[2.0] A (very) Speculative Analysis of Baal - A Genshin Impact Theory 

🤯 how was that possible

literally screamed when she said it 💀💀

And she thinks her own idea is hilarious..😅 Turns out to be a bullseye. Now this is the quality of a lore theorists..

For real, great analysis! Awesome to see now that we know more, amazingly on-point

Apollo" \*gifting Ashikai with the gift of prophecy*

Gotta say you even NAILED BEELZEBUL! That’s Ei. Baal is her twin… YOU NAILED IT IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE! Bravo. Can’t wait to see your theory on Kazuha, our first and only double vision wielder!

Came here to say that! So crazy!!

Damn your theories are so accurate and have a very strong fundamental. love it!

Watching this now, it's amazing how 1 your theories are soooooo accurate and 2 how much planning genshin puts into their stuff.

The Balladeer! The Balladeer is Reallllll!!!

Why is baal

when is baal

to what extent is baal

Of what shall the be baal?

U are a chad

Right? I gasped when i heard yae basically confirm that scara is baal's test subject exuvia 🤣

Bruh my phone has several cracks now cuz I kept dropping it out of shock. Like even the duality of Baal and Beezlebub

I just finished the story quest too. my mind is BLOWN

Galaxy brain

Mood

The Genshin Onion.

That's what makes it interesting for me, the mystery in genshin's lore is something that attracted my attention to it. It was one of the reasons why I liked genshin in the first place, the lore behind it is just as interesting.

This! I mean there's too much going on and that's perfect but the problem occurs because everything is scattered around.. I really hope all these connect properly in future

I wouldnt call it layers but literally "shit that nobody is telling you" i love this game but not telling me stuff doesnt make it ...intriguing

I was thinking about the same thing

Yea this person sounds more like venti than venti’s VA to me

i would LOVE to hear venti’s genshin theories now that you mention it

Baal is raiden mei no one can change my mind not even mihoyo

Who is your pfp?

@@GothelGrigore hot pants from jojo part 7 steel ball run! :)

Being my first time on this channel, watching my first video waiting for an ad to pass, I’m glad to see this 😭 I whole heartedly understand the shit you hate 😭I hate it too.

I love your theory! Do you think scaramouches other name Balladeer has anything to with the connection like Baal ..Balladeer ?lol

That’s a good point! May I add that I also find it interesting that though Liyue is the city of contracts, it is technically the most ‘free’, at least, free from a god, considering Zhongli is no longer an archon, and the fact that he does not have any presence over the city besides his statues of the seven. Perhaps I just have a different understanding of ‘freedom’ but that’s just how I see it.

@Dorel abramov and neither her people love her

@Dorel abramov wait i thought she had no canon title? but i thought that her title would be the archon of love tbh

I NEVER NOTICED THAT AND YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND

@@ClownHearts everybody loves the cryo archon. Without her we wont get the 3 cryo waifu.

Probably Scara will take Raiden’s Gnosis because we will defeat Signora

Also kaeya and dainslief they both have the same ye paterns :> (excuse my spelling, im japanese)

@@ye6090 I think that’s more the Khaenri’ah eye pattern, all characters from there that we have seen so far have it c:

@@pebble1181 oo okk I didn't know that alebedo is from there as well!

actually the in game models of Venti and Bennett have very similar eye pattern as well. i dont know if anyone notice.

It's the only one of its kind too and it just stands there mocking you >:( Stupid statue.

Umm...I don't think that fox statue is related to that. From what we know, Ritou is a town created just 500 years ago by Hiiragi Hiroshi on a once desolate island. It is also revealed that Kitsune Saiguu and Hiroshi were good acquaintances or even friends. So, I think Hiroshi actually made a statue of her Kitsune/real form. The Halo appearing behind should be of no surprise as she is a fox goddess. Even Raiden Shogun addresses her with "sama"(source: Narukami's Affection, weapon ascension material), which is unfortunately lost in the English translation. But you can go to Honey Hunter website and check it in CN or JP with google translate. You might also notice that the Fox statue is on top of a base. Further hinting that it is a man-made statue.

I thought it might have been a statue of the first Electro Archon, since Baal is supposedly not the original

5. I'm mostly disappointed I wasn't surprised by anything.

@@Ashikai That's the curse of being the all seeing prophet!

Or the curse of just having really predictable writing...

She likely was alive 500 years ago, because dendro is the youngest archon and all, and they became a archon at that time.

Just maybe.. scaramouch is connected to baal and fatui blackmail her with scaramouch in their hand.. this maybe stupid, just saying.

Remember fatui behind all of this since venti

I’m not so sure she has anything to do with Celestia and also it doesn’t seem like she would have any reason to fear celestia given that zhongli quotes her and tells us a proverb or something that he says the raiden shogun particularly uses a lot. “Seven ideals for seven gods, and of these, Eternity is nearest unto heaven”.

That would explain a voice line from Lisa that says that she found something really bad with visions or something similar to that

Try saying that Chinese name fast! lol.

Yeah Baal is her god name while raiden shogun is her local name, just like how rex lapis is zhongli and barbatos is venti among the mortals.

They're all really titles, rather than names.

@@みゆき-s6g6x Morax and Barbatos are their actual names while Venti and Zhongli are chosen names for their human-sonas. In The 2.1 trailer Ba'al appears to have another name, I assume it's her humansona one but we'll see when the update comes. Other than that Raiden Shogun (meaning explained in the video) and Rex Lapis (meaning king of the rock) are their titles. Heck all of them have at least 5 different titles each (except venti) and all are listed in the wiki.

So apparently all her names are: + Ei (that's what Lady Yae called her) + Raiden Shogun + Baal

I have no thoughts, but that's a great observation.

? Are you talking about the nail in dragon spine if so that was from celestial getting annoyed from people trying to steal a peace of the heavens so they moved higher and the nail was left and made dragon spine cold as hell (probably??). But if your talking about the stolen venti statue they could be foreshadowing venti dying or maybe the abyss are trying to create their own statue with the materials or maybe they are trying to draw power or something. Wow I’ve just confused myself?? Uhhh, idk???? Don’t take my word on it, this is just a random rough draft of my thoughts (edit:?!?? I just rambled on sorry but what were you talking about?? I totally strayed away from my beginning goal :,) )

@@Chipzipssss Uhm….. they were talking about the Statue of the Omnipresent God, otherwise known as the “Symbol of Eternity” or “The Thousand Armed, Hundred Eyed God”. I think you got mistaken.

@@Chipzipssss Nah im talking about the statue in the middle of Inazuma City. If you look at the base of the statue you can very clearly see it wasn't built there and was taken from somewhere else.

Didn't they mention the statue is currently being built? Maybe it's just not finished and polished?

ooh that sounds quite interesting i really cannot wait to get her to see her lore/storys once i get her

OMG!!! DID SHE JUST MENTIONED SENDING AN EMPTY PUPPET AS SHE STAYS IN HER "CHAMBER"?!?! HOLY HELL!!!

Eternal euthymia, you say…

its the opposite though, euthymia means living WITHOUT mood disturbances. which now that we've seen her new character teaser, makes sense because she has loved and lost (her friends; their deaths were disturbances for raiden). so now she's trying to achieve eternal euthymia, trying to get rid of her human emotions

@@cashtor6557 why are yall so smartt etf

@@cashtor6557 that was a real sad teaser

wait.. isnt Euthymia means living WITHOUT mood disturbance? or calmness and tranquility?

Just a note, but I believe zhonglis eyes glowed a yellow/orange color, the color of geo, in his trailer

@@strawb3rrypi352 they did, and venti's eyes glowed a greenish blue in the manga i think

I noticed that too after she did child abuse to Klee

..............ok that would be hilarious.

@@Ashikai Since seeing Baal, I'm convinced that Baal possessed Beidou to kill that serpent and as a apology gave her a vision. Beidou not realizing this thought she did killed it in one slash, maybe even using Musou No Hitotachi to defeat it.

@@Deathbringersora thats a really good theory

@@Deathbringersora that’s kind of a stretch.

@@Deathbringersora for one beidou is proud of being the one to slay haishan and in her burst says “power that ended haishan” so it’s safe to assume it was completely her that killed it. And I’m not sure about this but I remember hearing that when she got her vision she thought of it as the perfect prize for taking up such a dangerous challenge.

i wonder what his flaw was. maybe she was like "nah, needs more thighs"

@@Hinoirocks if i remember correctly there was no “flaw”, she intended to discard him from the beginning. he was just a prototype where she tested the technology. After he was made Ei didn’t have the heart to strike down “an object of her own creation” so she locked his powers away and he ran through the world as a regular human. The Fatui then found him and (im not sure if this is canon or just a theory) Dottore unlocked his powers.

😂😂😂😂

He's been datamined as playable again! His model is finally back in the game files! T^T I don't think that's a leak since it's already in the game's files but yaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!

He tried to kill Mona and Fischl…. He MUST pay! 😂

PLEASE I AGREE

@@Ikuraga are we forgetting the traveler as well?

At this point I think every character with a unique design is gonna be playable simply Bcus that's how this usually works

Like Thor and the World Ender?

Zeus and Typhon as well (Typhon had a thousand snakes sprouting from his shoulders in some stories).

Susanoo (technically he was a god of storms and not thunder, but still) vs. Yamata no Orochi.

Indra and Vritra are an excellent example, as well as the Armenian deity Mahaga the Dragonslayer.

Bakunawa and Ribung Linti for the Philippines. To be fair tho, the Bakunawa has many enemies in Ph myths, it depends on the region what god attacks the Bakunawa

Mihoyo really likes carrying over some characters from a previous entry... maybe if they make another game, there would be Genshin references there

Genshin -is- a bubble universe/leaf in the imaginary tree after all. Reincarnations aren’t far from impossible. I’m also wondering whenever Project ARK will be alluded to…

and the reason the ppl are confused is bcs, vision as is visionary but it actually is used to spy on u

Maybe they have adaptive like power

Maybe it corrupted.

It's the corruption

The Tatarigami?

@@yomurita yep

Correction, Barbatos was a Wind Spirit. After becoming the Anemo Archon, he took the form of his old bard friend. Venti is the name he chose to go around to conceal his true identity. But yes, Archons does have the ability to shape shift.

This discussion of sentient vessels/dolls makes me think of Albedo, who has been heavily hinted at to be a creation/homunculus of some sort. His ever ominous lines about one day destroying Monstadt could be due to the archon he was shaped after taking possession of his body. IDK, just a thought.

venessa is akways by diluc side, natlan archon will be himeko herself since shes currently MIA 😀

Isn't Vanessa one of the winds, she ascended to Celestia and then she became one of Barbatos's 4 winds. Her form was that of an eagle, exactly like the one you see by Diluc's side.

It's been so looooooooooooooooooonnnnggggg...

tuna ? pausechamp

@@SampeText Tuna.

@@joannamysluk8623 wait what's tuna? I don't understand.

This is just the Honkai destroying the Previous Era all over again...

Actually, I would like to say Celestia is doing this in order to prevent the honkai from invading Teyvat, a world yet to be touched by the honkai. If they mitigate how much teyvat evolves, then they’ll stay in a state where they won’t be obliterated. Think about how medieval-esk everything sorta feels, compared to Honkai 3rd’s setting which is swarmed by the honkai. This is why I believe more Genshin is based off Project ARK, especially when Alice hinted at a barrier being weak…

@@Zarby-wd2nl So... Celestia basically went "To defend us from the Honkai, let's act like the Honkai!".

I think that's slightly misguided because the line actually goes, "This flower blossoms only in thunderstorms, and never withers despite the constant rain." If you know about plants, you'll know that constant watering will kill them and case them to wilt and die. I don't think this description is suggesting that the flower is eternal, since there's no mention of anything else like that here, just that it's very resistant to the harsh and wet conditions of a constant storm. The theory still holds for me because the rest of the set doesn't reference eternity either. In fact, it references transience. Here's a snippet from the hourglass: "Observing this taught the Thundersoother about the cycle of life and death. Empowered with this knowledge, he was able to defeat the beast." The rest of the set is quite similar. The only mentions to anything even remotely eternal, is the "never changing law of time." Everything else is about being quick/brief/over in a flash. Even talks about how the Thundersoother dies. As for the Sakura tree, there's not much to say here other than we haven't really seen any other seasons in Teyvat yet. I don't remember if they call the Sakura one that never stops blooming, but it's not like we've seen that for ourselves. Also worth noting is that the Sakura Cleansing quest implies that the Sakura tree can wither if the tumor is allowed to grow, which kind of suggests to be that the tree is being kept alive artificially. A normal tree would simply succumb to disease and die. It's a great point to bring up the thundersoother flower as it is pretty close to Baal's flowers, but I disagree with your point about it making the theory fall apart.

@@Ashikai Teyvat doesn't have seasons? Does a planet that doesnt revolve around the sun have a season cycle?

That's a good question.

@@pistonfry wait it doesn’t revolve or rotate? Then how is their a date or night cycle? I guess the stars are fake? But how?

@@Ikuraga there are theories about how genshin has a fake sky/moon like scaramouche said in the unreconciled stars event the moon doesnt even have a lunar cycle in genshin which could simply be a quick shortcut buy making lunar cycles in games isnt even too hard. Im not a coder so i wouldnt know to make one but i have seen some simple games and they have lunar cycles so im guessing they arent very hard to code its teyvat's version of the flat earth theory but it could be true (unlike the flat earth theory)

I have to look more into Kokomi because she's really interesting but we have very very little to work with with her too. No concrete thoughts yet.

@@Ashikai that's fair! i can't wait until we learn more about her :D

Re: generation thing, yeah that's possible. I've heard that the "dei" thing was added in the english translation and isn't in the original Chinese, but I don't remember where I read that. I'd have to ask...

@@Ashikai Oh... that's a good point. Names are really tricky when operating across multiple languages >.

On that note… the Japanese term for a political decoy or body-double, as was sometimes done for rulers or generals, is “Kagemusha” - literally “Shadow Warrior”. Curiouser and curiouser.

@@spiritandsteel I heard that the English translation of her constellation is very different from the CN and JP version though. Apparently her constellation (天下人座) translates to something like, "the one who will unite and rule the world".

right down to playable scaramouches element damn

Which stream was it?

Ehehhehehehehehhe

I missed Unreconciled Stars event, but since Fatui has Vision and Delusion, there's possibility.

@@nabieladrian yea, I think that this event should've been permanent tho

Well if scara is indeed what is hinted at in the artifact then he probably doesn’t need a delusion… plus I’m not sure but I don’t remember seeing any visions on him and the electro symbol is just inazuma’s crest

FR WHAT THE FUCK???? HOW
