Lore of ALL Genshin Characters Dumbed Down to a Single Sentence 

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS VIDEO. absolutely creative that actually a good summary for each character story explanation. thank you island! hope u are getting good rest and breaks 🙏🏼

Emergency food aka Paimon is missing

@@1mol831she’s here

every one sentence of characters feels like modern anime names -_- where they give you premise in title

The ashes cackled me up I'm glad you're trying something new Island. NGL I thought it was yet anither clickbait video till I saw the channel's name and immediately clicked it

yea i find that part the funniest in this video. though we still don’t know what rank capitano is yet. a lot has theorized arlecchino is the 10th in rank but proven wrong through recent AQ since she’s actually the 4th in ranking.

i wonder if dottore rank decreased after deleting all his "clones", that's a massive power nerf.

@@someoneinasiaIndeed, but I don't think he would be demoted because of that considering his overwhelming contribution to Snezhnaya's technology and military prowess, plus his clones powers differs from each other, pretty sure Omega's power stayed the same.

@@akarirei Even if there is no in game confirmation, simple deduction will lead us to say Capitano is rank 1. He is highly regarded by other characters in terms of his strength alone. Also Childe and Wanderer's voicelines listed the harbingers in order of their confirmed ranks I.E. Dottore -> Columbina -> Arlecchino. Guess who is listed above Dottore. Capitano.

​@@akarirei I always thought (till this patch) that Arlechino was 10th, Capitano 4th and Pierro 1st. Now idk. Capitano shouldn't be 10th because Varka and Childe praised him too much (even Scara said every1 thinks he id kinda perfect). Then who is the 10th? Unless Capitano is the 10th (I hope not), there is one missing and Pierro would be outside the 11 Harbingers

Scaramouche means skirmisher or clown. He's being mocked by fate like a clown throughout his entire life, and that's why he shoulders so much contradictions

are u saying he's not in fact an "edgelord with mommy issues"??

@@meow-gk8gz scara fans generally don't like it that everyone describes scara as having "mommy issues", because it sounds like it was scara's fault instead of ei's fault of abandoning him

@@coriakacoron5851never have i ever encountered people who would put the blame on the person who has legit daddy or mommy issues for having that problem instead of the parents themselves so idk what all those scara fans are on about. does scara had mommy issues? yes but was it his fault? absolutely not though it still can’t justify all his actions after being abandoned.

​@@akarireiyes it makes no sense

RIGHT

well it did actually

@@undeniablySomeGuy Not really

This video was literally released before Masquerade of the Guilty

@@HashiNuke That's why I used the term "Aged"..?

Older sister who looks younger than her younger sister, genius researcher who is able to communicate with hilichurchs and be friends with them (you know, the ones we slaughter by the dozen??)

"Kid who's unrelated to Elon Musk but made a twitter account before it was called X to troll Elon Musk in an epic tweet about cryptocurrency (which Elon retweeted) that totally wasn't a rugpull, but actually run by ex Bandai Namco marketing executive Mihoyo hired during the month prior."

It is so easy that he exorcised an entire house of demons by sitting in a chair

TRUE people like to dunk on Chadyun but his situation is funny and unfortunate and he takes it in stride too because he wants to be able to exorcise normally as well as with the pure yang energy. Hello by the way fellow Chongyun fans!

Yes I like chongyun because of his homicidal aunt

We need Chongyun in jujutsu kaisen

EXACTLY LIKE MY BOY DOES HIS JOB SO GOOD HE GETS SAD FOR NOT SEEING AN EVIL SPIRIT

Apep: Sadistic gigantic green dragon with archon issues; has gigantic deadly white blood cell.

devlin: angry dragon with a splinter on his back

Oz: Joutarou, but isekai'ed.

Orobashi: Scary snake god that was actually one of the nicest gods in the thunder islands.

Madame Ping/Streetward Rambler: Cute, kind adeptus but in depressed mode.

yeah and she is an adult

​@@motemo8413that's the most important part isn't it

@@nessstarries6204 well...not really but ppl love to infantilize her when she is an adult

ngl i genuinely hate furina

​@@lolidemon3163Same.

I PRAISE YOU FOR GETTING HER CHARACTER. Like I know some people do it for the memes, but I'm really tired of her just getting simplified to a delusional chunni or an immature teen. 2.8 was a beautiful showcase of her character, because she's NOT just an immature teen stuck in innocent childhood years. She's well aware fiction isn't reality, but it was her coping mechanism and she ran to it, and she hated herself for that cowardice. Up until 2.8 where she learns to instead of running to 'Fischl' and hating 'Amy', she needs to accept herself as neither of them, to find and aspire to her own identity between idealized fiction and a harsh reality. Honestly as someone who relates to her love for fiction and escapism tendencies, it really sucked to have 2.8's main reception not be "Oh, this is actually her character" but "WELL SHE SHOULD GROW UP-" completely missing the point of her arc. ok i'm sorry i talked a lot but Fischl's just so heavily misinterpreted and it sucks seeing as she's such a unique moral that i don't see done much.

fischl is just living her best life i have to admit there’s something i admire about her

@@derpity-moons3575 I understand full well your frustration, just got into a debate with someone keeps saying Fischl is mentally ill and needs a therapist. I feel like because a lot of players just skip so many dialogues, their understanding of many characters are entirely based on memes or superficial indications. Like how Paimon gets reduced to “want to eat food + annoying” or Venti to “drunk + useless”. This isn’t usually a problem because they can do whatever they want with their games, but the frustration comes from those who know very little about these characters yet act like they have figured out everything.

@@slytherinlady3907 A good paying and respectable job, living in one of the most peaceful regions on Teyvat, have little yet very close friends, living her dream everyday. I feel like she is one of the better role models in the game. I aspire to be living such a life.

As someone who just started quite recently and has not seen any of Fischl's events and, well, all the explanations for her, I thank you for the explanation. Do we know what Oz is ?

Me too Boo Boo😊

@@user-cf5hf1ob8v wait who are you

ikr

Azhdaha: Frog statue given life with a side of Disassociative Disorder

Neuvillette: Protective father of Melusines who is Otter Sovereign

Orobashi: Giant undersea snake gets its ass beat by a reclusive mom

@@DavidNightjet LMAO

Yes. Jokes aside, I really like Faruzan because of her lore. The reason why she is so adamant to be called Madame, at least according to my interpretation, is so bittersweet.

Maybe something like „curiosity kills the cat or at least traps them inside a temple for 100years“

I was not okay after her later character stories and her hangout. Coming back to find out all your family and friends who you used to neglect spending time with to further your studies are all now dead because you were trapped in a ruin because of said studies for 100 years? That's some heavy poetic irony. Faruzan definitely deserves more recognition.

faru lore - “how about you make a mechanism that generates particles”

I love her character simply for the fact that her story quest contains an interesting math problem (the tower of hanoi). Yes I am a nerd.

example? i'm sure she quoted the lines from the handbook

@@EmiliaSwidnicka-ly8kt The very first dialogue. She inmediately stops you in a rude maner, accuse you of being suspicious just by existing, and drags you to HQ for no reason whatsoever. The guards at the entrance of Mondstant are a lot more "by the book" than Amber.

​@@EmiliaSwidnicka-ly8kt The lines she used were the ones specifically listed to not be used iirc

She does everything by the book, but forgets which book.

Kinda like Karen’s preaching the Bible while being absolutely assholes

I don’t think Scara wanted to kill other gods?

Agree with Xiao, but Scara is missed in here completely Dude joined the Fatui for shits and giggles only to double cross them to fulfill his birthright only to get bamboozled by a crazy ass coworker and kill himself in front of you

@@_mika-mikazuki_iirc he did not join the fatui for shits and giggles 😭 wasn’t he was manipulated and tortured by the doctor?

@@aeris143 No. He was abandoned by Ei and Dottore was the one that found him and was willingly to grant him the power he seeked. I hate how the fandom acts like Scaramuche is was uwu baby because Dottore experimented in him. Y'all love to forget that Ei abadoned him and Yae wanted him destroyed.

@@softjytsuand YOU forget that ei didnt abandon him at all, he was never supposed to gain consciousness at all. he wasnt alive when she left him at the pavilion. he was a lifeless puppett. and yes, dotorre DID manipulate him. that is how he agreed to join. youre an idiot beyond words and you know nothing about the lore. and considering what a mess scaramouche became, yae should have killed him

Shorter version: The Cartographer wants to become the legend.

The sad thing is, we don't even know if she's still alive... (the last letter in her camp is kind of controversial)

*inhales* FEEEEEMAAALEEEE BENNNEETTTTT

Now I'm waiting for lore for places dumbed down to a paragraph or 2

Or simply annoying npc that won’t matter later on.

She actually got her vision right before she died, and the ambition that gave the vision was not to die, celestial has a cruel sense of humour

Ehh quite off😅 it's way worse. Qiqi was a herb collector when she was younger aswell she was send to collect herbs from dragonspine she accidentally fell of a cliff here and went into a cave to heal her wounds. The demons and adepti where fighting nearby and accidentally hit the cave which caused it to crush Qiqi entirely. She gained her vision right before she got crushed with her last thought being 'I wish i could see my family again'.Both sides stopped fighting and the adepti full of guilt for having killed and innocent young child digged her up and saw her broken body, bones twisted and turned to places it shouldn't have. They decided to revive her without knowing the consequences. The immense amount of adeptal power given to Qiqi was so much that she completely went out of control and started killing everything within her vicinity. Deeming her too dangerous to walk around Mountain Shaper locked her up in amber. It is said that Qiqi's family never closed the door waiting for her to eventually return to them. After centuries of being locked up in amber some mountain climbers came across the little girl trapped within the amber, wanting to give her a peaceful passing they reported the news to the Funeral director who said they should get the Qiqi to him (This was Hu tao's father). When the mountain climbers went back to get the girl the carved out the amber and took it with them on a cart. During the long road back the cart fell over which crushed the amber and freed Qiqi who immediately ran into the mountains still feral and insane. Baizhu came across the little girl and gave her the sigils which can be found all over her body. These sigils are there to keep her sane of they are removed Qiqi will once again go into an insane state.

"A Girl got resurrected as half-zombie because a Yaksha felt bad for her and now she kept resurrected on my Gacha, Oh, also helps the doctor with snake and always gets targeted by certain Funeral Parlor Director"

Where did this come from? And if true qiqi has potential of an upgrade without sigils lol

I pulled a qiqi 🎶

that is really cool! i recall that they all work for ningguang? but one npc from a daily comm in particular---the fisherman who defeats the ruin guard---was particularly eye-catching to me. do you have any more info about that guy?

@@user-mz6zn1od9h Yeah, I remembee digging into him once- Sadly, there isn't much about him. We know that he was once a Vision holder, but he used it for bad stuff and so he threw it away. But despite that, he was taken in by the Inn and now spends his days fishing and being a NEET. (And also eating food made by the Wangshu in Chef) There was a theory that he may have been some kind of an agent for Ningguang/the Qixing, and thats why the Inn took him in despite him having nothing to offer, but yeah, since 1.4 we got no more info about him and it sucks

Nobody cares about NPCs here, they're hogging way too much screentimes from the actual playables

@@emptyvoid5272 well, the two of us do, plus, if you're interested in storytelling, NPCs are still fun to read into. It may not be your cup of tea, but it does well for the worldbuilding. Also, some of the best character quests were not fullybabout the characters in questions (like Venti, Childe, Yoimiya and Tighnari), but also about NPCs related to them.

@@woodywas4549 Most of the lore-related important infos actually came from the written items description (artefacts, weapons etc) or in-game books, not through bloated NPC dialogues. And I haven't seen anyone praise those characters' story quest as much as Raiden or Zhongli's second quest, which both focuses less on the NPCs

EXACTLY. the whole "he's broke" shows how people FAIL to read. He's never been broke, just forgets his wallet at home so others can spend on him.

He forgets it because he never had the need to pay before because he could just make mora on the spot. Also he was an archon

​​@@softjytsu So, when not at home, he is broke. Broke doesn't mean being poor, it means not having money on you. And Zhongli mever does.

@@Kurameno he still is an archon.

He's a big spender too, like in the archon quest, because he never had to worry about running out of mora

I'll do you one better "singing little lady who can actually murder everyone"

Also reminds me of Jawhead from Mobile Legends Bang Bang

"If evil, why hot?" I think the video was confused. A more accurate statement would be "if evil, then hot."

Btw it’s Rana not Rama

Oh, lol. Didn’t notice I typed Rama. I read over it and was sure it said Rana.

Jeht uses elemental spirits with her moves like razor and cyno

Imagine if Murata is already dead😶. At least cant die something that is already dead

I like rana but I don't need her to be playable. Jhet on the other hand. GIVE MY GIRL A VISION AND LET HER BE PLAYABLE DAMMIT!

Kpatcir angry bird

Kanna Tapatcir died ~100+ years after she destroyed tsurumi

is it bad im not too mad that she killed them all like just the way they killed him was evil

jesus christ now that they're in a list, that's a lot of characters

JEsus christ what the

@@Zuki04 Pantalone, 9th in fatui

@@user-jd3gf5xw1x Aka Evil Fatui Baizhu

This 😭

i’ve seen people hate on him just because he’s “emo”. like thats one way to say that you cant even pay attention to his lore

​@@torikeii True. He isn't emo, he is edgy. There is a big difference, which most people fail to realize.

@@torikeii no for real they call him emo like he doesnt have reasons (so many reasons) for not getting close to anyone, being quite and intense. Like he legit can not be around humans for too long or he can kill them because of his karma like thats a depressing truth. He is a war hero and got no thanks or happy life in the end just more pain. Also he's the last one of his kind thats hella depressing.

@@torikeii I would totally hate Xiao, if he was just edge, but unlike a pizza cutter, he has a point. His backstory IS heavy. I still don't really like him, because I just don't like those kind of characters, but I don't think he is a bad character. On the contrary.

Alice is there as the whole Hexenzirkel Motif + Tea Party thing at the end. The others are pretty fair, but Azar gets Zero (0) rights.

Did I also miss Jean? Like I can’t remember him talking about her

2:21 as a comparison to a character from fat/stay night, though I don't get the reference lol@@heyitsaaliyah6059

Sigewinne was born from Elynas's corpse as well as some other energy, which i remember should be from the clockwork mekabeing destroyed. Just read up on the Narzissenkreuz lore

Oh wait I'm starting to get it now 🗿💀

Sig is just a melusine that can change into somewhat human shape, only dad she got is Elynas.

„Cannot be designed overnight…“

It's like the saying I've often been told

I believe the Thunder bird was alive when he made friends with it.

Madam ping is in the video, but only her adepti form

Should be something more like Resurrected child forced to live forever after enduring near endless suffering, imprisonment and infusion with dangerous godly powers

​@@A_random_funeral_consultantthat's a cool description but i usually just use "Wrong place at the wrong time" more 😅

@@myleneestrada3913 i mean your not wrong

yeah but true though

yea brutally true

I really want varka playable From what the game show us information he is father of razor, pet wolf of the north, was the owner of the wolfs gravestone, is the leader of favonius knight and called to be a giant and strong man (something like escanor) bro is the badass by himself

​@@andrysonss9493He is not Razors Father

@@itsmewhoknows its timmie father* i miss here

NOT THE INTERACTIVE MAP💀💀

she literally is ashes now

I didn’t really get that one what does it mean?

@@patricialock1862 you have to watch Gintama anime series for it. Someone named Katsura (same JP VA as ayato) always called Zura by almost every single characters im the series. And everytime he is called that, he replies "Zura janai, Katsura da" (its not Zura, its Katsura) If want to watch it by yourself, just search it in youtube. I am sure there are lots of compilations of it

​It's the catchphrase of Katsura from Gintama who Ayato shares with Japanese voice actor, Akira Ishida. His other notable roles are Otto from Honkai Impact 3rd, Luocha from Honkai Star rail, Gaara from Naruto and many others.

@@nevanV12Particularly Otto and Luocha are relevant, since Ayato himself has a lot in common with Otto. in fact, he more or less is "if Otto wasn't plagued by Kallen's death" to some degree

Just what I was thinking. I guess, a lot of people don't get her character. She puts on an act when she is in public, but my guess is, that she tries to act up to a role, that is expected of her, even though she knows she can't really fulfil it.

I honestly think the Furina we've met in game is only a part of her. I suspect that what we've interacted with is something similar to what a hydro mimic is to an Oceanid. I think the rest of her is in the Oritrace core and has been since it's creation and for some reason Furina isn't privy to what the rest of herself is doing in there. She acts for the public because that is her role. To assure the people that everything is 'normal' while most of the archon's power is being used for whatever the Oritrace is doing (the intention likely pertaining to the prophecy). This is just a theory though. We'll see what happens next patch. I could be completely off the mark.

​@@Nowaylarryholy shit the foresight

Honestly I was surprised by how close I called it. The quest still had a good number of surprises for me regardless.@@bav6

@@Nowaylarry wow im shocked

His father is Varka.

Didn't understand anything

@@ar_greyheart471 it’s a reference to the anime Gintama where the character Katsura “Zura” Koutarou is voiced by Ishida Akira, who is also the JP VA for Ayato. Another layer to this reference could be the fact that both Katsura and Ayato are accomplished swordsmen.

@@simplyvs Oh. Gotta watch that one

Well, she did several small things that were reasonably smart (hiring Beidou's crew as mercs for one) but that is mostly overshadowed by the hilariously obvious mismanagement of her army and not bothering to look into their 'anonymous donor'. Hoyoverse really dropped the ball when writing her parts of the story. She comes off more like an 'armchair general' than anything else. At least she is good from a team building perspective.

@@Nowaylarry Don’t forget that in her story quest things only went her way cause she got lucky and in the end she for some reason decided to promote the people who tried to disrupt the peace treaty and bring back war even though it made zero sense. It’s not just that she doesn’t make smart decisions, she actively makes dumb ones! If her best decision was hiring other people to do her work for her then she is by no means an unparalleled genius strategist lol Don’t get me wrong I like Kokomi, but she’s more of a regular girl who likes reading thrust into a position of power rather than an actual strategist; let’s be real hoyo flopped hard with her writing

@@Nowaylarry That whole arc felt like it was ten times shorter than it should have been.
