This was a very fascinating detail in the 2.3 trailer, I missed it in my previous video.

or is it a Bake-Danuki in Dragonspine, taking on Albedo's appearance 🤔

[saveagel]

Perhaps this mirror is this "monster" he was talking about

[wayababaya]

also albedo’s burst comes up from the ground while “mirror Albedo’s” attack was shooting down while he was in the air

[razor]

Also worth mentioning that cryo samachurls have identical attacks to geo samachurls, both summon destructible pillars from the ground to raise themselves up

[Lol-xnup]

Why do I think all of this has something to do with Dottore... There's a theory that fatui wants to resurrect Signora, that's why they stole Albedo's notes

[thanhthanhlu]

Normal albedo: throw flower
Evil albedo: throw popsicles

[r__]

Maybe the "Mirror Albedo" is made by the Fatui, and the only one that will logically do something this mad is iL Dottore, given his ranks as one of the smartest harbingers since he is a doctor. The one who stole the notes maybe isnt Dottore himself, but could be his subordinates. Just like how the Fatui (spesifIcally Signora's Subordinates) wants the Festering Desire from The Traveler and Albedo.

[scy_long]

The Fatui might be trying to replicate the art of Khemia and either created a mirror Albedo or someone (Dottore) was able to take control of Albedo.

and 1 more thing you forgot to talk about:
- ALbedo speaks in his burst but in that mirror Albedo his totally silent.

- His real burst shoots into the sky from the ground ground but his reflextion is him shootong from the sky to the ground.

- He was standing still when using his original burst but he jumped realluy high in this trailer.

- The new Wopper flower in the event is actually the combination of cryo and electro and problaby could turn into humans if the other ones turns into flowers

( Never expected my thoughts will have 600 likes ;-; )

There's a comment somewhere that says the color of yellow is the opposite of blue, so for my addition to the invert/mirror theory is that both cryo and geo slimes can shield themselves of their element. This goes to show that the Cryo Gnosis will also be a Rook peice similar to the Geo Gnosis.

Prediction: the avalanche that covered Albedo was caused by mirror Albedo himself

[lonelyisamanwithoutlove]

The Eula and Albedo scene maybe related to how the names of their normal attacks? Edel and weiss, Edelweiss combined respectively which is a flower idk I just saw this a while back. Im sorry if im not making any sense here

[Undetermination]

Another thing to add to the "Mirror Albedo" Theory is the fact that the Mirror Albedo's hair bang is covering his right eye, while normal Albedo's hair bang covers his left.

Albedo loosing control is too early so hes just in a silly goofy mood here

[QuickQwack]

Albedo mention that he could lose control. What if it is actually that happening. He is usually emotionless and very calm and he seemed in the trailer like he lost his cool (no puns intended). Maybe he unleashed one of his old powers. Maybe some of durin's energy from the sword was still underground and grew stronger has the time passed, hence the avalanche.

[hp-rgs]

This is reminding me of myself: a screen or a mask can be put upon oneself to "fit in" or hide one's own emotions, but on the other hand, an inner fire/passionate self full of emotion and expression is just waiting to hit the surface. Golden light, light a version of higher self, blue as cryo, a piercing passion. This true self, knowing others, knowing one's own light is a reflection in others, a signifying statement to one's own truth.

This is such an amazing analogy- the earth flowers, buried in the earth, Albedo's flowers are geo. I'm getting strong "Persona" vibes. And Avatar The Last Airbender, when Zuko wore the mask and expressed his martial arts superpower. This might actually not be Albedo, but it could be a representation of the self or something he was trying to create (as his documents were used for some sort of "experiment" if I'm assuming correctly). I wonder if his story will include a greater delving into his sciences, his arts, what he plans to seek. Ultimately, I'm looking forward to it.

(Note: I haven't gone far on Albedo's story. So if I have something wrong, please forgive me.)

The projectiles that 'albedo' shoots also look something like the cryo whopperflower's attack, the one in which it bends and shoots cryo at the player

[redmunchie]

Just a theory here:

It could be that the Albedo who blasted Eula and the others was a clone, or something that can't be explained. But it's possible. If you remember in the manga, there's this dude, a doctor named Dottore, who was experimenting on people, which included his former lackey, and tried to make them into an indestructible creature who would eliminate anyone in its wake.

Mainly, it could mean that Dottore was looking for the secret of life itself, which is one of Albedo's sphere of influences. So it was possible that Dottore heard of Albedo's knowledge and stole his alchemy notes. Dottore probably made a clone--whether by accident, I'm not sure--of Albedo or something to test it out. Like I said, just a theory.

As for the avalanche, I'm stumped. I don't know what that means.

[hanoianboy]

I'm just happy that Eula, Albedo, Bennett and Amber actually make an appearance in a major plot event.
Eula has probably zero screentime outside of her story quest.
Albedo was briefly featured in the Chalk Prince and the Dragon event and Windblume.
Bennett only has a hangout and Windblume presence.
Amber has her story quest and Razor's and the first character we meet, but it's still too little and she is probably more like a friend than any major character.

Wait Mihoyo has a thing for giving characters alter ego this is has been pretty consistent in honkai yknow those "characters that cant control their evil alter ego" example of characters in honkai is kiana, Fu hua & Seele if u search abt them u will notice all their alter ego's seem to be a reflection of them and even have the opposite colors & personality I wouldn't be suprised if they introduce this theme to genshin maybe what albedo ment of lossing control is losing control too his alter ego after all this would not be the 1st time mihoyo has done this
