It’s so strange to see how a 10 second Chess game just Spoiled the Entire Story of Genshin impact…

11:56 – chess set not chess piece*
Guys, i'm getting old T_T
.
Check out this theory on Bennett's REAL IDENTITY! : https://youtu.be/424NCQZJDBM
These videos are the reason why I love this game and this community so much.❤ such a vast world with limitless possibilities. So many characters and their individual and collective journeys. Genshin and one piece are just peak.❤
I’m going to be fine with whatever ending as long as Venti will not get hurt 😭
Impossible, teyvat will never win against the God of time, the God of death, the God of life, and the God of void/space
so basically genshin is a sequel to no game no life
imagine we need to play chess as the final boss fight in genshin
Whatever 😂
The foreshadowing in genshin lore is on the level of one piece fr
i also saw a theory where they talked about the loading screen, where the same chess pieces are next to each other, the odd one out being anemo. pyro,hydro the knights – anemo the queen – electro,dendro the bishops – cryo,geo the rooks
I know it is not true but…what if traveler is 10th harbinger
Love your videos, i hope the traveler will get the pyro gnosis if not i am sure he will be frozen the moment he step into snezhnaya
no , the electro gnosis WAS posessed by EI , she just gave it to miko when she didnt find any use for it
likely after crafting her puppet/body raiden shogun (and previously scaramuche)
wait can the traveller be a pawn? since they can be any piece just like how they could use any element? :0
the 8 pawns in game 6 could be the remaining 8 harbingers, although that would mean Pierro is not included
unless Capitano dies in Natlan but I doubt they'd permanently kill him
In My opinion, The Pawn is the most precious chess piece. It can be anything it wants to be (except the king)
That's why i think the Traveler is a.. or more THE Pawn and Maybe ( 12:11 ) Paimon is the King ?…..
And they shall all be devoured by the Blood Moon. The same phenomena that happens to appear during a total Lunar Eclipse kind of the one that happened in game during the Crimson Moon Dynasty. When Earth is positioned precisely between the Moon and Sun, Earth's shadow falls upon the surface of the Moon. So this takes place when humanity still stood a chance against Celestia as the Sun was still alive and well, …. Shadows dancing on the Moons surface would be interpreted as a play for someone that never experienced anything else, this is Plato's famous cave allegory. For someone that never witnessed anything else they would experience the shadows as reality or a movie that keeps repeating itself. The people that saw this happen could be interpreted as the audience. This is explained in Simulanka by the toy that becomes self aware of being part of a fairy tale. Or Kaeya explaining that you can step out and join the audience instead.
Shadows cannot exist without light but are unable to move on their own which is what constellations are made for. It is therefore possible that Rhinedottir is the shade of life or the shadow to mimic the properties of life. She wants to be able to create life but creates monsters instead. Sustainer of Principles the shadow of space tries to mimic a ordered world but ends up creating an upside down universe were the tree of life is turned upside down rooted to the Abyss instead of the Heaven creating a myriad of problems. The shadow of death Istaroth misinterpreting what time is and how it functions. Ultimately the sky named the Firmament in game has to be pierced in order for Teyvat to realise the truth. Experiencing being just a mirrored version of something greater could be interpreted as Hell and the firmament as the veil that obfuscates the truth as well as how many lives they have lived in Teyvat in different people. The archons are named after the Ars Goetia demons trying to keep order in their kingdom only they recently became aware that they are demons and not gods atoning for the sin that cost humanity their will. None of the archons care for their demon name and it is mostly said as a demeaning slur .The shades are trying to pursuit perfection or light but this is physically impossible as one cannot exist without the other.
I just wanna take a moment and thank you for all the kind feed back love you all
Most of my theories are derived from Ashikai, My name for now, Roozeveldt and other great content creators I follow
im lowkey just wondering if paimon has a place in this or if shes just gonna be there to just exist because she definitely has great significance other than being a simple "guide" in all this
2:22 I agree with this, but I believe the reason it disappears as if never there was to represent him erasing himself, and his existence from irminsul
I disagree, the traveler doesn't necessarily see celestia as an enemy, it's the siblings who does, and the traveler have consistently been shown to be mistrustful of the fatui, so a full on alliance is unlikely, and most importantly this theory doesn't account for the sibling.
Talking abt the traveler being the king piece reminded me of what was mentioned at the end of fountains quest, how the gnosis is the remains of the 3rd descender, and how the traveler is the 4th descender. And that the traveler has similar properties to the gnosis in that they interact with elements in interesting ways. The traveler could be the king piece after all as their body interacts with tevats elements similarly to the gnosis.
Why is everyone beefing with Celestia lol
What if the missing king piece can actually be Paimon???!! She is always with the traveler every time the traveler resonates with an element after touching a statue of the seven. She also has a crown-like piece on her head and her origins are still unknown. Maybe she is related to Celestia based off of her design? And also there are moments alluding that Paimon is secretly a goddess based off of some limited time events in the game. So maybe once the Fatui collected all of the gnosis, they would have Paimon reveal her identity so they can fulfill the missing piece they need!
Theory time, I might be wrong but this is just for fun afterall:
There is another candidate for the King piece Gnosis, Surtalogi, look closely at Skirk's dialogues and you'll know what I mean.
Skirk have seen a Gnosis before, but the question is how? Since we knows where all of the Gnosis (except for Cryo) have been for the last 500 years, in their respective nations and that Skirk spend at most 500 years living in the Abyss with Surtalogi, so how in the world did she managed to "seen" a Gnosis? In the Abyss mind you, not only that she said that any informations she tell us she got it from Surtalogi, so is the sight of the Gnosis also the same since it is also a piece of information?
Also given the fact that Surtalogi (or Surt) title in Norse mythology is "Harbinger of Ragnarok" and the Fatui Project Stuzha being link to Fimbulwinter which is the first sign of Ragnarok, it's pretty on the nose if you asked me.
Surtalogi was the one who burn the world during Ragnarok in Norse mythology, we are missing a number 10 in the Fatui's seat, number 10 is often represent as "perfection" (Surtalogi is pursuing a similar form of "perfection" like Gold), number 10 also represent the world.
"Sorry… to also have you shoulder the grievances of the world.
Since you could endure my bitter cold, you must have the desire to burn?
Then, burn away the old world for me."
—The Tsaritsa, Shivada Jade Gemstone
What make me feel weird about this is the fact that Dainsleif most likely knew about project Stuzha and maybe even Surtalogi's involvement, yet he does nothing about it.
Collected Miscellany Childe:
"An icy storm is starting to blow towards the other nations. Brace yourselves, Teyvat is about to get cold."
-Dainsleif
So here's the thing, either Surtalogi have the King Piece or the Tsaritsa just give her Gnosis to him for some unknown reasons.
This is just a theory afterall, a game theory.
As much as we consider Gnosis having powers, we still have 6 Archons in the game having their elemental authorities.
Geo one is very suspected to be a descender or higher being than Archon, Anemo one hides his powers of wind and time and links to Istaroth (one of 4 shades) to the point that his Story Quest no.2 is under Hoyo's arrest, Electro one openly prepares for upcoming war, Dendro one still promised us to clarify who are other descenders.
Archons and their uprising against Celestia will be important too, not only Gnosis.
I saw someone say in the comments that if you put chess game no. 1 against an AI, by killing signora (the black pawn), the AI (celestia) loses that game.
Entire story of Genshin Impact, or entire story of the Teyvat chapter? remember, Teyvat is just the first main chapter of Genshin.
Hot take: The Fatui aren't truly evil. They are out to "help" the world, but on their own terms and by their own beliefs.
But there's a problem…. The Traveler's data is not in Irmansul. We're not part of Teyvat, we're not the ones being used as a pawn…but we are playing the game. We sided ourselves with the Archons. And sure, you can argue that Raiden isn't on our side during the fight against LA Signora, but she would eventually join us. That's been the whole game this time, the side of the Fatui, wanting the Gnosis against the side of Traveler and friends, the Traveler being a bystander fighting alongside the Archons. This theory makes so much sense when you mentioned Scaramouche. He erased himself from Irmansul, a place that the Traveler isn't recorded in, Scara doesn't show up again, but Hat Guy does.
But the Fatui does still need a king. And they know of a potential candidate, recorded in Irmansul and we're gonna help them get them. Looking through the Travail trailer, you can see our various potential helpers and friends through the regions, and for Snezhnayah it shows Pulcinella, a seemingly random person until we get to Winter's Lazzo, that reveals he's a Harbinger.
In Snezhnayah, we will team up with the Fatui, we will go and get our potential King piece, the Abyss Prince/Princess, who will ascend to the throne, our Abyss Sibling.
It makes so much sense with how the story in Natlan has shifted heavily to the fight against the Abyss, and why stop suddenly at just this region just to skip over it until Khaenri'ah story. The ball will continue rolling, the story will shift heavily to the Abyss attacking Snezhnayah, wanting the Gnosis power for themselves to finally fight Celestia, but we'll save our sibling from their clutches, free them, and with the Gnosis, ascend them.
Remember, checkmate is not where the game ends. Even after winning against the Abyss, and fighting Celestia later on, we would still have a bigger threat on the horizon.
I think the king could be Dain or our sibling, and rather that traveler is a pawn as they can gain the powers of all the other pieces.
10:06 It is funny how everyone says that the Fatui will help us. But going through the trailer several times, I never see a single scene where they fight beside us, only that they run towards the battle.
They could after all use the situation and attack us too.
The chance is low, but not zero.
what if the king piece was a secret gnosis for the light element? or maybe whatever dainsleif's element is?
I thought game chess piece similarly KH3 of Kingdom Hearts.
Having made a similar theory myself just before Fontaine released, tying each match to the same story arcs as you do and using the events in the game as an analogue for events in the story, I’m a bit dubious of this method when trying to predict events yet to come. My predictions for Fontaine utterly failed because the information I was pulling upon to make them didn’t include the twists present in act 5 I had no way of knowing about beforehand. I think this theory falls into the same trap, trying to preemptively predict which parts of each game are significant when there are likely still 3 major twists yet to come in the ending acts of Natlan, Snez, and Khaenriah, and each story arc able to take hundreds of different paths that are simply impossible to predict.
On an unrelated note, I strongly disagree that the kings and queens are swapped on the first board. Not only would this create so many complications for how that position would arise on a normal board (the kings would be waaaay too close for a board with that many major pieces still in play, and why would each queen be trapped in the corner like that?) as well as it making the move we see in-game by white be a complete blunder since either the white queen can take the hanging knight with no consequences or white can threaten the extremely vulnerable king as opposed to the queen with plenty of escape options, Venti’s actions in-game match that of the white king on the Kasparov board pretty darn well. Ignoring the Fatui board, the white king moves twice in the entire game – once to castle and then another to get out of check. Most of the game it’s sitting behind a layer of pawns not doing anything, but when it gets put in check all their major pieces are either gone or too far away to protect it. However, attacking the king to go for checkmate is a blunder for black and directly and immediately leads to the capture of the black pawn and the surrender of the black king. That is, attacking Venti to make the round end leads to the death of Signora and sets the Fatui back.
I cannot stress this enough though, this all breaks down the moment you swap the kings and queens, for many reasons beyond even those I outlined above. If someone asks me for them all I might drop a second mini-essay for them but I think this comment is long enough already. I’m not saying this method of analysis is worthless, I’m going to be revising my own chess theory sometime soon when I have a moment to sit down with it, but having previously overanalyzed these games I’m not a fan of the conclusions drawn here.
10:44 hold up.
The idea of Natlan people being dragons makes so much sense on things with Natlan when the area was considered the land of dragons but so far we got certain creatures that may or may not fit that description.
Also the idea of elemental uhhh basis and dragons are previously a thing no? Natlan is the one area where people seem to be in tribes which uphold a bit of elemental standing, even though the characters can wield other visions.
I thought maybe the King are the twins so if one of them dies the others twin is used for the Plan and the 8 pawn could then be the Abiss with dain ofc
5.1 archon quest: capitano🤝mavuika
or maybe paimon is the king. I think paimons design has king motifs. and has the same justification as traveler. however i think itd be way more interesting to have the player be the king piece
I have a theory on why it happened.
It's because the Pyro element will only be unlocked in the final chapter of the story
When the Pyro Archon will give the Gnosis to the traveller and not to the Fatui.
Because if the Fatui have the last Gnosis, what is there to stop Tsaritsa's Plan of Rebelion against the Heveanly principles.
Also, it will move the story forward for the next nation, Schneznaya if the Traveler has the Pyro Gnosis by the end the Fatui will focus solely on the Traveler to get it no matter what and what a better advantage in the Home nation of the Cyro Archon.
The biggest evidence that I have was from the very beginning when Dainsleif explained the Nation of War is. "THE PYRO ARCHON SHARED HER SECRETS WITH THE TRAVELLER".
And to my understanding with that level of trust to be able to sharre her deepest secrets to the traveller has a high chance of the Pyro Archon to rely and depend on Aether/Lumine for the future of the people in Natlan.
Chess game? Let magnus carlsen plays it.
