  1. If Kusanali isn't the Dendro Archon take this video as one way: the last part of the video will still be about the Dendro archon, Kusanali or otherwise. The last part of the video is reference to the dialogue Dain says.

  4. This isn't a theory, only a speculation I made based on what I see alone. If you've known about the anime Magi, I see a lot of resemblance in the concept between Genshin and Magi. So I will only derive from that 😀

    In Magi, they have a similar city called Magnostadt that is well known for it's Academia and is the city of scholars. They also have a retiring excellent student who is a witch (her name's Yamraiha btw), just like Lisa.

    Now, Magnostadt is a city of knowledge therefore they have amazing architectures and tech. The badside is, they use humans as their resource, extracting human life to power their amazing city and tech. Those poor people live underground as they power their city above. Nobody knows about this except for the high ranks and also of course, the headmaster of the Academia.

    Now, I know this sounds like a cheap reasoning but I think Sumeru is not gonna be too far off from Magnostadt. Sumeru is known to use knowledge as a resource and also we have Dottore who likes to do experiments on human life. We got Collei too who was the result of whatever happened in Sumeru.

    Again, this is only a very rough insight but.. IMO, I think the problem with Sumeru is that they are able to produce exotic products at the cost of human lives. That's why, they say the enemy of the God of Wisdom is wisdom itself.

  9. I personally think that Kusanali is going to have a monumental depression. Although I would find it strange that the archon called herself "lesser lord". 1 of 2 or is it a sign of respect or is an indication that there is a "greater lord" and is hiding (and is this the one who is depressed).

    Either way, I have no doubt that the concept "the curse of knowledge" will be something very present in Sumeru. The constant dichotomy of pursuing the advancement and development of knowledge while seeking to elude Celestia's judgment…

  15. I’d like to imagine the dendro archon is the most childish and stubborn. They choose to relish in their own greed and honor first before helping those in their nation..it’s that or they’re just scared of their responsibilities

  17. Things that i thought would be cool when Sumeru came out :
    1. A super plot twist that lesser lord kusanali is only a servant to the dendro archon that handles social matters, while the true archon was in hiding to continue his research like dendro slimes. (based on slimes are based on their archons powers)

    2. Dottore being the center main villain of Sumeru and maybe be a weekly boss or something.

    3. We get to meet collei again and maybe get her as a playable character.

    4. Baizhu, yao yao, and other dendro characters actually being accessible to play. And one of them will be free to get.

    5. Venus fly trap-like enemy for the rainforest area and maybe a sand dragon for the desert area.

    6. New seelie with green color ofc.

    7. New ways of transportation when roaming the desert to find oasis maybe.

  19. I have noticed that since the beginning we are meeting characters that were alive during the Archon War. Venti, later Zhongli, and also Ei, who fought along with her identical twin sister Makoto, who later became the Archon. Don´t be suprised if in Sumeru we end up meeting the og Dendro Archon or someone related to the og that was also alive during the Archon War.

  20. I’m pretty excited for Sumeru. Not gonna lie it’s mostly cause of Cyno his design is awesome. And I have seen theories on him and Razor being related because of how alike they look. It’s bound to be interesting nonetheless.

  23. It's fun to note that in the original text when Ganyu was talking about the dendro archon the pronouns remains neutral. They go out of their way to hide the gender of the archon or never confirm kusanali as the dendro archon. Hell they even go out of their way to add that kusanali's title is the god of flowers, the dialogue when yae was telling us about her could easily replace deity with archon to confirm it but she didn't. They're trying too hard to hide who is the dendro archon and I feel like this will play a part in the Sumeru arc.

  24. You know what I just thought about?
    Imagine we do something… ( I guess unspeakable would be the right word, not entirely sure though) in Sumeru on our quest for knowledge, and that leads the Hydro archon to judge us for whatever we did during the Fontaine arc

    man I should've saved that for the fontaine arc video but alas i just wanted to share
