@@justsomeguy727 because this is relevant to the story and that wasn't
Also if you pay attention, the sword that appears in 3:30 is probably blonde girl's weapon (you can see her in 1:04) because of the little balle fruit accessorie
my theory is her curse grows when something dies.
this links into her passive where it drains hp with bond of life or sum shi to do her pyro dmg stuff
also when the flower + spider ded + all children = big black arm
If you pause at 0:50, you'll actually see a figure on the story that appears to be Dottore, reinforcing some suspicions I've had. We know that those children from the House who show potential and grow up end up being Fatui agents, but it's unknown what happens to those who don't. By this, I've always known that it's something they don't want to be revealed so easily, and that it's likely something quite cruel and shady, such as turning into a test subject for Dottore.
fun fact, in CN arlecchino's reply to "Mother" is "Mother, you arent worthy"
Watched this both live and came from discord/the notif, can't wait for Arlecchino's release and hopefully they do release more content like this in the near future! 💙
its so cool that hoyoverse is creating animation such as this, i hope they make more in the future, for future characters even though its gonna cost like a whole ton of money. also, seeing how well made this is, along with how it touched the viewers heart makes me so inspired to continue pursuing art, especially in the field of animation, from dc btw!
The bassline in this song is insane. This is a force to be reckoned with! I now need to see you react on Nick Thurl's new song end up dead 😍
3:21 its all good dude, reactions r all about yk reacting as long someone doesn't talk over dialogue it doesn't matter, and ur right lol that was good sound design not your usual loud THUD
5:37 WAS THAT ARMAMENT HAKI⁉️🗣️
The fact that the devs actually considered this is absolutely amazing, it really gives out a lot of lore that we might now get in-game. I knew there had to be something about the name "Father" and the role of "The Knave", I had a thought about the previous Knave being called mother or even the Tsaritsa having the nickname. Now that also makes me wonder, we get many sneak peeks of the harbingers, but nothing about the Tsaritsa. All we know of her is that she is the cryo archon and the last we will meet in snezhnaya, and with the fact that there was 2 knaves, what if there one's that took the place previously before "mother", and took care of the house of hearth, too. This really can be brought to theories, especially ones for the house of hearth and the harbingers in general. As for an example, was there previous harbingers for each role before Tartaglia with the same codename? Were there any other Pierro's? It really brings the same questions back and forth imo.
Glad to say I watched this live, enjoyed your reaction and the breakdown. It was so in🫶🫶
Oh!! So that's why that Mother's intonation or way of speaking speaking reminds me of like one of those maidens, crystal, mirror, the likes. I haven't gotten to that part yet about her lore, so seeing this animation made me excited to learn more. The animation is so cool!!! I really hope the children would really be able to break whatever curse there is. Also, her arms!!! So much lore!!
"I think I'm gonna stop grinding Primogems now"
Hoyoverse the next day:
The place where they fought is actually in game near the waterfall in fontain next to the big mountain that is half playable
I wonder how this ties back to the HotH lore we got this patch. It was originally created to find a descender, so maybe all the kids are "Outlanders" and "Mother" wanted to see who had the most power to become a "Descender"
I like how you pointed out the lyrics about fate because according to what we know, "Outlanders" are just aliens that reside in Teyvat. "Descenders" have the power to actually change the fate of it, which means there's a chance Arlecchino might be one of them.
Omg this just came out a few hours ago your dedication is insane😭
7:17 Oh nah aventurine is in genshin
It was always apparent to me that Arlecchino had some sort of history and trauma because she was always so intent with being called "father" instead of "mother"- my theory at the time was that it was a trauma trigger word, which turned out to be correct
now with this animated short, its confirmed true
Her "mother" appeared to care about the children on the outside, when in reality she didn't and all she wanted to do was raised a powerful pawn, and she made all the siblings fight and kill each other for the title of "King"
and arlecchino turned out victorious, but had to kill her childhood best friend for it
She realised how wrong it was after losing her best friend like that, and rebelled against "mother"
And in the future ended up as a parent the complete opposite of her "Mother", while she was strict and unfeeling, she actually cares deep down
and finally, she was jailed in snez for her crimes (killing the previous harbinger), where she finally sees the aurora which was what her and clervie had wanted to see together from the small window of her jail cell. such a bittersweet moment where she knows she avenged her and the other children, but she had witnessed it alone without her best friend like promised
the way she sits on the chair in her jail cell is also an exact parallel to plushie arlecchino sitting on a throne atop other plushies in the beginning
the huge amount of plushies indicates how many people she cut down to get there
some details i would like to point out is that arlecchino's friend, clervie, was the "Mother's" biological daughter, who was abused by her for being too weak- that's why Arlecchino asks "Do mothers usually argue with their daughters?"
we know this because it's more prominently said in the other languages and that clervie was all injured when arlecchino asked her that- it implies that the previous knave beat her own daughter
The flower that was withered was the Lumidouce Bell which, in the archives, symbolises partings and the wish for reunion. It symbolises the dead promise that arlecchino and clervie made with each other to go see the aurora in snez, because one ended up killing the other due to "Mother"'s orders and it is also the same flower on Clervie's necklace. So "Mother" mentioning "pruning" the Lumidouce Bell before it withered is symbolically worse than initially thought.
There is a cut to a sword with an orange ball after Clervie's death which might represent the unnamed blonde haired girl with the Bulle Fruit hair tie, so most likely all the other kids are dead too just like the storybook in the beginning foreshadowed.
Arlecchino burying her pet spider at the beginning is a clear reference to her boss form which resembles a spider
a children's choir started to sing when Arlechinno finally stood against "Mother" like all the kids unite to support her when she was losing
in addition, one line in the song is about a bird flying free from a cage, which is a line that the mother uses against arlec during their fight "a bird tied down will never fly the nest"
and the same song says to "free yourself from fate" or something along those lines, and my interpretation is that those are clervie's wishes for arlec even after death, to free herself from this tragedy of an orphanage
could also represent arlecchino not continuing down this ruthless path that all the other previous "mothers" went down, and for arlec to be a parent to the house of the hearth that actually cares for its children
So Arlecchino's curse has nothing to do with the House of Hearth, interesting. I hope they give us some answers cos caterpillar's WQ had left us hanging for too long!
This animation rlly made me want to get back to learning the lore of genshin instead of just playing to get characters or for fun
clervie definitely killed herself with arle sword so she can be the king, but arle cant take it and instead she killed their mother
Hoyo has never hyped up a patch this much before. I am expecting that the 4.6 story will be incredible!
I heard Usagi Flap at the outro
I wonder if Jake is playing BA in his free time 👀
9:18 my thoughts are Clervie probably stabbed herself for Arlechinno, because she said “you will be… a great King” sacrificing herself for Arlechinno so she could be king?? (I’m confused help)
Did anyone else notice how when arlecchino is fighting right after she gets hit into the wall, she seems to dodge all of the attacks like Hoyo mimics in the character demo at the beginning of arlecchino boss fight.
Anybody else notice how fcking short Scara looked. 😂 Also i noticed him at the end.
Absolutely please share your live thoughts. It's animations like these that we really desire your live reactions. The emotions wouldn't be the same after watching it.
never done this before? Tsubaki in thawing snow says hi ..
that was a story pv, this is labeled as a short anime. Different type of animation style made for different reasons
Instantly the most badass character in the game and my new favorite character.
Genuinely such a beautiful and tragic short!! I also got chills when the chorus began to sing, and a part of me wonders if that very prominent children's chorus is meant to represent all of the other orphans Arlecchino is fighting for- if maybe it's intended to represent her shouldering the task of getting vengeance for them against the previous Knave. My personal (probably deeply incorrect) theory is that the boss fight with Arlecchino may be her testing whether the children will turn on each other or stand together against her, to be sure she really has chosen the right successor and to ensure that what happened to her won't happen to anyone else after, given how heavily that trauma appears to have shaped her approach to things.
Idk why people said "WHYYY"
Ifnin the very beggining said that they have to defeat each other to be the king
Now that i remember it... When hyv decided to add animation short in hi3, some red haired playable lady got unalive on the second animation short they've dropped back then.... :'))). And now we have the 2nd animation short too now here in genshin hhsss (iirc we have the ayaka one first) Hoping she's still kicking longer than the next version update HDHDH. Gawd PLEASE RNGSUS LET ME HAVE THE FATHER ON MY PULLS 😭😭😭
Arlecchino calls herself Father coz ofc her "Mother", u get it.
She also stopped the cycle of those children from the previous Knave giving them to Dottore to be experimented.
She actually cares about her children and probably the only thing she do in the Fatui Harbinger is to serve Tsaritsa (by getting the Gnosis) and using the children to find intel about the person she's been looking for which were eventually found by Freminet (this was said in the trailer).
I'M SO EXCITED FOR HER STORY! I HOPE SHE COMES HOME HUHU FATHER PLEASEEEE! NATASHA, RAVEN, ARLECHINNO!!!
I just realized how Arlecchino is now just in her twenties
2:59 "you are my specialz"
If you did the chasm quest you'll notice a lot of the fatui assigned there came from the house of hearth.. Meaning the battleroyale was stopped as they were all adults. Sure they are bred as soldiers young and Ruthless upbringing but they dont kill each other to be "king" anymore.
My First stream! Even though I joined late, I love it. Going to be on more streams in future.
HSR has been favored for so long, this short animated of Arlecchino will be a testament to genshin's return, she is a great Father!
"favored" I swear, you people really are conditioned by corporate marketing tactics into believing these companies care about anything besides siphoning your money and time.
Also "return" implies it left. Arle's animation has almost as many views as Acheron's animated short in a fraction of the time. Game never went anywhere lmao.
Damn, i was on guarantee and saving it for clorinde
Guess i'm sold by this smoll arlechinno
To make things easier, arlecchino was still born as a oceanid if shes from fontaine
Yep everyone has their own tragic backstory, even the crimson reaper herself.
maybe arlecchino wants the children to fight her instead of them fighting against each other
Arlecchino (Perruere) have black hand and curse like Cattepillar. Her friend which she kill will appear in Arlecchino quest.
The way if Genshin made a full blown anime I would watch it the moment it drops
her friends necklace is the same flower “mother” prunes down. also the same flower which will be arlecchino farming material which is interesting yet sad.
What I understand is that, "mother" made the children fight for the title of "king" and arlecchino becomes the new "king". If you see in the 4.6 trailer, ferminent, Lynette and lyney are fighting arlecchino and lyney says "i am not saying i have all the answers, but doing so will only bring us further apart from being a real family!" After arlecchino said "I want you to become the next "king" of the house. Yet,you seem to have different ideas" I think he was referring to that the fight will cause death and pain and that it's not worth killing/fighting your family for a title. I also speculate that clervie is the real daughter of "mother" seeing how they look so alike
just imagine how STRONG and op these other fatui harbringers are when Arlecchino as a child is already crazy and a 4th😭😭
My take on what I think is gonna happen is, Arlecchino's gonna test them to see if they can stand up to fate, fate being the world they were brought into, and the fate in which their cards were dealt with at the very start. She becomes a physical representation of a parent's unyielding hope that their children will survive long after their gone, but I think that won't be the only thing though, I think she wants to see if the children have the same profound bond she felt when she was with Clervie and that if it's there. I just think she's being a very very strict parent, because she knows the pain of loss, the pain of misfortune to be brought into the world down on her luck, so she fortifies her children to be strong, even if she has to be ruthless
it feels so unreal for some reason idk 😭😭
THE F’IN KICK INTO THE ROOF AND THE GLASS SHATTERING OMG!
I don't see why you should stay quiet during the animation. I mean, it's the cool thing about reactions!
You did a great job, don't worry ❤
I get what people say but all imma say is that the kick was above perfection
i feel like the curse arlecchino has is the markings on her arm
that look like she's wearing black gloves or something and as a child it was only at her finger tips so probably when she was getting older the curse was getting worse making the marks cover her whole hand
0:00 i guess Ayaka getting her vision animated short didn't exist, or the video of. Xiao on his rerun ...
2.5D
You can find the location Arlecchino Vs mother near on "Monte Esus - Pie Oriental wow
I wonder if her curse has spread through her body and that's why she covers up. You can see her curse spreading through her arm when she was looking at the flower.
im from discord and wooooww!! who wouldve known arlecchino wasnt her real name?
Not a single harbinger aside maybe Scaramouche goes by their actual name lol Tartaglia/Childe is Ajax, Signora was Rostlyne (probably misspelled) etc etc. Come on now ..
Remember in the trailer when freminet had something that arlecchino was looking for? Maybe it has something to do with her past like something with that pink hair girl or even that "mother" and maybe freminet did this cuz he had a bad feeling abt it and knew something is abt to happen
The Fact Arle was a teenager and kicked a damn HARBINGER into a roof and killed her is actually embarrassing
I feel it every time I see her, but if I shoot a legend like this with Arleschino, the villainous flame character, how will it look when Natta comes out... and even there needs to be a real consul of fire 🔥
i LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE the music in this animation it made every scene so much more hype i rly hope they release it in the next stellar moments album
also that was not fremi he was alr there when the previous knave was in charge she lied to him and told him his mother didn't want him n stuff, then when arle came into power she told fremi the truth. i think since he was there earlier he may know clervy/clervie and that's who he's hiding, although for what
I think the siblings said that when arlechino take charge the rule change from die for the house to cherish your life, she is not continuing the game. This much is confirmed
You don’t need to shut up we’re watching this to see your reaction!❤
