Story Teaser: The "Divine" Will | Genshin Impact 

scaramouche: "I will scrub away every last trace of human emotion" also scaramouche: *has the most emotional voice in the game*

its really sad how his last straw was the death of a child and how he saw it as betrayal. it really shows that as a sentient artificial being who for some reason has human emotions, he didn’t understand how to process the grief and emotions he felt after their death leading him to snap and choosing to erase all his emotions instead. he was basically a kid that didn’t understand how to deal with all the negative things that was happening to him

Funny thing, he didn't hate these three people. He hated his own weakness.

Thank you for all the support. ❤

his voice actor really nailed it, you can feel the emotions thorugh the screen. the way he said 'my mother' got me crying.

Gods his VOICE when he said "my mother" 😭😭😭 Scara's VA is insane omg The music paired with this is also friggin amazing wth

0:55 it’s interesting that Scaramouche also thought of himself as a child “exactly like me” “a fledgling barely out of the nest” Poor baby

Everybody mostly talking about the delivery of the word "mother" but WHAT ABOUT HIS SLIGHT CHUCKLE at 1:26 when he said he laughs at the world. THAT WAS SO GOOD!!!!!

The way he pronounced "my mother" is heartbreaking

His voice actor did an amazing job with the voice acting, you could feel every bit of emotion in his lines

Out of all the limited characters, his story and lore is the most complete. Hoyo has been sprinkling his lore since the beginning of the game until present. The best character to have a lore.

i know all of us are crying over ''my mother'' and ''my friend'' but lets not sleep on ''HE BROKE HIS PROMISE TO ME.'' his voice actor did a fantastic job.

scara's voice actor did SUCH an amazing job going from emotion to emotion in such a short amount of time. he truly took us on a journey from scara's beginning to the present!

The way he said 0:28 "My mother.." and the way he said "My....friend..." was so good!!! His voice actor did a really good job at portraying all the grief, and pain, he went through. you can sense all his emotions by just listing to his voice!

Honestly, I can understand how he feels. He just exists, yet all these bad things keep happening to him for no reason. He trusts no one, purely because he's scared of being hurt and betrayed over and over again. He's lost, and he wants someone help him.

this guys voice actor is absolutely insane. dont know who he is but i wanna shake this mans hand edit: also, they way he said "So i said good riddance! i denounce the world, and laugh in its face" gave my goosebumps goosebumps

Omg Patrick Pedraza did an amazing job voicing Scaramouche! The way he said “my mother” was so heartbreaking. I love the way his voice gradually became angrier and loathsome after each “betrayal.” He’s definitely one of my fave VAs in Genshin rn.

His voice actor did such a good job, how he went from heartbreak to pure evil, the breathing placement, and the way the said “my mother” was so heartbreaking LIKE BRO I NEED HIM

He was a "failure" because of his emotions that made his "mother" discard him, honestly, it's really sad. He's like a baby who's recently born, or a child who has never been taught by any parent. He was directly and immediately exposed to betrayals, abandonment, and loss. Imagine opening your eyes to the world and all you got was pain, not an ounce of love or guidance. :[ I heard he's playable, I hope he still retains his personality or something similar but at the same time I want him to be free from all his grief, experience the world with guidance and see the beautiful things.

You can see that scaramouche acts and thinks like a child, he sees the world as black and white and the attempts to not hurt him or keep him safe as betrayel, he couldn't understand or cope with his grief só he saw the death of the child as a betrayel, same with Ei setting him free or his family sacrificing themselves for him. He clearly had the mentality of a child, new to the world that can't understand his emotions or what other people do

Give Patrick Pedraza an Oscar for this high quality voice acting... his delviery gave me chills.

I love how his voice sounds kind of sad in the beginning, but slowly transmitions into a more angry and vengeful tone and then to a sinister and evil one. Patrick, you're doing such a great job voicing scara! :D

Imagine when playing co-op the phrase when you get to low HP he will say something like “No, not again!” Like he is afraid of losing he’s only friend

The first: ei made him and left him the golden feather which proves his identity as her son The second: before niwa died, he told someone to give his heart to scara. But turns out it was his retainer’s heart. Scara felt like he was tricked and betrayed by niwa so he ripped it out from his chest. The third: scara and the boy made a promise to live together happily but the boy died of tatarigami.

man his voice actor did such a great job!! the breathing placement?? the emphasis?? switch from heartbreak to pure evil??

One of the best cutscenes in the game. When the music at 1:18 matches the tone of his feelings and the flames resembling his cataclysmic awakening. So chilling. The lines were perfectly delivered.

Being betrayed by your parent hurts.

'The first to betray me was a God, My Creator... My Mother' 7 yrs old me when mom picked me 2 hrs late after school.

The way he said “My mother…” truly shows that he wasn’t just a cruel shell of a personality.. he really had emotions! I’m super excited for his upcoming story quests, it’s going to be gold!

Really well done. How he said "my mother" gave me such sad vibes. You could hear his sadness and pain. The voice actor has done a fantastic job!

“at first I lol’ed, then I serioused.”

I put on headphones and took a closer listen. In the first few seconds I could hear the pain and sadness is his voice. It wasn't all that subtle, either. Then, I could hear a slight bit of hopelessness and then anger, after anger, I could hear evil. WHY IS THE VOICE ACTOR SO GOOD?

Like Mother like Son, the two reacted in an extreme way due to grief.

This scene legit gave me goosebumps all over, and the way he says mother, oh goodness😭 scara’s voice actor did so well and amazing job to the animators and rest of the genshin impact team! You guys outdid yourselves on this one🫶🏻 Keep up the great work!!

I’ve watched this like 10 times and bawled every time 😭😭I’m saving everything for when this boy comes home

The way he said "my mother" make my heart tear in pieces💔

I watched this now five times in a row, the last two times with my headphones because the way Scaramouche's VA says "my mother" and "good riddance" just pierces through my heart each and every time I listen to it. I'm all emotional - it's been a while I wanted to play with a character this much

Omg finally been waiting for the official release of Hoyo of this scene... The VA really nailed Scaramouche's feelings here... I will never recover from this

Coming back to this after 3.3, and wow. It's even more sad now that we know more about what happened. I still can't believe that guy is Niwa and not Katsuragi. For the longest time we've thought Niwa wasn't a person and it was Katsuragi's family name lmao.

"Polluted by crimes and torn by the bitterest remorse, where can I find rest but in death?"

Literally each line is voice acted so well, the English VA did a great job, the part of "my mother" then "my friend" and even other lines show a lot emotion

This is now officially my favourite cut-scene

When you find a voice actor that absolutely brings a character to life ;-;. I almost started crying when he said "my mother". The sheer agony in his voice 😭

Can we agree he has the BEST STORY EVER i can definitely see a spin off about him , his story made as an oav we still need more details bc damn few quests couldn't truely explain what he went through i love his psycho era he DELIVERED i love how he portrayed mental illness perfectly , and most of all i love how sasssssyyy he is he has the most relatable personality ❤ kudos to whoever made scara a character and playable you are a genius

Really nice look at Scaramouche's backstory and his opinion on the world. Great job Hoyoverse!

I admit that I never liked him, but his backstory is so tragic. The way he said "my mother" right before he get abandoned just Heartwrenching to say the least. Even then he tried to form bonds, twice, and he lose both of them. Now i can understand why he became so cruel and callous. He felt that the world keeps on betraying him.

I love scara so much and knew his lore even before this, but NOTHING could've prepared me for this scene. all the emotions, the music, the intensity... The VA did an amazing job as always, he portrayed Scaras emotions so well, especially during the "...my mother" part

Going back here after 3.3 quest makes everything clear now. AND GOD AM I CRYING SO HARD AGAIN

Moral of the story is don't throw away your dolls especially if they're alive

I like the parallel between Scaramouche and Nahida, both have been discarded by the people closest to them for 500 years. And yet nahida still choose to believe in humans and the world, while Scaramouche chose to resent them entirely

This is truly one of the best cutscenes I have ever seen in Genshin. They way every betrayal progressively breaks Scara, and then delivers the emotional gut punch. We empathize with him, yet are also able to understand his incomprehension towards emotions through the presentation. It’s simply brilliant. Not to mention the delivery. This cutscene single-handedly made me fall in love with the character that I was pretty indifferent about. Amazing.

Did anybody else cry after watching this 🤧

Scara and his story is becoming the best moments in the games history. When I watched this and the "I see you" scene I had goosebumps all over

"My creator... My mother..." AHHHH, THIS IS THE BEST, I'M CRYING WHEN HE SAID IT, it's so heartbreaking.

Baby come home I will heal your broken heart

"How many times have you watched this?" me: yes

Cool cutscene, its interesting to see the diference between perspectives of Raiden and Balladeer, because she thought she gave him freedome to live life the way he want, but he took it as a betray and that he isnt worthy for her

The voice actor, truely did a good job at conveying emotions that The Balladeer expresses.

1:03 His smile hurts me. IT HURTS SO MUCH.

I wanna give him a hug 😭

“My mother” and “So I said good riddance!” actually changed me as a person. His voice acting in this scene gave me so many feels, good job!

Scara‘s english va did such an amazing job. Probably one of my favorites alongside Albedos.

everyone is talking about the "my mother" part but not enough people are talking about "i denounce the world and laugh in its face" THAT LISTLESS CHUCKLE. THE MOCKINGLY CARELESS WAY HE SAID "so i said good riddance". JESUS CHRIST THIS IS PHENOMENAL VOICE ACTING 😭

Now coming back to this after the teaser, i can literary understand it better than before.

I didn't expect to be sad while playing the archon quest. Man has went through so much, I hope he finds his happiness soon 😭😭😭

I appreciate Scara's VA so much. He does such a great job.

2:05 ok you can stop with the menacing smirk now

My god… what an amazing character. Truly the pinnacle of design, development, characterization and voice acting. THIS is art.

This cutscene was so heartbreaking and you can hear his grief and almost crying at the, "My mother." The VA did so good with his character! Can't wait for Scaramouche waiters to have him in their teams! SCARA NATION, THE 2 YEARS OF HIM JUST APPEARING IN SHORT SCREEN TIME AND NOW HE'S THE STAR OF EVERY PATCH WILL BE RELEASED! THE WAIT IS OVER!

“The first to betray me was a god, my creator… my mother” BYE IM CRYING 😭😭😭

I miss the feeling of watching this cutscene for the first time.

Isn't it interesting how Ei wasn't able to deal with her grief and Scara has the same problem? I hope they will meet and talk it out but I guess that would take the drama out of their story. Scara needs help but he turned to the wrong people.

The saddest part is that he thinks his Mom abandoned him for being weak, when in fact Ei realized he was too emotional to play the Puppet role, so she let him free when she could have easily destroyed him (Something that Yae Miko even suggested).

hearing he says "mother" "my family" "my friend" sounds really heartbreaking, now i understand why he is like that. but all this time, he doesnt really need gnosis but a love of a mother, family and a friend to be by his side.

The way his tone changed when he said "....my mother" 0:27, I felt that, really my heart broke pleaseee. We finally saw his most awaited backstory; even the death of the child he thought was a betrayal caused he didn't keep his promise, then he finally snapped. It's so heartbreaking. Scaramouche was so gentle and innocent with those smiles I cry. This cutscene is just full of emotions, the music, the art and VA really delivered i'm speechless.

Why everytime my game freezes whrn this animation comes 😢 i have to rewatch it every single time in RU-vid

AFTER HE SAID "my mother... " I STARTED CRYING

1:44 this scene shows a lot, the setting is clearly Inazuma yet it is snowy, suggesting that Scaramouche turned to the Fatui in Sneznhaya, hence the snow. Additionally, he transitions from his Inazuma look to the one we see now, absolute attention to detail.

I'll never forget this cutscene. I love it sm. The voice acting, the music, the animation, the feelings this cutscene has in general is incredible. I love him sm.

patrick pedraza knew rent was DUE. he put so much emotion into scaramouche...

The fact that He called Ei "mother" is legit painful. He feels abandoned and rightfully so. But I don't think taking the Gnosis will solve his problems. In the artifact description It is said that the first time He got the Gnosis inside (when Ei put it) He shed tears. I don't think the Gnosis is the "purely divine" thing He thinks it is. Or at least something will not exactly go he envisioned. He wants to get rid of all his feelings but that is not the right way to deal with your problems

I cried when he said "My Mother" The voice actor did such a great job~! You could hear every bit of emotions he felt.....

Scaramouche's voice actor did such an amazing job, you can hear the emotion in his voice

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landside, No escape from reality Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to Me, to me Mamaaa, Just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, Now he's dead Mamaaa, life had just begun, But now I've gone and thrown it all away Mama, oooh, Didn't mean to make you cry, If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters Too late, my time has come, Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all The time Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go, Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth Mama, oooh I don't want to die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all. I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango! Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me Galileo, Galileo Galileo, Galileo Galileo, Figaro - magnificoo I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me He's just a poor boy from a poor family, Spare him his life from this monstrosity Easy come, easy go, will you let me go Bismillah! No, we will not let you go (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let me go) Will not let you go (Let me go)(Never) Never let you go (Let me go) (Never) let you go (Let me go) Ah No, no, no, no, no, no, no Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, For meee So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye So you think you can love me and leave me to die Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby, Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here Nothing really matters, Anyone can see, Nothing really matters, Nothing really matters to me Any way the wind blows...

Scaramouche’s ENG VA is Patrick Pedraza! He is doing such an amazing job in this performance 😭

Calling the death of a child a betrayal really shows how messed up in the head he is and how he needs someone to teach him human emotions 💔

The way he said "my mother" made me love him. He has my heart, pls I wanna see more of u

I miss when this was new

It's hard to dislike a character if we know why they are that way that they are, especially if it's for a good reason, Scaramouche being no different. Hoyo really treating us with these visuals and amazing voice acting.

the word “ mother “ makes me so sad and heartbreaking , its so beautiful. the animation when Scaramouche put the hat as a kid is sooo good and the transition is amazing

man the voice acting is so good i really can’t stop watching this over and over again, the delivery of the lines with emotion in EVERY WORD.. i feel it in my whole chest. thank you patrick pedraza for your amazing work🙏

dont worry we love you scara

at the end he basically act as human...fill with rage. His emotions and desire for revenge and 'to end it all' act basically shows that he could never rid of his humanly emotions. well I'm to excited to see ei's pov and what her true feelings for her puppet

SCARA MY BOY 😭 the way he said “my mother,” and “he broke his promise to me” ugh,, so good. His VA did a really great job!!

Ever since the "Inversion of Genesis", my thoughts about this cutscene have changed A LOT, yet every ounce of pain I felt ever since I first saw it still remained up 'til now

I wasn't in Scara's huge fanclub and was kinda neutral, but THAT voice acting and (and beautiful visualization) did a thing for me, I really start to get into his character Genshin recruited some pearls recently in terms of VA - Cyno, Dottore, Scara made me speechless with their voices (same thing happend for me with Dottore - va and some sick design made me actually interested in an already well known character i was neutral about before)

the way he says "my mother" 💔💔

The voice acting was really amazing. I love him even more

Patrick Padraza deserves a raise

The background music is the same that plays in the scene when Nahida takes the gnosis…
