This quest was awesome, man Xiao almost pulled off a MC sacrifice like in animes, I almost cried, but thank god he lived thanks to my main Zhongli. This gets a 10/10 for me, and it’s great to relive it with you Kage!

Sorry for the wait ninjas

honestly ushi CARRIED this quest with his insane dancing skills

I don't know if Kage already played the small world quest where we can talk to Zhongli after he saves Xiao it's just so funny because Zhongli played dumb and pretend that he knows nothing when he obviously sucks at hiding it to us because he knew that we already know the truth 😂

Sometimes being quiet during a cutscene like this says more than actually commenting

Liyue in danger:this wine is amazing Xiao in danger:HOLD MY WINE

Man, Indarius and Xiao's screams legitimately made me cry. Last time we saw those scenes, we didn't get voices, but this time, it was so raw. I had to go back and rewatch the cutscene because I missed the good parts because it just shook me to my core. Yeah, it's fiction, but those were the last memories he likely had of his family. Mihoyo/Hoyoverse once again flexing their ability to instill emotional pain.

So glad to finally see kage play this archon quest I felt so many different emotions when playing this one

22:15 -keep in mind that yae miko is not just a shrine maiden she's also an author and a boss of a book writing company no matter how much you look at it she's also bored at it...

Xiao: You knew I was waiting for you? Kage: You love me. Xiao: Really? Kage: Yes. Was my thought during this part. I loved this quest! Having goofball Itto in it was great and seeing Xiao's character development was great too. If he died I would have been devastated since he is my favorite character, but since his sacrifice was written so well, I would have accepted it as part of Xiao's character. Since he is a protector and his focus was protecting and getting them out safely. If it was a poorly written sacrifice I would riot, but fortunately our favorite retired GeoDaddy saved him and spared me the heartache of losing Xiao.

I was crying when Xiao tried to end himself, but then i cried even more when Zhongli saved Xiao again.

I loved the look on Yelan's face as she reaches for Xaio, knowing full well what he's planning to do and not wanting him to do it.

That one puzzle is enough to give my brain a short period timeout wtf mihoyo why is there such a difficulty spike in this quest

I guess here's a theory? There's five Yakshas, and each have a vision. Anemo, Pyro, Hydro, Geo and Electro visions. So just and Kage said, this is like history repeating itself. Anemo = Xiao, Pyro = Yanfei, Hydro = Yelan, Geo = Itto and Electro = Kuki, and i guess Boyang(a traverler) and his brother = Lumine and Aether. But idk how to explain that one because Lumine didn't loss her sanity like Yelan's ancestor(the one who came back = Lumine getting out of the chasm) and Aether weren't even there(Or is he?). Maybe it's referring to Lumine becoming a "lost soul" inside Teyvat and Aether losing his mind in the Abyss instead? We don't know why the ancestor who came back lost his mind though (hopefully just not yet)

"yaksha family looks so wholesome dont take it away" that was destroyed a long time ago

I love the Persona 5 music, suits too well with Itto's voice (he's Ryuji from Persona 5) love that

I realized how much bigger the story is than it just revolving around the MC.

I normally never cry during quests but that ending part with Xiao made me shed more tears than I'm willing to admit Also, Kuki is now on my "best girl" list thanks to this quest 😂

this quest made me shed so many tears man. Can we thank Dad for saving Xiao real quick? He truly is the real one

Not Xiao always making me cry and Itto always making me smile. Please, why are these boys so pure?

bro i swear it doesn't matter how many times i watch the part xiao tries the sacrifices himself, i legit cry. every single time. he's so pure man i love him

I was so uninterested in yelan when she was announced bc i thought she would be that one-dimensional "sadist" type of character but seeing her actually being very caring for the group (esp itto after their conflict), yanfei explaining her past and feelings on sacrifice and her reaching out for xiao made me do a full 180 and now i love her and i do not at all feel bad about accidently pulling her

If there's one lesson to be had from this quest it's always tell someone where your going

I absolutley loved the dynamic between Itto and Shinobu in this quest, I hope around 100 wishes will be enough to bring her home once her banner drops. Also, that scene with all the yakshas. Damn, why show us such gorgeus characters Hoyo and not let them be playable?

The last part of the quest did a light tap to my emotions then backhanded my emotions as hard as they could with that yaksha family cutscene

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING THE STORY AND ACTUALLY SHOWING IT- weird thing to say but hear me out. ive been very busy with school related things and havent had the time to finish exploring the chasm, it was to the point where when i saw xiao in the story i cried because i LOVE xiao lore and hearing his voice, hearing xiao AND my favorite genshin Si- i mean youtuber is a blessing from the archons-

The part that gets me every time i see this is how sad it is that the first thing you remember about your family is them killing each other in madness, it makes me well up every time

Definitely the best Archon Quest by far.

24:39 also on that part where Paimon is sleeping... if you open the menu bar paimon will not appear at your screen like she usually does, I nice detail of hoyoverse right there

Kage reaction to dad saving Xiao is serotonin

It took me so long to realize that Kuki have serpent's eye pupils🥲 but its nice to see Kage play the archon quest

Bro the shivers and feels I got during this quest makes me question myself omg- it was so GOOD.

21:27 - let's face it, Paimon's biggest fear is an empty stomach.

The way Xiao lists the English names gave me a stroke, because all other yaksha had four different sets of names except for Xiao making it super trippy to determine which name had what purpose in context with the Chinese version. And it weirdly all feels like a translation error but what do i know- Anyways I think with the help of the wiki and a good headache I figured out a comprehensive-ish list for the five yakshas personal names and titles that made sense to me at least lol Chinese version Title (translation) - Name - English version Title - corresponding element Jinpeng ("golden peng") - Xiao - Alatus - anemo Tengshe ("soaring snake") - Fushe - Bosacius - electro Huo shu ("fire rat") - Yingda - Indarias - pyro Luo juan ("coiling snail") - Fanan - Bonanus - hydro Xinyuan ("mind-monkey") - Minu - Menogias - geo I hope everyone has a nice day :)

Bro I am so sad I got spoiled on Zhongli saving Xiao. I really like taking things slow, but this quest has made me decide to pass the archon quests as soon as the update gets posted from here on out. Anyways, loved your commentary and reaction as usual!

I would just like to say I thought I was over this quest and all the sadness it brought, but no still hit me like a truck. Truck-kun your job is to isekai people not hit me with the feels... ༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽

the amount of jeikage energy is overpowering

After the quest I went to get an incense at Pervases’s temple for Bosacius and the other yakshas. This quest had me

Zyox flinging his eyes open when kage calls xiao little guy 😂

It's a good day when Jeikage posts.

14:41 you do realize that Lumine/Aether can hold a fuck ton of meals and ingredients + characters have weapons (and other random stuff they hold to themselves) hidden in hammerspace right? lol

the ending never fails to make me tear up

Ahhh I love character developments....Xiao is now one of my many favourite characters

It’s always so good whenever Kage uploads!

I was actually going to cry if Xiao was left there geo father beloved saved him yaaaay

no matter how many times i watch xiao's cutscene, it still gives me goosebumps and makes me painfully emotional asdfghjkl

When Kuki poked Itto, I laughed so hard! I just kept thinking "She touched the butt..."

OMG I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO

I have seen the yaksha cut scene like 5 times and it makes me cry every time, I can't

It's so odd how like watching the cutscenes again makes it hit so much harder

Ugh and right after finishing this storyline I managed to pull Xiao, talk about an emotional rollercoaster.

will always remember this quest

Xiao really was lifting compass up white keeping the portal open and fighting off ghosts. *claps in Leonardo Dicaprio*

Y'all don't know how much I cried during this event, I literally sobbed fucking tears

I think everyone's confusion with Paimon seeming racist to Itto stems from bad translations in culture. Itto is an Oni, which is a form of yokai and is synonymous with all forms of ghosts and demons; the japanese kind of lumping him in there with spiritual entities like ghosts despite his physical presence. In fact, "Oni" literally uses the kanji that translates to "ghost" in chinese; which is why there are jokes like "Wow, an exorcist is friends with an oni(a ghost)?" or "You're an oni(ghost), how can you be afraid of ghosts?" It kind of makes more sense when you know. Paimon still rude flying rations tho.

It's always daijabu with the Harem Waifu kage

I enjoyed it, thank you!

The persona music is perfect on the itto scene

dude i cried at that scene!!!

Dang I got chills while watching all those cutscenes

I think they gave Xiao nice character development not only did we see why he is the way he is, but we saw how he views the world and talk to people change as well. Also I have to say the whole gang really balanced each other out. I’m glad Itto was there for comic relief, Yanfei we got to know a little more about her so I was very pleased. Especially how Yelan tried reaching out to Xiao before his sacrifice it was all done very well. Tbh any patch after this has big shoes to fill

15:16 Lmfao I love the "H O W' with the zoom in.

Cant play this quest since i have too many missions on rn but watching this made me cry and zhongli is best dad and dad of the year award goea to him

Always look forward to your reaction vids. Cant wait to pull for kuki.

That was the best quest ever since "We will be reunited'!

FINALLY!!! I WAS RLLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS. MY GRANDMA IS FINALLY OUT OF HER CAGE

11:52 I wasn’t expecting an Inazuma Eleven gif ngl

hoyo just keeps on getting better and better with these archon quests man

20:45 When I got to this point in the quest I straight up went "Women, I AM A DEMIGOD. YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HURT ME IF YOU TRIED."

Player: Paimon Lore?! Hoyovers: Nope, no lore here. Player: ...... 🙁😠

OMG this was awesome, Kuki best girl, Itto best comic relif, Yelan best MILF and Yaksas best genshin team we are never going to be able to play. I love this quest so much.

Best archon quest by far imo

i love the rabbit eared avatar ❤ so cute

Why is it that every anemo character have had a friend with an electro visions that died or is going to die soon

LOVVE YOUU KAGEEE ❤

Anthor great video again!

That plot hole clip and Itto ``images`` bust me in laugh , Kuki is a cuutie , cant wait to pair her up whit Lisa

This one is golden: I gonna give Itto the N-word pass. Man I was laughing too hard I had to pause the video to prevent suffocation

Ayo hearing the P5 BGM with Itto there just reminds me of ryuji like lk they share the same va but I just feel ryuji's presence when I hear the music & hear him at the same time

top 10 saddest moments in anime

Kira Buckland also voiced Lola in HuniePop. A very suggestive character.

Kinda wished Zhongli was with us in the Chasm also, like I also wished we could see a glimpse of his history, like Guizhong and all that

The ending broke me so much.........

This Yanfei slander is uncalled for, she's adorable and a beast in combat

the way this happened in sumeru and i had to do a 180 to figure out what the heck was happening

4:37 Jei skipped yelan's entrance. I understand why. budget animation

I’m here at work watching ur vid and seeing yelan like I wanna go home and level her up let me go home

Me playing this quest thru kage's eyes. more interesting this way. i can skip it at ease once i get to play it

Who here thought they were going to Kill Xiao before Daddy Zhongli came in and Said. "Not today, Boy."

new kage video lets gooooooo

Man, why does Liyue lore always make my tear up🥺

Hol up is that magilou's theme at the beginning? Mad respect

This quest made me triple crown my Xiao, no regrets

The water yaksha design was absolutely beautiful. I really wish they couldve been playable characters, such amazing character designs its a pity they most likely wont be playable, seems a waste tbh.

itto: im goin in whether she likes it or not XDDD well thats gonna generate new tags

Jei! My ninja is back again! Day is daijoubou out of 10

“yet another read not to face cam” well he ain’t lying but F for us ninjas

man this quest KILLED me, every character was super fun and entraining, and itto was a great comic relief (definitely not biased)

I didn't realize how excessively they mention that they're in Liyue until I heard it in English.

I can't wait to pull for Shinobu. I'll finally be able to take off all the HP on my Keqing lmao
