I just find it funny that Kazuha can face his demons and tame the cursed blade, but Ei can’t even stop Scaramouche from reaping havoc in her nation and stealing her gnosis. She just pretends like her creation doesn’t even exist while Kazuha owns up to his clan’s downfall and take responsibility for the mess the blade made by possessing others before it got worse.
Scaramouche didn't steal Ei gnosis. Yae are the one give to scaramouche to save Traveller life. Ei never give damn about her gnosis or even use it. After ei get that gnosis from her sister corpse she give it to yae ask her to take care it 500 years ago. Where do you get Scaramouche steal ei gnosis??? If yae give to scaramouche willingly then that is not steal.
Its not like she has free time to run around chasing him all over the place. 1st he fled Inazuma after his attack of kamisato and kazuhas clan like 400 years ago, 2nd Yae litteraly gave him the gnosis, it wasnt her to be 'stolen' nor would she really care since celestia does not matter to her. If Scaramouche would even try as much to step foot into the current Inazuma and does not actually hide around and cowardly work in shadows, Ei would dispose of him with little to no effort what so ever.
@@ognjenaleksandric3800 she would really have the time if he had succeeded if it weren't for the traveler she would have been partly blamed for letting her creation run amoc imagine he came back and caused destruction as a new god now that would have made her more responsible regardless if she had difficulty or not that's a blunder from her side like yae miko said she really is pig headed sometimes
1:09:38 Honestly, mad kudos to the VA of the blade especially this part. He did a stellar job for a character who will most likely never appear outside of this one story quest!
It's a rather interesting take in possessive sword, and its long journey from all the way toward the Russian Icy Palace of Snezhnya through the perilous judgment of Fontaine, down to the scorching deserts and dense jungles of Sumeru, then toward the geo nation of Lyiue, and then finally making it toward the Secluded land of Inazuma. A long journey bound with evil misdeeds. Love the story and the introduction to a free weapon.
A lot of people complain about Kazuha first story quest being boring... Do you know what it reminded me of? "Raiden's first Story Quest is irrelevant". It's just opinions of those who don't care about lore. It is very obvious that this quest with lead into something greater, and there will be more story revolving around the Kaedehara clan and it's swordmaking history which also involve many others.
Finally I found a play through of this quest. I can't do the quest because I cant play Genshin for several reasons that it really hurt a gamer(the platform I'm playing is broken :( )
Same especially since I play on mobile and ran out of storage space (I also deleted many apps/photos) and was still unable to play but I mean nothing you can do abt it anymore ig
@@lolawho yeah I'm playing on laptop. It has little storage so basically genshin is the only game I can play with it but the charger isn't working so I can't charge it like almost 2 months now.
Kazuha: Ayaka, please hold my Freedom-Sworn while I'm testing this sword. Ayaka: Why did you want to use this sword, and I thought you constantly wield one of the Mondstadt's Millennial Movement weapons. Kazuha: I'll show this sword how it works. Ayaka: Okay, but don't get killed by the Nobushis or Kairagis. If your sword is weaken, I'll give you back your Freedom-Sworn to fight back. Kazuha: Got it!
@@DetectivThomas How is this quest not relevant when the conclusion is Kazuha dedicating himself to learning and reviving Isshin Art and restoring the Kaedehara name?
I called it before it was confirmed in the story: the cursed sword itself was the main antagonist of this quest. If anything, it very much reminds me of Soul Edge from the Soulcalibur series: a cursed sword that harbors an evil consciousness, possesses it's wielder, and forces them to commit unspeakable atrocities in pursuit of it's goal to gain more power. But frankly, that allusion is not a bad thing. I do quite love the Soulcalibur series (in fact, I would go as far as to say it's my favorite fighting game series, even more than Super Smash Bros.), so any nod to my favorite fighting game is a welcome one in my book. I would hope that the developers at miHoYo made that allusion a deliberate one.
It's this specific quest that we learned the fact... not only did the Traveler repelled the Musou no Hitotachi but he even defeated it was hidden to everyone, pretty much only Yae Guuji and Ei herself knows it. Imagine if truth broke out to the public, people would be shaking when the Traveler simply walking down the street, and Ayaka would definitely be chasing our Traveler. And the other Archons, especially Zhongli would be so curious about it he might ask the Traveler for a spar.
personally this quest is just.. good, but there's something off about it. Maybe it's because I played Kazuha's Mirage before watching this? idk. I didn't really like all the going around to npcs, but i get why hoyo did it.
Kazuha is my favourite character but this quest has got to be one of the most boring story quest. Literally 80% of the quest is useless dialogue that makes you want fall asleep. This is why I just don’t bother and speed run most quests (except archon quests) for the reward.
@@potatogirl4484 This is not included in the archon quest. Story quests are unlocked separately using keys obtained from finishing 8 daily commissions.
This quest was worse than Ganyu's, Ayato's, Yae Miko's, Hu Tao's etc. Why THE FUCK did they even consider recounting the details of the Irodori festival???? That entire event may as well not have existed due to this quest outright detailing its entire plotline in 1 discussion. Moreover, why the hell are we back at the vision hunt decree being repealed when Sakoku is gone by this point? And no, making it a prequel quest isnt a valid excuse when you can literally just have Kazu rerun before Raiden rerun problem solved. Additionally when searching for clues and stuff regarding their whereabouts, why not integrate Heizou into the quest? Would only have to be brief but would clearly show the player the relationship between Heizou and Kazuha with vision hunt then abolished. This quest was nothing short of mistake after mistake and sets the bar remarkably low for whatever Tighnari's quest is.
I don’t know but is it because it’s not mandatory to play iridori festival before his story quest? Because if you missed it then you wouldn’t know anything about the backstory
This is true kazuha is literally my fav character in genshin but his story quest is so boring. When they mention about all those detective things I was waiting for Heizou to appear but he didn't :( idk of it just me but this story quest felt so long I almost fall asleep while doing it
This story was pretty mid. Not a fan of the "alive sword" gimmick. It always goes one of 2 ways: 1. It's evil and it gets a redemption in the end 2. It's evil and you need to destroy it to brake the curse/mind control/etc.
What other way could they take a story like this though? 3. It's evil, but you're also evil and so you decide to help it out? 4. Its actually a good conscious weapon (according to TV Tropes, this was actually the first trope)
I couldn't believe that this is his 1st story quest.. Man times flies do you...
Yeah, i couldn't believe it either, why hoyo gave him such a shitty first story quest omg...
@AnDeviGG a free weapon that most will never use on him, right indeed.
What?

Then he goes back being soft.
Inner Rengoku coming out of Kazuha
so apparently, not only that you can talk to rocks in Genshin,... but you can also talk to swords, & some of them needs therapist🤔
I came here to hear kazuha raise his voice 44:04

Just a theory but could the blade of the shogun ( Musou Isshin ) be crafted by the isshin art ancestry as a gift for the almighty shogun ?
Unfortunately no. Original Archon Makoto forged the blade herself with using her Archon powers.
@@yusufcanislam7500 Where it is mentioned, because I never knew this ?
@@cyd3541 You can buy a book from Yae Publishing house that tells the story about Ei&Makoto
So how did this one get cursed? Did the dude walk by the cursed aura??
@@SpikeTheWolf the smith forged it using Tatarigami, probably through some kind of energy source during the forging process

Reminds of Anubis from JoJo part 3, who is an ownerless Stand that can also possess whoever wields it
The way I immediately recognized Kamaji’s voice
This means a lot, thankies!

So this entire story was a JoJo reference with the sword being the Anubis Stand 💀

Bro thank u soo much for this video I have been looking for it and no one had it
Is it just me, or is Kazuha's story quest literally just Kazuha going off on how the sword that we get in this quest isn't made for him.
Stay Cool for Kazuha
really expect from him to mention his dead friend name...
Thank you for the effort!!
The cursed Isshin Blade is the equivalent of a Sith in Genshin, and Kazuha is pretty much a Jedi
i wish there was a mod at gamebanana that made the Kagotsurube Isshin (the red sword) continue with the purple glow
But is it okay for the sword's concious to go? It feels sad
When they gotta make a new story for Kazuha just to Matrix dodge his involvement with Ei and Scara
So they're assuming that you didn't play 2.6?
uhm... do you mean the event?
@@Chanti_the_writer yeah, the irodori festival

the best quest in my opinion
Yea it was so fun imo , I already miss it
