The Story of the Kitsune Saiguu | Genshin Impact Lore



This video contains spoilers for the Inazuma Archon Quest, Yougou Cleansing Ritual and Gorou Hangout so I’d advise completing those before watching.

In this video we’ll be looking into Saiguu’s lore and story, her personality and the relationships she has with the people she encountered in her long life. She’s one of the most interesting characters in the entire game for me with her knowledge about the moons, Visions and the importance of memory in Teyvat.

Apologies for the long break, I had a lot irl taking my focus away these past months and I didn’t want to make any videos without putting all of my attention and effort into them. I hope you can understand. Things should be back on track again.

  1. Kitsune Saiguu is one those characters that appears through others's stories, mentioned but never seen her face. Even though we never managed to meet her, we can see how much influence and impact on Inazuma's story. Is because of her, Ei got her determination to reach her path towards Eternity. Thanks to her, Haranosuke created the Dojo to honor her legacy and created Shiki Taishou. Because of her, she saved and protected the Tanuki baby (until now).

  2. The books in this game are like a Messiah
    They give far more lore than the actual gameplay does, it's like a blessing to all the lore cravers like us
    Sure I wonder who is the black haired fox, and where this dandelion sea is at, and if it's the hakushin land, it will be awesomeee
    So because dandelion = anemo, does venti have any relations with the kitsunes as well?
    Does Yae know something of the catcalysm ?
    And is the heart's desire, the heart of one of the yakshas? Or pervases?Or is it someone else
    So many questions :3
    But this was a well done video Dean loved it

  3. …..Man, you brought back the tears in my eyes the minute you mentioned Kazari. Like damn the Inazuma arc was very good and as for the lore itself, hearing it really did feel like a story that while we don't know much about the fox in question, we can at least tell that before the war, she was at peace with everyone else. It also helps that what happened to Ei really did ring home the fact that she needed help and Saiguu was good in that regard. Again what little we do know, it was still a soild story to hear and hey at least Ei, Sara, Itto and Yae are all living happy lives……..still waiting on Yae to be playable though lol. Anyway, nice job on this video as always, hope you had a Merry Christmas and can't wait for Shenhe to drop!
