My theory regarding Capitano's identity gonna be the fact that in Commedia the stock character of Capitano is known to be a Spanish during the age of exploration, thus he might be a conquistador. Keep that in mind and look at history, there's one Spaniard conquistador that was known to wreak havoc all across the Latin America – Hernan Cortes
He toppled the Aztec in under a year with horses, gunpowder, and a bit of divide et impera tactics of pitching the tribes against one another. To top all that, there's an anecdote that Cortes, in order to persuade the Aztecs to join him, propagandize himself as the incarnation of the God Quetzalcoatl
This is in line with possible plot point that Genshin's Capitano loosely based off of Hernan Cortes. And a way to promote himself on his way to the Gnosis, he might as well told the people of Natlan thay he's a reincarnation of Natlan's past god and/or hero. This bit is proven by the fact that he's accompanied by Ororon, and this bit also fulfills the stock character of Capitano's most memorable trait, that he's a braggart – all talk no proof
And also his lizard/reptilian/dragon scale is something interesting. I have a theory that Genshin might also tried to incorporate the real-life discussion regarding the true nature of a dinosaur, that there's a long-standing debate are they reptilian or are they avian. Genshin tried to find a middle ground in the case of this debate that their version of the dinosaurs (the dragons) are both reptilian and avian.
This is apt, because in most mythology, reptiles and aves are known to be archenemy of one another (Marduk with wings against Tiamat, Garuda against Naga in Indian myth, Apep against Ra)
With that in mind, the battle between Mavuika as Phoenix against Capitano with scale is something that's too big to miss, it's literally reptiles against aves all along just like any other mythology.
Tl;dr Capitano is Hernan Cortes, tried to convince the natives that he's Quetzalcoatl, but he's the reptilian version instead of avian version of the real world Quetzalcoatl
If they pull a nother not the real archon plot it would be a bit anoying cus they just did that doing it again would be not that interesting
It would be kind of lame if we had another case of Archon-not-Archon
I dont think that us not being able to resonate with statue is because of an issue with the archon, it might be more related to the pyro dragon since traveler's abilities are usually more akin to the dragon of that element (except electro cuz that dragon is MIA, but even there traveler's abilities aren't really anything like Raiden's)
I think she is the children of murata
In the manga venti has say that the Children of Murata are a clan from Natlan that have "fiery red hair
I absolutely LOVE the way you pronounce everyone's names
Are we certain the scales aren’t just a design element of his outfit?
We saw the dethroning of the hydro archon in Fontaine. So maybe we will see someone become the new pyro archon.
Isn't the one who has the scarlet eyes the one entonbed with the primal fire tho ?
Oh heard that Mavuika could be the sovereign because she turned to a phoenix ?…. She could just be pretending to be an archon and that her power is not enough to save natlan…😅 thus she wants to resurrect the real archon instead? …
Ahh I'm even more excited for Natlan now!!!
What if it’s Bennett who became the vessel for xabalanque we know that he was first pyro archon And if we think about restructuring than isn’t it strange that a baby from Natlan just happens to be there I think he was trying to break free from cycle of recreation of his body but he failed and we know about benny having bad luck there is something wrong think about it it doesn’t make any sense for a baby to be in a place like benny was he is xabalanque
I'm betting it on the theory that they can call upon old heroes "old names" and that Mavuika is a phoenix, those sun rays on her design could be feathers 😅
Idk if this is too obvious no one mentioned it or yall missed it , when they said all the nation memories at any given moment i think they're referencing the leylines , which are basically the memories of the land , exactly like we have seen in inazuma .
Ps : we also know the abyss now has the loom of fate which can alter the leylines not only influence them .
I feel like the one that would be sacrificed to resurrect Xablanque would be Mavuika
WHY IS NOONE TALKING ABT MILEY IN 2:28 😭😭😭
still convinced the lavawalker is Bennett reborn (he was found as a baby completely alone in the middle of the mare javari)
5:29 Not the Miley Cyrus eye that looks like the elephant in the barbie😭😭😭
ancient names is the most convincing evidence for the childe descender theory
damn i only care about primogems and new characters
i dont think munata refers to mu-natlan, as murata or munata both have roots as name in african or oceanian culture(with both being the culture that inspire natlan; murata as an african name, munata as a name found in both africa & papua new guinea). also, the supposed 'children of munata/murata' all have the traits of a fiery red hair, which we havent see much from natlan character as of now.
imo, its impossible for munata to be munatlan = children of natlan as what the tweet claimed, it is more probable that both munata or murata served as a name.
Ill be honest, rewatching Minsleif prediction of Fontain, she was wrong about almost evrething. I still like her a lot for her respect to the lore, but her predictions and guesses are mostly wrong. The best one was is CatWithBlueHat till now
About the name Murata, if it's an ancient name than there's a chance it was destroyed and that's why Vanessa didn't know it
What if the dragon from dragonspine is the pyro dragon? It would fit with the story from the event. That one day, durin will be resurrected. They could make it a thing during natlan.
capitano might be the blood stained knight and also someone from natlan, im not sure who though, also im pretty sure statues of the seven are connected via the ley lines, like how we could hear rukkhadevata's voice from the sumeru statues, so i think the statue's in natlan not working right is because of the abyssal corruption, which might be worse than is was in sumeru, rather than something being wrong with the archon. good theory though, and i wonder how the previous wars and rebelions will play into the story.
Wait they put Tupac in Genshin. We got legendary rappers in Genshin before GTA 6
"Yae miko is the real archon because the archon statue has hair" rejoining the genshin discourse 3 nations later
All I want for him to be hot like wrio
If this is true then i might be right about my own theory for her which i spotted after watching the teaser.
Capitano is da fuqin cryo sovereign dragon
Did anyone else notice the 8 pointed star around the prmyro archons neck? Is there any chance she's involved with khaenri'ah
I need a video on everything we know about the travelers sibling😩
