So Arlecchino’s real name was Peruere? Also nice to see Scara, Signora, Capitano and Pierro here as well

[–]huehuehuehuehuuuu 412 points413 points  (5 children)

Fuzzy hoodie Scara. But god forbid he puts on long pants.

[–]DatStabKitty854982150 258 points259 points  (3 children)

The cold didn't bother him anyway.

[–]AlexHitetsu 60 points61 points  (1 child)

Well, he's a machine, so it makes sense

[–]Increase-Typical The commissioner's no.1 fangirl 65 points66 points  (0 children)

He's a rebellious teenage boy, they all wear shorts

[–]nostalgeek81 295 points296 points  (10 children)

I love that Scara was already there at number six and then Arle came in and was like “number 4, thank you”

[–]Saffyr 156 points157 points  (9 children)

It did say the former owner of the HotH was a harbinger as well, probably was the former #4 so as her killer, Arle succeeded that number as well.

[–]Murky_Blueberry2617Dainsleif and Skirk wanter 37 points38 points  (7 children)

Damn just think how big the gap is between rank 4 and 3 is.

Arlecchino was already harbinger level as a child

[–]gilbert1908 45 points46 points  (6 children)

The OP you replied too only speculate, we dont know if the former knave is the 4th, Arle killed her when she was a child before she receives her pyro vision and pyro delusion

[–]Murky_Blueberry2617Dainsleif and Skirk wanter 20 points21 points  (2 children)

True. It would be pretty insane if she was the 4th and somehow lost to a child lol

[–]VirtuoSol 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Curse powers go bbrrrrrr

[–]storyspriteSanest Furina Main 63 points64 points  (2 children)

Yeah but let's talk about Capitano's shoes. What is boy doing wearing beige/brown boots with black clothes.

[–]Vlixony Double Yelan in the same 10x wish 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I wanted to see more of Columbina

[–]Ghavarus Wangsheng Gang 726 points727 points  (40 children)

P̶e̶r̶u̶e̶r̶e̶ Arlecchino unleashed a huge beam and killed a Harbinger by herself when she was still a teenager... No wonder she's rank 4.

[–]MasterCrab 243 points244 points  (6 children)

Seems like she was also physically stronger than the previous Knave despite being a teenager. You can see her restrain the other person's sword hand before she kicks them into the ceiling.

[–]Murphy_LawXIV 228 points229 points  (4 children)

Didn't you notice that only happened in the 2nd half of the fight after the curse grew? She didn't just decide to stop playing around, the curse made her stronger.

[–]MasterCrab 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Yes I also noticed that. The fact that she can physically compare to a harbinger while being so young is still notable though despite the curse giving her a power boost.

[–]crselam 92 points93 points  (22 children)

without a vision or a delusion it seems 👀

[–]aiza_kanashira 205 points206 points  (15 children)

She probably had her vision though, we see her using pyro during the fight while the previous Knave uses cryo

[–]Red_Cat231 332 points333 points  (38 children)

So from what I can tell, the orphans were forced to kill each other by the last Knave (probably as a test or initiation) and that's why Peruere killed her and became the new Knave? Also she had her Pyro vision by this point? Edit: Or maybe it's innate since I did not see a vision at all. Also, I noticed people were confused if I didn't know the lore, I do know the general lore and that the House of the Hearth is just a front to gain new Fatui members.

[–]CommunityOk1799 237 points238 points  (8 children)

Seems like the pink hair girl killed herself on the sword, at the end you can see Arlecchino still holding a sword.

[–]Ero_ecchi_ 22 points23 points  (7 children)

I feel like I've seen similar concept in some other anime.... Where a character holds the sword and the other one deliberately falls onto it.... But can't remember. Someone pls tell me the anime if you guys can remember, I'm dying trying to remember it.

[–]TheBlitzStyler 13 points14 points  (2 children)

something similar hsdthappened in a couple different shows but this one reminded me of kakashi and rin from maruto

[–]jonathaxdx 5 points6 points  (1 child)

also sai and his friend/brother. the context is even similar with them being from a organization that rises children, trains them into assasins and the forces them to kill each other.

[–]Known_Holiday8085 susbedo 182 points183 points  (1 child)

It looks like red hair impaled herself on the sword hence why arle is shocks and red hair girl says sorry

[–]mango_pan 114 points115 points  (13 children)

The orphans taken in by the house of hearth were raised to be soldiers of the fatui. They had to fight each other and eventually killing each other. The winner will be shipped out of the house as strong soldier (a product from the house of hearth) of the fatui.

After this batch is finished the Knave as the caretaker of the house is supposed to train another batch of orphans. Unfortunately the "education" didn't work on Peruere and some of her close friends (bc they possessed kindness and compassion). But they had to participate in the "competition" anyway (it's kill or to be killed). Peruere hates her "mother" that made her and her friends killing each other then proceeds to confront her, eventually killing her. She was then captured by the fatui after killing her "mother", a harbinger. This feat was recognized and thus she's pardoned for her crime by the Tsaritsa herself in exchange that she have to fill her "mother" vacant seat and all her responsibilities.

[–]The_OG_upgoat 49 points50 points  (2 children)

All those random Fatui Operatives we kill were probably some of the successful kids.

[–]cuddles_the_destroye 19 points20 points  (1 child)

There's a few side quests here and there where they are explicitly hearth kids

[–]The_OG_upgoat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Inazuma ones in particular.

Imagine surviving a brutal battle royale (before Arlecchino's takeover at least), only to get merked by a blonde twink and his flying gremlin companion on your first mission.

[–]Mysterious-Set-3844 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just like kyoukais clan from kingdom or zabuzas village from naruto

[–]Are_u_a_wizard 19 points20 points  (8 children)

Why would they bother raising generations of orphans just to take 1. It makes no sense especially if we're talking about intelligence gathering where strength isn't really the most important metric.

Also freminet said he saw the previous director so they raise multiple generations at the same time. That would mean every 5 or so years everyone kill each other for no reason. Doesn't seem very effective way to have a strong intelligence network.

I think this whole killing each other was just the madness of the previous knave or a special occasion but definitely not a normal occurence.

[–]mango_pan 19 points20 points  (2 children)

There are probably more than one orphanages managed by the house of hearth. And the one Peruere in was a "special" one used to nurture future leaders of the fatui, not just the foot soldiers. Therefore the "re-education" and training were harsher and stricter.

[–]FlameDragoon933 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Why would they bother raising generations of orphans just to take 1. It makes no sense especially if we're talking about intelligence gathering where strength isn't really the most important metric.

Maybe that's why Tsaritsa forgave Peruere and made her the new Arlecchino, the old one might not be the brightest tool in the shed lol.

[–]soihu 102 points103 points  (7 children)

i don't think those were vision powers in that fight. the black markings on her limbs look like what Caterpillar (artifical human/hilichurl) from the fontaine world quest has.

[–]MartinZ02 32 points33 points  (4 children)

On the other hand, her attack at the end looks to me like it's a different shade of red from all her other fire attacks throughout the battle, which implies they come from seperate sources.

[–]ozholmes 5 points6 points  (1 child)

May be she gained her vision when she killed "mother"? Visions are given when ones ambition is realised and perhaps in that moment Arlecchino realised her own ambition. "Mother, my answer is no." Gains a fire vision and burns the harbinger to death with both her curse and vision?

[–]Dragneel2001 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree those have been present since the time her design was leaked so yeah she is definitely similar to Caterpillar

[–]crselam 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Also she had her Pyro vision by this point?

when fighting "Mother" she had no vision / delusion. maybe the control she has over pyro is a result of her curse?

[–]DatStabKitty854982150 32 points33 points  (2 children)

They are raised as child soldiers just like the Fatui operatives now. The scene where she said "Do mothers often argue with their daughters?" suggest that either Clervie just recieved training or punishment from Mother.

This is so sad I want someone to make a PeruerexClervie slice of life 😭

[–]FlameDragoon933 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is so sad I want someone to make a PeruerexClervie slice of life 😭

hoyo: slice of life? best we can do is slicing of life

[–]Darebears 659 points660 points  (11 children)

Clervie made the fatal mistake of sharing her dream to see something in the future.

[–]Dragneel2001 204 points205 points  (1 child)

You love to see them good old red flags and Death Flags

[–]Arc_7 Rays of sunshine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't forget her "mother" with that hair coming from side on shoulder mom haircut 

[–]GeneralZhukov 74 points75 points  (2 children)

Also that one like about Purple Roses representing parting from Lyney's SQ.

Girl had that as a necklace and I knew it was over.

[–]Awkward_Date_8636Where artifacts to become BAEdou main? 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I didn't even see the purple rose until the mother was standing near the grave with the wilting one. I heard "Let's see the auroras together" and knew it was game over for Clervie.

[–]Brooke_the_BardThe Last Dehya Main 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Purple Roses

They're Lumidouce Bells, but yes

[–]mango_pan 61 points62 points  (0 children)

She raised a death flag there

[–]FlyingRencong 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Fr girl raised not a flag but a fricking death banner there

[–]JoelMahon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

rookie mistake, skill issue fr

[–]BioticFire 924 points925 points  (102 children)

So that's why she's called "Father". She really hated her Mother and want nothing associated with that name.

[–]Dragneel2001 388 points389 points  (17 children)

The reason is literally told in the story, A mother to her is someone who is cruel but in a gentle and loving manner but to her a father is someone who is caring and nice but also strict and unfeeling the difference here is a Mother will always show the facade of being nice even when she is being cruel to her children meanwhile a Father will always act tough and strict even though they want to praise their kids and care for them that is the contrast between being called Mother and Father nothing else also Arlecchino changes the title to Father also because she wanted to erase the past of the Hearth and start a new much better system

[–]Zapdos678 379 points380 points  (10 children)

holy run on sentence

[–]thegrandbizarre_ 247 points248 points  (4 children)

That's not even a run-on sentence, that's just a total lack of sentence structure understanding lmao

That said they're only speaking real facts here

[–]FrothingMouth 61 points62 points  (3 children)

Only real facts, to the exclusion of all grammar.

[–]H4xolotl 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I can't this animation was breathtaking

[–]VeGr-FXVGNail me Celestia, I am ready 123 points124 points  (14 children)

Maybe, but before she bore the mantel, the pink girl did say she was going to be a great King, so was already using/receiving different gendered terms which I found interesting.

Edit: Nvm, I'm not going to speculate on the "curse" just yet.

[–]MrJack20252 150 points151 points  (3 children)

the pink girl did say she was going to be a great King, so was already using/receiving different gendered terms which I found interesting.

"King" is the title of the children that wins the "Battle Royale" in the house of the hearth

[–]WolfSong1929 29 points30 points  (1 child)

Gotta get those chicken dinners

[–]ComposedOfStardust 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No no, barbeque dinners, remember?

[–]FlameDragoon933 42 points43 points  (0 children)

additionally since Genshin's original language is Chinese... actually, I don't know much about Chinese, but in Japanese (which is really close since the Japanese language takes a lot from Chinese anyway) while "queen" is a gendered title, "king" is gender-neutral.

[–]danivus 103 points104 points  (0 children)

That wasn't specific to her. The story at the start the mother was reading specifically told all of the children their goal was "to defeat all your brothers and sisters in battle and become king".

It's got nothing to do with Arlecchino preferring male pronouns, it was just the generic term for ruler in the book.

[–]ohoni 26 points27 points  (7 children)

"King" often translates poorly. A lot of anime for example use the term "King" in a completely non-gendered way, without implying any gender identity on female characters that use it. There isn't an easy English translation to that.

[–]Offduty_shill 11 points12 points  (4 children)

My Chinese is not the best nowadays but I think "king" translated to Chinese is kinda gender neutral, like usually it is a man but if a woman were to take on the title they would also just be "king". The usual translation of "queen" could be interpreted in a very literal sense more as "wife of the king"

[–]khromechronicle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it's like when someone was raised by an abusive parent, they just refer to their first name instead of mom/dad to distance themselves from them...

[–]Mr_Phyl 714 points715 points  (14 children)

It was already over when Mother was rocking the Dead anime mom hairstyle.

[–]I_READ_TEA_LEAVES 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Lmao. The hairstyle got her.

Lisa sweating bullets.

[–]floricel_112 40 points41 points  (3 children)

It's alright. All she has to do is not take care of any kids....

looks at Razor

....ohno

[–]ostrieto17AR 120 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Razor goes berserk and eats Lisa when she turns out evil and tries to extract the power of Andrius that would be a plot twist I wouldn't be expecting.

[–]sawDustdust 66 points67 points  (1 child)

Is she going to show up in game flashback with generic NPC model using one of the side braids?

[–]BioticFire 747 points748 points  (17 children)

Arlechinno's real name is Peruere!

[–]GrumpySatan 383 points384 points  (7 children)

Meaning "to perish". She dies and the Knave is born.

[–]crimsonomens 165 points166 points  (5 children)

She is also literally a walking grim reaper. 1 more week . . .

[–]throw-away1122 68 points69 points  (3 children)

She appears to be a fucking 6* character due to her motions. She is also a grim reaper who, while being young, defeated a harbinger to take her place.

[–]Murphy_LawXIV 17 points18 points  (1 child)

She only did that after the curse started to spread, her own natural skills were seen in the 1st half of the fight.

[–]Sp33dyGG 92 points93 points  (4 children)

And it sounds very much like "Perinheri"!

AHHHHHHHH!!!

[–]huehuehuehuehuuuu 27 points28 points  (1 child)

I am so behind on lore and it hurts.

[–]FlameDragoon933 18 points19 points  (0 children)

it's an in-game book series about a/the kingdom in Khaenri'ah.

[–]storyspriteSanest Furina Main 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Indeed! It's quite close. Though Peri didn't suffer from any curse (that we know of). I hope they go into it during her story quest.

[–]lacena 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It also sounds like 'Pers' (silent s), which is what Freminet named his penguin companion. Hrm....

[–]Gwyn_MichaelisI want to hug Furina and kiss her on the forehead. 381 points382 points  (16 children)

[–]Kant8 7 points8 points  (7 children)

And again they positioned him so we don't see color of his pendant.

[–]ohdeerarchon 409 points410 points  (21 children)

So now we know the previous Knave is definitely dead and we also got to see Scara in Snezhnaya!

[–]TheSpartyn my brother in christ scaramouche can fucking fly 309 points310 points  (0 children)

i like how they made up for signora and scara not appearing with coats in winters night lazzo

[–]MarcsterS 44 points45 points  (8 children)

And was that Scara on the left?

[–]Creepy-Ad-404 C3R1 in 207 pulls 31 points32 points  (0 children)

yes

[–]genshinimpact Official[S] 563 points564 points  (10 children)

Some believe that growing up is to gradually break free from the shackles.

Fate sets the most brutal rules for us, turning day into night, leaving the future dwelling in but the lingering warmth of dreams.

Thus, our weapons clash, burying the remnants of another setting sun, and welcoming the next rising dawn.

Then, when the cage shatters, once and for all—

May gentle flames envelop the shriveled flowers, with their song echoing in the embers.

[–]Hikuran 80 points81 points  (17 children)

And without a vision or delusion. Bare-handed

[–]Experimantal 80 points81 points  (11 children)

So question is, where does her pyro control come if not from a vision, and what is the use of her pyro vision then if she already is able to use pyro without it

[–]Hikuran 69 points70 points  (4 children)

Her hands, probably Hilichurl/Khariah tech.
Very likely to be the result of human test done by Mother

[–]ANovathatisdepressed 21 points22 points  (5 children)

Do we see her vision on her at all during the fight? I'm gonna try and look to see if I can spot it and maybe it's from her "curse" that the previous knave mentioned?

[–]Experimantal 33 points34 points  (4 children)

No vision in the animation but she got one on her adult model ingame, maybe it is a fake vision like archons wear if she can already use pyro

[–]ANovathatisdepressed 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hopefully her story quest mentions it. Well we'll find out cuz of the vision story everyone gets if they have one

[–]nqtoan1994 25 points26 points  (0 children)

She probably had used a Vision or a Delusion. Her flames had 2 distinct colors: when she charged at the start and later used her sword to create several flame slashes, the color was orange-red, and when she created the flame with her own hand to manifest it, the flame's color was dark red.

fr I barely felt it, shit's too fire

[–]MarcsterS 245 points246 points  (11 children)

So she calls herself Father because she doesn't want to be like her old "Mother". Also I'm guessing maybe the reasy why the Trio are fighting Arle is because SHE wants them to fight her, to become the new heads of the House. Maybe her "curse" AKA the black hands are taking her over.

[–]Cherry_Bomb_127 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Yeah they have certainly spread. Maybe she’s going to do sth like Zhongli did for fear of erosion but her fear is the curse

[–]kickassicalia 35 points36 points  (0 children)

or she doesn’t want them to be weak and allow themselves to be killed

[–]laralye 62 points63 points  (4 children)

[–]Yatsufusa_K9 41 points42 points  (4 children)

Clerive and Crucabena ("Mother") have same colored hair and eyes... Peruere did explicitly ask "Do mothers usually argue with their daughters" to Clerive (as she's bandaging herself, implying that she just had an argument).

Well, we saw Clerive grown-up, so whoever was in the preview... is her daughter? Could see why Peruere wants to search for her so badly then.

I had the tiniest hope they would actually show the Tsaritsa since we're roughly away from Snezhnaya around the same time all the Harbingers were revealed to now, but we got Pierro'ed. At least we got to see Scara (remembered) and Signora (alive) in their Snezhnaya Business attire. Wonder if Capitano being there signifies anything though (hopefully not bad, considering the other 2 that are there, Pierro is excused since he has narrative purpose).

[–]Graimon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I saw someone say it was probably Hoyo just taking the opportunity to show Scara and Signora in their harbinger coats and Capitano because he is likely going to be the main antagonist of the next arc

[–]GrumpySatan 109 points110 points  (1 child)

Its nice to see some blood for once given how little we typically see, and see how brutal the house of the hearth's policies were.

Interesting that her Cater-hands are the result of a curse. I wonder if she is just like Cater and the previous Knave was doing experiments based on Jakob's research. Given the animations showed off in the livestream and her bossfight, her curse seems tied to the crimson moon dynasty from the recent book. So the curse being that the body is of a hilichurl like Cater would make sense, just a really old one.

[–]Dragneel2001 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah basically you are correct she is definitely like Caterpillar and also everyone in the hearth was going through some kind of experimentation

[–]Pi-AlamodeFat Diluc Truther 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Father is Fathering hell yes

[–]Axlzz 23 points24 points  (4 children)

Is that the same building that currently have the mech boss, Experimental Field Generator?

It's really look the same, and the roof is broken like how the flame beam did in this video.

[–]SexWithYae-Miko69 33 points34 points  (1 child)

It’s similar, but it’s not. My guess is that it’s the same building/ruins that we will fight Arlecchino as a weekly boss. The ruins is also Circular and most of the walls are wiped out just like in this animation.

[–]Axlzz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've rewatched the explosion again it's really blow up all the wall, the mech boss building didn't broken enough like this.

[–]Dragneel2001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah it's the new boss battle place that will come out in 4.6

[–]AviatorG 72 points73 points  (7 children)

Now that we know what Arlecchino’s backstory is like, it’s interesting to see that as ruthless as Arlecchino may seem, she’s still… kinder to the kids compared to the precious Knave. Sure, the current generation of kids at the House of the Hearth are basically child soldiers, but at least they’re taught to be united as a family rather than being forced to kill each other. And Arlecchino isn’t a murderous lunatic pretending to be a caring mother- who the kids see is exactly who they’re getting out of Arlecchino.

[–]mikeBH28 36 points37 points  (6 children)

That does make sense, what I'm still trying to figure out is why they have childe and scara both say how batshit insane she is. Other then her attempt to kill furina we haven't seen her do anything that gives that impression, yes she is intimidating but so far she has been kind of helpful really and and seems to genuinely care for her family. Just want to see a bit of evil in a playable character once

[–]_Syntax_Err 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think it’s probably because her methods are crazy. They called her mad. If she’s cursed she may not have a choice or it could be that she’s mad from the literal child abuse. Either way I can’t wait for her story quest!

[–]ErenIsNotADevil lumi's #1 wife/simp/main 28 points29 points  (3 children)

Childe & Scara were aware that she killed the previous Harbinger, quite brutally.

Childe was looking at her from the position of a loyal Harbinger, which obviously isn't quite the case with Arle. If you gave Arle a choice between her kids and the Tsaritsa, she'd go with prior.

Scara was looking at her from the usual Scara standpoint; a dash of arrogance and down-looking. He didn't trust her, which just makes sense.

Other than that, Arle's rep has more to do with the legacy of the Knave than her actual actions. Being the head of the House of the Hearth carries with it the whole child soldier thing. We know now that she didn't make the system (as it was her predecessor), just continued it, while getting rid of the whole "kill your siblings" thing. Alas, the rest of Teyvat does not know this, including the rank-and-file of the Hearth (like our ex-Fatuus shrine maiden friend in Inazuma and the half-load cargo pair in Sumeru.)

[–]mikeBH28 13 points14 points  (1 child)

I just get the feeling that they wouldn't have said those things without seeing it for themselves, I don't see either of them to just go on reputation and hearsay. Also if she really would do unspeakable things to protect her family I'd like to see it, overall there must be some truth in there words and I hope we get some of that, will have to wait and see

Some interesting stuff I noticed:

  1. In the English version baby Arlecchino asks "do mothers usually argue with their daughters" but in CN she specifies that "do *birth/real* mothers fight their *birth/real* daughters?". Also if we look at the eye/hair colours of Clervie and the old Knave, we can make a connection that Clervie is the real birth daughter of their "mother" which makes the whole "I should have pruned this flower long ago" allegory that much more sickening.

  2. In of the scene after Clervie dies and before Arlecchino goes to fight the old Knave, we see a dull blade with a bulle fruit ornament hanging from it. That's the same ornament the blond twin tailed girl had, so she's probably also dead. If we look back to the picture book in the beginning it shows a bunny with a bulle fruit hair ornament standing victoriously in front of a kneeling pink bunny (Clervie). I would argue that Clervie likely was killed by the blond girl who then perished at the hands of Arlecchino.

  3. Speaking of the picture book, there's a Frankenstein's monster looking bat doctor shown in the scene. That's probably Doctore performing sick experiments on the orphans. Which is reinforced with the scene showing a syringe in the orphanage bedroom floor.

[–]Exenite 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I think it's funny that even in this, she doesn't need a healer and just dodges

[–]spartaman64 63 points64 points  (11 children)

in the chinese dub it says the pink haired girl is the mother's biological child. when bandaging the girl arlecchino says 亲母女也会吵架吗 which means biological mother and daughter also argue?

[–]NoteBlock08 19 points20 points  (1 child)

As in "[Do you think that] real mothers fight with their children too?"

[–]alanalan426 dadada! 9 points10 points  (0 children)

they did look similar

[–]AMartinHP98 78 points79 points  (22 children)

So if Mother was a Harbinger, maybe she was the #10?

Also Mother name was Crucabena? The video credits in Youtube mencion that name

[–]jtan1993 71 points72 points  (9 children)

isn't she the previous knave.

[–]Totaliss low-tier goddesses 51 points52 points  (8 children)

their titles and rankings are separate. the ranking is by power, the title is just whatever they are bestowed when they become a harbinger

[–]Revan0315 41 points42 points  (0 children)

There'd still be an unaccounted slot somewhere if that's the case, since the total number of harbingers didn't change when Arle killed her

[–]Yani-Madara 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The video says she gets the title and bloodshed of the Knave, it's safe to assume it's the 4th.

[–]Cherry_Bomb_127 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ahhhhh!!!

That’s all I can say

[–]great-baby-red 53 points54 points  (2 children)

She is such a badass, I'm glad we get to see this glimpse into her past.

Also it's kinda funny Aventurine and Arlecchino both killed theirmaster and inherited their title as a member of the exclusivemorally-grey but powerful club

[–]softcombat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i've been thinking about that too lol, with the fact that aventurine also had to fight in some battle royale it seems orchestrated by his former master... and now we find out arlecchino was in one as well

mhy is really fixated on this idea rn i guess LOL

[–]schifferjack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Makes sense the order of Harbingers are not based on chronology but abilities. Cause no way Knave is older than Signora and Scara given they're at least 500 years old and she doesn't look like someone who lives for 100s

[–]Adhito 80 points81 points  (14 children)

I just wanted to point out that Mihoyo has finally begun to create EN Song's for Genshin similar to HI3 and HSR and here's hoping to more EN Song's for the future region (inhales copium).

The previous song that I remember is Yunjin song (CN) and Furina story quest (FR). It would be nice if they create something like Moon Halo or White Night

[–]Euxis 49 points50 points  (1 child)

I think the live orchestras of the nation's main theme are supposed to be Genshin's counterpart. An EDM song probably wouldn't work with the setting.

[–]Konno_Yuuki 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Her mother gives Cocolia vibes. Is this the 3rd hoyo game where the daughter fights her mother figure?

[–]ArlesPillow 38 points39 points  (1 child)

She Signora'd the hell out of the Previouse Knave

Well damn, that was a sexy fight scene. Hoyo really likes flexing their muscles when they get a chance.

[–]SideshowMan17771 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Alright I think her origins and her curse is

1) she is an experiment by Jakob to perfect his Neohuman project and Arlecchino escaped.

2) she has connections to the Crimson Moon especially the "Chimney" stated in Perinheri.

[–]Lolis- 11 points12 points  (2 children)

What is the blood supposed to be? Like the bandages and syringes and stuff. Are they at a treatment facility, or experimentation?

[–]pebreh 49 points50 points  (0 children)

the first time the blood and bandages appear seems to imply that Clervie was beaten by Mother hence Arle questioning if mothers and daughter argue. the second time the blood, syringes and bandages appear implies experimentation because of previous npc dialogue in the game and the 'mutated'/frankenstein teddy bear at the beginning of the short

[–]Dragneel2001 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Experimentation ofc, the fatui that we fight in game are all heavily modified which is why they hide their faces and other body portions cuz they all are heavily modified
