Pactsworn Pantheon: Cyno vs. Anubis and the Gods [Genshin Anime Short from Hoyofair Spring 2023] 

as if in the game itself, the characters from the desert don't look like that

@@two-facedoctor9113they don’t? You can see the difference in the design from this video to the characters in game😄

​@@two-facedoctor9113 I think it is a very accurate interpretation. By the way, that Scorpion girl reminds a lot of Mobius from Honkai (I know mobius is a serpent), in terms of her face, hair and crown.

Dehya = Sekhmet Geo Croc Guy = Sobek Candace = Thoth Wiged one = Isis I just don't know which god does the Snake like Pharaoh stand for, although the Pharaoh himslef can be considered a deity.

It litteraly is in the lore they are suppose to represent the sages of Deshret (the Ibis King, the crocodile King, the got King etc...) So op made then their avatar or apprentice.

He balanced the scales and left his past behind him to become a matra

​@@kanushvenkatesh1725 cyno balancing the scales like anubis while fighting would have been a nice thing to see in his gameplay, but I guess his entire existence is enough refrence to that so no need maybe He values justice above all as he's sorta Anubis, even attacking his superiors in akademia, it'd be cool if he had the scales at all time for swifter judgement while fighting but yea too much

We wanna know 😔

im shivering in my timbers rn

​@@nol8055one cool mechanic would be if Cyno gained more strength if his enemies had committed more sins... Or in game, the stronger his enemy, the stronger he becomes

Same

"Judgment is upon you!"

"your sins lay upon your soul!" Anubis "....he may have my soul, but he'll never have my spirit." Johnny Blaze

@@Washingtub-senpai upon* your soul...

@@ravishukla7493 oops...... Sorry. 😔😔😔 Better?

ra and king deshret parallels are interseting. also dehya seems more like sekhmet, a warrior goddess with a lion head, daughter of Ra, and the "vengeful manifestation of Ra's power, the Eye of Ra. was said to breathe fire, and the hot winds of the desert were likened to her breath." wikipedia

i believe dehya is Sekhmet and not Bastet the unnamed before dehya is most likely Neith oh yeah it may be either set or sobek based off of the creation made

Thats a very insteresting speculation! As the other coments sais I believe Dehya is supposed to be the lioness headed goddess Sekhmet (idk...the lioness goddess fits a bit more than the cat goddess, but honestly could be both lol) and the last guy I actually tought it was Sobek purelly by it being a crocodile but Seth fits too!

Ohh wait, you guys totally right! I was wondering why (what I assumed to be) Bastet/Bast was depicted as so vicious haha. ^^ Sekhemet is definitely much more fitting for Dehya, thank you for the corrections! :)

from what i can tell, the one yo have as Ra is more Osiris due to a lack of a bird head like Ra's and instead having a human head like Osiris, the one you have as Osiris would then, and this is just a guess in all honesty, be maybe Isis due to the wings, and the Set guy is definitely Sobek due to the crocodile/alligator imagery.

And in the end, I assume he "sacrificed" himself first before getting defeated by the undead, though still can't understand the motive behind such action, still a detail worth attention

@@zaneaulner4333 Anubis weights peoples hearts by putting them on a scale with a feather, if it’s lighter than the feather they successfully pass on to the afterlife. Cyno used the others God’s blood and his own to make the feather heavier than his heart and pass the trial

Me too 😭💕

@@zaneaulner4333 it was to balance the scales on the hand of anubis so it would be equal to the heart tbh

@@cerencebeci8762 thanks for the explanation, late yet nonetheless, some other people out there also explained it, thanks so much nonetheless!

Love this lore tidbit.

i honestly dont get it. what was up with the blood?

@@bojuu the heart was heavier than the feather, so he balanced it by blood and got the approval of anubis by challenging the rest of the gods.

@fish yeah u're right but as far as I know, blood was considered something imperative for life in ancient Egypt. It wasn't that sinful. It was more like an essence of life and boldness.

@@noahkatt7667 to me it's more like this, due to the people he killed his heart was heavier than the feather, so he offered his blood. He balanced the weight of the blood of the dead ones by offering his own blood so knowing that he wanted to equilibrate things Anubis a god who hold balance at a huge place gave his approval.

That’s the same reason I’m here too! I knew it wasn’t a normal hoyo ad and just had to find the original

Bro same

@@vin2164 same

same, i just came here from that

lmfao same, this was such an unexpected ad to come across and as just had to find the original vid

Ikr, so many great characters, I wish hoyo didn't restrict each character to have a specific body shape or weapon, I want the to be unique, like the characters here

Disagree,there is no "story" here,it just combat. Mihoyo lore is still far better than this "story" the character don't surpass mhy just because they are limited by games. Idk what make you think is a good "story vision" it just make no sense,so making fight scene = good story vision? Or adding unrealistic and impossible fight for some puny human is good ? This game ain't god of war. And without mhy information about cyno,no fan would ever able to make this,for example: cyno lore is he has god spirit inside (basically priest reincarnation) so the animator took it and made a story out of it,just unrealistic part is him versus the gods without any spirit power.

Another thing is that it is 3d vs 2d animation. 2d is not limited by anything, hoyo can pull out better animation if they wanted to,just look at honkai 2d story animation,just hire animator and do the job. So these comparison is unnecessary. Man I just hate it when people compare thing that not the same genre,this happens all the time to new open world game vs genshin

@@Asm0sday The thing with MiHoYo is that MiHoYo has money. LOTS of it. They can hire skilled animators to outperform any fan animator. So it is obvious that they can outperform. But you have made no acknowledgment to the skill of fan animators, and the hours they have put in. I do know that this is all fan-made. But this is entertainment, media that people consume. Also, isn’t most of Genshin unrealistic? Take Kazuha, a skilled swordsman but being able to deflect Raiden Ei’s attack on the Traveler? Unlikely. TL;DR Don’t be negative towards fans. Sure, MiHoYo can do better. But appreciate the time and effort others have put in to a game that they like. Don’t be negative to praises others give.

@@fallingstars8331 Kazuha only deflected Raiden's attack pretty much because it was a baby level Musou no Hitotachi tbh.

ikr?!

It is majestic!!!

Hint ???

Reminds me of weapons used in RWBY.

You should watch more anime if you haven't seen any of those before

Bloodborne

@@Asm0sday it's still an impressive amount of utility. It's basically a sword, a gun, a scythe, an axe, a double-bit axe and a spear slapped into one polearm.

But steel is heaviah than feathahs

Also that he did it in response to the fact that Anubis was a skeleton Cyno tore his arm off but had no blood to bleed to weigh down the feather like the other 6 before So he just used his own to compensate which again is genius

@@stardust8797 omggggg of courseee

Payment Accepted

Bro has studied the ancient egyptians 😎😎😎 Congrats!

Anubis: I. Am. Death. STRAIGHT. UP

* creepy whistling sounds in the background *

I like how cyno be gentle with candace but slash outta hell dehya 💀 as if he has enough of her in alhaitham fight lol

Si

Bro is that Candace? I don't think that's Candace

@@pride7052 that is Candace as she is known as the guardian and representative of the desert

​@@nguoisaohoa6410 technically, dehya was attacking him more aggressively than candace, so i dont see why he wouldn't.

How it helps? It's not canon. As a Wanderer main if I had to watch similar video about Wanderer then I will have fun but I will not think that he is wanderer because it's not canon.

@@playmobilegamescodm this is exactly how Wanderer would react lol

@@FruitPunchSamurai44 On behalf of the sane (if there are others) wanderer mains, apologies for his hating attitude. There isn't a day where he's not on Wanderer's dick

​@@FruitPunchSamurai44ong sounds like a wanderer player

Also made her make no sense

@@AndrewsMobs wdym

@@invisibleobject7412 She doesn't turn into a freaking god for one.

@@AndrewsMobs have you herd of artistic interpretation? Its hard to believe your not just trying to be an ass about this.

@@AndrewsMobs your “point” is such a non issue your grasping at straws. There is nothing wrong with her in this animation you just want something to be mad about.

Thanks again for the fantastic work on the project!

You did absolutely amazing bro

F I R E boi

Thank you and all the others who have created this great masterpiece! There are no words that can explain how cool this project is ❤

The representative of King deshret are not only Cyno but Candace and Dehya. They all have link to him

Cyno was raised in the rainforest so characters like dehya and Candace are much more familiar with the desert and ancient traditions

​@@prestigev6131 that's not true, cyno always takes strolls in the desert and feels more at peace there

​​​​​​​@@Sacration And tighnari too lol, people always forget the fennec folk demn, also candace denies she's a direct descendant so not demigod or any of that sort, since we mention dehya cyno etc then npcs as much linked to him as everyone else like setaria isak helmi jeht etc too should be mentioned no?, poor npcs get forgotten just as much as the fennecs, a representative needn't be a direct descendant of the deity itself it seems, which is fair, so why forget the NPCs and tighnari 🤧 my main deserves love

@@naoz9228 You didn’t refute anything I said. Dehya and Candace have lived in the desert their entire lives. Candace doesn’t even leave aaru village because of her position as guardian. They are more familiar with the desert than cyno who was raised by an akademiya scholar in the rainforest

raiden can be considered as a "scythe" user, but it is a "war scythe" (the blade is upward/called naginata in japan) and not the classic reaping scythe :)! edit: toning with a smiley emoji since i don't wanna sound like 🤓, i already called it a naginata before editing

​@@indiradefa3733 she has an nagitana, the war scythes has the edge on the other side.

There already alot character that transforms their weapon,no doubt there will be one soon

Okay, but if one day they make scythe for polearm character, that will be epic.

Or just chuck in scythe as polearm weapon and 5 star at that :3

Might not be on this level, but still the coolest/longest fight animation in the game so far. Cyno winning fr

She looks buffed in this scene.

A powered up Bastet!

The dehya we wish to have

​@@Direk_Carla I thought it was Sekhmet

@@mitama2070 it was Sekhmet, she is more bloodthirsty than her counterpart, Bastet

"Holy Archons"? Wow, I guess you really want to live in the Genshin world😂😂😂

As much as I wouls like to meet some characters, hell no. 😆 Teyvat has alot of messed up problems and i dont wanna be involve in it😅

What's The Name Music?

same bro

Cyno is one of my favorite characters, along with Kaeya and Diluc. But sadly, I don't have Cyno. 😢I'm saving to pull for him when he returns in future banners. 😊

@@ChibiYesi857a i got him so early when he got his rerun 🤗 his play style is so fun, i hope you get him early too. (For me it was only 30 pity, no guarantee. I was lucky with him🥹) His build is not complete, but i will farm more for him and i will definitly do it for him.😊

well, in his demo we can see him doing a big explosion like only the traveler, Scaramouche and some other strong characters did. He's definetly one of the strongest human in the game alongside with Shenhe, he even says it himself I think? Well I'm not sure if he actually says it, but he does say he's stronger than Al Aitham. I'm also very excited for his backstory, sadly it will probably be in a time limited event ☠️

@@estebanlacabane Oh he's definitely one of the strongest humans in the game. He quite literally has a god mode. He went up and seemed to not strain while fighting with Scaramouche and that's just with his vision, imagine if he went god mode. He's also probably the most feared person in Sumeru, so that should say a lot about how powerful he is. Also in his story quest, he captured what was it, 300 people in 2 days? Some absolutely insane number like that. When I heard him say he was going to do that, I was like, "Wait, is that for real?" and he actually delivered without getting hurt, like dayum. Not that I would consider it in the first place but I would DEFINITELY never commit a crime at the Akademiya with him as General. Also you're probably right, we'll only get it in a limited time event probably. UNLESS, they give Sumeru another area that's underground like Enkanomiya or The Chasm and it'll be all ancient ruins of King Deshret's civilization under the sand and we learn more about Cyno's god and probably what happened to him too. They had a world quest with Yelan, Itto, Yanfei and Kuki in it, I think it's plausible that it could happen again. That's what I'm hoping they'll do, at least, best case scenario. If that did happen I would like to learn more about Candace too, what her different colored eyes actually do, like some people say that she can tell the future with her amber one, or that she can control the sands, but we don't know if that's actually true. It's also said that she's descended from Deshret but I don't know if that's true for sure. Either way since her and Deshret come up together so often I feel like we would learn more stuff about Deshret with her in it

@@mittenvonscrufflears7233 yeah an underground map is definetly the best option for learning about Cyno and Candace's lore, they're both really mysterious so we'll probably wait a while tho. Hoyoverse is really good at gatekeeping things, but it's usually for the best. Like Scaramouche hasn't been playable for really long, but in counterpart when he finally came out as a playable character we got a lot of stuff about his story and even development where he tried to delete himself then accepted his "past life" and the bad things he has done. So yeah, I'm really excited about Cyno and Candace, hopefully it will be in a special area.

the dev had the inspiration from this or something?

​@@gwen.mp4 with how much screentime he got back in 3.x you can tell they like him a lot

@@gwen.mp4 nah dunno just rewatched this after the 4.6 trailer dropped

Ay I'm a big boy now I'm ready to leave ciao mamma ciao
