Weeeeeell... Take a look at Otto Apocalypse from Honkai Impact 3. That's basically Ayato as a villain. Or as an anti-hero, depending on how you view him and his actions.
Ngl as a honkai player who's played genshin, he'd be so fucking dangerous if he's a villan. I mean just look at otto, he doesn't have that much potential and power than most of the heserrchers, but is still dangerous as fuck, mostly because of cunning he is.
Damn I just feel so bad for Ayato . . . he and Ayaka were both forced to grow up so fast, especially him, seeing as he had to take care of her. Ayato pretty much sacrificed his childhood to make sure the Kamisato clan stayed in power, and he's been forced to do some really shady stuff, including organizing the Shuumatsuban, to keep that power. Stuff that no one else will probably never know the extent of, not even us as the player. I just hope that he'll be able to relax and be happy for once now that the Vision Hunt Decree has been lifted because he deserves it so much and DAMMIT I'M CRYING OVER A FICTIONAL CHARACTER AGAIN.
Well you’d be glad he didn’t fall in love with a nun that ends up dying due to political instability as well as Ayato’s… and then Ayato literally creating another timeline/branch for 50000+ years so she could live- *cough cough*
@@user4230xjyZ this could actually be a theory lol, ayato actually being otto from honkai, considering they are bubble universes in the imaginary tree.
@@kiarime based on Yae's voice lines on him, she, herself cant really read Ayato or predict his movements. it was even insinuated that they have the same personality
I already know how dangerous he is he can think of the most oddly and unpredictable and most unlikely successful make it work every move you do to him or around him is already part of his plan he could have even known that the traveler would go against the fatue solo and came back defeated by just knowing about the delusion and the fact that Fatue had something to do with the war , how do I know all of this ? Otto apocalypse
Ayato is literally a mastermind, bro was the one behind the scenes getting the resistance to tenshakaku, and he even outsmarted the fatui, risking his reputation for his sisters sake, if he were a villain he’d probably predict our every move
I like this. This AMV gives a good representation of Ayato's mentality --- his willingness, his manipulations and sharp wit. Going towards any lenght to eliminate all form of unbalance within Inazuma's political world. His ruthlessness --- he'll spill blood against any enemy that dares to stand against his goals. Anything to protect his nation's stability and dear family. And yet beneath that smile, you can see his vulnerable side -- his duty as clan leader cast a heavy toll on him, physically and mentally, and if he ever stumbles --- his mask will crack. And when everything is said and done. The elder Kamisato finally tears the mask from his self and step away from the darkness. Shredding all burdens aside, his human side blooms again. He allows himself to be Ayato. Smiling gently at his younger sister, spoiling Paimon with food and hanging out with the Traveller, walking amidst the warm sunlight of spring. Kamisato Ayato is a man of multiple façades, able to wear any mask thast fit him --- but nobody is able to see through _the real him._ His methods may be morally questionable and many may think that he is goes too far, but his goals are ultimatly noble. He is a good man. However, the loss of his parents, dealing with power-hungry figures and forced to throw away his freedom --- Ayato has learned from this trials, that noble actions alone can't change the tides of any situation.
_Anyone noticed Ayato's obsession with that bubble tea drink?_ When a person's stressed they usually eat, drink or do anything else to calm themselves down or to take their mind over their troubles. The way he's always exclaiming that "Aaaah" sounds either like a normal enjoyment sound or it could be a relieved person's sound, like a small sigh. Could be this the same? Even though I don't know if it's Ayato's case, it's worth giving it a shot ':D Sorry for wasting your time on this comment
The man who can make Yae Miko reminds us "don't let that smile fool you, because no one knows what he's thinking" But according to the feeling when playing the plot, he is the type of person who will be kind to those who are grateful to him and will respond mercilessly to the person who harmed his family. Amazing song.
I always attached to a fictional character who's hiding their manipulative and dark side, but use it for the sake of what they protected dearly. I mean, they're actually a nice person, completely not a villain, doesn't has any mean intention, but has to do so for the better good. And yes, Ayato has this criteria:'D
most players say his story quest is boring, but for me it's not. ayato in that story quest amazed me on how he handled the situation, neatly strategized.
Yeah, I've had a debate over Ayato's story quest. Bro said it was boring. But I liked it a lot bec it portrayed how he works on the background. And besides, a political figure can't just run around Inazuma during a problematic time.
"I had to do it. It's all for the family. Long have The Kamisatos struggled to maintain even a foothold of this absurd power vacuum ever since Inazuma's state of no leader. I know what the Shogun felt. Losing someone so dear to you. My father gave up too much just to protect his family and his nation. And it cost him his life. Why must it come to this kind routine of staining my hands with the blood of enemies all to put food on the table? My dear sister, forgive your brother. But you must not know the inner workings of Kamisatos balance of power. But I do hope Aether makes you happy."
I can imagine this dialogue with his EN voice. He sounds serious, yet there's a glimpse of sadness when he speaks about his sister --- and as well, a bit of stoical acceptance about his role as leader.
Absolutely amazing. It perfectly captures the cunningness of Ayato as well as the lengths he is willing to go to for Inazuma and his sister alike. But it also acutely shows his struggles with what he is doing sometimes as well as his troubled past - basically, that there’s a human behind all that brilliant scheming. And the editing, the art, the music… my god, it is incredibly well done. Hats off to you!
Edit: famn bro im on some copium Well to be quite honest, he'd be more fucked because his sister liked us (abyss sibling would most likely beat the shit out of him as well) Ayaka might love her brother, but she would do the right thing
@@psychott6 when it comes to scheming, I'm pretty sure Ayato shines a lot more than Ayaka, so she wouldn't pose him to much of a threat (but he probably will feel guilty for trying to separate her from her friend, but would deem it good for her) and about the abyss sibling thing, I'm pretty sure Ayato wouldn't go as far as to harm or kill the traveler and would probably just manipulate them into doing what he wants, in which case the abyss sibling wouldn't really give a fuck.
@@plshelpwifetookthekids9509 eh if that's the case, paimon exists, she'll just scream at us And if he takes paimon, well we're probably not gonna get manipulated very easily
And its true this guy mind is a mind of a super political power who is luckily on the good side. If he was a villain then the travellers story would have been ended right then and there
To the point of practically BREAKING himself inside, he has had to ruthlessly manipulate or kill others in order to survive and protect himself & his sister. From kid to adult the pressure mounts, then the Traveler arrived and bright a welcome change. FINALLY Ayato can take a breath and his worries eased. A terrible policy that would doom him & his sister by taking their Vision was revoked and his sister now has a friend who has no other motives or loyalties to worry about. Such a person can also become his friend and he can RELAX now. Smile for REAL now. No Breaking!
I love that you went with the dark side of him and ran with it. It's hinted at in the game but I feel like it gets buried there a bit, unless you sit in his char screen and click the same relevant voice lines over and over. This video is kind of like doing that, and then some. XD Beautiful artwork, I'm amazed how fast you put this out.
Ah, this is a late response, but the reason this channel is so fast is because they seem to generally be reuploading works from Bilibili! So they're sharing various different creators' works. It's easy to miss, but you'll find the links to the original Bilibili videos in the description.
@@peace_Palestine20 - The video is fan made, the characters and relationships are true to in-game lore, with some guesswork on the part of the creator based on hints of things Ayato and his sister Ayaka have said.
@@kukuandkookie- Makes sense, I hadn't looked but I did know that a lot of the stuff posted here is very professionally made and involves a lot of people. Whoever posted this to the origin site still got it out reeeally fast. XD
@@tanchao7574 Hey I do not speak chinese and have been on the bilibili site using translators. I have kind of already got the grasp of it but what are the sentences which go from right to left during the videos? Are they the comments?
@@livonsaffron8874 its a uh them call it as 弹幕 (its from niconico if am not wrong) like a comment(ppl can send comment like translate meme etc oh ye it same like the yt new comment following the vid time but it show when u watching vid) but if u don't understand and just want to watch the vid just close it
I think Ayato would indeed be so endlessly powerful IF he would partner up with Scaramouche, just Imagine it. They‘d demolish everything in their path.
I like how you showed us a small glimpse of his past and how that affected him and his future, you have to keep smiling to rude people when your a high political figure. I also like that he feels at ease around Ayaka, Lumine, and Paimon in this. I like his character, he's interesting, with a good backstory. This song fits very well too, so thank you for making this! ヾ(≧▽≦)o
this deserves so much more recognition, this is amazing!! it’s been replaying over and over and over again in my mind since i first came across it, i love seeing the dark side of ayato..
Mister of a thousand faces? I think you mean Mister that is Faceless. I think this would suit Sparkle from hsr better as her ult is literally Hero with a thousand Faces. I really love the art and the way u drew Ayato tho! Well done!
Шикарно! Просто нет слов! От музыки до картинки все просто невероятно красиво и интересно! Сначала хотела написать, что не хочется мне верить в такого Аято, но то как в конце все повернулась изменило мое мнение! Когда человек меняется в лучшую сторону и становится счастливым, мммм, это притягивает меня, как магнитом! Такой Аято мне нравится~ Я, кажется, снова влюбилась~
i feel like all the hydro characters have some sort of mask that they put on to conceal themselves? for example, childe is secretly part of the fatui, stuff with his delusion, etc xingqiu is secretly the author Zhenyu barbara is an idol and constantly has to have her perfect idol 'mask' on mona hides the fact that she is broke kokomi and her true identity and beliefs with her people and now ayato with his multiple facades makes me excited for what Fontaine will be lol
Ayato probably not as sinister as this MV makes him out to be, but damn if you mess with his family you'll feel his wrath. Also I love how you made his "mask" a kitsune's mask
I mean he kind of is? Granted we don't know the details, but it's hinted at both in game and in his character story that after their parents died people tried to take advantage of the Kamisato family and he was forced to step up and fight for their power and name. That kind of political scheming needs a level of Machiavellian intelligence, and Ayato is a very smart man. I mean, during his quest he basically tells someone that if someone won't shut up it's best to cut out their tongue. Plus he does mention that one of his hobbies is "watching people squirm" so I mean, the man's gotta be at least a little unhinged. Childe but with manners.
@@azurii I see it as more willing to do what needs to be done, and often that means getting your hands dirty. I mean we as the Traveler go around beating the fuck out of hilichurls, treasure hunters, and samurai alike. Just because we get a sparkly PG-rated animation after we win doesn't mean we aren't hitting people with swords lmao
If Ayato played for the Tenryou Commission during the Inazma Archon Quest... Remember how the first person we meet in Inazuma is Thoma? And who is Thoma's boss?
Ayato in lore: Mystery elegan gentle man. My Ayato: jump up and down in front all the npc in Inazuma, slash some bird, running swimming gliding in circle :D plunge plunge plunge make other comissioner so afraid of him.
This gives you a great view of this character’s mind his strategic mind his weaknesses and how far he will go to achieve his goals, keep the clan in balance, and keep his family and friends safe
Ayato has to be one of my favorite characters with how he was designed and so well thought out both in how he works, looks, and background. Amazing job on this AMV.
Why is this low-key addicting the bed perfect the images perfect everything about this is perfect and I don’t think I’ve listened to this seven times today
That's incredibly beautiful. Soooo fkng good that it took my breath away. You're extremely talanted, dear autor. Absolutely amazing show about big-big-big questions in Ayato's personality which I was interested. Thank you for that awesome work of art. ✨🖤
I HAVE NO WORDS- THIS HAS LEFT ME COMPLETELY SPEECHLESS!!!! I just wanna say that this is the best animation of literally anything ive seen on yt, please please keep up the amazing work omg i love this man and this video sfm
oh my god i want him to secretly be a villain behind our backs so bad he is so shady i might pull for him next time for the sake of the creepypasta also, we need more faceless ayato content smth scary pls
