In this video, I describe how the chess theory can be used to predict future archons and their gnosis. I hope you enjoy the video 😀

The biggest issue with this theory is the King Piece. A pawn can never become the king but everything else.
But then again there's a line "Teyvat has it's own laws."
So if Teyvat's laws allow for a pawn to be a king then this theory can be true.
The theory with the player being the pawn makes sense since in the we will be reunited quest we can see our sibling has the glowing parts of the clothes glowing white
8th probably dainslef power
I can never be this smart…
if this would turn true, then the anime "No game No Life" would be a great infulence to this (as they hav a very similar situation that is canon to them like this)
Chess come with two player right, what if the player one is the traveler with other nation or archon, fight with player two or the traveler twins with the abyss
I can expect in end game will be epic, like aether shout and say "yibambe".
rook, knight, bishop, queen, king, pawn :- there are only 6 types of shapes. are you suggesting that there will be duplicate shapes for few archons?
Your theories are always on point
God this gave me goosebumps
Now i can feel like this game as a story similar no game no life where the race piece is gnosis here. And that anime is best and genshin so far is mega best so i knw the story will be a W. Szehnaya collecting all gnosis to challenge the unknown god like in ngnl sora nd shiro where to collect the race piece to challenge one true god
I always assumed the 8th element is somehow connected to the Abyss, but then I realized even its creatures use rather basic elements. Dainsleif and Unknown God have some mysterious powers that look so different from each other (red cubes, blue fire/spirit) but could be of the same type. Both of them + some others have stars on their capes. All I can think of is some kind of Energy or Space. Don't know what meaning is behind "power from beyond".
I don't really remember the details, but I wonder if people from Khaenri'ah had some elemental powers too or just alchemy and their inventions.
The King chess piece reminds me of electro archon because as we know the king can move only by one step which means it's kinda slow like the changes in Inazuma because of eternity ideal and also that the king has to survive the longest i mean it can't get killed since if its killed the end of game like baal that stays in here euthymia to live the longest
Ah yes pawn that can be anything it want to be either a Queen, King, Rook or Bishop but not King? But traveller can use electro
What does the game mean for being a pawn anyway? Copying it's moves (element or copying it's master itself(archon)
Also humanity represent perseverance which might be one of the rook's representation
bro chess game
Hello cat! I just wanna say that I love your theory videos, all of them are spot on! Now that you shared another theory, I don't doubt this will be canon either, have a nice day! 🙂
There gnosis's being all chess pieces makes the theory that the archons are just pawns to Celestia seem like a possibility idk this is probably way off.
Pawn = traveler
Other pawn = sibling
1st player = Order
2nd player = Chaos
Paimon might be the king piece idk maybe
Ironically while the queen is the strongest piece in chess, Venti is the weakest archon we have seen so far BUT i do think the anemo archon was more powerful back in the days as his mark on the map is the biggest of the 3 archons we met so far.
if their's an eighth element for khaenri'ah it has to be metal just like the ruin guards
The unknown archon obviously timmy
The Electro Gnosis is likely the second Rook. The reason why it's in the King's position is because "castling" allows a rook and a king piece to swap places if they haven't already moved. So in a way, if the pawns are Vision-holders and the king's pawn is the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, the Raiden Shogun effectively abandons her pawns (Vision Hunt Decree) to be literally closer to the Heavenly Principles.
It makes sense the king being represented by the god of eternity
And also the knight being the god of war because besides pawn he is the only one who can be played in the first round
Theory. In chapter 1, Liyue/Human doesn’t need it’s archon anymore. So, is that maybe the reason the eighth piece rook doesn’t have an archon because Human don’t need an archon.
There great memories is playing chess
I don't think Ei has king as her gnosis. King is most important piece, if it gets destroyed game is over. King piece suits Celestia bc I'd Celestia is destroyed Archon's lose their power.
Ei's piece might be rook just like zhongli's bc they both use polearm.
If the queen piece says it's the strongest why does venti say he is the weakest archon out of the 7 as he thinks controlling his nation will affect his ideal or something but I do think his powerful as he completely reshaped monstant long time ago then ig his the strongest lmao
MiHoyo been real quiet when this thing dropped
will genshin be the continuation of NGNL season 2 for the chess piece
