Mavuika checks all the boxes to be the archon she has special sun-shaped eyes just like Zhongli has diamonds, Nahida has flowers and Furina has drops She also has different colored streaks at the tips of her hair she doesn't have a vision the teaser basically shows 360° of her model and she was talking to the primal fire

I'm so excited to see and experience what they've cooked up for Natlan and how much emotional pain we're in for

The six flames bear the symbols of each tribe, which were already shown in the first natlan teaser with the first three saurians. However, the tribe symbols are slightly different from the saurian symbols, but still share the key shape.

There are 2 potentially 3 character I'm saving for, Capitano and the Pyro Archon, I'm going to also save for the Himeko look alike even if she isn't the archon

"Never Lets You go"

Random stuff about the VAs I just found out 1:07 These two (Kinich and Ajaw) are voiced by Sasuke and Naruto's VAs in JP lmao While Citlali 1:13 has the same voice as March 7th in English

Genshin Final Lesson Incoming yehey 💅✨🤩

Now that's how you build up hype. And I like how everyone looks exactly how a Mayan or Aztec civilization is supposed to look🔥

IN THIS UNIVERSE WE NEVER LET YOU GO HIMEKO

Again can't explain how excited I am to see you play this. I just can't add Genshin to my gacha list and so to experience the story through you is the best. You have a lot of great insights and thought 😊

She's not exactly Himeko but at the same time she is because the expies in Genshin are never exact copies of the Honkai characters but her predecessor was called Murata so for me that's enough, welcome back Himeko

Natlan looks amazing, oh my god. I'm so excited for the probable absolute rollercoaster Hoyo has in store for us! The fire ring I think are the symbols of the tribes of Natlan. Also seeing how this chapter in the Prelude trailer is called Ode to Resurrection, perhaps she's planning to resurrect the actual Pyro Archon, cause I'm not 100% sure she even is the Archon and I think the Archon is supposed to be Murata? Unless that's her real name like how Venti is Barbatos and so on. Or maybe she's trying to resurrect the Pyro Sovereign?

"So... that's Himeko, right?" - "Not entirely sure, but... maybe? Hopefully?!" - *Archon proceeds to die during the archon quest* - "Yeah, it's Himeko."

I watched the trailer and didn't even notice the red hair girl looked like Himeko till I saw the thumbnail of this video lmao

Excelent reaction

I never expected to like every single character design, holy crap

YES. YES. ALL OF MY YES

I am waiting for Columbina. The feathers in her hair remind me of Aztec gods designs

I Somehow I Have More And Less Hope At The Same Time

1:39 she's look so good ☺️

Mavuika can be a Murata decendant (like Vanessa) but Genshin Himeko is probobly already dead. Or all of the Murata died (hence lore about remnants of them leaving and traveling or being taking as slaves) and Mavuika is the First Pyro Archon. Or both as its GI. Whats interesting Mavuika is a Dark Garuda and Pheonix (like Fu Hua) so she potentially Reincarnated already to this state.

I think the ball was just more of like an Olympic Torch.

This was so cool I can’t wait for natlan ❤

They’re really loving their crossovers aren’t they

So excited for natlan

They released a trailer for the ten stone hearts btw hope you can react to it

Despite what people are saying, Mavuika, the Pyro Archon, is designed after Himeko. The “angry” character is voiced by Skyler Davenport, aka March

btw they called the archon Murata but the way she looks is a bit more like Shakespeare from Honkai Impact 3rd

With her tight bodysuit, big wavy hair and those fancy glasses, Mavuika (pyro archon) gives me big Beyoncé vibes. If Navia can be Genshin's T Swift then Mavuika can be Genshin's Queen B.

For the longest time a i had a theory that the pyro archon would be an antagonist. Well, looks like that's not happening lmao

Tranquilos con el tono de piel, no es para tanto XD

It doesnt matter if she archon, but it matters we are getting Himeko. Only tsaritsa Bronya remaining

Looking through the comments on this video, it seems your viewers are more perceptive than a lot of other Genshin CC's audiences, because most of what I want to say is mentioned in some way already.. Still, I'd like to add my own big theory into the mix here, starting with the big question people ask during the video - "Who is she (the archon, Mavuika) talking to, is it us?" I think she's speaking directly to Xbalanque, aka the Pyro Dragon Sovereign. In fact, I believe I've got the main plot of Natlan actually figured out, tbh. Here goes.. Mavuika says, in short, "What we see ought to be our fate, but for now close your eyes and feel.. for with our blood we will forge our fate" while she's shown facing six flames, each flame with the symbol of one of the Tribes of Natlan in them. The significance of what she says about "blood" and "fate" is related to the ball that they pass around in the trailer; as in ancient Aztec culture they would hold *ritual warfare* in the form of a sport similar to modern basketball, and the losing tribe's team would be executed and their blood sacrificed to the deities.. Now keep in mind that in the Tevat Chapter Storyline trailer, Natlan's chapter is called "Incandescent Ode of Resurrection"; Incandescent meaning 'Bright Flames/Heat' & Ode meaning 'the story of'. Also, in Neuvellette's description of Xbalanque they are referred to as "One Entombed With the Primal (Primordial) Fire" and in that same dark room where the six Tribe flames are there is a *single, huge flame* with six different symbols circling it, which if you look closely are the symbols of the six Vishap/Dragon breeds in Natlan! Now I won't go deep into the real world lore of Xbalanque but the tldr is that they are a hero from Mayan myth who helped defeat the Gods of the Underworld.. see where I'm going yet? I think Mavuika is holding the Tournament as a Wargame centered around the ball sport in order to gather the blood (or whatever similar sacrifice medium is needed) of strong warriors and use it to bring Xbalanque fully back to life. I believe that the Fatui have knowledge of ways to revive the dead to some degree based on what we've seen, so they send Capitano as he is their strongest and thus can contribute the most to the sacrifice method as he's so good at combat, and also as a show of good faith to ensure Mavuika hands over the Gnosis after the Sovereign is resurrected. As to why the Archon wants to revive the Sovereign though I can't say, especially since we know NOTHING about her or her past that we could use to gauge her motives, sadly

At first glance i'm a bit disappointed, because everything we knew so far about Natlan was "The Nation of WAR" and my thoughts where like they were in some kind of conflict with Snezhnaya or generally with the other nations but now we get only that once a year they are doing some kind of Mortal Kombat.... and we don't know if this tournament is even a fighting tournament. The only thing that got me hyped was the end when Mavuika talked to that pyro ring spirit. Is that spirit the previous archon maybe and that tournament serves to collect energy (sparks) from the contestants to revive him? I'm not really sure if Mavuika even is the pyro Archon right now or she just took the place until the real one revives, because if you compare the clothes from other archons, they somehow match the clothing from the nation but her clothes are like she came from the future. So maybe is this the first time we will encounter a cross-over character in genshin? Is she Himeko trying to fulfill some kind of mission? We know lorewise that there were 2 pyro archons thats why i'm thinking the revive theory could be a thing.

I wonder if those symbols are linked to the archons or the sovereigns.

Can someone tell me who this Himeko is? I know a Himeko from another gaming franchise, so I know it's not her. I can only guess the Pyro Archon (I am assuming it's her) is reminding people of another Hoyo char?

Ya already got toxic weirdos comparing to WW saying her model is lazy

i hope they give her a weird drink personality, himeko from HI3 is heavy drinker, Himeko from HSR is bitter black coffee lover, i want to know what her is, or they could give her the opposite and make her do not like drinking weird stuff like raiden shogun who cannot cook yet other variant of Raiden is always known for being a good cook

i love the archon's (?) design, but not really feeling any of the other characters designwise hopefully they get a chance to grow on us also the pink girl has a cryo vision and shares VAs with March lol

I suggest checking the genshin official social media accounts, since they already gave the names and vas for the characters in this teaser. Don't understand why they chose to act like they're trying to hide the last guy, given that they revealed who he is right after on socmed.

Design wise she reminds me of Caterina from Star Rail, am i the only one?

The real question we have to ask is how does war happen like a "undying flame" as Neuv describes it. In real life it doesn't work like that as populations resources are expended. My guess is the light-hearted seeming tourney is designed with real consequences that allows the flame to burn forever.

The War We Imagined: Gaza The War We Got: Olympics

If that person with the sunglasses is the Pyro Archon wow I kinda prefer the other vibe we were getting from like one or two rumors/leaks (and I see how that sort of design fits into the role being presented in this teaser) but this official one looks really cool too it's totally giving off a certain different vibe as well I'm not exactly sure how to say but maybe like some sorta biker person? or a supermodel? also having sun eyes but sunglasses is kinda so funny

I'm so confused why are people saying himeko everywhere I go???

I’m so glad I skipped Arlecchino I’m so going to get the Pyro Archon!!! I wonder if she would play well with Emilie for burning reactions 🤔 I hope so cos I’m also pulling for Emilie.

I'm really disappointed in Natlan and the continued disrespect shown to the cultures that Hoyo claims to be respecting and pulling from. If you're going to use names and fashion and mythology pulled directly from real life cultures, then not making any of those characters actually represent the PEOPLE who created it is nasty and just using them for profit. It's clear the writers care for the cultures they pull from, there's often so much detail in the lore and i love reading up on the influences they used. But whoever is in charge of character design is straight-up colorist. The fact we've only seen enemies with dark skin and black hairstyles is awful. The fact they named a guy after a Yoruba god and he's pale af is awful. The fact the Archon is named after a Maori fire god but looks nothing like she's from that culture is awful. What's disappointing is the opportunity for diversity and variety in the designs, but we keep getting more of the same. Based on all the naming and influences for every Natlan character none of them should be so pale. They've got african names, south and central american names, and the names of pacific islanders. It's not acceptable in 2024. And not when other gacha games coming out of China like Dislyte can do POC characters. Super disappointed and even if it makes no difference, i can't pull for the cast. Hoyo needs to know they can't keep whitewashing culture if they want to use it to make money.

shame they are finally adding in a himeko face now after so long, unfortunately it wont get me to return to the game with the state its in o7

Idk, they all looks so not-Genshin-stile. If you told me what Archon just some racer from HSR I would trust. Let's be honest, Genshin setting sucks. It is too limited by the framework of the Middle Ages, while ZZZ and HSR can push anything and it will look organic. Boy with pixelated 2D monster and tight modern suit on the archon only shows that they are worn out. Remember Final Feast and look at this... The characters shown, the atmosphere of mystery, while here we have a hodgepodge of colors and a filler tournament arch.
