Fatui Harbingers - House of Wolves [Genshin Anime Short from Hoyofair 2022] 

traveler: "Sooo why are they all fighting each other?" Paimon: "I think it's to decide who will wash dishes after lunch..."

The Fatui’s betraying each other near the end of the game is an incredibly fun concept

Mad respect for Childe, the weakest Harbinger to take on Pierro, the top dawg of the Harbingers

"You're the strongest human. But you are only human." The words I want a supernatural being to tell Capitano.

That shot of Columbina is absolutely haunting, it's amazing

Columbina's shot was absolutely stunning. First zooming in on an innocent looking smile that's enjoying her own music from an instrument known for its elegance and then zooming out to see she sits in a monstrosity that appears like an accurate portrayal of a type of biblical angel

Sandrone having the fight for her life while Capitano is just having his DarkSoul Wednesday

1:11 Love how all the fights are balanced and then Arlecchino throws a fucking kung-fu kick in Pantalone's face

Not only she has angelic voice, Columbina also has a literal biblically accurate angel.

My boy Pantalone doesn't need a vision, he has an umbrella, guns and daggers...I love this concept so much 😭💗

The pairings for each fight are chosen beautifully. Dottore and Scaramouche are the puppet and the puppeteer. Pierro is the first harbinger, the "Father" and Tartaglia is the last and youngest, the "Child(e)". Arlecchino despises Pantalone for staying in Snezhnaya and playing strategic and political games, while she works on the field - they represent opposite ways of achieving their goals. Finally Sandrone and Capitano are both said to be very strong and in my opinion show feminine and masculine opposites while being matched in ability. oh and Columbina is just sick af

I love how the creator made Childe throw away his Fatui brooch at 1:34. I think that's a very good representation of him giving up being part of the Fatui/betraying them.

Other Harbingers: *fighting and waiting* Pulcinella: Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make!

The concept of dottores preferred manner of fighting just being him injecting himself with what is basically the T-virus is top tier

Pierro the entire fight must've been thinking about what he's gonnna have for dinner because aint no way he was really taking that seriously

I love the detail how, near the end, there’s a montage of Childe's character development. If you see 1:32, Pierro bestows the Fatui badge to Childe when he was young, as Childe flashes an innocent smile like a child who's finally been credited by his "father" for something he's worked so hard to achieve, and as if he will promise eternal loyalty to. Though then the right in the next scene Childe contrastingly throws it away (or, if I miss saw it, it accidentally falls off his coat as he rapidly turns his head) and faces an enemy, who was once the very person that has honored him - as if Childe is no longer wanting to be a Fatui; as if he has betrayed his own "father". It's a really nice metaphor and a foretelling of Childe's character development of the young him becoming independent from the Fatui or "growing up" after he, perhaps, realizes a truth about the Fatui that is so significant enough to make him betray them and side with the traveler.

Dude, the direction for the aesthetics for each harbinger was amazing. Sandrone having those Mecha spider legs, Pantalone with a parasol and freaking guns, Dottore literally turning himself into an eldritch monster, Biblically accurate Columbina, it's all just so good.

Biblically accurate angel columbina is such a wonderful yet frightening concept the fandom has thought of

Most of the Harbingers: Fighting Columbia: Doing... something... "The Rooster"/Pulcinella : "I'll be increasing your wages by 0.5 mora" Fatui present: YEAAAAH WOOOOOO ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WOOOHOO!!

This is SO CRAY I can't even...Childe the weakest of the Harbingers taking on god-like abyssal Pierro...Il Dottore going full bloodborne...Pantalone fighting with an umbrella and two friggin guns!!...Sandrone's steampunk spider legs...And Columbina being a whole biblical angel O_O So many great ideas, so friggin wild!!! Such a mind-blowing masterpiece

GOD I love how unique and dynamic the Harbingers’ fighting styles are here. Arlecchino with a sword-whip! Sandrone with a missile launcher-rocket drill-hammer and mecha spider legs! Scara summoning his Shouki no Kami body! Dottore making himself all gribbly and Bloodborne-y with too many eyeballs! PANTALONE WITH GUN. the non-combat Harbingers get cool stuff too, like Pulcinella getting the reaction he does (the best villains are ones who make you think they’re the good guy) and Columbina’s whole “be not afraid” thing and the subtle details! the juxtaposition of Pantalone, who came from poverty, stomping on the hands of the homeless camped out on the steps of his massive mora vault! Signora’s design merging her boss form, her funerary mask, and the Crimson Witch of Flames hat! Tartaglia getting his Fatui badge pinned on his coat by Pierro like in his Delusion story! Foul Legacy Tartaglia’s mask unfolding mechanically! Gnoses! all of this is to say this is an immensely well-done animation and one you deserve all the kudos for

even though all the harbingers seems powerful columbina's scene alone sent shivers down my spine. biblically accurate angels are scary😭

Columbina's part was eerily beautiful, I literally can't wait for her release

0:51 i love how Scaramouche punches Dottore and it doesn't do anything, but then the robot hand follows (idk if I'm saying this correctly) and Dottore just FLIES out of the frame

This was sick, thank you....The columbina concept was so scary and on point

I love how dottore just willingly turned himself to be the demon king 💀

love how everyone is fighting and columbina is literally alone but still gives off a scarier vibe than anyone there

When I first saw this, I really thought there's gonna be a possibility that this would become canon some way or another. After what happened to Signora and Scaramouche, the Fatui may be a powerful organization but they don't get along so well that conflict within them is inevitable. Childe throwing the Fatui badge was so cool to add on since it is also something he might do once we reach the end of the Snezhnaya arc because his family is more important and he wouldn't probably hesitate to choose them over the Tsaritsa since if she's going to war against Celestia, his family will get caught up in the war so he has to protect them. Throwing "Tartaglia" and "Childe" to become Ajax again and protect his family.

Thank you very much for watching! It was a pleasure to participate. The deadline was very tight, so in some places the scenes were not finished to perfection... But I'm still proud of our team, whose ambition and strength amaze me despite the challenge. I've seen industry projects with less level of quality took 2 or 3 times longer, and we are here not even a studio.

If it turns out that Columbina is canonically a seelie survivor and her true form is indeed like a Biblically-accruate seraphim, _(a high-ranking angel)_ then I wouldn't wonder why whoever cursed the seelies to lose their form willingly did it to them. Look at how Columbina looks both ethereal, intimidating, and even more so terrifying. Seelies were obviously a threat to the plans of whoever cursed them, that's for sure.

I just love how Columbina is so terrifying they just put her alone

the Childe vs Pierro makes me think of a Loyalist vs Traitor scenario. but as for Scara and dottore it's more of a revenge thing. while the Whole Pantalone and Arlecchino fight is more like a power struggle.

Love this concept of Scaramouche using his God form as a stand, this would make him so interesting as a playable character

The way columbina was drawn is honestly how I hope she is in the game. That biblical fallen angel appearance is extremely haunting and this project is one of the best I have ever seen for the harbingers.

I don't think I've seen anyone mention how much fun and how much vision these storyboard artists truly have. Looking at single frames reveals such creative ideas about Arlecchino: her weapon is a cane with a barbed tip that is capable of being wielded from either end, but also separates to reveal bladed chain-whip sections; and Arlecchino herself can transform herself into a mass of blood and mist and travel along the length of the chain-whip while its segments are spread, catching the weapon at either end to great effect. Absolutely genius, implementing a clever weapon design that melds with clever character design and animation that does the concept justice. Shine on.

1:17 will always be my favourite part of this masterpiece of an animation since I’m always finding myself so fascinated by biblically accurate angels!! If Columbina happens to be inspired them I guarantee I will pull for her at any cost even if she isn’t inspired by one as I like her overall design anyway heh.

Other Harbingers: Swords, Claymores, Spears, Magics, Mutations and Guns 1:04 Sandrone: *aggressively sits on you

1:38 I HOPE A SCENE LIKE THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENS IN THE GAME ITS TOO GOOD.

Pierro = God of Abyss Columbina = Angelic of Terror Arlecino = Soul Calibur Ivy knock off Capitano = GUTS Sandrone = The skynet herself Rooster = Dictator for communism maybe? Dottore = William Birkin/Albert Wesker but better Pantalone : 12 Bullets, more than enough to kill anything that moves, and one more thing.... *YOU ARE PRETTY GOOD*

I think I noticed a pattern. Every Fatui Harbinger we met so far in game (maybe except Childe) debuted in a region they're somehow related to: La Signora --> Monstadt, where she originated from Scaramouche --> Inazuma, where he was created by the Electro Archon Dottore --> Sumeru, where he studied at the Akademiya before being kicked out So, we just need to analize other Harbinger's outfits and we can guess in which region will they appear. We already know, that Capitano is in Natlan and I think that in Fontaine we will meet Pantalone or Marionetta, because their designs seem the most french and steampunk to me

I love seeing childe prove his worth against Pierro! I also would love to see a canon fight with Scara vs Dottore in the future :D

I like how theyre pitted together! 1. pierro vs childe (khaenriah + celesia by gnoses vs abyss origins + vision) 2. arlecchino vs pantalone (collects the living/orphanage vs collects mora) 3. dottore vs scaramouche (organic vs mechanic) 4. sandrone vs capitano (human controls robot vs human looks like robot) Also non combatants!! The contrast between angelic (be very afraid) columbina and demonic (see: horns, fire) signora and pulcinella gathering the enthusiastic response this is so damn good

Dottore went from mad scientist to eldritch monster in 0.02 seconds XD

Scene 1: Childe: Pierro! Is this what you waiting for?! To betray her Majesty, all for the Gnoses!? Pierro: Betrayl? It is only an exchange between the Goddess of Snezhnaya. Abyss has return, it's time to witness the return of the true throne above the Celestia. Childe: ......, I've been through the Abyss, I know desperate and madness in there, you can't just take Snezhnaya, the seven region, the entire Teyvat as a stepping stone, to fulfill your unrealistic delusions! Pierro: Hehehe... Delusion, is not the last word I expecting to heard from the day dreaming 11th. Scene 2: Captain: Step aside, Sandrone. Sandrone: Oh Captain, can you please stay here? The technology from Khaenri'ah are far more advance than the weakling seven region. I admire you, but I don't like, unnecessary sacrifice. Captain: ...... Sandrone: Shall we dance. Let see is your righteous blood justice enough, to destroy my masterpiece, on this snowy field. Scene 3: Pantalone: Why are you so furious about Arlecchino? The brand new 'Golden House' is complete, the blood vein of gold, the heart of economy had transfered to Snezhnaya. I had finished the 'Contract' between Fatui, it's a win-win result, shouldn't we celebrate about this achievement? Arlecchino: Where are the children in The House of Hearth? Answer me, Pantalone! Pantalone: They had fulfill their dream, as a fuel to power up Snezhnaya. You hesitated? Don't tell me, you feel pity about them? Isn't this what you been teaching them for the whole time? Arlecchino: They are children! Snezhnayan children! What are them in your eyes! Pantalone: Hehe...... my homeland valued the word 'Contract", and the word 'equivalent exchange' is what valued more. Arlecchino: ...... Scene 4: Scaramouche: Dottore! You are as disgusting as always! Dottore: Huh? An abandoned test subject can still talking? How spectacle. A rough translate from one of the viewer from BiliBili. “皮耶罗！你不惜背叛女皇陛下！抢夺神明之心，就是为了现在吗！” “我与至冬的神明之间从来都是交易，何来背叛一说？渊月已然归位，是时候，迎接高天之上真正王座的回归了。” “…我曾师从深渊，最清楚里面蕴含的疯狂与绝望，你不应将至冬，将七国，将整个提瓦特作为跳板，满足你不切实际的妄想！” “呵呵…妄想。最爱做梦的十一席，居然也会用这个词指责别人？” “…桑多涅。让开。” “「队长」啊「队长」，留在这里，可以吗？拜托你了。坎瑞亚的机械技术，实在高于因为懦弱而停步不前的七国太多，我很欣赏你，实在不想看到……无谓的牺牲呀。” “……” “那么，就让我们共舞一曲。在这雪原之上，你的血，又是否炙热到…能够烫伤我的作品呢？” “阿蕾奇诺，阿蕾奇诺。你为何如此气愤？新的「黄金屋」已然搭建完成，黄金的血脉，金钱的命门从此转移到至冬。我完成了我与愚人众之间的‘契约’。双赢的结果，为什么我们不去开瓶火水庆祝一下呢？” “潘塔罗涅，告诉我…壁炉之家里，孩子们的下落。” “他们实现了自己的梦想，正在为至冬「燃烧」啊。阿蕾奇诺，你在遗憾什么？你在犹豫什么？这不是你一直所教导的吗？” “你把人命…把孩子们！把至冬的生命！都当成什么了！” “呵呵……我的故乡重视着‘契约’，自然更重视‘等价交换’…” “……！” “多托雷…！多托雷！你还是和以前一样，让我恶心！” “哦？真是奇观。为什么已经废弃的实验品能再次张口说话？”

tsaritsa: I need to meet someone, don't kill each other harbingers after 0,001sec:

Interesting at the end there, when Childe throws away his badge, Pierro notices but then after he summons the gnosis he isn't angry, he's kinda like smug. Perhaps it's more like 'heh, you want out of the gang? Then I won't even pretend to give you a proper fight."

1:17 It's such a beautiful shot of Columbina, so hypnotic. I love it.

You are solely responsible for me to Imagine Columbina as a Biblically Accurate Angel. I'd be dissapointed if Hoyoverse doesn't go in this route.

Columbina's appearance in 1:17 is too perfect. That's what i imagined about her, so beautiful yet so scary.

This Jester summoning ALL gnosises at once to use it against Childe is absolutely amazing! Great job, guys!

What I love about this is that it takes classic scenes but remakes it with context. The Childe vs pierro fight is similar to a hero vs demon king fight but with context the second phase with genosis is so much more terrifying and does away with the heroic vibes unsuited to Childe and makes this s surpassing the mentor moment. As for the other fights. The captain vs the puppeteer is tradition vs innovation: the honed singular method vs the variable complex inventions. The aracchino vs patanlone fight is similar to mani vs hormua fight in madoka magica but all the more stylish because this isn’t about ideals but to cold blooded killers dukeing it out. The doctor vs scara is evolution vs argumentation. One transforms their own body while the other replaces it. It’s similar to pacific rim or like Avatar where they either get in a mech or genetically engineer a stronger body. Colombia is a biblically accurate angel but done in a way it is truest horrifying. The initial innocence is still carried through the white palate of the angel but the eyes which contain most of the horror are black. Interestingly: maybe this is why Colombia doesn’t open her eyes. Roselyn was the heroine of a tragedy and like most, leave off on a somber note. And the mayor scene I can only compare to watching hitler deliver a speech Because we know politicians never plan anything good and especially so for extremely fanatical world enemies

"whoever wins can have the last pizza slice"

Capitano, Arlecchino, Scaramouche, and Childe looks like they're rebelled against evil organization and starting a revolution. And in that last scene, Childe looks like a main character who fight the last villain. The animator really did a great job with this.

Damn. That scene of Columbina opening her eyes is absolutely bone chilling.

Pantalone proves that in a world full of magical items, guns and style are superior. Dottore also proves that a bit of bioengineering won't hurt

This gives me the feeling that they disguise their mutual hatred and urge to kill each other from tsaritsa by saying its "Training", To keep themselves sharp and lethal. Tldr, They pretend to getalong infront of the Tsaritsa but actively kills each other out her presence xD

this animation is absolutely insane, literally rewatched it at least ten times during the stream

This was so amazing I am stunned!! But like can we talk about how sick Arlecchino’s sword is? And the detail of Pantalone stepping on the homeless outside of the building? And COLUMBINA AS AN ANGEL?!

効果音がめっちゃ好き召使の剣とか博士のキモい音とスカラマシュのメカ音、道化が神の心回すとことタルタリヤが魔王武装を装着する音…ああもう全部好き

Pierro pulled the gnosis like it was the infinity stone from marvel lmao

1:42 bro collected the 7 chaos emeralds

I'm always so interested everytime there's a Fatui animation! The whole Childe vs Pierro scene is so amazing and the thought of betrayal between two of them is interesting as well. Pierro betraying the Tsaritsa and he used 7 Gnosis to bring back Khaenriah and Childe betraying the Fatui because his own ambition to conquer the world and also disliking Fatui. The first Fatui Fighting the last Fatui Harbinger is really creative ngl, anyways what a great animation and Columbina scene is really scary

Arleccino went full castlevania mode Also Pantalone gave huge Penguin/Scrooge vibes. Chad animation

Took me a while to understand that Arlecchino was fighting Pantalone lol

Columbina and Pierro are my absolute favorites on this one. I like how they portrayed Columbina as a Devil in an Angel's body. That eerie and mysterious feeling gives her that dangerous aura (thats probably why Scaramouche and Tartaglia don't want to mess with her) Pierro is just awesome. Abyss characters are always the best.

This looks so amazing! This better get all the recognition it deserves! Childe the 11th fighting against the 1st was really creative!

Why is nobody else talking about columbina's badass form

HUGE pleasure being a part of the Sound Team for this anime short.. thank you, and fantastic work everyone! 🔥

Yooo Damselette is so cool?? The wings, the big bug eyes--wow!! And Scara and Dottore's expressions (Dottore's especially lol) are immaculate

As a Childe main, this video hits so hard...

everyone fighting: columbina just chilling:

I hope Childe will get much stronger to fight top harbingers. His goal is to conquer the world so he need to be as strong as gods to do that

Columbina felt beautiful yet horrific, you caught the perfection to her personality ngl

This is just how they say hello to each other

when Columbina part is the most repalyed ITS SICK :!

The Columbina Scene really gave me the chills... I'm speechless...

That Childe transform in last moment is fearless 😮

Pantalone with his Mary poppins umbrella and Dottore’s design 😭✌🏽This is great

coming back to this: Childe ,Arlecchino ,Capitano ,and Scaramouche all have a reason or two to betray the fatui

Incredible work as always ❤️

Dottore becoming a resident evil boss

i like to imagine that captitano is just fighting cause he was bored and sandrone was pissing him off

columbina slayed her 3 seconds so hard

The Fatuis are the accurate description of the kind of people who will probably survive an entire archon war. Along with the Traveller of course.

Another masterpiece of animation coming from this channel. How you don't have more than a million subscribers is one of the unsolved mysteries of the world

Absolutely breathtaking, this is the kind of stuff I daydream about. The way that every scene interlocks with an already previously established song is so well made, from the rapid dashing and clashing of swords and spears to the breathtaking reveal of Columbina (Left me flabbergasted) and even that little bit towards the end with signora, not only the animation in this is amazing but the theatrical timing with the music is so incredibly pleasing to both see and hear.

Columbina be looking like the ABSOLUTE FINAL BOSS!

Columbina: Be Not Afraid

1:09 new dottore form just dropped 😍

i hope this becomes canon tbh

Columbina just sent chills down my spine.

Can't wait to see Childe in the anime. He's absolutely GOATed.

I really like the Scaramouche Vs Dottore one 🔥🔥

if columbina doesn't end up being a mfking biblical angel then I'll be dissapointed

Childe vs pierro part is my favorite and colombina is so perfect I admire her theory of being a fallen angel.

Signora was probably the most sane💀

Absolutely love how the animation expressed each harbinger's unique abilities and personalities. This entire video is incredible, all the frames were very smooth and the sound designs were just perfect. Kudos to everyone who worked on this masterpiece

POV : tsaritsa are watching everything

I like the concept of Childe and Pierro fighting. The weakest/newest versus the strongest/oldest. 0:05

Now I want to see this in-game... Scara being able to use the Gundam as armaments is an amazing concept! Beautiful work
