She HAD to include that he was very demure and very mindful 😭

[SaltusC]

I dont think they're gonna hit us with the secon "she isn't the actual archon", especially after we already had a similar plot twist in fontaine

[thomas_the_cat]

minsleif: take it with a grain of salt
my failing kidneys: ah sh*t here we go again

[ArchonKujo]

I'm kind of late on this topic but knowing that the slimes throughout the game Really does signal what the Archons will be doing in the future, So knowing that Mavuika's hair starts glowing was already hinted at from the Pyro Slime.

[shmolsss]

No wonder they got no Archon, Bennet is chillin in Mondstadt

[qiao.i]

me: oh, natlan's not going to dethrone fontaine as my favourite region, how could it?

natlan:

Also Capitano’s comment to her is obviously interesting, but with this pov I can totally see why it would be useless to her if she isn’t a successor to the Pyro throne.

[WhiteKoneko]

If nobody's having faith in Mavuika I'll be that one person that rooting for her.❤😭

[Truck-kun]

How much do you want to bet that the Traveler will inherit the Ancient Name of some great hero of the past (Perhaps the first Pyro Archon) and that way they will acquire the Pyro Element?

[insertsomethinghere]

babe wake up, minslief posted natlan lore

[chihaotran]

There is a fun fact that the Lyrics of Natlan Battle theme: Anthem of Savannah is actually in the Description of the Pyro Ascension Gem 🧐🧐

Genshin really did plan out since 1.0 ❤

[ZetaMoolah]

Side note: The Pale Princess and the Six Pygmies might not be an allegory👀👀👀👀👀👀
1. They directly called the Night Kingdom by name.
2. They showed it in the trailer.
3. Capitano might be from the Night Kingdom.

Aside from all the Natlan shenanigans, we're going to Snezhnaya next year. I can't wrap my head around this.

I’m usually right about my initial feelings about archons. When we first saw Raiden, I had this gut feeling she had Dissociative Identity. When we met Furina, I had this feeling she was acting to the point of convincing HERSELF of something false. When I saw Mavuika… she gave off the vibe of someone putting on a show, much like Furina, but there’s something else there. I don’t think she wants this archon gig at all.

[ArchonKujo]

This will forever be the best Genshin Impact update, It's got a lot that we wanted for the past 4 years of this game's support even though that this patch is going to highly focus more on the story which is great, there's still a lot of explanation on what will happen to Mavuika, But since the nation is known for war, I wonder if that "war" might happen throughout the Archon Quest, well I'm sure it's going to have its relations with the name, but it's also been talking about "resurrection" meaning a certain character will be brought back to life, and hopefully that is Signora.

[DisguisedParrot]

The fact that there is no pyro traveler... Its so suspicious.

[weiss]

With the whole name thing being relevant to Natlan, I can only remember

"A pilgrimage for a wish; a battle to earn a name..."
"Burnt to cinders for a dream."
"If the intention yet remains, achieved ▉▉'s truth he has."

I wonder whose name this is. Thanks for the vid!

[PixelleHearts]

I don't think Mavuika is the the archon because, since the game is mostly basing Natlan on Mesoamerica, the prominent phoenix deity was a "white god" who represented the sky, resurrection and wisdom and is most notably represented as Quetzalqoatl. Their brother/sibling was the real god of war, Huitzilopochtli (hummingbird god), who was said to be clad in blue turquoise and was tied to the sun and hummingbirds; hummingbirds being the avatars for dead warriors reincarnated back into the world.

So, how does this link up? Well we know Mavuika can turn into the phoenix in the teaser. We know about Ancient Names and the fact that the "then-Archon" could resurrect from having their name stored somewhere in Irminsul and inscribed in the ruins of Natlan. The last archon was in charge of establishing the tribal runes that we know are inscribed into the flames of the antechamber Mavuika was talking in at the end of the teaser. She seems to be trying to stoke the flames of all the tribal runes to resurrect or evoke something out of them, all of which were blue flames encased in her orange and red flames; Mavuika does not use turquoise blue flames as her main motif.

She is worried that Natlan will be destroyed in the next year, which makes no sense because if she was the Archon, she could just resurrect who she pleases and just issue a convention of the Archons much like how they did for the Khaenriahn cataclysm centuries prior if they wanted to prevent the destuction of one of the nations of Teyvat; if she had any form of archonic power, she should be able to leverage it to receive assistance.

I hope someday when natlan map expanding, they make a world boss named mokele mbembe. An cryptid monster or dino from Congo Africa. That would be cool haha

3:15 made me joke on my water😂 I just imagined Tupac (the rapper) in genshin 😂
