  1. I know he was joking when he said Zhongli runs the biggest counterfeiting bussiness but I'm just going to say it anyway what Zhongli made is the only legal currency excluding Fontaines prison, Zhongli was the mint. Also I think Zhongli is actually poor now, there is actually a dialogue option where the traveller asks Zhongli why he didn't make himself a bunch of money so he could get by before he handed over the gnosis and lost the ability to make money and he said he didn't think of it.

  2. Wasn't Zhongli an adeptus before he became an archon? he has the title of Primus Adeptus which I'm not sure if he got that title before or after becoming an archon but he would still have had to be an adeptus to get it, he even has an adeptus beast form.

  3. Rukadevata was almost as much ancient god as Zhongli. She was there in Sumeru before Gods war, because it is said that Goddess of flowers (one of the remaining moon sisters) walked through desert and she established her little kingdom (garden) she was there with two others king gods: King Deshret and lord Rukadevata, all 3 had bond with each other and friendships because they loved wisdom and they refused to participate in Gods war.

  4. The Shivada gemstone has the best inscription by far:

    "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."

    I have a weird feeling that Dottore will end up being the final antagonist. A lot of the Fatui Harbingers have a side that you can respect, even Signora just wanting to completely destroy the Abyss even if it means going up against anyone that might stand in her way. But Dottore… damn, that guy is just a scumbag.

    The upcoming patch is gonna be a giant kitchen for theorycrafters.

  5. Hi! These are some minor things that I was able to point out, but great video as always!

    10:00 Venti was indeed summoned like every Archon, but he didn't make it to Khaenri'ah. Right after killing Durin, he went to sleep because he too got corrupted by Durin's abyssal energy.

    16:55 Bosacius also got corrupted and went senile because of the Karmic Debt. But during the Chasm's crisis, he somehow managed to regain some shreds of sanity, at least enough to remember that he had a duty to fight for Liyue. When they were both sealed down there, he managed to regain full sanity before his Karmic Debt along his wounds finally killed him, leaving his companion (Yelan's ancestor) alone.

    19:37 Zhongli did NOT think ahead and create enough Moras for himself before retiring, he says so himself. The colossal sums he spends are actually well within his earnings as the most demanded consultant in Liyue (he brings in a LOT of money for the Funeral Parlor, which explains why Hu Tao lets him put bills on the Parlor's name). The richest person in Liyue, and arguably Teyvat but she's in competition with Pantalone, is Ninnguang.

    23:48 Although Chiyo and Sasayuri can be considered undirect ancestors to Itto and Sara, Saiguu wasn't Yae's ancestor. They lived at the same time period, and they would even often go to yokai events together. Yae Miko was born some undisclosed time BEFORE the Cataclysm. Before officially becoming Ei's familiar, she was kind of Saiguu's apprentice and Makoto's favorite yokai.

    25:45 The Raiden Shogun wasn't a dictator, it was just too strict and rigid as a ruler. Also, it's outside influence (the Fatui) that made the puppet's rule go astray, even though Ei agreed later that Inazuma needed more flexibility. "Dura Lex, sed Lex" they say.

    27:20 It's Ei who placed Makoto's consciousness there and sealed it, in order to avoid "Makoto"'s total disappearance.

    29:25 Scaramouche isn't Ei's failure, he's his own. It's said and explained that Scara was a prototype, then put to eternal sleep and sealed away in a domain (sacred places in Inazuma btw, not where just anybody should go in the first place). It was either that or being essentially dismembered and permanently unalived like Miko suggested, but Ei didn't want to kill him.

  6. One thing I don't like is when people compare Archons strength. Like oh Ei is the most powerful she sliced an island in half, oh Barbatos actually cut mountains to create islands, Morax killed the most dos and created islands and mountains, and so on so forth. There will never be a conclusion to these constant arguments. Anyway you did a great job on the video though

  7. Maybe the first Cryo archon was the Tsaritsa's love interest/Parental figure and the original cryo archon's successor and because of the celestia's order to the archons in the cataclysm the first cryo archon perishes which led the god of love to be consumed with grief and hatred upon the death of the first cryo archon. Leaks suggests that the model for the tsaritsa will be teen girl model so I bet she is the successor/Daughter of the first cryo archon, besides, she wouldn't grief that much and overthrow celestial if it weren't because of the death of her mother🤷‍♂️

  8. You forgot to mention that the Traveler still remembers Rukadevata at least. Also, I don't think Nahida will truly die in the game, for gameplay reasons. Why make her a playable char if she's going to die in the long run? Same reason why I think Paimon will in the end still remain our traveling companion because of the pause screen. The brief time we couldn't access it during the Caribert quest just shows how important she is gameplay wise.

    Fav archon used to be Nahida, but now it's Mavuika. That can still change.

  9. Side note about Venti's 2nd Story Quest (or lack of one currently), seeing how we'll be dealing with Durin in the future (thanks to this year's summer event), maybe after that's dealt with, we might get Venti's 2nd story since he does have ties with Durin. I'd be shocked if Venti didn't show up during the Durin situation though.
