Regarding Ei's "Death" [Genshin Impact Lore, Theory, and Speculation]

just a heads up this is a follow-up video to the one that i made yesterday about can gods die so for full context feel free to watch that one first and then come back to this and to address the title of the video i won't even be saying that statement is necessarily a theory because it isn't a during the arkhan war sacrificed herself for makoto to be seated as the electro archon this is just part of genshin's lore and isn't a speculation according to the treasure tales of the toranshin kaguchi though the shadow shogun was divinely skilled in martial arts and unsurpassed with the blade she believed herself little more than a warrior with little understanding of mortal hearts thus she chose to give up her bodily form helping her sister to ascend to the heavenly citadel and obtain dominion over nizuma shortly after the true shogun makoto set up her shogunate and began to rule over the land remembering their bond she recalled ae's divine will and reforged her body thus returning her sister to her side once more as her kagemusha now the validity of this book is unknown but given that gentian lord doesn't usually disprove itself we can say that at the very least this is the case after all the process of the kagemusha is still unknown to us so this part of the lore suggests that the a we currently know at the moment is the resurrected form of the original biasable which only opens a lot of questions i didn't know where to put this in the original video because a's keys was such a strange outlier that it was almost impossible to really rationalize or theorize without going into speculation territory so let's do just that first is that a sacrifice to her bodily form we need to understand the wording of this for the sake of the rest of the theory is she or is she not dead well i would say that a is said for the purpose of genji's context ghosts and even lingering presences exist in the world of genshin but are still considered as dead creatures as far as we can tell anything that lost its corporeal form is considered diseased and regardless of how intact their soul is gentian's world defines creatures that still have lingering souls but no true vessel as diseased such as andreas andreas's situation is very similar to aids in which they sacrifice their mortal bodies for the sake of declaring someone else a worthier archon for their respective nation andreas for barbados and a for machoto if andreas is considered as said quote from the tale of boreas even without its physical body and beyond death a's situation should also fall into the same line so yes in all technicality a did die but then we go on to her resurrection machota recalled her divine will and forged her body thus returning her sister to her side once more this would explain why in a's memory we were able to see both of them side by side there was a common misconception that a was just a consciousness that existed within maratha's body much like how the shogun and a operate but this doesn't seem to be the case makato created a vessel for her but the question is how did she recall a's divine will to recall something can mean retrieve it which means that a's define will was still lingering in tivat and that celestia or whatever veil that separates the dead from the living never took it away much like andreas it's even possible that ae herself willed her soul to remain in tavat to stay with her sister perhaps because of this bond that they share as makato used that to retrieve ae's divine will but that only begs a bigger question why can a not do the same when makoto died well i believe that it's because nagato moved on it's possible that a held onto this realm for her own unknown reasons but marathon never stayed after her death we seen allegory for her essence whisked away during aids story quest part 2 effectively sharing her final goodbye with her sister this is why a couldn't let go of her sister because at some point a died and was the one that was supposed to leave but a stood eternally by magrudo however makato on the other hand believed in the transience of existence and decided to move on which paints an even sadder story because i can only imagine the pain that a went through after mahoto died consider this makato had to watch her own sister die but she was able to retrieve her sister back with artha kagemusha so don't you think a would have tried to do the same thing and when she failed because she couldn't recall makoto's defined will because there's nothing there a would only grow more desperate because perhaps this is why she decided to slowly lock herself in the plane of euthymia and why she wanted to forge a vessel that could house stenosis something that was mahados this guilt of being unable to not only move on from the loss of her sister but also being able to bring her back the way machado did for her could be what piled onto this paranoia that time leaves behind nothing this adds another layer of guilt to a's story that she is not supposed to be here she is not even supposed to exist anymore and neither is she supposed to be the ruler of inazuma had it not been for maratha's intervention but hey that's just a happy speculation and just a simple follow-up to the whole situation anyway my name is aston thank you for chilling with me according to the treasured tales of the choka and shinkage how
