The life lesson we learnt from Wanderer is simple: Accept your emotions.

Let’s not forget that Dottore also experiments on Scaramouche for years and years because as a puppet he can withstand more pain and destruction than a normal human. Breaking him again and again so bad that being send to the Abyss is actually a respite. Letting the Dottore do excruciatingly painful operations to him again so he could finally get his “heart” and turn into a god takes some determination. No wonder his voiceline if getting hit bad is “I’m used to this.”

In my opinion, the story of Inazuma is just one gigantic tragedy. A series of unfortunate events and misunderstandings that blended together into a perfect storm (Pun intended). And at the eye of this storm of tragedy are Ei and Scara, two individuals whose inability to cope with grief and loss would have lasting ramifications on the whole of Inazuma. The death of her beloved sister and the trauma from the Archon War drove Ei to literally cut herself off from the world, leaving Inazuma in the hands of a puppet who would be manipulated by corrupt officials, leading to a civil war that resulted in the loss of countless lives. Meanwhile Scara, the prototype puppet, would be deceived by Dotorre and driven mad by grief and betrayal, causing him to lash out at the world he felt wronged him and leading to the downfall of five famed blacksmith families and who would later join the Fatui and return to Inazuma to facilitate said civil war. Yae handled the whole situation better than the other two and did the best she could given the circumstances. Sadly, it was a tragic case of "too little, too late". So yeah, this was a tragedy all around. Could things have been handled differently, handled better? Maybe. But it is what it is.

Inazuma is truly the place of traumas and calamity

A little Easter egg I’d like to add, in his demo, the fatui have no recollection of Wanderer. This was before the quest so I wondered why they didn’t recognise him, now it makes sense.

I see so many people still misunderstand his and Ei's story, so thanks for this! It's very well done!

Perfection! I would only have added that he gave himself the name of Kunikuzushi around the time he decided to take revenge on Inazuma, since a lot of people still thinks it was Ei who gave him that name. There's no reference to a name initially assigned to him, the same way the little boy who died didn't have a name also. I hope him and Kazuha meet soon :)

Stopped playing Genshin a while ago but the lore is still as interesting as ever…man Scaramouche has to be one of my fav characters ever. While his story wasn’t perfect, it has to be one of the greatest character developments in Genshin. Glad to see you back mate :D

CatWithBlueHat If you think about it They made Scaramouche blue design He has a Hat AND Hoyoverse Turned him into a Cat during the Nahida story Telling Wanderer is a Cat With Blue Hat 😆

I love how you arrange the story in a chronological order so it can be understood more clearly

Its good to talk to those 2 fatui's in mondstat near the waypoint everytime u finished the archon quest. Their dialogue always change every time u finished the archon quest they gave a little easter egg in the story.

Wanderer's story is one of the stories that I admire the most... but it was too complicated for me to follow in the game. Thank you for making this video since now I understand my dearest, new main, Wanderer's backstory!

Thank you very much for this video! The truth is that I still had doubts about Wanderer's backstory but now you have clarified everything for me. Thank you! (Poor Childe, who is still in Inazuma lmao)

thank you for this! this helped me understand the tragedy of the mikage furnace better poor wanderer, im glad he has finally worked on accepting what he has faced. definitely one of my new favorite characters ! i named him jiyuu :)

One thing that bothers me with how people see his character is that all of the shit he's done were because of "mommy issues" even though we've already met a version of himself where he was abandoned by Ei but never met the people of Tatarasuna or the child and he still turned out to be a decent, well rounded guy (save for the emptiness he felt since then). This means that the Tatarasuna incident and the child dying were just as, if not more painful than Ei abandoning him.

A small error at 8:44: The shame created by the fall of the Kamisato clan was over 100 years ago and not 400. As these are 2 different incidents.

By far the best written character 👏 I love his lore

Ngl Inazuma is the land of sadness. I mean just by its name, Land of Thunder, already sounds like a land with the most tragic backstories somehow

Poor Scaramouche ! He's not even human to understand his emotions !😭

Based on the entire summary, plus Genshin's sister/parent story Honkai, Scaramouche's story is a foil/parallel, combination of Yae Sakura (Previous and Current era), Fu Hua, and Raiden Mei (current era) life experiences. The erasure of his own existance using the Irminsul is akin to Fu Hua using Fenghua Down effects to burn away memories, difference is that Scaramouche's actions have a greater effect. The Tatarasuna incident, which involves corruption parallels the time Yae Sakura was caught in the Herrscher of Corruption awakening. Dottore being the mastermind of Tatrasuna incident parallels Raiden Mei's father being framed by Cocolia, resulting in both Scara and Mei's beginning of despair. Wanderer's vision awakening is a nod/parallel of Raiden Mei's complete awakening as the Herrscher of Thunder in chapter 17. Both awakenings involves puppet/automation bosses, connecting to their hidden/alternate selves, someone defending them before their awakening, ending with both Wanderer and Mei defeating the boss with their newly acquired powers.

Thanks, Now I finally understand the whole officers thing. Also looking back again on Scaramouche's back story is such good feeling after two years of theorizing. It just makes me sad that he felt these things and kept being playing around, but I'm glad that he is finally found himself after all of that pain.

end scene is so good lmao Tartaglia being the most tartaglicious side character ever in every single story he has been in (even his childhood with Skirk AHAHA) THANK YOU! once again Cat you're singlehandedly carrying the lore recap of Genshin, i've seen quite a lot of lore predictions channels recently but for recaps yours is always the best of ever

Wanderer is one of my favourite & best characters in game - so glad you made a video on his whole background story 🤗

7:19 Should also add that the kid's parents were workers in Tatarasuna who were implied to be killed by the nuc... Tatarigami radiation The kid might also be suffering from similar illness 7:30 In the end... despite him claiming to suffer from 3 betrayals, in truth there's only 1 betrayal and it's none of the 3: *Dottore*

Thanks for summarising the Scara story arc. He became one of the tragic characters in the genshin after learning his past and all his actions . There was a lot of info when I do the arc and somehow lost and confused due to my lack of English understanding. Thank you again cat and will wait for more your lore content in future.

Saying Ei set Scara “free to find his own path” is a really biased rainbow way of saying she threw his clueless ass out the door and left him to fend for himself emotionally. Mother of the year.

excellent video as always! i'd like to add that kaedehara yoshinori's letter also slightly changed after the archon quest. now he mentioned that instead of kunikuzushi, the raiden gokaden incident happened because someone with great fighting skill claimed that the ancestors of those bladesmith were responsible for his clan's downfall, and in the end he was killed by remaining samurais while kaedehara and kamisato suffered from injuries. in the end their fate remained the same - kaedehara yoshinori stopped practicing isshin art for the safety of their family, and he and kamisato both agreed to not telling the truth about the incident causing the downfall of both clans.

Ooh thank you so much now I understand fully Scara's lore, it so heartbreaking 😭

Ashikai and catwithbluehat coordinating videos now! Same time release haha Awesomeee

This quest gave us big informations about the travelers: • Even with access to the Irminsul, normal people can't make changes in the past in large scale, only little changes in some events, that don't affect the timeline flow • Knowing this, we also know that was someone really powerful who put the "abyss twin" in the Irminsul's informations, making it part of Teyvat

My man comeback with a really great topic

greatest genshin content creator of all time

One thing that leaves me questioned is how the erasing memories work. If the memories of oneself were erased , shouldn't it be that all living beings simply don't remember anything about him without changing the already happened past , but instead the already written manuscripts and records about that particular incidents happened a long time ago were changing too. As if the removal of one's existence actually changes the history and timeline of the world even though the events already happened. Seems like more of changing the timeline rather than simply erasing one's memory. However what makes it weirder is the result of the past events were still the same regardless ( death people still died in the same situation , the broken vase incident). Guess that mysterious voice intended to hint us some unknown concept that we didn't know yet

Back with this kind of content>< , thank you so much

分かりやすいまとめありがとうございます！！ 桂木と丹波とスカラマシュ（国崩）が博士に騙されてたのを知ったときは驚いたな…

Someone said that pierro sent scaramouche to investigate the meteorite is to determine if it is the descenders or not, maybe thats when they know traveler is the descenders

Your videos are so good, thank you for taking the time to collect all that information for us. You're the best!!!

You just cleared everything up!! Thank you!! And also have a happy new year!!

Ah the master has returned 💙 missed you!

lmfao, i imagined how Childe is wandering in Inazuma and then boom, he forgot what's he doing there after Scaramouche erases his existence

9:43 And then he hung out with some Inazuman children and dated Yoimiya 🤣 9:50 It's most likely that Dottore - being the person closest to Scaramouche in the Fatui - had already been in cahoots with him from the beginning, and with the doctor knowing the situation in Sumeru, he sees it as a chance to perform his experiment of god creation with Scaramouche and the Gnosis

Woooahhhhh!!! All hail Cat! We missed you!

The Genshin Impact History Teacher is Back , Happy New Year , I totally missed your videos.

wahh finally!! been missing you, so welcome back🥺thank you for the lore content too (esp about wanderer)!

Yay Lore is back

You're so good at retelling stories.. We should just call you Iron Tongue Tian at this point!!

Im glad you back

12:03 I'd like to note that his personality has also become kinder and more gentle, if somewhat vacant and curious about his surroundings It's likely a hint to his original personality as Kabukimono But interestingly, he has the same "must pay back/interest-based relations" mentality that "Scaramouche" had, just expressed in a better way - and even then that merchant he worked for finds this mannerism weird

U explained the lore so much thank you

It's been a long time since you uploaded lore content

Happy New Year, dear Cat

heyy, welcome back :) i missed your videos so much

It is more sad if you have Wanderer and read his character story. Dottore is one of the people who raise Kabukimono un the past. After Jester found him, Dottore warmly welcome him and everytime he get broken Dottore the one who tend to him. That must be why Scara accept Dottore help in Sumeru too, he trusted him the most

Nice work friend your video is very good

Great explanation

Thank you so much for this video. Wanderer is the only character that made me stay and I lowkey waited for him to become playable. Thankfully, the wait was worth it. Also, this video really helps other players. So many players were misinterpreting him, especially during the recent story quest. Honestly and respectfully, he isn't redeemed. I've read many players claiming that Hyv forced the redemption arc on him so he can be playable. Once again I repeat, honestly and respectfully, he is not redeemed at least NOT YET. The archon quest says it's an interlude. From that, we were given a hint that it is the start of his journey of atoning for his sins. Trying to fix what he can fix. Basically, Wanderer was given to us so we can witness his road to redeeming himself. Everything about the quest relates to him so much even his decision to erase himself. Remember, Scaramouch was not in a stable mind. I mean, he wasn't at all then suddenly, he was given this load of information about the truth of Tatarasuna; even I will go crazy. So I wasn't surprised when he decided and acted upon it. Only to realize in the end that nobody can change the past. He learns his lessons the fucking hard way again. Personally, I am excited to once again anticipate his next exposure. I bet it's gonna be the same routine as before. Getting excited the moment I see even a tiny part of his hat hahaha. Right now, I'm just happy that we have one less enemy. He claims that he will help us behind the scenes so it's not the end of his story yet.

Seeing your video and Ashokai's video both posted an hour ago made me think you guys collabed or something XD Just a coincidence then lol

I want his FATUI outfit to be playable. Period

I want scaramouche to encounter kazuha👀

I love your content

2:06 The 2nd in command was Vice Armory Officer Miyazaki, Nagamasa as Inspector is lower than that Just that Miyazaki was also gone missing after the incident, leaving Nagamasa with the responsibility

damm this story now complete is so deep!!!!

Oh my, what a story

"All of this could've been avoided if Ei leave a note for when he wake up..." Leaving a note would have not really matter Let her loose change much And Besides As soon as he woke up he was Immediately found by Katsuragi and take to tatarsuna Afterwards And if we were was Living very very happy life there up until A certain shape shifting doctor came in and Ruin all of that

Another detail: The Kabukimono left the Feather with Yae When Yae's helped arrived, and she realized that it was all too late, she returned the Feather to the Kabukimono Yae may be mischievous and a bit self-centered at times, but she isnt cruel.

7:50 I thought he only became a Harbinger (and thus get the name Scaramouche) after he finished several expeditions in the Abyss (and became part of Dottore's experiments)? 8:39 It's *100* years

Thank you, I never understood why Katsuragi had to die

All of this could've been avoided if Ei leave a note for when he wake up...

He sounds like quite the bohemian.

yeah boi back to the loreeee

It does make me wonder how Mona, Fishl, and Hanniya would react to him now, and how he would respond

Can you make a video of how powerful is wanderer now? I have heard many saying that he is powerful than ever but also heard saying that he is not even powerful than childe. So i'd like to hear ur explanation or theory

13:14 Childe realizing he hasn't done any work in Inazuma for a long time while being drunk and having his mind go "Space Cat"

I'm waiting for your another channel to upload contents

I wish he can travel with them onto Fontaine.

Nice

Will you post 3.3 most used characters in abyss?

I like how the wanderer become the super hero thingy where he will come to help whenever dangers comes I also got a theory in 3.5 there will be huge event cuz we have archon quest part 2 and there will be nahida traveler and wanderer team up to fight the bosses crisis

Inazuma is like gotham but without the clown

Wait.. so Dottore is nearly 500 years old too then. This leads me to wonder how he seems so young when we meet him. Perhaps one of his younger selves murdered the original so they could take his place, I imagine it's the most selfish one.

3:45 Imagine introducing nuclear reactor to Edo-era Japan

Ashikai and Catwithblue hat uploaded the same titled video at the same time (2 hours ago as of this comment) What a coincidence 😂

Imagine if we will have brand new Fatui №6 instead of Scara in the future 😳

My poor baby😕😭🫶

hey catto, where've you been this entire time?

Now: Hat Guy of Vahumana

so what happened to the raiden gokaden and 5 kasen story after scara erased himself ?

dumb question: if Ei discarded her body and created the puppet Shogun... where is her real body now? I saw some people saying that her consciousness is in the sword so where is the body?

Ahhh I missed the part he erase himself from the Irminsul. I keep wondering when did he die, I remember Nahida save him so he didn't die yet. But then wanderer came and said that he is the reincarnation. So what happened to Scaramouche. Now I understand

Omfg that's was why he was called Wanderer. Gahdamn.

I managed to get him in my first ten pull.

Looking back you know how interesting the conversation between scaramouche and yae would have been? Another reason im annoyed at inazuma

Do we have info on this new world's history, I mean if the vacant seat in the Fatui is there for a long time then hasn't there any new potential Fatui harbinger waiting, Also is the new history on what happened after Ei made wanderer, did he just wake up and ended up in sumeru traveling?

in gaa kazuha's event story showed the downfall of his family, do we know if scara was directly tied to that?

My Wanderer will be named: Come further down I said further down Almost there You really wanna see it? Here it is: Egg.

Let's goooooo

its kind of funny why the 6th position of the harbingers has always been vacant after scaramouche got erased. i mean, they could just adjust the ranking by promoting 7-11. or are they still calling themselves 11 fatui harbingers when they are only 10? or is it that one of the harbingers isnt affected by irminsul as well and decided to leave the seat vacant as a hint?

Yes

cant wait for future story where he will face dottore with traveller.

I really don’t get the Genshin fandom. He clearly doesn’t see Ei as a mom, and she didn’t see him as a son. And yet that’s all the community says and jokes about when his backstory is clearly more geared to being sad even before he was conscious and then being lost in an unknown world without even knowing why he was created and left. Doesn’t even see Raiden as a sister and was originally meant to be her body.
