  1. I have seen a patern that there is one harbinger from each region (or is conected to one), The Jester is from Khaenri'ah, Pantalone is from liyue, Signora is from Mondstat, Scara is from Inazuma, Dottore is from Sumeru, Sandrone is probably from Fontaine, but we are missing someone from Natlan, now in my mind Capitano is the best probable option to be conected to Natlan considering the warrior culture they probably have there, the other harbinger that might be from Natlan is Arlechino but it doesnt make that much sense in my mind, the other harbingers are probably from Snezhnaya like Childe

  2. despite the fact that capitano looks terrifying, i have a feeling by what we’ve heard about him when we meet him he’s going to take on more of a friendly role sort of like childe in liyue, even tho we fought him in the end childe and the traveller stayed rather friendly during the archon quest and even during his story quest. i see something like this in the future in natlan (where i think we’re meeting capitano because it just makes sense)

    edit: reasons behind why i personally think we’re meeting capitano in natlan. one, what aster said about his ties to combat and the pyro archon being the god of war. two if the theory that he is #1 of the harbingers and pierro is actually the overseer or whatever is correct, which i think it is after watching ashikai’s video and how in the comments of the video all of the harbingers are labeled as harbingers, while pierro is labeled as “director of the fatui”. so if he is #1 it would make the most sense to meet him in the nation right before we go to sneznaya. all of that might be obvious but i wanted to say it anyway.

  3. if when capitano comes out as playable (because i refuse to believe hoyo would waste that model) and he’s like eula where he’s best used as physical dps, he is the bloodstained night confirmed

  4. Taking care about capital letters is important in Genshin.
    I had to explain to my mate that Enkanomiya in in the abyss, but not in the Abyss.
    like… abyss and Abyss is two different things.
    'abyss' is just an abyss, a pit, a void
    when 'Abyss' is the name of the in-game place, where Abyss Order resides

  5. Hi Aster. I know you've been putting much effort into creating these kinds of videos. Would like to request that if ever we look for sources in the future hope that we turn to legitimate sources not Wikipedia. Thank you so much 🥰

  6. So far Capitano is the only harbinger with no negative statements. He has been known to be chivalrous and strong even someone like Scaramouche didn't say anything negative about him. Fatui members including Childe either admires him for his strength or respect him. Varka's letter further prove this when he doesn't seem to bother others instead he somehow helped him in his situations as well as he speaks highly of his strength.

    Man is literally the opposite of his version in Commedia Dell'arte where he basically just an all talk but no action as he always run away of being scared to fight anyone who he thinks is strong. While genshin seems to potray him as someone who don't talk much and lets his actions speaks for itself

  7. Inspired by the Capitano is a fraud theory, what if he is like King from OPM. A regular human, who due to insane luck and random circumstances manages to defeat all enemies he faces and become famous? That would fit with the Capitano from the Comeddia, and also would explain why Varka said he is a normal human

  8. Tbh it makes sense that someone named captain was an actual captain xd
    Also I think the fact that everyone likes him is sus maybe is a magic/abyss power that influence people…or he is just really good at faking

  9. 2:05 Arlecchino also referred to Signora as Rosalyne, right? (Insert rant about the Genshin Wiki claiming that Signora and Rosalyne might still not be the same person even though the teaser confirmed it.)

  10. I believe Capitano is indeed a human, but we have already seen that "human" in Genshin is relative.

    Both Scaramouche and Dottore himself describe Dottore as human. But we know he is at least 400+ years old, has/had multiple segments who seemed to share a hivemind to some extent, very likely made agumentations to himself etc.
    Shenhe despite being often mistaken for an adeptus is a regular human as well but has no problem casually carrying huge boulders around that probably weight at least a ton.
    Kokomi is questionable (the theory of her being a dragon heir) but at least at this point she is supposed to be a human too despite being able to float, breath under water, walk on water etc.
    I'm sure there are more examples of "human" characters possessing inhuman abilities.

    So yeah, Capitano was called a human by Varka and leaks (not confirmed) doubled down on him being a human, but that doesn't mean he can't be practically immortal with crazy abilities.

  11. I think that to understand who Capitano is, you need to know who is Bogatyr (Богатырь) in Russian culture. I'm pretty confident he is based on it, and no one here knows what it is. Knowing Hoyoverse really cares about cultures in particular, it is very likely. Basically, Bogatyrs are heroes of Russian epics and legends, distinguished by great strength and performing feats of a religious or patriotic nature. The heroes stood guard over Rus', at the outpost. Some stories associated with the heroes go back to historical events. They are generally portrayed as buff warriors with armor, they ride on horses, there is a famous picture called "Богатыри" if you want to see what it looks like.
    I think that Capitano will be represented as a gigachad who simply slays all enemies and don't think about anything. He is in fact just so purely focused on power, that he doesn't have much time to think about a bigger picture, and justifies all he does with that it's for the sake of Snezhnaya. He really strongly reminds me of "Богатырь".

  12. I speculate,that since the Captain is the only one whose face has never been shown yet,he's likely-unlikely gonna be an armor set animated via powerful magic.Being once a human,he managed to find a way to make himself kinda semi-immortal,and that's why he's among the Harbringers,i think.

  13. Long comment incoming.

    My personal theory or headcanon is that they are at Natlan to fight the pyro archon to take their gnosis. Nahida states the top 3 are rivals to the Archons themselves and having Capitano demonstrate that beating the most militaristic Archon would be the best way of setting up Shneznaya, the very region after.

    The pyro archon is the god of war and as such, I can totally imagine them being unwilling to part with their gnosis without a fight. Knowing this, the Fatui send what is essentially their strongest combatant to retrieve it from such a foe with that being Capitano's job. Whether he wins the respectable way like the Fatui hype his character to be, the cowardly tactic way via poison or hostages to give strength to his inspiration or not winning at all but proving himself as a strong fighter and earning the gnosis I don't know but I personally would prefer if he actually won.

    Going from Mondstant onwards we are seeing more and more the power of people over that of the power of deities, gods or other beings: Diluc and Jean helping Venti with Dvalin, the Adepti and Liyue working together – going from a ruling power to deities and humans working together in harmony – to Inazuma where we have humanity fight back against injustice and with the power of their visions – help from the gods – to defeat or change their oppressor to humans misusing the power or hunger for godlike power, doing inhumane acts like the scholars in Sumeru. Going by such a trend, I can imagine Fontaine being about understanding between gods and humans that their ideals and very natures are incompatible, with humans dying in mere moments compared to a deity's life span twisting their view of logic and injustice, hence why there isn't a hydro archon that has stuck and finally Natlan proving that we don't need God's anymore in teyvat to rule over us and what better way to prove that than by beating the Archon in their respective field i.e. war and combat with nothing but pure human strength. That we don't need the gods to rule over us anymore and a human, like Captiano, proves that by being a normal human and winning at the end of the day.

    Leaks (trust them however much you like) state that Capitano is the strongest individual in Teyvat and Genshin many times state his humanity. From this, I can imagine that Capitano might very well be the Fatui's driving will and strength as to why they are doing all this now (By now I mean started collecting Gnosis this very moment instead of earlier), having a human on the level/exceed that of the current gods might have been the Tsaritsa's and the Jester's final motivation to fight Celestia, to avenge Kheanria and show the value of humans.

    Other theories I have is that he is entirely human but either loosely connected to higher powers like the moon sisters or is a reincarnation of previous lords if not gods hence his strength and power. He could be related to the Kheanrian's hence the mask and is unaffected by the curse or its negative properties or he could just be a really good guy who sides with humans in the fight against Celestia in direct contrast to the inspiration Capitano and is just super strong.

  14. I could also feel like he lost his 'humanity' and got imbued by powers from the Abyss which he pledged himself to, not exactly the Abyss Order from Khaenri'ah. The same one Childe fell unto, and where Skirk resides – maybe she and Capitano know each other..? I highly hope he is the Bloodtstained Knight as well, there's just so many things that point it out. Great video as always, sis.

  15. Finally someone bringing this one to the public sight! Man, I don't know why the idea of possible betrayal of the Harbingers by Captain is so difficult to imagine to y'all. Thank you!
    Also insane, you actually analysed their Comedia Del Arte base the right way.
    Bro you're doing good things in here. Keep up.
