Mavuika checks all the boxes to be the archon

she has special sun-shaped eyes just like Zhongli has diamonds, Nahida has flowers and Furina has drops

She also has different colored streaks at the tips of her hair

she doesn't have a vision the teaser basically shows 360° of her model

and she was talking to the primal fire

[Jothun]

I'm so excited to see and experience what they've cooked up for Natlan and how much emotional pain we're in for

[turtleismyreligion]

The six flames bear the symbols of each tribe, which were already shown in the first natlan teaser with the first three saurians.
However, the tribe symbols are slightly different from the saurian symbols, but still share the key shape.

[Jothun]

There are 2 potentially 3 character I'm saving for, Capitano and the Pyro Archon, I'm going to also save for the Himeko look alike even if she isn't the archon

[jewelabyss]

Now that's how you build up hype. And I like how everyone looks exactly how a Mayan or Aztec civilization is supposed to look🔥

[KesukeW]

Random stuff about the VAs I just found out

1:07 These two (Kinich and Ajaw) are voiced by Sasuke and Naruto's VAs in JP lmao

While Citlali 1:13 has the same voice as March 7th in English

[heytgp]

IN THIS UNIVERSE WE NEVER LET YOU GO HIMEKO <3

[SuperInu]

"So... that's Himeko, right?" - "Not entirely sure, but... maybe? Hopefully?!" - *Archon proceeds to die during the archon quest* - "Yeah, it's Himeko."

[pinguprice]

Again can't explain how excited I am to see you play this. I just can't add Genshin to my gacha list and so to experience the story through you is the best. You have a lot of great insights and thought 😊

[ShizukiShirano]

Mavuika can be a Murata decendant (like Vanessa) but Genshin Himeko is probobly already dead. Or all of the Murata died (hence lore about remnants of them leaving and traveling or being taking as slaves) and Mavuika is the First Pyro Archon. Or both as its GI. Whats interesting Mavuika is a Dark Garuda and Pheonix (like Fu Hua) so she potentially Reincarnated already to this state.

Natlan looks amazing, oh my god. I'm so excited for the probable absolute rollercoaster Hoyo has in store for us! The fire ring I think are the symbols of the tribes of Natlan. Also seeing how this chapter in the Prelude trailer is called Ode to Resurrection, perhaps she's planning to resurrect the actual Pyro Archon, cause I'm not 100% sure she even is the Archon and I think the Archon is supposed to be Murata? Unless that's her real name like how Venti is Barbatos and so on. Or maybe she's trying to resurrect the Pyro Sovereign?

I watched the trailer and didn't even notice the red hair girl looked like Himeko till I saw the thumbnail of this video lmao

[quicksilver]

I think the ball was just more of like an Olympic Torch.

[Keiki-kun]

She's not exactly Himeko but at the same time she is

because the expies in Genshin are never exact copies of the Honkai characters

but her predecessor was called Murata so for me that's enough, welcome back Himeko

Looking through the comments on this video, it seems your viewers are more perceptive than a lot of other Genshin CC's audiences, because most of what I want to say is mentioned in some way already.. Still, I'd like to add my own big theory into the mix here, starting with the big question people ask during the video -
"Who is she (the archon, Mavuika) talking to, is it us?" I think she's speaking directly to Xbalanque, aka the Pyro Dragon Sovereign. In fact, I believe I've got the main plot of Natlan actually figured out, tbh. Here goes..

Mavuika says, in short, "What we see ought to be our fate, but for now close your eyes and feel.. for with our blood we will forge our fate" while she's shown facing six flames, each flame with the symbol of one of the Tribes of Natlan in them. The significance of what she says about "blood" and "fate" is related to the ball that they pass around in the trailer; as in ancient Aztec culture they would hold *ritual warfare* in the form of a sport similar to modern basketball, and the losing tribe's team would be executed and their blood sacrificed to the deities..

Now keep in mind that in the Tevat Chapter Storyline trailer, Natlan's chapter is called "Incandescent Ode of Resurrection"; Incandescent meaning 'Bright Flames/Heat' & Ode meaning 'the story of'. Also, in Neuvellette's description of Xbalanque they are referred to as "One Entombed With the Primal (Primordial) Fire" and in that same dark room where the six Tribe flames are there is a *single, huge flame* with six different symbols circling it, which if you look closely are the symbols of the six Vishap/Dragon breeds in Natlan! Now I won't go deep into the real world lore of Xbalanque but the tldr is that they are a hero from Mayan myth who helped defeat the Gods of the Underworld.. see where I'm going yet?

I think Mavuika is holding the Tournament as a Wargame centered around the ball sport in order to gather the blood (or whatever similar sacrifice medium is needed) of strong warriors and use it to bring Xbalanque fully back to life. I believe that the Fatui have knowledge of ways to revive the dead to some degree based on what we've seen, so they send Capitano as he is their strongest and thus can contribute the most to the sacrifice method as he's so good at combat, and also as a show of good faith to ensure Mavuika hands over the Gnosis after the Sovereign is resurrected. As to why the Archon wants to revive the Sovereign though I can't say, especially since we know NOTHING about her or her past that we could use to gauge her motives, sadly

[Kizzukun]

I never expected to like every single character design, holy crap

[stevieveringus]

I am waiting for Columbina. The feathers in her hair remind me of Aztec gods designs

[lonewolfjediosswfan]

Despite what people are saying, Mavuika, the Pyro Archon, is designed after Himeko. The “angry” character is voiced by Skyler Davenport, aka March

Genshin Final Lesson Incoming yehey 💅✨🤩

[ShdwllDragon]

btw they called the archon Murata but the way she looks is a bit more like Shakespeare from Honkai Impact 3rd
