pulling Childe for gameplay ❌ pulling Childe for more lore ✔️

arnold: ''imagine something happens to teucer and arleccino recruits them to the fatui" hoyo: "write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!!"

I like the idea that Regrator is gonna be a key part in figuring out the "oh shit Morax stopped making mora" problem

Maybe Marionette doesn't like Childe because he makes toys out of Mr. Cyclops. We see she's super into tinkering with Khaenriah'an machines, so the fact that Childe and his siblings treat them like toys might set her off

8:59 Not Childe casually breaking the 4th wall regarding his weekly boss. I love him

As fellow Lore Enthusiast, this analysis is much appreciated! The story getting darker and complex, healthy amount on dwelling on the game lore is part of the fun itself

Man, revealing the Harbingers is such a smart move from Hoyoverse. 4 days in a row now i believe and i still can't take my mind off that trailer. Beautifully done.

Little theory of mine: In the commedia dell'arte, Pierro and Colombina are often a couple, but Colombina also has a relationship with Arlecchino. Very often those two betray Pierro together. It might be that those two betray the fatui in the game. Colombina is sussy and Childe says Arlecchino would betray the Tsaritsa in a heartbeat. I'm also guessing at least one of the two will be playable.

11:16 Since you mentioned the fortune slip quest, here's Russian names trivia of the day: - The Fatui turned shrine maiden npc's name, Lyudochka, has first syllable stressed (LYU-do-chka), and it is an extra-diminutive form. - Full name would be Lyudmila (lyud-MI-la), and regular, casual diminutive would be Lyuda. - The "ochk" suffix pushes it further into dimiutive territory, making it sound cuter and mushier. Like, say, if a girl named Katherine was adressed as "Katie" instead of Kate. This was Russian names trivia of the day! Edit: also, when Lyudochka's higher-up talked to her, imo the use of diminutive form adds to the creepy/patronizing vibe. Imagine your boss using a cutesy, kinda-personal form of your name while making you an offer you can't refuse.

Listen, YT frogs, you don't need to rush to the comments every time there is some little bit of info that you think Arnold needs to see. His mod team is on top of it and always has things lined up for him and keep him informed on new things he may not know about, like these voice lines. So just sit back, chill, and enjoy the videos. ;)

I‘m glad you called out the leak-spoiling people. I especially hate it, when people go on shitstorm bcs of random leaks and rumors or expect the released content to be exactly like the leaks they saw and cry around when there are not. These people are effing annoying. Wanna look at leaks? You do you, but do not spam people and cry around about it.

there's no many reactors that can dig and analyze the video they watched this much. really appreciated and nice to see someone actually pay attention to detail bro

I just wanted to inform you that the Chinese voicelines don't use the word strength for the ranking. They use something that can be better interpretated as reliability/capability/ability. It doesn't refere to just raw strength.

Since Sandrone/Marionette loves tinkering with machines, maybe she will be visionless/delusionless, relying on machines instead? And for her boss fight there will be some super-mega-Ruin Guard or something.

12:32 You know how we joke about Hoyoverse taking notes from your theories and thoughts? Hoyo DONT WRITE THAT DOWN DONT-

Originally, Fatui Harbinger are not ranked by strength (since we learn that Childe was the new flesh blood among them. so it make sense why he’s no.11) but somehow hoyoverse decided to change it for some “only god knows” reason From what I’ve heard, it’s seem like that line was mistranslated as in CN version, The “strength” part refers to “capability and talent” rather than “physical/elemental prowess”. we learn from Yelan’s story quest that Pantalone (Regrator) is the number 9. we also learn from pale flame set that Pantalone doesn’t have a vision. so how come is he stronger than Childe, who have both vision and delusion ? Pantalone’s talent is money (there’s also a rumor about him being the most wealthiest man in the Teyvat, Ningguang doesn’t even come close to him) and we all know that money is power. I means.. why bother fighting if you can just hire people to do shit for you, right ? imagine if he hire an entire army to fight Childe or worse, capture his family as hostages. Pulcinella is actually a genuine good grandpa to Childe. in the trailer, Pantalone refers him as “mayor”, since he was the one who recruited Childe. we can safely assume that he’s the mayor of the city in Snezhnaya. “Morepesok” village that Childe hails from is probably a part of that city.

Now what I wanna know is…Is marionette the one who make Maguu Kenki knowing it’s a samurai puppet ? Cause Maguu drop is called “Marionette core”

I knew the mods will inform you about the childe's new dialogue. I also wanted to tell you but I knew it was 2.8 and it wasn't even out. So I just held back and I still knew people without any sense will spam you about this. Smh really

Tartaglia: I fear no man, but that thing... *looks at damselette* Tartaglia: it scares me

omg you're theory about the sword Kaeya mentioned im mind blown

it is a mistranslation but it is more of ability rather than strength

I am fully convinced that Scary Mouse will be made playable and go by Kunikuzushi when he is. The fact that both Ei and Yae refer to him by that name in their voicelines rather than either of his nicknames makes me assume it.

You know, in the Comedia del arte (I wrote it in spanish cause I dont remember the correct spelling) wich is where all harbringers get their names from, sandrone represents a family of puppets, a son a wife and a husband, the husband being named sandrone, now, i wonder, maybe they swaped genders in genshin where sandrone is the wife, the big robot is the husband and the daughter is katheryne? Could be cool

My upmost apologies about my comment about the voiclines, I am on vacation and was unaware that the video I saw was a leak as there was nothing on said video that disclosed that it was. And I thought that the update came out the same day of the harbinger video.

About the leaks: I don’t have Childe, but I saw so many videos about his voice lines the day before 2.8 that didn’t say they were leaks, so I thought they were already in the game. Leakers need to stop making videos without disclaimers!!!

Oh! Remember in the trailer when it said: "what happened to the segment in the prime of his life?" That was probably referring to not his main body but maybe his strongest one which he may have sent to sumeru to do something involving collei. Also maybe collei got some sort of prophet-like dream power b/c she was infused with the gods power?

I'm almost certain I've heard Yae say "divine gaze" when referring to visions (and even if that isn't the case, the words are obviously conceptually related. "conquering the divine gaze" -> "conquering the gods' favor", "gaze" -> "vision"), so I was wondering if this could relate to the fact that Scaramouche has no vision on his character model. is it possible that by "after conquering the divine gaze, he will make his next move" Dottore means Scara has only used a delusion up to now, and the stunt he pulled in inazuma actually made him awaken his own vision?

I on behalf of the Yt community apologize for our act. Though I'm not actually the one that comment about you checking the new childe voicelines, but I'm actually about to but changed my mind after seeing already a lot of people asking u to do so. Probably we just got too excited and forgetting the fact that 2.8 hasn't arrived yet even though it just a couple of days left. I hope this incident doesn't left any uneasy feelings towards you and your viewers on the Yt community. Peace out 😃 Ps: Capitano are also my favorite Harbinger. Can't wait to know more about him.

Hey murderofbirds, you might want to rewatch the first cutscene with the unknown god. You'll see what happened to aether's(or lumine's) sword. Mainly before the sibling gets kidnapped

OMG I thought we’d be waiting until another character lore stream to get this voice lines reactions content. Great stream!

I was thinking Marionette could be mad at Childe because he destroyed the whole "Toy Factory"

15:45 There are already theories about Sandrone being the manipulator of Katheryne, and it really makes sense

Childe is the ATM but Regrator is the bank.

Your resistance of the leaks for this game . You have my respect

when it comes to genshin leaks, I really, really wish they weren't so widespread. at this point it's almost next to impossible to avoid them online (at least for me) and as someone who wants to experience the game on my own, I absolutely hate it

these leak people can be really a thorn tbh, instantly looking for self-gratification, patience is no longer in their moral compass. Like, I look at some leaks but I'm not an ass to spoil it unto others who just want to witness the experience as it is.

the idea of 6 paths of dottore is so cool and yet sooo funny at the same time lmaooo

I'm loving the Marionette Katherine theory way too much and i could write a 10 pages essay on it

I wonder where the rest of the Harbingers all come from. We know that Signora is from Mondstadt, Scaramouche is from Inazuma, Dottore is most likely from Sumeru, Childe is from Snezhnaya along with Pulcinella and Pantalone (Arlecchino calls them out on being too comfortable in their own homeland, which seems to suggest they're from Snez and she isn't) and Pierro is most likely from Khaenri'ah. That leaves us with Sandrone, Arlecchino, Capitano and Columbina. I wonder if HYV is gonna make all of them come from all 7 regions or if one region (like Liyue, Fontaine or Natlan) is gonna be left out.

If I remember correctly, there is a voicline from raiden where she says Childe actually cannot be one shotted by the musou no hitotachi, which is kinda funny since it is also the same on his boss fight

Columbina's blindfolded/sealed eyes and wing-like hair ornaments gives off angel vibes to me. Maybe an angel from Celestia? Fallen? She sings too. Can't wait to find out more about the Harbingers!!!

I think that Dottore's elemental burst would be like summoning all his clones to fight by his side

Your theories are always so fun to hear!!

I'm a leak watcher but I'm not a dick and tell it to arnold or even to any genshin content creator, come on guys be more sensible

as someone who doesn’t have Childe, I didn’t even know it was a leaked voice line, I thought the voice lines were old. I guess ignorance is a bliss

I was looking forward to your reaction to this. About what you said about leaks - I know how it feels. I found out about his voice lines because of leaks, but I never listened to them as leaks, even though people told me to do it because I said I am Childe main and I have to listen to his voice lines? One of the biggest wtf moment in youtube comments for me. People really need to calm down about the leaks. I am kinda fine with leaks of characters since I do need to decide who to spend on as F2P, but story leaks are a big no-no for me and people need to understand not everyone is so impatient that they are gonna read every leak, truthful or not. It is cool that people are hyped and all, but dont spoil other people

Thank you for this, I had no idea and might not have check my Childe for ages..

I heard that "ranked by strength" part was mistranslated..

From what i understand the rankings of the harbingers are more of abilities/worth rather than strength, maybe it was a mistranslation or something?

Lol for a sec I fukin asked myself "Wait! Who's the fair lady!!!??" Took a moment to realize who she actually was. Laughed like a maniac once I realized it was Signora 😂🤣

This is why for me you are the best genshin youtuber/streamer. You dont just play the game but you also love the stories and the lores of the it which is really really cool. Keep it up sir❤

3:19 The Jester 5:09 The Captain 7:07 The Doctor 9:17 Damselette 11:05 The Knave 13:05 The Rooster 14:43 Marionette 17:24 Regrator 17:54 The Fair Lady 20:21 The Balladeer

I was extremely skeptical of the EN voicelines stating the harbingers are ranked by "raw strength". I have heard the the CN voicelines take a more ambiguous side but as I can't confirm it myself I won't comment on that. But the reason I was skeptical to begin with, is because Childe I think just can't be weaker than Pentalone by strength. I won't spoil but you can read the pale flame artifacts for it. Also the voicelines are from childe so he might as well be biased on his opinions, also he's kinda new compared to others so most likely he doesn't fully understand the power dynamics between them fully. (Another instance of persepective storytelling? It may be confusing but I love it.) I would like to think Pulcinella just told him that yes everyone was ranked by strength so he shouldn't just go poking around everyone for a fight. 🤣

Childe really called Signora the Crimson Bitch of Flames

@MuderofBirds Impact Arnold, while I understand your frustration, I believe you are wrong that any of these comments are leaks or that they did not see it in the game. Don't forget that you and I are on the North America Server. But a lot of people, including most big Genshin Content Creators, have accounts on the Asia Server. The new Patches release in Asia close to a full day before they do over here in North America because Asia hits the next day before we do (it's something like a 16 hour time difference). Given that fact, I would argue that most, if not all, of those people telling you to check out Tartaglia's Voicelines are people who either have an Asia Server Account and saw it for themselves when they logged in or saw a video about it that a big Content Creator put out that day about it because, again, most big Content Creators run an Asia Server Account. I love you and your content, but I think you need to take a deep breath, take a step back and, maybe, instead of assuming the worst, yelling at your Community, and pointing an accusatory finger at them without having all the facts, you should actually research the reasons behind what they're doing that annoys you. Do I think these people jumped the gun? Absolutely. Do I think they were dropping rumors and leaks on you? Absolutely Not. Do I think they were doing it to be malicious toward you? Absolutely Not. Now I think you would be completely justified in your anger and rage if these WERE people dropping leaks on you and/or having malicious intent. But the fact that these comments came in ON THE DAY OF THE PATCH tells me that it is just not the case here. This whole debacle, to me, reeks of people not realizing that there actually IS a difference in time between when the Patch drops for Asia and when the Patch drops for North America; yourself included. I think, perhaps, the correct course of action here would have been to kindly request that members of your Community refrain from talking about anything in the new Patch until it is released on the North America Server (or even request that they wait until the day after) so that you will actually have the opportunity to discover new stuff for yourself. Trust me, it annoys me to no end when I see big Genshin Content Creators that I regularly watch put up full Heizou Guides and Full Heizou Reviews the absolute second the Patch drops in North America. It's like, "Damn People! I know KZfaq demands you to be a slave to them and their supremely flawed algorithm, but can I, at least, download the patch, log in, and TRY Heizou in the Trial Domain before you start telling me how to build him for Screenshot Damage?!" But I have to accept it because, technically, they have done nothing wrong. The content is readily available for them to consume and make their content. And, for most of these Content Creators (like you), this is their job. So I understand their need to pump out Content as quickly and consistently as possible (Damn KZfaq Overlords). So while I hate it, it annoys me, and it feels wrong to me, I can't fault them for putting out their new content as early as possible; especially when they have it completed, in the can, and ready to go. Unfortunately, things like this happen, and will continue to happen, when you have a Global Release of something. Certain people will have information before other people and will want to share that information with the people who don't have it. That's just how society works. Anyway, I hope this didn't come off as a rant because that was not my intent. This was meant to be more of a, "Hey! Calm down and think before pointing and yelling!" type of comment. And, yes, I'm speaking from experience here. That was something I learned through my adolescence and early adulthood. I learned not to immediately get pissed off because someone did something I disagreed with or didn't like, but rather take a deep breath and ask myself why they did that. There's always time to get pissed off and yell at someone later. But once you get pissed off, yell, and accuse, it's almost impossible to take it back. I hope you don't take any offense at anything I have said here, Arnold, because, again, my intent was not to offend, but to educate and open a rational discourse. I also hope you continue to make great content and be the great person I know you are because, right now, you are, hands down, my favorite Genshin Content Creator. I, like you, am a massive Lore Nerd when it comes to things I love. And I love Genshin. And, for the record, yours was the reaction I was waiting for when I saw the Harbingers Teaser for the first time and you did not disappoint!

Seriously, the people who assume leaks are common knowledge and make fun of people who are genuinely surprised by a reveal are annoying af. Some are even callous enough to spam leaks on official Genshin posts.

Capitano is also my favorite. Im kinda hoping if he's a playable character I want him to be a melee catalyst

assuming every vision is paired with a delusion (7^2), and there are no doubles (-7) and the same pair doesn't show up inversely (/2), there would be 21 possible combinations of vision/delusion! so it's entirely possible every harbinger could have a unique pair.

ayyy just came home from the gym to some nice content

I seen some people thinking about sandrone (marionette) being a part of guizhong since of their appearance and hobbies. Listening to tartaglias voiceline about her that she hates him seems make sense now since guizhong and zhongli helped build liyue and Childe almost destroyed it by summoning osial.

Its so cool that I found another person who likes Capitano the most!

I'm way too early lol. About to watch ❤️❤️ I love how invested you are to the lore. I finally heard insights with substance. Personally, I'm looking forward to Sandrone.. and with childe's voicelines I somehow connected it with my unhealthy routine of flying to Golden house to kill Childe whenever there's opportunity LOL. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it's def valued.

The Fatui harbingers are more rank about abilities in CN

Consuming Leek soup much better than consuming genshin leak lol

Ok guys...here me out... If the knave raises children in an orphanage....what if Timmie somehow gets in to that orphanage?👀 (I know he still has a mom, but it's still kinda a meme theory I have lmao😂)

Kathryne is a puppet... every now and then she would malfunction saying "Error"

These are pretty good description!

I’m kind of wondering what Sandrone thinks of Kunikuzushi seeing as how he is an actual puppet and her title means puppet and she is engrossed in her research.

"Not everyone looks at leaks" Totally. Fucking. Agree. And I keep getting recommendations of genshin leak videos on KZfaq which is so fucking annoying too...

I too do not like when people don't confirm that leaks are in the game and gets too excited for the leaks and I am pretty sure your great mods would tell you anything when its the right time for you

Sorry you has to deal with the spoilers. But I appreciate this video. I didn't know about the new voice lines on the rest of the harbingers

I dont think we will ever get Dottore or Pantalone as playable Characters, since it was stated that both dont have a Vision.. Dottore detests Visions, and Pantalone never got one, which is why he started building up all his Wealth. How the Harbingers are ranked, is still unknown. We know so far that Pierro is the Nr.1, Columbina Nr.3, Pulcinella Nr. 5, Scaramouche Nr.6, Signora Nr.8, Pantalone Nr. 9 and Tartaglia Nr.11. The Harbingers where the Ranking is still unknown is Dottore, Capitano, Sandrone and Arlecchino. Here some extra Info about Pantalone: Pantalone was born into poverty and was never able to receive a Vision. This made him question why gods held dominion over so many aspects of life and gave him a deep desire to obtain wealth for himself. (Source: Artifact, Pale Flame: Moment of Cessation) And about Dottore: Dottore is disdainful towards Vision-wielders, describing them as "self-inflated tools". He seems to be interested in the Abyss Order and frequently experiments on Ruin Guards, even turning his former subordinate Krupp into a Ruin Guard-like machine in the manga.

There is an interesting theory I came across earlier today.... Where Marionette is also a Homunculus like Albedo.... And that Albedo was/is an imperfect copy of Aether (with Marionette being an imperfect copy of Lumine) Its in a theory video about unlocking the Traveler's true powers. I would recommend checking it out if you want

Leak enjoyers PLEASE stop assuming everyone is into/following leaks! Be considerate to players, especially content creators before you feel the need to share. I get the sentiment. I always feel hesitant to check out comments for theorizing in case i see one of those repliers who try to debunk or "correct" their thoughts on the lore/game. By strength, they don't mean raw power. Tartaglia is still one of the most powerful in the Harbingers by raw damage and combat prowess. It could be their usefulness to the cause of the Fatui. This theory can be backed up by how Scaramouche and Tartaglia are treated. Pulcinella told the other Harbingers not to get too attached to Childe behind his back. In Ashikai's words; He definitely gives off "the godfather" vibes. Nice until you strike a nerve, then it's "You've ruined our family, our agreement!" He's got Childe on a leash to continue being a tool that won't bite back. Definitely recommend checking out "Chill with Aster" and Ashikai's lore videos on the Harbingers if ya wanna know more speculations! Though your own theories are so well done you probably wouldn't need them with your gigabrain.

i love your analyses!! they’re really interesting to hear and i love everyone’s theories! just a small correction (even tho im not sure how on the official eng dub they’ll pronunce it, as an italian i still feel like i need to say this) Arlecchino is pronunced Ar-Leh-kkin-oh (the cch sound is like the C in CAT, a strong sound, so like the K sound) Pulcinella is pronounced Pul-chee-nella the c in pulcinella is pronunced like the c in “Charm” ,like the “tch” sound and even tho you didn’t say Regrator’s name aka Pantalone i’ve seen many ppl mispronouncing it so just some tips here! Pan-tah-Loh-neh its not “Pantalonee” or any other variations the “ne” at the end sounds like the “ne” in “NEck” or “NEtwork” this is not meant to be offensive, im just trying to help ppl out cause i know how hard it may be for those who are not familiar with the italian pronunciation!! (also if there are some italians reading this who have better ways and better words to help foreigners understand the phonetic, grazie!) 💞 loved the video!

Yep I called it lol He brought the notebook out lol

One reason I'm so excited for Sumeru is the new world quests we're going to get. I'm pumped about getting more information about the Harbingers now that they've all been revealed. Can't wait for 3.0 and beyond

Imagine the gift childe siblings got is actually doctor experiment being while he is away or have a close connection with orphanage and like when he decide to become good and find true colours of good deeds showed

This is a cicle: Catching up with Arnold's videos to relax. He giving prediction about a Katheryn conspiracy. Me getting an existential crisis over that and trying to forget what he said cuz eventually it all comes true. Me watching more Arnold's videos to relax.

I'm fairly certain that Childe is the only one that has an actual vision

Interesting fact about names. Actually, it's Lyudochka. That "ochka" is a diminutive form of Lyuda, like Marina-Marinochka, Alina-Alinocka

Pierro is very interesting. I could see them add an 8th element for Khaenri'ah which Dainsleif and Pierro could use. So it would be cool if Pierro had moves like Dain.

Me, who doesn't watch the streams, wondering why he only has Xingqiu and Heizou in the party.

THE CAPTAIN IS ALSO MY FAVORITEEE

I can understand your annoyance with the leaks as I share that same annoyance every time. Leaks and looking at and openly conversing about leaked information has been so normalized that people forgot to (or just outright refuse to) be sensitive about it in the first place. And the most annoying part of it all is that they expect you to make the adjustment yourself like you're supposed to magically unsee them even though you're online for something completely different. I've come across so many douches that act like that and I'm so freaking tired of this community lol

My rankings for the Harbingers: 1. Pierro 2. Dottore 3. Columbina 4. Capitano 5. Pulcinella 6. Scaramouche(defected) 7. Sandrone 8. Signora(deceased) 9. Pantalone 10. Arlecchino 11. Tartaglia

I die a little inside everytime he says 'Arlecchino' loll

Yo i just noticed that the harbingers voicelines are put in order according to their rank

The Captain is straight up from Diablo.

the voicelines get me hyped for fatui banner now specifically childe's xD i didnt think he'd be so humorous haha

I love how they place all those Voice lines in order. Jester is the leader so he couldn't include himself on the rankings. Capitano is the 1st, doctor is the 2nd and Damselette is 3rd

about scaramouches name, for sure he wont be called scaramouche/balladeer anymore. but i genuinely dont think they will use the name kunikuzushi for him because of the meanings behind this name. as all of us probbaly already know rn, kunikuzushi is a character from kabuki theater and it is the main villain character, the name means "country destroyer" basically. scara started going by this name after the death of katsuragi and it really represents his rage and vengence against the shogunate and the swordsmiths for his death. i don´t think the scaramouche that we know now is the same one kunikuzushi was, for that matter, it doesnt make any sense for him in the same way his fatui titles dont. scaramouche finally has his 'heart" (gnosis) back right now and probably will reawaken many memories from before he was send to sleep in the shakkei pavillion, and also have this whole journey of understanding this world. i personally belive that his original name that he has long forgotten was makoto, since ei's first versions of the puppets were supposed to house the gnosis, i belive she was trying in some way to "clone" her own sister. in chinese, gnosis are called "heart of god", so, i dont think it would be absurd to speculate that they contain some type of memories of the original archons, (need to remember yall that elemental energy and memories are usually very connected in the genshin universe bc of leylines and stuff) this would explain scaramouches hability with swords even tho he never had any training and his overall sensibility (before the gnosis was taken from him ofc). but anyways, i dont know if they would name him makoto either, since i dont feel like scara will want to have anything to do with raiden ei at this point, so maybe they will just give him another new name?? idk, just wanted to share my thoughts in this topic because i theorize and analize scaramouche a whole lot lmao

I always thought that Katheryne was more a resource for Alice, a prominent figure in the Adventures guild, who also always knows what/when we are doing things

17:20 remember childe's story quest? may be those ruin guards he destroyed were her toys

While Arnold was talking in minute 06:05 about the vision vs delusion of the harbingers, I was thinking that perhaps we will see someone use both at the same time ? Like they do their own elemental reactions, that would be amazing (and kinda scary to fight). Just to say it out loud too, Regrator, the banker, is my fav harbinger :) Also I'm sad they didn't go deeper in the story of La Signora 'cause the lore from the artifacts was super interesting indeed

In Chinese it is not just correlated to "STRENGTH" But to "POWER" or usefulness like in status connection or other political powers too

Ashikai has some good theory as to why Pierro could really be Kaeya’s grandfather

Hello MurderofBirds, I am a watcher of your contents. I wanted to point out that, in the line "you are looking a little fine today doctor", and the "segment, and prime, and little 'blasphemy'," are probably referring to Baizhu and Qiqi, who we may have noticed/forgotten that Baizhu's snake companion can talk and that he was/is the first Dendro introduced study immortality in a way. Not to mention that his hair color might be similar to Dottore's hair/

Yoo early gang
