Capitano actually used the lines of gigachads "HMMMPH"

Our glorious king Capitano just let out a cool grunt, refused to elaborate and just straight up left😭

Capitano said "hmph" and all of Natlan perished

You have no idea how insane it feels as a New Zealander to consider that out of all the fire deities in the world, Hoyo (presumably) decided to take inspiration from Māori culture for the pyro archon. I'm not Māori myself, but I grew up with the story of Māui taking the flaming fingernails of Mahuika and many more stories from Māori mythology. Its so uncommon for it to be referenced outside New Zealand so this will really mean the world to me if it turns out to be correct.

Fingers cross if capitano becomes playable they don't change a single thing from the man's drip. His design is perfect

Fontaine is the Court arc, now it's TOURNAMENT ARC!

Hey Arnold! When the trailer came out, I started researching the names given in the trailer on what they would reference, and it looks like its mostly Central American (Maya, Aztec), Native American, Yoruba (Africa), Inca & Polynesian. So There the references I found in a surface level research: It’s also important to note that a core theme in Aztec mythology is the recreation of the world. They believed that the world we are living in right now is not the first one, and there were 4 other ones before, each ending in great catastrophe (one included raining jaguars, which is cool) and the fifth current one will be burned to ashes. Mualani: Vision: Hydro Mualani was a Hawaiian High Chiefess who lived on the island of Oahu and was a Princess of Koʻolau. Princess Mualani was of Tahitian ancestry as a descendant of the wizard Maweke who came to Oahu from Tahiti. Kachina: Vision: Geo A kachina is a spirit being in the religious beliefs of the Pueblo people, Native American cultures located in the south-western part of the United States. The kachina concept has three different aspects: the supernatural being, the kachina dancers, and kachina dolls. Kachinas are spirits or personifications of things in the real world. A kachina can represent anything in the natural world or cosmos, from a revered ancestor to an element, a location, a quality, a natural phenomenon, or a concept; there may be kachinas for the sun, stars, thunderstorms, wind, corn, insects, as well as many other concepts. Kinich: Vision: Dendro Kinich Ahau is the 16th-century Yucatec name of the Maya sun god, designated as God G when referring to the codices. The element kʼinich, usually assumed to mean 'sun-eyed'. Kinich Ahau was the patron of one of the four years of the 52-year cycle (Landa). In the rituals introducing this year, war dances were executed. Compared to the deities connected to agricultural fertility, however, God G occurs rather infrequently, and is rarely part of narrative events. It may be noted that the Hero Twins, Hunahpu and Xbalanque, although stated to have changed into Sun and Moon, are never shown assimilated to God G. He has a brother named Chaak, the rain god. Ajaw Ajaw or Ahau ('Lord') is a pre-Columbian Maya political title attested from epigraphic inscriptions. It is also the name of the 20th day of the tzolkʼin, the Maya divinatory calendar. It was not limited to a single individual, with a meaning variously rendered as "leader", "ruler", "lord", "king", or "queen", depending on the individual. Citlali Vision: Cryo Citlālicue ("star garment"), was a creator goddess in Aztec mythology. She created the stars with her husband Citlalatonac, the Milky Way, Earth, death, and darkness. In Aztec mythology, stars were regarded as celestial beings with profound importance. The name Citlali was chosen to honor these celestial entities and bestow their divine essence upon individuals. Xilonen Vision: Geo In Aztec mythology, Chicōmecōātl (Chi-co-me-coatl) "Seven Serpent", was the Aztec goddess of agriculture. She is sometimes called "goddess of nourishment", a goddess of plenty and the female aspect of maize. She is regarded as the female counterpart of the maize god Centeōtl, their symbol being an ear of corn. She is occasionally called Xilonen, (meaning doll made of corn), who was married also to Tezcatlipoca (was a central deity in Aztec religion. He is associated with a variety of concepts, including the night sky, hurricanes, obsidian, and conflict.) Chicomecōātl's name, "Seven Serpent", is thought to be a reference to the duality of the deity. While she symbolizes the gathering of maize and agricultural prosperity, she also is thought to be harmful to the Aztecs, as she was thought to be of blame during years of poor harvest. Iansan Vision: Not seen Ọya (also known as Iansá) is an Orisha (Gods of the Yoruba tribe in Africa) of winds, lightning, and violent storms. In Yorùbá, the name Ọya is believed to derive from the phrase coined from "ọ ya" which means "she tore," referring to her association with powerful winds. She is often depicted as a buffalo in traditional poetry, and was believed to have the power to shape-shift into a buffalo. She is known as Ọya Ìyáńsàn-án, the "mother of nine", because of nine children she gave birth to with her third husband Oko. Oya was traditionally worshipped in only the areas of Yorubaland once under the control and influence Oyo empire. Because of the Atlantic slave trade, many of her followers of Oyo origin were kidnapped and sold to the new world, where her worship became widespread. Chasca Vision: Cryo She is interesting because there could be two origins 1: Ch'aska (Morning star; a.k.a. Ch'aska Quyllur) was the goddess of dawn, the twilight and dusk, as well as the goddess of beauty, virgin women and the flowers in Inca mythology. She was considered as the "Venus star" due to her luminosity equated to Venus, which is, after the Sun and the Moon, the brightest celestial object in the night sky. 2: Chasca, also known as "la virgen del agua" (The virgin of the water), is the name of a fictional character in Salvadoran folklore. According to oral tradition, in the barra de Santiago lived a man named Pachacutec, who arranged a marriage between his daughter, Chasca, and a prince of the zutuhil tribe. Chasca, however, was already in love with a young fisher named Acayatl. She would sneak away from her father to the beach where Acayatl would serenade her. One horrible day, someone shot an arrow at Acayatl while he returned from fishing. The assassin was sent by Pachacutec. Chasca saw the murder and decided to join her lover in death. She tied a rock around her waist and threw herself into the water. The following night of a full moon, the spirit of Chasca appeared for the first time in a white canoe next to Acayatl, from this time, she has continued to appear in this way. Whenever the fishermen notice a full moon, they do not go out to fish because they wish to respect and not disturb the virgin of the water and her lover, who in return for that respect, bless the fishermen with bountiful fish. Mavuika Most likely the Pyro Archon Mahuika is a Māori fire deity. Generally, Mahuika is female and wife of the god Auahitūroa (Māori deity of comets). In some versions, she is the younger sister of Hine-nui-te-pō, goddess of death. It was from her that Māui (in some versions he is her grandson) obtained the secret of making fire. In some parts of New Zealand, Mahuika is a male deity. Mahu-ika is the fire god who lives in the underworld in addition to being the grandfather of Maui. Maui wrestled him in order to win the secret of making fire. Ororon Vision: Unseen In the Chinese text he is called Olorun. Olorun is the ruler of (or in) the Heavens in the Yoruba religion. The Supreme Deity or Supreme Being in the Yoruba pantheon, Olorun is also called Olodumare. In Yoruba culture, Ọlọrun is credited with creating the universe and all living things. Ọlọrun is frequently perceived as a compassionate entity who protects its creations and is thought to be omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. Humans do not worship Olorun directly; there are no sacred areas of worship, no iconography, nor ordained person. There are no shrines or sacrifices dedicated directly to them, although followers can send prayers in their direction. and Capitano: He needs no introduction. But we see no delusion/vision. HYPE IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS!

Came here for my annual Capitano glazing, thanks Arnold, Anthony and Mint

Capitano: "Hmph..." Me: "I've seen enough, I'm satisified" * proceeds to faint from Hype *

Bro came in and "hmph" the God of War's challenge and then left. Truly Chaditano 🗿

Literally appears, release a mythical "Hmmph" then leaves while refusing to elaborate further. Trully the strongest

You don't understand how happy it makes me to see the architecture, clothing and music to closely resemble what I was expecting them to reference about Aztec culture. I can't wait for 5.0 anymore. Time to get a new PC so I can actually play in high quality, 'cause my phone is already having trouble at low graphics.

Capitano is so cool- no, too cool. He wears his winter jacket IN natlan

🤔 Third nation in a row talks about eyes and seeing. Sumeru, Nicole: You can only trust your own eyes. Fontaine, Lyney: Don't trust your eyes, it's easy to trick senses. Natlan, Mavuika: What we see is ought to be fate, now close your eyes and feel. Not to mention Visions being God Eyes.

I have finally found the youtuber who deeply cares about lore. I'm staying. Loved your radiant positivity and energy.

I just finished watching your 2 hour natlan lore video, and this video drops. Thank you so much

capitano GLAZING is starting

Literally the only reaction I was waiting to see after seeing this trailer lol

6:16 "You think I saw someone next to Capitano? You kidding me!?" is an all-timer playthrough moment. I was on the floor XD

Shoutout to Chasca's va, Lauren Amante, who is the voice of Verr Goldet, the boss of Wangshu Inn

Hear me out this is a big brain lore theory. This version of the pyro archon we see will die and be resurrected into her younger self. Natlan 2 major themes is resurrection and the "war" the war is mainly like a tournament possibly to the death for the gnosis. Let alone she is a phoenix and its wild how in the lava walker set lore there was a phoenix at that time by the mare javari. I would not be suprised if she was the final challenger for capitano for the gnosis and capitano completely destroys her, takes the gnosis but later on in the story she comes back from the ashes like a phoenix. We didn't see the pyro dragon and other characters cause they won't be revealed until later on majority if not all these characters gonna be 5.0-5.4. Edit: I just thought of maybe xbalanque being the one that gets resurrected too. Pyro archon dies but pyro dragon comes back and has their full authority back like nuvei. Orrrrrrr they both come back but pyro archon goes under a new name but pyro dragon basically comesback full powered. Hmmm a lot of ways this can go I could be completely wrong or onto something, I’ll come back in 5.3

You are the best Arnold. Everyone else rushed out 5-10 minute bare bones uploads while we got fed with 24 minutes of pure yapping from you 😇👏 I appreciate you.

HEAR ME OUT! They said that natlan was at war, but now Mavuika talks about COMPETITION and taking your POSITIONS the new gimmick of the region are MOUNTS Kachina DRIVED around the Natlan map during the first teaser every character so far has a MOVEMENT ability Mavuika looks like a BIKER Kinich looks like a MECHANIC with the outfit tied around his waist The enemies shown in the first teaser wear HELMETS and use TIRES and WRENCHES as weapons I PREDICT THAT THE MAIN THEME OF NATLAN WILL BE RACING COMPETITION and that the mout of Mavuika will be a MOTORBIKE!

Your reaction was the best of all, I really appreciate your knowledge of the lore, insight and analyse. Thank you

I created an acount here just so I could start leaving comments on your videos 😊 I discovered Genshin a bit late (started playing in 3.6) and the first new region hype I experienced was Fontaine. Now that I have discovered your channel, I can't wait to share the Natlan hype (and Capitano is here and doesn't even need words to wow us with his prestige x)) with everyone here! I can't tell you how much I love your content, it's everything I wanted and didn't think even existed. I am absolutely going to start watching and commenting on your whole yt let's play series, just so you know. I have heard so much about all the content I have missed before I started playing, and I can't wait to experience a bit of it with past you! Your take on things is always interesting, I love how invested and real you are, and as a lore enjoyer myself, you have become kind of my reference for any crumbs I stumble across during my genshin journey! Thank you so much for your content, I love what you do! Have a nice day (kind of needed to recover from that surprise teaser bombshell ;))

That little pixely thing (Ajaw) has me the most curious. What the hell is that? We've never seen anything like it.

I work, got notify of this teaser, me stop work. I go home, got notify of Arnold react to the teaser, me happy.

The fact that she asked if he was brave is a reference to his Italian counter part who lies that he is brave

i wonder if she uses these tournments to absorve energy for xbalanque/primal fire in the same way that focalors used the trials for the oratrice....

Capitano needs no words, he's already the coolest dude in Teyvat. Everything looks great fr, the designs, the music chefs kiss

4:52 The Natlan theme song main melody 🔥🔥🔥

2:00 its only me see or it's really Australia signature building at the background at the first glance, the opera building

LETS GOOOO OUR BOI CAPEAKTANO!!!! We all can agree that Arnold is capitano's #1 glazer!!!!!

goddammit arnold, you deserve more recognition from genshin community, compared to some other fake/half ass genshin content creator, i hope you will in the future it's sad and infuriating watching people do something and not fully invested in it, what a shame

Hats off to your Mods again for not letting anything be spoiled for you! Not even the thumbnail! 🎉

Iansan has a ball falling her, like bennett has rocks falling

THIS TEASER GOT ME HYPE ASF!!! CAPITANO GONNA POP OFF

So it seems the 'war' really is ceremonial. God I can't wait, Natlan's release lines up with my time off work too, just like Fontaine last year.

people will hate me for what i will become when Pantalone shows up lol so i do feel you enthusiasm regarding Capitano

Best lore researcher, now #1 Capitano glazer o7 Glad to see it ignites(pun intended) your excitement for Genshin

My first thought after watching the trailer: IS ARNOLD OKAY

“Held hostage in an ARAM game with a Malphite” is a very scary sentence

Arnold might just be the pyro sovereign dragon by how much he cooks 🔥🔥🔥🔥

so glad I caught you live last night before i went to bed! i'm super hype for the next area!!!

Capitano is HIM.

This gave me Revival of the Uluru Games from Reverse 1999 vibes and im so hyped!!

Funny enough the pink haired girl named Citlali is voiced by March 7th’s VA Skylar Davenport

Glad to see that you like Iansan, i thought im the only one lol. Good luck on the banners

my god do I L O V E your reactions!!! THEY FILL ME WITH SO MUCH GLEE!!!

OMFHG .. I'M CRYING.. ..WHAAAAAAA!!! *-- this was worth the wait.. this was worth the wait!! Welcome back.. welcome .. back!! Where are my fellow captains?! RISE UP!!.

this is the reaction content i've been waiting for

Capitano: hmph Me: *knees goes numb and falls for a masked man*

Capitano went to the Brother Hanu school of HMPPHHH

Seeing Arnold so happy abt Capitano makes me smile!

As soon as I finished watching the trailer, I was looking forward to see your reactions and hear your thoughts!! It's great to be hyped alongside others who feel the same. Pray that Capitano will both have a weekly boss and become playable 🙏🙏 Just 1 more patch of chilling before the storm comes aaaaaaa

Capitano was the highlight of this teaser

I was a capitano fan when he was first introduced, so happy.

Capitano with only a "Hmph" and the rest is a big hit

He came said "hmph" and left. Now that's a chad.

The chills that I got seeing the doors open and the transformation into a phoenix, and remembering the slides from the manga of Lady Vanessa ascending to Celestia. The children of Murata will rise again

I want the pyro archon's hair color so bad

YO THE THUMBNAIL IS INSANE🔥🔥🔥

Persona and Genshin VA’s Erika Harlacher (Venti) - Ann Tamaki Max Mittelman (Itto) - Ryuji Sakamoto Cassandra Lee Morris (Mualani) - Morgana Erica Lindbeck (Chevreuse) - Futaba Sakura Xanthe Huynh (Changsheng) - Haru Okumura Laura Post (Yelan) - Kasumi Yoshizawa Elizabeth Maxwell (Rosaria) - Sae Niijima Sean Chiplock (Diluc) - Yuuki Mishima Sarah Williams (Sigwienne) - Chihaya Mifune Keith Silverstein (Zhongli) - Masayoshi Shido Yuri Lowenthal (Dain) - Makato Yuki

GOATHIMPEAKTANO only need to say "HHMMPH", for everyone to glaze him. Mere mortal couldn't possibly comprehend Captain's words

"also kinda looks like march with the hair" *checks en voice actor* *is the same voice actor*

i watched this live on stream and man the experience was something else

Thank god i enjoy Capitano as much as you do 😭 If i didn't, I'm not sure how to handle all the glazing.

jp va's cast is amazing🤣🤣🤣 Fontaine: Attack on titan arc. Natlan: Naruto arc.

YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR U ON THIS

I haven't started the video but I already feel your hype xD Capitano lets out a cool grunt. He's the coolest 😂 Ajaw makes me think of Paimon cuz wtf are they 😭 MAVUIKA PHOENIX. I LOVE PHOENIX STUFF 😩

Yay your reaction video!

shes stunning!

Greatest game in the world

I WAS WAITING! LEZGOOOOO

natlan is close and I've been waiting for this reaction

I'm so excited. I figured they would hold out a teeny bit longer to show us the pryo archon! I'm so excited!!! She does look like a younger Hemiko! And captain our captain if gonna get his moment. I'm intrigued to see what the twist is going to be! 😅😅 Thanks for this review Arnold always appreciate it!

Was waiting for this

Waiting for you reaction, oh lore archon, my lore archon. Didn't know you were live. Naaaah, missed that. :c

CAPEAKTANO OUR GLORIOUS KING

2:05 Mualani Hydro 2:12 Kachina Geo 2:25 Kinich Dendro 2:32 Citlali Cryo 2:48 Xilonen Geo 2:58 Chasca Cryo 3:20 Mavuika Pyro

I haven’t been able to watch your videos lately since I’m busy at most and hopefully I get to catch up fast on your videos and your theories.. I genuinely hope Capitano ends up being playable because I’ve been waiting UNTIL THIS DAY‼️ the current pyro archon looks like sunset chimed in a good way 😭 I love her design.. it’s so cool and she looks like the type of person to ride a motorcycle- Edit: I am also on the part where you were talking about a Phoenix, I think that’s the same type of bird or dragon from the Nathan teaser trailer on the 4.7 trailer if I’m not mistaken….

Watched the stream but rewatching it now again🔥

Holy, you fed that league game lmao But anything for our glorious king, CaPeaktano himself!!

Glad I'm guaranteed for the next Archon/Harbinger!!!! LET'S GO NATLAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

finally xD this is going to be fun

I love the fact that Capitano's helm is basically Jotaro's cap (from Jojo's Bizarre Adventures) with a faceplate !

Oh captain my captain

2:30 the timing...couldn't have been better xD

I’m so hyped !!!

it’s a big and big surprise holy moly I didn’t think we get this chicken on friday! and beloved capitano is finally coming to us

Brother Hanu finally have a Worthy opponent

"Please don't cook" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

when the presumable pyro archon approached and stands before the primal fire, the music in the background kind of reminded me of the Game of Thrones music in a way :D

Incredible reaction, the truth is that ever since the teaser came out I've been wanting you to react to it It's a shame that those of us here on KZfaq can't see your reaction to Natlan's story until a year later, a shame really 😢

LETS GOOOOOO MY FAV!!

I feel the need to point out that Capitano appears to be doing the Jotaro hat/hair thing.

I guess you could say that this teaser is pretty lit🔥

im so excited

I'm personally in love with everything especially Kinich, Xilonen, Mavuika my girl, and Ororon. ❤ my town well known for its logging and bikers so I'm loving our fire queen.

FOR SURE THAT THE FAMOUS "MARE JIVARI" WILL BE IMPORTANT All of the places that have been shown in the loading screen is important/connected to the lore so hoping that something big will happen there!!
