@@itsBooweee that’s her personality and she would’ve been boring and lifeless if she was overly polite or whatever idea you think she shouLd be. She’s a cat ☠️
UPDATE: It appears that they've changed Kanade's name to "Hibiki." I double-checked the description of the Shimenawa to confirm it, and it was. The user (DQueenie13) explained that the possible reason could be that the kanji for her first name can be translated multiple ways. Whereas, "Hibiki" is actually the more common reading, and it's unclear why the translation team went with "Kanade." It's possible that they looked it up on Jisho (Online JP Dictionary), which listed Kanade before Hibiki for reasons also unknown.
Thank you for this. The lore in Genshin is overlooked by so many large content creators. The attention to detail and passion for telling the stories you did on this is much welcomed!! Keep it up, many of us need more love of the lore.
The Cataclysm really messed up the world of Teyvat. Wonder what actually happened.... did it all the things that happened to the world was caused by the fall of Khaenri'ah? I guess we'll see more as the story unfolds :') Anyways nice video as always!!! Will always be looking forward for more lore videos from you^^
What i wanna know is why did Durin get sent after Mond in particular. It seems like both of her prized works and the most destructive ones too, were sent to Mond. Why is that. Albedo is still residing there, if he gets corrupted is it intended to br Rhindotir's last laugh against them. A long overdue last stand thru Albedo?
I wonder if the 'abyssal corruption' that happened to Takamine actually...morphed him into an abyssal creature, like an abyss mage or smth. So when he finally reunited with Hibiki, in her eyes...he looked like an abyss mage and so she shot him. Also, not quite related, but in Diluc's story quest you fought an abyss mage named Landrich and there was an aristocrat in Mondstadt with the same name. So maybe this 'abyssal corruption' isn't limited to the ppl of Khaenri'ah only.
That's actually a possible scenario that happened when they met again :O It's quite interesting how Takamine regained his consciousness and returned to Inazuma.
I love all the storytelling effort you put into your videos, even using in-game characters and locations to act as visuals. I have read up on Takamine and Kanade front to back, but still watched this video because of your storytelling. Keep up the good work! EDIT: I want to correct that Takamine owned the original Mistsplitter sword. The Mistsplitter Reforged was forged from the remains of the Mistsplitter sword they were able to retrieve from the battlefield.
Can't seem to edit my edit, but I saw later in the video that you did mention it was broken and reforged. Still, in the script it would have been more accurate to call the original sword just the Mistsplitter. It's a minor error though, so good work overall.
This story reminds of the story of 'Inuyasa' inuyasha was a 'swordsman' fell in love with a priestess「shrine maiden」 but the lady was tricked to being betrayed and sealed inuyasha believing she killed him. *if you watched Inuyasha, you would understand*
This may sound strange but your videos have actually helped me fall asleep. I recently started a new job that requires me to wake up early in the morning and your videos are so calming it eased me into sleep.
im honestly invested in takamine as a character & his story. i would really like to see an actual representation or some sort of animation/art form regarding his reunion with kanade (hibiki) bc it all seems so tragic. the whole corruption thing from the abyss, to the losses & effects from the cataclysm. i would’ve liked to see these events more outlined in inazuma’s world quests instead of the artifacts, weapons, books, etc. eeeek. thank u for this video~
I just discovered this channel, and the amount of dedication that I can see on every video is amazing. I glad that a vido appeared on my recommendations. Please continue like this!
Pretty sure takamine returning was before ako domeki's rebellion, she probably let go of thundering fury because takamine returned, even if ahe was corrupted and so she lost her bet and that is why she was using hamayumi by then instead of thundering fury.
This is a sad story… still hoping they will provide a conclusion to it though I think the most sad story in the game, is the handicap man child who doesn’t know his parents died…
i cried when i read more of Hibiki and Takamine’s moments from the artifacts lore bruh they almost had a forbidden relationship but Hibiki knew where she stands 😭😭💔💔 also in THE CATCH and HAMAYUMI lore when she got older and met Ako Domeki, she imagined if she and Takamine ended up together maybe their son would be the same age as Ako Domeki 😔😢💔
I really love your videos because of all the efforts that can be seen within. Thank you again for this wonderful lore explanation! I was really interested knowing that both of those weapons revolved around two hearts, but what about the other three of the series?🤔
great video! just one thing that personally stood out to me - he wasn't given the mistsplitter reforged, right? at that point it would have still been the original mistsplitter i think
I love your videos sm. this channel is so underrated. The videos are aesthetic, the presentation is neat. The voice is clear. The lore is well described. Couldn't have asked for better. Thanks for the good work :D
Slight nitpick i guess: Takamine's original sword was simply named after his namesake, 'Mistsplitter'. The playable version is only regarded as Mistsplitter 'Reforged' since only like 20% of the fragments could be recovered and the resulting product is effectively only christened Mistsplitter in honour of its original owner and to inherit the name, since now its more like a regular sword with Lego pieces on it.
Wait wait wait wait, so did Kanade shoot Takamine because he was corrupted by the Abyss and she wanted to end his suffering or am I getting this wrong?
If she was now an old lady with wrinkles and everything, and only now he comes back corrupted he probably looked a lot worse. Pure speculation of mine ofc, as far as we know hillichurls could be all being corrupted means, and alternatively we know of Durin who was a toxic pulp
I'm just done with Neko quest..I'm quite shocked when Eiko explain the story..Anyway,good storytelling..Thank you very much.. You really cleared up my thoughts about Hibiki..
Yeah we were actually planning to make an updated version of it when Baal and Sara becomes available and when the 2 islands gets unlocked 😅 it just feels more true to the source (kinda sad we can't have a playable kitsune saiguu tho...)
It's so sad. Why do all love stories in the game end tragically? The seelie and outlander, Parsifal and the lady witch, Rosalyn and rostam, and hibiki and takamine 😭 huhu give us a break give us happy love story challenge hoyo
It's the calamity during the cataclysm. From the Hakushin Ring, there is a text that says the abyss "has a will of its own" so maybe its like a dark aura that corrupts people...
Hibiki was a Shrine Maiden under the mentorship of Kitsune Saiguu. She also had an on-off relationship with Takamine (The Mistsplitter). Then the Cataclysm happened and Raiden Makoto went to Khaenriah together with her friends including Takamine and Kitsune Saiguu but they were beaten(?) and were both consumed by the Abyss. However, Takamine still returned to Hibiki because he wants to win their wager that they both made before he left for Khaenriah. Hibiki instead shot him and killed him to not let him suffer under the Abyss. She then went to Seirai Island and joined Ako Domeki's rebellion. Hibiki released the power of the Thunderbird which then damaged the Shogunate Ships but also took losses on their side. The End 😅
