The Fatui Harbingers: Ranks, Constellations & Stories | Genshin Impact Theory & Speculations

it's time to end tonight's foolish theatrics right now you have no captive audience let every worthy sacrifice be carved in ice [Music] with time you know that moment in Pokemon when you get asked to join Team Rocket and you desperately want to say yes because being evil is more fun that's how I feel right now I enjoyed this teaser a lot Not only was it gorgeous in terms of scenery and character design but it was just rich in things we need to dissect suffice to say there's a lot to talk about and it's time I give my list of Harbinger rankings and constellations and why don't we throw in some speculations about their roles in the story and also throw in some brain rot near the end of the video now I'm going to ignore Senora because girl rest in peace and I feel like most people know her story though I low-key think we'll hear more about her when we talk about how the cataclysm affected monster yeah I know we heard about davalin's story which is connected to the cataclysm but we haven't heard how the cataclysm specifically affected monstat and its people in the main story yet so I'm gonna put a rain check on talking about Senora we're also going to skip child because we pretty much know all we need to know about him for now but I will say the level of thirst that I have for this man in his winter coat bam anyways without further Ado let's head on over to clown University and start the show beginning with a quick little blurb about the cathedral this teaser is taking place in [Music] this place looks a lot like the Cathedral of Christ the savior in Moscow Russia I mean look at it the domes The Arches everything is crazy similar which makes sense sneshnaya is based on Russia after all but the interesting thing about this place is it's actually the second Church on these grounds the original one was built in the 1800s and took over 40 years to build becoming consecrated in 1883 however the 1917 Russian Revolution led to the officiation of State atheism for the USSR and that led to an anti-religion campaign that would persist through the 1920s religious monuments and institutions were ransacked and destroyed by the government for their gold and other relics of monetary value and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior was no different on the 5th of December 1931 48 years after its construction the church was blown to Smithereens and a grand building called the Palace of the Soviets would be built in its place this Palace was to be a testament to socialism and the legacy of Vladimir Lenin which is why a giant statue of him was supposed to be the building's main feature ultimately the palace wasn't built and the cathedral was rebuilt becoming consecrated on the 19th of August 2000. I couldn't help but notice the similarities in the history of this church antivat's origin story from before sun and moon you know like how the war against the seven sovereigns took 40 years and then it took 400 years to remake the world and this story is based on the biblical story of Noah's Ark in which God destroys the world and rebuilds it using the remaining life on the ark Noah's Ark is ultimately a story of creation uncreation and Recreation same thing with tabat's story and it's the same thing with the Cathedral of Christ the Savior which was built destroyed and then rebuilt this makes it the perfect place to use for this teaser because the history of this church parallels with the fatouis plans so well Piero talks about destroying the old world seizing it from the gods and rebuilding it into something new just like what the Soviet Union tried to do with the Cathedral of Christ the Savior maybe in the fatou's new world there will be a giant statue of the Teresa or if their plans follow the Cathedral of Christ the savior's history their plans will fail perhaps they already did or they'll just make a pool out of the world because that's apparently what the Russians did with their Church before they rebuilt it I don't know but as Piero says Checkmate isn't the end of the game there are probably more rounds to play with the gods as many as the fatoui need until Humanity triumphs anyway I wanted to mention this church because I thought it was a cool reference and it really shows you the whole universe team is super thoughtful when it comes to symbolism but anywho while we're on the subject of the fatouis plans why don't we talk about what they have in store for sumero by now we know Celestia is all about keeping secrets from Humanity right and the archons are just as tight lift the dendro archon kusanali should be no different wisdom is her enemy because knowledge in this world can be a very dangerous thing you could draw the ire of the wrong gods and get yourself demolished by the Heavenly principles but what if that's exactly what the fatoui want Lisa who was the most talented sorceress the Academia had ever seen in 200 years said she witnessed uninhibited erudition in Samira raving mad scholars in the forests and Powerful sages sitting underutilized on advisory councils this implies there may be a lot of Scholars who are experimenting with dangerous ideas in their Relentless Pursuit for knowledge and with an advisory Council that isn't really used or listened to though Scholars might be able to conduct experiments on whatever they want like for example human experimentation or experiments in blasphemy detore says one of his segments is conducting an experiment in blasphemy blasphemy is the act of contempt for sacred things or Gods so what if his plan is to push Sumer towards the precipice push the nation to a breaking point that will compromise its very existence and that is the true push for Folly instigated by the fatoui maybe the fatoui want another conria or at least the threat of sumero becoming another konria and that's also why Piero says at the beginning of the teaser the fatoui alone know the value and acts of folly because they know what will happen if you dig a little too deep into the world's secrets and discover the wrong kind of information since sumero is the nation of life and wisdom and conria was destroyed because of whatever knowledge they possessed and the Art of kemia a branch of alchemy that creates life then maybe sumero will truly follow in conria's footsteps and I think the fatoui might exploit the Akasha system to accomplish their goal you can watch this video for my take on the system itself but it's basically just one gigantic repository of knowledge that functions via the dendro R continosis and my assumption is that anyone with this little earpiece thing can access it since the knowledge it contains is managed as a resource then it's possible only certain members of society have access to certain kinds of knowledge if that's the case then I wonder what would happen if someone started leaking forbidden knowledge to people who never should have seen it what would happen if the wrong people discover the wrong kind of information and do something Blasphemous puppeteering the scholars of sumero the fatoui are going to orchestrate something so perverse that even kusanali won't be able to ignore causing her to reveal herself and that's when datori will have the chance to get the gnosis and if you know anything about datori whatever he's planning is going to be super [ __ ] up while we're still on the topic of no Seas why don't we talk about the balladeer scaramu I mean Scaramouche Scaramouche is M.I.A with a xenosis which by the way might be shaped like a knight's chest piece since on this chessboard the Fallen Pawn represents Senora because of the Crimson Lotus moth on it the White Knight that captures the Fallen Pawn must then represent the ride and Shogun because she's the one that terminated senora and since venti and Zhang Lee's no seas are being used as chess pieces on this board it's highly likely the White Knight is meant to represent a synosis but anyway child was sent to look for our little emo death puppet and he's been at it for a while ever since the Mystic onnio chamber event to be specific but it seems like child isn't the only one who's been on the hunt de Torre apparently is two and that's not really surprising to me because garamush was given some upgrades upon joining the fatoui and they also restored his original powers that were sealed Away by a when she decided to let him go after he cried like a little [ __ ] baby right after being born I mean who does thatore likely oversaw scaramu's upgrade grades since he's got a penchant for making things stronger and more perfect and I use that word Loosely I'm sure detores examined the noses the fatoui have acquired as well so this might be why he's involved too he's the expert here as for where scaramumu is and what he's doing I think dature gave us some Clues conventional wisdom holds that Divine knowledge cannot be rationally comprehended after Conquering the Divine gaze he will make his next move Divine knowledge likely refers to the gnosis anosis literally means knowledge or awareness in Greek and the no Seas of genshin belong to the Divine hence Divine knowledge if that's the case then the Divine gaze likely refers to Visions Visions are called The Eyes Of God in the Chinese version and the phrase the God's gaze has been used several times in the game in reference to Visions especially in this scene right here they want your attention Your Divine gaze hmm you mean Visions yeah so if Divine gaze refers to Visions then one possibility is Scaramouche has a vision and he's learning to master its Secrets but I think it's highly likely Scaramouche just discovered some sort of truth about the world via the gnosis and he's simply trying to understand it or maybe figure out what he's going to do with that information see Scaramouche was originally intended to be a vessel for a xenosis it's the heart he always wanted because although he probably won't admit it he longs to be human he's truly the Pinocchio of gentian impact a very moody homicidal one which is probably why the constellation of the doll holding a heart is his but when he finally got his hands on what was supposed to be his heart he discovered the gnosis was just like the Morpheus movie nothing anyone would expect or want an abject disappointment only worthy of being mean material as for why the gnosis isn't all it's cracked up to be well that's something we'll talk about in a future video all I'm going to say is this it's interesting the artifact from the husk of opulent dreams set that discusses scaramouche's impression of the gnosis is called the song of life and that the gnosis is specifically called a sacrifice thingies anyway I think we'll definitely get an update on his whereabouts in samaru maybe he'll be there to learn more about whatever truth he discovered but whatever his plan is though it can't be good there is no way Scaramouche is keeping a synosis the fatoui are gonna get it one way or another and I have a feeling thatore is gonna be involved in its retrieval honestly all I want to see is an epic showdown between Scaramouche The Traveler and kazuka and we need an interaction between a and Scaramouche mother and son must confront each other which is why I think the resolution of his story will happen in Inazuma oh and um I hope skaramush becomes playable okay now we're at the fun part of the video let's talk about the new harbingers sound good good I really like all all of their designs by the way I can't pick a favorite okay that's kind of a lie I'm really loving pantalone arloquino and Piero and I love the new mask for dature it's totally on point with the Comedia notorious mask but anyway why don't we go down the table starting with detore in the Comedia de larte dature is a wealthy intelligent man who is selfish greedy pompous and obsessed with himself depending on how he's portrayed he may bore others with his intelligence or make no sense at all Harbinger de Toray stays true to all of the above in several ways dature was once a student at the Academia who was shunned by his peers and teachers because of his unorthodox ideas he was chased out of his hometown for a similar reason he wanted to create enhanced humans that could surpass the gods which is a big No-No around the devoutly religious eventually he was approached by Piero who offered him the deal of a lifetime in exchange for his service to the fatoui detore was allowed to conduct his unorthodox experiments with all the fatoui's resources at his disposal and of course he accepted since the Academia wasn't letting him really do what he wanted ever since joining the fatoui his scientific accomplishments are but not limited to the following he created prostheses of himself at different stages of his life that he refers to as segments created machine human hybrids from corpses mass-produced ruin guards in this now abandoned Factory and he also weaponized archon residue by infusing it in people kalei was one of those test subjects archon residue isn't a phrase that's been used in the game yet but it's virtually the same thing as miasma and tatarigami it's the lingering power will and resentment of a dead God I imagine we'll hear the term archon residue or something equivalent to it in sumero since the term was introduced via Sino someone from sumero but anyway I want to talk a little bit more about totore's segments we may have seen multiple ones in the genshin comic as well as at least two in the gentian teaser the one that's in the prime of his life is the one we'll likely encounter in samaru I just keep image a scene where the main characters think they've beaten to Torre only for another version of him to show up and be like surprise [ __ ] bet you thought you'd see the last of me but him having segments of himself actually gives me hope for one of them becoming playable it seems like all the playable characters have to be friendly in some way with the traveler maybe they'll change this but if they don't datori is gonna be a very difficult character to redeem which is why I think it's completely plausible for one of his segments to possibly go Rogue have a change of heart or something to that effect then again if they can redeem the likes of a and her troubled son then I guess anything is possible he doesn't have to be a saint because that would be super weird but I think he will at least have to get along with the traveler and that might be possible for one of his segments there is one other notable thing I wanted to mention about to Tori that I will be very interested in hearing more about he slayed Ursa the Drake single-handedly this Dragon plagued monstat for centuries dating back to Vanessa time and he's also the one that murdered D Luke's father creepus so the fact that dature killed him is pretty impressive there are a lot of characters connected to datori now that I really think about it and it makes me excited for some of the plot lines we are gonna see I need a confrontation between him and D Luke it has to happen okay let's talk about notorious constellation it could be the plague Dr mask or this symbol here the plague doctor mask is rather on the nose for him plague doctors were public servants as they treated victims of bubonic plagues regardless of their financial status but while they were supposed to cure patients they rarely actually did so many weren't even experienced in medicine and some even charged for services that were completely ineffectual or made things worse some even tried to sell their patients fake cures that being said a lot of plague doctors were actually trying to help their patients while I wouldn't consider detore a public servant he and his subordinates were tricking people into giving away their children under the pretext of Q curing them of their afflictions committee auditori was also known to attempt to convince other characters in the play to take one of his cures for ailments characters didn't actually have that being said Harbinger tutorial isn't trying to help his test subjects yes I guess you could argue that trying to enhance humans is helping them in a sense making them more perfect in his eyes but tatore has a complete disregard for human life and plague doctors weren't exactly like this at least not all the time so this plague doctor constellation could be a wonderful fit for dature but there is another guy who it could belong to and we'll talk about him later for now I'm going to give to Tori this symbol here it's a symbol of heresy datori is called a heretic he even uses an arena called harrisis for testing out some of his experiments so it seems fitting now as far as detores rank in the fatoui is concerned the rankings seem to be based on power power could mean battle prowess but could also mean Prestige contributions to the fatoui and political influence dittore seems to have a pretty decent mixture of all these things remember that he slayed a dragon and dragons can possess powers that rival the gods while it's hard to gauge just how powerful Ursa was compared to davalan or Asia for example I don't want to ignore the fact that dragons are strong in general so considering his battle prowess political influence and scientific Feats I hereby Place him at either Rank 2 or 4 and I'm gonna settle on four because I actually think the next Harbinger we're gonna talk about is number two loafalta's sacrifice is a great pity her loss shall not hinder our progress but to Tori would of Scaramouche and the gnosis from Inazuma capitaro so far hasn't been mentioned much at all outside of a daily commission and child's voice lines child respects him greatly because of his battle prowess which is interesting because in the Comedia de larte IL Capitano is a braggart who uses bravado to imitate and present the illusion of power he's all smoke and no fire just a big talker who fabricates and exaggerates his own accomplishments and he's a little [ __ ] baby a coward the whole point of his character is to be exposed as a fraud now since child has seen Harbinger Capitano fight well Capitano might be strong and capable instead of weak and cowardly but I think there's more to this story capitano's face is the only one of all the harbingers that's fully concealed or he just doesn't have a face at all which is very Urban to think about and while that is cool it's really weird this could mean a couple of things one is that he has no mask to d-mask and therefore nothing to expose or he is hiding something shocking about himself that will eventually be exposed and I'm more inclined to believe that than the former which brings me to his constellation I'm thinking it's the hand of Glory hands of Glory are the severed and pickled hands of hanged men usually the left hand or if the person was hanged committed murder it was the hand that was used to commit said murder the candle the hand of Glory holds is made from the fat of the hanged man people used to believe these hands could open any door and also held medusa-like powers in that they rendered motionless anyone who was shown them Capitano might really be a fit for this hand of Glory for a few reasons one this could be a play on the word Glory since Comedia Capitano was based on Spanish called deals military area or political leaders specifically The cadillos Who boasted about their Glory Days also the phrase hand of Glory actually originates from the French expression mendigo which does translate to hand of Glory but is actually a Corruption of the French word which refers to mandrakes the association between hands of glory and mandrakes comes from an old belief of Alchemists That mandrakes Grew From the blood or um semen produced by hanged men under the Gallows didn't people believe the darndest things but the thing is people believed that Mandrake Roots which are shaped like the human form would scream and cry upon being exposed from the ground killing anyone who heard them this could fit well with Comedia capitano's plot function of being a character who is meant to be exposed maybe Harbinger Capitano will be like this he might be hiding something underneath all that armor that might paralyze everyone with shock and fear he might be a Walking Corpse for all we know and using someone else's body and talents for himself with the real Capitano somewhere inside that is actually weak and dependent upon the host body could even be just an empty suit of armor with a centralized power source again he might not have a face the corpse or empty armor could be likened to this clawed hand and the real Capitano somewhere inside the body is like the flame the clawed hand is holding a dead body clinging to a spark of life and you know what hoverse just showed us this theory is entirely possible with kazuha's story quest in which a sword with its own Consciousness was wearing people's bodies like suits of meat and controlling them but the actual sword itself was weak and derelict after years of use and a lack of Maintenance it was just making itself look badass wearing a glamor to hide its bedraggled form and clinging to a host body to survive the story of this sword mirrors Comedia Capitano so well that it's really hard to ignore both make themselves appear powerful but are at their cores frauds truly weak and utterly helpless I will not be surprised if Harbinger capitano's storyline follows a similar pattern as far as his rank is concerned from Child's perspective child isn't worthy of capitano's notice due to being ranked too low so this definitely rules out 10 and 7 is a little too close for me to child's rank so it's gotta be two or four I wouldn't be surprised if he does end up being ranked four since that's still a high rank but I'm more inclined to believe he's ranked too because if Capitano is going to be exposed as a fraud well the bigger you are the harder you fall I feel like positioning him in one of the highest spots possible will make this impact of being exposed a lot stronger so for now I give him Rank 2 with the hand of Glory constellation merely half a day people say the Northland bank's true currencies are Blood and Tears but mayor even speaking as a banker that sounds a little unconscionable okay now let's talk about the incredibly sexy pantalone pantalone has been confirmed as the ninth Harbinger and he's also the richest of them despite growing up poor his lust for money was born of his disdain from not being one of the Gods chosen which most of the theorist Community interprets as he doesn't have a vision couple that with being poor and you get a guy who pursues financial gain not just because it improves his station in life but also because money in most cases equals power and therefore he can feel powerful while he manages the fatou's financial affairs one of his main roles is to actually facilitate economic destabilization acrostavat since his goal is to make schnezhenaya the heart that pumps money around the world or in other words he wants to make all of tavat financially dependent on snajnaya at least that's my interpretation one of his his agents was sent to destroy monstat's wine industry and he was also involved with a plot to install a puppet tianshu in the Liu echising not to mention pantalone also runs the Northland Bank in leeway he's got quite the foothold in Leo he also rented out the entire Grand goth hotel in monstat for unknown reasons but from the sounds of it whatever the fatou are doing in there can't be good I hope we get to learn more about this little plot thread soon but Harbinger pantalore actually mirrors his Comedia de larte counterpart quite well committee apontalone represents the rich he is self-absorbed and loves his money and often treats his peers poorly and inhumanely much like Harbinger pantalone lusts for money and has no qualms about interfering with the economics of neighboring Nations for the sake of making sneshnaya the leader of the world economy he literally says he's willing to do anything now I actually don't think pantalone is much of a fighter if one at all arloquino accuses both him and Paulina of remaining hidden away in their homelands which suggests they might not see much field action especially on the battlefield like I said earlier pantalone doesn't have a vision and although he might have a delusion I want to remind you using delusions is extremely taxing on the user and potentially fatal especially for normal people so I seriously doubt he's the combative type that would make a lot of sense because Comedia pantalone also represents the elderly the character always walks with a hunched back and his movements are considerably restricted because of his old age Harbinger pontalone obviously isn't that old but he might be like an old person in that he doesn't take much physical action personally he's probably more of a behind the scenes type of guy and I don't know if he's going to be playable because of that that being said hoyoverse could always surprise us there is a likelihood he's connected to Toray you can see pantalone wearing a ring that looks suspiciously like this constellation which is the symbol for heresy but his constellation might be this one hands are symbols of power and protection section and also generosity hospitality and stability money can provide all of these things hands are also used for handling and exchanging money and I low-key believe we got a close-up of his hands solely as a hint for this constellation being his as for why he would have a ring that looks a lot like this symbol this ring reminds me of the kind you would get if you're a part of a secret society or Club remember Harris's the underground fatoui Arena de Tori uses notice all the spectators Krupp datori's underling alluded to the fact that at least some of the children abducted by the fatouli are being used here for the sick game rich people play perhaps the wealthy people from snesh Naya or elsewhere come to watch these children die maybe they even bet on these kids like race horses and maybe the members of this secret little Club get rings that look like this pantalone might be one one of Harris's patrons he is likely the wealthiest man in sneshnaya and he and dature are similar in some ways pantalone has an aversion to the gods and the control they exercise over most facets of life he has pursued worldly power because of that much like dature has often argued for the obsolescence of gods and pursued scientific power so I could see them easily being friends especially since their Comedia de larte counterparts are often friends mentors and foils of each other at the very least they might respect each other maybe pontalone runs and funds Harris and dature merely provides the entertainment who knows but behind this Serene smile May lie a cold and ruthless person moving on down the table we've got the gender bent sandrone and the first thing that immediately Drew my attention was the extremely Dapper and well-dressed Rune guard holding her sandronte regularly conducts research on automatons the majority of which are ruined machines which is why it looks like she repurposed one for herself in fact I would go as far as saying she's obsessed with them and also sympathetic towards them Comedia sandrone is seen as a spokesperson for the ill-treated exploited and misunderstood he represents the peasantry if you really think about it ruin guards fit this description because most people in tavat are afraid of them don't really understand them and they hail from conria which was unjustly destroyed at least from the perspective of conrance not to mention conrians have been likened to Farmers which are peasants at least historically through their use of field tillers otherwise known as ruin guards tillers are farm equipment conrians are like the peasants who were cruelly suppressed and ex lloyded by the upper class who in this case are the gods it's possible that at some point in sandrones past she grew fond of Ruin guards and empathized with their plight maybe it started as an intellectual curiosity that turned into pity I don't know but there's no denying she likes them especially since she detests child who coincidentally destroyed a bunch of Ruin guards and to Tori's abandoned Factory and probably suspects that's the reason she loads him sandrone might even go as far as treating ruin guards like her family and I'm thinking she's got a second ruin guard somewhere Camellia sandrone has a wife and son so it's possible Harbinger sandrone made a husband and child Rune guard but I actually think she might be the child our lakino says we don't want to make the Children Cry when getting Pulcinella and pantaloni to shut up implying there are children in the room and colombina and sandrone are the only ones who look like children or at least teenagers or young adults so maybe sandrone made a mother or father for herself I don't know she also might not be entirely human but who knows either way there's a third robot probably lurking somewhere and I think the style eyes triquetra present on sandrone and the ruin guard reinforces this idea normally I would be screaming about the moon at the side of this symbol but I'll actually be doing that later when we talk about a different Harbinger I actually think this symbol in this context merely represents a trinity between sandrone her Dapper bodyguard and the unknown third robot or person that she might have I don't know now as far as her constellation is concerned it's obviously the puppet on strings her code name is the marionette Comedia sandrone was originally represented as a puppet if I had to guess her rank is probably either 7 or 10 and honestly I'm leaning towards 10 because she looks the least threatening of the harbingers in my opinion but looks can be deceiving so we'll see but you heartless businessmen and dignitaries always with a convenient excuse to remain in the comfort of your Homeland you couldn't hope to understand so why don't you keep your mouth shut we don't want to make the Children Cry all right next up is our lakino she has to be one of my favorite new harbingers like look at our eyes they are insane her character design is just mwah and I can't wait to see what her normal outfit's gonna look like Anyway our lakino runs an orphanage and sneshnaya called The House of the Hearth now most of these orphans were made into orphans due to the direct actions of the fatoui so I don't know if our lakino genuinely wants to help these kids or if she's just making more future soldiers out of them since at least some of her underlings were raised in her orphanage on that note I think she's a lot older than she looks because the fatouli agents who were raised in the house of the Hearth are definitely adults she may have not always been the head of the orphanage but I just wanted to point that out child basically calls her insane but he might be biased against her because he's very loyal to the Teresa while it seems like she isn't she'd betray the fatoui if it benefited her which means there's a very good chance she's gonna betray the fatoui at some point and is actively plotting against them now and if she does leave she'll probably take her children with her maybe she wants to Stage a coup I don't know but I think she may try to drag columbina along for the ride too in the Comedia de latte our lakino competes with Piero For the Love of columbina which results in columbina Breaking Piero's heart so Harbinger arloquino could recruit colombina to her side if and when she makes her exit from the fatoui and maybe that's how they'll break Piero's heart it'll just be some good old Mutiny for our lakino's constellation my guess would be the nails in times of antiquity nails were actually considered symbols of protection that warded off evil which is one of the reasons why the Romans used them for crucifixions to atone for the bad Deeds of those crucified they are also symbols of unity as they join things together Nails used in the foundation of houses were also thought to be protective and it just so happens that our lakino runs a facility called The House of the Hearth in which she protects provides a home for and raises orphans uniting them as a family of sorts in this sense nails are a really good match for her I do have another reason why nails are perfect for her but that ties in with the brain rot I talked about at the beginning of the video so that explanation will have to wait for later as for her rank my guess is she's number seven I don't think she's more powerful than Capitano de Tori or Scaramouche and her political power probably isn't as extensive as pulginellas and I also think she's stronger than sandrone I don't know she just gives off that impression so I give her rank 7 and the nails constellation we are gathered here today to remember our dear comrade in honor of her sacrifice all work should hold for half a day as the nation Mourns her passing now we've arrived at the Monopoly man himself the fifth harbingerpolcinella he's the guy that represented snesh Naya in the travail trailer and that totally makes sense because he's the mayor of schneznaya and likely handles most of its domestic affairs and this also means it's highly unlikely he does any sort of field work much like pantalone he's probably almost always in snesh Naya pochinella is the one who conscripted child into the fatou and he also watches over child's family this might make him seem kind-hearted and in some ways he might be but he does have a cold side to him he will not hesitate to get rid of less valuable assets for the greater good and while he appeared to mourn Senora's death he only allotted half a day in her honor not even a full day which was immediately called out as unconscionable The Show Must Go On I guess but damn it's like he's on a fence teetering on the line in between being a decent person and being outright heartless or he just wants to try and please everyone whether that's because his job demands it or he has some other ulterior motive this Falls very much in line with Comedia Pulcinella in fact Harbinger potinella is likely going to be a perfect reflection of his committee a counterpart Comedia polchinella is a versatile character that can be a servant or Master he is a self-preservationist that tries to gain favor with those beneath him and those above him despite his self-interest he still manages to take care of the Affairs of everyone else he plays both sides to get what he wants and regardless of the result polcinella always emerges on the side of the winners we have already been shown a character who is exactly like this from yalon's story Quest he was a social climber who sought the respect of everyone around him and treated everyone with kindness despite the people of Liu initially treating him poorly when he was growing up destitute but at some point he grew bitter with how hard he had to work to achieve his goals and how long it was taking so he turned to the fatoui to assist him with reaching the position of tianshu he resorted to committing horrible acts just to rise to the position of tianshu like poisoning the current tianju Uncle Tien the man he saw as a father figure and also poisoning and double crossing yusupov to ensure yusupov would take the fall for the entire operation you could call this getting rid of less valuable assets for the greater good he played both sides like a fiddle and even though he was exposed in the end he was still rewarded in a way even though he went to prison yalon offered him a deal to protect him from the fatoui he betrayed while zhuyi would still be working as a mole for the Liu achie Singh y'all this man is literally the carbon copy of Comedia polcinella and I have a feeling Harbinger polcinella will be similar to zhuyi in a lot of ways which brings me to his constellation It's gotta be the plague doctor mask pulchinella looks like a plague doctor plague doctor masks are modeled after the beaks of birds pochinella's title is literally the rooster and as I said earlier plague doctors were public servants who treated anyone with the Bubonic plague regardless of status but oftentimes were ineffectual at treating their patients did more harm than good and sometimes even tried to charge fees for [ __ ] yours similarly polchinella is a public servant he's kind to child's family he may be trying to please everyone but he may be duplicitous in his reasons for being all of the above and have his own agenda especially if his storyline is going to be anything like your yees and speaking of Jerry this dude looks like a plague doctor too when this Quest came out I was like why the hell is he wearing this dumbass hat but now I get it he's supposed to look similar to Harbinger pochinella and a plague doctor the dude's main weapon of choice is poison too so yeah Harbinger pochinellas constant Nations gotta be this maybe pochinella truly cares about his job as a mayor and his people but has resorted to horrible means to keep his position maybe he wants sole control of sneshnaya and maybe he'll try to play us and his comrades in the same way zhuyi played everyone around him but as yelon said trying to have friends on both sides it has a way of turning everyone against you and then there were two I think it's about time we talk about the man of the hour the number one fatous the dilf of the group the jester Pierro there's a lot to say about him where to begin his Comedia dilarte counterpart is usually the butt of the joke in the play he is a sad clown who Pines after columbina but never ends up with her because she leaves him for arloquino but despite being constantly pranked and no one taking what he says seriously he is trusting of those around him he represents outcasts he's lonely an outsider looking in at a world that does not want him and one he can never be a part of which is why some regarded him as a representation of those struggling to make it in the world arbinder Piero is just like his committee a counterpart he was treated like a fool because his Superior thought he wasn't as smart as his peers but because they didn't listen to him their country was destroyed by the gods and we can confirm this country was conria because Piero's got the Primo gem-shaped eye which as far as we know is a feature unique to conrance also he may trust his comrades but like I said earlier there is a good chance our lakino is gonna betray him and possibly even get columbina to join her now let's talk about Harbinger Piero's design it's totally reminiscent of kaia's and also his mask reminds me a lot of Dane's lift just because the colors are the same but we'll talk about Dan in a second we know that Piero wasn't the king of conria and was more like an advisor since he failed to gain the favor of the previous ruler and D Luke's new event Quest adds more support to this if you look on top of the Knights of favonia's roof you can find a secret message in a mysterious box that was presumably left by Kaya it details some writings of his father and how the alboric clan became Regents of conria after the previous King earman's strength failed and I take that to mean the guy may have either died or was close to death something like that since the Ulrich Clan wasn't originally Roy oil and Piero wasn't Royal himself and since kiero shares a lot of design elements with Kaya and Kaya is a part of the Albrecht Clan then saying Piero is a part of the albrech clan is a pretty fair assumption to make now a lot of people think Piero is Kaya's dad but I actually think he's kaia's grandfather and I have two reasons for this and one of them is kind of ridiculous so I'll start with the one that makes sense Kaya's father says that Kaya is kanriya's Last Hope which would imply kaia's father might be working towards the restoration of conria I mean we pretty much got confirmation that the albrech clan attempted to restore kondria at some point but failed since the abyss order wants to revive konria 2 then Kaya's father might have been working with them however while it may seem like the abyss order and the fatouli have a line in goals there is one glaring difference between them the abyss and its power are corrosive it causes sickness and delirium in humans it is toxic to the world and life itself and it might be trying to consume the world which is kind of what the deathly statue implies an item Abyss Heralds lecters and shadowy husks just carry around with them it says see my child all that lies under the Throne of Heaven shall be destroyed by upheaval the Eternal peace of the pitch Dark Void shall Embrace us all oh what's under the Throne of Heaven is the world and the pitch Dark Void is likely the abyss which means the abyss order is being driven by the abyss itself to consume the world and drag it into the abyss and that does not align with the fatou's goals also it's possible Piero sees conria as a lost cause all of their people are cursed and according to daneslift there is no cure for the curse so why would he want to restore conria if there's really no point so if he's not working towards the restoration of conria like Kaya's father might be then I highly doubt Piero actually is Kaya's father now for my kind of ridiculous reason for why Piero might be Kaya's grandpappy Kaya says his Grand father was a pirate that found a magic sword of unrivaled power that dropped from Celestia now I don't think kaia's grandfather was actually a pirate nor do I think his grandfather found an actual sword Kaia is known to lace the truth within his lies so consider this Pirates steal things right they steal treasure they loot they raid they do whatever the [ __ ] they want conria had knowledge that they shouldn't have had and they used it to accomplish many things including something that got them destroyed so in a sense you could consider conriens to be Pirates Who Stole The Treasure of the Gods which is knowledge that the gods possess or something to that effect if pirate in this context is actually code for conrion then I'm convinced the magic sword kaia's grandfather found was actually Dane's lift there's another possibility the warrior even Locker who established the evenlocker clan in Monsta could also be the sword since it suggested he went to Conor Maria after leaving monstat but Dane's left and even Locker might actually be the same person for reasons I'm not getting into right now so just ignore even Locker anyway daneslift is named after a sword from a legend called The Saga of hild the contents of this story aren't really important at the moment all you need to know for now is the name dingslip comes from this story aside from that we know daneslift was called the Twilight sword when he served Conrad's Royal Guard so there's two connections to daneslift being a sword now remember unreconciled Stars I know this is an Abrupt turn and this is about to be a crack ass Theory but just stick with me here in the event the constellation of Leonard an ancient Adventurer fell from the sky causing people to fall into a coma and dream of climbing pilos Peak which was Leonard's greatest ambition he never accomplished the fatoui were the ones who caused the Stars to fall but it was never actually explained how they made this happen that's where Piero comes in Piero was the one who sent Scaramouche to invest to get the incident and Scaramouche thought Piero did so intentionally so he could discover the truth of the stars and the fake sky it's not a stretch to say Piero is truly the one who made the stars fall and if he did I think he may have used Dane's Liv's power to accomplish this now there's a very good theory about the stars in the sky actually being ear Mensel Fruit by ashikai and I'll leave a link to that video in the description box below if you want more context but in my opinion it totally makes sense the stars in the sky would actually be ear Mensel fruit the Stars contain memories and Elemental energy so do ear minsal trees through their Roots which make up the leyline network so it makes sense that fruits that grow on the tree would also contain memories and Elemental energy also ear Menzel fruits look a lot like the meteorites and unreconciled stars and if the air missile tree is in fact a world tree then its canopy should extend above and around tabat making up the false sky and its fruits should indeed be the Stars this is where danesliff comes in daneslift's title is bow keeper or bow picker for the Chinese version we know he's got something to do with the ancient Earman sultry since he's got dirt on every character not to mention he talks about time and fate a lot and if he has access to the ear missile tree then all of that makes sense but I wonder what else he might be able to do with his connection to the tree aside from possibly accessing memories if he's a branch keeper or picker then is it possible he could pick fruit from the branches of the tree or shake its branches and cause its fruits to fall in other words is it possible Dane's lift might have the power to make stars fall from the sky and if he can do this then is it possible Piero used him to make the stars fall in unreconciled stars is it possible he is Piero's sword which might then make Piero Kaya's grandfather hmm well this idea requires Piero and Danes live to work together which might sound unlikely since their stances on the gods slightly different Piero's working with a God to take down other gods Danes live doesn't like the gods at all but doesn't want to take them down however as far as we know Dane's lift isn't really working against the fatoui that's D Luke's job the abyss order is more dangerous territory and like I said earlier the fatoui probably don't like the abyss or the abyss order either so who knows maybe Piero and Danes live could have similar abilities I don't know I mean a lot of people thought Dane's lift would be Piero before this teaser dropped look I know this is a crack Theory but it could be possible putting that aside there is one plausible connection I can make between daneslift and Piero but that involves Dane's lift's likely honkai impact counterpart Auto apocalypse Otto was referred to as a fool the biggest fool in the world a bigoted clown who was selfish and single-mindedly obsessed with his desire to revive Colin this gives him a direct parallel to the name Piero which means clown and Otto is extremely similar to the Camellia de larte Piero in that he is melancholic Stern and has his heart broken by the one he loves who does not return his affections Piero is often the butt of the joke and in a sense Otto is too because at the end of the day he still couldn't be with his true love even after reaching his goal even though it didn't matter to him he just wanted her to live just like Otto couldn't prevent Colin's death Harbinger Piero couldn't save his own country perhaps these three are similar in more ways than we realize but we'll just have to wait and watch how their stories unfold and regardless of what Piero's actual relation to Kaya and danesliff is there's no question he's somehow related to both now we arrive at the final Harbinger colombina there's a reason I left her for last she's actually the harbinger that interests me the most it's not about how graceful and creepy she is or how powerful she is but it's more what she likely represents that I'm drawn to in order to properly explain let's first talk about her design and then discuss what we know about her which isn't much at all but that's fine first her constellation is definitely the crying Dove because colombina means little Dove she's actually similar to her Comedia counterpart in a lot of ways Comedia columbina is arguably the sanest character in the play though she does show some Madness in her pursuit of arlikino she often changes clothes makeup and her accent to trick and seduce him maybe we'll see Harbinger Columbiana screwing with Harbinger or lakino in a similar way I don't know Comedia columbina is also graceful and intelligent always having something smart to say to or about someone which explains why Harbinger columbina is sarcastic and Sassy she makes a really shady comment towards dature at the end of the teaser saying you are looking very young today doctor which he did not take as a compliment and she knew he wouldn't I get the idea she knows how to push people's buttons and while appearing innocent she just gives me the impression that she'd smile softly while carving your face off with a knife she just oozes creepy Vibes and the weirdly disturbing singing and smiling just catapults those vibes tenfold for me she might not be crazy per se but she is definitely dangerous she's ranked as the third Harbinger and even child doesn't know why she is but he knows she's extremely dangerous and if I had to guess why she is my first thought is that she isn't human at least not completely which could account for her creepy Vibes and I think de Toray may have created or augmented her she might be a prosthesis columbina and dature speak to each other with a certain level of familiarity that might imply a deeper relationship between the two and it just so happens Camellia de Tori is usually the father of one of the innamorati otherwise known as the lovers while columbina is usually a servant of the female lover and helps the lovers unite she can sometimes be one of the lovers herself and when she is dature is usually her father so I can totally see harbinger's detore and columbina having a similar relationship perhaps one that's between a Creator and his creation and in a sense a father and his artificial daughter think Dr Finkelstein and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas as for who colombina might be a prosthesis of maybe it's of someone Piero knows as I said earlier I think Piero and Otto apocalypse might share a lot of similarities and for those unaware Otto made a whole bunch of clones of Colin in an attempt to revive her Piero definitely isn't the mad scientist type but detore is and he is definitely similar to Auto in a lot of ways both engage in human experimentation they both have clones of themselves and they both share a lot of personality traits too hell you can't spell detore without Auto so maybe Piero asked daturi to create columbina for some purpose or maybe it was pantalone who asked dature Comedia pantalone like comediatotore is a father of one of the lovers and I couldn't help but notice Harbinger pantalone and Harbison colombina kind of look similar though that's mostly because they both have black hair but whatever while columbina often rejects the advances of pantalone in the Comedia in a lot of the English versions of the play pantalone is actually colombina's father I wouldn't be surprised if hoyovers had all three of these harbingers somehow linked to each other maybe colombina was made in the image of pantalones deceased daughter or something I don't know the point is I don't think hollandina is entirely human but who knows there is one thing I'm very convinced of though and this is where the brain rot I warned you about at the beginning of the video comes in I think Piero colombina and arlakino are likely being used to represent the story of the first Sealy and the traveler from afar I know this might seem completely out of left field but I promise you this makes a ton of sense you know I love a good love story and I'm obsessed with the love story between the first Celie and the traveler from afar the two were married in the lunar Palace in the presence of the Moon sisters Arya sonnet and Canon but 30 days following their Union they were cursed and robbed of their memories I actually believe the first Celie is one of the Moon sisters because there's a lot of strange overlap between the four and I have several more reasons that I'm not getting into at the moment you can check this video out where I do explain my reasoning a little bit but I'll also be discussing the sisters a lot more in the near future now in this same video I also talk about her lover The Traveler from afar and how I think he's actually famous this is because there's a lot of similarities between fannies and The Travelers themselves in that each of them are associated with light life and also time fannies means lightbringer and so does Lucifer and in this video I talked about The Travelers being reflective of Lucifer the similarities between The Travelers and thanis are something we are definitely going to talk about in the future also I should clarify that I don't think thanis and the primordial one are the same character at all this is because the encanomeans seemed unsure of the primordial one's name among other things something to discuss in future videos I'm only mentioning this because a lot of people seem to believe the two are the same person I do not so for the sake of this video consider them as two different characters now in this video I offered two choices for the identity of the first Sealy's lover Dane's lift and venti because there are really really good arguments especially for venti that can be made for each of them having the following a romantic interest connections to the Moon sisters connections to Celestia and also connections to Phoenix I even directly called daneslift fannies but again venti is a strong Contender and perhaps an even better fit for the role than daneslith is again refer to part 1.5 as sun and moon for a little more context what's important to understand right now is that I believe these three specifically are part of a love triangle but how do Danes lift the first Sealy and venti relate to these stock characters and their Harbinger counterparts before anyone says it because I feel like someone's gonna say this I don't think columbina is actually the first Sealy and Piero's obviously not danesliff and arloquinos obviously not venti what I think hoyoverse is going to do is use Piero colombina and arloquino's story lines as a frame story of the story of the first Celie and the traveler from afar similar to how the Sun children of enkanomia mirrored the stories of the seven archons and vision wielders but obviously weren't either of those things themselves there were seven Sun children like there are seven archons each of them had similar personalities and Ambitions to the archons the sun children had to partake in the right of solar return and Ascend to the top of the dainichimikoshi to be incinerated by their souls trapped inside much like Vision wielders Ascend to Celestia and also might be imprisoned there forever you get the gist I'm thinking holyo verse is gonna go in a similar Direction with these guys and I'll be extremely surprised if they don't because well get comfortable and get your brain juices flowing I'm gonna need your undivided attention let's start by comparing columbina and the first Sealy colombina is the one singing in the background during a winter nights Lotso normally that wouldn't be anything to point out but in this case it's extremely important the moon sisters are called the daughters of prose and song and their names are based on Musical and poetic pieces they're also called the last singers and the first Celie in particular is depicted as singing in a drunkard's tale it's also Mighty convenient that columbina is ranked as the third Harbinger the number three is the number of the Moon sisters colombina's name literally means little Dove and I linked the moon sisters in this video to doves through the god of time istorov who I also believe is a moon sister I called the sisters the doves who held the branches of the ear Mensel tree again go watch that video for more context the fact that columbina has ties to music doves the number three and is based on a character that's embroiled in a love triangle is just way too coincidental okay what about Piero I already compared him to both danesliff and his honkai impact counterpart Otto earlier and their connections to the Comedia Piero so I don't think I need to explain this one much but I will say Colin looks a lot like a certain emergency food who might be one of the Moon sisters and also connected to the first Sealy and remember dansliff wants to rescue some girl that is one of his goals and I find it very interesting that columbina's code name is the damslet or if you look at the Chinese version the maiden damsels and maidens are always featured in fairy tales concerning Knights or princes who have to rescue a princess the damsel or Maiden from some sort of danger hence the saying Damsel in Distress now Piero doesn't say he's trying to rescue anyone especially a girl but like I said earlier he did try to rescue conria from imminent destruction and failed just like Otto tried and failed to save Colin from her imminent death also it's possible that what Piero might try to save colombina from is arlakino I don't know we'll just have to see what happens and how it happens but I am fully convinced these three characters mirror each other that leaves venti and our lakino this one seems really random right because at first it doesn't look like they're very similar at all however when you look a little deeper the two are a lot more comparable than you might think especially when you compare venti to the Comedia arloquino first of all Harbinger arloquino's code name is the knave naves are regarded as deceitful Scoundrels which is appropriate for our lakino given that there are massive red flags she'll probably betray the fatoui in some way this makes her very similar to her committee a counterpart who actively thwarts the plans of his master he is witty resourceful and cunning at times feigning ignorance to appear dull and dim-witted while secretly being an intelligent trickster his desire for Columbiana is only trumped by his love of food and fear of his master venti is just like this in that he is very witty and cunning is a prankster acts a lot weaker and less capable than he actually is and he's probably working to sabotage his boss Celestia there are a ton of indicators for this too being his apparent disdain for Celestia and his apparent disdain to actually do his job as an archon his very ideal is freedom which seems to be at odds with Celestia's oppressive approach to restricting humanity and he's not outwardly going against Celestia possibly because he can't whether out of fear or a lack of power and instead of having an addiction to food venti's addicted to alcohol now naive is also an archaic term used to refer to young boys especially servant Boys in service to a royal household I don't know if you've noticed but venti has extremely boyish and androgynous looks not to mention you could consider him a servant because he is an archon in service to Celestia which could be likened to a royal household this could be more support for our lakino ranking either 7th or 10th since servants are amongst the lowest ranks in a Royal household not to mention venti is said to be the weakest of the seven archons meaning he ranks seventh amongst his peers though again he's likely a lot more powerful than he seems maybe arloquino is the same way especially if she might be planning a coup Comedia arloquino is also extremely Nimble and acrobatic and hey would you look at that so is venti his element is Animo which offers a high range of Mobility for many of its users Comedia arlikino also takes little or no involvement in the advancement of the plot as he's mostly there for comic relief and to maintain the flow of the performance itself I would argue venti is similar to this as he often takes a very passive role in the story of genshin impact mostly providing comic relief but also subtle Direction by showing up and dropping information or a helpful hint someone conveniently needs at the right moment he's been doing that a lot as of late by the way finally Harbinger arloquino runs the house of the Hearth orphanage and venti is similar to her in that he's picked up some Strays of his own to take care of like devalin who had no parents of his own or a home it was venti who gave Sanctuary Vanessa's tribe could also be collectively likened to orphans because they were exiled from notland and therefore had no home and although they were enslaved in monstat by the Lawrence Clan it was venti who helped free them and provided them with a safe and permanent home guess you could even consider Kaya Albedo and Klee not necessarily as orphans but as people who were left behind by their parents in monstat and didn't really have homes before that and in the case of Kaya and Albedo venti's partially to blame for why they didn't have a home just like our lakino is partially to blame for the fatoui causing situations that create orphans maybe arloquino's story will follow a similar pattern to the story of venti and Vanessa's tribe in this case arlikino might be like venti and Vanessa's tribe might be like her orphans in the house of the Hearth and the Lawrence Clan could be the fatoui and you know what venti was compared to a hearth in the northern Stone Hearth Furnishing item it reads the animal archon's protection has ensured that such hearths are no longer needed for the people of monstat to Outlast the winter this is referring to the time when andreas's blizzards covered the land and venti banished all the ice and snow he became like a hearth that brought warmth to the people of monstad just like arlecino provides refuge for her orphans in the cold of snesh Naya maybe she too will blow the snow away and free her family these two might be far more similar than you might think okay if columbina represents the first Sealy Piero represents danesliff arlikino represents venti and the Comedia columbina and arloquino are the ones in love then I'd say arloquino best represents the role of the traveler from afar in this frame story which would imply venti is the traveler from afar since I think the traveler from afar is also thany's that would make venti fannies not danesliff like I said in this video and again there are many plausible arguments to support this but I'm not going into that conversation right now just follow my brain rot for a second okay my point is if venti is fany's and Harbinger arloquino is meant to mirror venti then I think the nails being arlikino's constellation makes even more sense in fact it's perfect I never thought I'd go back to Sunday school but here we go and y'all are coming with me it's time to talk about Jesus nails are often associated with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ the this constellation may just be one big reference to the holy nails the nails that were used in Jesus's crucifixion of which there were either three or four it really depends on who you ask along with Jesus's Crown of Thorns these nails refer to the passion of Jesus the passion is not just Jesus's suffering and death upon the cross it's really the story that leads up to his crucifixion all the way to his resurrection the passion encapsulates Jesus's suffering through all of these events and again the nails represent his crucifixion why is any of this important for genshin well genshin takes a lot of inspiration from the abrahamic faiths but aren't families and Jesus kind of similar genshen thanis is a part of a quintet of gods that are really just emanations of one being similar to how Jesus is a part of the Divine Trinity being the sun aspect of one God on that note if thanes truly is meant to reflect Jesus in some way then maybe fannies is a son too or in other words one of The Shining Shades and not the father or in other words the primordial one Speaking of the primordial one and their shining Shades this may seem random but I'm sure you guys have heard the very popular theory about the artifacts representing them well you know the circlet of logos logos is something that's roughly translated to mean logic or reasoning that's how the word is used today but that isn't a perfect translation the Greek word originally referred to the content of a speech and its structure though even the Greeks used this word in different ways given that the Chinese name for the circlet of logos is the crown of reason it kind of makes you wonder why a lot of the localizations of the game typically Western ones use logos instead of just reason I mean it would be a little more accurate to the source material right well in Christianity the logos is a title for Jesus Christ this is because Jesus is called the word of God and thus embodies the Divine logos I can't help but wonder if logos was intentionally used to refer to Jesus and ultimately be an indirect reference to thani's but even if it wasn't the most important similarity between Jesus and thanis is their major theme of death and Resurrection if our lakino truly mirrors venti who might be the traveler from afar and fannies I will not be surprised if these nails are indeed our lakino's constellation nor will I be if her rank is number seven I rest my case for now alrighty here is my final lineup for the harbinger's ranks and constellations rank 11 is tartalia with the monoceros kai Kate the whale constellation Rank 10 is sandrone with the marionette rank 9 is pantalone with the spiral hand rank 8 is another one bites the dust with the moth rank 7 is arlikino with the three Nails rank six is Scaramouche with the doll holding a heart rank 5 is polchinella with the plague doctor's mask Rank 4 is the Torre with the symbol for heresy Rank 3 is columbina with the crying Dove Rank 2 is Capitano with the hand of glory and rank 1 is Piero with the crying clown mask I was gonna rant about Chess but [ __ ] I'm tired my brain is mush and I'm sure your brains are mush too so I'm gonna end it here this teaser was so perfect and I want more I want to play all the harbingers I just I want them all they're so cool even if you kill them all off mihoya let us play them please and I can not wait for sumero to drop but what are your thoughts on this teaser and on sumero I guess and what is your Harbinger List look like why don't you show me all right I'm gonna go play in the golden apple archipelago for a bit I'm pretty sure Mona and Fishel have been waiting at the gates for like two weeks thank you for watching if you made it this far like seriously damn kudos to you I appreciate you and I'll see you guys on the other side of the moon thank you
