About the "diversity" takes, I'd respect your opinion, thou I cannot agree with it. At the moment Natlan features 7 characters and 3 of them have dark skin. While if you look at the "Natlan Preview Teaser - Need a Hand?" only 1 out of the 3 enemies are dark skin. So the statement that "They are more keen to putting darker skin on enemy..." is not true at this moment. If you want to compare it with Sumeru, Sumeru has a cast of 13 characters and only 4 of them have dark skin. Not to mention the fact that those 4: Candace, Deyha, Sethos, and Cyno are desert-based so it fits the dark skin tone. For the only humanoid enemy - "Eremites", the name itself is enough for us to know that they are also desert based, enough to explain why all of them have dark skin, not because it's "keen to". So by comparison, Natlan's cast already has more diversity than Sumeru's. In short, I am totally fine with this ratio of dark skin characters in this cast, and to be honest I don't really care if this ratio changes in the future because it's not my place to represent other cultures/races to have this critique. And at the end of the day, I play this game to separate myself from reality, not to nitpick and bring irl topic back into the game to ruin my joy and immersion. Dark skin or not if it's hot/cute, I pull, simple as it is.

Idk if its just me but whole martial arts tournament natlan has screams mortal kombat

8:58 I'm impressed on how you can easily tell she isn't voiced by Rie Tanaka. Meanwhile there is me who was totally believed she is voiced by Rie until I saw the actual VA on twitter. Even now, she still 70% sound like Rie Tanaka in my ear.

Mavuika looks to much like shakespear from honkai impact 3rd not gonna lie, at least a my view

I’m saving everything for her I don’t care about any other Nathan characters but her she will be mine

I thought you were hiatus from Teyvat

i genuinely do not believe that mavuika is a himeko variant, there's no reason for hoyo to not double cast tanaka rie, as they've done that very thing a couple times already (nahida and qiqi share JP va, xingqiu and bennett share EN va)

mavuika is the daughter of himeko and fu hua

Cat lady or songue

"IM SAVING EVERYTHING FOR HER". IN THIS UNIVERSE WE NEVER LET YOU GO HIMEKO. ALL FOR YOU HIMEKO <3

LMAO your eyes just popping out when see Mavuika

Tbh, she doesn’t seem like himeko to me.

Why am I getting the feeling that Il Capitani is the pyro dragon Sovereign

I'm so saving for Capitano

Ngl I think the EN VA for Mavuika fit her the best

I agree with the skin color. But with how this is a Chinese game this was pretty much expected for me unfortunately. But it is what is. I guess.

I love the 4th girl with pink/purple-ish team, she looks so good and reminds me a little of fuxuan with like another combination of another character! Idk who's gonna be 5 stars but seems like there is gonna be alot of 5 stars lol IM CRYIN. I'm praying its a little balanced. Yeah the skin colour concern is understandable, some are a little lost about the pyro archon's design because her design is a mix of everything kinda like dori.... Besides that, am i the only one who don't see the pyro archon references to himeko? She looks super different.

they made Pyro Archon design so sick!! waiting for her banner :0

I do wonder how burst look like with this PYRO archon time to save

i'm going to stay delusional and believe she's himeko even without the matching vas, but other than that, i agree on the skin colours lack of diversity.. it's sad but at the end of the day, there is little we, as a community, can do about it 🤷

Pyro Archon looks like she’s wearing Himeko’s Vermillion Knight suit with a jacket on

kaveh can join the battle in natlan

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!!.

zKodla: Finally a girl with pants! Arlecchino: Am I joke to you?

RED HAIR PEOPLE LOVE ME SHE MUST COME HOME ILL SKIPPING EVERYTHING IG AFTER PYRO ARCHON JUST FOR BRONYA COPIUM

is not HImeko JP VA but is the CN Himeko VA.

Also I just realized that Natlan is basically Genshin's Tournament Arc😅😂

Final lesson was avoided in HSR (for now) but in Genshin?

8:45 the smile fading slowly😭😭😭

Tbh I don't like that the Archon has the suit of a biker, but she looks good. The other designs look more in point to Natlan, Mavuika feels so off

Capitano is soooooo awesome

It himeko

🤔🤟

HIMEKO-SENSEI!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 sad that tanak rie won't be voicing her in jp

On the subject of skin colour, I don't care about any skin colour, and I tend to agree with Hoyoverse. Taking inspiration from something doesn't mean literally copying everything, and that's fine. As an example that many people probably don't know, there has never been a female Shogun in Japan because they had another title BUT Genshin gave Ei /Makoto (Raiden) that title. If we follow your logic, we should never have had female shogun in Genshin? Why is it only the skin colour that bothers you? Why don't we complain about 50/50 for the gender of the archons (male and female)? Why don't we do the same for the fatuis? Outside of Genshin, one of the greatest films of recent decades: Avatar (James Cameron) was inspired by a culture very similar to that of Africans and South Americans, and yet it didn't bother anyone at the time that literally ALL THE PEOPLE WERE BLUE! Why do some people today try to put people in boxes based on : race, gender, religion or politics? It's a FICTIONAL art (movies, games, and co ), let's just enjoy it. I'm a black student and I downloaded this game to play Raiden (I'm her first simp), I never needed her to have dark skin or to be a male to identify with her. Like every boy, I'm a big fan of Son Goku, I never needed him to be black either. I don't and will never judge a artwork (movie, game, ...) based on gender, race or politics. And for those who insist on skin colour, of course there are black people who want to be represented but there are also black people like me who don't care and leave it in the hands of the game/creator. And sometimes when I hear people crying "there's not enough of this or that", I feel like a pokemon that racists are trying to collect. It's like Sacha going on a pokemon hunt and saying I " need a BLACK one". Enjoy the game and summon those you love most. (edit : I'll probably not see any replies since I will mute the channel , knowing how toxic and loud some genshin player can be)

Nothing to look forward too

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.

There's no war between humans and dragons, quite the contrary. Natlan is the region where humans and their evolution of dragons live in coexistence.

She's not the first Pyro Archon. The first could have been Himeko.

I really wanna know the backstory of this ‘pyro archon’ just because of how futuristic her outfit seems…especially the glasses.

pretty sure himeko HAS BEEN dead in this universe as murata was the first pyro archon, so mavuika being her daughter or similar makes sense

But u know genshin have nothing to do with honkai lol

What's up with the door that opens ? Reminds me of a certain scene.

Faceless Captain and Himeko... did you get it? 👀

Pyro Archon is already dead if u remember thou in manga. The biker women isn't the Pyro Archon i can gurantee that thou. The Natlan AQ Incandescent Ode of Resurrection Incandescent means emitting light Ode means address to a particular subject which is the original Pyro Archon will be Resurrect. Eyes well other charactrs are there that do have unique pupils but few take Al Haitham as an example. I really want her to be Pyro Archon but deep down i know she isn't and that's why i am disappointed but every other characters are cool as heck.

I think she more like previous era himeko rather then murata himeko cause her fit is the same as previous era himeko

No bc I feel the same I like their designs but how does xinyan have more melanin than sumeru and natlan combined😭natlan is like South America/africa

ok Mavuika's (Murata) VA's are Katiana Sarkissian for EN I don't really know her or who she voiced before but her voice is so good and Komatsu Mikaku for Jp she voiced Maki - JJK, Tsugumi - Nisekoi, Gamo - Nagatoro, etc.

where is Xbalanque? the one who commented about neuvillette?

idk bruh i just cried when i saw her 🥲
