one Kaeya's line from the Archon quest is different that what is shown. in The archives, he says "My father might have left me in Mond for no other reason than to just keep me alive."

Kaeya and Diluic reminded me of a future Lumine and Aether

This was so interesting! The fact that he can indeed give the keys to the city has just opened a whole new world for me, that theory will resonate with me for a while

I swear this boy have more lore confusion then any other character ive seen so far with stories then any other characters, just like Venti. both are mysterious and are half-truth and half-secrets(both also like wine and can flirt also💀)liks where did he originally came from, we know from the 3.5 Caribert quest that Kaeya says that Dainsleif is a pure blood Khanri'ah and his eyes has an obvious primogem in it, same with Chothar, Halfdan, btu Kaeya's is smaller and slightly faint, meaning that one or more of his ancestors are from Teyvat itself, perhaps Sumeru?, we may never know unless it's reveal in the future

WOW. Great video, I really enjoyed it.
Also have something to add. Having one eye, esp in a fight is a tremendous weakness. With one eye, depth perception is gone, and beside it, you have an obvious blind side, which from your enemies can surprise you. (yes, there are people who can fight with one eye, see Michael Bisping, but mainly in a controlled environment, and 1v1, in a battlefield you can get attacked from your blind side, and than it's over)
Why would Kaeya voluntarily cover that eye, impairing himself that much, if there is nothing's going on with that eye? He is a professional knight, he has to fight regularly, as his profession. He has to fight with multiple people, in unfamiliar environments.
Maybe he does it so his enemies would underestimate him? (in the game a lots of times he uses his charm to make people talk) Or something is different with his eye he covers.

Wouldn't Mondstadt nobles know to recognize that Kaeya is of Khaenri'ahn descent from the shape of his eyes?

There is an interesting theory that Crepus was a secret Harbinger (if it was betrayal or not). Imagine what if 😂

[shironeko]

Kaeya’s eyepatch has become just like Kakaxhi’s mask from Naruto. Everyone wants to know what’s under it but no one else that the person himself knows 😂

I really love your analysis, i looked on your page and didnt see a part two—maybe I missed it. Either way, im hoping to hear more about your thoughts about this, and i found your analysis very insightful.

Patiently awaiting a part two, best regards!! 😊

love the video, and is it just me, or do you sound like garnet from steven universe? anyway, love the soothing voice!

I suspect that it wasn't by chance that he was left by the winery. I think his father made an arrangement with Diluc's father to take in and raise Kaeya. It is very likely that there is a ulterior motive for the Ragnvindr's to be chosen but it was planned out with Diluc's father.

Did kaeya know how to speak the language of Mondstadt before or did he have to learn it that's my question
