I think she pursues « eternal euthymia » which is what 2.0 version was called which is basically living without mood disturbances. Maybe she sees emotions as a weakness and maybe blames herself for everyone dying around her? Idk
@@furyflaritus6614 so like, think you could spoil me or drop some hints? i don't think i'm even close to inazuma yet- since i just started the floating palace arc of the story. so it'd be helpful
I like how different the archons react to immortality and losing a friend: Venti used escapism (aka running away and going after pleasures such as drinking), Zhong li buried himself in his work (though he could be considered luckier since he had other immortal companions?), while Baal is in denial of what happened, well not really in denial but she’s trying to make sure that her pains would never happen again.
I feel like it's more of Isolation with her she tries to Isolate herself from anything she may love again because the pain is too overbearing so for her I think she feels like it's just better to have no one then to hurt..she shut off her emotions,even the good ones,she turned her heart off so pain can never enter again
@@cocbackup8608 zhongli also kinda did that to azhdaha due to him being corroded bcs of humans. I think its thanks to his time with guizhong that he didn't really blame it on humans bcs humans are weak.
A quick note on translation here: what was translated as “stillness” in English is actually written as 無念 (munen) in Japanese, which also means “regret.” So her regret and grief is also for eternity.
Ummmm am i really the only one who actually realized bits of baal background by watching this infact i watch this from a RUclips ad for only about 20 seconds and i already guessed 25% of baal's background, well 75% of my guess was wrong but still Though even if i did get spoiled the ad i watch is mainly the reason why i played genshin(btw im really obsessed with it infact i was just playing genshin 2 weeks ago ang now im already at ar40)
Yoooo This one is soo good, ruclips.net/video/EOZZg6nvUBs/видео.html Mihoyo never disappoint us when it comes to character trailer.Archon has a sad backstory indeed
@@prittvyy2659 Honestly, I think that Barbatos is just a genuinely happy person who appreciates the good things as they are, regardless of the tragedies that he may have previously faced, and just enjoys wine and art on their own merits. Heck, he had a story arc all about helping one of his worshippers let go of the pain of the death of his friend so that he could be happy in the now, which is especially paralleled since they were both disguised as friends who died because of them, only "Stanley" was doing it out of guilt and despair while "Venti" was doing it out of love and respect.
After finishing the Act 2 of Ei's Story Quest, watching this video again amplified how emotional this is, people who loves Ei and were invested in the recent quest can relate.
Tbh this trailer made me love Ei even before I arrived at Inazuma. Now with her story quests, I just love her character so much. It pains me to skip her banner bc of Ayaka.
all Archons lost someone important, Rex Lapis lost his loved one Guizhong and Barbatos lost the person that he impersonates now. Tsaritsa, known as the archon of love, lost love to their own people.

Is there any confirmed interaction between these three? :'> This teaser made me sad I wanna know if Raiden Shogun somehow interacted with these two huhu
@@YoshiLupus It is said in the spoiler trailer that the Dendro archon's Enemy is his wisdom itself... Assuming the Dendro Archon knows too much that he goes cray cray after gettting the gift of wisdom-
What’s interesting about Shogun’s design is that she has a morning glory pinned to her hair. Morning glories only bloom in the early mornings, and they represent brief moments or fleeting love. Which is… the total opposite of eternity that Baal yearns so dearly. Hmmm
@@kevvillanueva2660 Yea, morning glories are most beautiful for such fleeting moments. And to Raiden, that’s how her relationships must feel in a world of eternity.
It seems Baal's ideal of Eternity is not related to things that naturally last forever but to make transient things Eternal which can be seen throughout the motifs of Inazuma i.e lightning, sakura trees blossoming, fireworks, the flowers on her hair, the Butterfly pins she wears, etc.
One thing I love that mihoyo did, unintentionally or intentionally, was basically reincarnate Raiden’s old friends. Sara is the new tengu general, Itto is the new Oni, and Yae is the new fox. Specifically Sara and Itto are the direct descendants of the originals. It seems they are all friends as well; itto and Sara are frenemies/rivals, itto and Sara are also friends with Yae. Ei finally has her friends again!
You can't replace your friends even if they are reincarnations also Ei doesn't know Itto as we can see on her voiceline about him so i guess that place have it the Traveller even if he isn't an oni
"For those that live too long, the friends of days gone by and scenes from their adventures live on in their memories. As such I have no regrets in meeting you, friend. Should the day ever come that we are not together, you will continue to shine like gold in my memories"
Baal's friends: (Left to right as seen in the photo) Sasayuri "tengu", Chiyo "oni", and the Kitsune Saiguu "kitsune". 1. Sasayuri was a tengu general who died during the battle between Baal and Orobashi. We can see Baal on top of Orobashi before Sasayuri was lost in the picture. Source: Sangonomiya Chronicles 2. Chiyo was an oni who fought alongside Baal and the Kitsune Saiguu 500 years ago during the cataclysm. She was swallowed by a beast of sin. She managed to escape, but she was already corrupted. Chiyo then fought Baal as we can see in another scene, to which she lost, and she disappeared after that. Source: Mask of the Kijin's description 3. The Kitsune Saiguu died right during the battle from 500 years ago. As the dark forces ravaged Teyvat during the cataclysm, Baal rallied along with Chiyo, the Kitsune Saiguu, and the spirits of Inazuma. Unfortunately, the Kitsune Saiguu was defeated by the dark forces in the war. She pleaded the enemies to spare her memory, and they granted her dying wish. Her memory went back to Inazuma, and it materialized into Kazari the masked shrine maiden.
For those who are still confused *Raiden Shogun* - The vessel of Raiden Ei who is meditating inside of Plane of Euthymia, a puppet that was programmed to pursue eternity. *Raiden Ei (Beelzebul)* - The current electro archon, twin sister of Makoto, meditating inside of Plane of Euthymia. *Raiden Makoto (Baal)* - The previous electro archon, twin sister of Ei, died in great cataclysm. *Scaramouche* - also known as Kunikuzushi, No. 6 of the Fatui Harbingers, The Balladeer, a test subject created by Ei. *Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto* - The same puppet created by Ei, The Raiden Shogun, weekly boss. Edit: Thanks for correcting.
@@lmiere2275 Raiden Ei made 2 puppets:- (i) Scaramouche (Who was a Prototype.). (ii) The Shogun. Magatsu Mitake Narukami No Mikoto is just a title. It means 'The Almighty Warlord Thunder God, Calamity Bringer'. The weekly boss is the Shogun only. The Raiden Shogun is also a title used by Raiden Makoto, Raiden Ei and the Shogun in their capacity as the ruler of Inazuma.
Test Subject is a lil bit weird hahaha tho it's true. Yeah he's like Raiden Shogun a puppet created by Ei programmed to pursue eternity but since he cried after being created. Ei sees him too gentle for the task since she doesn't want to kill him she sealed his power and allowed him to take control of his own life.

@@premiumheadpats4150 well....to summarizes HEAVY SPOILER the one she was chasing isn't a metaphor like people said that "she was chasing her past self" It's actually her twin sister. Yes there are twin goddess Baal (mortal name Makoto) and Beelzebul (mortal name Ei) they both won the archon war. But Makoto took the gnosis and everyone thought there's just one God there's never been twin Gods. Ei works as her sister body double because they are identical. Both of them agree to never let anyone know that there's two Gods ruling Inazuma. But Makoto died in cataclysm (just in case it's when kharien'ah disaster started) so Ei took her place as the new "Baal" Well no ones know that they changed the archon because again they are identical.
What did you expected from a character based on Raiden Mei. It's a miracle she didn't had to fight her lover to save her only for her to going way deeper into hell.
Okay, first- WHAT A TEASER. Just Beautiful, and Brilliant! This was the best character teaser I've seen on this channel so far, bravo! Some lore if anyone's interested: If you want to know who the shown characters are at 0:05 from Left to Right- Sasayuri - Raiden's general - killed in battle against Orobashi. Chiyo - Oni maiden - Raiden defeated her abyssal corrupted state, she fled. Kitsune Saiguu - Kitsune Goddess - Consumed by the Abyss.
Well at least this explains why Zhongli thought that she would react harshly to the news of his 'passing". If Rex Lapis, the oldest god and Archon, can die...then eternity is needed now more than ever.
The horned one must be Chiyo...? She allegedly looked "as lovely as the moon," Chiyo was a close ally of Baal's and fought against the dark forces of the cataclysm. During one particular battle, she was swallowed whole by a beast. While within this "beast of sin," she was "stained by a deep sin" and witnessed her comrades being torn apart by the beast's jaws. She drew her sword against the Shogun, but her sword-arm and horn were severed. She then fled and disappeared into the forest, with her ultimate fate left unknown: people believe she was slain by either the tengu, the Shuumatsuban, or even the Iwakura Clan.
EDIT : nvm, i just read the other comments. hold onnnn... where did you get this information ? i don't remember running into this information in the quests. Well, i do know about the Fox girl's story to some extent. and i do believe i remember somewhat about someone named Chiyo and the moon. but not very much. i don't remember there being something about them being killed by the tengu, shuumatsuban, or the iwakura clan though. The Snake god guy.... i don't remember very well, but he feels familiar. is he the dead bones monster ?
Here after the full release of Inazuma, We can Finally piece together what happened to Ei and what led to her being Averse to Progress. She lost Sasayuri, The Tengu, in the first civil war between Sangonomiya and Narukami. In return She slayed Orobashi She Lost Chiyo to the Corruption of the Abyss, That led to the Yokai of Narukami going insane, And had to slay her by her own hands She lost Kitsune Saiguu, Because Saiguu wanted to Protect Makoto against the Cataclysm, But she ended up perishing herself She lost Makoto in the Midst of the Khaenriah War, Something she was forced to take part in It's no wonder, that after all that she would've been scared of moving forward, as the path was riddled with Obstacles, One more difficult than the other. It would've been far easier and less painful to just stay where you were
@@uldeanse Chiyo’s story is learnt through by the description one of the weapon material in Inazuma (forgot which one) and Sasayuri’s story is told in a book from Yae Publishing, I think it’s Sangonomiya Chronicles?
Kitsune Saiguu tried to defend Inazuma from monsters while Ei was going to Khaenriah to protect Makoto. In the end, she lost both the kitsune and her sister
At first I wanted to beat the living out of her do to her high and mighty vibe and down right arrogant but after seeing this I want to hug the living out of her do to her years of suffering. P.s. At least I have la singora to beat the living out. Consolation prize dare I say.
Glad to know Baal is keeping up the tradition of all the archons being depressed because they lost someone (or in Baal’s case some people) close to them
@@STRIKEFORCE225 he is depressed? He's in the body of his dead friend and is a drunkard, also the guilt of genociding a whole country just because of orders
“Do not be blinded. Do not waver. Keep walking the path that you believe in.” Kitsune Saiguu to the Raiden Shogun, before their final parting. This hits a whole lot deeper now…
How archons cope with their depression: Venti: becomes alcoholic Zhongli: fake his death to escape responsibility Baal: turns goth bullies the whole country
@@venooby585 You should be Adventure Rank 30 and have unlocked Inazuma and the rest of Archon Quest Chapter II. At your Adventure Rank you cannot even begin Liyue's
yeaahh friends have a big impact on them and i wrote a whole comment explaining why if ur interested- not looking for likes i just worked hard on it lol but yea
Venti's friend died, Zhongli...uh...something happened to him that I can't remember, and Baal lost all of her friends because they either grew old and perished or they turned on her because they were corrupted by something or someone. Wait...if they all had visions (which is unclear) and they were all corrupted, maybe Baal believes the visions corrupted them?
@@marzipan24 I'm beginning to notice a trend here. Top tip: If you ever encounter an archon DO NOT become friends with them. You will die, get corrupted or go missing for unknown reasons!!
It is. She lost the Tengu Sasayuri in the battle against Orobashi. Chiyo was corrupted and turned against her. Kitsune Saiguu was consumed by the darkness.
The Shogun's eternity is so much more complex than we think. while we all thought that Ei wanted to preserve the past and keep things be exactly how the past was through eternity, she actually always wanted to stop the future and preserve the present moment. eternity does not affect the past, but the present. She basically wants to eliminate the past and the future and keep the present moment preserved, in an unchanging motion. the reason im saying this is because i've seen people say that she is blind because she's stuck in the past but actually she has a much better understanding of eternity Ei is actually a genius.
@@ratinyourspaghetti8499 Ei no quiere que Inazuma siga avanzando por que eso implicaria que sean la proxima Khaenriah. Es una clara referencia a la era meiji del Japón pre-moderno, donde se debatia en quedarse puertas adentro o abrirse al mundo para modernizarse y evitar ser conquistada.
This kinda reminds me of the description of the Musou Isshin which says: "The aesthetic of lightning is precisely to capture that which is precious amidst fleeting transcience."
I think she still was stuck in the past, as one of the reasons she wanted to preserve the present was because of her past with the death of her loved ones.
This is the power of "Show, don't tell". No one speaks here, yet we get a very clear image of who Raiden Shogun really is with both the visuals and the music. Best character teaser as of now hands down.
I'm so disappointed that they chose to keep him permanently silent, except for a few occasions. His voice actor is so enjoyable to hear, that I don't actually understand why he's always "......"
This is probably the most meaningful trailer we've seen from Mihoyo(imo), nothing was said by the shogun, but the video, it was more then a thousand words
This is actually a really good backstory for her, she slowly lost the people around her one by one and she realised while being a god had it’s pros, she also had to a endure the curse of immortality. Because of this she didn’t want her people (aka the last thing she had left) to be lost as well. So she implemented the vision hunt decree as well as the ideals of ‘eternity’ so it would always be with her
Majority of the genshin community really is incapable of understanding complex characters. Raiden didn't do all this because she was depressed or salty but because she didn't want the history repeating itself. She just chose the wrong methods to execute it.
exactly! visions represent ambition (or greed to achieve great things) and with greed people tend to lose more. It doesn't mean people should not have ambition in life but it's hard to keep your ambition from turning to greed.
If you don’t have ambition you’ll never have something to lose. But that can be a very stale and rigid state of existence. Especially to those that fear loss, they won’t be able to move forward. Stuck in their fears and stirring in regret it can be all too suffocating, a slow torture.
what's most beautiful about this teaser, is that there are no words. just feelings and music, which is amazing. we get to feel the emotions of the raiden without words.
I think this dialogue should've been in the part where MC was brought to Baal's domain expansion. Since before the last dialogue they are showing us the scene at the 100th vision celebration.
I could just imagine these three (right after the whole inazuma fiasco) having tea together under the skies of liyue, calm silence engulfing them. All of them lost someone important to them, and as gods who lives longer than regular mortals, theyll continue to lose more. I hope that they can-together- share the memories of those who pass
It hurts after the archon quest you realize that the person we’re looking at at the beginning is actually Ei and the person we all thought was her past self is her sister and then to top it all off we see the shogun and then go back to Ei this is perfect wow
@@carrotsmokingapipe9415 Well, not to support dictatorship... Seriously! NOT SUPPORTING! She didn't want what happened to her to happen to everyone in Inazuma.
Because in the Archon Quest (act 1-2), it emphasizes on the Vision Hunt Decree. The world quests are where the pieces of information about Raiden Shogun are scattered around.
Baal: I cut off my emotions, to ease the pain, but I lost part of myself because of that. Xiao: I see you are a being of eternal suffering as well. One thing: everyone deals with their pain (physical and emotional) in a different way, and of course there are actions that can't be excused by one's grief. I'm also not comparing Xiao's and Baal's morals or who had it worse, because it's hard to measure someone's suffering.
@@viktorasgrviktoras4437 they are more or less the same,also keep in mind Baal was close with the people she lost,we are not sure how close Xiao was with the rest of the demon hunters. Xiao distanced himself from the world and Baal is imposing eternal reign over Inazuma without question,so she can just rest alone in her nightmare plane. P.S im not the OP we just happen to have the same avatar LOL
@@takii3453 still can't understand archons. If she has a sister so should other archons have families too? Venty was just a wind blow at the start. I'm confused
@@eg-draw Archons are, in the end, just powerful entities that have defeated other powerful god like entities and become the 7 true gods of teyvat. It's important to understand that they are all called archons, yet they are individually different. There's no reason to assume that other archons have families just because ei have a sister. What ei and makoto originally was before becoming an archon is unknown, but venti is a random wind spirit while zhongli is a really powerful adeptus
@@eg-draw I think venti is some kind of familiar of the thousand wind aka istaroth. istaroth is the god of time and wind the original god of monstadt. so maybe venti is one of her familiar.

What’s interesting about Shogun’s design is that she has a morning glory pinned to her hair. Morning glories only bloom in the early mornings, and they represent brief moments or fleeting love. Which is… the total opposite of eternity that Baal yearns so dearly. Hmmm
Fleeting love, huh...? That's actually a very interesting symbolism on that character
Baal added to Aether’s harem confirmed?
@I care you really need a life i promise you. where are your parents?
@@kevvillanueva2660 Yea, morning glories are most beautiful for such fleeting moments. And to Raiden, that’s how her relationships must feel in a world of eternity.
It seems Baal's ideal of Eternity is not related to things that naturally last forever but to make transient things Eternal which can be seen throughout the motifs of Inazuma i.e lightning, sakura trees blossoming, fireworks, the flowers on her hair, the Butterfly pins she wears, etc.
One thing I love that mihoyo did, unintentionally or intentionally, was basically reincarnate Raiden’s old friends. Sara is the new tengu general, Itto is the new Oni, and Yae is the new fox. Specifically Sara and Itto are the direct descendants of the originals. It seems they are all friends as well; itto and Sara are frenemies/rivals, itto and Sara are also friends with Yae. Ei finally has her friends again!
That *hits* 🥲
You can't replace your friends even if they are reincarnations also Ei doesn't know Itto as we can see on her voiceline about him so i guess that place have it the Traveller even if he isn't an oni

Baal's friends:
(Left to right as seen in the photo) Sasayuri "tengu", Chiyo "oni", and the Kitsune Saiguu "kitsune".
1. Sasayuri was a tengu general who died during the battle between Baal and Orobashi. We can see Baal on top of Orobashi before Sasayuri was lost in the picture.
Source: Sangonomiya Chronicles
2. Chiyo was an oni who fought alongside Baal and the Kitsune Saiguu 500 years ago during the cataclysm. She was swallowed by a beast of sin. She managed to escape, but she was already corrupted. Chiyo then fought Baal as we can see in another scene, to which she lost, and she disappeared after that.
Source: Mask of the Kijin's description
3. The Kitsune Saiguu died right during the battle from 500 years ago. As the dark forces ravaged Teyvat during the cataclysm, Baal rallied along with Chiyo, the Kitsune Saiguu, and the spirits of Inazuma.
Unfortunately, the Kitsune Saiguu was defeated by the dark forces in the war. She pleaded the enemies to spare her memory, and they granted her dying wish. Her memory went back to Inazuma, and it materialized into Kazari the masked shrine maiden.

@@lmiere2275 Raiden Ei made 2 puppets:-
(i) Scaramouche (Who was a Prototype.).

The last part is just the shogun
Test Subject is a lil bit weird hahaha tho it's true. Yeah he's like Raiden Shogun a puppet created by Ei programmed to pursue eternity but since he cried after being created.

HEAVY SPOILER
the one she was chasing isn't a metaphor like people said that "she was chasing her past self" It's actually her twin sister. Yes there are twin goddess Baal (mortal name Makoto) and Beelzebul (mortal name Ei) they both won the archon war. But Makoto took the gnosis and everyone thought there's just one God there's never been twin Gods. Ei works as her sister body double because they are identical. Both of them agree to never let anyone know that there's two Gods ruling Inazuma. But Makoto died in cataclysm (just in case it's when kharien'ah disaster started) so Ei took her place as the new "Baal" Well no ones know that they changed the archon because again they are identical.
THIS IS TOTALLY A "YOU EITHER DIE AS A HERO, OR YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE YOURSELF BECOME THE VILLAIN"

If you want to know who the shown characters are at 0:05 from Left to Right-
Sasayuri - Raiden's general - killed in battle against Orobashi.
Chiyo - Oni maiden - Raiden defeated her abyssal corrupted state, she fled.
Kitsune Saiguu - Kitsune Goddess - Consumed by the Abyss.

@@exentine7693 how
wowww, so accurate
The horned one must be Chiyo...?
She allegedly looked "as lovely as the moon,"
Chiyo was a close ally of Baal's and fought against the dark forces of the cataclysm. During one particular battle, she was swallowed whole by a beast. While within this "beast of sin," she was "stained by a deep sin" and witnessed her comrades being torn apart by the beast's jaws.
She drew her sword against the Shogun, but her sword-arm and horn were severed. She then fled and disappeared into the forest, with her ultimate fate left unknown: people believe she was slain by either the tengu, the Shuumatsuban, or even the Iwakura Clan.
Whoa where’d you get this? Was it in the books that we collected in Inazuma?

hold onnnn... where did you get this information ? i don't remember running into this information in the quests. Well, i do know about the Fox girl's story to some extent. and i do believe i remember somewhat about someone named Chiyo and the moon. but not very much. i don't remember there being something about them being killed by the tengu, shuumatsuban, or the iwakura clan though. The Snake god guy.... i don't remember very well, but he feels familiar. is he the dead bones monster ?
Here after the full release of Inazuma, We can Finally piece together what happened to Ei and what led to her being Averse to Progress.
She lost Sasayuri, The Tengu, in the first civil war between Sangonomiya and Narukami. In return She slayed Orobashi
She Lost Chiyo to the Corruption of the Abyss, That led to the Yokai of Narukami going insane, And had to slay her by her own hands
She lost Kitsune Saiguu, Because Saiguu wanted to Protect Makoto against the Cataclysm, But she ended up perishing herself
She lost Makoto in the Midst of the Khaenriah War, Something she was forced to take part in
It's no wonder, that after all that she would've been scared of moving forward, as the path was riddled with Obstacles, One more difficult than the other. It would've been far easier and less painful to just stay where you were
I know we learn about the Kitsune Saiguu and Makoto ones on her story quest, but where did you learn the rest? They're pretty interesting!
@@uldeanse Chiyo’s story is learnt through by the description one of the weapon material in Inazuma (forgot which one) and Sasayuri’s story is told in a book from Yae Publishing, I think it’s Sangonomiya Chronicles?
@@Solxtia Ei does not slay Chiyo. She severs her arm and horn , then Chiyo dies from something else.
Kitsune Saiguu tried to defend Inazuma from monsters while Ei was going to Khaenriah to protect Makoto. In the end, she lost both the kitsune and her sister

The Shogun's eternity is so much more complex than we think. while we all thought that Ei wanted to preserve the past and keep things be exactly how the past was through eternity, she actually always wanted to stop the future and preserve the present moment.
eternity does not affect the past, but the present. She basically wants to eliminate the past and the future and keep the present moment preserved, in an unchanging motion.
the reason im saying this is because i've seen people say that she is blind because she's stuck in the past but actually she has a much better understanding of eternity
Ei is actually a genius.

This kinda reminds me of the description of the Musou Isshin which says: "The aesthetic of lightning is precisely to capture that which is precious amidst fleeting transcience."
I think she still was stuck in the past, as one of the reasons she wanted to preserve the present was because of her past with the death of her loved ones.

No wonder she thrown a tantrum like a child, wanting to never lose anything again.
She really lost a lot huh

This is actually a really good backstory for her, she slowly lost the people around her one by one and she realised while being a god had it’s pros, she also had to a endure the curse of immortality. Because of this she didn’t want her people (aka the last thing she had left) to be lost as well. So she implemented the vision hunt decree as well as the ideals of ‘eternity’ so it would always be with her

Yes finally someone understands
exactly! visions represent ambition (or greed to achieve great things) and with greed people tend to lose more. It doesn't mean people should not have ambition in life but it's hard to keep your ambition from turning to greed.
Indeed.
@@lanng1628 I don’t think it’s even about becoming greedy with ambition. But simply, having ambition means you have something to lose
If you don’t have ambition you’ll never have something to lose. But that can be a very stale and rigid state of existence. Especially to those that fear loss, they won’t be able to move forward. Stuck in their fears and stirring in regret it can be all too suffocating, a slow torture.

I think this dialogue should've been in the part where MC was brought to Baal's domain expansion. Since before the last dialogue they are showing us the scene at the 100th vision celebration.
Venti: should we invite her to the party?
Zhongli: Yea. We should...

Yeah I'll be adding her at the depressed Archon table in my teapot
Edit: replaced broke

everyone, if anyone sees this comment I encourage you to report all spam links like the ones in this comment thread(and no I’m not an FBI Agent)
I could just imagine these three (right after the whole inazuma fiasco) having tea together under the skies of liyue, calm silence engulfing them. All of them lost someone important to them, and as gods who lives longer than regular mortals, theyll continue to lose more. I hope that they can-together- share the memories of those who pass
It hurts after the archon quest you realize that the person we’re looking at at the beginning is actually Ei and the person we all thought was her past self is her sister and then to top it all off we see the shogun and then go back to Ei this is perfect wow
Bro the spoilers
Raiden shogun before: "yeay picnic"
Raiden shogun after: "yeay vision"
yeay vision themed picnic
Yeay rain & thunder
Archons anti depression method:
Venti, lazing around
Zhongli, rest
Baal, self-isolation
yea self isolation and a little dictatorship here and there lmao

@@carrotsmokingapipe9415 Well, not to support dictatorship... Seriously! NOT SUPPORTING! She didn't want what happened to her to happen to everyone in Inazuma.
sounds like fear to face the reality
Wonder what Tsaritsa does with all those gnosis..
It is so to the point.
yes
Ikr? The music, the laughs, and the expressions speak for themselves
@soccer_short no

What is? Idiot.
it's amazing how no words were spoken yet so much was said...
I learned more about why Baal wants eternity in the first 30 seconds of this than in the entire archon quest so far
LoL: ruclips.net/video/XK85ynEObm0/видео.html
I learned it while reading the Inazuma lore books
@@PositiviteaTheFirst haha so basically baal is obito and want to create infinte tsukuyomi
Because in the Archon Quest (act 1-2), it emphasizes on the Vision Hunt Decree.
The world quests are where the pieces of information about Raiden Shogun are scattered around.
@@henri5695 ke kosa
Baal: I cut off my emotions, to ease the pain, but I lost part of myself because of that.
Xiao: I see you are a being of eternal suffering as well.
One thing: everyone deals with their pain (physical and emotional) in a different way, and of course there are actions that can't be excused by one's grief. I'm also not comparing Xiao's and Baal's morals or who had it worse, because it's hard to measure someone's suffering.
Xiao had far More sad story but he did not lost himself
@@viktorasgrviktoras4437 he's been using some kind of medicine from Zhongli to ease his pain
@@viktorasgrviktoras4437 they are more or less the same,also keep in mind Baal was close with the people she lost,we are not sure how close Xiao was with the rest of the demon hunters. Xiao distanced himself from the world and Baal is imposing eternal reign over Inazuma without question,so she can just rest alone in her nightmare plane.
P.S im not the OP we just happen to have the same avatar LOL
@@brattysubenthusiast how not to do u forget xiao life? Even before he lose his friend And after the All his life was torture
@@viktorasgrviktoras4437 so sorrow or sadness of people is measurable?
GOODLUCK TO EVERYONE PULLING ON BAAL’S BANNER MAY WE ALL BE BAAL HAVERS!!
Hell yeah Good luck everyone
Goodluck for you too~
Shogun wanters will get Her Majesty no matter what.
Hell ye
YESS
Genshin Impact is so overlooked This game has so much emotion.
Traveller: doesn't talk in normal cutscenes
Baal's character teaser: exists
Traveller: You don't need to talk... I'll talk for you
His simping finally got to him. 🤣
imagine if the game was the opposite, and only the MC talked while everyone else was silent or just grunted/laughed
@@투루-l3e yo is there a game like that
Zhongli: Purpose of life, DEPRESSED
Baal: Death of friends, DEPRESSED
Venti: I need wine to forget that im DEPRESSED
Being an Archon is suffering
Immortality is a curse
Venti: I drink to forget, but I always remember...
*Gulping on another dose of wine while sobbing*
@Shreyan Banerjee thats why hes drinking wine to forget it.
Seems like there's a running theme with Archons being depressed.
I think I already know what Tsaritsa's motives already...
baal: all my friends are dead
zhongli and venti: wanna join our emo archon band?
Omg ruclips.net/video/XK85ynEObm0/видео.html
LOL I WANT TO DRAW THIS NOW
*plays shamisen sadly*
@@Ozvkro DO IT
@@toaster2909 I'M DRAWING NINGGUANG NOW, I'LL DRAW IT LATER AND DROP THE LINK HERE
Remember when we thought that the figure that looks like Ei is just a representation of her happier self? Yeah... Now it turns out it's Ei's sister
or ppl thought it was her mother
@@takii3453 still can't understand archons. If she has a sister so should other archons have families too? Venty was just a wind blow at the start. I'm confused
@@eg-draw Archons are, in the end, just powerful entities that have defeated other powerful god like entities and become the 7 true gods of teyvat. It's important to understand that they are all called archons, yet they are individually different. There's no reason to assume that other archons have families just because ei have a sister. What ei and makoto originally was before becoming an archon is unknown, but venti is a random wind spirit while zhongli is a really powerful adeptus
@@eg-draw I think venti is some kind of familiar of the thousand wind aka istaroth. istaroth is the god of time and wind the original god of monstadt. so maybe venti is one of her familiar.
@@takii3453 I always thought it was her sister.
“Dont worry baal… Come home and you will never be alone …”
Me - probably
Goodluck mate
I have guaranteed Baal, i will do a tea for her in my teapot, so she can be more happy 😭
Idk what traveller is gonna do with Baal in teapot while we log out :))
@@hoaibaotruong2608 leave the teapot, duh. When you log out you don't stay in the teapot, you leave the teapot.
am not pulling 😐
"A villain is just a character whose story hasn't been told"
Even so, her own misery isn't an excuse to make others suffer.
@@zensputnik5815 anyways she's trying to help others not suffer it's pretty obvious she doesn't want what happened to her friends to happen to others.
@@zensputnik5815 right
@@Jojo2 and in the end she made others suffer still, so she is not excused
........no?
Telling a really deep story without voice lines is just on another level of creativity.
AWESOME!
Just Mihoyo things
If you have that good of animators you dont need voicelines tbh
Some emotions are only transmitted without words
expressions are enough to show someone's sorrow
Here after 2.5 update..Dude I just wanna cry right now
