Arlecchino is many things – a father, a harbinger and the last descendent of the Crimson Moon Dynasty… which actually makes her an angelic vampire penguin.
I’m serious about the penguin part. The secret to the bloodline of the Crimson Moon and Khaenri’ah is connected to the story of a rather familiar penguin.

*NOTES & CORRECTIONS*
– Arylus pointed out that the line from A Drunkard's Tale, "what you call wine, we call the abyss" isn't quite so literal. Instead of calling out the abyss directly, it uses 渊源 (yuanyuan) which means Origin vs 深渊 (shenyuan) which is used for the Abyss.
So this is complicated, and I'm not really qualified to comment on intention of meaning here, but it doesn't really change the meaning too much. Hopefully someone with a deeper understanding of the linguistics here can add some clarity. From my understanding though, the "origin" in this case is like the "nothingness of the void" which I think still fits with our current concept of the abyss, and it would imply that the stuff inside of the abyss is "source material."
I'll update this note if/when I can get a better/clearer explanation.
I actually think she is in reference to Jack o Lantern.
Those little things are will o wisp. (Ignis Fatuus) Ignis Purgatorius.
Stingy Jack struck between world.
The knave in poker card are know as Jack.
Guess who wield the scythe?
Jack the ripper …. reaper (in some depiction) .
Scythe is use in harvest.
Arlecchino is also inspire by Vlad the Impaler (Dracula)
He is known for impale his opponent on the war ground and bath with their blood.
Arlecchino is try impale us with the spike that come up from the ground.
Arlecchino wings look like phoenix too.
Her throne look like those hand of the Archon.
I dont want Arlecchino to cry.
Like the prophecy of the mural.
She who sat on a throne weeping alone.
No wayyy you mentioned Harlequinade- i was researching Balanchine’s version yesterday because i know someone who was in it!!
I genuinely look forward to your videos ❤ i always learn so much
I love the connections you make to things many overlook
Like regardless of the theory being right or wrong i still learn historical & religious information because of you
I appreciate it ❤
Tl;Dr: Arlecchino is very good at Club Penguin.
PS the use of koopa bros ost is godlike
This theory is so good that I regret not making popcorn before hitting the play button.
Even arlechino's colour scheme is white black and blood like a fish hunter penguin 😅😅
also phobos is the greek god of fear (and hunger i think)
What’s black and white and red all over?
What does that scene between Ei and Yae Miko mean at the end of the irredescence festival mean?!?
hmm idk. why do I feel like some things feel.. pretty holey? not to mention Arlecchino, in the end, "drowns" anyway.
also we still need to find out about the 3rd descender and the totally missing 2nd descender.
Imagine the primordial one ran away from the conflict of the tayzzyroth and Ouroboros
HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT IS UP AND DOWN.
So irminsul is upside-down (like the hindu ashvatta tree) so celestia is downwards and the abyss is upwards
Seelies are both faeries and angels. Angels live in heaven (up) and faeries live underground (down)
And the abyss order are also angels and they live in the abyss which is (up)
And also in norse mythology there was a dragon , nidhogg, that chewed at the roots of ygddrasil and an eagle at the top of the tree.
Also the connection between dragons and faeries reminded me of maleficent.
This is a crack theory right?
I'm not that into lore but I can't help but be reminded of Demian by Herman Hesse when you mentioned two worlds! It probably doesn't mean anything but I find it interesting because Hesse was heavily inspired by Jung and gnosticism and those are things that Hoyo really likes to take from 🙂
I love like Arlecchino Penguin isn't clickbait. I love your brain so much, thank you for your hard work
Who else can start a video with "angel penguin vampire" and conclude it with a well-formed theory on the Moon Sisters, the Primordial One's human population project, Rhinedottir, seelies, and the dual effects of the curse put on Khaen'riahns?
25:23 so people of Teyvat have genetic mixed with dragons. So my theory what vidiyadhara are from Teyvat make sense OH MY
I am sat here playing the remuria quest just waiting for Ashikai to make a video on it cause I do not understand a single thing
The angel vampire part sounds about right, but the penguin part is a little interesting…
A theory so outrageous that I love it even more.
Genshin: doesn't she look like a spider?
Theorist: vampire penguin Nephilim
Ah one of my favorite current games pulling from my greatest artistic muse Blade Runner! Love to see it
Can someone clear something up about the Primordial One SPLIT himself into the 4 shades, why are they being referred to as separate beings. Did the Primordial not become the Shades from that point on after splitting?
