Cinematic was dope
Thanks more videos Rogers!
So, To give a clear explenation to what happened.
The Original Knave, who's title was "Mother" was the owner of the House of the Heart. Peruere (Arlecchino) was one of the children. "Mother" acted very nicely and gentle. The story at the beginning is the ritual to become "King", while we don't have an explanation, it seems to be different from becoming the next owner of the Orphanage. But it works as follows: Every kid will be taught and raised to become fighters, then they will fight to the death and the winner will be crowned as "King".
This is an English translation thing, but when Clervie (Pink Haired girl) is all bandaged up Peruere asks "Do mothers normally argue with their daughters" The actual translation should've been something along the lines of "Do biological mothers normally act like this with their daughters" Which confirms to us that Clervie is the previous Knave's biological daughter. Clervie ignores the question for obvious reasons, and then makes that beautiful promise to Peruere.
Then we skip to the end of the Ritual. Clervie appears to be stabbed by Peruere's blade, but her words and the pose they're in makes it seem like something else is happening. It's highly implied that Clervie actually purposefully ended her own life to make Peruere win and become "King" her saying "I'm sorry (cuz she couldn't keep their promise) Thank you (likely because she's free from her "Mother") " and the weird angle of the sword are a clear sign that this is the case.
At that point it should've been over. Peruere won, so she would be crowned as the new "King" but of course, she wasn't happy with that outcome, so she decided to kill the current Knave, "Mother".
Another thing to note is that right before their battle, when "Mother" talks about the flower, it's implied she's referring to her daughter, which makes her an shitter individual.
During the fight you can actually see how powerful Peruere is, as every one of her steps and attacks break the ground, and "Mother" is clearly struggling, until she gets a good hit in.
Then, Peruere sees the flower, and decides to fully embrace the Curse's power, making quick work with "Mother". Another translation mishap, but again nothing super context changing but instead of "My Awnser is no" the actual line in CN-JP is something along the lines of "You're not good enough" likely refering to "Mother" saying she would guide her to become the one true "King".
After that Arle gets arrested for killing a Harbinger, but soon gets to take her place.
At the end when we see her meet that orphan kid (who i believe is just some random kid, nobody specific) she says "I will be a strict, unemotional Father" , This is likely due to her view of "Mother". "Mother" acted gentle, and nicely, she was sweet and kind when in reality she was an awful and spiteful person, who hated her own daughter. Arlecchino didn't want to become like her, so instead she decided to act strict and unemotional, when in reality she probably truly cares about all the Children of the Ophanage, and assumed the title of "Father" to not be connected to "Mother".
One last thing, in the 4.6 Livestream we hear Arlecchino say "I want you to become the new King of the House of the Heart" refering to Lyney.
I believe they're messing with us. The ritual is likely different and would involve protecting your loved ones and working togheter instead of killing each other ruthelessly.
This is the end of my Ted Talk, thanks for reading
Gotta leave my like and comment to support Roger D. Goat!
Thanks for posting this reaction since i couldn't watch the livestream earlier. So hyped for 4.6 and all it has to offer
I think the red hair girl runs into Arlecchino sword on her own to end her own life. At the start it is implied that to choose a king the children must kill each other .
Arlecchino is kinda in a shocking state you clearly see
I was disappointed that there hasn't been any Dainleifs quest yet for this region though this animation definitely made up for it, it was so clean.
I'm really interested in the Tsaritsa due to the stories of all the people that are under her. Considering in HI3 Bronya's element is ice, she's from Russia, and she's the CEO of Mihoyo in a skit the company did, I really see no universe where the cyro archon isn't an expy of her.
That kick was beautiful
This is the moment where Genshin finally showed their Honkai DNA lmao
Mind you there is a Genshin Anime being worked on, so this is literally the closest thing we get for that Anime
That was so cool!
those anime short are always so well made, cant wait to see what the anime will look like when it get release.
I’ve never seen such a clean and satisfying kick 😂🤣🤣🤣
That scene where Clervie died really remind me of how Yahiko died in Naruto 😭
The animation and music and the reaction was all 10/10 really enjoyed it!!!
This animated short was an amazing surprise, first proper animated short for Genshin
Arlecchino gone super saiyan 😂❤
Woo now that was a kick Sanji would be proud of lol
Stupid
This was one of the best kick in anime history
GENSHIN could never WuWa is the GOAT!!!
Hoyo cooked with this one NGL
One more thing — Peruere/Arlecchino's curse is turning her skin darker, which unless they elaborate otherwise, sorta suggests she's on the process of turning into a hilichurl. Possible Khaenriahn roots perhaps?
YOOO
Also Roger, if you look on bruises you can understand that "Mother" acted kind, but was cruel and was beating children hardly for anything.
2:04 if you think that's bad you should play a certain Five Star's story quest I don't want to spoil it who it is but trust me it's worth playing. And yeah her background would be a bit Promised Neverland but in the Genshin lore, the fatui do perform experiments on children but it kind of looks like that Alencchino was brainwashed and you can tell that she regretted doing that.
Can Roger see this comment?
Ooo gave me chills!!
The stabbing reminded me of Naruto and the tree scene reminded me of AoT. Anime is frying my brain
The "Old" house of the Hearth operated on Battle Royal rules. Arlecchino just wiped out tomato town.
you're acting like you've never seen ANIME before
Who wants to copium with me for clervie return
"Mother" was the previous Arlecchino who acted kind but was cruel. She once told a child to burn down a village. Each child in the house are allowed to have friends but must kill their friends to become "King". Peruere killed the previous Arlecchino only to replace them later under the order of the Tsaritsa. Our Knave became "Father" for the kids in the House of the Hearth and acted opposite. The Knave acted cruel but was kind to the kids coz she wants the kids to be strong since the world outside can be cruel.
2:12 i think she offed herself rather than fighting Arle. The shot is kind of a common way to depict that in anime and manga without fully showing it, and we dont see her hands so she is likely holding the sword hilt.
Since Fontaine's release fans have been speculating about Arlecchino's black hands (hopefully there's an answer finally soon). The newest theory with the trailer is that she has something similar to Signora.
Signora was a pyromancer that was meant to be consumed by fire and her delusion acted like seal (it allowed her to delay her death). Arlecchino's curse might actually have something to do with loving someone since her hands in present day look very different to when she was younger
Considering she wants Lyney to be the next "Father" and perhaps even Knave, this curse could be forcing her to do something similar to the "King "ritual and following the steps of Mother. According to Lyney though he doesn't want the title and prefers keep being a magician, his siblings don't know about Arlecchino's plan and we know now that's because Lynery doesn't wanna fight to death for the title.
A lot of fatui have the previous Arlecchino as reference and don't know how different the current one is or if she is different at all aside of the opposite titles.
