Xilonen is most definitely based on a jaguar rather than a cheetah since she's seen lying on a tree branch and the pattern on her tail looks very similar to jaguars. Plus jaguars are mostly found in South America... I hope she's a catalyst user since the only Geo one is Ningguang
If the gnosis is not in Natlan, there was a creator a few months ago (I watch many, so I confuse them a lot) that speculated that our good ol’ Benny is the one with the gnosis. Their reasoning was something along the lines of the quote referencing how a gnosis is a curse/brings misfortune just like how Bennett experiences consistent unluckiness/misfortune. There was also mention of a Phoenix/Sun-Flame “dual ruler” of Natlan, where one half was rebirthed but taken away (Benny being found left in Mare Jivari as a baby) while the other half transitioned but stayed in Natlan- something like that. I wish I could remember the name of the creator 😅
heres the issue with that theory, every person from natlan is cursed with misfortune whenever they leave natlan. thats why we never see natlan npc's and thats why bennet has misfortune all the time. if it were only the gnosis that brings bad luck, then npcs would be able to roam freely all around teyvat but they dont. in fact, people around teyvat seem to avoid natlan at all costs. even well known adventurers.
Yeah but this is disproven since a girl has the same bad luck in the trailer. What it showed is that Bennett is from Natlan and probably from one of those tribes not that he is the Gnosis
@@HerrscherOfFate-x8p But Lansan can be from the same tribe as Bennett can't he? and didn't Skirk say that the unfortunate follows if you stay to close to the Gnosis for long periods of time
Something worth noting is that the manga translation is notoriously incorrect. There's a good chance we actually don't know anything about the appearance of the pyro archon that Venti speaks of, since the original language pre-translation had Venti use a gender neutral term, and later uses of the Chinese characters for "Murata" were used for "Natlan", as in the nation's name. So a possibly more accurate translation could be that Venti identified Vanessa as a "Child of Natlan", and then referred to the Pyro Archon's gender ambiguously.
the new characters seem to have an animal theme: Mualani - Seal Xilonen - Jaguar Kachina - Pica Citlali - Axolotl Chasca - Bird, maybe an eagle or a Hawk Kinich - Reptile, probably a snake Iansan - ? Ororon - Maybe a wolf
I'm totally on your side that as we have interacted with the Fatui more and more, we've gotten more amiable with the harbingers and Capitano will be no exception. After all, Arlecchino has a reputation as a crazy woman and we STILL got along with her well. With Capitano having a reputation as a righteous, fair man I think we can actually expect to be on his side. To be super honest, it's the one thing i'm REALLY looking forward to in Natlan. Cheers on the awesome video dude!!!
With regards to Citlali, it was stated in Mualani’s drip marketing that Mualani wanted her to read her fortunes, so she’s very likely a fortune teller or something along those lines.
Regarding Mavuika's weapon of choice, I hope they go the Heizou/Rizzley route and make her a brawler that keeps a catalyst in her back pocket while attacking with punches and kicks. It would solve the issue of too many pyro claymore users, while adhering to her "God of War" theme. Or, alternatively, she could use a polearm and pull a shield out of hammerspace like Candace, and go all Spartan warrior on enemies.
Things I want to add, either from the drip marketing, or what I noticed in the trailers, or merely my theories : -Kachina is said to be ostracized from her people, the Nanatzcayan. This would explain why the Tepetlisauri-dressed enemies would attack her. -Kinich is explicitly a Saurian Hunter, which is frowned upon by his tribe and Natlanians in general. I don't know if this discredits or reinforces your idea of there being an anti-saurian tribe, to be honest. -From the fire surrounding Mavuika and her arena, to the lava flowing in Natlan's cave, as well as the rocks that the Nanatzcayan enemy is seen chucking at Kachina, there seems to be an overabundance of the combination of orange and teal. Perhaps this is the primal fire, ever present in Natlan ? -Both Kinich and the Dendro Saurian don't seem to have a grappling that is identical to the Four Leaf Sigils or the orbs in Chenyu Vale. Indeed, they are both seen grappling to emblems like the Four Leaf Sigils, but here they seems to afterward create their own emblems to grapple to. So, I believe that the mechanic will have us grapple to a sigil, then give us 2/3 "charges" to create our own grapple points mid-air, before having to get to a grapple point once more. -Will Mualani be able to surf on lava too ? Yeouch. -Perhaps Mavuika's kit will have her be able to resurrect after going down, and maybe get a buff in the process ? It would be fitting with...everything around Natlan. -Chasca's design reminds me less of American or African culture, and more of the Conquistadors that colonized those cultures. Aight, that's all I had to say
It's surely a primal fire. It hides a Pyro Gnosis. Once Tsaritsa gets all the 7 Gnosis, she will perform "Project Stuzha" which is a ritual that will use the power of all 7 gnosis to change every Genshin player into a white person so Hoyo won't deal with accusations again.
i think citlali will be a fortune teller, if you see mualani’s drip marketing quote, citlali states that she read mualani’s fortune for the next century
One thing i think you forgot to mention, The Harbinger Clock. It has never been wrong and currently Next on the line is Columbina which 100% Confirms She IS the next Harbinger boss fight we are going to have,and also another thing,i think we will get her Playable as a 5 Star Cryo DPS, because it makes the most sense.She would be disconnected from the Nephilim as a Seelie like in real life folklore ,also another thing:She has godly powers and there is no way she is not a dps.Besides that fact all released Harbingers so far have all been DPS. Imo Capitano will be released in Shneznaya, perfectly finishing the Harbinger clock circle in half,also strongest Harbinger for the strongest/last nation seems valid.That being said,great analysis and video!
Hi! Latina here. I LOVE this video, my culture finally being on genshin is a dream come true! Other from the skin tone issue (I don’t intended to start a fight in the comments, but Latinos would really appreciate if you stopped complaining about a culture that isn’t yours, yes hoyo race decisions are questionable but let the minorities be the one to raise up the issue), the designs have their charm. Kinich looks like your standard teenage boy from here, mualani’s tribal tattoos and maracas are very present in indigenous reserves, and Kachina is the cutest chinchilla ever (ignore the fact that some neighbors make chinchillas soup). I’m glad someone is finally looking at us because apart from Encanto, everyone seems to neglect Latino culture to a big dirty Mexico, I just hope you guys can come over and check our culture out (pero seamos honestos, nadie quiere ir a latam) Edit: The graffiti was a nice touch too, there area disgusting amount of them everywhere you look at where I live
I'm actually very happy they didn't go the Unga bunga route. I'm sincerely happy they didn't do that to mesoamerica. A lot Latinas I've met are good people with big hearts and bigger personalities. So I'm happy Aztec, Incan, and Mayan mythology and cultures getting the spotlight along with others. Any particular that caught your eyes? I really love Kinich, Xilonen, Chasca, Mavuika, and Ororon.
42:40 I'm no cat expert but based on her name being inspired by an Aztec goddess, and the large spots on her tail, I'd place my bets on her being a Jaguar instead.
From 3.6 event and second Cyno's story quest we know that AL-Haitham no longer acting grand sage, he resigned during 3.6 event story, and they bring it up again recently with cyno's story quest when we meet AL-Haitham and Kaveh in the forest
FYI , pyro archon didn't name 'Murata' Murata is name of a tribe that exodus from Natlan thousand years ago in Manga. Mu-rata mean people of Mu which venti called them child of lady of fire actual name of pyro archon remain unknown.
when you were describing the idea of the pyro archon maybe reincarnating and having/losing memories of past lives, I was picturing a bit like Avatar the Last Airbender 🤔 with each Avatar being a different "person" but they can channel memories of past lives and even talk to them. i could imagine Mavuika being like the "Korra" who loses that link to past selves. maybe a pyro archon is born from a different tribe each time and the gnosis passed on? maybe it's always a redhead and that's how they know? 😂 i'm also curious about Xbalanque since the myth their name comes from is about Mayan hero twins, and genshin loooves their twins/duality theming. but usually it's been the archon who has theme of duality. which makes you wonder, just who is Xbalanque and will there be a Hunahpu? 🤔
kinda leaks but more speculation then anything i predict that Xbalanque will be the one we resurect and that he is the fire that wre saw mavuika talked to in the trailer. I mean Xbalanque was said to be in "entombed" with the primal fire .Also in some leaks it said that Xbalanque is more like a guidence figure to the pyro archonso that so thats intresting. mavuikas adutiude towards that fire kinda has a deep conection and caringness towards it and i think that fits and somthing we havnt really seen before (that the curent pyro archon taking care of the privious) and its my guess that mavuikas secret that she will tell us is that she wishs to resurect the privous archon and go derctly against celestia. its also posible that she might insted resurect the pyro sovereign. idk mavuikas is 100% hiding somthing and her loud announcer like voice chould be a cover up to seem more put togther much like furina(and maybe venti). ALSO SPEAKING OF VENTI its intresting that he called the pyro archon a "wayward warmongering wretch" which doesnt seem like its the case so im crious to why vent says that. also sorry for bad spelling i just woke up
Although I'm very happy to see all these lore bits throughout this video, I'm still disappointed by the lack of representation of PoC amongst the characters showed to us, it's disrespectful to say the least to the cultures hoyoverse is getting inspiration from, I really hope they listen the community upon this issue, this is the Nation that takes references on multiple places of the world (including my own country) and it's just sad to see aspects of these places being greatly represented such as the landscape and music, but the people from these places are not made justice the same way. Thanks for the little part on the video where you briefly talk about this Silicone! I really hope Natlan is amazing in *all* their aspects, without leaving anything relevant behind!
LEAK WARNING Xbalanque seems to be the first pyro archon from some text that got leaked? He was a legendary hero who became the pyro archon after fighting off a dragon. It doesn’t erase the fact he could be the Pyro Sovereign but makes it more likely based off the way it was worded and some of the stuff it said. Him using third person to talk about sovereigns could be that he doesn’t consider himself one anymore, but still has knowledge about them from when he was.
@IMtiredal these were recent, after the second teaser. Take it with a grain of salt, most leaks are unreliable, I just thought it was an interesting piece of info (that may or may not be true lol)
I'd be careful jumping to conclusions. Hoyoverse loves to lead people astray. That same leak implies Natlan do NOT know full truth and it's very muddled.
I think mavuika could be the daughter of the previous pyro archon and she absorbed her moms powers. All the pyro characters have relations to family and, in hawaiian mythology there is pele the kupua of volcanoes Kupua are not gods but they have magic and are worshipped. Kupua are not demigods but the word kupua is sometimes translated as demigod. Also i think xilonen is a jaguar not a cheetah. Xilonen is named after an aztec maize goddess. According to wikipedia this maize goddess is associated with tezcatlipoca, the god of darkness, obsidian and jaguars. This obsidian connection is shown in xilonens obsidian hair accessories. Xilonen could be a sword user cuz obsidian is VERY sharp but i hope she's a catalyst user. Lastly i think ororon anemo (associated with freedom) and is working with capitano to let people of natlan leave safely. (Also i hope hoyo does something about skin tones. Im not sure how that debate is going down)
I know it might sound lame but I love maps lol. One of my favorite things in your videos is when you speculate where an area will be and put it on the Teyvat map! Loved that part, thanks for the great video!
Bennett theory time! I swear he is the reincarnation of the lava walker, it would line up with the whole "primal fire eraeses memories" too. Hope thats brought up
LEAKS - NATLAN Natlan is located on the west of the Desert Of Hadrameth (terrible spelling). There will be a "gateway" that you'll enter like the journey that we took in that thin part of the map to travel to Fontaine 4.0. You'll get three tribes in Natlan in 5.0: Geo Tribe, Dendro Tribe, Hydro Tribe 5.1: Anemo Tribe and Electro Tribe 5.2: Pyro Tribe aka volcano.
Also, Natlan DOES have a main city called: "Stadium of the sacred flame" also Katherine is there so it backs up my point also this is the arena you spoke of which is correct. Natlan does NOT have multiple cities. The tribes are like their own settlement with their own element so their not really considered cities. 51:43 - Its called "Ancestorial Temple" on the 5.0 leaked map and is remains of an old temple the tribes used to worship. Any more questions about Natlan's map and places, tribes, map expansions please ask me (im a leaker on map expansions and maps in genshin so ask me anything you wish. I'll happily answer!)
In terms of playability, all archons are supports (even Raiden, since she speeds up Burst rotations and dmg) and all Harbingers are DPS (and again Childe is a dps even if it is as an enabler), so if Columbina became playable, she would too be a dps
LEAK WARNING I read somewhere that we won't be getting the Pyro traveler in 5.0 for lore reasons, and it immediately sent me into a fit. Then I remembered one of Venti's pre release voice lines about the Pyro Archon that went something like "Wow, you actually got her power" (Not word for word, it was roughly like that). With Mavuika looking suspiciously like Himeko, I am afraid that we are going to be getting Pyro powers Kiana style (trauma ---> more trauma ----> even more trauma ------> power up)
Omg, have been waiting for that video, so excited, i cant imagine how much time and effort youve put into this video and we all apprecciate it so much!! ❤❤
There are some interesting points here but I feel like there is way too much speculation given the amount of information we have. For starters, there is no indication a sovereign will play a part in the storyline. You'd think Neuvillette would mention that there is another sovereign in Natlan, instead he specifically said the dragons that do reside there are of a different kind.
STORY AND CHARACTER LEAKS: It's been leaked that the Traveler will be the one to obtain the Pyro Gnosis in Natlan. And the Pyro MC kit isn't going to be released in 5.0 but instead after the Archon Quest comes to an end when we obtain the Gnosis. (Similar to the MC kits in Star Rail) This is also very likely the case given that it'd be weird that the Fatui have all 7 Gnosis' and still decide to wait a year for us to show up in Snezhnaya for them to actually start their grand plan. The Traveler being the owner of the Pyro Gnosis also opens up the possible story arc of the Tsaritsa actually trying to befriend us to help the Fatui with whatever their grand plan actually is, so that she is also playable. (It'd be weird having one of our 2 biggest enemies be on the team.)
either the pyro archon is dead or the gnosis isn't in Natlan. What we know for a fact is that we won't be able to resonate with the statue of the seven. As we are aware, the traveler can resonate with the elements through the statue and does not need the archons' permission, as if we did, the Raiden shogun would have denied us access when we first came to Inazuma. either the gnosis is missing or the archon/dragon is dead. Plus, we would have seen Pyro Traveler leaks by now if we are able to unlock it.
I like how the harbingers were presented as scary and mean but maybe 2 out of 11 have so far been a threat to the traveler (I’m thinking scara in inazuma and dotore in sumeru. Signora was never that scary or a threat) which is about the same ratio as the archons we’ve met so far haha
My kids playing palworld and with the natlan skin color drama I had the intrusive thought "there is only one race in tehyvat, xinyan is just a rare shiney"
Here to be THAT guy!! It's pronounced SHHH-BALANQUE, not Shaba Lanque! Great video! I usually never sit through hour long vids (much less genshin ones) BUT THIS WAS SO DOPE IM SO EXCITED
I think Mavuika would definitely be Claymore if she is supposed to be Himeko. If she's not a resurrected form of Himeko, then probably another weapon. I think it makes more sense fan-service wise for her to be Himeko/Murata because of what happened in HI3 lol.
I really like the idea that Mavuika is trying to revive the previous pyro archon, only to accidentally revive the pyro sovereign. It would explain why they weren't in any of the trailers, despite dragon sovereigns taking a large role in the plot so far. I would be very surprised to not see the sovereign/not see the sovereign regain their abilities. I also like to think Capitano IS the pyro sovereign, but I know there's like no evidence for it so it's just a fun thought I'm considering while we wait for the actual story. Also with the events of the 4.8 story, I'm very curious to see the parallels. Already, the quest with the queen of the flying squirrels and the frog is standing out to me a LOT. That's also not to say all of the stuff about fate/prophecy and convincing the different clans within the simulanka to accept that their story was neither incorrect nor correct, and the whole dvalin story, etc etc etc. Lots to consider going into Natlan, and I'm excited to see it all play out. Also I wish so desperately that the Natlan characters weren't paper white :((
Leak spoilers Xbalanque was apparently either the original Pyro archon or the pyro dragon sovereign. Even the people of Natlan apparently don't know. Update: xbalanque was the first pyro archon, and the pyro sovereign is called Xolotl
I believe Columbina will appear as an NPC that we need to help for a Quest, then there will be a reveal at the end. as we never saw her in teasers and trailers they are hiding her. lols..
LEAK WARNING !!!! Mavuika is actually expected to be a claymore user. She is also expected to be an off field sub dps who can become an on field character by unlocking her constellations. Kachina is a polearm user. And Mualani is a hydro catalyst main dps. Kinich is a dendro claymore main dps as well
I wonder if the pyro archon is like a phoenix and if you beat them in the ball game they burn up and are born again? Like whoever wins the ballgame becomes the new physical vessel for the pyro archon. If the ball game in the trailer is like mesoamerican ball games it might be what they do now instead of war and if you want to fight the pyro archon you go against them in a ball game
![[4.8] What Simulanka Tells Us About Natlan - A Genshin Impact Theory](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vqBUhfArTOs/mqdefault.jpg)
Just saved me from my 2 hour commute boredom
Xilonen is most definitely based on a jaguar rather than a cheetah since she's seen lying on a tree branch and the pattern on her tail looks very similar to jaguars. Plus jaguars are mostly found in South America... I hope she's a catalyst user since the only Geo one is Ningguang
According to sussy leaks, she is going to be a sword user

Yeah but this is disproven since a girl has the same bad luck in the trailer. What it showed is that Bennett is from Natlan and probably from one of those tribes not that he is the Gnosis
Here's the issue, we can tell that Iansan has bad luck as well.
@@HerrscherOfFate-x8p But Lansan can be from the same tribe as Bennett can't he? and didn't Skirk say that the unfortunate follows if you stay to close to the Gnosis for long periods of time
Something worth noting is that the manga translation is notoriously incorrect. There's a good chance we actually don't know anything about the appearance of the pyro archon that Venti speaks of, since the original language pre-translation had Venti use a gender neutral term, and later uses of the Chinese characters for "Murata" were used for "Natlan", as in the nation's name. So a possibly more accurate translation could be that Venti identified Vanessa as a "Child of Natlan", and then referred to the Pyro Archon's gender ambiguously.
the new characters seem to have an animal theme:
Mualani - Seal
Xilonen - Jaguar
Kachina - Pica
Citlali - Axolotl
Chasca - Bird, maybe an eagle or a Hawk
Kinich - Reptile, probably a snake
Iansan - ?
Ororon - Maybe a wolf
THIS is interesting for real this might be hiding the natural order the quest we did in Chengu Vale.
Iansan could be a bat
Ororon has bat wings and bat ears.
If you search on google kinich you will see the Mayan god holding serpents so most likely
finally my dream of xiao is a snake comes true
I'm totally on your side that as we have interacted with the Fatui more and more, we've gotten more amiable with the harbingers and Capitano will be no exception.

Omg time to sit and watch this like it’s a movie
With regards to Citlali, it was stated in Mualani’s drip marketing that Mualani wanted her to read her fortunes, so she’s very likely a fortune teller or something along those lines.
I love love LOVE your theory about Dottore using the primal fire to burn Irminsul. It felt like all the dots connected for a second.
34:23 - Kachina is a Pika. Her constellation is Ochotona Princeps, which is the scientific name for the American Pika. So no, she is not a rabbit.
SiliconOneFour is so criminally underrated, his contents deserve more views and likes!
GOD I hope capitano is just pure physical with no element whatsoever
Regarding Mavuika's weapon of choice, I hope they go the Heizou/Rizzley route and make her a brawler that keeps a catalyst in her back pocket while attacking with punches and kicks.
It would solve the issue of too many pyro claymore users, while adhering to her "God of War" theme. Or, alternatively, she could use a polearm and pull a shield out of hammerspace like Candace, and go all Spartan warrior on enemies.

I feel like the pyro dragom sovereign xbalanque is the literal fire mauvika was talking to.
El capitano is a Nephilim, then that would explain his power and why he doesn't have a vision
LEAKS WARNING!
According to the leaks he is actually an alien just like the Traveler. But he is not a descender.
@@pepita2437 ....
so he is an outlander, since to be a descender, he had to have a will to rival the world law
Natlan is like Teyvat within Teyvat.
i think citlali will be a fortune teller, if you see mualani’s drip marketing quote, citlali states that she read mualani’s fortune for the next century
Wait then can it be that she's related to the hexcinzirkel?

Murata is name of a tribe that exodus from Natlan thousand years ago in Manga.
Mu-rata mean people of Mu

Her name should be himeko then lol but maybe 😂
isnt her name mauvika..? like from announced tweets? ? isnt she the archon??
@@LeafletsRealityI think they're talking about her Archon name. Like how Zhongli/Morax is Rex Lapis and Nahida/Buer is lesser lord Kusanali.

Although I'm very happy to see all these lore bits throughout this video, I'm still disappointed by the lack of representation of PoC amongst the characters showed to us, it's disrespectful to say the least to the cultures hoyoverse is getting inspiration from, I really hope they listen the community upon this issue, this is the Nation that takes references on multiple places of the world (including my own country) and it's just sad to see aspects of these places being greatly represented such as the landscape and music, but the people from these places are not made justice the same way.
Thanks for the little part on the video where you briefly talk about this Silicone! I really hope Natlan is amazing in *all* their aspects, without leaving anything relevant behind!
hoyo is terrified of melanin
LEAK WARNING
Xbalanque seems to be the first pyro archon from some text that got leaked? He was a legendary hero who became the pyro archon after fighting off a dragon. It doesn’t erase the fact he could be the Pyro Sovereign but makes it more likely based off the way it was worded and some of the stuff it said. Him using third person to talk about sovereigns could be that he doesn’t consider himself one anymore, but still has knowledge about them from when he was.
@IMtiredal these were recent, after the second teaser. Take it with a grain of salt, most leaks are unreliable, I just thought it was an interesting piece of info (that may or may not be true lol)
@IMtiredal no, this text came from the 5.0 beta.
I'd be careful jumping to conclusions. Hoyoverse loves to lead people astray. That same leak implies Natlan do NOT know full truth and it's very muddled.
It's Zhongli again with his 1hr+ theory video 🗣️🗿🐐
I think mavuika could be the daughter of the previous pyro archon and she absorbed her moms powers. All the pyro characters have relations to family and, in hawaiian mythology there is pele the kupua of volcanoes
Kupua are not gods but they have magic and are worshipped. Kupua are not demigods but the word kupua is sometimes translated as demigod.
Also i think xilonen is a jaguar not a cheetah.
Xilonen is named after an aztec maize goddess. According to wikipedia this maize goddess is associated with tezcatlipoca, the god of darkness, obsidian and jaguars.
This obsidian connection is shown in xilonens obsidian hair accessories.
Xilonen could be a sword user cuz obsidian is VERY sharp but i hope she's a catalyst user.
Lastly i think ororon anemo (associated with freedom) and is working with capitano to let people of natlan leave safely.
(Also i hope hoyo does something about skin tones. Im not sure how that debate is going down)
So I finally got to watching the video now, and I gotta say, Nathan is gonna be an absolute feast!
I know it might sound lame but I love maps lol. One of my favorite things in your videos is when you speculate where an area will be and put it on the Teyvat map! Loved that part, thanks for the great video!
life is good, even better when SiliconOneFour posts a video about genshin lore
Bennett theory time! I swear he is the reincarnation of the lava walker, it would line up with the whole "primal fire eraeses memories" too. Hope thats brought up
LEAKS - NATLAN
Natlan is located on the west of the Desert Of Hadrameth (terrible spelling). There will be a "gateway" that you'll enter like the journey that we took in that thin part of the map to travel to Fontaine 4.0.
You'll get three tribes in Natlan in 5.0: Geo Tribe, Dendro Tribe, Hydro Tribe
5.1: Anemo Tribe and Electro Tribe
5.2: Pyro Tribe aka volcano.
Also, Natlan DOES have a main city called: "Stadium of the sacred flame" also Katherine is there so it backs up my point also this is the arena you spoke of which is correct. Natlan does NOT have multiple cities. The tribes are like their own settlement with their own element so their not really considered cities.
51:43 - Its called "Ancestorial Temple" on the 5.0 leaked map and is remains of an old temple the tribes used to worship.
Any more questions about Natlan's map and places, tribes, map expansions please ask me (im a leaker on map expansions and maps in genshin so ask me anything you wish. I'll happily answer!)
I think the adventurers guild will be located in the arena because it’s where all the tribes can go…
citlali shares a voice actor with march 7th from hsr and several design aspects as well, it's possible she's an expy. in that case, cryo bow 100%
Xilonen is actually a jaguar iirc, not a cheetah. Loved the vid though
In terms of playability, all archons are supports (even Raiden, since she speeds up Burst rotations and dmg) and all Harbingers are DPS (and again Childe is a dps even if it is as an enabler), so if Columbina became playable, she would too be a dps
Time to set aside an hour and 10 minutes for PEAK
What if Capitano is the very first hydro claymor
Natlan the training arc
Kachina seems to be a Pika, not a rabbit
I want more African lore based characters in the game
Lol hearing your takes on the new characters is funny since ive seen the leaked kits already
Thank you for giving me something to listen too while I fail at school 😊
This was such a great video!! Great job! You thoughts and speculations are so interesting that it makes reconsider some of my own theories.
Great video! Just a note, I think Yae Miko is a higher ranking electro member than sara, simply because shes raiden's companion
I found my sleeping video that im too interested to fall asleep to
we have been blessed with 1 hour of PEAK content
time to grab my snacks for this
LEAK WARNING
I read somewhere that we won't be getting the Pyro traveler in 5.0 for lore reasons, and it immediately sent me into a fit. Then I remembered one of Venti's pre release voice lines about the Pyro Archon that went something like "Wow, you actually got her power" (Not word for word, it was roughly like that). With Mavuika looking suspiciously like Himeko, I am afraid that we are going to be getting Pyro powers Kiana style (trauma ---> more trauma ----> even more trauma ------> power up)
If they're putting this much care into it I hope it isn't some after thought gameplay wise like we usually get 😭
Omg, have been waiting for that video, so excited, i cant imagine how much time and effort youve put into this video and we all apprecciate it so much!! ❤❤
This is getting me really excited for Natlan!
I saw the 'mega title' in the thumbnail and i was like what so mega about this and I saw it was 1hours long ..damn
There are some interesting points here but I feel like there is way too much speculation given the amount of information we have. For starters, there is no indication a sovereign will play a part in the storyline. You'd think Neuvillette would mention that there is another sovereign in Natlan, instead he specifically said the dragons that do reside there are of a different kind.
STORY AND CHARACTER LEAKS:
It's been leaked that the Traveler will be the one to obtain the Pyro Gnosis in Natlan. And the Pyro MC kit isn't going to be released in 5.0 but instead after the Archon Quest comes to an end when we obtain the Gnosis. (Similar to the MC kits in Star Rail) This is also very likely the case given that it'd be weird that the Fatui have all 7 Gnosis' and still decide to wait a year for us to show up in Snezhnaya for them to actually start their grand plan. The Traveler being the owner of the Pyro Gnosis also opens up the possible story arc of the Tsaritsa actually trying to befriend us to help the Fatui with whatever their grand plan actually is, so that she is also playable. (It'd be weird having one of our 2 biggest enemies be on the team.)
Heeeello everyone!!!
either the pyro archon is dead or the gnosis isn't in Natlan. What we know for a fact is that we won't be able to resonate with the statue of the seven. As we are aware, the traveler can resonate with the elements through the statue and does not need the archons' permission, as if we did, the Raiden shogun would have denied us access when we first came to Inazuma. either the gnosis is missing or the archon/dragon is dead. Plus, we would have seen Pyro Traveler leaks by now if we are able to unlock it.
Citlali is a fortune reader or fortune teller according to Mualani's drip marketing
I like how the harbingers were presented as scary and mean but maybe 2 out of 11 have so far been a threat to the traveler (I’m thinking scara in inazuma and dotore in sumeru. Signora was never that scary or a threat) which is about the same ratio as the archons we’ve met so far haha
Petition to call Capitano: Captain Russia
Amazing video! So happy I came across your channel
Iansan will probably have the same curse that bennett has, as we know that Bennett was found in the Mare javari when he was just a baby
My kids playing palworld and with the natlan skin color drama I had the intrusive thought "there is only one race in tehyvat, xinyan is just a rare shiney"
Love ur vids !! Getting more hyped for Natlan by the day !!
Xilonen to me she is part jaguar no cheetah mainly due that her spots are brown with a black outline
Here to be THAT guy!!
It's pronounced SHHH-BALANQUE, not Shaba Lanque!
Great video! I usually never sit through hour long vids (much less genshin ones) BUT THIS WAS SO DOPE IM SO EXCITED
Wait, do we think Blackcliff Forge will be added at the next Lantern Rite celebrations?? That would be so cool actually
Now I know what to watch ✨
maybe not a phoenix, but a pyro manifestation.
I feel like the whole AQ will be based around resurrection of Xbalanque..
Mualani being a healer is definitely a guess 😅
"Babe wake up Silicone posted peak again"
So excited for Natlan!! ❤
comment for algorithm, nice vid.
LETS GOOOOOO
Brb chat 29:29
I’m back chat
Wait brb again 30:11
Back
I love the idea of 5 harbingers in natlan
I think Mavuika would definitely be Claymore if she is supposed to be Himeko. If she's not a resurrected form of Himeko, then probably another weapon.
I think it makes more sense fan-service wise for her to be Himeko/Murata because of what happened in HI3 lol.
I really like the idea that Mavuika is trying to revive the previous pyro archon, only to accidentally revive the pyro sovereign. It would explain why they weren't in any of the trailers, despite dragon sovereigns taking a large role in the plot so far. I would be very surprised to not see the sovereign/not see the sovereign regain their abilities. I also like to think Capitano IS the pyro sovereign, but I know there's like no evidence for it so it's just a fun thought I'm considering while we wait for the actual story.
Also with the events of the 4.8 story, I'm very curious to see the parallels. Already, the quest with the queen of the flying squirrels and the frog is standing out to me a LOT. That's also not to say all of the stuff about fate/prophecy and convincing the different clans within the simulanka to accept that their story was neither incorrect nor correct, and the whole dvalin story, etc etc etc. Lots to consider going into Natlan, and I'm excited to see it all play out.
Also I wish so desperately that the Natlan characters weren't paper white :((
by common tropes of shounen manga, that Ajaw is probably a real deal.
20:13 he is more of a protagonist than traveler
Leak spoilers
Xbalanque was apparently either the original Pyro archon or the pyro dragon sovereign. Even the people of Natlan apparently don't know.
Update: xbalanque was the first pyro archon, and the pyro sovereign is called Xolotl
Bro is a better tevat guide than Paimon
Maybe the loom of fate is somewhat included in the AQ since Mauvika said something about fate
Man I always thought Capitano wore some sort of bootleg Daft Punk mask 😅
Capitano is definitely a geo character
Hiii!! I'm really excited for natlan and can't wait !!!
I believe Columbina will appear as an NPC that we need to help for a Quest, then there will be a reveal at the end. as we never saw her in teasers and trailers they are hiding her. lols..
Here a leak for Mualani and Kachina
Mualani - Hydro DPS with catalyst
Kachina - Geo support with polearm
LEAK WARNING !!!!
Mavuika is actually expected to be a claymore user. She is also expected to be an off field sub dps who can become an on field character by unlocking her constellations. Kachina is a polearm user. And Mualani is a hydro catalyst main dps. Kinich is a dendro claymore main dps as well
Will we get a city on mountaintop like machu pichu?
What do you think about the rumor that's been going around that Mavuika is going to help the Traveler by giving over an unknown power?
Well it's based on Venti's voiceline from the beta, so while things obviously have changed since then, it could still hold some truth to the story!
It would be cool if we got different abilities based on different tribes
IM SO READY
Finally, some positivity
Shout it louder friend. 👏 🎉
I wonder if the pyro archon is like a phoenix and if you beat them in the ball game they burn up and are born again? Like whoever wins the ballgame becomes the new physical vessel for the pyro archon. If the ball game in the trailer is like mesoamerican ball games it might be what they do now instead of war and if you want to fight the pyro archon you go against them in a ball game
leaks!!
iansan nation we lost shes electro 💀💀
