Bruh the way Arleccino kicked her “mother” was personal. And just the fact that she killed a harbinger at that age really just shows that shes number four outta the eleven for a reason

I'm curious why so many people miss that Crucabena ("Mother") spells out _why_ Cervie and the other kids died right at the beginning of the video. The "story" she reads them isn't fiction. She outright tells the kids that when they get older, she's going to have them fight each other to the death, and the child who survives will be the strongest and be declared "King".

i'm so mad that everyone keeps missing the initial part of the book 😅

Lol not a single reaction I've seen payed attention to the first 20 seconds. It tells you that the previous knave forced the children to fight to the death to determine her successor.

I feel like Arlecchino's killing of the previous Knave and becoming "Father" seemed to fulfill her best friend Clervie's wish, to become a "great king"

Spiders don't eat cake 🎂 -Arlecchino

Video says Hunger games pvp orphanage from the get go, also streamers when the friend dies " what , why?"

Peruere/Arle definitely didn't kill Clevrie. If you notice the reflection, as Clevrie falls down, Arle is _still holding her sword_. It's most likely why Clevrie apologized (for breaking their promise to see the aurora borealis), and why Arle came to "Mother" with Clevrie's sword. She probably stabbed herself, as she couldn't fight her best friend.

This trailer proves that Paimon is necessary for the game because nobody paid attention to the storybook part in the first 20 seconds like cmon really.

Idk just how many times I've watched reactions to this and I still get chills and I still cry a little during that "..my answer is no." scene. ohmygod

The way she kicked "Mother" against the ceiling is my favorite part.

The story of Arlecchino's past is literally a story that has a very happy and peaceful beginning, but in the end it has a sad ending, it makes me feel sad for her

Wishing everyone a lucky pull on Arlecchino banner ✨✨✨

7:48 Pretty sure she offed herself rather than fighting Arle. The shot is kind of a common way to depict that in anime and manga without fully showing it, and we dont see her hands so she is likely holding the sword hilt.

why did no one pay attention to the story in the beginning where it literally plots it out for you saying "orphan battle royale" and then every gets surprised when she kills her friend.

what are those theories, the reason for the killing is only because of the reason why the house of hearts was built. it's like Gu. You put all kinds of poisonous bug in a jar and wait for only one to come out which will be the strongest poison of them all, the king poison. The last fight was between the two best friends, the rest are dead. Arlec is the only one that has the rights to claim the king title and kill their 'mother'. But at the same time she is also taking out her anger on her because of the same said killings.

Why does the dead harbinger look like the witch from afk arena 💀💀

Idk about y’all, I’d be pretty pissed off as well if I was forced to kill my best friend

I didn’t realize this after I’d watched multiple people react to this, but when Peruere says “do mothers usually argue with their daughters?” she’s talking about abuse. I’m pretty sure the wound she’d just helped Clervie patch up was from their “Mother”

My honest reaction to 2:40 : Paimon: So what you're saying is, Arlecchino was forced in her teens into a battle royale death match against all the orphans she grew up with? Aww, this makes Paimon so sad... Why did it have to end up this way? Traveler: 1. I agree. 2. I agree too. CatWithBlueHat functions as the Paimon on YT for Genshin, and Dr Ratio on YT for HSR. May the Archons bless his effort.

1:46 I think the English translation team pulled a punch here because that whole scene’s staging implies there wasn’t just an argument, there may have been a physical fight between a child and adult, aka an adult abusing a child, which is why Peruere had to bandage up Clervie

Hoyo is cooking this time just for arlecchino✨

*at the beginning telling a story about siblings fighting each other to become king* -Bran is confused why 2:40

Peruere didn't kill Clervie, or at least not intentionally. After Clervie who's been impaled by the sword falls down, when the rain starts, you can see in the reflection in the glass that Peruere is still holding her blade.

When Clervie said "When we grow up let's go see it together" i got a thousand death flags 😶

I think kid in the end is the kid that died on her trailer, the one she called snezhevna her child.

The storybook at the start pretty much laid out how the House of the Hearth operated. The children learned and gained strength, then they would kill each other in a battle royale so that the last one alive is crowded King. Seeing as the building were either in ruins or covered with sights of battle and the other children are missing, Peruere and Clervie were probably the last two remaining combatants, and were simply forced to fight each other.

I like how, at that final moment, when she said no to mother, the form of a scythe takes shape and is quickly thrown. And due to it probably forming the first time, it is not a clear image of it

This is made by hoyos own animation studio while the genshin anime is gonna be made by ufotable so its gonna look more crispier than this but not as smooth as this Atleast this is what i think is gonna happen based on both studios work uptil now but who knows maybe hoyos budget turns it both smooth and crispy

I remember watching you react to all demos 2 years ago! It's really fun coming back to you and seeing you react to this! Keep up the work

arle mains are so well fed i love it here

Wait I just realized MAYBE THE CHILD AT THE END IS TIMMY, THE BIRD UP ARCHON

Lmao I like how everyones’ reaction to the kid in the last scene was “Kakavasha??”

after i watch something i dont cry after the second watch the music has a magic ability to always make me cry

No I wonder if Clervie will have something to do with Arlechinno character quest? it will be interesting to find out.

I was waiting for ur reaction!! Hehe. The short was great

Bran's lustrious hair caught me off-gaurd at the start.

Goddamn this shor animation is a big showcase of a Harbinger’s power. We’ve seen glimpses with Tartaglia and Scara but seeing one pop off is crazy.

I just love the fact Bran compares it to a battle music to a Witcher OST which I totally would agree with him. Its amazing.

LUL! My first reaction legitimately was "Oh damn! Look at that luscious hair my man is rocking" Arlecchino hype is real. Love to see genshin getting some love with animations too now lol

The scene where it goes from arlecchino to her stabbing clervie is the fight to become the next "king" of the hearth as was told in the story the mother read at the start basically they fight to the death which i think is going yo be an important fact in the story quest since we see arlecchino fighting lyney and freminet

Her curse shows at the apex of the fight when she switches from emotional to calm, and the tides turn. I noticed her hands/arms were turning black, much like Caterpiller, the hilichurl that learned human speech… when he takes on a human form his hands and arms are also black. I wonder if Arrlechino is turning into an Abyss monster, and that is her curse?? Further, it explains why she always has gloves on her arms are probably permanently black.

I LOVE YOUR VIDS BRAN - ALSO I LOVE HOW YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR HAIR :DDD BUTIFUL

The children story book at the beginning clearly states that the house of the hearthe is a Battle Royale, and becoming a king prolly means to be the next Head of the Hose of the Hearthe or something else.

The little boy is mentioned in her character stories in the "Profile", after you unlock friendship level 4 irc

whenever i'm watching this animation (or watching people's reaction), i have to remind to myself that this is *Genshin Impact* , it's soo different from what we've used to from any kind of animation content that it's felt so... fresh. This is something else man, if this is the production quality of the Anime... my god.

5:36 lmao, the face-

Fun fact, you can actually find the location where arlechino defeated mother in game.

The "Mother's" name is Crucabena a Gallic equivalent of the Welsh enchantress Ceridwen.

NGL Crucabena looks exactly like Jade, the eyes, the hair and the smooth snake like voice and without that giant hat LMFAO

I read it somewhere that it is possible that Crucabena planned to kill her own daughter ("I should have pruned this flower long ago") but is upset to see her getting killed instead ("not wait till it wilts, how grotesque") -> from the way she talks to the flower and the bell flower kinda represents Clervie since she also wears the same flower necklace motif Also as far as I remember from fremi character story he is brought to the house by his mother, even had a chance to meet the previous director. So it's not arle who found him so yeah

6:01 why is nobody noticing how at that scene arlecchino sees the sky of shnezniya, it’s because clervie promised to see the sky with her

This is probably one of the best and longest animated Short in the Genshin side that really gone SUPER NOVA🌌

Damn Bran you’re looking majestic in this video

lol the sudden face change when the medical stuff comes on screen

Even though hoyo loves to reference future plot in trailers and etc I don't think this is the case for this animated short literally everything here is arlecchino related and the details weren't that missable but to be fair I don't think anyone when reacting to this for the first time payed close attention to what was said during the fairytail at the beginning

Its not because of the curse which killed clervie, it was something that the mother instigated like a survival of the fittest so to say. Which was mentioned in the story telling in the beginning.

The second I saw the mother get kicked I thought nice hit! Then she soared through the glass and all I could think of was damnmmn😂

bro can't wait for the anime

Arle absolutely wrecking the shit out of her ‘mother’ while the chorus of children sing is a masterpiece.

Hoyo nailed the music!! Absolute masterpiece

no way bran is sleeping on arle character teaser

I'm so torn on who to pull for. I missed Leney last time and still want him, but father...

I'm more afraid of what's going to happen from here on out in Genshin Impact... But, I'm ready to go through it.

Or she's part Khaenri 'ahrian , and because of forbidden knowledge which cursed all the hybrid Khaenri 'ahrians turn into Hilicrul's. But Arleccino is either a quarter or 5% Khaenri 'ahrian which is why she still has her humanoid form except for her hands and other body parts.

Ngl that previous knave was so fine

Its the girl which died in the arlecchino vid snehznevna

6:11 NAHHH LOOK AT THE RED AND WHITE TEXT ON THE TOP💀💀💀

I'm still not used to Bran with hair

when arlecchino first attack mother, she looks like aqua from oshi no ko 😂

Man.. I just wish that we get an anime for genshin in the future

saw in a diff vid's comments, but i agree bc i did find that one shot weird. but that comment said that clervie was killed by her own mother bc 1. her mother's shown to have ice powers 2. when clervie falls down, the thing that stabbed her also fell with her since it's still stuck inside her 3. if u look at arle's hand, one is by her side, and one is holding a rapier, NEITHER is positioned in a way that could make stabbing clervie work 4. the thing stabbing her didnt rly look like a blade, there's some like angles to that thing, that commenter called it an icicle and i can see that 5. (and this was the bit that sold it to me after all those other reasons) Mother talked about pruning the lumi whatever flower bc it was wilting, clervie's necklace is of the same flower, and it's the same flower that arle saw and motivated and gave her the final kick (ehe) to kill Mother not sure why clervie was sayiing thank you and sorry (maybe we'll find out in the story quest), but personally, i wonder if it's bc they were the last two left andn arle couldnt fight her own bff so Mother made the "decision" for arle (she did call her own daughter kind and innocent, and thus useless). and that whole fight btwn them Mother was taunting arle about the fact that she killed her own daugther the entire time 😭 (also, gotta love how dottore keeps showing up as different cute but creepy looking dolls in people's memories 😂)

No one noticed the fox doctor at 0:18 ? He looks like dottore lmao

6:45 I just watched her character teaser and I think this is Snezhevna

R.I.P. Peruere's pet spider.

Our "Father" Has "Mommy" Issues Fr fr

The soundtrack is ❤❤❤❤❤

There is a small detail in the animation that makes me create a theory. At the end of the animation we see scaramouche alone and signora next to capitano I presume that arlechino is going to left the fatui after the 4.6 so her and scaramouche both left. And since signora has been turn in to ash during the inazuma story quests, I presume that a small detail to say "capitano is going to get killed during natlan story quest"

She killed tenth harbinger as a kid

OMG is the reason why her boss form is like a spider with the string she is jumping with a tribute to her dead spider pet?

Arleccino, might be I guess part Hilicrul cuz she has an ancient curse which is the forbidden knowledge but she might have been from being of mixed blood, Some Hilicruls still retain their human sentience it was actually rare for them have a relationship with a human. Because we already know that the Forbidden Knowledge can be passed on to the blood like the formerleader of the Abyssal order (Alibear)son turn into Hilicruls if they're a mix blood meaning they're hybrids.Alibear turned into something else getting the power from the Abyssal God turning into something more powerful I'm probably going to assume it's the Abyssal Lord or more powerful version???? My theory is that she was, I'm going to assume father was sentient Hilicrul that befriended a female human and had children and because it's pretty much not allowed I'm just going to assume her parents were probably killed because of their Forbidden Love but I'm mostly guessing. I also know another theory where she's an experiment of the doctor's experimenting with the Hilicrul's DNA to probably create an army fatui soldiers that can understand basic commands but it didn't exactly work out. And this mostly just speculation and theories.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🥸🥸🥸🥸

pretty sure she offed herself the shot right before is kind of a common way to depict that in anime and manga without fully showing it, and we dont see her hands so she is likely holding the sword hilt.

Idk how but bro didn't notice anything 😮

for anyone who missed it, Peruere conjures a scyph at 5:28

So... I guess we'll learn about it in the game but, where are her power from, as an adult I think she has a Pyro Vision but that's not on the animation, so she manifested her powers from her curse and the vision only keeps it controlled? as I said, I'll wait for her to become playable and maybe get her, to learn about it but still... it's a doubt

Bran how do you upload these so fast

Momochi Zabuza is Arleccino's senpai

i dont think it was because of the curse, cleverie had somehow arleccinos curse in control you can see that it didnt progress till the point where she had to kill her friend because of the houses rules of battle. Also cleverie had a lumidouce necklace conneting her with the wilting lumidouce at the end

0:39 That dark part in her hand grow bigger?

The trailer said Arlecchino is searching for someone and that Freminent hid this person away. Could it be Clervie or someone related to her judging from the promotional poster for 4.6???

I don't think that's Fremeni. Fremeni has blue eyes. But in Kanve's drip marketing two other hearth member were mentioned.. Maybe it one of them?

I can't believe that nobody is questioning that scara is still in the knave memorys after the Irminsul incident 💀

Gigguk has taught me a lot I knew from the start that the pink haired girl was dying

King would be the Traveler at this point.

I stopped caring about arlecchino after watching this and started wondering again. WHEN ANIME!

Hey Bran u look fit today. Are u on diet? Anyway hoping to get the knave

Kid is just random kid to show how Arlecchino got called ‘Father’ instead of ‘Mother’ (just my thoughts)

Arlecchino didn’t even have a vision in this short. Is it a mistake? Or does her powers mostly come from her curse?

I know they don't look exactly alike, but the Mother looks like Jade from HSR

You gotta ask, why did hoyo choose scara, rosalyn, and capitano only for her introduction to the harbingers. Are they foreshadowing Capitano's death?
